Insights

Financial Analyst

Toll Brothers has posted a strong performance for the second quarter of FY 2024. The key takeaway is the significant $481.6 million in net income, up 50% from the previous year. Earnings per share (EPS) also saw a sharp rise to $4.55 per share from $2.85 per share in the previous year, which includes a one-time gain of $124.1 million from a land sale. Excluding this gain, net income and EPS still showcased robust growth.

The increase in home sales revenue by 6%, reaching $2.65 billion and a rise in delivered homes by 6% to 2,641 units, reflect a strong demand in the luxury housing market. Notably, net signed contract value jumped by 29%, with contracted homes up by 30%, indicating positive future revenue streams.

However, the backlog value decreased by 12% to $7.38 billion, suggesting a potential slower growth in future quarters. The home sales gross margin slightly dipped to 25.8% from 26.4%, though the adjusted gross margin stayed relatively stable.

For investors, Toll Brothers' robust cash flow and low net debt-to-capital ratio of 18.7% are reassuring, showing financial stability and liquidity. The increase in dividends and share repurchases demonstrates the company's commitment to returning value to shareholders.

Short-term, investors might see volatility due to the reduced backlog value, but long-term growth prospects appear solid given the company's strategic initiatives in expanding market share and maintaining operational efficiency.

Market Research Analyst

Toll Brothers' 30% increase in net signed contracts is a noteworthy highlight, indicating strong consumer demand and market confidence in the luxury home segment. The company's strategy to widen its price point and increase the supply of spec homes appears to be paying off, as these measures are likely attracting a broader customer base.

Despite the lower backlog value and slight decrease in gross margin, the company's ability to outperform its guidance on gross margin and SG&A expenses reflects operational efficiency. The 2.8% cancellation rate, down from 3.9%, also signals improved customer retention and satisfaction.

From a market perspective, the increasing home prices and demand can be attributed to macroeconomic factors such as resilient economic conditions, favorable demographics and limited housing supply. The chronic underproduction of housing in the U.S. and low resale inventory due to higher interest rates are driving this trend.

Investors should monitor the market dynamics and Toll Brothers' strategic initiatives to diversify its product offerings to capture more market share, which can yield long-term benefits. The company's ability to adapt to market conditions and leverage its operational strengths will be critical for sustaining growth.

Real Estate Expert

Toll Brothers' performance reflects broader trends in the luxury real estate market. The company's focus on expanding its range of affordable luxury homes and spec homes is a strategic move to tap into a wider segment of buyers who are priced out of ultra-luxury homes but still seek premium features.

The 6% increase in delivered homes and the significant rise in net signed contracts indicate a strong demand pipeline. However, the 12% drop in backlog value is a point of concern, suggesting that while current sales are strong, future growth might face headwinds if new contract signings don't keep pace.

The company's land acquisition strategy, with substantial investments in purchasing lots, is aimed at securing future growth. Owning approximately 52% of its lots ensures control over development timelines and costs, which is important in the current market environment where land prices are volatile.

For investors, Toll Brothers' approach to balancing growth with financial prudence is commendable. The company's low debt levels and strong liquidity position provide a cushion against market fluctuations, making it a relatively stable investment in the real estate sector.

Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “We are very pleased with our second quarter results. We delivered 2,641 homes at an average price of $1.0 million, generating home sales revenues of $2.65 billion, a 6% increase compared to last year’s second quarter. Our adjusted gross margin was 28.2%, 60 basis points better than guidance, and our SG&A expense, as a percentage of home sales revenues was 9.0%, 70 basis points better than guidance. These strong home building results, together with a previously disclosed $175 million pre-tax land sale gain, contributed to record second quarter earnings of $4.55 per diluted share, up 60% compared to last year. In addition, we signed 3,041 net contracts for $2.9 billion in the quarter, up 30% in units and 29% in dollars compared to the second quarter of 2023. Based on these outstanding results, and with continued solid demand as we start our third quarter, we are increasing our full year revenue and earnings guidance. We now expect to earn approximately $14.00 per diluted share in fiscal 2024 with a return on beginning equity of approximately 22%.

“Demand for new homes continues to be driven by a resilient economy, favorable demographics and a lack of supply that reflects both the chronic underproduction of housing in the U.S. and the historically low levels of resale inventory caused by the lock-in effect of higher rates. Our strategy of widening our price points to include more affordable luxury homes and increasing our supply of spec homes has helped us grow market share. It also enables us to reduce cycle times, improve inventory turns and leverage our fixed costs, driving revenue growth and higher operating margins. With these strategies firmly in place and producing results, and with our more capital efficient land strategy, we are confident that we can continue to generate attractive returns well into the future.

“We have a healthy balance sheet with low net debt and ample liquidity, and we continue to generate significant operating cash flows. In the second quarter, we repurchased $181 million of common stock and increased our quarterly dividend by 10%. Our solid financial position, more efficient operations and strong cash flow generation should allow us to continue investing in growth while also returning cash to stockholders.”

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, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio.

These four 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 April 30,								Six Months Ended April 30,
			2024				2023				2024				2023
Revenues - home sales		$	2,647,020			$	2,490,098			$	4,578,856			$	4,239,520
Cost of revenues - home sales			1,963,283				1,832,878				3,362,509				3,133,801
Home sales gross margin			683,737				657,220				1,216,347				1,105,719
Add:	Interest recognized in cost of revenues - home sales		34,740				37,558				58,318				62,638
	Inventory impairments and write-offs in cost of revenues - home sales		28,428				11,069				29,899				19,073
Adjusted home sales gross margin		$	746,905			$	705,847			$	1,304,564			$	1,187,430
Home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues			25.8	%			26.4	%			26.6	%			26.1	%
Adjusted home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues			28.2	%			28.3	%			28.5	%			28.0	%

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 third 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 third quarter and full FY 2024. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our third quarter and full FY 2024 home sales gross margin.

Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation
The following table reconciles the Company’s net income and earnings per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure).

Adjusted diluted earnings per share		$	3.38			$	2.85		$	5.63			$	4.56

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.

	Cash and cash equivalents		(1,030,530	)			(754,793	)			(1,300,068	)
Total net debt			1,679,240				1,905,770				1,460,341
Total stockholders’ equity			7,307,974				7,019,271				6,797,156
Total net capital		$	8,987,214			$	8,925,041			$	8,257,497
Net debt-to-capital ratio			18.7	%			21.4	%			17.7	%

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.
