    INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., Feb. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: TPH) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 and full year 2022. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of common stock through December 31, 2023 (the “Repurchase Program”).

    “Tri Pointe Homes delivered another quarter of strong profitability for the fourth quarter of 2022, reporting all-time highs for quarterly home sales revenue of $1.5 billion, pre-tax income of $274 million, and diluted earnings per share of $1.98,” said Doug Bauer, Tri Pointe Homes Chief Executive Officer. “The strong finish to the year resulted in a record-breaking full year performance on both the top and bottom lines for the second consecutive year. For the full year, home sales revenue increased 9% to $4.3 billion, pre-tax income increased 24% to $773 million and diluted earnings per share increased 35% to $5.54.”

    Mr. Bauer continued, “In addition to logistical challenges, our industry was also confronted with a challenging market in the back half of 2022, which found consumers facing a difficult home buying environment. In light of these circumstances, our team prioritized delivering our high margin homes in backlog and planning for success in 2023. This included analyzing price positioning and product offerings at both existing and future communities, as well as driving cost savings to produce more affordable price points. These strategies have already shown positive results in the early part of 2023. For the month of January, net new home orders were 421 with an absorption rate of 3.1 per community. To date in February, we have seen similarly strong results with absorption rates of approximately 4.0 net new home orders per community.”

    Mr. Bauer concluded, “We ended 2022 in a strong cash position and intend to use that capital to fund community count growth in 2023, which we anticipate will lead to more scale in each of our markets and drive better leverage and returns. We are encouraged by the early sales success we are seeing this year, while recognizing that this positive momentum could be impacted by further interest rate increases and the possibility of a recession. Long term, we remain extremely positive on the outlook for housing due to the lack of supply and favorable buyer demographics, and we feel Tri Pointe is in a strong position to capitalize on these factors.”

    “Our aim is to optimize our business to current market conditions while taking advantage of our strong land pipeline to grow volume over time.

Additionally, we are focused on improving cycle times to accelerate inventory turns and increase our delivery volume. While average cycle times have increased compared to pre-pandemic levels, our goal is to reduce cycle times by an average of four to six weeks by year end.”

    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 financial measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage and non-cash impairments and lot option abandonments, as applicable, have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who may 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.

    (1)  The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing debt by the sum of debt plus equity.
    (2)  The ratio of net debt-to-net capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus equity.


    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 available to common stockholders, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA means net income available to common stockholders 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 and (f) real estate inventory impairments and lot option abandonments. 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.
