2019 Second Quarter Highlights (Comparison to 2018 Second Quarter)

• Adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $12.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and net income available to common stockholders of $10.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $22.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted share in the prior year
• Adjusted pre-tax income of $20.5 million, and pre-tax income of $18.3 million; adjustments include:
  • $1.0 million of transaction expenses related to the acquisition of a mortgage company; and
  • $1.2 million of one-time, non-recurring costs associated with staff reductions
• New home deliveries of 1,033 homes, down 5%
• Home sales revenue of $463.5 million, down 11%
• Average sales price (ASP) of new homes delivered of $448,700 versus $479,100
• Homebuilding gross margin percentage of 16.0%
• Net new home orders of 1,261
• Average sales locations of 123, compared to 107
• Units in backlog of 1,423
• Dollar value of homes in backlog of $639.7 million
• SG&A percentage of 11.8%, compared to 11.1%
  • Adjusted SG&A percentage of 11.6%, excluding $1.2 million of one-time, non-recurring costs associated with staff reductions
• Adjusted EBITDA of $37.0 million

“Our results for the second quarter were in-line with our expectations across substantially all of our operational and financial metrics, achieving a backlog conversion rate of 86% which drove new home deliveries of 1,033 homes and home sales revenue of $463.5 million with an ASP of $448,700,” stated Matthew R. Zaist, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our GAAP gross margins were right where we expected them to be, and adjusted pre-tax income for the quarter was $20.5 million, excluding certain one-time expenses associated with our acquisition of a mortgage platform as part of our wholly-owned financial services strategy as well as certain reorganization costs to enhance operational efficiencies in our Southern California operations, both of which we feel will drive long-term improvements in profitability.”

Mr. Zaist continued, “We are encouraged by the evolution of the Spring selling season, as the monthly absorption pace in the second quarter reflected a sequential increase of 10% over the first quarter to a healthy 3.4 sales per community, and with a number of our divisions up year-over-year on total orders and absorption. We are continuing to see strong absorption from the entry-level and the first-time move up buyers, which are experiencing the highest absorptions in the Company, and contributed 86% of our new home deliveries. In addition, we delivered another strong quarter on our spec inventory, selling and closing 39% more homes in the same quarter than we did in the prior year period. Our focus on the entry-level and first-time move-up homebuyers coupled with our modified spec / start strategy has yielded significant improvement in year-over-year backlog conversion and we expect to see the benefits as we move through the balance of the year, allowing for more efficient capital turns which should lead to improved returns and the delevering of our balance sheet.”

Mr. Zaist added, “Following the volatility experienced in the back half of last year, we are pleased to see a majority of our markets stable to improving. While still taking a measured approach to pricing, we have been able to reduce incentives and increase prices in certain markets and anticipate sequential improvement in gross margins in the back half of the year. Our anticipated full year results now include deliveries of 4,300 to 4,500 units and revenues of $2.0 billion to $2.075 billion for 2019.”

Operating Results

Home sales revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $463.5 million, as compared to $518.4 million in the year-ago period, a decrease of 11%. The decrease was driven by a 5% decrease in the number of homes closed in 2019, as compared to the prior year period, as well as a decrease in ASP from $479,100 in the second quarter of 2018, to approximately $448,700 in the 2019 period. The decrease in ASP was based on the change in product mix with a higher concentration of deliveries from the Central Texas division.

Homebuilding gross margin percentage during the second quarter of 2019 was 16.0%. Interest in cost of sales was 4.3% during the quarter, and adjusted gross margin percentage was 20.3%.

Net new home orders for the quarter were 1,261, an increase of 14% sequentially over the first quarter, and a slight decrease from 1,270 in the second quarter of 2018.

Our average community count increased 15% to 123 averages sales location during the second quarter of 2019, compared to 107 during the second quarter of 2018. Overall, our monthly absorption rate for the quarter was 3.4 sales per community, compared to 3.1 sales per community in the 2019 first quarter. During the quarter, our monthly absorption pace was 3.5 in April, 3.1 in May and peaking at 3.6 in June. Our cancellation rate for the second quarter of 2019 was 13%, in-line with the 12% experienced in the second quarter of last year.

Sales and marketing expense during the second quarter of 2019 improved to 5.5% of homebuilding revenue, compared to 5.6% in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to a decrease in advertising and model operations expense during the quarter. General and administrative expenses increased to 6.4% of homebuilding revenue, compared to 5.5% in the year-ago quarter. Adjusting to exclude the one-time personnel reorganization expenses of $1.2 million in the quarter, general and administrative expenses would have been 6.1%. The Company believes that the long-term run-rate of this reorganization will result in approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million of annualized savings.

Pre-tax income was $18.3 million and adjusted pre-tax income was $20.5 million. Provision for income tax was $3.9 million, for an effective tax rate of 21.1%, compared to a provision of $7.8 million, or 22.2%, in the prior year.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $4.0 million during the second quarter, as compared to $4.8 million in the prior year.

Financial Services

The Company announced the formation of ClosingMark Financial Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary under which the Company intends to operate a full suite of financial services offerings, including title agency, settlement and mortgage services, for the Company’s homebuyers and other retail customers. ClosingMark has recently commenced its title agency services in the Central Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada markets, and expects to expand its title and settlement services operations into virtually all of the Company’s homebuilding markets over the course of the next two quarters.

In April 2019, we closed on the acquisition of a mortgage platform, South Pacific Financial Corporation (“SPFC”), which has been rebranded as ClosingMark Home Loans. We anticipate integrating our existing mortgage joint venture operations and loan pipeline into this platform under the ClosingMark brand during the third quarter.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company is reporting a separate financial services segment, to report the operations, assets, and liabilities of the services mentioned above on wholly-owned mortgage operations of ClosingMark Home Loans, our title agency business, as well as our unconsolidated mortgage joint ventures.

During the quarter, our unconsolidated mortgage joint ventures recorded income of $1.4 million, our wholly-owned financial services recorded a loss of $1.2 million, and we incurred transaction expenses related to the acquisition of SPFC of approximately $990,000.

We would expect to benefit from improved financial performance out of the financial services segment for the third quarter and remainder of the year based on operating efficiencies and earnings capture on a wholly-owned basis.

Balance Sheet Update

At quarter end, cash and cash equivalents totaled $35.5 million, owned real estate inventories totaled $2.3 billion, total assets were $2.9 billion and total equity was $1.0 billion. Total debt to book capitalization was 57.9%, and net debt to net book capitalization was 57.3% at June 30, 2019, compared to 56.6% and 55.9% at December 31, 2018, respectively.

Senior Notes Issuance

In June 2019, the Company priced a private placement of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027, which offering closed on July 9, 2019.

The Company is using the proceeds from the 6.625% Senior Notes issuance to redeem $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the $350.0 million of outstanding 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022. The Company intends to repay the remaining outstanding $50.0 million of the 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 with free cash flow as part of its overall deleveraging strategy.

In the third quarter and in conjunction with our refinance of our senior notes, we amended our revolving credit facility to extend the maturity from May 21, 2021 to May 21, 2022.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. It is used by management in evaluating operating performance and in making strategic decisions regarding sales pricing, construction and development pace, product mix and other operating decisions. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on homebuilding gross margin and allows investors to make better comparisons with our competitors.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. It is used by management in evaluating operating performance and in making strategic decisions regarding sales pricing, construction and development pace, product mix and other operating decisions. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on homebuilding gross margin and allows investors to make better comparisons with our competitors.

(1)	Adjusted EBITDA means net income available to common stockholders plus (i) provision for income taxes, (ii) interest expense, (iii) amortization of capitalized interest included in cost of sales, (iv) stock based compensation, (v) depreciation and amortization, (vi) non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, (vii) cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (viii) equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures, (ix) transaction expenses, and (x) (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to the Company’s investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because adjusted EBITDA is a widely utilized indicator of a company's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following table:
