KB HOME REPORTS 2015 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
Fourth Quarter Revenues Up 24% to $986 Million; Pretax Income Up Significantly to $70 Million
Backlog Value Increases 40% to $1.3 Billion
LOS ANGELES (January 7, 2016) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized homebuilders, today reported results for its fourth quarter and year ended November 30, 2015. Highlights and developments include the following:
Three Months Ended November 30, 2015
| |
• | Total revenues grew 24% from the year-earlier quarter to $985.8 million, marking the Company’s 17th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue increases. |
| |
◦ | Housing revenues rose 25% to $979.8 million from $783.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, driven by increased delivery volume and a higher overall average selling price. |
| |
▪ | The Company delivered 2,580 homes, up 16% from 2,229 a year ago, representing its highest number of fourth-quarter deliveries since 2009. |
| |
▪ | The overall average selling price of $379,800 rose 8% from $351,500 in the year-earlier quarter, reflecting increases in each of the Company’s four regions, including double-digit increases in the Southwest and Central regions. |
| |
◦ | Land sale revenues totaled $2.3 million, compared to $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. |
| |
▪ | Homebuilding operating income increased to $70.4 million from $30.0 million in the corresponding quarter of 2014. The current quarter included $5.1 million of inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges, while the year-earlier quarter included $34.2 million of inventory impairment charges. |
| |
◦ | The Company’s housing gross profit margin of 17.2% improved 100 basis points from the third quarter |
of 2015 and was essentially flat with the year-earlier quarter. The current quarter housing gross profit margin included approximately 50 basis points of inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges.
| |
▪ | The Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin, which excludes the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations and housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges, was 22.2%, representing a 110 basis-point improvement from the third quarter of 2015 and a 50 basis-point decrease from the fourth quarter of 2014. The year-over-year adjusted housing gross profit margin comparison for the current period improved by 180 basis points relative to the year-over-year comparison for the first quarter of 2015. |
| |
◦ | Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 10.0% of housing revenues, a 190 basis-point improvement compared to the third quarter of 2015 and 50 basis-point improvement from the year-earlier quarter. It was the Company’s lowest fourth-quarter ratio since 2007. |
| |
• | Interest expense of $4.0 million decreased slightly from $4.5 million in the year-earlier quarter, largely due to a higher amount of the Company’s inventory qualifying for interest capitalization. |
| |
• | The Company’s financial services operations generated pretax income of $4.1 million, up from $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, reflecting an increase in the equity in income from Home Community Mortgage, LLC, the Company’s mortgage banking joint venture. |
| |
• | The Company’s pretax income increased to $69.9 million, its highest fourth-quarter level since 2005 and a 144% increase from the $28.6 million reported in the year-earlier quarter. |
| |
• | Net income totaled $44.0 million, or $.43 per diluted share, versus $852.8 million, or $8.36 per diluted share a year ago. The 2014 fourth-quarter result reflected the Company’s reversal of $825.2 million of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance. |
| |
◦ | Income tax expense for the current quarter was $25.9 million and represented an effective tax rate of 37.0%. The income tax benefit of $824.2 million in the year-earlier quarter included the impact of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance reversal. |
Twelve Months Ended November 30, 2015
| |
• | Total revenues increased to $3.03 billion, up 26% from $2.40 billion in the year-earlier period. |
| |
◦ | Housing revenues rose 23% to $2.91 billion from $2.37 billion in 2014. |
| |
▪ | Homes delivered increased 14% to 8,196, compared to 7,215 a year ago. |
| |
▪ | The overall average selling price of $354,800 rose 8% from $328,400 in the prior year. |
| |
◦ | Land sale revenues increased to $112.8 million from $20.0 million in 2014. |
| |
• | Homebuilding operating income of $138.6 million rose 20% from $116.0 million in 2014. |
| |
• | Pretax income increased 34% to $127.0 million, up from $94.9 million a year ago. |
| |
• | Net income totaled $84.6 million, or $.85 per diluted share, compared to $918.3 million, or $9.25 per diluted share in 2014. |
| |
◦ | Income tax expense totaled $42.4 million and represented an effective tax rate of 33.4% in 2015. The effective tax rate reflects the favorable impact of federal energy tax credits the Company earned from building energy efficient homes. The Company’s income tax benefit of $823.4 million in 2014 reflected the impact of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance reversal. |
Backlog and Net Orders
| |
• | The dollar value of homes in backlog grew 40% to $1.28 billion at November 30, 2015 from $914.0 million at November 30, 2014, reflecting substantial increases in each of the Company’s four regions. These increases ranged from 15% in the West Coast region to 104% in the Southwest region. |
| |
◦ | The number of homes in backlog at November 30, 2015 increased 36% to 3,966, compared to 2,909 a year ago. |
| |

| |

| |
◦ | The cancellation rate as a percentage of gross orders improved to 32% from 37% for the fourth quarter of 2014, and as a percentage of beginning backlog improved to 19% versus 29% a year ago. |
| |
◦ | The Company’s overall average community count for the fourth quarter increased 17% to 250, compared to 214 for the year-earlier quarter. At November 30, 2015, the Company had 247 communities open for sales, up 9% from 227 communities a year ago. |

Management Comments
“Our fourth-quarter results represent a strong finish to a successful year for KB Home, where we generated substantial improvement in many key metrics, including our highest fourth-quarter pretax income since 2005,” said Jeffrey Mezger, president and chief executive officer. “In 2015, we achieved measurable growth and profitability, advanced our core strategies and continued to invest in our operating platform. Of particular importance, we effectively targeted and executed on key initiatives that accelerated our revenues and earnings in the second half of the year and produced sequential improvement in our housing gross profit margin as 2015 progressed.”
“While inclement weather and trade shortages in certain markets tempered our fourth-quarter deliveries and revenues, we have a positive rhythm in our business and substantial momentum as we enter 2016,” continued Mezger. “With our higher backlog giving us strong visibility for potential future deliveries and revenues, and housing market conditions expected to remain generally healthy, we believe we are well-positioned strategically, financially and operationally for further success in 2016. As we move forward, we will remain focused on executing on our strategy, providing an outstanding customer experience, and creating stockholder value.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
For the Twelve Months and Three Months Ended November 30, 2015 and 2014
(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, therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to 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 |
| 2015 | | 2014 | | 2015 | | 2014 |
Housing revenues | $ | 2,908,236 |
| | $ | 2,369,633 |
| | $ | 979,841 |
| | $ | 783,460 |
|
Housing construction and land costs | (2,433,683 | ) | | (1,940,100 | ) | | (811,153 | ) | | (647,876 | ) |
Housing gross profits | 474,553 |
| | 429,533 |
| | 168,688 |
| | 135,584 |
|
Add: Amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations | 126,817 |
| | 90,804 |
| | 43,767 |
| | 31,333 |
|
Housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges | 9,591 |
| | 12,788 |
| | 5,075 |
| | 10,985 |
|
Adjusted housing gross profits | $ | 610,961 |
| | $ | 533,125 |
| | $ | 217,530 |
| | $ | 177,902 |
|
Housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues | 16.3 | % | | 18.1 | % | | 17.2 | % | | 17.3 | % |
Adjusted housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues | 21.0 | % | | 22.5 | % | | 22.2 | % | | 22.7 | % |
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 (a) amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations and (b) housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges 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. This non-GAAP financial measure isolates the impact that the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, and housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges have on housing gross profit margins, and allows investors to make comparisons with the Company’s competitors that adjust housing gross profit margins in a similar manner. 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 amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, and housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges. This financial measure assists management in making strategic decisions regarding product mix, product pricing and construction pace.

| | $ | 4,172,435 |
|
Ratio of debt to capital | 60.8 | % | | 61.8 | % |
| | | |
Notes payable | $ | 2,625,536 |
| | $ | 2,576,525 |
|

Net debt | 2,057,150 |
| | 2,192,924 |
|
Stockholders’ equity | 1,690,834 |
| | 1,595,910 |
|
Total capital | $ | 3,747,984 |
| | $ | 3,788,834 |
|
Ratio of net debt to capital | 54.9 | % | | 57.9 | % |
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.
