FY 2017 Second Quarter Financial Highlights:
▪ | FY 2017’s second-quarter net income was $124.6 million, or $0.73 per share diluted, compared to net income of $89.1 million, or $0.51 per share diluted, in FY 2016’s second quarter. |

▪ | Revenues of $1.36 billion and home building deliveries of 1,638 units increased 22% in dollars and 26% in units, compared to FY 2016’s second quarter. The average price of homes delivered was $832,400, compared to $855,500 one year ago. The drop in the average price of homes delivered, as well as in contracts and backlog, was due to mix changes. |
▪ | Net signed contracts of $2.02 billion and 2,511 units rose 23% in dollars and 26% in units, compared to FY 2016’s second quarter. The average price of net signed contracts was $804,200, compared to $825,500 one year ago. |
▪ | On a per-community basis, FY 2017’s second-quarter net signed contracts was 7.82 units per community, compared to second-quarter totals of 6.80 in FY 2016, 7.43 in FY 2015, and 7.14 in FY 2014. |

Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., Toll Brothers’ chief executive officer, stated: “Solid and improving demand and the financial strength of our affluent buyer base are driving our growth. Second-quarter net income grew 40%, revenues increased 22% in dollars and deliveries increased 26% in units, and contracts rose 23% in dollars and 26% in units, compared to the second quarter of FY 2016. This was our eleventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in contract dollars and units, highlighted by double digit increases in each of the past four quarters.
“This was the best spring selling season we have had in over ten years. The number of contracts in FY 2017’s second quarter was the highest since FY 2005’s third quarter and the number of contracts per community was the highest since FY 2006’s second quarter.
“We believe we are benefiting from the appeal and national recognition of the Toll Brothers brand and a lack of large scale competition in the affordable end of the luxury new home market. The breadth of products we offer, our beautiful home designs and our ability to appeal to a wide range of demographic groups, including affluent move-up, empty-nester and millennial buyers, are also fueling our advantage.
“Increasingly, home buyers choose to buy new over used homes, particularly in the luxury market where consumers want, and can afford, to customize their homes. We think our customization program differentiates us within our segment of the luxury market. Every Toll Brothers buyer can create their dream home to fit their current and future lifestyle. Our buyers spend an additional $120,000, on average, in structural and designer options to further customize their already well-appointed homes.
“The supply of new and existing homes continues to trail the growth in population and households. We are producing strong results even with industry-wide home production levels still well below historic norms. Our affluent discerning buyer base, combined with our strong balance sheet, and well located communities, is enabling us to outpace the industry in many metrics. Based on our land supply and other competitive advantages, we believe we are well positioned for the coming years.”
Martin P. Connor, Toll Brothers’ chief financial officer, stated: “We are very pleased with our results this quarter. Earnings per share rose 43% and we hit the high end of our projections in nearly all key metrics. Revenues, deliveries and average delivered price were near the top of our range of guidance. SG&A, as a percentage of revenues, was better than we had previously projected. Gross Margin, as a percentage of revenues, improved nearly 60 basis points over the previous quarter. Adjusted Gross Margin also came in at the upper boundary of our guidance, improving 34 basis points over the previous quarter. Income from unconsolidated entities and Other income combined were also well above the midpoint of our guidance.
“Based on our strong results through FY 2017’s first six months, we are revising upward our target of FY 2017 return-on-beginning-equity to 12.5% from 12% previously.
“In the second quarter, we issued $300 million of 10-year bonds at a rate of 4.875%. With $691.3 million in cash and $1.18 billion available under our credit facility at second quarter end, we are opportunistically positioned to retire our $400 million of debt maturing in October 2017, as well as, potentially, our $288 million convertible bonds in late calendar 2017. We paid our first quarterly dividend on April 28, 2017 of $.08 per share. We ended FY 2017’s second quarter with a debt-to-capital ratio(1) of 45.4%, and our net debt-to-capital ratio(1) dropped to 39.8%.
“Subject to our normal caveats regarding forward-looking statements, we offer the following guidance: Based on our strong first half results and our second-quarter-end $5 billion backlog, up 19% in dollars and 22% in units, compared to one year ago, we are increasing the mid-point of our delivery guidance range by 100 units for full FY 2017. We now project revenues and deliveries to be between $5.4 billion and $6.1 billion, and between 6,950 and 7,450 units, at an average price per unit of between $775,000 and $825,000. Adjusted Gross Margin is expected to be between 24.8% and 25.3% while SG&A, as a percentage of revenues, is projected to be about 10.6%. Other income and Income from unconsolidated entities is projected to be between $160 million and $200 million. We project the effective tax rate for FY 2017 to be approximately 37.5%.
“For FY 2017’s third quarter, we project deliveries of between 1,675 and 1,975 units at an average delivered sales price of between $790,000 and $815,000. Adjusted Gross Margin is expected to improve 10 basis points from FY 2017’s second-quarter results, while SG&A, as a percentage of revenues, is projected to be about 10.4% of revenues. Other income and Income from unconsolidated entities is projected to be between $15 million and $30 million. We project the effective tax rate for our third quarter to be approximately 39.0%.”
Robert I. Toll, executive chairman, stated: “We believe our strong results are being supported by the release of pent-up demand. Single family housing starts, while rising to 835,000 in April, are still just half the previous peak of 1.72 million in 2005.
“Many factors are bringing buyers off the fence right now, including low interest rates, urgency created by the limited supply of resale and new homes, and improving personal balance sheets and credit profiles. Our luxury buyers are further benefiting from a solid employment picture, strong consumer confidence, a robust stock market and increasing equity in their existing homes. Additionally, as the Wall Street Journal recently reported, the number of new-owner households was double the number of new-renter households in the first calendar quarter of this year. According to Trulia, this was the first time in a decade that new buyers have exceeded new renters. Clearly, the new home market is alive and well.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
This press release contains, and Company management’s discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company’s Adjusted Gross Margin and the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio.
These two measures are non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies in the homebuilding business.
The Company’s management considers these non-GAAP financial measures as we make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance, including against other homebuilders that may use similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in understanding our operations and leverage and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other homebuilders to the extent they provide similar information.
Adjusted Gross Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s gross margin as a percentage of revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s Adjusted Gross Margin (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as (i) gross margin plus interest recognized in cost of sales plus inventory write-downs divided by (ii) revenues.

Adjusted Gross Margin | 24.27 | % | 25.73 | % | 23.93 | % | ||||||
The Company’s management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is a useful financial measure to investors because it allows them to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the often varying effects of capitalized interest costs and inventory impairments. The use of Adjusted Gross Margin also assists the Company’s management in assessing the profitability of our homebuilding operations and making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix.
Forward-looking Adjusted Gross Margin
The Company has not provided projected third quarter and full year fiscal 2017 gross margin or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking Adjusted Gross Margin because such measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis, since inventory write-downs are based on future activity and observation and therefore cannot be projected for the third quarter or the full fiscal year. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our third quarter and full year fiscal 2017 gross margin.
Net Debt-to-Capital Ratio
The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt to capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure). The net debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as (i) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents plus stockholders’ equity.
