For the quarter, the Company reported pretax income of $14.9 million, and net income of $11.1 million, or $0.30 per share. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $15.9 million or $0.44 per share and adjusted gross margin was 22.8%. Reported pretax income for the prior year period was $12.5 million with net income of $8.6 million, or $0.22 per share. For the prior year period, adjusted net income was $11.7 million, or $0.30 per share and adjusted gross margin was 24.0%.

    Management Commentary

    “Landsea Homes delivered strong top and bottom-line growth in the third quarter of 2024, as new home deliveries increased 40% year-over-year,” said John Ho, Chief Executive Officer of Landsea Homes. “Home sales gross margin came in above our stated guidance range at 17.1%, and SG&A as a percent of home sales revenue improved 250 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2023. The net result was earnings of $0.30 per diluted share, representing a 36% improvement over the prior year period.”

    Mr. Ho continued, “We saw solid demand in our markets during the quarter, as our High Performance Homes and attractive financing incentives to aid with affordability continued to appeal to homebuyers. Housing fundamentals continue to favor the public builders, driven by a lack of existing home inventory, steady demand and a resilient economy. We believe these factors serve as an excellent backdrop for our company, as we look to grow our existing operations.”

    Mr. Ho concluded, “We are starting to see the benefits of our increased size through better terms and pricing from our trade partners and suppliers. We believe this dynamic will continue to benefit our company at the local and national level as we become a bigger player within the industry. With an established presence in several high-growth markets, a differentiated product offering and a solid and improving balance sheet, Landsea Homes is well positioned to finish 2024 on a strong note and carry momentum into the new year.”

    Operating Results

    Total revenue was $338.5 million in the third quarter, up 22% compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily driven by a 40% increase in homes closed partially offset by a 10% decrease in average selling price as both Texas and Colorado contributed to our volume.

    New homes delivered increased 40.4% to 629 homes at an average sales price of $518,000, a 10% decrease, compared to 448 homes delivered at an average sales price of $576,000 in the third quarter of 2023.

    Net new home orders were up 28.8% to 626 homes with a dollar value of $307.6 million, an average sales price of $491,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 2.5 sales per active community. This compares to 486 homes with a dollar value of $285.0 million, an average sales price of $587,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 2.7 sales per active community in the prior year period. As a percentage of gross orders, cancellations equaled 11% as compared to 9% a year ago.

    Total homes in backlog were 691 homes with a dollar value of $373.1 million and an average sales price of $540,000 at September 30, 2024. This compares to 760 homes with a dollar value of $482.7 million and an average sales price of $635,000 at September 30, 2023.

    Total lots owned or controlled at September 30, 2024, were 11,868 compared to 11,203 at September 30, 2023. We continue to pursue an asset-light strategy, controlling 56% of our lots at the end of the third quarter of 2024 and 44% owned.

    Home sales gross margin was 17.1% compared to 18.7% in the prior year period. Adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) was 22.8% compared to 24.0% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributed to an elevated level of sales discounts and incentives as well as higher interest costs.

    Net income attributable to Landsea Homes increased 29% to $11.1 million compared to $8.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to Landsea Homes (a non-GAAP measure) was $15.9 million compared to $11.7 million in the prior year period. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis was $0.30, a 36% increase compared to $0.22 in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income per share (a non-GAAP measure) on a fully diluted basis was $0.44 compared to $0.30 in the third quarter of 2023.

    Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $37.7 million compared to $28.7 million in the prior year period.

    Home Sales Gross Margins

    Home sales gross margin measures the price achieved on delivered homes compared to the costs needed to build the home. In the following table, we calculate gross margins adjusting for interest in cost of sales, inventory impairments, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company's operating results in accordance with GAAP. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the below information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that indebtedness, impairments, and acquisitions have on our gross margins and allows for comparability to previous periods and competitors.

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

    The following table presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in evaluating operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense (benefit), (ii) interest expenses, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) inventory impairments, (v) purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, (vi) loss on debt modification, (vii) transaction costs related to the Merger and business combinations, (viii) write-off of deferred offering costs, and (ix) abandoned projects costs. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest, effective tax rates, levels of depreciation and amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. Accordingly, we believe this measure is useful for comparing our core operating performance from period to period. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

    Adjusted Net Income

    Adjusted Net Income attributable to Landsea Homes is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating and understanding our operating results without the effect of certain expenses that were historically pushed down by our parent company and other non-recurring items. We believe excluding these items provides a more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. Adjusted Net Income attributable to Landsea Homes is calculated by excluding the effects of related party interest that was pushed down by our parent company, purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, loss on debt modification, and inventory impairment, and tax-effected using a blended statutory tax rate. We also adjust for the expense of related party interest pushed down from our parent company as we have no obligation to repay the debt and related interest.

    Net Debt to Total Capital

    The following table presents the ratio of debt to capital as well as the ratio of net debt to total capital which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ratio of debt to capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total debt, net of issuance costs, by total capital (sum of total debt, net of issuance costs, plus total equity).

    The non-GAAP ratio of net debt to total capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt, net of issuance costs, less cash and cash equivalents as well as cash held in escrow to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by total capital. The most comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. We believe the ratio of net debt to total capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We believe that by deducting our cash from our debt, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt to capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio of net debt to total capital provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered.

    See table below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to capital.
