PRESS RELEASE
Beazer Homes Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
ATLANTA, February 2, 2023 - Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
“Despite a challenging new home sales environment, we generated strong first quarter financial results,” said Allan P. Merrill, the company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Year-over-year increases in home prices, healthy gross margins and careful management of overhead costs led to $24 million of net income, $47 million in Adjusted EBITDA and $0.80 of earnings per share.”
Commenting on current market conditions, Mr. Merrill said, “The environment for new home sales was extraordinarily challenging early in the first quarter as 30-year mortgage rates moved above 7%, worsening an already difficult affordability equation for most home buyers. Toward the end of the quarter, as mortgage rates fell modestly, we experienced improved online and in-person visits, which led to a meaningful acceleration in our new home orders in January. We will continue to make necessary adjustments to home pricing, incentives and included features to remain competitive, while pursuing our efforts to reduce cycle times and construction costs.”
Looking further out, Mr. Merrill concluded, “We remain confident in the multi-year growth of our business and the underlying strength of the new home industry. The gap between the structural demand for homes and the likely supply of homes - which has given rise to a multimillion home deficit over the past decade - remains in place. With a seasoned operating team, an ample supply of lots and a more efficient and less leveraged balance sheet, we remain confident that we will be able to create durable value for our stakeholders in the years ahead.”

The following provides additional details on the Company's performance during the fiscal first quarter 2023:
Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $24.4 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $0.80. This included the impact of energy efficiency tax credits of $3.0 million or $0.10 per share compared to $3.2 million of such credits or $0.10 per share in the prior year quarter. First quarter adjusted EBITDA of $47.1 million was down $14.0 million, or 22.9%, primarily due to lower gross margin.
Orders. Net new orders for the first quarter decreased to 482, down 57.8% from 1,141 in the prior year period. The decrease in net new orders was driven by a 60.1% decrease in sales pace to 1.3 orders per community per month, down from 3.3 in the prior year period. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 37.1%, up from 11.8% in the
previous year, reflecting the weakening in housing demand as a result of elevated mortgage rates. Our cancellations as a percentage of fiscal 2023 first quarter beginning backlog was 13.6%.
Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of December 31, 2022 was $940.9 million, representing 1,740 homes, compared to $1.4 billion, representing 2,908 homes, at the same time last year. The average selling price of homes in backlog was $540.8 thousand, up 11.9% versus the previous year.
Homebuilding Revenue. First quarter homebuilding revenue was $444.1 million, relatively flat year-over-year on a 21.6% increase in the average selling price to $533.1 thousand, which was more than offset by an 18.3% decrease in home closings to 833 homes.
Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin (excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest) was 22.3% for the first quarter, down 190 basis points year-over-year. The reduction in gross margin reflected an increase in price concessions as demand weakened.
SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 12.3% for the quarter, up 50 basis points year-over-year primarily due to decreases in closings and revenue, while SG&A on an absolute dollar basis increased by $1.2 million, or 2.2%, year-over-year.
Land Position. Controlled lots increased 7.3% to 24,735, compared to 23,049 from the prior year. Excluding land held for future development and land held for sale lots, active lots controlled were 23,962, up 6.8% year-over-year. Compared to prior fiscal quarter, active controlled lots were down 435 lots, or 1.8%, as the Company continued to re-underwrite and re-negotiate land deals to reflect the current environment. As of December 31, 2022, the Company controlled 54.4% of its total active lots through option contracts compared to 54.6% a quarter ago and 49.2% a year ago. For the current fiscal quarter, land acquisition and land development spending was $114.7 million, down 12.2% year-over-year and down 24.0% sequentially from the prior fiscal quarter.
Liquidity. At the close of the first quarter, the Company had $385.7 million of available liquidity, including $120.7 million of unrestricted cash and $265.0 million of remaining capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility.
Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility with committed borrowing capacity of $265.0 million, which replaced a $250.0 million secured revolving credit facility.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things: (i) the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and further deterioration in homebuilding industry conditions; (ii) continued increases in mortgage interest rates and reduced availability of mortgage financing due to, among other factors, recent and likely continued actions by the Federal Reserve to address sharp increases in inflation; (iii) other economic changes nationally and in local markets, including changes in consumer confidence, wage levels, declines in employment levels, and an increase in the number of foreclosures, each of which is outside our control and affects the affordability of, and demand for, the homes we sell; (iv) continued supply chain challenges negatively impacting our homebuilding production, including shortages of raw materials and other critical components such as windows, doors, and appliances; (v) continued shortages of or increased costs for labor used in housing production, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by such labor; (vi) inaccurate estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog), as they are subject to various cancellation risks that cannot be fully controlled; (vii) potential negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, in addition to exacerbating each of the risks listed above and below, may include a significant decrease in demand for our homes or consumer confidence generally with respect to purchasing a home, an inability to sell and build homes in a typical manner or at all, increased costs or decreased supply of building materials, including lumber, or the availability of subcontractors, housing inspectors, and other third-parties we rely on to support our operations, and recognizing charges in future periods, which may be material, for goodwill impairments, inventory impairments and/or land option agreement abandonments; (viii) factors affecting margins, such as adjustments to home pricing, increased sales incentives and mortgage rate buy down programs in order to remain competitive; decreased revenues; decreased land values underlying land option agreements; increased land development costs in communities under development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce our cycle times and production and overhead cost structures; not being able to pass on cost increases (including cost increases due to increasing the energy efficiency of our homes) through pricing increases; (ix) the availability
and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our inventory, such as asset impairment charges we took on select California assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2019; (x) our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital, due to factors such as limitations in the capital markets (including market volatility) or adverse credit market conditions, and our ability to otherwise meet our ongoing liquidity needs (which could cause us to fail to meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under our various debt instruments and therefore trigger an acceleration of a significant portion or all of our outstanding debt obligations), including the impact of any downgrades of our credit ratings or reduction in our liquidity levels; (xi) market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital); (xii) changes in tax laws or otherwise regarding the deductibility of mortgage interest expenses and real estate taxes; (xiii) increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design; (xiv) natural disasters or other related events that could result in delays in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease demand in the impacted areas; (xv) the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets; (xvi) increases in corporate tax rates; (xvii) potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or governmental policies, including those related to the environment; (xviii) the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations; (xix) the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims; (xx) the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds, as well as the sufficiency of these instruments to cover potential losses incurred; (xxi) the impact of information technology failures, cybersecurity issues or data security breaches; (xxii) the impact of governmental regulations on homebuilding in key markets, such as regulations limiting the availability of water and electricity (including availability of electrical equipment such as transformers and meters); (xxiii) the success of our ESG initiatives, including our ability to meet our goal that by 2025 every home we build will be Net Zero Energy Ready, as well as the success of any other related partnerships or pilot programs we may enter into in order to increase the energy efficiency of our homes and prepare for a Net Zero future; and (xxiv) terrorist acts, protests and civil unrest, political uncertainty, acts of war or other factors over which the Company has no control.

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin excluding impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales to homebuilding gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that this information assists investors in comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective level of impairments and level of debt. These measures should not be considered alternative to homebuilding gross profit and gross margin determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position, and level of impairments. These EBITDA measures should not be considered alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.
