Dale Francescon, Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased that the third quarter of 2018 marked another quarter of significant earnings improvement for Century and double-digit percentage increases across all operating metrics. While rising interest rates and tightening affordability have created an industry-wide deceleration in housing growth, underlying fundamentals in our markets remain supportive of our reaffirmed outlook for the full-year 2018. Furthermore, we are pleased to announce a new 4.5 million stock repurchase program, which provides us with an additional avenue to enhance returns on equity for our stockholders.”

Rob Francescon, Co-Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our year-to-date results through the third quarter are at record levels due to our disciplined approach of investing capital into attractive markets. We have remained focused on strengthening our balance sheet as evidenced by our record high stockholders’ equity of $840.8 million, an increase of 29% from the end of the prior year quarter. We continued to diversify our geographic footprint and product mix, especially in the entry-level segment. During the third quarter, we expanded Wade Jurney Homes’ asset-light, lower price point operations into Texas, Arizona, Indiana and Ohio, which we anticipate will begin generating deliveries early next year.”

Third Quarter 2018 Results

Adjusted net income for the third quarter increased 46% to $26.1 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, as compared to $17.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income excludes the impact of one-time items associated with homebuilder acquisitions. Net income for the third quarter 2018 increased 80% to $17.0 million, or $0.56 per diluted share as compared to $9.5 million or $0.37 per diluted share for the prior year quarter.

Home sales revenues for the third quarter 2018 increased 47% to $552.9 million, compared to $374.9 million for the prior year quarter. The growth in home sales revenues was primarily attributable to an 80% increase in deliveries to 1,746 homes compared to 968 homes for the prior year quarter. Unfavorable weather in the Southeast towards the end of the third quarter 2018 disrupted construction and delayed a portion of home deliveries, which the Company now expects to deliver in the fourth quarter 2018. Average sales price of home deliveries for the third quarter 2018 was $316,700, compared to $387,300 in the prior year quarter, consistent with the Company’s expansion of its offering of entry level homes. Excluding the Wade Jurney Homes, the Company’s legacy regions experienced growth in home sales revenues and deliveries of 24% and 21% respectively.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, excluding interest and purchase price accounting, was consistent with our expectations at 21.2% in the third quarter 2018, as compared to 21.0% in the prior year quarter. Homebuilding gross margin percentage in the third quarter 2018 was 16.8%, as compared to 17.0% in the prior year quarter, with the difference attributable to a 220 basis point impact of purchase price accounting in the third quarter 2018 mostly offset by higher core profitability. SG&A as a percent of home sales revenues was 12.8%, compared to 12.3% in the prior year quarter, largely due to increased depreciation and amortization along with costs associated with our growth, including higher sales and marketing costs, headcount and costs related to the integration of Wade Jurney Homes.

Net new home contracts in the third quarter 2018 increased 66% to 1,515 homes, compared to 914 homes in the prior year quarter, attributable to stronger demand trends within the Texas and Southeast Regions and the benefit of our Wade Jurney Homes acquisitions, partly offset by constrained selling activities in portions of the Southeast due to unfavorable weather conditions in key markets near quarter end. Excluding Wade Jurney Homes, the Company’s legacy regions experienced growth of 20% in net new home contracts. At the end of the third quarter 2018, the Company had 2,988 homes in backlog, representing $931.0 million of backlog dollar value, compared to 1,664 homes in backlog, representing $689.3 million of backlog dollar value in the prior year quarter, an increase of 80% in units and 35% in dollar value.

Financial services generated pre-tax income of $1.7 million in the third quarter 2018 as compared to $0.5 million in the prior year quarter.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 4,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.

Full Year 2018 Outlook

David Messenger, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “Our year-to-date results put us on solid footing to achieve our objectives for the full year 2018. Based on our current market outlook, we reiterate our full year 2018 expectations for home deliveries to be in a range of 6,000 to 6,500 homes and home sales revenues expected to be in a range of $2.0 billion to $2.3 billion.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share (Adjusted Diluted EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is 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 acquisition costs and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process from the calculation of reported EPS.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding 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 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.

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) depreciation and amortization expense, and (v) 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 (senior notes payable and revolving line of credit less cash held in escrow and cash and cash equivalents) 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.
