PulteGroup Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Oct. 26, 2021

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 2021--PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) announced today financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $476 million, or $1.82 per share. In the prior year, the Company reported net income of $416 million, or $1.54 per share, and adjusted net income of $363 million, or $1.34 per share, which excludes a tax benefit of $53 million resulting from energy tax credits recorded in the period.

"PulteGroup's third quarter financial results reflect the strong demand environment as higher prices across all buyer segments helped drive a year-over-year increase in home sale revenues of 18%, along with a 36% increase in reported earnings per share over last year's adjusted earnings per share," said Ryan Marshall, PulteGroup President and CEO. "Our strong operating results and resulting cash flow also allowed the Company to invest $1.1 billion in land acquisition and development in the quarter, while returning $261 million to our shareholders through share repurchases."

"The housing industry continues to experience robust demand, but significant disruptions in the manufacture and supply of many building products are extending overall build cycles," added Marshall. "We are working closely with our homebuyers and supply partners as we manage through today's challenging conditions."

Third Quarter Results

Home sale revenues for the third quarter increased 18% over the prior year to $3.3 billion. Higher revenues for the period were driven by a 9% increase in closings to 7,007 homes, combined with an 8% increase in the average price of homes closed to $474,000.

The Company's home sale gross margin for the third quarter was 26.5%, which is an increase of 200 basis points over the prior year gross margin of 24.5%. For the third quarter, the Company's homebuilding SG&A expense was $321 million, or 9.6% of home sale revenues. SG&A expense for the prior year period was $271 million, or a comparable 9.6 % of home sale revenues.

Net new orders for the third quarter decreased 17% from the prior year to 6,796 homes. Lower orders for the period were driven primarily by a 14% reduction in community count in combination with Company actions to strategically manage the pace of sales to better align with current production levels. The value of net new orders in the third quarter increased 4% to $3.8 billion. In the third quarter, the Company operated out of an average of 768 communities, which is a decrease of 14% from the prior year average community count of 892.

The Company's unit backlog at the end of the third quarter increased 33% over last year to 19,845 homes. Backlog value at the end of the period was $10.3 billion, which is up 56% over the prior year.

Pre-tax income for the Company's financial services operations was $49 million, down from $64 million last year. For the period, higher loan volumes were offset by a more competitive pricing environment. Mortgage capture rate for the third quarter was 85% compared with 86% last year.

The Company's pre-tax income for the third quarter increased 28% over last year to $620 million. Income tax expense for the Company's third quarter was $145 million, or an effective tax rate of 23.3%. In the prior year, the Company's effective tax rate was 14.0% as the Company realized a tax benefit of $53 million resulting from energy tax credits recognized in the period.

The Company ended the quarter with $1.6 billion of cash after using available funds to repurchase 5.1 million, or 2% of its common shares for $261 million, at an average price of $51.07 per share. At quarter end, the Company had a debt-to-capital ratio of 22.4% and a net debt-to-capital ratio of 5.7%.

A conference call discussing PulteGroup's third quarter 2021 results is scheduled for Tuesday, October 26, 2021, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Interested investors can access the live webcast via PulteGroup's corporate website at www.pultegroupinc.com.

PulteGroup, Inc.Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures(Unaudited)

This report contains information about our operating results reflecting certain adjustments, including net income, diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), and debt-to-capital ratio. These measures are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC's rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measures. We believe that reflecting these adjustments provides investors relevant and useful information for evaluating the comparability of financial information presented and comparing our profitability and liquidity to other companies in the homebuilding industry. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, the methods used may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate these measures and any adjustments thereto before comparing our measures to those of such other companies.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures that management believes to be most directly comparable ($000's omitted, except per share data):
