    INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., Feb. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: TPH) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021 and full year 2021. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $250 million of common stock under its existing stock repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”), increasing the aggregate authorization under the Repurchase Program from $500 million to $750 million.

    “Tri Pointe Homes had a record-breaking 2021 in terms of profitability and a company-best return on average equity of 20.3%,” said Doug Bauer, Chief Executive Officer of Tri Pointe Homes. “We ended the year on a high note, generating fourth quarter earnings of $1.33 per diluted share, a 45% year-over-year improvement. We also met or exceeded our previously stated guidance for key operational metrics for the quarter due in large part to the excellent job that our team members’ did navigating the supply chain challenges that persist in our industry.”

    “The factors that contributed to our fourth quarter success continue to provide momentum, including demand for new homes that has outstripped supply across our markets. We continue to see motivated buyers across our geographic footprint, driven in part by strong demographics and an overall change in attitude towards home ownership brought on by the pandemic, both of which we believe are long-term shifts. We believe that these persisting trends, combined with the limited supply of existing home inventory available for sale, make for a promising outlook for our industry.”

    Bauer concluded, “Tri Pointe Homes is poised to build on the record-breaking success we experienced in 2021. We had 50% more lots under control at the end of 2021 than we did in the prior-year, which should provide us with a strong runway for future growth. In addition, our strong balance sheet and sizable backlog give us a favorable market position going forward, making me extremely optimistic about the future of Tri Pointe Homes.”

    “Our sales pace for the fourth quarter came in at 4.3 homes per community per month, which is well above seasonal norms for that time of year,” said Tri Pointe Homes President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “Demand was consistent company-wide, as each of our regions registered a sales pace above 3.9. We believe this is a testament to the innovative design and broad-based appeal of our homes as well as our strong market positioning. Last year’s successful one-brand initiative simplified our marketing processes across our divisions, while amplifying our unified brand across the country. We feel these factors have positioned Tri Pointe for continuing success into 2022 and beyond.”

    RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    (unaudited)

    In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they 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.

    The following tables reconcile homebuilding gross margin percentage, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the non-GAAP financial measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage and non-cash impairments and lot option abandonments, as applicable, have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who may adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

    RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
    (unaudited)

    The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the non-GAAP ratio of net debt-to-net capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-net capital is a relevant financial measure for management and investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain financing.

    (1) The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing debt by the sum of debt plus equity.
    (2) The ratio of net debt-to-net capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus equity.

    RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
    (unaudited)

    The following table calculates the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA means net income before (a) interest expense, (b) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales, (c) income taxes and (d) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before (e) amortization of stock-based compensation, (f) real estate inventory impairments and lot option abandonments, (g) early loan termination costs and (h) restructuring charges. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of the Company’s ability to service debt and obtain financing.
