Summary
$2.66 billion in Q2 revenue topped analyst estimates of $2.62 billion, while adjusted EPS of $2.97 also beat forecasts even as sales fell 9.7% from a year earlier.
13.5% operating margin narrowed from 17.4% a year ago, but Toll Brothers said affluent buyers, disciplined pricing and flat overall build costs helped cushion a subdued housing market.
471 open communities at quarter-end, up from 420 a year earlier, supported management's target for 8% to 10% annual community-count growth; the luxury move-up segment generated 61% of home sales revenue.
$6.24 billion backlog slipped 2.2% year over year, underscoring softer demand as elevated mortgage rates persist despite the builder's $452 million land investment and expanding optioned-lot strategy.
