Exhibit 99.1   CONTACT: Mackenzie Aron Vice President, Investor Relations (407) 906-6262 investor@taylormorrison.com Taylor Morrison Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., February  11, 2026 —Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC), a leading national land developer and homebuilder, announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. For the fourth quarter, reported net income was $174 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, while adjusted net income was $188 million, or $1.91 per diluted share. For the full year, reported net income was $783 million, or $7.77 per diluted share, while adjusted net income was $830 million, or $8.24 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2025 highlights:     •   Home closings revenue of $1.96 billion     •   3,285 closings at an average sales price of $596,000     •   Home closings gross margin of 21.8%     •   SG&A ratio of 9.9% of home closings revenue     •   Net sales orders of 2,499     •   78,835 homebuilding lots owned and controlled     •   54% controlled off balance sheet Full year 2025 highlights:     •   Home closings revenue of $7.76 billion     •   12,997 closings at an average sales price of $597,000     •   Home closings gross margin of 22.5% and adjusted home closings gross margin of 23.0%     •   SG&A ratio of 9.5% of home closings revenue, down 40 basis points year over year     •   Net sales orders of 11,074     •   Total homebuilding land spend of $2.2 billion     •   Repurchased 6.5 million common shares for $381 million     •   Total liquidity of $1.8 billion “We are pleased to report strong fourth quarter results that met or exceeded our expectations across nearly all key operational metrics, despite continued challenging market conditions. These results concluded a solid year of performance in 2025, during which we delivered nearly 13,000 homes at an adjusted home closings gross margin of 23.0% and generated 40 basis points of SG&A expense leverage on essentially flat home closings revenue. Coupled with $381 million of share repurchases, these results drove a 13% return on equity and 14% growth in our book value per share. Our resilient performance reflects the strength of our diversified geographic and consumer portfolio and our disciplined focus on strategically balancing pace and price across our portfolio of well-located communities,” said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO.   Palmer continued, “Supported by strength in our resort lifestyle segment, our fourth quarter monthly absorption pace was stable sequentially at 2.4 net orders per community, defying the average high-single digit moderation we have historically experienced. This positive momentum continued into January, and we are cautiously encouraged by the early activity we are seeing as the spring selling season generally kicks off in full force this week. More so than any other factor, I believe consumer confidence will be the most important determinant of further demand recovery.” “We pride ourselves on developing thoughtfully-designed communities in prime locations, often with amenities, and offering a balanced mix of spec and to-be-built home offerings that meet the needs and aspirations of our customers. As we head into 2026, I expect these competitive strengths—our diversification, attractive product offerings and consumer-centric philosophy—to be even more critical to our success as we move forward. With competitive pricing pressures unlikely to meaningfully abate in the foreseeable future and housing fundamentals continuing to evolve, we are taking proactive steps to ensure our portfolio remains well positioned to perform regardless of the market backdrop. These steps include limiting future investments in non-core submarkets while refocusing on our core first-and-second move-up segment, leaning further into the opportunity to expand our differentiated Esplanade resort lifestyle brand and doubling down on innovation across our organization.” Business Outlook The Company is providing the following guidance for the first quarter and full year 2026:        First Quarter 2026    Full Year 2026 Ending Community Count    Around 360    Between 365 to 370 Home Closings    Approximately 2,200    Approximately 11,000 Average Closing Price    Approximately $580,000    Between $580,000 to $590,000 Home Closings Gross Margin 1 (excluding any inventory-related charges)    Approximately 20%    Not provided SG&A as a Percentage of Home Closings Revenue    Not provided    Mid-10% range Effective Tax Rate    23.0% to 23.5%    Approximately 25.0% Average Diluted Share Count    Approximately 98 million    Approximately 95 million Homebuilding Land Investment    Not provided    Approximately $2 billion Share Repurchases    Not provided    Approximately $400 million   (1) A reconciliation of our forward-looking adjusted home closings gross margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.   Fourth Quarter Business Highlights All comparisons are of the current quarter to the prior-year quarter, unless indicated. Homebuilding     •   Home closings revenue decreased 10% to $1.96 billion, driven by an 8% decline in closings volume to 3,285 homes and a 2% decrease in average closing price to $596,000.     •   Home closings gross margin was 21.8% on a reported basis in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2025, home closings gross margin was 22.5% on a reported basis and 23.0% adjusted for inventory impairment and certain warranty charges.     •   Net sales orders decreased 5% to 2,499. This was driven by a decline in the monthly absorption pace to 2.4 from 2.6 a year ago, which was partially offset by a 1% increase in ending community count to 341 outlets.     •   As a percentage of beginning backlog, cancellations equaled 9.9%, up from 7.0% a year ago. As a percentage of gross orders, cancellations equaled 12.5%, down from 13.1% a year ago.     •   SG&A as a percentage of home closings revenue increased to 9.9% in the fourth quarter from 9.4% a year ago, as a reduction in selling, general and administration expenses was partially offset by lower home closings volume.     •   Backlog at quarter end was 2,819 homes with a sales value of $1.9 billion. Backlog customer deposits averaged approximately $44,000 per home. Land Portfolio     •   Homebuilding land investment totaled $550 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, inclusive of $213 million for land development, as compared to $590 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, inclusive of $297 million for land development. For the full year, homebuilding land investment totaled approximately $2.2 billion in 2025 as compared to $2.4 billion in 2024.     •   Homebuilding lot supply was 78,835 homesites, of which 54% was controlled off balance sheet. This compared to total homesites of 86,153 at the end of 2024, of which 57% was controlled.     •   Based on trailing twelve-month home closings, total homebuilding lots represented 6.1 years of supply, of which 2.8 years was owned. This compared to 6.6 years of supply and 2.8 years owned at the end of 2024. Financial Services     •   The mortgage capture rate was 88%, down slightly from 89% a year ago.     •   Borrowers had an average credit score of 750 and average debt-to-income ratio of 40%. Balance Sheet     •   At quarter end, total liquidity was approximately $1.8 billion, including $928 million of total available capacity on the Company’s revolving credit facility.     •   The gross homebuilding debt-to-capital ratio was 26.0%. Including $850 million of unrestricted cash on hand, the net homebuilding debt-to-capital ratio was 17.8%.     •   The Company repurchased 1.2 million shares for $71 million in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2025, it repurchased a total of 6.5 million shares for $381 million, which represented approximately 6% of its diluted share count at the beginning of the year. Since 2021, the Company has repurchased a total of approximately 39 million shares for $1.5 billion, representing approximately 34% of its shares outstanding.   Board of Directors Extends and Increases Stock Repurchase Program Taylor Morrison announced today that its Board of Directors has increased the amount available for future repurchases under its stock repurchase program to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock.

in the United States (“GAAP”), we provide our investors with supplemental information relating to: (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) adjusted home closings gross margin, (iv) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (v) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio. Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the net income/(loss) available to the Company excluding, to the extent applicable in a given period, the impact of real estate and inventory impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, unique and unusual warranty charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net, and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business and in the case of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, the tax impact due to such items. Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as GAAP home closings gross margin (which is inclusive of capitalized interest), excluding inventory impairment charges and unique and unusual warranty charges. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude, as applicable, interest expense/(income), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income tax provisions, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), non-cash compensation expense, if any, real estate and inventory impairment charges, impairment of investments in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, unique and unusual warranty charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business, in each case, as applicable in a given period. Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, plus unamortized debt issuance cost/(premium), net, and less mortgage warehouse facilities borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (“net homebuilding debt”), by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders’ equity). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our segments, and to set targets for performance-based compensation. We also use the net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio as an indicator of overall financial leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry. In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors. We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metrics assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. Because we use the net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason. We believe that adjusted home closings gross margin is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the varying effects of items or transactions we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours. A reconciliation of (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) adjusted home closings gross margin, (iv) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (v) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio to the comparable GAAP measures is presented below. For purposes of our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, such measures have been recast to include certain adjustments being presented in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 that were previously deemed immaterial in the prior period.   Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share        Three
