Legacy Housing 2025 Q2 Earnings Net Income Drops 9.2% Despite Revenue Growth

Legacy Housing (LEGH) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 7, 2025. The company delivered a revenue increase, but net income and EPS both declined year-over-year, signaling margin pressure. Management provided forward-looking guidance in line with current performance while expressing confidence in long-term strategic goals.

Legacy Housing's Q2 2025 results showed a clear divergence between top-line growth and bottom-line performance. While the company surpassed revenue expectations, its earnings fell short of the previous year, primarily due to rising operational costs and supply chain challenges. The reported guidance reflects a cautious stance, with expectations of maintaining current EPS levels and driving revenue beyond the Q2 mark.

Revenue
Driven by robust product sales and consistent interest income, Legacy Housing’s total revenue increased by 18.7% to $49.27 million in Q2 2025, compared to $41.50 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Product sales were a major contributor, reaching $38.39 million, while interest income from Consumer, MHP, and dealer loans added $10.88 million. Additional revenue streams, including non-core income, accounted for $891,000, bringing total net revenue to $50.16 million.

Earnings/Net Income
Legacy Housing’s earnings per share (EPS) declined by 9.0% to $0.61 in Q2 2025, down from $0.67 in the prior year. The company’s net income also fell, decreasing to $14.70 million in the latest quarter from $16.19 million in Q2 2024. Despite the drop, Legacy Housing has maintained profitability for eight consecutive years during the corresponding period, demonstrating its resilience amid challenging market conditions. This performance, however, raises concerns about margin compression and cost pressures.

Price Action
The stock price of Legacy Housing edged down 1.54% during the latest trading day, following a positive 5.41% gain over the previous full trading week. Month-to-date, the share price has gained 1.24%, indicating a mixed short-term investor sentiment.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review
A strategy of buying Legacy Housing shares following a revenue increase in the earnings report and holding for 30 days yielded a 2.25% return over the past three years. However, this underperformed the benchmark return of 52.06%, resulting in an excess return of -49.82% and a CAGR of just 0.76%. While the strategy exhibited a low risk profile—marked by a maximum drawdown of 0.00% and a Sharpe ratio of 0.02—it failed to deliver compelling returns, underscoring the limited market reaction to the earnings surprise.

CEO Commentary
During the 2025 Q2 earnings call, John Carter, CEO of Legacy Housing, highlighted the company’s strong demand in residential housing and its disciplined operational execution. He emphasized strategic expansion in high-growth markets and improved cost management as key areas for future growth. Carter also acknowledged ongoing challenges, including material supply constraints and rising labor costs, which the company is actively working to mitigate. Looking ahead, he expressed confidence in Legacy Housing’s long-term value creation through disciplined capital allocation and market diversification, maintaining a cautiously optimistic outlook.

Guidance
Legacy Housing provided forward-looking guidance aligned with its growth strategy, expecting full-year revenue to exceed $49.27 million and EPS to remain consistent with the Q2 reported level of $0.61. The company plans to maintain prudent capital expenditure, focusing on high-impact projects that support strategic objectives without disclosing specific figures.
