CalAtlantic Group, Inc. Reports 2016 Third Quarter Results
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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015. Limited historical Ryland operating data is also presented in the tables at the end of this release for informational purposes.

2016 CalAtlantic Third Quarter Highlights and Comparisons to Pro Forma 2015 CalAtlantic Third 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 third quarter 2015 Standard Pacific and Ryland financial and operating data compared to actual 2016 CalAtlantic third 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 3,531, up 9%; Dollar value of net new orders up 8%
  • 566 average active selling communities, flat
  • 3,680 new home deliveries, up 15%
  • Average selling price of $452 thousand, up 10%

Orders.  Net new orders for the 2016 third quarter were up 9% from the pro forma 2015 third quarter, to 3,531 homes, with the dollar value of these orders up 8%.  The Company's monthly sales absorption rate was 2.1 per community for the 2016 third quarter, up 9% from the pro forma 2015 third quarter and down 10% from the 2016 second quarter, approximately half the decline associated with normal seasonal patterns.  The Company's cancellation rate for the 2016 third quarter was 16%, down compared to 20% for the pro forma 2015 third quarter and slightly up from 15% for the 2016 second quarter.

Backlog.  The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 10% to $3.3 billion, or 7,307 homes, compared to $3.0 billion, or 6,707 homes, for the pro forma 2015 third quarter, and decreased 3% compared to $3.4 billion, or 7,456 homes, for the 2016 second quarter.  The increase in pro forma year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by the 9% increase in the Company's monthly sales absorption rate.  As of September 30, 2016, the average gross margin of the 7,307 total homes in backlog was 21.4%.  For the 4,306 homes scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2016, the gross margin in backlog as of such date was 21.2%.

Revenue.  Revenues from home sales for the 2016 third quarter increased 26%, to $1.7 billion, as compared to the pro forma 2015 third quarter, resulting from a 15% increase on a pro forma basis in new home deliveries and a 10% increase on a pro forma basis in the Company's average home price to $452 thousand.  The increase in average home price was primarily attributable to product mix and general price increases within select markets.   

Gross Margin.  The Company achieved gross margin from homes sales of 22.5% for the 2016 third quarter.  Excluding 270 bps of capitalized interest amortized to cost of home sales, our pre-interest gross margin was 25.2%*.  Our 2016 gross margin was negatively impacted by a shift in product mix, a competitive pricing environment, and an increase in direct construction costs per home. 

SG&A Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2016 third quarter were $170.8 million, or 10.3%, as compared to $73.3 million, or 11.7%, for the 2015 third quarter.  This 140 basis point improvement was primarily the result of a 166% increase in home sale revenues and the operating leverage associated with the increase in revenue and the synergies gained in connection with the merger.   

Land.  During the 2016 third quarter, the Company spent $387.1 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $432.8 million for the pro forma 2015 third quarter. The Company purchased $227.6 million of land, consisting of 3,798 homesites, of which 20% (based on homesites) is located in the North region, 37% in the Southeast region, 33% in the Southwest region, and 10% in the West region.  As of September 30, 2016, the Company owned or controlled 67,964 homesites, of which 46,119 were owned and actively selling or under development, 16,579 were controlled or under option, and the remaining 5,266 homesites were held for future development or for sale. 

Liquidity.  The Company ended the quarter with $675.1 million of available liquidity, including $184.0 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and $491.1 million available to borrow under its $750 million revolving credit facility. The Company's homebuilding debt to book capitalization as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 was 46.4% and 56.8%, respectively, and adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted book capitalization was 44.9%* and 55.4%*, respectively.  In addition, the Company's homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the LTM period ending September 30, 2016 and 2015 was 3.7x* and 4.7x*, respectively.

Share Repurchase.  During the third quarter, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $34.12 and a total third quarter spend of $37.6 million.  This brings the year-to-date repurchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 4.3 million shares at an average price of $31.99 and a total year-to-date spend of $137.5 million.

REGIONAL OPERATING DATA






In connection with the merger with Ryland, the Company began evaluating the business and allocating resources based on each of the four post-merger homebuilding regions of CalAtlantic. The Company's four homebuilding reportable segments include: 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 extraordinary 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 extraordinary 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) extraordinary 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 third quarter, financial statement information for the three months ended September 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 excluding merger and other one-time transaction related costs.  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.
