Beazer Homes fourth-quarter loss widens
ATLANTA — Beazer Homes’ loss widened in its fiscal fourth quarter as the homebuilder dealt with a large loss on debt extinguishment. Orders of new homes increased, total home closings rose and its quarterly revenue topped analysts’ expectations.
The housing market is showing signs of a sustained recovery. Last week a measure of U.S. home prices reported by real estate data provider CoreLogic climbed the most in six years. And low interest ratings are making it attractive for those that can afford purchases.
For the three months that ended Sept. 30, Beazer lost $66.2 million, or $2.82 per share. A year earlier the Atlanta company lost $43.2 million, or $2.91 per share. The per share amounts reflect for a 1-for-5 reverse stock split.
