Insights

Smith Douglas Homes delivered impressive growth metrics in Q4 2024, with home closings up 28% to 836 units and revenue increasing 32% to $287.5 million. This quarterly performance capped a strong year where annual closings grew 25% and revenue rose 28% to $975.5 million.

The company's operational expansion is evident through their 13% increase in active communities (now 78) and remarkable 52% growth in controlled lots to 19,522. Their land-light strategy remains intact with 96% of unstarted lots controlled through options rather than owned outright.

Most impressive is the substantial balance sheet improvement, with debt-to-book capitalization plummeting from 26.6% to just 0.8%. This dramatic deleveraging provides significant financial flexibility for future growth initiatives.

The primary concern is margin compression, with Q4 gross margins declining 120 basis points year-over-year to 25.5% and full-year margins dropping 210 basis points to 26.2%. This pressure translated to essentially flat Q4 pre-tax income ($30.0 million vs. $29.7 million) and a 5.1% decrease in full-year pre-tax income.

Despite affordability challenges in the broader housing market, Smith Douglas is demonstrating robust execution on their growth strategy while maintaining their value proposition to entry-level homebuyers. Their record quarterly closings and substantial lot position growth suggest strong momentum heading into 2025.

Greg Bennett, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Smith Douglas ended the year on a strong note, generating pre-tax income of $30 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. New home deliveries for the quarter totaled 836, which was well above our stated guidance and represented a Company record for quarterly closings. Home closing gross margin came in line with our expectations for the quarter at 25.5%. I want to thank all our team members for their efforts this quarter and for making our first year as a public company a real success.”

Russ Devendorf, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer added, “During the quarter we made further progress towards expanding our homebuilding operations in existing markets and establishing our presence in newer markets. Lot count at the end of the quarter stood at 19,522 lots, representing a 52% increase over last year. Approximately 96% of our unstarted controlled lots were controlled via option agreement, which is consistent with our land light strategy.”

Mr. Devendorf continued, “As we enter the heart of the 2025 spring selling season, we remain encouraged by the trends we are seeing in our markets. Traffic levels at our communities and online have been solid so far this year, though affordability issues continue to persist, while the supply of existing homes remains below historical levels. Given the value proposition Smith Douglas offers to buyers through our affordable pricing and the customization we can provide, we believe we can compete effectively in today’s market environment.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), this press release includes net debt-to-net book capitalization and adjusted net income.

Net debt-to-net book capitalization

Net debt-to-net book capitalization is a supplemental measure of our leverage that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to debt-to-book capitalization or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of net debt-to-net book capitalization may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors because not all companies and analysts calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our leverage and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

We define net debt-to-net book capitalization as:

  • Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by
  • Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, plus stockholders’ equity.

This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool in that it subtracts cash and cash equivalents and therefore may imply that the Company has less debt than the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of this limitation, this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered along with other financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the following table:

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income or net income margin as determined by GAAP. Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define adjusted net income as net income adjusted for the tax impact using a 24.6% federal and state blended tax rate (assuming 100% public ownership to adjust for the impact of taxes on earnings attributable to Smith Douglas Holdings LLC as if Smith Douglas Holdings LLC was a subchapter C corporation in the periods presented).

Management believes adjusted net income is useful because it allows management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and comparability to industry peers who record income tax expense on their income before tax as opposed to the income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC not being taxed at the entity level and, therefore, not reflecting a charge against earnings for income tax expense. Adjusted net income should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of adjusted net income may not be comparable to adjusted net income of other companies. We present adjusted net income because we believe it provides useful information regarding our comparability to peers.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted net income to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the periods indicated:
