    Management Commentary

    “The new home market continued to show impressive resiliency in the face of rising mortgage rates in the third quarter of 2023, thanks to a motivated buyer population and a lack of existing home supply,” said John Ho, Landsea Homes’ Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased with this quarter’s results and feel we are in a great position to end 2023 on a strong note. Net new orders for the quarter increased 89% year-over-year on a sales pace of 2.7 homes per community per month, as we saw an improvement in both gross order activity and cancellations. We also saw a significant improvement in building conditions in the third quarter, which led to better cycle times and an easing of cost pressures. We believe the gains we’ve made on this front are sustainable and expect our cycle times to return to pre-Covid levels in the new year.”

    Mr. Ho continued, “We believe that it is important to continue balancing our investments in the business with shareholder-friendly actions that reflect the strength of our business and our commitment to creating long-term shareholder value. To that end, our board has approved a $20 million share repurchase authorization, which we plan to deploy over the next twelve months. We believe our stock is undervalued at its current share price and look forward to buying our shares at a meaningful discount to book value and boosting our earnings per share through this repurchase program. This quarter we repurchased 1.4 million shares for $13.7 million, bringing our year-to date repurchases to 2.4 million shares for $21.2 million.”

    Mr. Ho concluded, “We believe that our High-Performance Homes series gives us a distinct advantage over the competition, particularly with the large and growing Millennial buyer segment. We are also confident in our leadership team’s ability to execute well and compete in a high interest rate environment. As a result, we remain very optimistic about the future of Landsea Homes.”

    Operating Results

    Total revenue was $277.3 million in the third quarter, down 17.4% compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by a 17.5% decrease in homes closed and a 4.2% decrease in average sales price.

    New homes delivered totaled 448 homes at an average sales price of $576,000 compared to 543 homes delivered at an average sales price of $601,000 in the third quarter of 2022.

    Net new home orders were 486 homes with a dollar value of $285.0 million, an average sales price of $587,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 2.7 sales per active community. This compares to 257 homes with a dollar value of $165.5 million, an average sales price of $644,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 1.5 sales per active community in the prior year period. As a percentage of gross orders, cancellations equaled 9.0% as compared to 11.0% in the prior quarter and 37.8% a year ago.

    Total homes in backlog were 760 homes with a dollar value of $482.7 million and an average sales price of $635,000 at September 30, 2023. This compares to 1,285 homes with a dollar value of $741.1 million and an average sales price of $577,000 at September 30, 2022.

    Total lots owned or controlled at September 30, 2023, were 11,203 compared to 12,410 at September 30, 2022. We continue to pursue an asset-light strategy, controlling 55% of our lots at the end of the third quarter of 2023 versus 45% owned.

    Home sales gross margin was 18.7% compared to 20.9% in the prior year period. Adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) was 24.0% compared to 27.2% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributed to the increase in sales discounts and incentives.

    Net income attributable to Landsea Homes was $8.6 million compared to $20.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to Landsea Homes (a non-GAAP measure) was $11.7 million compared to $27.6 million in the prior year period.

    Home Sales Gross Margins

    Home sales gross margin measures the price achieved on delivered homes compared to the costs needed to build the home. In the following table, we calculate gross margins adjusting for interest in cost of sales, inventory impairments, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company's operating results in accordance with GAAP. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the below information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that indebtedness, impairments, and acquisitions have on our gross margins and allows for comparability to previous periods and competitors.

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

    The following table presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in evaluating operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense (benefit), (ii) interest expenses, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) inventory impairments, (v) purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, (vi) loss (gain) on debt extinguishment or forgiveness, (vii) transaction costs related to the Merger and business combinations, (viii) write-off of deferred offering costs, (ix) abandoned projects costs, (x) the impact of income or loss allocations from our unconsolidated joint ventures, and (xi) loss on remeasurement of warrant liability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest, effective tax rates, levels of depreciation and amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. Accordingly, we believe this measure is useful for comparing our core operating performance from period to period. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

    Adjusted Net Income

    Adjusted Net Income attributable to Landsea Homes is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating and understanding our operating results without the effect of certain expenses that were historically pushed down by our parent company and other non-recurring items. We believe excluding these items provides a more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. Adjusted Net Income attributable to Landsea Homes is calculated by excluding the effects of related party interest that was pushed down by our parent company, purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, the impact from our unconsolidated joint ventures, Merger related transaction costs, loss (gain) on debt extinguishment or forgiveness, inventory impairment, and loss on remeasurement of warrant liability, and tax-effected using a blended statutory tax rate. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. We also adjust for the expense of related party interest pushed down from our parent company as we have no obligation to repay the debt and related interest.

    Net Debt to Total Capital

    The following table presents the ratio of debt to capital as well as the ratio of net debt to total capital which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ratio of debt to capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total debt, net of issuance costs, by total capital (sum of total debt, net of issuance costs, plus total equity).

    The non-GAAP ratio of net debt to total capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt, net of issuance costs, less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as well as cash held in escrow to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by total capital. The most comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. We believe the ratio of net debt to total capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We believe that by deducting our cash from our debt, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt to capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio of net debt to total capital provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered.

    See table below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to capital.
