FINANCIAL GUIDANCE(2):
The Company is providing guidance for total revenues, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, adjusted income before income taxes and adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Financial guidance below assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions, including deterioration in our supply chain or material increases in mortgage rates, inflation or cancellation rates, and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $176.04 on October 31, 2024.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, total revenues are expected to be between $650 million and $750 million, adjusted homebuilding gross margin is expected to be between 17.5% and 18.5%, adjusted income before income taxes is expected to be between $25 million and $35 million and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $55 million and $65 million.
(2)The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.
COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:
“We are pleased that our total full year contracts of 6,007 homes and deliveries of 6,151 homes increased by 16% and 12% respectively year over year, which resulted in better-than-expected adjusted income before income taxes and adjusted EBITDA,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The 48% increase in total fourth quarter contracts followed by the 55% increase in November demonstrates that consumer demand remains strong despite high mortgage rates and geopolitical and economic uncertainty, which persisted throughout this period. We adjusted our balance of pace versus price during the quarter. To spur consumers to action and to help them qualify for mortgages, we offered additional incentives, particularly in the West. Although these contracts are at lower margins, this is a conscious effort and we are very pleased with the tradeoff of pace for margin given our focus on inventory turns, EBIT ROI and quick move in homes.”
“After several years of focusing on debt reduction, we shifted our focus in fiscal 2024 to a strategy with growth as the focal point. As evidence of our commitment to growth, during fiscal 2024, our land and land development spend increased 47% year over year, lot count grew 32% year over year and community count increased 14% year over year. The housing market continues to be driven by positive fundamentals. Given the growth in our lot count, community count and land and land development spend, we think we are well positioned to drive delivery growth in excess of 10% on an annual basis over the next few years and to continue to deliver top-tier industry returns to our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.
