Taylor Morrison Reports Third Quarter Revenue of $853 Million and Earnings per Share of $0.49

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 2, 2016 — Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE:TMHC) today reported third quarter total revenue of $853 million, net income of $58 million and earnings per share of $0.49.

Third Quarter Highlights:

“We’re extremely pleased with the organization’s strong performance in the third quarter,” said Sheryl Palmer, President and CEO of Taylor Morrison. “Most notably, our net sales orders increased 19% from the prior year quarter to 1,950, which is on top of last year’s same quarter year-over-year sales growth of 18%. We are also quite pleased with our October sales performance up about 23% year-over-year. Our home closings gross margin was 50 basis points higher than the prior year quarter coming in at 18.9%.”

“The housing recovery continues at its measured pace in an upward trajectory. Our belief in this recovery remains intact, despite any external factors that may produce short-term choppiness in individual markets. We continue to take a longer-term view when evaluating the industry and believe that this approach keeps us focused on the right things that will produce the long-term results we expect. Taylor Morrison is well positioned to mature with the cycle and drive efficiencies from our strategic foundation.”

Backlog of homes under contract at the end of the quarter was 3,855 units, a growth of 8% from the prior year. Homes in backlog had a sales value of $1.9 billion, or a growth of 14% from the prior year. Homebuilding gross margin, including capitalized interest, was 18.9% compared to 18.4% in the third quarter of last year. The year-over-year increase was driven by the West and East regions, with some offset coming from the Central region. The improvement was driven by both mix and rate coupled with lower capitalized interest per unit as compared to the prior year. Land closings revenue generated over $19 million in margin primarily from the sale of long-term held assets.

SG&A as a percentage of homebuilding revenue was 10.9% for the quarter, which was impacted by both a shift of closings into Q4 and a pull forward of some 2017 investment into the business. “Now that we’re nearing completion of the integration of our new markets, we’re shifting our focus towards optimizing our operating model in order to maximize the benefit from the Company’s significant growth since the IPO in 2013,” stated Ms. Palmer. “We believe the investments we’re making in our people, processes, and tools will lead to accretive returns in the coming quarters.”

Earnings before tax as a percent of revenue was 10.6% for the quarter, representing an increase of 200 basis points from the prior year’s quarter. Net income was $58 million and earnings per share was $0.49, representing a 28% and 32% increase from last year’s quarter, respectively.

The Company ended the quarter with $161 million in cash and a net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio of 41.0%.

Homebuilding inventories were $3.3 billion at the end of the quarter with 4,747 homes in inventory, compared to 4,525 homes at the end of the prior year quarter. Homes in inventory at the end of the quarter consisted of 3,078 sold units, 442 model homes and 1,227 inventory units, of which 228 were finished. The Company owned or controlled approximately 39,000 lots at September 30, 2016.

During the third quarter, the Company repurchased Class A common stock for $3.8 million, or an average price of about $15.50 per share. At September 30, 2016, the Company had $56.4 million remaining under its existing share repurchase program.

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, our net income from continuing operations and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of our net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio. Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated based on home closings gross margin, excluding impairments, if any, and capitalized interest amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that measures performance by adjusting net income from continuing operations to exclude interest amortized to cost of sales and interest income (net), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, if any. Net homebuilding debt to capitalization, which we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, less unamortized debt issuance costs and mortgage warehouse borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders’ equity), is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis as well as the performance of our regions. We use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization as an indicator of overall leverage. In the future we may include additional adjustments in the above described non-GAAP financial measures, to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors.

We believe adjusted home closings gross margin is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the often varying effects of interest costs capitalized. We believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it allows investors to evaluate our performance without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or non-recurring items. We use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry and believe it is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason.

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 or liquidity. 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, gross margins and total debt to capitalization and any adjustments to such amounts before comparing our measures to those of such other companies.
