Full Year 2022 Outlook Estimate

  • 2022 Adjusted EBITDA expectations decreased to approximately break-even

Harbor Custom Development, Inc.’s President and CEO, Sterling Griffin stated, “Despite results coming in below expectations, our team maintained a strong level of execution with the construction of our multi-family projects during the second quarter. Significant cost overruns for our fee build projects, the cancelation of a key land sale previously under contract, and delays in the closing of other home and lot sales due to changing market conditions contributed to underperformance in the second quarter.”

Mr. Griffin continued, “Notwithstanding the second quarter’s unfavorable results, we achieved record revenues through the first six months of 2022. We expect the construction of several of our multi-family projects to be completed by the end of the year, and our first project, Mills Crossing, is scheduled to be fully rented in the fourth quarter. Additionally, we expect to start renting other multi-family projects in the third and fourth quarters as the projects near completion. We have substantially completed the hiring of additional members of our team to support our public company infrastructure and prepare us for the expected growth in our multi-family division. We are confident we have the right people in place to execute our unique business model and drive future growth.”

Results for the Second Quarter 2022

Sales for the second quarter 2022 decreased by (27.2)% to $10.3 million, compared to sales of $14.1 million for the second quarter 2021. This decrease was largely due to a decrease in entitled land sales of $9.3 million, primarily offset by an increase in home sales of $5.3 million.

Gross profit (loss) for the second quarter 2022 decreased to $(1.9) million compared to $3.3 million for the second quarter 2021. Gross margin (loss) for the second quarter 2022 also decreased to (18.8)%, compared to 23.5% for the second quarter 2021. The $(5.3) million decrease in gross profit and (42.3)% decrease in gross margin were primarily due to significant cost overruns on our fee build projects and the non-recurrence of higher margin entitled land sales in 2022. Our fee build cost overruns were primarily attributable to inflation and record setting rainfall in Western Washington resulting in a $(3.2) million gross loss and (212.9)% gross margin loss in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $0.2 million gross profit and 11.8% gross margin in the second quarter 2021. The entitled land sales in the second quarter 2021 provided $2.4 million gross profit dollars at a gross margin of 25.5% that did not recur in the second quarter 2022.

Operating expenses for the second quarter 2022 were $3.7 million compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter 2021. This expected increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to increases associated with our continued investment in public company infrastructure and future growth plans. A $0.8 million increase of payroll related costs was the largest contributor of operating expense increases. Less significant increases in professional fees, marketing and advertising, insurance expense, investor relations, right of use expense for a new corporate office, and depreciation expense also contributed to the increase over the prior year period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales for the second quarter 2022 were 35.5% compared to 16.0% for the second quarter 2021. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the expense increases previously stated and lower sales in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021.

For the second quarter 2022, net loss was $(4.5) million compared to net income of $1.1 million for the second quarter 2021. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(6.4) million or $(0.46) loss per share compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.9 million or $0.06 earnings per share.

EBITDA for the second quarter 2022 decreased (350.2)% to a loss of $(4.9) million compared to EBITDA of $2.0 million for the second quarter 2021. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of stock compensation and other non-recurring costs, for the second quarter 2022 decreased by (330.8)% to a loss of $(4.8) million compared to $2.1 million for the second quarter 2021. For the second quarter 2022, Adjusted EBITDA loss as a percentage of sales was (46.5)% compared to 14.7% Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales for the second quarter 2021.

Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Sales for the first half of 2022 increased by 38.8% to $38.9 million, compared to sales of $28.0 million for the first half of 2021. This increase was largely due to increases in home sales of $10.7 million, fee build revenue of $2.9 million, and sales of developed lots of $2.1 million, partially offset by the $4.8 million decrease in the sales of entitled land.

Gross profit for the first half of 2022 increased to $4.1 million compared to $3.9 million for the first half of 2021. Gross margin for the first half of 2022 was 10.6% compared to 14.0% for the first half of 2021. The $0.2 million increase in gross profit was primarily due to increases in home sales gross profit of $1.8 million and entitled land sales gross profit of $1.6 million, which was offset by the decrease in fee build gross profit of $(3.2) million. The (3.4)% decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by significant cost overruns with our fee build projects, and was partially offset by the significant margins attained with the sale of entitled land in the first quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses for the first half of 2022 were $7.5 million compared to $4.3 million for the first half of 2021. This expected increase is primarily attributable to increases in continued investment in public company infrastructure and personnel to support our future growth plans. Payroll related costs and professional fees were the largest contributors to the increase in operating expenses at $1.6 million and $0.5 million respectively. Right of use expense for a new corporate office, depreciation expense, marketing and advertising, stock compensation, and director fees also contributed to the increase over the prior year period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales for the first half of 2022 were 19.3% compared to 15.4% for the first half of 2021. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the increase in operating expenses as described above which have increased faster than the increase in sales.

For the first half of 2022, net loss was $(2.9) million compared to net loss of $(0.5) million for the first half of 2021. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(6.8) million or $(0.50) loss per share compared to $(0.6) million or $(0.04) loss per share.

EBITDA for the first half of 2022 decreased (161.7)% to a loss of $(1.4) million compared to EBITDA of $2.3 million for the first half of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of stock compensation and other non-recurring costs, for the first half of 2022 decreased by (135.6)% to a loss of $(0.9) million compared to $2.5 million for the first half of 2021. For the first half of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA loss as a percentage of sales was (2.3)% compared to 8.9% Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales for the first half of 2021.

Full Year 2022 Outlook Estimate

Based on an in-depth analysis of the current market conditions, the construction status of our project portfolio, and our second quarter results, we are adjusting our full year guidance to assume the following:

  • Revenue of approximately $80 million to $90 million compared to the previous target of approximately $160 million, and
  • Adjusted EBITDA at or around break even compared to the previous target of approximately $20 million.

Mr. Griffin concluded, “The decline to our revenue expectation for the full year is primarily a timing variance for projects we previously expected to close in 2022, that may now slide into 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was primarily impacted by significant fee build cost overruns, the cancellation of high margin land sales in our Horizon at Semiahmoo project that will now likely be built and sold as developed lots and multi-family townhomes, and the temporary deferral of Adjusted EBITDA associated with the timing of other project sales that could get pushed to 2023. We believe this updated guidance has room for upside if we close some of the multi-family projects expected to have construction completed this year or if we close more land, lot, and home sales.”

Reconciliation of the forward-looking full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA estimate to net income is not being provided as we do not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation. Our management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on our reported net income and reported effective tax rate because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and highly variable.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate, “predict,” “target,” “project,” “intend,” “potential,” “would,” “continue,” “ongoing,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology that concerns our expectations, strategy, priorities, plans, or intentions. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved, if at all. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, changes in the real estate industry such as increases in mortgage interest rates which could dampen residential home purchases, and those risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the financial information contained herein include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, (GAAP), and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. We have provided definitions for these non-GAAP financial measures and tables in the schedules hereto to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide valuable information regarding our earnings and business trends by excluding specific items that we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our business, providing a useful way for investors to make a comparison of our performance over time and against other companies in our industry.

We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our GAAP financial measures and believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information regarding our operating performance and cash flows. Our management and board of directors also use these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to evaluate our business and the performance of management, including the determination of performance-based compensation, to make operating and strategic decisions, and to allocate financial resources. We believe that these non-GAAP measures also provide meaningful information for investors and securities analysts to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
