Second Quarter 2019 Highlights:

  • Net sales orders were 2,810, a 20% increase over the prior year quarter
  • Home closings were 2,594, a 30% increase over the prior year quarter
  • Total revenue was $1.3 billion, a 29% increase over the prior year quarter
  • GAAP home closings gross margin was 18.0%, which was flat to compared to the prior year quarter
  • SG&A as a percent of home closings revenue was 10.1%, compared to 10.5% during the prior year quarter
  • Net income was $82 million, up 38% over the prior year quarter, with diluted earnings per share of $0.76

"We continued the momentum experienced at the end of the first quarter, which led us to exceeding expectations in our key operating metrics for the second quarter," said Sheryl Palmer, Chairman and CEO of Taylor Morrison.

Today the Company is also announcing its entry into the single-family build-to-rent community space through a partnership with Christopher Todd Communities.  "With more than 16 million single-family rental homes in the U.S. today and only five percent of that share represented by new home production, it signals an early and exciting time for this new growing segment," shared Palmer.  "We believe this strategic partnership with Christopher Todd Communities and their established platform is in clear alignment with our focus to address affordability in our markets and serve more customers who desire the product and lifestyle of a single-family community while balancing finances, flexibility and maintenance-free living.  This relationship advances our demand-side diversification while leveraging what we do every day in our core business—acquiring and developing land and quality production.  What's more, this strategy will allow us to further increase the velocity of community deliveries and we expect to enhance our time and cost-efficient production process with proven and standardized specifications and a concentrated production line building process creating a rapid land-to-lease-up pipeline."

For the second quarter, net sales orders were 2,810.  Average community count was 357, which resulted in an average monthly sales pace per community of 2.6 for the quarter.  The Company ended the quarter with 5,051 units in backlog, a year-over-year increase of 7 percent, with a sales value of approximately $2.5 billion.

"Closings totaled 2,594 for the quarter, representing a 30 percent increase over the same period last year," added Palmer.  "The inventory sales environment was particularly strong during the quarter, driving our closings results above the high end of our guidance for the period.  Even with the increased inventory sales in the quarter we achieved lower incentive levels than the prior year quarter, which led to a GAAP home closings gross margin of 18 percent."

"We believe our success and strong results that we've seen so far this year are largely due to the hard work that the entire team has put into the integration of AV Homes following the acquisition," said Palmer.  "I'm proud to share that the heavy lifting required for the integration is complete and we are now operating as one company.  This has been achieved sooner than anticipated and with the integration work and negotiations complete, we are pleased to be able to take our total synergy estimate up to $50 million on an annualized basis."

"SG&A as a percentage of homebuilding revenue came in at 10.1 percent, which represented 40 basis points of leverage when compared to second quarter 2018, and the addition of AV Homes is providing further top-line leverage," said Dave Cone, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  "Given our success in holding gross margins flat to last year and the SG&A leverage we gained, EBT margin came in at 8.7 percent for the quarter.  This represents about 60 basis points of improvement when compared to Q2 2018.  This was despite about $4 million of AV transaction expenses and debt extinguishment charges hitting during the quarter."

Homebuilding inventories were $4.1 billion at the end of the quarter, including 6,523 homes in inventory, compared to 5,599 homes in inventory at the end of the prior year quarter.  Homes in inventory at the end of the quarter consisted of 3,834 sold units, 495 model homes and 2,194 inventory units, of which 440 were finished.

The Company finished the quarter with $197 million in cash and a net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio of 43.0%.  As of June 30, 2019, Taylor Morrison owned or controlled approximately 54,000 lots, representing 5.3 years of supply based on a trailing twelve months of closings including a full year of AV, and the Company is focused on securing land for 2021 and beyond.

Share repurchase activity during second quarter 2019 included 3.8 million shares acquired for about $76 million, or an average repurchase price of $19.92.  This activity exhausted the outstanding $100 million authorization and no additional authorization is currently in place.  Since the acquisition of AV Homes, the Company has acquired 16.9 million shares for $296 million, or an average price of $17.51.  This is nearly double the amount of shares that were issued for the transaction and below the price of the shares issued to complete the deal.

The Company has also recently completed two senior notes offerings.  In early June, the Company completed a $500 million offering with an interest rate of 5.875%.  These proceeds, along with cash on hand, were used to redeem the $550 million of 2021 senior notes that were previously outstanding.  In mid-July, the Company offered $450 million of notes with a 5.75% interest rate.  These proceeds will be used to redeem the $400 million of 2022 senior notes outstanding.  These transactions ensure that all senior debt outstanding for the Company now have an interest rate below 6.0% and they push the nearest senior note maturity out to 2023.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following tables set forth reconciliations of: (i) adjusted income before income taxes and the related margin, (ii) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income before allocation to non-controlling interests, and (iii) net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio.

Adjusted income before income taxes is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects our income before income taxes excluding the impact of significant and unusual transactions, which in the quarter were transaction expenses related to our acquisition of AV Homes, and loss on extinguishment of debt.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that measures performance by adjusting net income to exclude interest amortized to cost of sales and interest income, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, if any.  Net homebuilding debt to capitalization is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, less unamortized debt issuance costs and mortgage warehouse borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders' equity).

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our regions, and to set targets for performance-based compensation.  We also use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization as an indicator of overall leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry.  In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors.

We believe that adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metric assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business.  Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items.  Because we use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours.
