PRESS RELEASE
Beazer Homes Reports Strong Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results
ATLANTA, May 4, 2017 - Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017.
“We had a terrific second quarter - with improvements in both home sales and closings, higher average sales prices, better gross margins and a lower SG&A ratio, all contributing to a substantial increase in EBITDA,” said Allan Merrill, Beazer’s President and CEO. “We also positioned ourselves for future growth through increased land spending, expansion of our Gatherings business and the strengthening of our balance sheet.”
Mr. Merrill continued, “Our selling proposition - to provide extraordinary value at an affordable price to Millennial and Active Adult buyers - is perfectly aligned with both our operating experience and powerful demographic trends. That’s why we remain confident in our ability to drive significant improvements in returns and profitability in the years ahead.”
The Company reported a loss for the quarter of $7.5 million, including a $15.6 million loss from the early extinguishment of debt incurred as part of the Company’s refinancing activity. Excluding that charge, as well as abandonment and impairment costs in the quarter, net income would have been approximately $2.5 million.
Beazer Homes Fiscal Second Quarter 2017 Highlights and Comparison to Fiscal Second Quarter 2016:
• | Adjusted EBITDA for the current quarter was $33.2 million, up $7.0 million, or nearly 27% over the prior year quarter. |
• | Revenue was higher by 11.8% due to a 7.7% increase in home closings and 3.8% increase in average selling price. |
• | Homebuilding gross margin excluding interest, impairments and abandonments was 20.7%, up 50 basis points, driven by increased home prices as well as the Company’s cost control and improved cycle time initiatives. |
Other Operational Highlights:
• | Sales per community per month of 3.4, up 9% |
• | New home orders, net of 1,549, up 0.7% |
• | Dollar value of homes in backlog of $776.4 million, up 0.4%, driven by an increase in the average selling price of homes in backlog of $347.2 thousand, up more than $11 thousand year-over-year |
• | Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) as a percentage of total revenue was 13.3%, an improvement of 60 basis points |
• | Land and land development spending of $102.9 million, up 23.1% |
• | Total available liquidity at quarter end of $279.5 million, including $138.8 million of unrestricted cash and $140.7 million available on the Company’s revolving credit facility. |
Gatherings Update
Since the beginning of the second quarter, the Company has accelerated operational and land investments in its Gatherings active adult communities. Ground breaking took place on the Company’s first Orlando Gatherings community in the Lake Nona master-planned development. That site will ultimately provide more than 200 homes and will be open for sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Other sites were approved for purchase representing more than 240 homes, and the Company is currently reviewing a pipeline of future potential communities that exceeds 2,000 homes. On May 18th, the Company will host an event in New York City for institutional investors to further explain this rapidly expanding component of the Company’s business.

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 (net of expected insurance recoveries) recorded related to the Florida stucco issues, homebuilding gross profit is also shown excluding these charges. Management believes that this representation best reflects the operating characteristics of the Company.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, debt extinguishment, impairments and abandonments) 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.
In addition, given the unusual size and nature of certain amounts recorded during the periods presented, Adjusted EBITDA is also shown excluding these amounts. Management believes that this representation best reflects the operating characteristics of the Company.
