“TRI Pointe Group turned in another strong operational performance in the third quarter, highlighted by year-over-year home sales revenue growth of 19% and gross margin expansion of 180 basis points,” said TRI Pointe Group Chief Executive Officer Doug Bauer. “Our absorption rates did slow in the quarter as compared to the same period last year, which we feel is a natural reaction by buyers confronted by higher mortgage interest rates and higher home prices. It is important to note that, while not as strong as the same period last year, our overall absorption rate of 2.7

homes per community per month for the quarter was similar to the company's historical third quarter absorption rate in other years.”
Mr. Bauer continued, “We remain focused on the long-term outlook for our company and industry, which we believe is positive given the current strong economic fundamentals and favorable demographic trends. Our company’s leadership is comprised of industry veterans who know how to compete effectively in challenging demand environments. We believe this experience, coupled with our strong balance sheet, product differentiation, and market positioning, makes TRI Pointe Group well positioned for long-term success.”
Third Quarter 2018 Operating Results
Net income available to common stockholders was $64.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $72.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017. Included in net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2017 was gross margin of $55.4 million related to the sale of a land parcel consisting of 69 homebuilding lots located in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community in San Diego, California.
Home sales revenue increased $123.1 million, or 19%, to $771.8 million for the third quarter of 2018, as compared to $648.6 million for the third quarter of 2017.  The increase was primarily attributable to a 10% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered to $640,000, compared to $584,000 in the third quarter of 2017, and an 8% increase in new home deliveries to 1,205, compared to 1,111 in the third quarter of 2017.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2018 increased to 21.3%, compared to 19.5% for the third quarter of 2017.  Excluding interest and impairments and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 24.0%* for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 22.0%* for the third quarter of 2017.  
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense for the third quarter of 2018 increased to 10.7% of home sales revenue as compared to 10.2% for the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher selling costs related to the timing of new community openings and the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 606, resulting in various sales office, model and other marketing related costs that were previously capitalized to inventory and amortized through cost of home sales being expensed when incurred to selling expense or capitalized to other assets and amortized to selling expense.
New home orders decreased 18% to 1,035 homes for the third quarter of 2018, as compared to 1,268 homes for the same period in 2017.  Average selling communities decreased 2% to 127.3 for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 129.8 for the third quarter of 2017. The Company’s overall absorption rate per average selling community decreased 17% for the third quarter of 2018 to 8.1 orders (2.7 monthly) compared to 9.8 orders (3.3 monthly) during the third quarter of 2017.  
The Company ended the quarter with 2,101 homes in backlog, representing approximately $1.4 billion. The average sales price of homes in backlog as of September 30, 2018 increased $27,000, or 4%, to $681,000, compared to $654,000 as of September 30, 2017.  
“We continue to focus on growing our premium lifestyle brand, improving the sales process, and implementing product offerings that are consistent with market demand profiles,” said TRI Pointe Group Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “We feel that this focus differentiates us from the competition and leaves us well positioned to compete effectively for home buyers in all markets and product segments.”

Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company expects to open 19 new communities, and close out of 14, resulting in 130 active selling communities as of December 31, 2018.  In addition, the Company anticipates delivering 80% to 85% of its 2,101 units in backlog as of September 30, 2018 at an average sales price of $640,000.  For the full year,

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-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)
(unaudited)
 
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.
