 decrease of $21.1 million, or 9.1%, from $233.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Net income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $258.9 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 1.1%, from $261.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The overall decreases in operating income and net income before income taxes were primarily due to overall lower home closings at a lower absorption rate, and higher advertising and other costs associated with the increase in average community count during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.  The following reportable segments contributed to net income before income taxes during the year ended December 31, 2024 as follows: Central - $66.7 million, or 25.8%; Southeast - $85.3 million, or 32.9%; Northwest - $25.9 million, or 10.0%; West - $52.2 million, or 20.2%; and Florida - $30.4 million, or 11.7%.

Net Income. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $196.1 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 1.6%, from $199.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily attributed to overall lower homes closed and lower home sales revenues, partially offset by
