NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landsea Homes Corporation (Nasdaq: LSEA) (“Landsea Homes” or the “Company”), a publicly traded homebuilder, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. For the quarter, the Company reported pretax net income of $25.3 million, and net income of $20.0 million, or $0.49 per share. Prior year reported pretax net income was $13.8 million with net income of $10.8 million, or $0.23 per share. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $27.6 million or $0.69 per share. For the prior year period adjusted net income was $8.2 million, or $0.18 per share.
Management Commentary
“Landsea Homes posted strong year-over-year top and bottom-line growth in the third quarter of 2022, as home sales revenue increased 56% to $326 million and earnings grew 130% to $0.49 per diluted share,” said John Ho, Chief Executive Officer of Landsea Homes. “We also continued to make progress on the margin front generating a 480 basis-point improvement to our home sales gross margin, which came in at 20.9%. Our teams did an excellent job overcoming operational obstacles and supply chain issues in the quarter, particularly our Florida division, where we experienced closing delays but no major property damage due to Hurricane Ian.”
Mr. Ho continued, “As has been widely reported, new home sales activity slowed in the third quarter, as the combination of higher interest rates and negative buyer psychology weighed on demand. These factors also led to an increase in cancellation activity in our backlog, resulting in a cancellation rate of 9% of beginning backlog for the quarter. We are proactively adjusting our sales efforts to spur demand but expect the landscape to remain uncertain until there is more clarity on the interest rate outlook.”
Mr. Ho concluded, “Despite these near-term headwinds, we remain optimistic about the long-term outlook for our industry and our company. Existing home inventory remains scarce in our markets, and we believe that we have positioned our company in markets with great long-term housing fundamentals that are expected to experience outsized job and population growth. These factors, combined with our attractive product profile, solid balance sheet and operational discipline, give us confidence in the future of Landsea Homes.”
Operating Results
Total revenue increased 57% to $335.6 million compared to $214.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 primarily driven by increases in average sales price across our divisions, increased performance from our Florida division, and the delivery of units from our New York operations.
Total homes delivered increased 43% to 543 homes at an average sales price of $601,000 compared to 380 homes delivered at an average sales price of $550,000 in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in deliveries was attributable to the larger contribution of our Florida operations, coupled with deliveries from New York.
Net new home orders were 257 homes with a dollar value of $165.5 million, an average sales price of $644,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 1.5 sales per active community. This compares to 275 homes with a dollar value of $184.9 million, an average sales price of $673,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 2.6 sales per active community in the prior year period. The decrease in new home orders was due to slowing demand related to the significant increase in interest rates which have created uncertainty with homebuyers and impacted affordability.
Total homes in backlog increased 18% to 1,285 homes with a dollar value of $741.1 million and an average sales price of $577,000 at September 30, 2022. This compares to 1,092 homes with a dollar value of $606.2 million and an average sales price of $555,000 at September 30, 2021. The increase in units and value is due to acquired inventory from our homebuilder acquisition in January. Average sales prices in backlog increased for all of our divisions, reflecting price appreciation from earlier in the year.
Total lots owned or controlled at September 30, 2022, increased 27% to 12,410 compared to 9,756 at September 30, 2021, primarily due to the acquisition of Hanover Family Builders and additional lots under control in Texas. Additionally, we have accelerated our asset-light strategy and now control 57% of our lots compared to 43% owned.
Home sales gross margin increased to 20.9% from 16.1% in the prior year period. Adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) increased to 27.2% compared to 21.4% in the prior year period. The lift was primarily due to price appreciation and an increase in gross margins within our California and Florida segments.
Net income attributable to Landsea Homes increased to $20.0 million compared to $10.8 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to Landsea Homes (a non-GAAP measure) increased to $27.6 million compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis increased to $0.49 compared to $0.23 in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income per share (a non-GAAP measure) on a fully diluted basis increased to $0.69 compared to $0.18 in the third quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) increased to $47.4 million compared to $19.3 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 (if applicable), and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (if applicable). 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 this non-GAAP measure is meaningful because it provides insight into the impact that financing arrangements and acquisitions have on our homebuilding gross margin and allows for comparability of our gross margins to competitors that present similar information.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
The following table presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 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 (gain) on debt extinguishment or forgiveness, (vii) transaction costs related to the Merger and business combinations, (viii) the impact of income or loss allocations from our unconsolidated joint ventures, and (ix) loss on remeasurement of warrant liability. 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. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. 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 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 our operating results 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 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, the impact from our unconsolidated joint ventures, loss (gain) on debt extinguishment or forgiveness, and loss on remeasurement of warrant liability, merger related transaction costs, and tax-effected using a blended statutory tax rate. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. 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 Net Capital
The following table presents the ratio of debt to capital as well as the ratio of net debt to net 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 net capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt, net of issuance costs, less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as well as cash held in escrow to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by net capital (sum of net debt plus total equity). The most comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. We believe the ratio of net debt to net 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 net 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.
