“We are pleased with the progress we made this quarter,” said TRI Pointe Group Chief Executive Officer Doug Bauer. “TRI Pointe delivered on its stated guidance for our ending community count, deliveries, home sales revenue and homebuilding gross margin percentage. While the absorption pace in the quarter was slightly lower than it was last year, I am encouraged by the 26% year-over-year increase in new home orders we experienced in the month of September. We expect to continue this momentum into the fourth quarter due to the success of our new community openings.”

Third Quarter 2016 Operating Results
Net income available to common stockholders was $34.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2016, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $50.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2015.  The decrease in net income available to common stockholders was primarily driven by an $18.5 million decrease in homebuilding gross margin due to a 90 basis point decrease in homebuilding gross margin percentage and lower home sales revenue, which resulted from a 10% decrease in new home deliveries.
Home sales revenue decreased $63.7 million, or 10%, to $578.7 million for the third quarter of 2016, as compared to $642.4 million for the third quarter of 2015.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a 10% decrease in new home deliveries to 1,019, offset by an increase in average selling price of homes delivered to $568,000 compared to $564,000 in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in deliveries was primarily related to the timing of deliveries for the year, as we delivered a large number of our backlog units in the second quarter of 2016, which resulted in a lower number of backlog units going into the quarter compared to the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, deliveries were up 7% compared to the same period in the prior year.
New home orders decreased 6% to 932 homes for the third quarter of 2016, as compared to 996 homes for the same period in 2015, which was up 24% from 803 orders for the same period in 2014.  Average selling communities was 119.0 for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 120.8 for the third quarter of 2015. The Company’s overall absorption rate per average selling community for the third quarter of 2016 was 7.8 orders (2.6 monthly) compared to 8.2 orders (2.7 monthly) during the third quarter of 2015.  
The Company ended the quarter with 1,711 homes in backlog, representing approximately $950.2 million. The average sales price of homes in backlog as of September 30, 2016 decreased $43,000, or 7%, to $555,000 compared to $598,000 at September 30, 2015.  
Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2016 decreased to 20.1% compared to 21.0% for the third quarter of 2015.  Excluding interest and impairments and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 22.7%* for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 23.1%* for the third quarter of 2015.  The decrease in homebuilding gross margin percentage was largely due to the mix of homes delivered, with 50 less homes delivered from California which have gross margins above the Company average.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense for the third quarter of 2016 increased to 10.9% of home sales revenue as compared to 8.8% for the third quarter of 2015 due to decreased leverage as a result of the 10% decrease in home sales revenue.  
“Overall, we continue to see encouraging trends in all of our markets,” said TRI Pointe Group President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “Due to lower new home orders for the quarter, full year deliveries will likely be on the lower end of our previously stated range of 4,200 to 4,400 homes. That said, we expect to end the year with 125 active selling communities compared to 104 at the end of the prior year.  We think this community count growth and the progress we have made in accelerating the development of our longer dated assets in California will enable us to continue to create shareholder value through our homebuilding operations and reach our goal of delivering 5,100 to 5,400 homes in 2018.”

Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects to open nine new communities, and close out of seven, resulting in 125 active selling communities as of December 31, 2016.  In addition, the Company anticipates delivering approximately 85% of its 1,711 units in backlog as of September 30, 2016. The Company anticipates its homebuilding gross margin percentage to be approximately 20% for the fourth quarter, resulting in a full year homebuilding gross margin percentage in a range of 20.5% to 21.5%. Finally, the Company expects its SG&A expense ratio to be approximately 9% for the fourth quarter resulting in a full year SG&A expense ratio in a range of 10.5% to 10.7%.

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 tables reconcile 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)
(unaudited)
 
The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the non-GAAP 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.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
(unaudited)
 
The following table calculates the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP.  EBITDA means net income 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) impairment and lot option abandonments and (g) restructuring charges. 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.
