IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TRI Pointe Group, Inc. (NYSE: TPH) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

On July 7, 2014, TRI Pointe consummated the merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”). The merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” of TRI Pointe by WRECO.

The Company has appended Supplemental Combined Company Information to this press release to provide supplemental financial and operational information of the combined company that is “Adjusted” to include legacy TRI Pointe’s standalone operations for the relevant periods prior to the merger.

“I am extremely pleased with our company’s execution this quarter,” commented Chief Executive Officer Doug Bauer. “TRI Pointe Group continued to sell homes at a healthy pace, with an absorption rate of 3.5 homes per community per month, compared to a rate of 2.6 homes per community per month in the same period in 2014. We also delivered on our previously stated guidance for backlog conversion and homebuilding gross margins. In addition, we closed the Pacific Highlands Ranch commercial site land sale which generated revenue of $53.0 million and $49.6 million of gross margin. These achievements resulted in a 68% year-over-year increase to earnings per share, and reflect our ongoing commitment to unlocking shareholder value through our traditional homebuilding operations and strategic land sales.”

GAAP Second quarter 2015 operating results

Net income available to common shareholders was $54.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015, compared net income of $24.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2014. The improvement in net income available to common shareholders was primarily driven by an increase of $53.2 million in land sales gross margin and an $18.6 million increase in homebuilding gross margin due to higher home sales revenue, offset by an increase in SG&A expense of $12.0 million, an increase in the Company’s provision for income taxes of $24.4 million and an increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $1.8 million.

Home sales revenue increased $117.6 million to $427.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to $309.6 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was attributable to a 27% increase in new home deliveries to 798 and a 9% increase in the Company's average sales price of homes delivered to $535,000. The increase in new home deliveries and the average sales price was primarily attributable to the addition of legacy TRI Pointe which delivered 174 homes with an average sales price of $750,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, with no comparable amounts in the prior year period.

New home orders increased 62% to 1,238 homes for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to 763 homes for the same period in 2014. In addition, average active selling communities increased to 119.5 as compared to 97.5 for the same period in the prior year, mainly due to the addition of legacy TRI Pointe. The Company’s overall absorption rate per average selling community for the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased 33% to 10.4 orders (3.5 monthly) compared to 7.8 orders (2.6 monthly) during the same period in 2014.

The Company ended the quarter with 1,998 homes in backlog, representing approximately $1.2 billion in future home sales revenue. The average sales price of homes in backlog as of June 30, 2015, increased $38,000, or 7%, to $601,000 compared to $563,000 at June 30, 2014. The increase in average sales price of homes in backlog was primarily attributable to the addition of legacy TRI Pointe which had an average sales price of homes in backlog of $712,000 as of June 30, 2015.

Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2015 decreased to 20.0% compared to 21.6% for the same period in 2014 but increased sequentially from 19.9% during the first quarter of 2015. This decrease compared to the same period in the 2014 was primarily due to increases in land, labor and material costs outpacing home price appreciation. Excluding interest and impairments and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 22.0%* for the second quarter of 2015 versus 23.3%* for the same period in 2014.

Land and lot sales revenue increased $40.0 million to $67.5 million for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to $27.5 million for the same period in 2014. Land and lot sales gross margin percentage for the second quarter increased to 82.9% compared to 10.0% for the same period in 2014. The increase in land and lot sales revenue and gross margin percentage was mainly due to the sale of a 15.72 acre employment center located in the Pacific Highlands Ranch master plan community in the San Diego, CA division of our Pardee Homes reporting segment. The sale was completed in June of 2015 for $53.0 million in cash. The transaction included significant gross profits due to the low land basis of the Pacific Highlands Ranch community which was purchased in 1981.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the second quarter of 2015 improved to 12.6% of home sales revenue as compared to 13.6% for the same period in 2014. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative expense ratio was primarily attributable to higher leverage from increased home sales revenue due to the addition of TRI Pointe.

Thomas Mitchell, TRI Pointe Group’s President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “TRI Pointe’s homebuilding operations continue to gain momentum, as evidenced by our 38% increase in homebuilding revenues and our 62% increase in homes sold. With quarter end backlog up 68% year-over-year on a unit basis, and up 79% on a dollar value basis, TRI Pointe stands poised to deliver strong top and bottom line results in the second half of 2015.”

The following operational information is “Adjusted” to include legacy TRI Pointe’s operations for the second quarter of 2014. No other adjustments have been made to this information, which is purely informational and does not purport to be indicative of what would have happened had the merger occurred as of the beginning of the period presented, nor is it indicative of results that may occur in the future, nor does it include any synergies of the combined company.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

 

In this earnings 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 ratio of net debt-to-capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-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 measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income (loss), as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA means net income (loss) before (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales and (e) amortization of stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before (f) restructuring expenses and (g) impairment 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.
