Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported increase in net income and earnings per share for Toll Brothers indicates a robust performance in the luxury home building sector. A 32% increase in earnings per share is particularly noteworthy, as it significantly outpaces average market growth rates, suggesting operational efficiency and strong demand for luxury homes. The improvement in the home sales gross margin by 200 basis points reflects effective cost management and pricing power in the market. Additionally, the reduction in the SG&A expense ratio, albeit marginal, contributes to the overall profitability.

However, the decline in backlog value by 18% raises questions about future revenue streams. This could indicate a potential slowdown in future sales or a strategic shift in operations. Investors should monitor subsequent quarters to assess if this is an emerging trend or a one-off variance. The sale of a land parcel and the expected pre-tax gain in the second quarter is a strategic move that may temporarily inflate earnings, which investors should account for when analyzing year-over-year performance.

Market Research Analyst

The luxury home market appears resilient, as evidenced by Toll Brothers' reported increase in average home prices and the net signed contract value. The growth in contracted homes by 40% suggests a strong consumer appetite for high-end properties, which could be driven by factors such as low resale inventory and a healthy job market. However, the decrease in the backlog of homes could indicate market saturation or a shift in consumer preferences. It's important to consider regional market trends and economic indicators that could influence the luxury segment differently than the broader housing market.

The forward-looking statements regarding the spring selling season and the company's ability to increase community count over the next several years highlight optimistic growth prospects. The emphasis on liquidity and cash flow suggests a strategic focus on financial stability and shareholder returns, which could be appealing to investors looking for sustainable growth and dividends.

Real Estate Economist

The data from Toll Brothers provides insight into the current state of the high-end residential construction market. The increase in average home prices to approximately $1 million signifies a strong market for luxury homes, potentially driven by limited supply and strong demand in certain geographic areas. The company's debt-to-capital ratio improvement to 28.0% from 34.1% year-over-year reflects a healthier balance sheet and reduced financial risk.

The land acquisition strategy, with a slight decrease in lots owned and optioned, suggests a cautious but steady approach to growth. This, coupled with the substantial improvement of over half of the owned lots, indicates a readiness to capitalize on market demand. The strategic land sale resulting in significant cash proceeds showcases an adeptness in asset management, which could provide flexibility for future investments or enhance shareholder value through buybacks or dividends.

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Feb. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) (TollBrothers.com), the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, today announced results for its first quarter ended January 31, 2024.

FY 2024’s First Quarter Financial Highlights (Compared to FY 2023's First Quarter):

• Net income and earnings per share were $239.6 million and $2.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $191.5 million and $1.70 per diluted share in FY 2023’s first quarter.
• Pre-tax income was $311.2 million, compared to $253.8 million in FY 2023’s first quarter.
• Home sales revenues were $1.93 billion, up 10% compared to FY 2023’s first quarter; delivered homes were 1,927, up 6%.
• Net signed contract value was $2.06 billion, up 42% compared to FY 2023’s first quarter; contracted homes were 2,042, up 40%.
• Backlog value was $7.08 billion at first quarter end, down 18% compared to FY 2023’s first quarter; homes in backlog were 6,693, down 13%.
• Home sales gross margin was 27.6%, compared to FY 2023’s first quarter home sales gross margin of 25.6%.
• Adjusted home sales gross margin, which excludes interest and inventory write-downs, was 28.9%, compared to FY 2023’s first quarter adjusted home sales gross margin of 27.5%.
• SG&A, as a percentage of home sales revenues, was 11.9%, compared to 12.1% in FY 2023’s first quarter.
• Income from operations was $308.4 million.
• Other income, income from unconsolidated entities, and gross margin from land sales and other was $8.6 million.
• Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company sold a parcel of land to a commercial developer for net cash proceeds of $180.7 million, which is expected to result in a pre-tax land sale gain of approximately $175 million in FY 2024's second quarter.
  

Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “We are very pleased with our strong first quarter results. We delivered 1,927 homes at an average price of approximately $1.0 million, generating home sales revenues of $1.93 billion. Our adjusted gross margin in the quarter was 28.9%, a 140-basis point increase compared to Q1 2023, and our SG&A expense, as a percentage of home sales revenues, improved by 20 basis points year-over-year to 11.9%. This combination of top line growth and greater operating efficiency led to earnings of $2.25 per diluted share in the quarter, a 32% increase over last year’s first quarter.

“We experienced another quarter of solid demand. We signed 2,042 net contracts for $2.06 billion, up 40% in units and 42% in dollars compared to last year’s first quarter. Since mid-January, we have seen a marked increase in demand coinciding with the start of the spring selling season. With a healthy job market, improving consumer sentiment, and continued low levels of resale inventory, we are optimistic that demand for new homes will remain strong in 2024.

“Based on our first quarter results, and with a strong start to the spring selling season, we are raising our full year guidance across all key metrics. In addition, earlier this month we sold a parcel of land to a commercial developer for net cash proceeds of $180.7 million, which will result in a pre-tax land sale gain of approximately $175 million in our second quarter. Factoring in both the increase to our homebuilding guidance and the impact of the land sale, we now expect to earn between $13.25 and $13.75 per diluted share in fiscal 2024, with a return on beginning equity of approximately 21%.

“At the end of our first quarter we owned or controlled approximately 70,400 lots, providing us with sufficient land to increase community count over the next several years. Our balance sheet is solid, we have ample liquidity, no significant near-term debt maturities, and we expect to generate significant cash flow from operations in fiscal 2024. This will enable us to continue investing in our business while also returning cash to stockholders throughout the year.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

This press release contains, and Company management’s discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company’s adjusted home sales gross margin and the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio.

These two measures are non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies in the home building business.

The Company’s management considers these non-GAAP financial measures as we make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance, including against other home builders that may use similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in understanding our operations and leverage and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other home builders to the extent they provide similar information.

Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted home sales gross margin is calculated as (i) home sales gross margin plus interest recognized in home sales cost of revenues plus inventory write-downs recognized in home sales cost of revenues divided by (ii) home sales revenues.

Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin Reconciliation
(Amounts in thousands, except percentages)
		Three Months Ended January 31,
		2024				2023
Revenues - home sales		$	1,931,836			$	1,749,422
Cost of revenues - home sales			1,399,226				1,300,923
Home sales gross margin			532,610				448,499
Add:	Interest recognized in cost of revenues - home sales		23,578				25,080
	Inventory impairments and write-offs in cost of revenues - home sales		1,471				8,004
Adjusted home sales gross margin		$	557,659			$	481,583
Home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues			27.6	%			25.6	%
Adjusted home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues			28.9	%			27.5	%

The Company’s management believes adjusted home sales gross margin is a useful financial measure to investors because it allows them to evaluate the performance of our home building operations without the often varying effects of capitalized interest costs and inventory impairments. The use of adjusted home sales gross margin also assists the Company’s management in assessing the profitability of our home building operations and making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix.

Forward-looking Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin
The Company has not provided projected second quarter and full FY 2024 home sales gross margin or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking adjusted home sales gross margin because such measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis, since inventory write-downs are based on future activity and observation and therefore cannot be projected for the second quarter and full FY 2024. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our second quarter and full FY 2024 home sales gross margin.

Net Debt-to-Capital Ratio
The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt to capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure). The net debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as (i) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents plus stockholders’ equity.

Net debt-to-capital ratio			21.4	%			17.7	%			27.5	%

The Company’s management uses the net debt-to-capital ratio as an indicator of its overall leverage and believes it is a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
