Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE:BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

"In our second quarter we made progress towards our Multi-Year Goals and surpassed our profitability expectations despite challenging macroeconomic conditions and declining consumer sentiment. Our growing community count, improved construction cycle times and stable gross margins allowed us to generate Adjusted EBITDA of $38.8 million, net income of $12.8 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.42," said Allan P. Merrill, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We also repurchased approximately 905,000 shares of our common stock for $20.6 million."

Announcing changes to the Company's capital allocation strategy, Mr. Merrill said, "As a result of persistently weaker new home demand and the disparity between our current share price and book value, we are adjusting our capital allocation priorities to accommodate larger share repurchases and updating our Multi-Year Goals. Our Board of Directors has approved a new $100 million share repurchase authorization which we expect to execute over multiple years, while we continue to grow our community count, reduce our leverage ratio and increase book value per share."

Speaking to the Company's newly updated Multi-Year Goals, Mr. Merrill said, "We are adjusting the timeline for achieving our 'greater than 200' community count and 'low 30% range' deleveraging goals by one year, to fiscal year end 2027. This deferral will allow us to sustain annual community count growth and leverage ratio reductions, while preserving capital for share repurchases if our share price remains substantially below book value. In addition, we are adding a new Multi-Year Goal to achieve a double-digit compound annual growth in book value per share from the end of last fiscal year through fiscal 2027, reflecting our focus on creating shareholder value."

Commenting on the Company's longer-term outlook and differentiation strategy, Mr. Merrill said, "While current market conditions are challenging, constrained by affordability and weak consumer sentiment, we remain optimistic about the need for a growing number of new homes in the years ahead. Growth in the prime home buying demographic groups and a structural housing deficit in the markets we serve both underpin our confidence in new home demand. And, we are particularly enthusiastic about our differentiated positioning as America's #1 Energy-Efficient Homebuilder, having effectively accomplished our Zero Energy Ready goal with nearly 99% of our second fiscal quarter new home starts meeting this standard."

The following provides additional details on the Company's performance during the fiscal second quarter 2025:

Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $12.8 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $0.42. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $38.8 million was down $20.0 million, or 34.0%, largely due to lower operating margin, partially offset by higher revenues on higher closings.

Orders. Net new orders for the second quarter decreased to 1,098, down 15.5% from 1,299 in the prior year quarter, largely driven by a 27.1% decrease in sales pace to 2.3 orders per community per month from 3.1 in the prior year quarter, partially offset by a 15.9% increase in average community count to 163 from 140 a year ago. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 16.9%, up from 12.2% in the prior year quarter.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of March 31, 2025 was $831.5 million, representing 1,526 homes, compared to $1,075.1 million, representing 2,046 homes, at the same time last year. The ASP of homes in backlog was $544.9 thousand, up 3.7% versus the prior year quarter. The increase in backlog ASP was due to changes in product and community mix as well as price appreciation in certain communities.

Homebuilding Revenue. Second quarter homebuilding revenue was $556.0 million, up 3.2% year-over-year. The increase in homebuilding revenue was driven by a 3.4% increase in home closings to 1,079 homes, partially offset by a 0.1% decrease in ASP to $515.3 thousand. The increase in closings was largely due to the higher volume of spec homes that sold and closed within the current fiscal quarter and improved construction cycle times.

Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin was 15.1%, down 360 basis points compared to a year ago. Excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest, homebuilding gross margin was 18.3% for the second quarter, down from 21.7% in the prior year quarter largely due to an increase in price concessions and closing cost incentives, an increased share of spec home closings which generally have lower margins than "to be built" homes, and changes in product and community mix.

SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 12.0% for the quarter, up 50 basis points year-over-year largely due to higher sales and marketing costs and other G&A expenses as the Company continues to grow and activate new communities.

Land Position. For the current fiscal quarter, land acquisition and land development spending was $197.0 million, down 0.4% year-over-year. Controlled lots increased 5.2% to 28,290, compared to 26,887 from the prior year quarter. Excluding land held for future development and land held for sale lots, active lots controlled were 27,514, up 4.9% year-over-year. As of March 31, 2025, the Company controlled 59.3% of its total active lots through option agreements compared to 51.6% as of March 31, 2024.

Liquidity. At the close of the second quarter, the Company had $377.7 million of available liquidity, including $85.1 million of unrestricted cash and $292.6 million of remaining capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility, compared to total available liquidity of $432.9 million a year ago.

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. During January 2025, the Company increased the available borrowing capacity under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility from $300.0 million to $365.0 million.

Share Repurchases. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $20.6 million of its outstanding common stock through open market transactions at an average price per share of $22.73. In April 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. This newly authorized program replaced the prior share repurchase program.

Commitment to Sustainability

Beazer Homes is ranked as America's #1 Energy-Efficient Homebuilder with a gross 2024 HERS score of 42, which was the lowest of the top 30 national homebuilders (per Builder Magazine's list based on 2023 closings). The Company remains dedicated to continually enhancing the energy efficiency of its homes in support of its industry-first pledge that, by the end of calendar 2025, every new home the Company starts will be Zero Energy Ready, which means it will meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Zero Energy Ready Home program. Nearly 99% of the Company's fiscal second quarter new home starts were built to Zero Energy Ready standards, highlighting the Company's continued commitment to sustainable and energy-efficient building practices.

In February, Beazer Homes partnered with Green Builder Media to launch VISION House Las Vegas – an opportunity to spotlight the Company's commitment to the DOE Zero Energy Ready homebuilding by showcasing three model homes during Design and Construction Week. All three models are Zero Energy Ready, provide healthier indoor living with better indoor air quality, and showcase advanced construction techniques in energy and water efficiency, solar and energy storage, while focusing on resiliency and cost effectiveness.

In March, Beazer Homes organized its first National Day of Service, engaging nearly all of its employees across 17 cities, along with partners and suppliers, to support local nonprofit organizations. The Company also announced the donation of more than $3 million to Fisher House Foundation, representing extensive fundraising efforts by Beazer Homes employees, generous contributions from its partners, and a 150% match by the Beazer Charity Foundation for all donations. Fisher House Foundation is a nonprofit that provides free housing for military service members, veterans, and their families during medical care.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things:

macroeconomic uncertainty, including high levels of inflation, elevated interest rates, extreme stock market volatility, and historic changes in U.S. trade policy, negatively impacting consumer sentiment and softening demand for the homes we sell;
elevated mortgage interest rates for prolonged periods, as well as further increases to, and reduced availability of, mortgage financing due to, among other factors, additional actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflation;
supply chain challenges (including as a result of U.S. trade policies and retaliatory responses from other countries) negatively impacting our homebuilding production, including shortages of raw materials and other critical components such as windows, doors, and appliances;
our ability to meet or achieve our sustainability related goals, aspirations, initiatives, and our public statements and disclosures regarding them;
inaccurate estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog), as they are subject to various cancellation risks that cannot be fully controlled;
factors affecting margins, such as adjustments to home pricing, increased sales incentives and mortgage rate buy down programs in order to remain competitive, and changes in U.S trade policy;
decreased revenues;
decreased land values underlying land option agreements;
increased land development costs in communities under development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce our cycle times and production and overhead cost structures;
not being able to pass on cost increases (including cost increases due to increasing the energy efficiency of our homes) through pricing increases;
the availability and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our inventory;
our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital, due to factors such as limitations in the capital markets (including market volatility), adverse credit market conditions and financial institution disruptions, and our ability to otherwise meet our ongoing liquidity needs (which could cause us to fail to meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under our various debt instruments and therefore trigger an acceleration of a significant portion or all of our outstanding debt obligations), including the impact of any downgrades of our credit ratings or reduction in our liquidity levels;
market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital);
inefficient or ineffective allocation of capital, including with respect to planned share repurchases;
changes in tax laws or otherwise regarding the deductibility of mortgage interest expenses and real estate taxes, including those resulting from regulatory guidance and interpretations issued with respect thereto, such as the IRS's guidance regarding heightened qualification requirements for federal credits for building energy-efficient homes;
increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design;
natural disasters (such as the California wildfires in January 2025) or other related events that could result in delays in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease demand in the impacted areas;
shortages of or increased costs for labor used in housing production, including as a result of federal or state legislation and/or enforcement, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by such labor;
terrorist acts, protests and civil unrest, political uncertainty, acts of war or other factors over which the Company has no control;
potential negative impacts of public health emergencies and lingering impacts of past pandemics;
the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets;
a change in the current tax law including, but not limited to, an increase in corporate tax rates or the loss of or future unavailability of certain energy efficiency tax credits;
potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or governmental policies, including those related to the environment;
the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations;
the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims;
the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds, as well as the sufficiency of these instruments to cover potential losses incurred;
the impact of information technology failures, cybersecurity issues or data security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents deploying evolving artificial intelligence tools and incidents impacting third-party service providers that we depend on to conduct our business;
the impact of governmental regulations on homebuilding in key markets, such as regulations limiting the availability of water and electricity (including availability of electrical equipment such as transformers and meters); and
the success of our sustainability initiatives, including our ability to meet our goal that by the end of 2025 every home we start will be Zero Energy Ready, as well as the success of any other related partnerships or pilot programs we may enter into in order to increase the energy efficiency of our homes and prepare for a Zero Energy Ready future.

Any forward-looking statement, including any statement expressing confidence regarding future outcomes, speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and homebuilding gross margin (GAAP measures) to homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin excluding impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales (non-GAAP measures) is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that this information assists investors in comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective level of impairments and level of debt. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of net income (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP measure) is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing core operating results and underlying business trends by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position, level of impairments, and other non-recurring items. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

^(a)"LTM" indicates amounts for the trailing 12 months.
^(b) In periods during which we impaired certain of our inventory assets, capitalized interest that is impaired is included in the line above titled "Interest amortized to home construction and land sales expenses and capitalized interest impaired."
^(c) We previously held a minority interest in a technology company specializing in digital marketing for new home communities, which was sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. In exchange for the previously held investment, we received cash in escrow along with a minority partnership interest in the acquiring company, which was recorded within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting gain of $8.6 million from this transaction was recognized in other income, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company believes excluding this one-time gain from Adjusted EBITDA provides a better reflection of the Company's performance as this item is not representative of our core operations.

Reconciliation of total debt to total capitalization ratio (GAAP measure) to net debt to net capitalization ratio (non-GAAP measure) is provided for each period below. Management believes that net debt to net capitalization ratio is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
