Beazer Homes Reports Strong Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021.

“We had an extraordinary second quarter, driven by strong operational execution and continued strength in the housing market,” said Allan P. Merrill, the company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We generated significant growth in sales pace, average sales price, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA, leading to a doubling in our quarterly net income versus last year. At the same time, we improved our balance sheet efficiency by increasing our share of lots controlled by options while continuing to reduce leverage.”

Commenting on fiscal 2021 full-year expectations, Mr. Merrill said, “With evidence of continued strength in new home demand and the enhanced visibility provided by a backlog that is up more than 50% in dollar value compared to last year, we now expect fiscal 2021 earnings per share to be above $3.00.”

Looking beyond fiscal 2021, Mr. Merrill concluded, “Our balanced growth strategy and commitment to expanding our already robust ESG program, has positioned us to generate further improvements in profitability and returns for shareholders in the years ahead, while creating durable and growing value for our customers, employees and partners as well.”

Beazer Homes Fiscal Second Quarter 2021 Highlights and Comparison to Fiscal Second Quarter 2020

  • Net income from continuing operations of $24.6 million, compared to net income from continuing operations of $10.6 million in fiscal second quarter 2020
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $64.2 million, up 46.2%
  • Homebuilding revenue of $547.4 million, up 12.2% on a 3.2% increase in average selling price to $394.4 thousand and an 8.7% increase in home closings to 1,388
  • Homebuilding gross margin was 17.8%, up 170 basis points. Excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest, homebuilding gross margin was 22.2%, up 140 basis points
  • SG&A as a percentage of total revenue was 11.0%, down 100 basis points year-over-year
  • Net new orders of 1,854, up 11.6% on a 42.3% increase in orders/community/month to 4.7 and a 21.6% decrease in average community count to 131
  • Dollar value of backlog of $1,386.4 million, up 54.9%
  • Unrestricted cash at quarter end was $355.5 million; total liquidity was $605.5 million

The following provides additional details on the Company's performance during the fiscal second quarter 2021:

Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $24.6 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $0.81. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $64.2 million was up $20.3 million year-over-year. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by higher revenue, homebuilding gross margin and improved SG&A leverage.

Orders. Net new orders for the second quarter increased to 1,854, up 11.6% from the prior year, achieving the highest second quarter and the highest first half of the year level in more than a decade. The increase in net new orders was driven by a 42.3% increase in the absorption rate to 4.7 sales per community per month, up from 3.3 in the previous year, partially offset by a 21.6% decrease in average community count to 131. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 10.0%, an improvement of 580 basis points year-over-year.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of March 31, 2021 increased 54.9% to $1,386.4 million, representing 3,303 homes, compared to $895.0 million, representing 2,231 homes, at the same time last year. The average selling price of homes in backlog was $419.7 thousand, up 4.6% year-over-year.

Homebuilding Revenue. Second quarter homebuilding revenue was $547.4 million, up 12.2% year-over-year. The increase in homebuilding revenue was driven by an 8.7% increase in home closings to 1,388 homes and a 3.2% increase in the average selling price to $394.4 thousand.

Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin (excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest) was 22.2% for the second quarter, up 140 basis points year-over-year, driven primarily by lower sales incentives and pricing increases. Gross margin was up across each of our geographic segments.

SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 11.0% for the quarter, down 100 basis points year-over-year as a result of the Company's continued focus on overhead cost management while driving revenue growth.

Liquidity. At the close of the second quarter, the Company had approximately $605.5 million of available liquidity, including $355.5 million of unrestricted cash and a fully undrawn revolving credit facility capacity of $250.0 million.

Debt Repurchases. The Company repurchased $9.7 million of its outstanding 5.875% unsecured Senior Notes due October 2027 at an average price of $104.792 per $100 principal amount.

Commitment to Net Zero Energy Ready

In April 2021, we received the 2021 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy for the sixth consecutive year. The Sustained Excellence Award represents the highest honor bestowed under the ENERGY STAR® program and underscores our commitment to improve energy efficiency. As described in our most recent proxy statement, in December 2020 we became the first national builder to publicly commit to ensuring every home we build is Net Zero Energy Ready by the end of 2025. We calculate the energy performance of our homes using the industry standard Home Energy Rating System (HERS), which measures energy efficiency on an easy to understand scale: the lower the number, the more energy efficient the home. Net Zero Energy Ready means that every home we build will have a gross HERS index score (before any benefit of renewable energy production) of 45 or less, and homeowners will be able to achieve net zero energy by attaching a properly sized renewable energy system. Reaching our Net Zero Energy Ready target represents a significant improvement in energy efficiency and will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things: (i) the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and a potential deterioration in homebuilding industry conditions; (ii) economic changes nationally or in local markets, changes in consumer confidence, wage levels, declines in employment levels, inflation and governmental actions that are out of our control and affect the affordability of and demand for, the homes we sell; (iii) the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, in addition to exacerbating each of the risks listed above and below, may include a significant decrease in demand for our homes or consumer confidence generally with respect to purchasing a home, an inability to sell and build homes in a typical manner or at all, increased costs or decreased supply of building materials, including lumber, or the availability of subcontractors, housing inspectors, and other third-parties we rely on to support our operations, and recognizing charges in future periods, which may be material, for goodwill impairments, inventory impairments and/or land option contract abandonments; (iv) shortages of or increased prices for labor, land or raw materials used in housing production, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by our subcontractors; (v) the availability and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our inventory, such as asset impairment charges we took on select California assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2019; (vi) factors affecting margins, such as decreased land values underlying land option agreements, increased land development costs in communities under development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce our production and overhead cost structure; (vii) our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital, due to factors such as limitations in the capital markets (including market volatility) or adverse credit market conditions, and our ability to otherwise meet our ongoing liquidity needs (which could cause us to fail to meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under our various debt instruments and therefore trigger an acceleration of a significant portion or all of our outstanding debt obligations), including the impact of any downgrades of our credit ratings or reduction in our liquidity levels; (viii) market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital); (ix) terrorist acts, protests and civil unrest, political uncertainty, natural disasters, acts of war or other factors over which the Company has little or no control; (x) estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog) are imprecise, as they are subject to various cancellation risks that cannot be fully controlled; (xi) increases in mortgage interest rates, increased disruption in the availability of mortgage financing, changes in tax laws or otherwise regarding the deductibility of mortgage interest expenses and real estate taxes or an increased number of foreclosures; (xii) increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design; (xiii) natural disasters or other related events that could result in delays in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease demand in the impacted areas; (xiv) the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets; (xv) increases in corporate tax rates; (xvi) potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or governmental policies, including those related to the environment; (xvii) the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations; (xviii) the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims; (xix) the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds, as well as the sufficiency of these instruments to cover potential losses incurred; (xx) the impact of information technology failures, cybersecurity issues or data security breaches; or (xxi) the impact on homebuilding in key markets of governmental regulations limiting the availability of water.

Any forward-looking statement, including any statement expressing confidence regarding future outcomes, speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin before impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales to homebuilding gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that this information assists investors in comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective level of impairments and level of debt.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to total company net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position, and level of impairments. These EBITDA measures should not be considered alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.
