Scottsdale, AZ, August 13, 2013 –Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (the “Company” or “Taylor Morrison”) (NYSE: TMHC) announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

“We are delighted to report improvement in virtually all key operational metrics, adding to more than three years of profitability.   The results we’re releasing today continue to reflect a reward for years of diligence in managing the business during the downturn,” said Sheryl Palmer, President and CEO.  “The quality of our locations and our land development capability drives the strength of our backlog, home revenue and margin growth.  Our team’s conscientious implementation of our strategy and superior execution has allowed us to capitalize on the improvement in the housing market in the first half of 2013.”

Net sales orders increased 26% to 1,596 in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to 1,267 in the second quarter of last year.  Net sales orders in the Company’s U.S. operations increased 33% in the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by a 9% sales order decline in its Canadian operations during the same period. During the quarter, community count increased by 45 % to 172.  The Company’s overall monthly absorption pace was 3.1 net sales orders per community in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 3.6 for the second quarter of 2012.  During the quarter, the Company intentionally limited releases and sales pace in order to manage its growing backlog, production and overall customer expectations while maximizing profitability and efficient use of land assets.

The Company’s sales order backlog value increased 55% to $1.6 billion at June 30, 2013 from $1.0 billion at June 30, 2012, as backlog units increased 35% to 4,127 homes at June 30, 2013 compared with 3,053 homes at June 30, 2012.  The second quarter 2013 cancellation rate, representing cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders, was 12.4 % in the second quarter of 2013, compared to 12.8 % in the second quarter of 2012.
 
 
 

 
 
Home closings revenue totaled $496 million in the second quarter of 2013, benefiting from a 52% increase in homes closed, from 883 in the 2012 quarter to 1,341 during the 2013 quarter.  Adjusted home closings gross margin in the second quarter of 2013, which is adjusted to exclude capitalized interest, improved 120 basis points to 22.8% as compared to the second quarter of 2012.  Home closings gross margin in the second quarter of 2013 improved to 20.5%, compared to 19.4% in the second quarter of 2012.  Home closings gross margin dollars increased 71% to $102 million.

The Company’s mortgage company, Taylor Morrison Home Funding (“TMHF”) and title operations reported a gross margin of $3.1 million for the quarter.  The mortgage capture rate for TMHF for the quarter was 80%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $60.2 million or 12.1% of home closings revenue for the 2013 second quarter compared to $28.6 million or 9.4% of home closings revenue for the second quarter of 2012.  Equity in income of unconsolidated entities, which represents the Company’s investments in home building joint ventures, was $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2012.  During the second quarter, Taylor Morrison in coordination with the Company's former parent company reached a settlement with the IRS resulting in a $79.6 million expense and a substantially offsetting tax benefit.

As adjusted, to exclude certain one-time charges relating to its recent initial public offering (“IPO”) and the IRS settlement, the Company had earnings per share of $0.27 for the second quarter of 2013.  Adjusted net income, which eliminates the effect of one-time charges and the IRS settlement, was $32.9 million for the second quarter of 2013.  These adjustments include a $10 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of a portion of the Company’s existing 7.75% senior notes due 2020 in connection with the IPO, $30 million for the termination of the management agreement with the Company’s principal equityholders in connection with the IPO and an $80 million non-cash charge associated with the reorganization of the Company’s equity structure immediately prior to the IPO. For the quarter, the Company had GAAP net earnings per share of $0.16 and GAAP net income of $5.3 million, available to Class A common stockholders.

The Company ended the second quarter of 2013 with $436.2 million of cash, including $15.0 million of restricted cash.  Homebuilding inventories at the end of the 2013 second quarter totaled $2.1 billion, an increase of 87% from $1.1 billion in June 30, 2012.  The Company owned or controlled approximately 45,000 lots at June 30, 2013 compared with approximately 32,000 lots at June 30, 2012.

 
IPO and Recent Financing Activities
 
On April 12, 2013, the Company completed its IPO, in which 28,572,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were sold at $22.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $628.6 million.  In connection with the IPO, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option of 4,285,800 shares at $22.00 per share for additional gross proceeds of $94.3 million.  Approximately $204.2 million of the proceeds from the IPO were used to redeem $189.6 million of the Company’s 7.75% senior notes due 2020, at a price equal to 103.875% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The remaining IPO proceeds, together with cash on hand were used to purchase equity interests in the Company’s operating partnership from the Company’s principal equityholders and to pay IPO-related fees.

Concurrent with the IPO, the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries entered into a new $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility, maturing in April 2017, replacing an existing $225 million secured revolving credit facility.  In addition, the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries issued $550 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2021, the proceeds of which are being used for general corporate purposes.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables set forth a reconciliation between our home closings gross margin and our adjusted home closings gross margin as well as between net income and adjusted net income. Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated based on gross margins, excluding impairments and capitalized interest amortization. Management uses adjusted home closings gross margins to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis as well as the performance of our regions. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated based on net income, excluding one-time charges.  We believe this adjusted gross margin measure and adjusted net income are relevant and useful to investors for evaluating our performance. These measures are considered non- GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures as a measure of our operating performance. 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 net income and gross margins and any adjustments to such amounts before comparing our measures to those of such other companies.
