Jul. 29, 2021

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 29, 2021--Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

"We had a very successful third 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 gains in operating margin and adjusted EBITDA, leading to quarterly net income that was more than double the same period last year. At the same time, we grew our total active lot position while continuing to reduce leverage."

Commenting on fiscal 2021 full-year expectations, Mr. Merrill said, "With our outstanding performance in the third quarter and our confidence in fourth quarter results, we now expect fiscal 2021 earnings per share to be above $3.25."

Looking at fiscal 2022, Mr. Merrill concluded, "We are positioned to generate double-digit growth in earnings per share for shareholders while expanding our ESG activities to create durable value for all of our stakeholders."

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

* Net income from continuing operations of $37.1 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $15.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in fiscal third quarter 2020 * Adjusted EBITDA of $78.8 million, up 45.9% * Homebuilding revenue of $566.9 million, up 6.5% on a 5.5% increase in average selling price to $411.4 thousand and a 0.9% increase in home closings to 1,378 * Homebuilding gross margin was 20.2%, up 320 basis points. Excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest, homebuilding gross margin was 24.2%, up 300 basis points * SG&A as a percentage of total revenue was 11.1%, down 60 basis points year-over-year * Net new orders of 1,199, down 12.6% on a 18.6% increase in orders/community/month to 3.2 and a 26.3% decrease in average community count to 123 * Dollar value of backlog of $1,354.6 million, up 53.1% * Unrestricted cash at quarter end was $358.3 million; total liquidity was $608.3 million

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

Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $37.1 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $1.22. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $78.8 million was up $24.8 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 third quarter decreased to 1,199, down 12.6% from the prior year. The decrease in net new orders was driven by a 26.3% decrease in average community count to 123, partially offset by a 18.6% increase in sales pace to 3.2 orders per community per month, up from 2.7 in the previous year. In a number of communities, we proactively limited sales pace to align with the pace of production, optimize margins and ensure a positive customer experience. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 10.9%, an improvement of 1,020 basis points year-over-year.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of June 30, 2021 increased 53.1% to $1,354.6 million, representing 3,124 homes, compared to $884.9 million, representing 2,237 homes, at the same time last year. The average selling price of homes in backlog was $433.6 thousand, up 9.6% year-over-year.

Homebuilding Revenue. Third quarter homebuilding revenue was $566.9 million, up 6.5% year-over-year. The increase in homebuilding revenue was driven by a 5.5% increase in the average selling price to $411.4 thousand and a 0.9% increase in home closings to 1,378 homes.

Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin (excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest) was 24.2% for the third quarter, up 300 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 11.1% for the quarter, down 60 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 third quarter, the Company had approximately $608.3 million of available liquidity, including $358.3 million of unrestricted cash and a fully undrawn revolving credit facility capacity of $250.0 million.

Debt Repurchases. The Company repurchased $14.0 million of its outstanding 5.875% unsecured Senior Notes due October 2027 at an average price of $106.545 per $100 principal amount.

Commitment to Net Zero Energy Ready

Reflecting our continued leadership and commitment to energy efficiency, during the quarter, Brian Shanks, Beazer's Manager of National Accounts and Governmental Affairs, was named to the International Code Council (ICC) Residential Energy Code Consensus Committee created to lead development of future energy codes. The new committee will begin work this summer on developing the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).

In December 2020, Beazer became the first national builder to publicly commit to ensuring that by the end of 2025 every home we build will be Net Zero Energy Ready. Net Zero Energy Ready means that each home will have a gross HERS(r) index score (before any benefit of renewable energy production) of 45 or less, and homeowners will be able to achieve net zero energy consumption by attaching a properly sized renewable energy system.
