As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.7% in the six months ended May 31, 2025, from 7.8% in the six months ended May 31, 2024, primarily due to less leverage as a result of lower revenues and an increase in marketing and selling expenses.

Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $299.5 million in the six months ended May 31, 2025, compared to $276.9 million in the six months ended May 31, 2024.
