ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022.

“We generated very strong third quarter financial results,” said Allan P. Merrill, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Increases in both home prices and gross margin allowed us to significantly improve profitability despite continuing supply chain challenges. We also increased our lot position and reduced leverage as we continued to demonstrate positive results from our Balanced Growth strategy.”

Commenting on market conditions and updated fiscal 2022 full-year expectations, Mr. Merrill said, “The environment for new home sales became significantly more challenging during our third quarter, as higher mortgage rates and rapid inflation – among other macro-economic headwinds – negatively impacted homebuyer sentiment and behavior. While the structural demand for new homes remains quite strong, many prospective customers are delaying purchase decisions.”

“Despite near-term pressures on new home sales, the size of our backlog provides excellent visibility into full year financial results. Accordingly, we now expect to generate fiscal year 2022 earnings per share of approximately $6.50, inclusive of previously disclosed tax benefits of approximately $0.40 per share. We also expect to reduce debt below $1 billion by year end.”

Looking further out, Mr. Merrill concluded, “We remain confident in the long-term prospects of our business and the new home industry. The gap between the structural demand for homes and the likely supply of homes – which has given rise to a multimillion home deficit over the past decade – remains in place. In the quarters ahead, we expect consumers will adjust to a higher rate environment and that builders will modify the size, features and pricing of new homes to address affordability challenges. Balancing the opportunities and the challenges, we remain confident that we will be able to create durable value for our stakeholders, as we operate from a less leveraged and more efficient balance sheet and execute on our ESG initiatives.”

The following provides additional details on the Company's performance during the fiscal third quarter 2022:

Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $54.3 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $1.76. This included the impact of energy efficiency tax credits of $2.7 million, or $0.09 per share. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $88.2 million was up $9.4 million, or 11.9%, year-over-year. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by higher homebuilding gross margin.

Orders. Net new orders for the third quarter decreased to 925, down 22.9% from 1,199 in the prior year period. The decrease in net new orders was driven by a 22.9% decrease in sales pace to 2.5 orders per community per month, down from 3.2 in the prior year period. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 17.0%, up from 10.9% in the prior year period. Although up year-over year, the cancellation rate was well within our historical normal range.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of June 30, 2022 increased 17.2% to $1,588.0 million, representing 3,003 homes, compared to $1,354.6 million, representing 3,124 homes, at the same time last year. The average selling price of homes in backlog was $528.8 thousand, up 22.0% versus the previous year.

Homebuilding Revenue. Third quarter homebuilding revenue was $523.2 million, down 7.7% year-over-year. The decrease in homebuilding revenue was driven by a 24.3% decrease in home closings to 1,043 homes, partially offset by a 21.9% increase in the average selling price to $501.7 thousand.

Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin (excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest) was 28.1% for the third quarter, up 390 basis points year-over-year, driven primarily by pricing increases and lower sales incentives.

SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 11.8% for the quarter, up 70 basis points year-over-year primarily due to decreases in closings and revenue, while SG&A on an absolute dollar basis decreased by $1.1 million, or 1.7%, year-over-year.

Land Position. Controlled lots increased 26.0% to 24,899, compared to 19,761 in the prior year. Excluding land held for future development and land held for sale lots, active controlled lots were 24,132, up 25.2% year-over-year. The Company had 12,571 lots, or 52.1% of its total active lots, under option contracts compared to 9,263 lots, or 48.1% of its total active lots, under option contracts a year ago.

Share and Debt Repurchases. The Company repurchased $1.7 million of its outstanding 6.750% unsecured Senior Notes due March 2025 at an average price of $94.423 per $100 principal amount. In addition, the Company repurchased $2.5 million of shares through open market transactions during the quarter.

Liquidity. At the close of the third quarter, the Company had approximately $290.2 million of available liquidity, including $42.0 million of unrestricted cash.

Commitment to ESG

In May 2022, the Company received the 2022 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Award for the seventh consecutive year from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This award highlights the Company’s dedication to continually enhancing the energy efficiency of its homes and as a result making the total cost of homeownership more affordable for the customer.

Demonstrating recognition for the Company's efforts to create and sustain a strong reputation among employees, shareholders, customers and other partners, Beazer Homes was ranked first among construction companies in Newsweek's inaugural list of America's Most Trusted Companies 2022. This award was presented to the Company in April 2022 by Newsweek and Statista Inc. America's Most Trusted Companies 2022 were identified based on an independent survey of approximately 50,000 U.S. residents who rated companies they knew from the perspective of customers, investors and employees.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things: (i) the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and further deterioration in homebuilding industry conditions; (ii) continued increases in mortgage interest rates and reduced availability of mortgage financing due to, among other factors, recent and likely continued actions by the Federal Reserve to address sharp increases in inflation; (iii) other economic changes nationally and in local markets, including changes in consumer confidence, wage levels, declines in employment levels, and an increase in the number of foreclosures, each of which is outside our control and affects the affordability of, and demand for, the homes we sell; (iv) continued supply chain challenges negatively impacting our homebuilding production, including shortages of raw materials and other critical components such as windows, doors, and appliances; (v) continued shortages of or increased costs for labor used in housing production, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by such labor; (vi) potential negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, in addition to exacerbating each of the risks listed above and below, may include a significant decrease in demand for our homes or consumer confidence generally with respect to purchasing a home, an inability to sell and build homes in a typical manner or at all, increased costs or decreased supply of building materials, including lumber, or the availability of subcontractors, housing inspectors, and other third-parties we rely on to support our operations, and recognizing charges in future periods, which may be material, for goodwill impairments, inventory impairments and/or land option contract abandonments; (vii) factors affecting margins, such as increased sales incentives and mortgage rate buy down programs; decreased revenues; decreased land values underlying land option agreements; increased land development costs in communities under development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce our production and overhead cost structure; not being able to pass on cost increases through pricing increases; (viii) the availability and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our inventory, such as asset impairment charges we took on select California assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2019; (ix) our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital, due to factors such as limitations in the capital markets (including market volatility) or adverse credit market conditions, and our ability to otherwise meet our ongoing liquidity needs (which could cause us to fail to meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under our various debt instruments and therefore trigger an acceleration of a significant portion or all of our outstanding debt obligations), including the impact of any downgrades of our credit ratings or reduction in our liquidity levels; (x) market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital); (xi) inaccurate estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog), as they are subject to various cancellation risks that cannot be fully controlled; (xii) changes in tax laws or otherwise regarding the deductibility of mortgage interest expenses and real estate taxes; (xiii) increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design; (xiv) natural disasters or other related events that could result in delays in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease demand in the impacted areas; (xv) the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets; (xvi) increases in corporate tax rates; (xvii) potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or governmental policies, including those related to the environment; (xviii) the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations; (xix) the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims; (xx) the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds, as well as the sufficiency of these instruments to cover potential losses incurred; (xxi) the impact of information technology failures, cybersecurity issues or data security breaches; (xxii) the impact of governmental regulations on homebuilding in key markets, such as regulations limiting the availability of water; (xxiii) the success of our ESG initiatives, including our ability to meet our goal that every home we build will be Net Zero Energy Ready by 2025 as well as the success of any other related partnerships or pilot programs we may enter into in order to increase the energy efficiency of our homes and prepare for a Net Zero future; and (xxiv) terrorist acts, protests and civil unrest, political uncertainty, acts of war or other factors over which the Company has no control.
