KB HOME REPORTS 2014 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
Fourth Quarter Revenues Increase 29% to $796 Million
Net Income of $853 Million, Including Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance Reversal
Net Order Value Up 22% to $587 Million; Backlog Value Up 34% to $914 Million
LOS ANGELES (January 13, 2015) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized homebuilders, today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 30, 2014. Highlights and developments include the following:
Three Months Ended November 30, 2014
| |
• | Total revenues of $796.0 million increased 29% from $618.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, driven by growth in the Company’s housing revenues as a result of a greater volume of homes delivered and higher average selling prices. The Company’s revenues have now increased on a year-over-year basis for 13 consecutive quarters. |
| |
◦ | The Company delivered 2,229 homes in the fourth quarter, an increase of 9% from 2,038 homes delivered in the year-earlier quarter. More homes were delivered in each of the Company’s homebuilding regions compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. |
| |
◦ | The overall average selling price of homes delivered rose 17% to $351,500, up from $301,100 for the same period of 2013, marking the Company’s 18th straight quarter of year-over-year growth. |
| |
▪ | The increase in the average selling price was largely due to a shift in the regional mix of homes delivered and higher home selling prices at communities located in northern California markets within the Company’s West Coast homebuilding region, as well as generally favorable market conditions. |
| |
▪ | Average selling prices were higher in all of the Company’s homebuilding regions compared to the same quarter of 2013, with increases ranging from 1% in the Southwest region to 17% in the West Coast region. |
| |
• | Homebuilding operating income totaled $30.0 million, compared to $47.0 million in the year-earlier quarter. The current quarter included $34.2 million of inventory impairment charges, of which $23.2 million related to the planned future land sale of a non-strategic asset. The 2013 fourth quarter included $8.5 million of warranty-related charges and $3.3 million of inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges. |
| |
◦ | The housing gross profit margin declined 60 basis points to 17.3% from 17.9% in the year-earlier quarter. Excluding the housing inventory- and warranty-related charges, the Company’s fourth quarter adjusted housing gross profit margin was 18.7% in 2014 and 19.8% in 2013. The decrease occurred primarily within inland markets of the Company’s West Coast homebuilding region. |
| |
◦ | Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues increased to 10.5% from 10.3% in the year-earlier quarter. In the 2013 fourth quarter, these expenses were partially offset by the reversal of an $8.2 million accrual following a favorable court decision. Excluding the impact of this reversal, the Company’s selling, general and administrative expense ratio was 11.6% in the 2013 fourth quarter. |
| |
• | Interest expense decreased to $4.5 million from $21.6 million in the year-earlier quarter due to an increase in the amount of the Company’s inventory qualifying for interest capitalization in the current quarter and the inclusion of a $10.4 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the 2013 fourth quarter. |
| |
• | The Company’s financial services operations generated pretax income of $3.4 million in the current quarter, up from $3.1 million in the year-earlier quarter. The current quarter results included $1.0 million of pretax income from Home Community Mortgage, LLC, the Company’s mortgage banking joint venture with Nationstar Mortgage LLC that commenced operations in July 2014. |
| |
• | Net income for the quarter totaled $852.8 million, or $8.36 per diluted share, including an income tax benefit of $824.2 million that reflected the Company’s $825.2 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance reversal. |
| |
◦ | This marks the eighth consecutive quarter that the Company has generated year-over-year bottom-line improvement. |
Twelve Months Ended November 30, 2014
| |
• | Revenues of $2.40 billion were up 14% from $2.10 billion in the year-earlier period. |
| |
• | The Company delivered 7,215 homes, up from 7,145 homes delivered in 2013. |
| |
• | The overall average selling price of $328,400 increased 13% from $291,700 in the prior year. |
| |
• | Homebuilding operating income rose to $116.0 million, up $23.9 million from $92.1 million in 2013. |
| |
• | The Company’s pretax income increased to $94.9 million, up $56.5 million from $38.4 million in 2013. |
| |
• | Net income of $918.3 million, or $9.25 per diluted share, increased significantly from $40.0 million, or $.46 per diluted share, in 2013 largely due to the current year tax benefit associated with the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance reversal. |
Backlog and Net Orders
| |
• | The Company’s backlog at November 30, 2014 was comprised of 2,909 homes, up 14% from 2,557 homes in backlog at November 30, 2013. Potential future housing revenues in backlog grew 34% to $914.0 million at November 30, 2014 from $682.5 million at November 30, 2013. |
| |
◦ | The number of homes in backlog and corresponding backlog value at November 30, 2014 reached their highest year-end levels since 2007. |
| |
• | Total net order value in the 2014 fourth quarter rose 22% to $587.4 million, up from $481.7 million in the year-earlier quarter. This marked the 11th straight quarter of year-over-year increases. |
| |
◦ | Three of the Company’s four homebuilding regions posted year-over-year growth in net order value, ranging from 9% in the Central region to 41% in the Southwest region. The Company’s Southeast region was essentially flat with the same quarter a year ago. |
| |
• | Fourth quarter net orders increased 10% to 1,706 from 1,556 for the year-earlier quarter, reflecting the Company’s higher average community count and its emphasis on balancing home selling prices and sales pace to optimize the performance of its new home communities. |
| |
◦ | The current quarter cancellation rate as a percentage of gross orders was roughly flat with 2013 at 37%. As a percentage of beginning backlog, the fourth quarter cancellation rate was 29% for both 2014 and 2013. |
| |
• | The overall average community count for the fourth quarter increased 13% to 214 from 190 for the year-earlier quarter. |
| |
◦ | The Company ended 2014 with 227 communities open for sales, up 19% from 191 communities a year ago. The Company’s year-end community count has increased 32% over the past two years. |
Balance Sheet
| |
• | Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $383.6 million at November 30, 2014, compared to $329.5 million at August 31, 2014 and $572.0 million at November 30, 2013. |
| |
◦ | The Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility at November 30, 2014. |
| |
• | Inventories increased to $3.22 billion at November 30, 2014, up 40% from $2.30 billion at November 30, 2013, reflecting the Company’s investment strategy to support future growth, as well as land and land development distributed to the Company from an unconsolidated joint venture in 2014. |
| |
◦ | The Company’s investments in land acquisition and development totaled $1.47 billion for 2014, up 28% from $1.14 billion for 2013. |
| |
• | The Company’s debt balance of $2.58 billion at November 30, 2014 rose from $2.15 billion at November 30, 2013, mainly due to the underwritten public issuance of $400 million of senior notes in the second quarter of 2014. |
| |
◦ | The Company’s ratio of debt to capital improved to 61.8% as of November 30, 2014 from 80.0% as of November 30, 2013. |
| |
◦ | The ratio of net debt to capital improved to 57.9% at November 30, 2014 from 74.6% a year ago. |
| |
• | Stockholders’ equity increased to $1.60 billion at November 30, 2014 from $536.1 million at November 30, 2013. This marks the Company’s highest year-end stockholders’ equity since 2007. |
Management Comments
“The commitment and focus of our team throughout 2014 produced significant improvements in our financial and operational results,” said Jeffrey Mezger, president and chief executive officer. “A particularly notable accomplishment in the fourth quarter was the reversal of nearly all of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. This reversal, grounded in our consistent profitability in recent quarters, as well as our positive outlook for our business, the housing market and the broader economy, had a measurable impact on our financial position. Among other things, it nearly tripled our stockholders’ equity from a year ago, significantly reduced our debt leverage ratio, and, going forward, is expected to shelter, on a cash basis, more than two billion dollars of future earnings from income taxes. All of this will meaningfully support our ability to advance our business goals.”
“Through execution on our core strategic initiatives, we also achieved our community count growth objective, ending the fourth quarter with 227 communities, a 19% increase from last year,” continued Mezger. “Our higher community count helped us generate double-digit year-over-year growth in net orders, a 22% increase in net order value, and a 34% rise in our ending backlog value for the quarter. Looking forward, we believe that our higher backlog and expanded community footprint have positioned us for further success in the coming year.”
“We are energized by our achievements in 2014 and the opportunities ahead,” said Mezger. “To build on our progress, in 2015 we will focus on key initiatives to extend our profitable growth trajectory and enhance our capital efficiency. These initiatives will emphasize generating cash from our operations, expanding our
community count, gaining share in our served markets, increasing our operating income margin and improving our return on invested capital, with the aim of driving enhanced long-term performance and value for our stockholders.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
For the Twelve Months and Three Months Ended November 30, 2014 and 2013
(In Thousands, Except Percentages)
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 housing gross profit margin and ratio of net debt to capital, both of which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful to investors in understanding its operations and the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. However, because the adjusted housing gross profit margin and the ratio of net debt to capital are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these financial measures may not be completely comparable to other companies in the homebuilding industry and thus, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to the operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, these non-GAAP financial measures should be used to supplement their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations.
Adjusted Housing Gross Profit Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s housing gross profit margin calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Twelve Months | | Three Months |
| 2014 | | 2013 | | 2014 | | 2013 |
Housing revenues | $ | 2,369,633 |
| | $ | 2,084,103 |
| | $ | 783,460 |
| | $ | 613,699 |
|
Housing construction and land costs | (1,940,100 | ) | | (1,736,320 | ) | | (647,876 | ) | | (503,676 | ) |
Housing gross profits | 429,533 |
| | 347,783 |
| | 135,584 |
| | 110,023 |
|
Add: Housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges | 12,788 |
| | 3,581 |
| | 10,985 |
| | 3,297 |
|
Warranty-related charges | — |
| | 31,959 |
| | — |
| | 8,481 |
|
Adjusted housing gross profits | $ | 442,321 |
| | $ | 383,323 |
| | $ | 146,569 |
| | $ | 121,801 |
|
Housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues | 18.1 | % | | 16.7 | % | | 17.3 | % | | 17.9 | % |
Adjusted housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues | 18.7 | % | | 18.4 | % | | 18.7 | % | | 19.8 | % |
Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing housing revenues less housing construction and land costs excluding housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges and warranty-related charges (as applicable) recorded during a given period, by housing revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is housing gross profit margin. The Company believes adjusted housing gross profit margin is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as it measures the gross profits the Company generated specifically on the homes delivered during a given period and enhances the comparability between periods. The Company also believes investors will find adjusted housing gross profit margin relevant and useful because it represents a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of the housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges and warranty-related charges (as applicable). This financial measure assists management in making strategic decisions regarding product mix, product pricing and construction pace.

| | 536,086 |

Total capital | $ | 3,788,834 |
| | $ | 2,114,583 |
|
Ratio of net debt to capital | 57.9 | % | | 74.6 | % |
The ratio of net debt to capital is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, by capital (notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, plus stockholders’ equity). The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net debt to capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
