Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, stated: "Fiscal 2023 was exceptional for Toll Brothers, as we delivered another year of record results. We generated $9.9 billion of home sales revenues and increased earnings per share by 13% to $12.36 – driven by a 120-basis point increase in adjusted gross margin to 28.7% and a 90-basis point decrease in SG&A expense to 9.2%. Our fourth quarter results were equally strong. We delivered 2,755 homes and $2.95 billion in home sales revenues – $211 million above the midpoint of our guidance. Our adjusted gross margin in the quarter was 29.1% and our SG&A margin was 8.2%, both of which beat guidance by 60 basis points, and we earned $4.11 per diluted share. At year end, our book value per share was $65.49 and we generated a return on beginning equity of 22.8% for the year. Our business is operating at a very high level, and I thank the entire Toll Brothers team for their contributions to our strong performance.
"We have continued to see solid demand through our fourth quarter, as we signed 2,038 net contracts at an average price of $989,000. Contracts were up 72% in units compared to last year's fourth quarter and down 11% in average price, reflecting our strategic shift in mix. Based on our non-binding deposit activity through the first five weeks of our first quarter, demand remains solid and consistent with normal seasonality.
"As we approach the start of the spring selling season in January, we are encouraged by the recent 75 basis point drop in mortgage rates. With resale inventories at historic lows, buyers continue to be drawn to new homes, and we expect lower rates with lower inflation to add to this already solid demand. Our strategy of broadening our home offerings to include lower price points, coupled with our focus on increasing our supply of spec homes and growing our community count, has positioned us well for this market. At the end of fiscal 2023, we were operating from 370 communities, up from 348 at year-end 2022. We plan to further increase community count by approximately 10% in fiscal 2024.
"Over the long-term, the outlook for the new home market remains bright, supported by favorable demographics, the supply-demand imbalance that has resulted from over a decade of underproduction, and the aging of the country's existing housing stock. With our industry-leading luxury brand, Toll Brothers is well positioned to capitalize on these trends. Our strong balance sheet, low leverage, and ample liquidity, including significant projected cash flows from operations in fiscal 2024, should allow us to continue investing in our business while returning cash to shareholders well into the future."

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
This press release contains, and Company management's discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company's adjusted home sales gross margin and the Company's net debt-to-capital ratio.
These two measures are non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies in the home building business.
The Company's management considers these non-GAAP financial measures as we make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance, including against other home builders that may use similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company's management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in understanding our operations and leverage and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other home builders to the extent they provide similar information.
Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin
The following table reconciles the Company's home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company's adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted home sales gross margin is calculated as (i) home sales gross margin plus interest recognized in home sales cost of revenues plus inventory write-downs recognized in home sales cost of revenues divided by (ii) home sales revenues.

| Adjusted home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues | 29.1 | % | 29.0 | % | 28.7 | % | 27.5 | % | ||||||||
The Company's management believes adjusted home sales gross margin is a useful financial measure to investors because it allows them to evaluate the performance of our home building operations without the often varying effects of capitalized interest costs and inventory impairments. The use of adjusted home sales gross margin also assists the Company's management in assessing the profitability of our home building operations and making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix.
Forward-looking Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin
The Company has not provided projected first quarter and full FY 2024 home sales gross margin or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking adjusted home sales gross margin because such measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis, since inventory write-downs are based on future activity and observation and therefore cannot be projected for the first quarter and full FY 2024. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our first quarter and full FY 2024 home sales gross margin.
Net Debt-to-Capital Ratio
The following table reconciles the Company's ratio of debt to capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company's net debt-to-capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure). The net debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as (i) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents plus stockholders' equity.

The Company's management uses the net debt-to-capital ratio as an indicator of its overall leverage and believes it is a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company's operations.
