MATAWAN, N.J., June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV), a leading national homebuilder, reported results for its fiscal second quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2021.

RESULTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021:

• Total revenues increased 30.6% to $703.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, compared with $538.4 million in the same quarter of the prior year. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, total revenues increased 23.8% to $1.28 billion compared with $1.03 billion in the same period during the prior fiscal year.
  
  
• Homebuilding gross margin percentage, after cost of sales interest expense and land charges, increased 360 basis points to 18.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2021 compared with 14.5% during the same period a year ago. During the first half of fiscal 2021, homebuilding gross margin percentage, after cost of sales interest expense and land charges, was 17.7%, up 400 basis points, compared with 13.7% during the same period last year.
  
  
• Homebuilding gross margin percentage, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, increased 310 basis points to 21.3% during the fiscal 2021 second quarter compared with 18.2% in last year’s second quarter. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, homebuilding gross margin percentage, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, was 21.0%, up 320 basis points, compared with 17.8% in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
  

• In 2019, we granted phantom stock awards in lieu of actual equity under our long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). This was done in the best interest of shareholders to avoid dilution concerns associated with our low stock price of $14.50 at the time of grant. Expense related to the phantom stock varies depending upon our common stock price at quarter end, is a non-cash expense through fiscal 2021, and is reflected in our total SG&A expenses. SG&A expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 included $17.5 million of incremental expense due to the phantom stock awards, which is solely related to our common stock price increasing from $51.16 at the end of the first quarter to $132.59 at the end of the second quarter (“incremental phantom stock expense”). Had equity shares rather than phantom stock been utilized for our 2019 LTIP grants, there would not have been an incremental SG&A expense due to stock price movements.
  
  
• Total SG&A was $82.6 million, or 11.7% of total revenues, in the fiscal 2021 second quarter compared with $55.9 million, or 10.4% of total revenues, in the previous year’s second quarter. During the first six months of fiscal 2021, total SG&A was $146.3 million, or 11.4% of total revenues, compared with $116.3 million, or 11.3% of total revenues, in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Excluding incremental phantom stock expense, SG&A would have been $65.1 million, or 9.3% of total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and $128.8 million, or 10.1% of total revenues, for the six months ended April 30, 2021.
  
  
• Total interest expense was $43.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with $45.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, total interest expense was $84.9 million compared with $88.6 million during the same period last year.
  
  
• Income from unconsolidated joint ventures was $2.6 million for the second quarter ended April 30, 2021 compared with $6.2 million in the fiscal 2020 second quarter. For the first half of fiscal 2021, income from unconsolidated joint ventures was $4.6 million compared with $7.8 million in the same period a year ago.
  
  
• Income before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $31.0 million, up $26.9 million compared with $4.2 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the first six months of fiscal 2021, income before income taxes was $50.6 million compared with a loss of $3.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2020.
  
  
• Adjusted pretax income, which is income (loss) before income taxes excluding land-related charges and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, was $31.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with $5.4 million in the fiscal 2020 second quarter. Excluding incremental phantom stock expense, our adjusted pretax income would have been $48.6 million for the fiscal 2021 second quarter and would have exceeded the $45 million high end of the guidance range for the second quarter provided last quarter. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, adjusted pretax income was $52.6 million compared with a loss before these items of $8.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2020. Excluding incremental phantom stock expense, our adjusted pretax income would have been $70.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2021.
  
  
• The company recorded a full reduction of the federal tax valuation allowance and a partial reduction of the state tax valuation allowance during the quarter. This resulted in a credit to tax expense and an increase in net income during the quarter of $468.6 million. The remaining state valuation allowance as of April 30, 2021 was $102.9 million. The profit for the quarter, plus this reduction in valuation allowance, resulted in total shareholders' equity increasing sequentially by $489.0 million during the quarter.
  
  
• Net income, including the benefit of the valuation allowance reduction, was $488.7 million, or $69.65 per diluted common share, for the three months ended April 30, 2021 compared with net income of $4.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. For the first six months of fiscal 2021, net income, including the benefit of the valuation allowance reduction, was $507.6 million, or $72.71 per diluted common share, compared with a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, in the same period during fiscal 2020.
  
  
• EBITDA increased 49.9% to $76.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with $50.9 million in the same quarter of the prior year. For the first half of fiscal 2021, EBITDA was $138.3 million, a 57.4% increase, compared with $87.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. Excluding incremental phantom stock expense, adjusted EBITDA would have increased 80.2% to $93.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and would have increased 91.4% to $157.8 million for the six months ended April 30, 2021. Excluding incremental phantom stock expense, adjusted EBITDA would have exceeded the high end of the guidance range for the quarter provided last quarter.
  
  
• Financial services income before income taxes was $10.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, up 119.1% compared with $4.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. For the first half of fiscal 2021, financial services income before income taxes increased 112.3% to $19.5 million compared with $9.2 million in the same period one year ago.
  
  
• Consolidated contracts per community increased 61.9% to 18.3 contracts per community for the second quarter ended April 30, 2021 compared with 11.3 contracts per community in last year’s second quarter. Contracts per community, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures⁽¹⁾, increased 58.5% to 16.8 for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with 10.6 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. These strong year over year improvements in sales pace were positively impacted by slower sales during the initial COVID shutdown period last year.
  
  
• The number of consolidated contracts increased 19.1% to 1,771 homes during the fiscal 2021 second quarter, compared with 1,487 homes in last year’s second quarter. The number of contracts, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, for the three months ended April 30, 2021 increased 19.4% to 1,960 homes from 1,642 homes during the same quarter a year ago.
  
  
• For the first half of fiscal 2021, the number of consolidated contracts increased 26.3% to 3,549 homes compared with 2,809 homes in the first half of fiscal 2020. The number of contracts, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, for the six months ended April 30, 2021 increased 25.1% to 3,922 homes from 3,134 homes during the same period a year ago.
  
  
• As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, community count, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, was 117 communities, compared with 155 communities at April 30, 2020. Consolidated community count was 97 as of April 30, 2021, compared with 132 communities at the end of the previous year’s second quarter. The decline was primarily a result of selling out of communities at a faster than anticipated pace and delayed community openings primarily related to adverse impacts from COVID-19. We continue to expect to grow our fiscal 2021 year-end community count to approximately 130 communities, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures.
  
  
• Despite 1,618 second quarter consolidated deliveries, consolidated lots controlled increased by 1,295 lots sequentially to 28,077 at April 30, 2021 from 26,782 lots at January 31, 2021, which illustrated our ability to control more lots than we delivered.
  
  
• Due to consciously restricting sales in many of our communities in recent months and a difficult comparison to a very strong May last year, contracts per community for May 2021 decreased 18.9% to 4.3 compared with 5.3 for the same month one year ago. The dollar value of May 2021 consolidated contracts decreased 23.0% to $197.0 million compared with $255.9 million in May last year. However, May 2021 contracts had the highest gross margin percentage at the point of contract for any month in more than a decade.
  
  
• The dollar value of consolidated contract backlog, as of April 30, 2021, increased 85.2% to $1.77 billion compared with $958.1 million as of April 30, 2020. The dollar value of contract backlog, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, as of April 30, 2021, increased 80.0% to $2.04 billion compared with $1.13 billion as of April 30, 2020.
  
  
• Consolidated deliveries increased 22.1% to 1,618 homes in the fiscal 2021 second quarter compared with 1,325 homes in the previous year’s second quarter. For the fiscal 2021 second quarter, deliveries, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, increased 17.2% to 1,773 homes compared with 1,513 homes during the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
  
  
• For the first half of fiscal 2021, consolidated deliveries increased 17.3% to 3,003 homes compared with 2,561 homes in the first six months of the previous year. For the first half of fiscal 2021, deliveries, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, increased 13.1% to 3,277 homes compared with 2,898 homes during the same period of fiscal 2020.
  
  
• The contract cancellation rate for consolidated contracts was 16% for the second quarter ended April 30, 2021 compared with 23% in the fiscal 2020 second quarter. The contract cancellation rate for contracts including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures was 15% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with 23% in the second quarter of the prior year.

⁽¹⁾When we refer to “Domestic Unconsolidated Joint Ventures”, we are excluding results from our single community unconsolidated joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

LIQUIDITY AND INVENTORY AS OF APRIL 30, 2021: 

• During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, land and land development spending was $175.0 million, an increase of 53.0% compared with $114.4 million in last year’s second quarter. For the first half of fiscal 2021, land and land development spending was $353.6 million, an increase of 52.2% compared with $232.3 million in the same period one year ago.
  
  
• Total liquidity at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $352.8 million, well above our targeted liquidity range of $170 million to $245 million.
  
  
• In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, approximately 3,400 lots were put under option or acquired in 33 consolidated communities.
  
  
• As of April 30, 2021, the total controlled consolidated lots increased 5.0% to 28,077 compared with 26,734 lots at the end of the previous year’s second quarter. Based on trailing twelve-month deliveries, the current position equaled a 4.6 years’ supply.
  
  
• We sent a notice of redemption to pay off in full the remaining $111 million principal amount of our 10.0% senior secured notes due July 2022 at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date of July 31, 2021. Additionally, we presently intend to pay off in full the remaining principal amount of $70 million of our 10.5% senior secured notes due July 2024 in advance of their maturity.
  

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE⁽²⁾:

Financial guidance for both the third quarter and full year for fiscal 2021 assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $132.59 at April 30, 2021. Every $4 increase or decrease in common stock price from the end of the second quarter, results in an approximate $1 million increase or decrease, respectively, of phantom stock expense.

• For the third quarter of fiscal 2021, total revenues are expected to be between $700 million and $750 million, adjusted pretax income is expected to be between $35 million and $45 million and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $80 million and $90 million.
  
  
• For all of fiscal 2021, total revenues are expected to be between $2.65 billion and $2.80 billion; however, we are increasing our guidance for adjusted pretax income to be between $150 million and $170 million and we are increasing our guidance for adjusted EBITDA to be between $310 million and $350 million.
  

⁽²⁾The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairment loss and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.

COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:

“We are pleased with our trend of reporting improved results. Our fiscal 2021 second quarter total revenues, gross margin percentage, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pretax income were all within the guidance range that we gave last quarter. Had our SG&A not contained incremental phantom stock expense related solely to our stock price increasing from $51.16 at the end of the first quarter to $132.59 at the end of the second quarter, our results would have been above the high end of the guidance range for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pretax income, as well as within the SG&A ratio guidance range,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “By using phantom stock rather than actual equity shares for our 2019 LTIP grant when our stock price was so low, the Company avoided the long-term impacts of dilution and remains convinced it made the right decision for shareholders.”

“For the second consecutive quarter, our contract backlog dollars increased 85% year over year. Despite increased material and labor costs, gross margins on contracts currently in our backlog along with continued strong demand for new homes gave us the confidence to raise our full fiscal 2021 profitability guidance. We believe that the outlook for housing demand will remain strong over the next few years. Finally, our progress in increasing our land position and our significant increases in land and land development spend over the recent quarters gives us confidence about our ability to grow community count for the remainder of this year and beyond. By continuing to execute on our strategy, we can maximize returns for all of our stakeholders,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.
