-Diluted Earnings Per Share of $1.36-INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., Feb. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: TPH) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023 and full year 2023.
“2023 proved to be another strong year for Tri Pointe Homes, capped off by a successful fourth quarter, during which we reported home sales revenue of $1.2 billion, homebuilding gross margin percentage of 22.9%, and diluted earnings per share of $1.36,” said Doug Bauer, Tri Pointe Homes Chief Executive Officer. “The strong finish to the year was accompanied by a 143% increase in net new home orders for the quarter, which led to a 40% increase for the full year. We ended the year with 155 active selling communities, which was a 14% increase over the prior year. Based on our strong land pipeline with approximately 32,000 owned or controlled lots, we expect to grow our community count by another 10% by the end of 2025.”
Mr. Bauer continued, “In the fourth quarter of 2023, our industry saw a notable change in mortgage interest rates, peaking above 8% in October, then rapidly decreasing with shifting market sentiment. Order activity subsequently increased as we moved through the quarter and that momentum has continued into 2024, with both January and February off to a strong start.”
“We remain encouraged by the fundamentals of the housing market, including household formations, strong demand from Millennial and Gen-Z buyers, a more normalized supply chain, and shorter cycle times,” stated Tri Pointe Homes President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “These dynamics, along with the lack of resale supply, should continue to support the homebuilding industry, whose market share of total home sales sits at historical highs.”
Mr. Bauer concluded, “As a growth-oriented company, we are focused on growing scale in our existing markets and targeting new markets through organic startups or M&A. Last year, we announced our organic entry into Utah, and we are actively looking for growth in the Southeast by expanding our footprint into the Coastal Carolinas and Florida markets. We believe our strong balance sheet positions us well to return capital to stockholders through share repurchases, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to expand our market scale and tap into new opportunities that fit within our growth strategy.”

(unaudited)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 the Company’s 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 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 tables reconcile homebuilding gross margin percentage, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the non-GAAP financial measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage and non-cash impairments and lot option abandonments, as applicable, have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who may adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

(unaudited)The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the non-GAAP ratio of net debt-to-net capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-net capital is a relevant financial measure for management and investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain financing.

(1) The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing debt by the sum of debt plus equity.
(2) The ratio of net debt-to-net capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus equity.RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
(unaudited)The following table calculates the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income available to common stockholders, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA means net income available to common stockholders before (a) interest expense, (b) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales, (c) income taxes and (d) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before (e) amortization of stock-based compensation and (f) real estate inventory impairments and lot option abandonments. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of the Company’s ability to service debt and obtain financing.
