PRESS RELEASE
Beazer Homes Reports Significant Growth in Profitability
ATLANTA, November 14, 2017 - Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.
“Our fourth quarter results contributed to an exceptionally productive year for the Company,” said Allan Merrill, President and CEO of Beazer Homes. “We generated improvements in virtually every operational metric - including ASP, sales pace, gross margin and overhead leverage - which led to substantially higher profitability, and we launched our Gatherings business in multiple markets. We also increased our balance sheet flexibility and reduced cash interest expense - highlighted by a major capital markets transaction that was announced in the last week of the fiscal year.”
“Looking into Fiscal 2018, we expect additional growth in profitability, likely culminating in the achievement of our ‘2B-10’ goals, further expansion of our Gatherings business, and the completion of our multi-year debt reduction program.”
Beazer Homes Fiscal 2017 Highlights and Comparison to Fiscal 2016
• | Net income from continuing operations of $32.0 million |
• | Adjusted EBITDA of $178.8 million, up 14.4% |

• | SG&A as a percentage of total revenue was 12.2%, down 10 basis points. This excludes a $2.7 million charge related to the write-off of a legacy investment in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 |
• | Unit orders of 5,464, up 3.2%. Average community count was 155, down 6.7% |

Beazer Homes Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2017 Highlights and Comparison to Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2016

• | Adjusted EBITDA of $76.9 million, up 16.6% |

• | Homebuilding gross margin was 17.0%. Excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest, homebuilding gross margin was 22.0%, up 120 basis points |
• | SG&A as a percentage of total revenue was 10.5%, down 10 basis points |

Orders. Net new orders for the fourth quarter decreased 2.3% versus the prior year. This slight decline was anticipated, as several markets were negatively impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma during the closing weeks of the fiscal year. Even with the impact from these storms, the Company generated an absorption rate of 2.85 sales per community per month, up 2.8% from the previous year. This partially offset a 4.9% year over year decline in the average community
count to 154 communities. The cancellation rate was 20.6%, relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of last year and in line with historical levels.
Homebuilding Revenue. Homebuilding revenue for the fourth quarter increased 7.3% over the prior year to $665.5 million, as the average selling price rose 4.6% to $349.5 thousand. Despite temporary delays caused by the recent storms, fourth quarter closings of 1,904 homes were 2.6% above the level achieved in the same period last year.
Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of September 30, 2017 increased 2.0% to $665.8 million, or 1,855 homes, which compared to $652.7 million, or 1,916 homes, for the same period last year. The decrease in backlog units was more than offset by a 5.4% increase in the average selling price of homes in backlog to $358.9 thousand.
Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin for the fourth quarter was 17.0%. Excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest, homebuilding gross margin was 22.0%, up 120 basis points versus the prior year. The fourth quarter gross margin benefited from a number of one-time items, which added approximately 70 basis points to our overall margin improvement.
SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue, were 10.5%, down 10 basis points versus the prior year. The improvement in operating leverage was attributable to both the strong top line growth achieved and a continued focus on overhead cost management. For the full year, SG&A as a percentage of total revenue was 12.2%. This excludes a $2.7 million charge related to the write-off of a legacy investment in the first quarter. Including this charge, SG&A as a percentage of total revenue would have been 12.4%.
Taxes. The Company’s fourth quarter income tax provision included non-cash benefits of approximately $9.5 million, of which $6.0 million related to Federal tax credits from energy-efficient homebuilding, with the remaining $3.5 million related to a change to our valuation allowance. The Company’s effective annual tax rate, excluding one-time benefits, was in line with past guidance of 38%.
Liquidity. The Company ended the quarter with approximately $437.4 million of available liquidity, including $292.1 million of unrestricted cash and $145.3 million available on its secured revolving credit facility. Subsequent to its fiscal year-end, the Company announced it had increased the capacity of its secured revolving credit facility to $200 million from $180 million and extended the maturity by one year to February 2020.
Capital Markets. On September 25, 2017, the Company announced it would issue $400 million of 5.875% unsecured Senior Notes due 2027. The transaction closed in early October and the proceeds, combined with cash on the balance sheet, were used to retire $225 million of its 5.750% Senior Notes due 2019 and $175 million of its 7.250% Senior Notes due 2023 in a leverage-neutral refinancing transaction.
Gatherings
During the fourth quarter, the Company approved its second Gatherings community in the Dallas market. For the full year, Gatherings sites representing more than 400 future sales were approved in Dallas, Atlanta and Virginia. The Company is currently reviewing a large pipeline of potential communities which exceeds 2,000 homes and is spread across its geographic footprint.
Summary results for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2017 are as follows:

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin before impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales to homebuilding gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, 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.
In addition, given the unusual size and nature of the charges recorded related to the Florida stucco issues, as well as additional insurance recoveries from a third-party insurer, homebuilding gross profit and gross margin is also shown excluding these charges. Management believes that this representation best reflects the operating characteristics of the Company.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to total company net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position and level of impairments. These EBITDA measures should not be considered alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.
The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to total company net income (loss) below differs from the prior year, as it provides a more simplified presentation of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that excludes certain non-recurring amounts recorded during the periods presented. Management believes that this presentation best reflects the operating characteristics of the Company.
