By The Associated Press
Posted 4:15PM on Thursday 1st August 2024 ( 1 month ago )

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 1, 2024--

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) ( www.beazer.com ) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024.

“Despite an affordability challenged new home sales environment and shifting consumer sentiment, we generated healthy results and continued to make progress towards our multi-year goals,” said Allan P. Merrill, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue growth and cost control led to $53.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA and $0.88 of earnings per diluted share. We also repurchased approximately 450,000 shares of our common stock.”

Speaking to the Company’s multi-year goals, Mr. Merrill continued, “During the quarter we significantly increased our controlled lot position - primarily through options - providing clear visibility into our community count growth. Additionally, related to our Zero Energy Ready pledge, over 90% of our quarterly starts met this standard, and we reached the milestone of having certified more Zero Energy Ready homes to the DOE's Single Family National Program requirements than any builder in the country.”

Looking further out, Mr. Merrill concluded, "We're optimistic about the long-term prospects for the new home industry and Beazer in particular. With our experienced operating team, ample lot supply, healthy balance sheet, and industry-leading energy efficient homes, we're well-positioned to drive sustainable value for our shareholders in the years ahead.”

Beazer Homes Fiscal Third Quarter 2024 Highlights and Comparison to Fiscal Third Quarter 2023

The following provides additional details on the Company's performance during the fiscal third quarter 2024:

Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $27.2 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $0.88. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $53.5 million was down $19.3 million, or 26.5%, primarily due to lower operating margin.

Orders. Net new orders for the third quarter decreased to 1,070, down 10.8% from 1,200 in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by a 23.9% decrease in sales pace to 2.4 orders per community per month, down from 3.2 in the prior year quarter, partially offset by a 17.2% increase in average community count to 146 from 124 a year ago. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 18.6%, up from 16.1% in the prior year quarter.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of June 30, 2024 was $1.05 billion, representing 1,949 homes, compared to $1.01 billion, representing 1,941 homes, at the same time last year. The ASP of homes in backlog was $536.9 thousand, up 3.2% versus the prior year quarter.

Homebuilding Revenue. Third quarter homebuilding revenue was $589.6 million, up 3.3% year-over-year. The increase in homebuilding revenue was driven by a 4.5% increase in home closings to 1,167 homes, partially offset by a 1.1% decrease in the ASP to $505.3 thousand. The increase in closings was primarily due to higher beginning backlog as well as improved construction cycle times.

Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin (excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest) was 20.3% for the third quarter, down from 23.4% in the prior year quarter as a result of increased share of speculative home closings which generally have lower margins than "to be built" homes, changes in product and community mix, and an increase in closing cost incentives.

SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 11.9% for the quarter, up 40 basis points year-over-year primarily due to higher commissions expense and higher sales and marketing costs as the Company prepares for new community activations.

Land Position. For the current fiscal quarter, land acquisition and land development spending was $201.1 million, up 52.7% year-over-year. Controlled lots increased 24.9% to 28,365, compared to 22,719 from the prior year quarter. Excluding land held for future development and land held for sale lots, active lots controlled were 27,822, up 26.1% year-over-year. As of June 30, 2024, the Company controlled 55.5% of its total active lots through option agreements compared to 52.2% as of June 30, 2023.

Share Repurchases. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $12.9 million of its outstanding common stock through open market transactions at an average price per share of $28.41.

Liquidity. At the close of the third quarter, the Company had $328.2 million of available liquidity, including $73.2 million of unrestricted cash and $255.0 million of remaining capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility, compared to total available liquidity of $541.1 million a year ago.

Michael Dunn Appointed as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary

The Company also today announced that Michael Dunn has been appointed to serve as the Company’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, in addition to his role as the Company’s Compliance Officer. Mr. Dunn is replacing Keith L. Belknap, who will be retiring from the Company on September 30, 2024. In connection with his retirement, Mr. Belknap stepped down from his role as the Company’s Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, effective as of July 31, 2024.

“Mike’s deep expertise across all legal matters at Beazer has been invaluable, and I am pleased to formally welcome him to the senior leadership team,” said Allan P. Merrill, Beazer’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “He is well-qualified for his new responsibilities, and we look forward to his future contributions to the Company.”

Mr. Dunn has served as the Company’s Deputy General Counsel since January 2023. Mr. Dunn previously served as the Company’s Assistant General Counsel from March 2015 to January 2023 and has served as its Compliance Officer since January 2020.

Following his retirement, Mr. Belknap will continue to work with the Company in a consulting capacity to assist in an orderly transition. “We thank Keith for his dedicated service. We have relied on his advice and judgment for the last six years and wish him all the best in his retirement,” said Mr. Merrill.

John J. Kelley III Appointed to Board of Directors

The Company also today announced the appointment of John J. Kelley to the Board of Directors.

“We are pleased to welcome J. as our newest director,” said Norma A. Provencio, Beazer’s Lead Director. “J. has established himself as a seasoned business leader and senior executive with a wealth of expertise in matters of corporate governance, regulatory compliance and strategic execution. In addition, we look to draw on his considerable experience with respect to information technology and security, which makes him an especially valuable addition to our Board.”

Mr. Kelley has served as the Chief Legal Officer of Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX) since 2013, where he is responsible for legal services, compliance, government and legislative relations and corporate governance. Before joining Equifax, Mr. Kelley was a senior partner at King & Spalding LLP in its corporate practice group, where he led a broad range of corporate finance transactions, managed securities matters, and advised corporate clients regarding SEC reporting, disclosure and compliance matters.

Commitment to ESG Initiatives

During the quarter, the Company continued to exhibit leadership and commitment in advancing environmental, social and governance initiatives.

The Company remains dedicated to continually enhancing the energy efficiency of its homes in support of its industry-first pledge that, by the end of 2025, every new home the Company starts will be Zero Energy Ready, which means it will meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Zero Energy Ready Home program. By the end of the third quarter, the Company had Zero Energy Ready homes under construction in every division, consisting of 93% of new home starts. Notably, Beazer Homes has now certified more homes to the DOE's Single Family National Program requirements than any other home builder.

Exhibiting recognition for the Company's commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive and fulfilling workplace culture, Beazer Homes was named to the 2024-2025 U.S. News Best Companies to Work For by U.S. News and World Report. The publication evaluated publicly-traded companies on many aspects of career satisfaction, including work-life balance, opportunities for professional development and advancement, company stability, belonging, and more.

In June, the Company published its 2023 Sustainability Report, which highlights its leadership in building energy-efficient homes and significant progress in advancing ESG. Key achievements include:

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin excluding impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales (each a non-GAAP financial measure) to their most directly comparable GAAP measures 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 non-GAAP financial measures 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.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) 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 core operating results and underlying business trends by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position, level of impairments, and other non-recurring items. This non-GAAP financial measure 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.
