  • In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, approximately 4,800 lots were put under option or acquired in 57 consolidated communities.
     
  • During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we repurchased 82,753 shares of common stock for $11.5 million or an average price of $139 per share.
     
  • As of July 31, 2024, our total controlled consolidated lots were 39,516, an increase of 34.0% compared with 29,487 lots at the end of the third quarter of the previous year. The total controlled consolidated lots also increased sequentially from 36,841 lots as of April 30, 2024. Based on trailing twelve-month deliveries, the current position equaled a 7.7 years’ supply.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE(2):

The Company is increasing guidance for total revenues, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted EBITDA, fully diluted earnings per share and common book value per share for the full fiscal year. Financial guidance below assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions, including further deterioration in our supply chain or material increases in mortgage rates, inflation or cancellation rates, and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $209.89 on July 31, 2024.

For the full fiscal year, total revenues are expected to be between $2.90 billion and $3.05 billion, adjusted homebuilding gross margin is expected to be between 21.5% and 22.5%, adjusted income before income taxes is expected to be between $300 million and $325 million, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $420 million and $445 million and fully diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $29 and $31. At the midpoint of our guidance, we anticipate our common book value per share to increase by about 50% at October 31, 2024, to approximately $109 per share compared to last year’s value at year-end of $73 per share.

(2) The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.

COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:

“We are pleased to report strong adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pretax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, both of which were above the high end of our guidance,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While average weekly foot traffic during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 at our communities was consistent with the same period a year ago, there was some choppiness in our third quarter contracts this year due to economic, mortgage rate and geopolitical uncertainty that is impacting homebuyers’ decisions, as well as disruptions from Hurricane Beryl in Texas, our largest state. When you ignore the impact of build for rent contracts from both the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the primary weakness was in our West segment, which includes Texas. Over the past five weeks, contracts have increased approximately 23% compared to the same weeks a year ago. This improved trend suggests that homebuyers have reacted positively to the recent decreasing mortgage rate environment.”

“Last quarter we spoke about shifting our primary focus to growing our business. Our commitment to this shift is evident in the 34% increase in our lot count, 28% year-over-year increase in land and land development spend and 24% growth in our consolidated community count. We believe these investments will lead to future increases in revenue that will better leverage our fixed costs and lead to higher levels of profitability, which in turn should further improve our credit metrics. Our leverage continues to improve, and our ROE and EBIT ROI remain among the best of the peer group. The housing market continues to be driven by positive fundamentals, and we expect to be able to capitalize on these trends and continue to deliver top-tier industry returns to our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.
