Latest News by Industry
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC), a leading national land developer and homebuilder, announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Reported net income of $310 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, was up 84 percent and 103 percent, respectively, from the third quarter of 2021.
Third quarter highlights included the following, as compared to the prior-year quarter:
"Our team once again generated record quarterly profitability metrics, including new highs for home closings gross margin, earnings per share and return on equity, despite the continued affordability and supply chain challenges facing our industry and the significant impact from Hurricane Ian on our Florida and Carolinas markets. While these headwinds, particularly the production-related delays from the storm, impacted our volume of home closings and sales, we still generated a record home closings gross margin of 27.5% and an all-time low SG&A ratio of 7.4%. These results drove a 103 percent increase in our earnings per diluted share and a doubling of our return on equity to 26 percent," said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO.
Recognizing changing consumer demands, Palmer also shared that the Company recently unveiled an enhanced end-to-end digital reservation system for to-be-built homes, an evolution of the technology that was first introduced in March 2021. The first-to-market technology gives Taylor Morrison home shoppers the ability to build a new home entirely online—and see it come to life through an interactive visualizer—by selecting their floor plan, lot, the home's exterior design, structural options, interior finishes, and then reserve the configuration online with a small deposit, all with the transparency of pricing along the way. In the third quarter, total spec and to-be-built online reservations had a conversion rate of approximately 40 percent, accounting for 13 percent of company sales.
"As the market evolves, we will continue to prioritize the health of our balance sheet and position ourselves to be opportunistic by balancing pace and price, managing inventory levels and preserving our capital. Our homebuilding and mortgage teams are focused on working closely with our customers to provide compelling incentives to address each buyers' unique circumstances, as well as adjusting pricing as needed on an asset-by-asset basis, appreciating each community's inventory, duration, competitive dynamics and targeted consumer group. While we remain positive on the long-term opportunity for housing, we expect the market to remain highly sensitive to interest rates and are therefore emphasizing a disciplined and prudent approach across our business," continued Palmer.
Lou Steffens, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said "our capital position is strong with approximately $1.4 billion of liquidity, and we are focused on further strengthening our balance sheet and driving strong cash flow generation. Accordingly, we increased our total revolving credit facility capacity to $1.1 billion and are taking steps to reduce gross debt outstanding through the early redemption of $350 million of senior notes on October 31st."
"We also significantly slowed our investment in new land acquisitions and moderated our starts pace. At the same time, given the compelling opportunity we continue to see in our equity, we continued to invest in share repurchases, which totaled $105 million during the quarter. Based on our healthy cashflow outlook, we remain on track to reduce our net debt-to-capitalization ratio to the mid-20 percent range by year end. However, due to the significant level of uncertainty in the current housing market, ongoing material and labor supply issues as well as the added complexity and production delays stemming from Hurricane Ian, we are not providing fourth quarter operational guidance," said Steffens.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we have provided information in this press release relating to: (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (iv) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio.
Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the net income/(loss) available to the Company excluding the impact of gains on land transfers and extinguishment of debt, net, and in the case of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, the tax impact due to such items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude interest expense/(income), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), non-cash compensation expense, if any, gains on land transfers and extinguishment of debt, net. Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, plus unamortized debt issuance cost/(premium), net, and less mortgage warehouse borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders' equity).
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our regions, and to set targets for performance-based compensation. We also use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization as an indicator of overall leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry. In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors.
We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metrics assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. Because we use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours.
