INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:TPH) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
“Tri Pointe Homes met or exceeded all guided metrics for the first quarter, leading to home sales revenue of $768 million, and net income available to common stockholders of $75 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.73,” said Doug Bauer, Tri Pointe Homes Chief Executive Officer. “While we are pleased with our ability to deliver strong top and bottom line results for the quarter, we are even more encouraged with our ability to generate new home orders while significantly reducing cancellation rates. Our primary goal for the quarter was to boost net new home order pace and volume in response to the macro conditions that dampened both affordability and buyer sentiment through the back half of 2022. Through the implementation of product repositioning, targeted pricing, and incentive strategies, along with solid execution from our teams, we were able to elevate our first quarter absorption rate to 4.0, which is firmly above our pre-pandemic historical seasonal levels.”
Mr. Bauer concluded, “As the housing market continues to rebound from the interest rate reset that took place in 2022, we continue to believe the supply and demand dynamics are a strong tailwind for the homebuilding industry, particularly during a time where the resale market has softened, and inventory is at historically low levels. Tri Pointe Homes is well positioned to capitalize on current market conditions and continue our growth trajectory. As of March 31, 2023, our balance sheet reflects a record low debt-to-capital ratio for the company, as well as record high liquidity of $1.7 billion, including cash and cash equivalents of $966 million. We feel these factors provide Tri Pointe Homes with continued flexibility and have positioned us for success in 2023 and beyond.”

“Going into this year, our strategic focus was to drive orders, cost reductions, and returns. I am pleased to report that we are experiencing well-diversified demand across all buyer segments and geographic markets,” said Tri Pointe Homes President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “Our operating teams have made solid strides in obtaining lower costs throughout our supply chain with costs down 8% to 10% on average in the first quarter. We acknowledge there are still sticky labor constraints, but we remain committed to pursuing further reductions where possible. Regarding cycle times, our teams have been focused on expanding trade resources, improving the material procurement process, and introducing line or phase building in additional markets. These efforts have resulted in a reduction in our cycle times by more than two weeks on average in the first quarter and we believe further improvements are within reach this year.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(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 table reconciles homebuilding gross margin percentage, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the non-GAAP measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage has on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

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.

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) 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.
