Management Comments
“We are proud to announce an outstanding quarter at LGI Homes
highlighting record-setting closings, revenues, average home sales
price, community count, net income and EPS,” stated Eric Lipar, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “Based
on these solid results during the first half of the year, increased
demand for homeownership, and robust orders we believe we are well
positioned to finish the year strong and are updating our guidance.
For the full year 2017, we now anticipate to close more than 5,000
homes. In addition, we are raising the range of our full year EPS
guidance to $4.25 to $4.75 per basic share.”
2017 Second Quarter Results
Home closings during the second quarter of 2017 increased 34.0%
to 1,511 from 1,128 during the second quarter of 2016. Active
selling communities increased to 71 at the end of the second
quarter of 2017, up from 56 communities at the end of the second
quarter of 2016.
Home sales revenues for the second quarter of 2017 were $324.2
million, an increase of $101.5 million, or 45.6% over the second
quarter of 2016. The increase in home sales revenues is due to both
the increase in the number of homes closed and an increase in the
average home sales price.
The average home sales price was $214,545 for the second quarter
of 2017, an increase of 8.7% over the second quarter of 2016. This
increase is largely attributable to changes in product mix, price
points in new markets, and a favorable pricing environment.
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues for the
second quarter of 2017 was 26.6% as compared to 26.5% for the
second quarter of 2016. Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a
percentage of home sales revenues for the second quarter of 2017
was 28.0% as compared to 27.8% for the second quarter of 2016. This
increase is primarily due to a combination of higher average home
sales prices and construction costs, and to a lesser extent a
one-time reimbursement of costs associated with community
development. Please see “Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of
adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) to gross margin, the most
comparable GAAP measure.
Net income of $32.2 million, or $1.49 per basic share and $1.39
per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017 increased $11.5
million, or 55.9%, from $20.7 million for the second quarter of
2016. This increase is primarily attributable to the 34.0% increase
in homes closed and the 8.7% increase in average home sales
price.
Results for the Six Months Ended June 30,
2017
Home closings for the six months ended June 30, 2017
increased 15.2% to 2,272 from 1,972 during the six months ended
June 30, 2016.
Home sales revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017
increased 26.5% to $487.1 million compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2016. The increase in home sales revenues is
primarily due to the increase in the number of homes closed and an
increase in the average home sales price.
The average home sales price was $214,388 for the six months
ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $19,060, or 9.8%, over the
six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is largely
attributable to changes in product mix, price points in new
markets, and a favorable pricing environment.
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2017 was 26.7% as compared to 26.1% for
the six months ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted gross
margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 2017 was 28.0% as compared to 27.3%
for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is
primarily due to a combination of leveraging our construction costs
and lot costs with higher average home sales price. Please see
“Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin
(non-GAAP) to gross margin, the most comparable GAAP measure.
Net income of $44.0 million, or $2.05 per basic share and $1.91
per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017
increased $11.6 million, or 35.9%, from $32.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is primarily
attributable to the 15.2% increase in homes closed and the 9.8%
increase in average home sales price.
Outlook
Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section
of this press release, the Company offers the following updated
guidance for 2017. The Company believes it will have between 75 and
80 active selling communities at the end of 2017, close more than
5,000 homes in 2017, and generate basic EPS between $4.25 and $4.75
per share during 2017. In addition, the Company believes 2017 gross
margin as a percentage of home sales revenues will be in the range
of 25.0% and 27.0% and 2017 adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a
percentage of home sales revenues will be similar to previous years
in the range of 26.5% and 28.5% with capitalized interest
accounting for substantially all of the difference between gross
margin and adjusted gross margin. The Company also believes that
the average home sales price in 2017 will be between $210,000 and
$220,000. This outlook assumes that general economic conditions,
including interest rates and mortgage availability, in the
remainder of 2017 are similar to those in the first half of 2017
and that average home sales price, construction costs, availability
of land, land development costs and overall absorption rates for
2017 are consistent with the Company’s recent experience.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has provided information in
this press release relating to Adjusted Gross Margin.
Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial
measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating
operating performance. The Company defines adjusted gross margin as
gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting
from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of
sales. Management believes this information is useful because it
isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase
accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because
adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and
purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects
and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of adjusted
gross margin information as a measure of the Company’s operating
performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not
calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that
the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information
should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin
information as a measure of the Company’s performance.
The following table reconciles adjusted gross
margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that
management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in
thousands):
