TRI POINTE HOMES, INC. REPORTS 2014 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

-Successfully Completes $2.8 billion Merger in July 2014-

-Reports GAAP Net Income of $0.07 and Non-GAAP Net Income of $0.22 per Diluted Share-

-Reiterates Full Year 2015 Outlook for Net Income of $1.25-$1.40 per Diluted Share-

Irvine, California, November 6, 2014 /Business Wire/ – TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (NYSE: TPH) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

On July 7, 2014, TRI Pointe consummated the previously announced merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”). Before the merger, WRECO was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser Company engaged in homebuilding and related activities through five operating subsidiaries. The merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” of TRI Pointe by WRECO. As a result, legacy TRI Pointe’s financial results are only included in the combined company’s financial statements from the closing date forward and are not reflected in the combined company’s historical financial statements, except for legacy TRI Pointe’s common stock. Accordingly, legacy TRI Pointe’s financial results are not included in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) results for any periods prior to the closing.

The Company has appended Supplemental Combined Company Information to this press release to provide supplemental financial information of the combined company that is “Adjusted” to include legacy TRI Pointe’s financial results for the relevant periods prior to the Closing Date.

“We are pleased to report our first quarter of operating results following the successful completion of our merger with WRECO in July,” commented Douglas F. Bauer, Chief Executive Officer. “The combination of TRI Pointe’s operational expertise and WRECO’s strong homebuilding presence has resulted in a company that is well positioned to take advantage of the long term recovery of the housing market. During the quarter we made progress on multiple fronts with the initial integration of our expanded operations, including a 410 basis point reduction in our selling, general and administrative costs compared to the prior year quarter. We are pleased to announce the launch of TRI Pointe Solutions, made up of TRI Pointe Connect and TRI Pointe Assurance, a suite of home buyer services that will provide end-to-end support throughout the closing process, including mortgage, title and escrow services.”

Mr. Bauer continued, “While the current sales environment remains softer than we would like, we believe that we can drive future shareholder value thanks to our disciplined, proven operating strategy, our well capitalized balance sheet, and our excellent land positions, which are located in some of the best housing markets in the country. Our goal is to capitalize on the local homebuilding expertise of each of our six brands while improving on our operational performance via reduced cycle times, better purchasing capabilities and a leaner cost structure. Given the strong track record of homebuilding excellence at both TRI Pointe and WRECO, we believe that the combined company can continue to build great homes and deliver strong returns to shareholders. To this end, we reiterate our guidance for 2015 of in excess of 25% delivery growth as compared to the 2014 combined deliveries of legacy TRI Point and WRECO, and fully diluted earnings per share of $1.25 to $1.40.”

GAAP Third quarter 2014 operating results

Income from continuing operations was $11.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014, compared to income from continuing operations of $19.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2014 was impacted by $36.7 million of expenses related to non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, restructuring charges and other expenses related to the merger. Excluding these items, net of tax, income from continuing operations would have been $34.7 million*, or $0.22* per diluted share.

Home sales revenue increased $167.2 million to $471.8 million for the third quarter of 2014, as compared to $304.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was attributable to the addition of legacy TRI Pointe’s operations at the closing date of the merger and a 41% increase in the Company’s average sales price of homes delivered to $560,000. The increase in the average sales price was primarily attributable the addition of legacy TRI Pointe which had an average sales price of homes delivered of $781,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, with no comparable amounts in the prior year period, as well as increases in all of our other reporting segments due to a shift in mix to a more move-up and higher priced product as well as price appreciation in certain markets.

New home orders increased to 803 homes for the third quarter of 2014, as compared to 767 homes for the same period in 2013. In addition, average active selling communities increased to 107.0 as compared to 90.9 for the same period in the prior year, mainly due to the addition of legacy TRI Pointe. During the quarter, the Company applied its’ definition of an active selling community to the WRECO communities resulting in a reduction of ten active selling communities. The Company’s overall absorption rate per average selling community for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 7.5 orders (2.50 monthly) compared to 8.4 orders (2.81 monthly) during the same period in 2013.

The Company ended the third quarter of 2014 with 1,440 homes in backlog, representing approximately $870 million in future home sales revenue. The average sales price of homes in backlog as of September 30, 2014 increased $112,000, or 23%, to $604,000 compared to $492,000 at September 30, 2013. The increase in average sales price of homes in backlog was primarily the addition of legacy TRI Pointe which had an average sales price of homes in backlog of $854,000 as of September 30, 2014, as well as increases in all of our other reporting segments.

Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2014 decreased to 18.3% compared to 22.3% for the same period in 2013. This decrease was primarily due a $13.0 million or 280 basis point non-cash purchase accounting adjustment as result of the merger. Excluding interest in cost of home sales and the non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 22.7%* for the third quarter of 2014 versus 24.2%* for the same period in 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2014 improved to 10.5% of home sales revenue as compared to 14.6% for the same period in 2013. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative expense ratio was primarily attributable to higher leverage from increased home sales revenue due to the addition of TRI Pointe and the increase in average sales price of homes delivered from all of our reporting segments, along with cost savings achieved by the reduction of duplicate corporate and divisional overhead costs and expenses.

Thomas J. Mitchell, President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “With the acquisition now complete, we have a tremendous opportunity to improve upon WRECO’s results by implementing our operating strategies across their well-positioned homebuilding platform. One of our top objectives is to infuse our brands and markets with new product offerings that reflect the desires and lifestyles of today’s consumer. In addition to our emphasis on new products, we have streamlined our existing product offerings at Winchester and Quadrant Homes, which we expect will increase cycle times by as much as 2 to 3 months. On that last front, we have begun to leverage our size and scale with national purchasing contracts which will help drive down costs. We also identified and eliminated overhead redundancies throughout the organization. While there is still much work to be done, we believe that these initiatives will result in a much more efficient, streamlined homebuilder that should be able to deliver both a great home-buying experience to customers and improved returns to shareholders.”

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company expects to open ten new communities, offset by final net new home orders at eight communities, resulting in 108 active selling communities as of December 31, 2014. The Company’s year ending active selling community outlook is an adjustment from our previous outlook based on the reduction in active selling communities in the third quarter as previously discussed. This reduction in our community count will have no impact on our previous outlook for new home deliveries in 2015. During the fourth quarter, the Company anticipates delivering approximately 75% to 80% of its combined 1,440 units in backlog as of September 30, 2014.

For the full year 2015, the Company expects to grow communities by 25% and grow new home deliveries in excess of 25% over the 2014 combined deliveries of legacy TRI Pointe and WRECO. The Company is also re-iterating its’ 2015 outlook for earnings per diluted share range of $1.25 to $1.40.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

In this earnings 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.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)

The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the ratio of net debt-to-capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-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 measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income (loss), as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA means net income (loss) before (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales and (e) amortization of stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before (f) non cash purchase accounting adjustments (g) restructuring expenses and (h) transaction related expenses. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful as measures of the Company’s ability to service debt and obtain financing.

SUPPLEMENTAL COMBINED COMPANY INFORMATION

(unaudited)

The merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”) was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” of TRI Pointe by WRECO in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” As a result, legacy TRI Pointe’s financial results are not included in the combined company’s GAAP results for any period prior to July 7, 2014, the closing date of the merger. This schedule provides certain supplemental financial and operations information of the combined company that is “Adjusted” to include legacy TRI Pointe stand-alone operations. No other adjustments have been made to the supplemental combined company information provided and this information is summary only and may not necessarily be indicative of the results had the merger occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or the financial condition to be expected for the remainder of the year or any future date or period.

The following schedule provides certain supplemental financial and operations information of the combined company that is “Adjusted” to include legacy TRI Pointe stand-alone operations for (i) the period from July 1, 2014 through July 7, 2014 and (ii) the three months ended September 30, 2013, as though the WRECO merger was completed on January 1, 2013.
