Green Brick Partners, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results
PLANO, Texas--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“Green Brick,” “we,” or the “Company”), today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Third quarter net income attributable to Green Brick was $78 million or $1.77 per diluted share. The Company delivered 953 new homes, which was substantially in line to 2024’s third quarter. Home closings revenue was $499 million, compared to $523 million in the third quarter of 2024. Homebuilding gross margins of 31.1% increased 70 basis points sequentially and decreased 160 basis points year-over-year as the Company adjusted incentives and sales prices to align with market demand. Approximately 80% of home closings revenue was generated from infill and infill-adjacent locations.
“Our third quarter results demonstrated the resilience of our differentiated business model amid a challenging market environment,” said Jim Brickman, CEO and co-founder. “For the tenth consecutive quarter, our gross margins remained above 30%, continuing to lead the public homebuilding industry. In these conditions, we were particularly pleased to maintain sales velocity, with net new orders growing 2.4% year-over-year to 898 units, a record for any third quarter in Company history. Our sales cancellation rate declined 1.8% year-over-year and 3.2% sequentially to 6.7%, among the lowest among our public company peers. Our monthly sales pace increased slightly year-over-year to just under 3.0 sales per community. This performance underscores the strength of our infill-focused land self-development strategy, which we believe continues to deliver meaningful competitive advantages.”
Mr. Brickman added, “Like our peers across the industry, we addressed both affordability pressures and elevated interest rates by strategically adjusting pricing and incentives to sustain sales momentum. As a result, incentives for new orders rose 2.8% year-over-year and 1.2% sequentially to 8.9%.”
Mr. Brickman continued, “At quarter-end, we maintained a homebuilding debt-to-total capital ratio of 15.3% and a net homebuilding debt-to-total capital ratio of 9.5%, positioning us among the most financially strong homebuilders. We believe our investment-grade balance sheet, combined with our differentiated land strategy, provides the flexibility to adapt to evolving market conditions, resilience in challenging environments, and resources to capitalize on opportunities. Our focus remains on executing proven strategies, balancing price and pace to achieve top-tier returns, and delivering consistent value to shareholders through operational performance and capital returns.”
Mr. Brickman concluded, “We remain excited about the future and believe we are well positioned for continued growth. As part of the next stage of our expansion, I am thrilled that we broke ground on our first master-planned community in the Houston market, and we anticipate being open for sales there in time for the spring selling season.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following table represents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted homebuilding gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and reconciles these amounts to homebuilding gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
