FINANCIAL GUIDANCE(2):
The Company is providing guidance for total revenues, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, adjusted income before income taxes and adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Financial guidance below assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions, including further deterioration in our supply chain or material increases in mortgage rates, inflation or cancellation rates, and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $69.48 on October 31, 2023.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, total revenues are expected to be between $525 million and $625 million, adjusted homebuilding gross margin is expected to be between 22.0% and 23.5%, adjusted income before income taxes is expected to be between $25 million and $40 million and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $55 million and $70 million.
(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 impairments and land option write-offs and loss on extinguishment of debt, net. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.
COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:
“We are thrilled with our operating results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year, as they far exceeded our expectations at the onset of the year. Total revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income before income taxes, EPS, and book value per common share all exceeded the upper end of our guidance,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Demand for new homes remains healthy and is supported by strong demographic trends, a resilient job market and a low supply of existing homes for sale. Our sales pace declined in the fourth quarter as mortgage rates rose and affordability worsened. However, we had an ample supply of QMI homes, which, when combined with rate buydowns through our mortgage company, allowed us to offer incentives to help make homes more affordable for our homebuyers. This led to a 66% year-over-year improvement in contracts per community for the quarter. We will continue to adjust incentives to maintain an acceptable sales pace. Fortunately, while sales slowed during the quarter, gross margins remained high, which helps absorb the higher cost of incentives and rate buy downs.”
“We ended the year with $564 million of total liquidity, which is more than twice the upper end of our target range. We refinanced over $600 million of secured debt, including $114 million from redemptions that occurred after year end, which extended the maturities from the first and second quarters of fiscal 2026 until the fourth quarters of fiscal 2028 and fiscal 2029. Our excess liquidity will allow us to further grow our land position and thus increase our community count, which should result in higher levels of profitability in future years. At the same time, our strong cash flow allows us to continue to strengthen our balance sheet. Given our rapidly growing book value and significant debt reductions, which benefited from enhanced cash flow that resulted from our deferred tax asset, we think it is appropriate to consider a variety of metrics, including return on equity, enterprise value to adjusted EBITDA, EBIT return on investment and price to earnings multiple, when establishing a fair value for our stock. As we look ahead, we are excited about our prospects given the strength of long-term fundamentals underlying the new home market.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:
Consolidated earnings before interest expense and income taxes (“EBIT”) and before depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and before inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss on extinguishment of debt, net (“Adjusted EBITDA”) are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income. The reconciliation for historical periods of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income is presented in a table attached to 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 income before income taxes, which is defined as income before income taxes excluding land-related charges and loss on extinguishment of debt, net is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income before income taxes. The reconciliation for historical periods of adjusted income before income taxes to income before income taxes is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.
Net homebuilding debt to net capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) nonrecourse mortgages secured by inventory, net of debt issuance costs and senior notes and credit facilities (net of discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs), net of cash and cash equivalents (“net homebuilding debt”), by (ii) the sum of net homebuilding debt and total equity (“net capitalization”). Because we use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capitalization to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason. The calculation of net homebuilding debt to net capitalization ratio is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.
Total liquidity is comprised of $434.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $5.1 million of restricted cash required to collateralize letters of credit and $125.0 million availability under the senior secured revolving credit facility as of October 31, 2023.
