IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TRI Pointe Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:TPH) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

“TRI Pointe Group delivered another quarter of outstanding results in the third quarter of 2020, generating year-over-year net order growth of 50% and net income of $78.7 million, or earnings per share of $0.61,” said TRI Pointe Group Chief Executive Officer Doug Bauer. “Our homebuilding operations continue to benefit from extremely strong housing fundamentals, marked by low interest rates, scarcity of new and existing home inventory and highly motivated buyers. We believe these positive drivers will remain in place for the foreseeable future and will serve as tailwinds for our company as we grow our presence across the country.”

Mr. Bauer continued, “The robust demand we experienced in the quarter resulted in pricing power at our communities and allowed us to stay ahead of input cost inflation. As a result, home sales gross margin for the quarter came in at 22.1%, which was higher than we had forecast. The strong closing volumes also led to better operating leverage in the quarter, as evidenced by our SG&A ratio improving by 180 basis points year-over-year. We will continue to balance our growth objectives against our efforts to improve profitability in each of our markets.”

Mr. Bauer concluded, “Equally important are our ongoing efforts to improve returns. We remain focused on ways in which we can be more efficient with our capital and believe we can improve our return profile over time through a combination of better operating leverage, quicker inventory turns and additional share repurchases. We believe these initiatives will drive returns higher and create more value for our shareholders over time.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)

In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables reconcile homebuilding gross margin percentage, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the non-GAAP measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage has on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)

The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the non-GAAP ratio of net debt-to-net capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-net capital is a relevant financial measure for management and investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain financing.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)

The following table calculates the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA means net income before (a) interest expense, (b) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales, (c) income taxes and (d) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before (e) amortization of stock-based compensation, (f) impairments and lot option abandonments, (g) early loan termination costs and (h) restructuring charges. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of the Company’s ability to service debt and obtain financing.

We believe reflecting these adjustments is useful to investors in understanding our recurring operations by eliminating the varying effects of certain non-routine events, and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other homebuilders to the extent they provide similar information.
