KB Home Reports 2021 Second Quarter Results

Revenues Totaled $1.44 Billion, up 58%
Diluted Earnings Per Share Grew 173% to $1.50
Gross Margin Expanded to 21.4%; Operating Income Margin Improved to 11.3%
Backlog Value Increased 126% to $4.29 Billion

LOS ANGELES--()--KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2021.

“Our second quarter results reflect the sustained strength and health of our business. In particular, our ability to optimize our assets was evident in our gross margin rising above 21%, which drove our operating margin to exceed 11%, both of which represented the best quarterly margins we have generated in many years,” said Jeffrey Mezger, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Operationally, our team remains resilient, focused on delivering exceptional customer satisfaction amid the challenges associated with the incredible demand and supply chain constraints that have characterized this housing market over the past year. As we continue to generate strong net orders, we have also been able to scale up our production, matching starts to sales.”

“With a backlog value above $4 billion, we are poised to deliver a substantial increase in revenue this year, at solid margins that we anticipate will contribute to a return on equity of roughly 20%. As we look to 2022, our backlog, together with our expected community count growth, positions our company for another year of healthy expansion.”

Three Months Ended May 31, 2021 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)

The Company’s results for the comparable 2020 quarter were adversely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extensive and restrictive public health measures implemented during that period to contain and combat the outbreak.

  • Revenues increased 58% to $1.44 billion.
  • Homes delivered rose 40% to 3,504.
  • Average selling price increased 13% to $409,800.
  • Homebuilding operating income grew 216% to $162.9 million from $51.6 million. The homebuilding operating income margin increased 560 basis points to 11.3%. Excluding $.5 million of inventory-related charges in the 2021 second quarter, and $4.4 million of inventory-related charges and $6.7 million of severance charges in the year-earlier quarter, this metric improved to 11.4% from 6.9%.
    • The housing gross profit margin expanded 320 basis points to 21.4%. Excluding inventory-related charges, the housing gross profit margin improved to 21.5% from 18.7%.
      • The housing gross profit margin improvement mainly reflected a favorable pricing environment due to the strength of housing market demand and the limited supply of available homes for sale, increased operating leverage due to higher revenues, and lower amortization of previously capitalized interest.
      • Adjusted housing gross profit margin, a metric that excludes inventory-related charges and the amortization of previously capitalized interest, increased to 24.2% from 21.9%.
    • Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues improved to 10.1% from 12.6%, primarily reflecting the continued impact from targeted actions the Company took to reduce overhead costs in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic; increased operating leverage from higher revenues; and the above-noted severance charges in the year-earlier quarter.
  • The Company’s financial services operations generated pretax income of $10.6 million, which increased 40%, mainly due to higher income from its mortgage banking joint venture, KBHS Home Loans, LLC.
    • KBHS Home Loans, LLC originated 75% of the residential mortgage loans the Company’s homebuyers obtained to finance their home purchase, achieving essentially the same level as in the year-earlier quarter.
  • Total pretax income grew 156% to $173.7 million. As a percentage of revenues, pretax income increased 470 basis points to 12.1%.
  • The Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rate were $30.3 million and approximately 17%, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $15.8 million and an effective tax rate of approximately 23%. The lower effective tax rate primarily reflected an increase in federal energy tax credits the Company earned from building energy efficient homes.
  • Net income of $143.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.50 increased 176% and 173%, respectively, compared to net income of $52.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $.55.

Six Months Ended May 31, 2021 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)

  • Homes delivered increased 21% to 6,368.
  • Average selling price rose to $404,100, up 7%.
  • Revenues of $2.58 billion were up 30%.
  • Pretax income grew 118% to $297.2 million.
  • Net income increased 115% to $240.4 million and diluted earnings per share rose 112% to $2.52.

Backlog and Net Orders (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)

  • Net orders for the quarter grew 145% to 4,300, the Company’s highest second-quarter level in 14 years, with net order value increasing by $1.35 billion, or 196%, to $2.04 billion. Both net orders and net order value rose in all of the Company’s four regions, with net order value growth ranging from 118% in the Central region to 406% in the Southeast region.
    • The cancellation rate as a percentage of gross orders for the quarter improved to 9% from 43%. The cancellation rate in the year-earlier period largely reflected the Company’s proactive efforts to assure a backlog of qualified homebuyers amid the unprecedented nationwide economic and employment disruptions resulting from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Ending backlog grew 98% to 10,034 homes, driving a 126% increase in ending backlog value to $4.29 billion. Each of the Company’s four regions generated a triple-digit increase in backlog value, ranging from 105% in the Central region to 155% in the Southeast region.
  • Strong housing demand drove an increase in the Company’s average monthly net orders per community to 7.0 from 2.4, which accelerated community closeouts during the quarter. As a result, the Company’s average community count decreased 17% to 205, and its ending community count was 200, compared to 244.

Balance Sheet as of May 31, 2021 (comparisons to November 30, 2020)

  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $608.1 million, compared to $681.2 million.
    • The Company had total liquidity of $1.40 billion, including cash and cash equivalents and $787.6 million of available capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company has not borrowed under the facility since 2019.
  • Inventories increased 10% to $4.27 billion.
    • Investments in land acquisition and development for the six months ended May 31, 2021 rose 79% to $1.13 billion, compared to $633.5 million for the year-earlier period.
    • The Company’s lots owned or under contract increased to 77,458, up 16% from November 30, 2020 and 28% year over year.
      • Of the Company’s total lots, approximately 55% were owned and 45% were under contract.
      • The Company’s 42,733 owned lots represented a supply of approximately 3.6 years, based on homes delivered in the trailing 12 months.
  • Notes payable of $1.75 billion were essentially unchanged.
    • The Company’s debt to capital ratio improved 190 basis points to 37.7%. The Company’s net debt to capital ratio of 28.3% improved 30 basis points. On a year-over-year basis, the debt to capital ratio and net debt to capital ratio improved 380 basis points and 410 basis points, respectively.
    • In May 2021, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the Company’s corporate credit rating to Ba2 from Ba3 and changed the rating outlook to stable from positive.
  • On June 9, 2021, the Company completed the issuance of $390.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.00% senior notes due 2031, and used a portion of the net proceeds to purchase, pursuant to a tender offer that expired the previous day, $269.8 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding $450.0 million of 7.00% senior notes due December 15, 2021. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds together with cash on hand to redeem the remainder of these notes at par value on September 15, 2021.
    • The Company expects to recognize a charge of approximately $5.0 million for the early extinguishment of debt in the 2021 third quarter.
    • The recently completed transactions, together with the planned redemption of the remaining $180.2 million of 7.00% senior notes on September 15, 2021, will effectively extend the weighted average maturity of the Company’s senior notes by more than two years and reduce its weighted average borrowing rate by approximately 70 basis points.

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) News

  • On April 13, 2021, the Company was named an ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year — Sustained Excellence Award Winner for the 11th consecutive year by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Company has built over 150,000 ENERGY STAR certified homes, more than any other homebuilder in the nation.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In Thousands, Except Percentages - Unaudited)

This press release contains, and Company management’s discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin and ratio of net debt to capital, neither of which is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful to investors in understanding its operations and the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. However, because they are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to other companies in the homebuilding industry and, thus, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, these non-GAAP financial measures should be used to supplement their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations.

(a) Represents inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges associated with housing operations.

 

(b) Represents the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations.

Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing housing revenues less housing construction and land costs excluding (1) housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges (as applicable) recorded during a given period and (2) amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, by housing revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is housing gross profit margin. The Company believes adjusted housing gross profit margin is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as it measures the gross profits the Company generated specifically on the homes delivered during a given period. This non-GAAP financial measure isolates the impact that housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges, and the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, have on housing gross profit margins, and allows investors to make comparisons with the Company’s competitors that adjust housing gross profit margins in a similar manner. The Company also believes investors will find adjusted housing gross profit margin relevant and useful because it represents a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges, and amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations. This financial measure assists management in making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix, product pricing and construction pace.

The ratio of net debt to capital is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents, by capital (notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents, plus stockholders’ equity). The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net debt to capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
