Beazer Homes Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal 2021 Results

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

“We had a very successful fiscal year, 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 full year net income that was more than double the prior year. We also significantly grew our total active lot position and reduced leverage.”

Commenting on market conditions and fiscal 2022 full-year expectations, Mr. Merrill said, “The new home market continues to be characterized by strong demand and limited supply, supported by growth in both employment and household income. While affordability and supply chain challenges are expected to persist, we believe our strong backlog and operational momentum will allow us to generate earnings per share above $5.00. We also expect further growth in our active lot position and to achieve our multi-year goal of reducing total debt below $1 billion.”

Looking further out, Mr. Merrill concluded, “We believe we are positioned to continue growing book value and return on capital while expanding our ESG activities to create durable value for all of our stakeholders.”

The following provides additional details on the Company’s performance during the fiscal fourth quarter 2021:

Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $48.4 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $1.57. This included the impact of energy efficiency tax credits of $12.0 million, a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.4 million and inventory abandonments of $0.2 million. Operating income of $46.9 million increased by $11.3 million, or 31.7%, compared to $35.6 million in the previous year primarily driven by increased homebuilding gross margin and improved SG&A leverage. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $76.1 million was down $1.0 million compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by lower home closings, partially offset by an increase in homebuilding gross margin.

Orders. Net new orders for the fourth quarter decreased to 1,069, down 46.8% from the prior year. The decrease in net new orders was driven by a 21.6% decrease in average community count to 119 and a 32.1% decrease in sales pace to 3.0 orders per community per month, down from 4.4 in the previous year which was the highest fourth quarter level in more than a decade. The reduction in sales pace is partially driven by our actions to moderate sales to better align with our production capacity given ongoing supply chain and labor pressures. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 11.7%, down 50 basis points from the previous year.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of September 30, 2021 increased 29.0% to $1,284.0 million, or 2,786 homes, compared to $995.3 million, or 2,509 homes, at the same time last year. The average selling price of homes in backlog was $460.9 thousand, up 16.2% year-over-year.

Homebuilding Revenue. Fourth quarter homebuilding revenue was $589.1 million, down 13.2% year-over-year. The decline in homebuilding revenue was primarily driven by a 19.0% decrease in home closings to 1,407 homes as a result of longer construction cycle times due to supply chain disruptions.

Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin (excluding impairments, abandonments, and amortized interest) was 23.2% for the fourth quarter, up 150 basis points year-over-year, driven primarily by pricing increases and lower sales incentives.

SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 11.0% for the quarter, down 10 basis points year-over-year. SG&A on an absolute dollar basis was down 14.5%.

Land Position. Controlled lots increased 23.3% to 21,987, compared to 17,830 from the prior year. Excluding land held for future development and land held for sale lots, active controlled lots was 21,422, up 26.7% year-over-year. Through the expansion of lot option agreements, 46.6% of total active lots, or 9,992 lots, were under contract compared to 34.8% of total active lots, or 5,878 lots, as of September 30, 2020.

Liquidity. At the close of the fourth quarter, the Company had $496.7 million of available liquidity, including $246.7 million of unrestricted cash and a fully undrawn revolving credit facility capacity of $250.0 million.

Debt Repurchases. During the quarter, the Company reduced debt by $57.0 million, which consisted of a $50.0 million repayment of its Senior Unsecured Term Loan and $7.0 million of repurchases of the Company's 5.875% Unsecured Senior Notes due October 2027 at an average price of $104.96 per $100 principal amount.

Commitment to Energy Efficiency

In December 2020, Beazer became the first national builder to publicly commit to ensuring that by the end of 2025 every home the Company builds will be Net Zero Energy Ready. Net Zero Energy Ready means that each home 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 consumption by attaching a properly sized renewable energy system.

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, each of which is outside our control and affects the affordability of, and demand for, the homes we sell; (iii) potential negative impacts 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) supply chain challenges negatively impacting our homebuilding production, including shortages of raw materials and other critical components such as windows, doors, and appliances; (v) shortages of or increased costs for labor used in housing production, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by such labor; (vi) 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; (vii) 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; (viii) 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; (ix) market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital); (x) terrorist acts, protests and civil unrest, political uncertainty, natural disasters, acts of war or other factors over which the Company has no control; (xi) inaccurate estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog), as they are subject to various cancellation risks that cannot be fully controlled; (xii) 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; (xiii) increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design; (xiv) 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; (xv) the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets; (xvi) increases in corporate tax rates; (xvii) 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; (xviii) the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations; (xix) the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims; (xx) the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds, as well as the sufficiency of these instruments to cover potential losses incurred; (xxi) the impact of information technology failures, cybersecurity issues or data security breaches; (xxii) the impact of governmental regulations on homebuilding in key markets, such as regulations limiting the availability of water; and (xxiii) the success of our ESG initiatives, including our ability to meet our goal that every home we build will be Net Zero Energy Ready by 2025 as well as the success of any other related partnerships or pilot programs we may enter into in order to increase the energy efficiency of our homes and prepare for a Net Zero future.

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin excluding 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. These measures should not be considered alternatives to homebuilding gross profit and gross margin determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.

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.
