“2018 is off to a great start,” said TRI Pointe Group Chief Executive Officer Doug Bauer. “Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2018 grew more than five-fold on a year-over-year basis, thanks to significant increases in unit deliveries, average sales prices, and homebuilding gross margins. We saw strong demand throughout the quarter, as evidenced by our absorption rate of 3.8 homes per community per month. This demand was broad based, both from a geographic and segmentation standpoint, which enabled us to raise prices in several of our communities and helped offset cost pressures that the homebuilding industry has been facing. Our legacy assets in California continued to deliver strong results for our company, and I am pleased to report that all of our brands posted year-over-year homebuilding gross margin improvement. With excellent momentum on a number of fronts and a 39% increase to quarter-ending backlog on a dollar value basis, TRI Pointe Group is well positioned to achieve its goals in 2018.”

First Quarter 2018 Operating Results
Net income available to common stockholders was $42.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $8.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017.
Home sales revenue increased $190.6 million, or 49%, to $582.6 million for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to $392.0 million for the first quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a 22% increase in new home deliveries to 924, and a 22% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered to $630,000, compared to $517,000 in the first quarter of 2017.
New home orders increased 15% to 1,496 homes for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to 1,299 homes for the same period in 2017. Average selling communities increased 3% to 129.8 for the first quarter of 2018 compared to 125.5 for the first quarter of 2017. The Company’s overall absorption rate per average selling community increased 11% for the first quarter of 2018 to 11.5 orders (3.8 monthly) compared to 10.4 orders (3.5 monthly) during the first quarter of 2017.
The Company ended the quarter with 2,143 homes in backlog, representing approximately $1.4 billion. The average sales price of homes in backlog as of March 31, 2018 increased $73,000, or 12%, to $658,000, compared to $585,000 as of March 31, 2017.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2018 increased to 22.7%, compared to 18.8% for the first quarter of 2017. Excluding interest and impairments and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 25.2%* for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 21.3%* for the first quarter of 2017. The increase in homebuilding gross margin percentage was largely due to the mix of homes delivered, primarily in California.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense for the first quarter of 2018 decreased to 12.9% of home sales revenue as compared to 15.7% for the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to increased leverage as a result of a 49% increase in home sales revenue.
“Our performance this quarter is a testament to the quality of our local leadership teams and the emphasis TRI Pointe Group has put on design and innovation,” said TRI Pointe Group Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “Housing fundamentals remain strong in the markets in which we build, and we’ve been able to capitalize on this strength by making sure we have the right product in the right location. We have empowered our local teams to run their operations in an entrepreneurial manner, and they in turn have embraced TRI Pointe’s unique approach to homebuilding. This dynamic has been our formula for success for several years now, and we believe it will continue into the future.”

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 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.

The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the non-GAAP ratio of net debt-to-net capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-net 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)

The following table calculates the non-GAAP financial 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) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales, (c) income taxes and (d) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before (e) amortization of stock-based compensation, (f) impairments and lot option abandonments and (h) 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.
