    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 02 ноя 2022 15:05:02   America/Chicago

    Diluted EPS of $1.57, Up 65.3%
    Net Income Attributable to Green Brick Partners of $73.5 Million, Up 51.6%
    Record Home Building Gross Margin Up 550 BPS to 32.4%
    Total Revenues of $407.9 Million, Up 19.2%

    PLANO, Texas, Nov. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or the “Company”) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

    “Green Brick delivered third quarter results that were a record for any third quarter with EPS of $1.57, total revenues of $407.9 million, residential units revenue of $396.7 million, and net income attributable to Green Brick of $73.5 million. We also reported a homebuilding gross margin of 32.4% which is a record for any quarter, and we believe this may be the highest among public builders,” said Jim Brickman, CEO and Co-Founder. “These results reflect our continued focus on operational efficiency as we meet a more challenging market going forward.”

    “Most of our land and lots are in DFW and Atlanta, two of the best larger markets in the country. Our basis is generally lower than our peers, based on our conservative underwriting and our self-developing most of our lots,” continued Mr. Brickman. “Most of our communities are in more supply-constrained infill and other desirable locations. These are all critical factors for our industry leading 32.4% gross margins. Therefore, it should not be surprising that we currently have no communities on a watch list, meaning we have no indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2022. ”

    “Our strong balance sheet with a 28.0% debt-to-total capital ratio and record gross margins gives Green Brick more flexibility than most peers to effectively manage pace versus price decisions going forward. We view the current challenges as a potential opportunity to increase market share,” said Mr. Brickman. “Depending on market conditions, as many peers pull back, we expect to have the opportunity to increase our count of ending active selling communities from September 30, 2022 by 20% to 30% over the next four to five quarters. These new communities with a favorable land/lot basis provide the optionality of pricing aggressively without the overhang of protecting backlog. We believe these new communities will generate favorable sales per community at more traditional gross margins.”

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    The following table represents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted homebuilding gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and reconciles these amounts to homebuilding gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
