Insights

Century Communities' Q4 and FY2024 results demonstrate exceptional operational execution and strategic growth initiatives. The 13% YoY increase in Q4 net income to $102.7M and 18% rise in adjusted net income to $112M reflect strong operational leverage and pricing power in a challenging market.

Three key operational achievements stand out: First, the 28% YoY growth in community count to 322 positions the company for sustained growth, supported by a strategic 9% increase in lot inventory to 80,632. The high proportion of controlled lots (56%) provides flexibility while managing capital efficiency. Second, margin improvement through cost controls and scale benefits, evidenced by the 80 basis point increase in adjusted gross margin to 23.3% and reduced SG&A, showcases operational discipline. Third, the expansion of the credit facility to $900M strengthens financial flexibility for future growth.

The company's capital allocation strategy remains shareholder-friendly, with $83.8M in share repurchases (over 3% of outstanding shares) and consistent quarterly dividends, while maintaining a conservative net homebuilding leverage of 27.4%. Management's 2025 guidance of 11,700-12,400 deliveries suggests continued growth momentum, supported by strong backlog conversion and community count expansion.

The strategic acquisitions of Landmark Homes and Anglia Homes enhance market presence and should contribute to achieving the projected $4.5-4.8B in 2025 home sales revenues. The company's record $84.65 book value per share (+13% YoY) underscores the successful execution of its growth strategy while maintaining financial discipline.

Century Communities, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (which we refer to as "Adjusted EPS") are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes are useful to management, investors and other users of its financial information in evaluating its operating results and understanding its operating trends without the effect of certain non-recurring items. The Company believes excluding certain non-recurring items provides more comparable assessment of its financial results from period to period. The Company defines adjusted net income as consolidated net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) inventory impairment, if applicable (iii) restructuring costs, if applicable, (iv) loss on debt extinguishment, if applicable, (v) purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, if applicable, and (vi) impairment on other investments, if applicable, less adjusted income tax expense, calculated using the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate after discrete items for the applicable period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by weighted average common shares – diluted.

The tax rates used in calculating adjusted net income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023  were 24.1% and 26.1%, respectively, which are reflective of the Company's GAAP tax rates for the applicable periods. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's adjusted income tax expense is reflective of its full year effective tax rate of approximately 24.1% and 26.1%, respectively, applied to adjusted income before income tax expense.

 

Century Communities, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment (if applicable), interest in cost of home sales revenues, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (if applicable), is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP; however, the Company's management believes that this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that inventory impairment, indebtedness, and acquisitions have on homebuilding gross margin and permits the Company's stockholders to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.  This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company's GAAP operating results.  An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest in cost of home sales revenues, (iii) other interest expense (income), and (iv) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before loss on debt extinguishment (if applicable), inventory impairment (if applicable), purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (if applicable), and impairment on other investments (if applicable). The Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results of operations as reported under GAAP.

Ratio of Net Homebuilding Debt to Net Capital

The following table presents the Company's ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The Company calculates this by dividing net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less cash and cash equivalents, and cash held in escrow) by net capital (net homebuilding debt plus total stockholders' equity). Homebuilding debt is total debt minus outstanding borrowings under construction loan agreement and mortgage repurchase facilities. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the ratio of debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in its operations and as an indicator of the Company's ability to obtain external financing.
