  • Net income increased 72% to a Company record $91.8 million or $2.72 per diluted share
  • Home sales revenues increased 22% to a Company record $946.8 million
  • Deliveries grew to a Company record 2,826 homes, a 14% increase
  • Net new home contracts increased 45% to a fourth quarter record of 2,566 homes
  • Homes in backlog improved 66% to a fourth quarter record 3,439 homes valued at $1.3 billion

  • EBITDA increased 87% to a Company record $144.7 million
  • Net homebuilding debt to net capital improved to 27.2% from 45.2%
  • Quarter end total liquidity of $1.1 billion

Dale Francescon, Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our exceptional performance in the fourth quarter concludes an impressive year, reflecting our ongoing momentum and scale benefits, as we capitalized on vigorous housing market demand trends and achieved fourth quarter and full year records in many categories including net new contracts, home deliveries and home sales revenues, along with the highest quarterly and full year net income in our history. As we continue to increase the penetration within our high-growth markets, we expect to generate further operational efficiencies from our national platform which, coupled with robust price appreciation and continued demand, will drive top-line growth, expanded margins and increased profitability.”

Rob Francescon, Co-Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are confident our positive trajectory will continue as not only did our fourth quarter net new contracts increase 45% over last year but we have seen our sales pace accelerate, with December up 54% and January increasing 77%. We are solidly positioned with a backlog of 3,439 sold homes, an increase of 66%, along with nearly 50,000 owned and controlled lots which will support further increases in deliveries, contracts and community count across our Century Communities and Century Complete brands. We’ve substantially strengthened our balance sheet, further improved our cash position, reduced our net debt-to-net-capital ratio to 27% and are well positioned to generate even higher returns to our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results

Net income for the fourth quarter 2020 increased 72% to $91.8 million, or $2.72 per diluted share as compared to $53.4 million or $1.63 per diluted share for the prior year quarter.

Home sales revenues for the fourth quarter 2020 increased 22% to $946.8 million, compared to $775.7 million for the prior year quarter. The growth in home sales revenues was primarily due to a 14% increase in deliveries to 2,826 homes compared to 2,479 homes for the prior year quarter. Average sales price of home deliveries for the fourth quarter 2020 was $335,000, compared to $312,900 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to our successful efforts in increasing sales prices of our homes and a higher proportion of deliveries from our Century Communities brand. Across all our markets in the fourth quarter, we were successful in raising prices in order to offset the increased materials costs we experienced.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, excluding interest, was 23.0% in the fourth quarter of 2020, an improvement of 200 basis points, compared to 21.0% in the prior year quarter and on a sequential basis, an improvement of 300 basis points from 20.0% in the third quarter. Homebuilding gross margin percentage in the fourth quarter 2020 was 20.8%, as compared to 18.2% in the prior year quarter and 17.5% in the third quarter 2020. SG&A as a percent of home sales revenues improved 80 basis points to 10.1%, compared to 10.9% in the prior year quarter. On a sequential basis, SG&A as a percent of homes revenues improved 120 basis points from 11.3% in the third quarter.

Net new home contracts in the fourth quarter 2020 increased 45% to 2,566 homes, compared to 1,775 homes in the prior year quarter. At the end of the fourth quarter 2020, the Company had 3,439 homes in backlog, representing $1.3 billion of backlog dollar value, increases of 66% and 103%, respectively.

Financial services revenues increased to $35.8 million compared to $14.5 million in the prior year quarter, and financial services pretax income increased to $17.8 million from $4.7 million.

Full Year 2020 Results

Net income for the full year 2020 was $206.2 million, or $6.13 per diluted share compared to $113.0 million, or $3.62 per diluted share in the prior year.

Home sales revenues for 2020 increased 22% to $3.0 billion, compared to $2.5 billion for 2019. The increase in home sales revenues was primarily due to home deliveries increasing 18% to 9,453 homes. Average selling price of homes delivered in 2020 was $320,200, compared to $310,200 in the prior year.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, excluding interest, impairments and purchase price accounting, was 20.8% in 2020 compared to 20.3% in the prior year. Homebuilding gross margin percentage was 18.4%, compared to 17.7% in 2019. SG&A as a percent of home sales revenues decreased 90 basis points to 11.3% compared to 12.2% the prior year.

Net new home contracts in 2020 increased to 10,822 homes, an increase of 38%, compared to 7,861 homes in the prior year, primarily attributable to an increased absorption pace.

Financial services generated pre-tax income of $48.5 million in the full year 2020 as compared to $10.7 million in the prior year.

Strengthened Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company ended the quarter with a strong financial position including $1.3 billion of stockholders’ equity, $417 million of cash and $1.1 billion of total liquidity.

As of December 31, 2020, net homebuilding debt to net capital decreased to 27.2%, a reduction of 1,800 basis points from 45.2% in the prior year quarter and a sequential reduction of 570 basis points from 32.9% at the end of third quarter of 2020.

Full Year 2021 Outlook

David Messenger, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “Our recent performance demonstrates the resiliency of our business and proven ability to execute. We remain encouraged by the strength and health of the housing market and as such, are introducing full year guidance of deliveries in the range of 10,500 to 11,500 homes and homes sales revenues in the range of $3.3 billion to $3.8 billion.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

 

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share (Adjusted Diluted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to management, investors and other users of the Company’s financial information in evaluating its operating results and understanding its operating trends without the effect of certain non-recurring items. The Company believes excluding certain non-recurring items provides more comparable assessment of its financial results from period to period. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by excluding the effect of loss on debt extinguishment, inventory impairment, restructuring costs and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process from the calculation of reported EPS.

The tax rate used in calculating adjusted net income for the years ended December 31, 2020 was 23.7%, which is reflective of the Company’s GAAP tax rate for the applicable period, as adjusted for certain discrete items. For the year ended December 31, 2019 our adjusted income tax expense of 15.9% is reflective of our statutory income tax rate adjusted for permanent differences between our taxable income and our income before income taxes as reported under GAAP, including the benefit of Federal Energy Credits of $17.3 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 our adjusted income tax expense is reflective of our full year effective tax rate of approximately 24% and 16% applied to adjusted income before income tax expense.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

 

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding impairment, interest and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory is not a measurement of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles; however, the Company’s management believes that this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that inventory impairment, indebtedness and acquisitions have on homebuilding gross margin and permits the Company’s stockholders to make better comparisons with the Company’s competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company’s operating results. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure we use as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest in cost of home sales revenues, (iii) other interest expense, (iv) loss on debt extinguishment, (v) inventory impairment and other, (vi) depreciation and amortization expense, and (vii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. Accordingly, the Company’s management believes that this measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. The Company’s presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

Ratio of Net Homebuilding Debt to Net Capital

 

The following table presents the Company’s ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company calculates this by dividing net homebuilding debt (notes payable and revolving line of credit less cash and cash equivalents and cash held in escrow) by net capital (net homebuilding debt plus total stockholders’ equity). The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the ratio of debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in its operations and as an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain external financing.
