Raised Full Year 2021 Profitability Guidance

MATAWAN, N.J., June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV), a leading national homebuilder, reported results for its fiscal second quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2021.

RESULTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021:

(1)When we refer to “Domestic Unconsolidated Joint Ventures”, we are excluding results from our single community unconsolidated joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

LIQUIDITY AND INVENTORY AS OF APRIL 30, 2021: 

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE(2):

Financial guidance for both the third quarter and full year for fiscal 2021 assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $132.59 at April 30, 2021. Every $4 increase or decrease in common stock price from the end of the second quarter, results in an approximate $1 million increase or decrease, respectively, of phantom stock expense.

(2)The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairment loss and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.

COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:

“We are pleased with our trend of reporting improved results. Our fiscal 2021 second quarter total revenues, gross margin percentage, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pretax income were all within the guidance range that we gave last quarter. Had our SG&A not contained incremental phantom stock expense related solely to our stock price increasing from $51.16 at the end of the first quarter to $132.59 at the end of the second quarter, our results would have been above the high end of the guidance range for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pretax income, as well as within the SG&A ratio guidance range,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “By using phantom stock rather than actual equity shares for our 2019 LTIP grant when our stock price was so low, the Company avoided the long-term impacts of dilution and remains convinced it made the right decision for shareholders.”

“For the second consecutive quarter, our contract backlog dollars increased 85% year over year. Despite increased material and labor costs, gross margins on contracts currently in our backlog along with continued strong demand for new homes gave us the confidence to raise our full fiscal 2021 profitability guidance. We believe that the outlook for housing demand will remain strong over the next few years. Finally, our progress in increasing our land position and our significant increases in land and land development spend over the recent quarters gives us confidence about our ability to grow community count for the remainder of this year and beyond. By continuing to execute on our strategy, we can maximize returns for all of our stakeholders,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES: 

Consolidated earnings before interest expense and income taxes (“EBIT”) and before depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and before inventory impairment loss and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt (“Adjusted EBITDA”) are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. This earnings release also presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of incremental phantom stock expense. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income (loss). The reconciliation for historical periods of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is presented in a table attached to this earnings release or elsewhere in this earnings release.

Homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, and homebuilding gross margin percentage, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, are non-GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are homebuilding gross margin and homebuilding gross margin percentage, respectively. The reconciliation for historical periods of homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, and homebuilding gross margin percentage, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, to homebuilding gross margin and homebuilding gross margin percentage, respectively, is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.

Adjusted pretax income (loss), which is defined as income (loss) before income taxes excluding land-related charges and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. This earnings release also presents adjusted pretax income adjusted to exclude the impact of incremental phantom stock expense. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income (loss) before income taxes. The reconciliation for historical periods of adjusted pretax income (loss) to income (loss) before income taxes is presented in a table attached to this earnings release or elsewhere in this earnings release.

SG&A excluding the impact of incremental phantom stock expense is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is SG&A, to which SG&A excluding the impact of incremental phantom stock expense is reconciled herein.
