Taylor Morrison Reports First Quarter Closings of 1,938, an increase of 25% over the prior year quarter, and Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.46

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 1, 2019 –– Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC) today reported first quarter total revenue of $925 million and GAAP home closings gross margin, inclusive of capitalized interest, of 18.2 percent, leading to diluted earnings per share of $0.46.

First Quarter 2019 Highlights:

• Net sales orders were 2,615, a 7% increase over the prior year quarter

• Home closings were 1,938, a 25% increase over the prior year quarter

• Total revenue was $925 million, a 23% increase over the prior year quarter

• GAAP home closings gross margin was 18.2%

• SG&A as a percent of home closings revenue was 11.5%, compared to 11.9% during Q1 2018

• Net income was $51 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.46

“I’m proud of our strong first quarter performance and delighted that we exceeded our expectations in our operating metrics for the quarter including: orders, closings, home closings gross margin, SG&A and earnings per share,” said Sheryl Palmer, Chairman and CEO of Taylor Morrison.

For the first quarter, net sales orders were 2,615, with an average community count of 372. The Company ended the quarter with 4,835 units in backlog, a year-over-year increase of 10 percent, with a sales value of almost $2.4 billion.

“For the quarter, closings totaled 1,938, representing a 25% increase over the same period last year,” added Palmer. “We have been focused on smart growth for some time now as shown by our four acquisitions in the past four years, allowing us to gain scale in a meaningful way. As a result of the teams’ hard work, we set all-time first quarter highs for the company in both sales and closings.”

“We believe the homebuilding market remains strong given a solid, growing economy, 30-year mortgage rates near four percent, stock market indexes near all-time highs and underbuilt markets with historically low inventory levels,” said Palmer. “We continue to see strength in many segments of our markets including our 55-plus communities, which saw nice sales momentum during the quarter.”

“On Earth Day, we released our first Corporate Responsibility Report, addressing our approach to environmental, social and governance issues,” said Palmer. “We are committed to incorporating sustainable values into how we operate our business and continue to grow and refine our environmental, social and governance reporting. As part of these efforts, we are proud to partner with the National Wildlife Foundation to help us with habitat conservation best practices and other engagement opportunities for our customers and team members.”

“SG&A as a percentage of homebuilding revenue came in at 11.5%, which represented 40 basis points of leverage when compared to first quarter 2018. The addition of AV Homes is allowing us to drive top-line leverage,” said Dave Cone, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our earnings before income taxes as a percent of total revenue was 7.4%, or 7.8% when adjusted for AV transaction expenses during the quarter.”

Homebuilding inventories were $4.1 billion at the end of the quarter, including 6,153 homes in inventory, compared to 5,053 homes in inventory at the end of the prior year quarter. Homes in inventory at the end of the quarter consisted of 3,544 sold units, 492 model homes and 2,117 inventory units, of which 561 were finished.

The Company finished the quarter with $172 million in cash and a net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio of 44.3%. As of March 31, 2019, Taylor Morrison owned or controlled approximately 55,000 lots, representing 5.4 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 first quarter 2019 included 4.3 million shares acquired for about $77 million, or an average repurchase price of $17.93. Second quarter repurchases through April 26 amounted to 1.4 million shares for just under $27 million, or an average repurchase price of $18.63. As of that date, we had approximately $49 million remaining on the current $100 million share repurchase authorization.

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. 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.
