CalAtlantic Group, Inc. Reports 2016 Second Quarter Results and Announces $500 Million Share Repurchase Program
On October 1, 2015, Standard Pacific Corp. completed its merger transaction with The Ryland Group, Inc., with Standard Pacific continuing as the surviving corporation and changing its name to CalAtlantic Group, Inc. Because the closing of the merger occurred in the 2015 fourth quarter, the highlights and comparisons below and the other financial information included in this earnings release includes only stand-alone data for predecessor Standard Pacific for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. To aid analysts and other investors with year-over-year comparability for the entire merged business, we also are providing limited pro forma information, which combines the stand-alone Standard Pacific and Ryland financial and operating data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Limited historical Ryland operating data is also presented in the tables at the end of this release.

IRVINE, Calif., July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAtlantic Group, Inc. (NYSE: CAA) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

2016 CalAtlantic Second Quarter Highlights and Comparisons to Pro Forma 2015 CalAtlantic Second Quarter
To aid analysts and other investors with year-over-year comparability for the entire merged business, we provide the below pro forma information.  This pro forma information is a combination of stand-alone second quarter 2015 Standard Pacific and Ryland financial and operating data compared to actual 2016 CalAtlantic second quarter results.  Such pro forma data was not prepared to comply with Regulation S-X of the SEC Rules and Regulations.

  • Net new orders of 3,921, down 1%; Dollar value of net new orders up 5%
  • 567 average active selling communities, up 4%
  • 3,484 new home deliveries, up 12%
  • Average selling price of $447 thousand, up 5%
  • Home sale revenues of $1.6 billion, up 17%
  • Pretax income of $179.6 million vs. $156.1 million* (2016 second quarter results include the impact of $5.0 million of merger costs and $5.9 million of purchase accounting adjustments)
    • Adjusted pretax income of $190.5 million*, up 22%
  • $394.8 million of land purchases and development costs, compared to $418.9 million

Orders.  Net new orders for the 2016 second quarter were down 1% from the pro forma 2015 second quarter, to 3,921 homes, with the dollar value of these orders up 5%, and the Company's monthly sales absorption rate was 2.3 per community for the 2016 second quarter, down 5% from both the pro forma 2015 second quarter and the 2016 first quarter, consistent with normal seasonal patterns.  The Company's cancellation rate for the 2016 second quarter was 15%, flat compared to the pro forma 2015 second quarter and up from 12% for the 2016 first quarter.

Backlog.  The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 19% to $3.4 billion, or 7,456 homes, compared to $2.9 billion, or 6,688 homes, for the pro forma 2015 second quarter, and increased 7% compared to $3.2 billion, or 7,019 homes, for the 2016 first quarter.  The increase in pro forma year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by our continued growth in community count and a 6% increase in the average selling price of the homes in backlog on a pro forma basis, reflecting product mix, geographic mix and continued pricing power in many of our markets.

Revenue.  Revenues from home sales for the 2016 second quarter increased 17%, to $1.6 billion, as compared to the pro forma 2015 second quarter, resulting from a 12% increase on a pro forma basis in new home deliveries and a 5% increase on a pro forma basis in the Company's average home price to $447 thousand.  The increase in average home price was primarily attributable to product mix and general price increases within select markets.   

Gross Margin.  Excluding the impact of purchasing accounting, the Company achieved adjusted gross margin from home sales of 22.2%* for the 2016 second quarter.  Unadjusted, the gross margin from homes sales was 21.9%.  The unadjusted second quarter gross margin was adversely impacted by the required fair value adjustment to homes in backlog, speculative homes and models under construction acquired from Ryland in the merger, of which $5.9 million was recognized as an increase to cost of sales during the quarter. 

SG&A Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2016 second quarter were $165.7 million, or 10.6%, as compared to $79.9 million, or 11.5%, for the 2015 second quarter.  This 90 basis point improvement was primarily the result of a 124% increase in home sale revenues and the operating leverage gained in connection with the merger.   

Land.  During the 2016 second quarter, the Company spent $394.8 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $418.9 million for the pro forma 2015 second quarter. The Company purchased $237.9 million of land, consisting of 3,348 homesites, of which 32% (based on homesites) is located in the North region, 20% in the Southeast region, 19% in the Southwest region, and 29% in the West region.  As of June 30, 2016, the Company owned or controlled 67,741 homesites, of which 44,980 were owned and actively selling or under development, 16,794 were controlled or under option, and the remaining 5,967 homesites were held for future development or for sale. 

Liquidity.  The Company ended the quarter with $892.6 million of available liquidity, including $256.0 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and $636.6 million available to borrow under its $750 million revolving credit facility. The Company's homebuilding debt to book capitalization as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 47.9% and 55.3%, respectively, and adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted book capitalization was 45.9%* and 53.9%*, respectively.  In addition, the Company's homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the LTM period ending June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 4.4x* and 4.4x*, respectively.

Bond Offering. During the 2016 second quarter, the Company raised $300 million in proceeds from the issuance of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2026. A portion of the proceeds were initially used to pay down the outstanding balance of the Company's revolving credit facility and will ultimately be used to repay or repurchase the Company's $280 million senior notes which mature in September 2016.

Share Repurchase Program.  The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's common stock.  This authorization replaces the previous February 2016 $200 million authorization.  The Company's share repurchases may be made, from time to time, on the open market or otherwise.  The amount of any shares purchased and the timing of the purchases will be subject to general business conditions and other factors.  The share repurchase authorization will continue in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors.  The Company intends to retire the repurchased shares. 

Earnings Conference Call

REGIONAL OPERATING DATA

During the 2015 third quarter, in connection with the transition planning related to the merger, the Company began evaluating the business and allocating resources based on the post-merger homebuilding operating segments of CalAtlantic. The Company's homebuilding operating segments are grouped into four reportable segments: North (Baltimore, Chicago, Delaware, Indianapolis, Metro Washington, D.C., Minneapolis/St. Paul, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, Philadelphia and Atlanta); Southeast (Florida and the Carolinas); Southwest (Texas, Colorado and Nevada) and West (California and Arizona).  All prior periods have been restated to conform to CalAtlantic's new presentation.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Each of the below measures are non-GAAP financial measures and other companies may calculate such non-GAAP measures differently.  Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance measures prescribed by GAAP.

The table set forth below reconciles the Company's gross margin percentage from home sales to adjusted gross margin percentage from home sales, excluding purchase accounting adjustments related to the merger and interest amortized to cost of home sales.  The table set forth below also calculates adjusted operating margin percentage from home sales, excluding purchase accounting adjustments related to the merger.  We believe these measures are useful to management and investors as they provide perspective on the underlying operating performance of the business excluding these charges and provide comparability with the Company's peer group.

The table set forth below reconciles the Company's total consolidated debt to adjusted net homebuilding debt and provides the Company's total consolidated debt to book capitalization and adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization ratios.  In addition, the table set forth below calculates homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA.  We believe these ratios are useful to management and investors as a measure of the Company's ability to obtain financing.  For purposes of the ratio of adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization, total adjusted book capitalization is adjusted net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity.  Adjusted net homebuilding debt excludes indebtedness of the Company's financial services subsidiary and additionally reflects the offset of cash and equivalents.

The table set forth below calculates EBITDA and Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA.  Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA means net income (plus cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures) before (a) income taxes, (b) homebuilding interest expense, (c) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales, (d) impairment charges and deposit write-offs, (e) (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (f) homebuilding depreciation and amortization, including amortization of capitalized model costs, (g) amortization of stock-based compensation, (h) income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures, (i) income (loss) from financial services subsidiaries, (j) purchase accounting adjustments and (k) merger and other one-time transaction related costs.  Other companies may calculate Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently.  We believe Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA information is useful to management and investors as it provides perspective on the underlying performance of the business.  Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by GAAP.

Because the closing of the merger occurred after the 2015 second quarter, financial statement information for the three months ended June 30, 2015 includes only stand-alone data for predecessor Standard Pacific Corp.  The table set forth below reconciles the Company's reported home sale revenues and pretax income to comparative financial measures on a combined basis for periods prior to the merger.  Certain adjustments, including those related to conforming accounting policies and adjusting acquired inventory to fair value, have not been reflected in the pro forma financial measures below due to the impracticability of estimating such impacts.  Such pro forma data was not prepared to comply with Regulation S-X of the SEC Rules and Regulations.  The following non-GAAP financial measures have been provided as we believe this data is useful to investors for purposes of assessing the Company's operating performance on a combined basis for year-over-year comparison purposes.
