PLANO, Texas--()--Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or the “Company”), today reported record results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Our business model continued to demonstrate its strength and enabled us to deliver record results for any quarter. In the second quarter of 2024, home closings revenue totaled $546.9 million, a record that reflects growth of 20.4% year-over-year as we closed a record 987 units, a 26.1% increase of closed homes year-over-year. Importantly, we continued to excel at generating the highest homebuilding gross margins in the industry. Our Q2 2024 record gross margin of 34.5% was up 320 bps over Q2 2023. As a result, diluted EPS increased 42% year-over-year to $2.32 per share, another company record,” said Jim Brickman, CEO and Co-Founder.

As we exited the spring selling season, demand remained healthy throughout the second quarter. Net new orders grew 4.0% year-over-year to 855 units with average incentives of 4.5%,” continued Mr. Brickman. “Year-to-date, we have now sold 1,926 homes, delivered 1,808 homes and started 1,980 homes which increased our backlog units by 15.5%. Thanks to the superior markets in which we operate, Green Brick is poised to continue capitalizing on what we believe are long-term secular demographic shifts. This positioning is further strengthened by supply shortages in our infill and infill adjacent submarkets due to the ‘golden handcuffs’ effect of low-rate mortgages. Approximately 80% of our revenues for the first half of 2024 continued to come from those infill and infill adjacent locations.”

Mr. Brickman added, “We have created a strong runway for growth with our superior land and lot positions which we grew in the second quarter by adding over 2,500 additional future home sites. We remain committed to our land and self-development strategies that have been instrumental to our success and one of our biggest advantages. We believe that with disciplined underwriting, superior locations, a strong balance sheet and desirable products, we can carry land and lots on our balance sheet while still generating industry leading shareholder returns. To that end, our return on equity was 28.3% for the first half of 2024 on an annualized basis.”

Mr. Brickman concluded, “Growth is not created equally. Our success and earnings growth are possible despite having one of the least leveraged balance sheets and one of the lowest costs of debt among our small and mid-cap peers. At the end of the second quarter, our net debt to total capital ratio was 10.9% and our total debt to total capital ratio was only 17.7% with a weighted average pay rate of 3.4%. In addition, we continue to focus on creating value for shareholders, including by repurchasing approximately 1.5% of our shares in the second quarter for $38.4 million dollars.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table represents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted homebuilding gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles these amounts to homebuilding gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
