“I am extremely pleased with how we ended 2016,” said TRI Pointe Group CEO Doug Bauer. “Fourth quarter net orders grew 21% as compared to the prior year period, thanks to a 10% increase in the monthly absorption rate and a 9% rise in average community count. Order trends remained strong in our core California markets during the quarter, while many of our markets outside of California experienced an increase in absorption rate. We believe that this is a testament to the relative strength of our markets and the quality of our communities and new home offerings. With a 19% increase in active selling communities at the start of 2017 as compared to the beginning of 2016, TRI Pointe Group is in a great position to achieve its goals for 2017 and beyond.”
Fourth Quarter 2016 Operating Results
Net income available to common stockholders was $57.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $85.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The decrease in net income available to common stockholders was primarily driven by lower home sales revenue and a $33.9 million decrease in homebuilding gross margin, resulting in a 220 basis point decrease in homebuilding gross margin percentage.
Home sales revenue decreased $76.7 million, or 9%, to $770.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to $847.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a 2% decrease in new home deliveries to 1,427, and a 7% decrease in average selling price of homes delivered to $540,000 compared to $583,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015.
New home orders increased 21% to 909 homes for the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to 753 homes for the same period in 2015.  Average selling communities was 122.8 for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 112.8 for the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company’s overall absorption rate per average selling community for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 7.4 orders (2.5 monthly) compared to 6.7 orders (2.2 monthly) during the fourth quarter of 2015.  
The Company ended the quarter with 1,193 homes in backlog, representing approximately $661.1 million. The average selling price of homes in backlog as of December 31, 2016 decreased $49,000, or 8%, to $554,000 compared to $603,000 at December 31, 2015.  
Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2016 decreased to 20.0% compared to 22.2% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Excluding interest and impairments and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 22.2%* for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 24.2%* for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The decrease in homebuilding gross margin percentage was largely due to the mix of homes delivered during the quarter, with 58 fewer homes delivered from California which have gross margins above the Company average.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased to 9.2% of home sales revenue as compared to 8.4% for the fourth quarter of 2015 due to decreased leverage as a result of the 9% decrease in home sales revenue.

“TRI Pointe Group continues to strive for operational excellence in our current business while investing in the future, most notably with the continued development of our longer-dated California assets,” said TRI Pointe Group COO Tom Mitchell. “These assets will provide us with a great runway of lots in land constrained California for years to come and will be a key contributor to our success moving forward. We are extremely optimistic about the potential of these assets, as well as the prospects for all of our brands as we head into 2017.”

Outlook
For the full year 2017, the Company is reiterating it’s guidance from their investor day this past November. The Company expects to grow average selling communities by 10% compared to the prior year and deliver between 4,500 and 4,800 homes at an average sales price of $570,000. The Company expects its homebuilding gross margin for the full year 2017 to be in the range of 20% to 21%, with quarterly fluctuations based on the mix of California deliveries, and expects its SG&A expense ratio to be in the range of 10.2% to 10.4% of home sales revenue. In addition, the Company anticipates gross profit from land and lot sales of approximately $45 million, most of which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017.

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.
