Insights
The reported financial results from Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. indicate a mixed performance. While net new home orders saw a substantial year-over-year increase of 143%, this was set against a backdrop of decreased home sales revenue and deliveries, down by 17% and 10% respectively. The reduction in the average sales price of homes delivered, from $746,000 to $685,000, suggests a potential shift in the market mix or a strategic pricing response to the changing mortgage rate environment.
Additionally, the increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of home sales revenue, up by 170 basis points, warrants attention as it impacts overall profitability. This could reflect higher operational costs or investments in growth, which is supported by the company's expansion into new markets. The share repurchase program indicates confidence in the company's valuation and a commitment to returning value to shareholders.
Looking ahead, the projected delivery range and average sales price for Q1 2024, along with the gross margin and SG&A expense guidance, provide a cautious outlook. The effective tax rate remaining stable at 26.5% offers some predictability in financial planning. Investors should monitor the company's ability to maintain margins and control costs amidst market shifts.
The housing market dynamics as described by the COO of Tri Pointe Homes, including strong demand from younger generations and a more normalized supply chain, are indicative of a potentially resilient sector. However, the decrease in average sales price in backlog suggests that the company may be adjusting to market affordability issues or diversifying their product offerings.
The notable fluctuation in mortgage interest rates during Q4 2023, with rates peaking above 8%, followed by a decline, likely contributed to the increased order activity. This volatility in interest rates can significantly influence buyer behavior, as seen by the lower cancellation rate of 12% compared to the previous year's 42%. The housing market's fundamentals, coupled with the low resale supply, may continue to bolster the industry, but the company's performance will depend on its ability to adapt to changing economic conditions and consumer preferences.
The strategic growth into new markets, such as Utah, the Coastal Carolinas and Florida, reflects a long-term vision for expansion. The company's focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet and liquidity position is crucial for supporting this growth and capitalizing on new opportunities.
The financial performance of Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. can be partially understood in the context of broader economic trends. The housing market is often sensitive to macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, consumer confidence and overall economic growth. The reported rapid decrease in mortgage interest rates in late 2023 likely played a role in the company's increased order activity, illustrating the elasticity of demand in response to borrowing costs.
The company's strategic decision to repurchase shares and the emphasis on a strong balance sheet reflect a prudent approach in an environment where economic indicators may signal caution. The housing market's current state, with its historical high market share of total home sales, could be challenged if economic headwinds such as inflation or a potential recession affect consumer purchasing power.
In the long term, demographic trends like household formations and generational shifts in homebuying preferences will be significant factors in driving demand for new homes. These trends, along with the company's strategic growth initiatives, will be critical in determining Tri Pointe Homes' market position and financial health.

Mr. Bauer continued, “In the fourth quarter of 2023, our industry saw a notable change in mortgage interest rates, peaking above
“We remain encouraged by the fundamentals of the housing market, including household formations, strong demand from Millennial and Gen-Z buyers, a more normalized supply chain, and shorter cycle times,” stated Tri Pointe Homes President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “These dynamics, along with the lack of resale supply, should continue to support the homebuilding industry, whose market share of total home sales sits at historical highs.”
Mr. Bauer concluded, “As a growth-oriented company, we are focused on growing scale in our existing markets and targeting new markets through organic startups or M&A. Last year, we announced our organic entry into Utah, and we are actively looking for growth in the Southeast by expanding our footprint into the Coastal Carolinas and Florida markets.

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 financial measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage and non-cash impairments and lot option abandonments, as applicable, have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who may 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.

(1) The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing debt by the sum of debt plus equity.
(2) The ratio of net debt-to-net capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus equity.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
(unaudited)
The following table calculates the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income available to common stockholders, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA means net income available to common stockholders 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 and (f) real estate inventory impairments and lot option abandonments. 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.
