•Pre-tax income was $200.8 million, compared to $127.4 million in FY 2021’s first quarter.

•Home sales gross margin was 23.6%, compared to FY 2021’s first quarter home sales gross margin of 20.5%.
•Adjusted home sales gross margin, which excludes interest and inventory write-downs, was 25.6%, compared to FY 2021’s first quarter adjusted home sales gross margin of 22.9%.
•SG&A, as a percentage of home sales revenues, was 13.4%, compared to 14.9% in FY 2021’s first quarter.
•Income from operations was $175.1 million.
•Other income, income from unconsolidated entities, and gross margin from land sales and other was $29.9 million.
•The Company repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares at an average price of $61.65 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $185.8 million.
Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “Our first quarter results were solid. We signed 2,929 net contracts for approximately $3.0 billion, up 19% in dollars and 2% in units over last year’s extremely strong first quarter, when contracts were up 68% in dollars and 59% in units compared to FY 2020’s first quarter.
“This market is being propelled by strong demographics, the substantial imbalance between the tight supply of homes and continued pent-up demand, growing equity in existing homes, migration trends, and the greater appreciation for home. We believe these long-term tailwinds will continue to support demand for new homes well into the future. With our significant and well-located land holdings and our unique niche in the luxury market, we are well positioned for continued growth.
“Ongoing supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and municipal delays remain a challenge. In our first quarter, these issues were exacerbated as the Omicron wave peaked in January, resulting in fewer deliveries than expected. Despite these challenges, our net income and earnings per share rose 57% and 63%, respectively, on home sales revenue growth of 20% and an increase in our adjusted gross margin of 270 basis points versus one year ago. At the end of our first fiscal quarter, our backlog stood at a record $10.8 billion and 11,302 homes.
“Based on the good visibility that our backlog provides and the continued strength in the market, we are reaffirming all of our full year projections, including 20% growth in home sales revenues, an adjusted gross margin of approximately 27.5%, and a return on beginning equity of approximately 23%. In addition, we continue to expect to grow our community count by 10% by fiscal year end from the 340 communities we were operating at the end of FY 2021.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
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 home sales gross margin and the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio.
These two measures are non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies in the home building business.
The Company’s management considers these non-GAAP financial measures as we make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance, including against other home builders that may use similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in understanding our operations and leverage and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other home builders to the extent they provide similar information.
Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted home sales gross margin is calculated as (i) home sales gross margin plus interest recognized in home sales cost of revenues plus inventory write-downs recognized in home sales cost of revenues divided by (ii) home sales revenues.

The Company’s management believes adjusted home sales gross margin is a useful financial measure to investors because it allows them to evaluate the performance of our home building operations without the often varying effects of capitalized interest costs and inventory impairments. The use of adjusted home sales gross margin also assists the Company’s management in assessing the profitability of our home building operations and making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix.
Forward-looking Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin
The Company has not provided projected second quarter and full FY 2022 home sales gross margin or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking adjusted home sales gross margin because such measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis, since inventory write-downs are based on future activity and observation and therefore cannot be projected for the second quarter and full FY 2022. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our second quarter and full FY 2022 home sales gross margin.
Net Debt-to-Capital Ratio
The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt to capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure). The net debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as (i) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents plus stockholders’ equity.
