Taylor Morrison Reports Fourth Quarter 2020 Results, Including 31% Year-Over-Year Growth to 3.4 Net Sales Orders per Community

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC), the nation's fifth largest homebuilder, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2020. The Company reported net income of $94 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, up 41 percent from the prior-year period. Adjusted net income was $115 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, after excluding transaction-related expenses and other unusual items.

The Company's fourth quarter included the following results, as compared to the prior-year quarter:

    --  Monthly absorptions increased 31 percent to 3.4 net sales orders per
        community, among the highest levels in its public company history.
    --  Total revenue increased six percent to $1.6 billion.
    --  GAAP home closings gross margin increased 410 basis points to 18.3
        percent.
    --  Adjusted home closings gross margin, exclusive of purchase accounting
        and other charges, increased 110 basis points to 19.0 percent.
    --  SG&A as a percentage of home closings revenue declined 40 basis points
        to 9.6 percent.

"Our fourth quarter results reflect the vibrant housing market and the initial traction we are seeing as a combined organization following our acquisition of William Lyon Homes one year ago," said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO. "We drove 46 percent year-over-year growth in net sales orders, a 110 basis point sequential improvement in our home closings gross margin and ended the year with a company-record backlog of more than 8,400 homes valued at over $4.2 billion."

"Following years of strategic growth into one of the country's leading homebuilders with deep penetration across our markets and a well-balanced product portfolio that serves the needs of today's homebuyers, our top priority in 2021 is demonstrating the financial and operational benefits of our enhanced scale through an unrelenting focus on operational effectiveness and capital efficiency. We are committed to driving improved returns that are reflective of our market depth, efficient homebuilding operations and valuable land portfolio, and expect 2021 to be a pivotal year for our organization."

"After exceeding our deleveraging targets over the last twelve months, we now expect to build on the positive momentum and further reduce our net debt-to-capitalization to the low-30 percent range by the end of 2021. Equipped with strong operating cash flow and $1.3 billion in liquidity, we have the financial flexibility to achieve our capital allocation priorities to enhance the long-term value of our company by investing in our core homebuilding business and growing build-to-rent operations, reducing our net debt and returning excess capital to shareholders via share repurchases," said Dave Cone, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Business Highlights (All comparisons are of the current quarter to the prior-year quarter, unless otherwise indicated.)

Homebuilding

    --  Net sales orders increased 46 percent to 3,724, driven by strength
        across geographies and consumer segments.
    --  Monthly absorptions increased 31 percent to 3.4 net sales orders per
        community, tied with the second highest level in the company's public
        history behind only last quarter's record sales pace of 3.8.
    --  Average community count increased 11 percent to 368, although this was
        down six percent from 393 in the third quarter of 2020 due to
        accelerated close-outs of existing communities from strong sales
        activity that outpaced new community openings. Management currently
        anticipates modest community growth beginning in late 2022 before a more
        meaningful increase in 2023.
    --  Home closings revenue increased five percent to $1.5 billion, driven by
        a seven percent increase in average sales price to approximately
        $483,000, partially offset by a two percent decline in closings.
    --  GAAP home closings gross margin increased 410 basis points to 18.3
        percent.
    --  After excluding the impact of purchase accounting and other charges,
        adjusted home closings gross margin increased 110 basis points to 19.0
        percent.
    --  SG&A as a percentage of home closings revenue decreased 40 basis points
        to 9.6 percent.
    --  The Company had 8,403 units in backlog, up 78 percent, with a sales
        value of $4.2 billion, up 86 percent.

Land Portfolio

    --  The Company invested $370 million in land and development during the
        quarter and $1.4 billion during the year.
    --  Total homebuilding lot supply equaled approximately 70,000, of which 69
        percent was owned and 31 percent was controlled. Based on trailing
        twelve-month home closings, this represented 5.5 years of total supply
        and 3.8 years of owned supply.

Financial Services

    --  The financial services' capture rate increased to 85 percent in the
        fourth quarter from 80 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019, reaching
        the highest level in our company history.

Balance Sheet

    --  At quarter end, total available liquidity equaled approximately $1.3
        billion, including $533 million of unrestricted cash and $736 million of
        undrawn capacity on the Company's $800 million corporate revolver.
    --  The net debt-to-capitalization ratio declined 290 basis points
        sequentially to 38.7 percent from 41.6 percent at the end of the third
        quarter.
    --  The company currently anticipates its net debt-to-capitalization ratio
        to fall further to the low-30 percent range by year-end 2021 versus its
        prior expectation of high-30 percent.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we have provided information in this press release relating to: (i) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (ii) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, (iii) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, (iv) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio, and (v) adjusted home closings gross margin.

Adjusted income before income taxes (and related margin) is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects our income before income taxes excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of William Lyon Homes ("WLH"), transaction expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, inventory impairment and warranty charges and legal costs relating thereto and the write-off of our Chicago operations, as applicable. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude interest income/(expense), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), non-cash compensation expense, if any, purchase accounting adjustments relating to the acquisition of WLH, transaction expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, inventory impairment and warranty charges and legal costs relating thereto and the write-off of our Chicago operations, as applicable. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the net income available to the Company excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments relating to the acquisition of WLH, transaction expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, inventory impairment and warranty charges and legal costs relating thereto, the write-off of our Chicago operations and the tax impact due to such adjustments, as applicable. Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, less unamortized debt issuance costs/premiums 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). Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure based on GAAP home closings gross margin (which is inclusive of capitalized interest), excluding purchase accounting adjustments relating to the acquisition of WLH and inventory impairment and warranty charges, as applicable.

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. A reconciliation of our forward-looking net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. 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, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, 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 metrics assist 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. We believe that adjusted home closings gross margin is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the varying effects of items or transactions we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance.

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.
