“2015 was a banner year for our Company,” said TRI Pointe Group Chief Executive Officer Doug Bauer. “Revenues increased 41% versus 2014, and earnings per share more than doubled. We also met or exceeded our stated guidance for home closings, homebuilding gross margin and SG&A leverage. These results reflect the strides we have made since the close of the WRECO acquisition nineteen months ago and should give us a great foundation upon which to build in 2016.”
GAAP Fourth Quarter 2015 Operating Results
Net income available to common stockholders was $85.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to net income of $41.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2014. The improvement in net income available to common stockholders was primarily driven by an increase of $64.1 million in homebuilding gross margin due to higher home sales revenue resulting from a 30% increase in new home deliveries, offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the provision for income taxes.
Home sales revenue increased $224.4 million or 36% to $847.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to $623.0 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was attributable to a 30% increase in new home deliveries to 1,453 and a 5% increase in the Company's average sales price of homes delivered to $583,000. New home deliveries increased at five of our six reporting segments with the highest increase at TRI Pointe Homes, which was up 203 units, or 83% compared to the prior year, while delivering at an average sales price of $696,000.
New home orders increased 5% to 753 homes for the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to 714 homes for the same period in 2014. Average active selling communities increased to 112.8 as compared to 105.6 for the same period in the prior year, mainly due to TRI Pointe Homes which increased average active selling communities by 5.7 in the current year. The Company’s overall quarterly absorption rate per average selling community for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015 decreased slightly to 6.7 orders (2.23 monthly) compared to 6.8 orders (2.25 monthly) during the same period in 2014.
The Company ended the quarter with 1,156 homes in backlog, representing approximately $697.3 million in future home sales revenue. The average sales price of homes in backlog as of December 31, 2015 decreased $30,000, or 5%, to $603,000 compared to $633,000 at December 31, 2014.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased to 22.2% compared to 19.9% for the same period in 2014 and increased sequentially from 21.0% during the third quarter of 2015. Excluding interest and impairments and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 24.2%* for the fourth quarter of 2015 versus 22.0%* for the same period in 2014.
Selling, general and administrative expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 improved to 8.4% of home sales revenue as compared to 8.9% for the same period in 2014. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative expense ratio was primarily attributable to increased home sales revenue.
“Our homebuilding teams did an excellent job getting over 75% of our beginning backlog closed this quarter,” said TRI Pointe Group President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “Thanks to careful planning and great execution, we were able to avoid some of the construction delays that have plagued other builders and once again deliver on our stated closings guidance. We were able to achieve this goal while also improving our gross margins and SG&A as a percentage of revenue. In short, I am very pleased with the operational excellence our teams demonstrated in 2015 as we head into the spring selling season.”

Outlook
For the first quarter of 2016, the Company anticipates delivering approximately 60% of its 1,156 units in backlog as of December 31, 2015. In addition, the Company expects to open 25 new communities, and close out of 11, resulting in 118 active selling communities as of March 31, 2016.
For the full year 2016, the Company expects to grow communities by 20% and deliver between 4,200 and 4,400 homes at an average sales price of $550,000. The Company expects its homebuilding gross margin for the full year of 2016 will be in a range of 20% to 21%, with quarterly fluctuations based on the mix of California deliveries and expects SG&A expense will be in the range of 10.3% to 10.5%. In addition, the Company anticipates gross profit of between $45 million and $50 million from land and lot sales, most of which are expected to close in the second and third quarter of 2016. The Company anticipates spending between $800 million and $1.0 billion in land acquisition and land development for 2016.

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 table reconciles 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. |

The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the ratio of net debt-to-capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-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. |

The following table calculates the non-GAAP 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) income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales and (e) amortization of stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before (f) impairment and lot option abandonments (g) restructuring charges and (h) transaction related expenses. 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. |
