KB Home Reports 2024 Second Quarter Results

Revenues Totaled $1.71 Billion; Diluted Earnings Per Share Increased 11% to $2.15

Net Orders Up 2% to 3,997; Net Order Value Expanded 7% to $2.03 Billion

KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2024.

“We produced solid results in our 2024 second quarter, with our key metrics above the high end of our guidance ranges,” said Jeffrey Mezger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Buyers remained resilient in their desire for homeownership despite the volatility in mortgage interest rates. Our pace of monthly net orders per community was one of our highest second quarter levels in many years, which we believe reflected the compelling personalized choice that our Built to Order model offers to meet each buyer’s lifestyle and budget.”

“Our business is generating substantial cash flows, and we are continuing our balanced approach in allocating this capital, focused on both expanding our scale and returning cash to our stockholders. In the 2024 second quarter, we significantly increased our investment in land acquisition and development, repurchased additional shares and raised our quarterly dividend. With a healthy expansion in our owned and controlled lot count, as well as our planned community openings, we are confident we are well positioned for future growth,” concluded Mezger.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2024 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)

  • Revenues totaled $1.71 billion, compared to $1.77 billion.
  • Homes delivered were 3,523, compared to 3,666.
  • Average selling price increased to $483,000, up from $479,500.
  • Homebuilding operating income totaled $188.2 million, compared to $202.1 million. The homebuilding operating income margin was 11.1%, compared to 11.5%. Excluding total inventory-related charges of $1.2 million for the current quarter and $4.3 million for the year-earlier quarter, the homebuilding operating income margin was 11.1%, compared to 11.7%.
    • The housing gross profit margin of 21.1% was even with the year-earlier quarter. Excluding the above-mentioned inventory-related charges, the housing gross profit margin was 21.2%, compared to 21.4%.
    • Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues were 10.1%, compared to 9.6%, mainly reflecting higher costs including marketing and other expenses associated with the Company’s planned increase in its community count during the year to position its operations for growth.
  • Financial services pretax income rose 16% to $13.3 million, partly due to increased equity in income of the Company’s mortgage banking joint venture. This was largely driven by a higher volume of both interest rate locks and loan originations, as 86% of the buyers financing their home purchases in the current quarter used the joint venture, up from 80%.
  • Total pretax income, which included a $12.5 million gain associated with the sale of a privately held technology company in which the Company held an ownership interest, increased to $221.1 million, compared to $214.9 million.
  • Net income rose 2% to $168.4 million. Diluted earnings per share grew 11% to $2.15, reflecting the higher net income and the favorable impact of the Company’s common stock repurchases over the past several quarters.
    • The effective tax rate was 23.8%, compared to 23.5%.

Six Months Ended May 31, 2024 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)

  • Revenues totaled $3.18 billion, compared to $3.15 billion.
  • Homes delivered of 6,560 were up 2%.
  • Average selling price was $481,700, compared to $486,000.
  • Net income increased 6% to $307.1 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share were up 16% to $3.91.

Backlog and Net Orders (comparisons on a year-over-year basis, except as noted)

  • Net orders for the quarter increased 2% to 3,997. Net order value rose 7% to $2.03 billion, reflecting the growth in net orders and a higher average selling price of those orders.
    • Monthly net orders per community increased to 5.5 from 5.2.
    • The cancellation rate as a percentage of gross orders improved to 13%, compared to 22%.
  • The Company’s ending backlog homes of 6,270 and ending backlog value of $3.12 billion were down 14% and 10%, respectively. The year-over-year decreases narrowed for the fourth consecutive quarter.
  • The Company’s average community count for the quarter was down 4% to 243, and ending community count was essentially flat at 247. On a sequential basis, the ending community count expanded 4%.

Balance Sheet as of May 31, 2024 (comparisons to November 30, 2023, except as noted)

  • The Company had total liquidity of $1.73 billion, including $643.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.08 billion of available capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility, with no cash borrowings outstanding.
  • Inventories totaled $5.34 billion, up 4%.
    • The Company’s investments in land and land development for the six months ended May 31, 2024 increased 64% to $1.26 billion, compared to $763.2 million for the year-earlier period.
    • The Company’s lots owned or under contract grew 17% to 65,533, of which approximately 61% were owned and 39% were under contract. By comparison, approximately 73% of the Company’s total lots were owned and 27% were under contract as of November 30, 2023.
  • Notes payable of $1.70 billion were essentially unchanged. The Company’s debt to capital ratio improved 90 basis points to 29.8%, compared to 30.7%.
  • Stockholders’ equity increased to $3.99 billion, compared to $3.81 billion, mainly reflecting net income, partly offset by common stock repurchases and cash dividends.
    • In April 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock to $.25 per share from $.20 per share, and authorized the repurchase of up to $1.00 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock, replacing a prior authorization.
    • In the 2024 second quarter, the Company repurchased 764,742 shares of its outstanding common stock at a total cost of $50.0 million, bringing its total repurchases in the 2024 first half to 1,591,405 shares at a total cost of $100.0 million, or $62.84 per share. As of May 31, 2024, the Company had $950.0 million remaining under its current common stock repurchase authorization.
    • Based on the Company’s 75.2 million outstanding shares as of May 31, 2024, book value per share of $53.08 increased 14% year over year.

If we update or revise any such statement(s), no assumption should be made that we will further update or revise that statement(s) or update or revise any other such statement(s). Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The most important risk factors that could cause our actual performance and future events and actions to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the following: general economic, employment and business conditions; population growth, household formations and demographic trends; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets; our ability to access external financing sources and raise capital through the issuance of common stock, debt or other securities, and/or project financing, on favorable terms; the execution of any securities repurchases pursuant to our board of directors’ authorization; material and trade costs and availability, including building materials and appliances, and delays related to state and municipal construction, permitting, inspection and utility processes, which have been disrupted by key equipment shortages; consumer and producer price inflation; changes in interest rates, including those set by the Federal Reserve, which the Federal Reserve has increased sharply over the past two years and may further increase to moderate inflation, and those available in the capital markets or from financial institutions and other lenders, and applicable to mortgage loans; our debt level, including our ratio of debt to capital, and our ability to adjust our debt level and maturity schedule; our compliance with the terms of our revolving credit facility and our senior unsecured term loan; the ability and willingness of the applicable lenders and financial institutions, or any substitute or additional lenders and financial institutions, to meet their commitments or fund borrowings, extend credit or provide payment guarantees to or for us under our revolving credit facility or unsecured letter of credit facility; volatility in the market price of our common stock; home selling prices, including our homes’ selling prices, being unaffordable relative to consumer incomes; weak or declining consumer confidence, either generally or specifically with respect to purchasing homes; competition from other sellers of new and resale homes; weather events, significant natural disasters and other climate and environmental factors, such as a lack of adequate water supply to permit new home communities in certain areas; any failure of lawmakers to agree on a budget or appropriation legislation to fund the federal government’s operations (also known as a government shutdown), and financial markets’ and businesses’ reactions to any such failure; government actions, policies, programs and regulations directed at or affecting the housing market (including the tax benefits associated with purchasing and owning a home, and the standards, fees and size limits applicable to the purchase or insuring of mortgage loans by government-sponsored enterprises and government agencies), the homebuilding industry, or construction activities; changes in existing tax laws or enacted corporate income tax rates, including those resulting from regulatory guidance and interpretations issued with respect thereto, such as the Internal Revenue Service’s recent guidance regarding heightened qualification requirements for federal tax credits for building energy-efficient homes; changes in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and duties on homebuilding materials and products, and related trade disputes with and retaliatory measures taken by other countries; disruptions in world and regional trade flows, economic activity and supply chains due to the military conflict and other attacks in the Middle East region and military conflict in Ukraine, including those stemming from wide-ranging sanctions the U.S. and other countries have imposed or may further impose on Russian business sectors, financial organizations, individuals and raw materials, the impact of which may, among other things, increase our operational costs, exacerbate building materials and appliance shortages and/or reduce our revenues and earnings; the adoption of new or amended financial accounting standards and the guidance and/or interpretations with respect thereto; the availability and cost of land in desirable areas and our ability to timely and efficiently develop acquired land parcels and open new home communities; impairment, land option contract abandonment or other inventory-related charges, including any stemming from decreases in the value of our land assets; our warranty claims experience with respect to homes previously delivered and actual warranty costs incurred; costs and/or charges arising from regulatory compliance requirements, including the costs to implement recent federal and state climate-related disclosure rules, or from legal, arbitral or regulatory proceedings, investigations, claims or settlements, including unfavorable outcomes in any such matters resulting in actual or potential monetary damage awards, penalties, fines or other direct or indirect payments, or injunctions, consent decrees or other voluntary or involuntary restrictions or adjustments to our business operations or practices that are beyond our current expectations and/or accruals; our ability to use/realize the net deferred tax assets we have generated; our ability to successfully implement our current and planned strategies and initiatives related to our product, geographic and market positioning, gaining share and scale in our served markets, through, among other things, our making substantial investments in land and land development, which, in some cases, involves putting significant capital over several years into large projects in one location, and in entering into new markets; our operational and investment concentration in markets in California; consumer interest in our new home communities and products, particularly from first-time homebuyers and higher-income consumers; our ability to generate orders and convert our backlog of orders to home deliveries and revenues, particularly in key markets in California; our ability to successfully implement our business strategies and achieve any associated financial and operational targets and objectives, including those discussed in this release or in any of our other public filings, presentations or disclosures; income tax expense volatility associated with stock-based compensation; the ability of our homebuyers to obtain homeowners and flood insurance policies, and/or typical or lender-required policies for other hazards or events, for their homes, which may depend on the ability and willingness of insurers or government-funded or -sponsored programs to offer coverage at an affordable price or at all; the ability of our homebuyers to obtain residential mortgage loans and mortgage banking services, which may depend on the ability and willingness of lenders and financial institutions to offer such loans and services to our homebuyers; the performance of mortgage lenders to our homebuyers; the performance of KBHS Home Loans, LLC (“KBHS”); the ability and willingness of lenders and financial institutions to extend credit facilities to KBHS to fund its originated mortgage loans; information technology failures and data security breaches; an epidemic, pandemic or significant seasonal or other disease outbreak, and the control response measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address it, which may precipitate or exacerbate one or more of the above-mentioned and/or other risks, and significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period;

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, which is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is relevant and useful to investors in understanding 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 it is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this non-GAAP financial measure 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, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations.

Adjusted Housing Gross Profit Margin

The following table reconciles the Company’s housing gross profit margin calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin:

(a) Represents inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges 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 housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges (as applicable) recorded during a given period, 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 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. This financial measure assists management in making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix, product pricing and construction pace.
