KB HOME REPORTS 2018 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Revenues Up 10% to $1.1 Billion;
Housing Gross Profit Margin Expands 170 Basis Points;
Earnings Per Diluted Share Increases 73% to $.57
LOS ANGELES (June 28, 2018) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2018.
“In the quarter, we produced double-digit revenue growth, expanded our operating margin and significantly improved our profitability, reflecting solid execution on our core business strategy,” said Jeffrey Mezger, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Moreover, we measurably increased our absorptions per community by 15%. This result underscores our success in attracting consumers with our personalized Built-to-Order homebuying experience and the targeted positioning of our communities in markets that are continuing to exhibit strong demand.”
“We have made meaningful progress on our Returns-Focused Growth Plan objectives,” continued Mezger. “As part of implementing our Plan over the last 18 months, we have used internally generated cash to invest $2.4 billion in land and development, a 26% increase over the preceding 18 months, to drive growth. At the same time, including our repayment of senior notes earlier this month, we have reduced our outstanding debt by nearly $600 million, which will enhance our future gross margins and returns. We expect to continue to generate considerable cash flow from our operations that can be deployed in a balanced manner to enhance stockholder returns.”
Three Months Ended May 31, 2018 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)
• | Total revenues grew 10% to $1.10 billion. |
• | Deliveries increased 5% to 2,717 homes. |

◦ | Homebuilding operating income margin increased 180 basis points to 6.8% from 5.0%. Excluding inventory-related charges of $6.5 million in the current quarter and $6.0 million in the year-earlier quarter, homebuilding operating income margin improved 170 basis points to 7.3%. |
▪ | Housing gross profit margin expanded 170 basis points to 17.1%. |
– | Housing gross profit margin excluding inventory-related charges increased 170 basis points to 17.7%. |
– | Adjusted housing gross profit margin, a metric that excludes inventory-related charges and the amortization of previously capitalized interest, rose 120 basis points to 22.2%. |
▪ | Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues were 10.4%, the same as last year’s second quarter record low. |
• | Total pretax income increased 51% to $78.3 million. |
• | The Company’s effective tax rate of approximately 27% in the quarter decreased from approximately 39% in the prior-year period, primarily due to the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). |
• | Net income rose 80% to $57.3 million, and earnings per share increased 73% to $.57 per diluted share. |
Six Months Ended May 31, 2018 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)

◦ | Inventory-related charges totaled $11.5 million, compared to $10.0 million. |

◦ | Excluding this charge, the Company’s adjusted income tax expense and adjusted effective tax rate were $27.1 million and approximately 22%, respectively. In addition to the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate, the adjusted income tax expense and adjusted effective tax rate reflected the favorable impacts of $4.2 million of federal energy tax credits the Company earned from building energy efficient homes, and $2.4 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation as a result of the Company’s adoption of a new accounting standard related to share-based payments. Without these credits and benefits, the Company’s adjusted effective tax rate would have approximated 27%. |
◦ | In the six months ended May 31, 2017, the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rate of $27.4 million and approximately 37%, respectively, included the favorable impact of $1.2 million of federal energy tax credits. |
• | As a result of the non-cash charge for the TCJA impact, the Company reported a net loss of $13.9 million, or $.16 per diluted share. Excluding this charge, the Company’s adjusted net income was $97.3 million, or $.97 per diluted share, compared to net income in the year-earlier period of $46.0 million, or $.49 per diluted share. |

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In Thousands, Except Percentages and Per Share Amounts - Unaudited)
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 housing gross profit margin, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted effective tax rate and ratio of net debt to capital, none of which are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful to investors in understanding its operations and the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. However, because they are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to other companies in the homebuilding industry and, thus, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, these non-GAAP financial measures should be used to supplement their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations.
Adjusted Housing Gross Profit Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s housing gross profit margin calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin:

(a) | Represents inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges associated with housing operations. |
(b) | Represents the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations. |
Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing housing revenues less housing construction and land costs excluding (1) housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges (as applicable) recorded during a given period and (2) amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, by housing revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is housing gross profit margin. The Company believes adjusted housing gross profit margin is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as it measures the gross profits the Company generated specifically on the homes delivered during a given period. This non-GAAP financial measure isolates the impact that housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges, and the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, have on housing gross profit margins, and allows investors to make comparisons with the Company’s competitors that adjust housing gross profit margins in a similar manner. The Company also believes investors will find adjusted housing gross profit margin relevant and useful

because it represents a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges, and amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations. This financial measure assists management in making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix, product pricing and construction pace.
Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

(a) | For the six months ended May 31, 2018, income tax expense and adjusted income tax expense, as well as the related effective tax rate and adjusted effective tax rate, include the favorable impacts of the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, $4.2 million of federal energy tax credits the Company earned from building energy efficient homes, and $2.4 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation as a result of the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” effective December 1, 2017. |
The Company’s adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company calculates by excluding a non-cash charge of $111.2 million recorded in the 2018 first quarter from its reported income tax expense, net loss, diluted loss per share and effective tax rate, respectively. This charge was primarily due to the Company’s previously announced accounting re-measurement of its deferred tax assets based on the above-noted reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate under the TCJA. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are the Company’s income tax expense, net loss, diluted loss per share and effective tax rate. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are meaningful to investors as they allow for an evaluation of the Company’s operating results without the impact of the TCJA-related charge.

The ratio of net debt to capital is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents, by capital (notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents, plus stockholders’ equity). The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net debt to capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
