 operating loss for the second quarter of 2024 includes $21.5 million of mark-to-market losses on our publicly traded technology investments and a $46.5 million one-time gain on the sale of a technology investment.

In the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, we had tax provisions of $160.1 million and $300.5 million, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 25.1% and 23.9%, respectively. For both periods, our effective income tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits. The increase in the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2025 from the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in solar tax credits.

Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus Six Months Ended May 31, 2024 

Revenues from home sales were $15.0 billion and $15.3 billion in the six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenues were flat primarily because of a 4% increase in the number of home deliveries, which was offset by a 5% decrease in average sales price of home deliveries. New home deliveries increased to 37,965 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2025 from 36,488 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2024. The average sales price of homes delivered was $398,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2025, compared to $420,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2024. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the six months ended May 31, 2025 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to continued weakness in the market.

Gross margins on home sales were $2.7 billion, or 18.2% (18.4% excluding purchase accounting), in the six months ended May 31, 2025, compared to $3.4 billion, or 22.2%, in the six months ended May 31, 2024. During the six months ended May 31, 2025, gross margins decreased due to an increase in land costs year over year, as well as a decrease in revenue per square foot, which was partially offset by a decrease in construction costs as we continue to focus on construction cost savings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.3 billion
