  • Pre-tax income was $649.8 million, compared to $430.6 million in FY 2023’s second quarter.
  • Home sales revenues were $2.65 billion, up 6% compared to FY 2023’s second quarter; delivered homes were 2,641, also up 6%.
  • Net signed contract value was $2.94 billion, up 29% compared to FY 2023’s second quarter; contracted homes were 3,041, up 30%.
  • Backlog value was $7.38 billion at second quarter end, down 12% compared to FY 2023’s second quarter; homes in backlog were 7,093, down 6%.
  • Home sales gross margin was 25.8%, compared to FY 2023’s second quarter home sales gross margin of 26.4%.
  • Adjusted home sales gross margin, which excludes interest and inventory write-downs, was 28.2%, compared to FY 2023’s second quarter adjusted home sales gross margin of 28.3%.
  • SG&A, as a percentage of home sales revenues, was 9.0%, compared to 9.1% in FY 2023’s second quarter.
  • Income from operations was $623.5 million.
  • Other income, income from unconsolidated entities, and gross margin from land sales and other was $203.7 million, which includes $175.2 million from the land sale referred to above.

Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “We are very pleased with our second quarter results. We delivered 2,641 homes at an average price of $1.0 million, generating home sales revenues of $2.65 billion, a 6% increase compared to last year’s second quarter. Our adjusted gross margin was 28.2%, 60 basis points better than guidance, and our SG&A expense, as a percentage of home sales revenues was 9.0%, 70 basis points better than guidance. These strong home building results, together with a previously disclosed $175 million pre-tax land sale gain, contributed to record second quarter earnings of $4.55 per diluted share, up 60% compared to last year. In addition, we signed 3,041 net contracts for $2.9 billion in the quarter, up 30% in units and 29% in dollars compared to the second quarter of 2023. Based on these outstanding results, and with continued solid demand as we start our third quarter, we are increasing our full year revenue and earnings guidance. We now expect to earn approximately $14.00 per diluted share in fiscal 2024 with a return on beginning equity of approximately 22%.

“Demand for new homes continues to be driven by a resilient economy, favorable demographics and a lack of supply that reflects both the chronic underproduction of housing in the U.S. and the historically low levels of resale inventory caused by the lock-in effect of higher rates. Our strategy of widening our price points to include more affordable luxury homes and increasing our supply of spec homes has helped us grow market share. It also enables us to reduce cycle times, improve inventory turns and leverage our fixed costs, driving revenue growth and higher operating margins. With these strategies firmly in place and producing results, and with our more capital efficient land strategy, we are confident that we can continue to generate attractive returns well into the future.

“We have a healthy balance sheet with low net debt and ample liquidity, and we continue to generate significant operating cash flows. In the second quarter, we repurchased $181 million of common stock and increased our quarterly dividend by 10%. Our solid financial position, more efficient operations and strong cash flow generation should allow us to continue investing in growth while also returning cash to stockholders.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

This press release contains, and Company management’s discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company’s adjusted home sales gross margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio.

These four measures are non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies in the home building business.

The Company’s management considers these non-GAAP financial measures as we make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance, including against other home builders that may use similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in understanding our operations and leverage and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other home builders to the extent they provide similar information.

Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted home sales gross margin is calculated as (i) home sales gross margin plus interest recognized in home sales cost of revenues plus inventory write-downs recognized in home sales cost of revenues divided by (ii) home sales revenues.

Adjusted home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues 28.2%  28.3%  28.5%  28.0%
  

The Company’s management believes adjusted home sales gross margin is a useful financial measure to investors because it allows them to evaluate the performance of our home building operations without the often varying effects of capitalized interest costs and inventory impairments. The use of adjusted home sales gross margin also assists the Company’s management in assessing the profitability of our home building operations and making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix.

Forward-looking Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin
The Company has not provided projected third quarter and full FY 2024 home sales gross margin or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking adjusted home sales gross margin because such measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis, since inventory write-downs are based on future activity and observation and therefore cannot be projected for the third quarter and full FY 2024. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our third quarter and full FY 2024 home sales gross margin.

Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation
The following table reconciles the Company’s net income and earnings per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure).

Net Debt-to-Capital Ratio
The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt to capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure). The net debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as (i) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents plus stockholders’ equity.

The Company’s management uses the net debt-to-capital ratio as an indicator of its overall leverage and believes it is a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
