ATLANTA, August 1, 2024 - Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024.
“Despite an affordability challenged new home sales environment and shifting consumer sentiment, we generated healthy results and continued to make progress towards our multi-year goals,” said Allan P. Merrill, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue growth and cost control led to $53.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA and $0.88 of earnings per diluted share. We also repurchased approximately 450,000 shares of our common stock.”
Speaking to the Company’s multi-year goals, Mr. Merrill continued, “During the quarter we significantly increased our controlled lot position - primarily through options - providing clear visibility into our community count growth. Additionally, related to our Zero Energy Ready pledge, over 90% of our quarterly starts met this standard, and we reached the milestone of having certified more Zero Energy Ready homes to the DOE's Single Family National Program requirements than any builder in the country.”
Looking further out, Mr. Merrill concluded, "We're optimistic about the long-term prospects for the new home industry and Beazer in particular. With our experienced operating team, ample lot supply, healthy balance sheet, and industry-leading energy efficient homes, we're well-positioned to drive sustainable value for our shareholders in the years ahead.”

The following provides additional details on the Company's performance during the fiscal third quarter 2024:
Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $27.2 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $0.88. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $53.5 million was down $19.3 million, or 26.5%, primarily due to lower operating margin.
Orders. Net new orders for the third quarter decreased to 1,070, down 10.8% from 1,200 in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by a 23.9% decrease in sales pace to 2.4 orders per community per month, down from 3.2 in the prior year quarter, partially offset by a 17.2% increase in average community count to 146 from 124 a year ago. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 18.6%, up from 16.1% in the prior year quarter.
Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of June 30, 2024 was $1.05 billion, representing 1,949 homes, compared to $1.01 billion, representing 1,941 homes, at the same time last year. The ASP of homes in backlog was $536.9 thousand, up 3.2% versus the prior year quarter.
Homebuilding Revenue. Third quarter homebuilding revenue was $589.6 million, up 3.3% year-over-year. The increase in homebuilding revenue was driven by a 4.5% increase in home closings to 1,167 homes, partially offset by a 1.1% decrease in the ASP to $505.3 thousand. The increase in closings was primarily due to higher beginning backlog as well as improved construction cycle times.
Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin (excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest) was 20.3% for the third quarter, down from 23.4% in the prior year quarter as a result of increased share of speculative home closings which generally have lower margins than "to be built" homes, changes in product and community mix, and an increase in closing cost incentives.
SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 11.9% for the quarter, up 40 basis points year-over-year primarily due to higher commissions expense and higher sales and marketing costs as the Company prepares for new community activations.
Land Position. For the current fiscal quarter, land acquisition and land development spending was $201.1 million, up 52.7% year-over-year. Controlled lots increased 24.9% to 28,365, compared to 22,719 from the prior year quarter. Excluding land held for future development and land held for sale lots, active lots controlled were 27,822, up 26.1% year-over-year. As of June 30, 2024, the Company controlled 55.5% of its total active lots through option agreements compared to 52.2% as of June 30, 2023.
Share Repurchases. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $12.9 million of its outstanding common stock through open market transactions at an average price per share of $28.41.
Liquidity. At the close of the third quarter, the Company had $328.2 million of available liquidity, including $73.2 million of unrestricted cash and $255.0 million of remaining capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility, compared to total available liquidity of $541.1 million a year ago.

During the quarter, the Company continued to exhibit leadership and commitment in advancing environmental, social and governance initiatives.
The Company remains dedicated to continually enhancing the energy efficiency of its homes in support of its industry-first pledge that, by the end of 2025, every new home the Company starts will be Zero Energy Ready, which means it will meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Zero Energy Ready Home program. By the end of the third quarter, the Company had Zero Energy Ready homes under construction in every division, consisting of 93% of new home starts. Notably, Beazer Homes has now certified more homes to the DOE's Single Family National Program requirements than any other home builder.
Exhibiting recognition for the Company's commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive and fulfilling workplace culture, Beazer Homes was named to the 2024-2025 U.S. News Best Companies to Work For by U.S. News and World Report.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things:
•the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and deterioration in homebuilding industry conditions;
•other economic changes nationally and in local markets, including declines in employment levels, increases in the number of foreclosures and wage levels, each of which are outside our control and may impact consumer confidence and affect the affordability of, and demand for, the homes we sell;
•elevated mortgage interest rates for prolonged periods, as well as further increases and reduced availability of mortgage financing due to, among other factors, additional actions by the Federal Reserve to address sharp increases in inflation;
•financial institution disruptions, such as the bank failures that occurred in 2023;
•continued supply chain challenges negatively impacting our homebuilding production, including shortages of raw materials and other critical components such as windows, doors, and appliances;
•continued shortages of or increased costs for labor used in housing production, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by such labor;
•inaccurate estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog), as they are subject to various cancellation risks that cannot be fully controlled;
•factors affecting margins, such as adjustments to home pricing, increased sales incentives and mortgage rate buy down programs in order to remain competitive;
•decreased revenues;
•decreased land values underlying land option agreements;
•increased land development costs in communities under development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce our cycle times and production and overhead cost structures;
•not being able to pass on cost increases (including cost increases due to increasing the energy efficiency of our homes) through pricing increases;
•the availability and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our inventory;
•our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital, due to factors such as limitations in the capital markets (including market volatility), adverse credit market conditions and financial institution disruptions, and our ability to otherwise meet our ongoing liquidity needs (which could cause us to fail to meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under our various debt instruments and therefore trigger an acceleration of a significant portion or all of our outstanding debt obligations), including the impact of any downgrades of our credit ratings or reduction in our liquidity levels;
•market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital);
•changes in tax laws or otherwise regarding the deductibility of mortgage interest expenses and real estate taxes, including those resulting from regulatory guidance and interpretations issued with respect thereto, such as the IRS's recent guidance regarding heightened qualification requirements for federal credits for building energy-efficient homes;
•increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design;
•natural disasters or other related events that could result in delays in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease demand in the impacted areas;
•terrorist acts, protests and civil unrest, political uncertainty, acts of war or other factors over which the Company has no control, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Gaza strip;
•potential negative impacts of public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic;
•the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets;
•increases in corporate tax rates;
•potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or governmental policies, including those related to the environment;
•the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations;
•the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims;
•the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds, as well as the sufficiency of these instruments to cover potential losses incurred;
•the impact of information technology failures, cybersecurity issues or data security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents impacting third-party service providers that we depend on to conduct our business;
•the impact of governmental regulations on homebuilding in key markets, such as regulations limiting the availability of water and electricity (including availability of electrical equipment such as transformers and meters); and
•the success of our ESG initiatives, including our ability to meet our goal that by the end of 2025 every home we start will be Zero Energy Ready, as well as the success of any other related partnerships or pilot programs we may enter into in order to increase the energy efficiency of our homes and prepare for a Zero Energy Ready future.

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin excluding impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales (each a non-GAAP financial measure) to their most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that this information assists investors in comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective level of impairments and level of debt. These non-GAAP financial measures 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.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to total company net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing core operating results and underlying business trends by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position, level of impairments, and other non-recurring items. This non-GAAP financial measure 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.

(a) "LTM" indicates amounts for the trailing 12 months.
(b) In periods during which we impaired certain of our inventory assets, capitalized interest that is impaired is included in the line above titled "Interest amortized to home construction and land sales expenses and capitalized interest impaired."
(c) We previously held a minority interest in a technology company specializing in digital marketing for new home communities, which was sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. In exchange for the previously held investment, we received cash in escrow along with a minority partnership interest in the acquiring company, which was recorded within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting gain of $8.6 million from this transaction was recognized in other income, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company believes excluding this one-time gain from Adjusted EBITDA provides a better reflection of the Company's performance as this item is not representative of our core operations.
Reconciliation of net debt to net capitalization ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) to total debt to total capitalization ratio, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period below. Management believes that net debt to net capitalization ratio is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. This non-GAAP financial measure 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.
