Item 2.02.            Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On August 30, 2023, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its preliminary financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2023. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
 
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
 
The attached earnings press release contains information about consolidated earnings before interest expense and income taxes (“EBIT”) and before depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and before inventory impairment loss, land option write-offs and loss on extinguishment of debt, net (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and also contains the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to interest incurred, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income. A reconciliation for historical periods of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income is contained in the earnings press release.
 
The attached earnings press release contains information about homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, and homebuilding gross margin percentage, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are homebuilding gross margin and homebuilding gross margin percentage, respectively. A reconciliation for historical periods of homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, and homebuilding gross margin percentage, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, to homebuilding gross margin and homebuilding gross margin percentage, respectively, is contained in the earnings press release.
 
The attached earnings press release contains information about adjusted income before income taxes, which is defined as income before income taxes excluding land-related charges and loss on extinguishment of debt, net, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income before income taxes. A reconciliation for historical periods of adjusted income before income taxes to income before income taxes is contained in the earnings press release.
 
Management believes EBITDA to be relevant and useful information as EBITDA is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and others to measure and benchmark the Company’s financial performance without the effects of various items the Company does not believe are characteristic of its ongoing operating performance. EBITDA does not take into account substantial costs of doing business, such as income taxes and interest expense. While many in the financial community consider EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, income before income taxes, net income and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that are presented on the financial statements included in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, the Company’s calculation of EBITDA may be different than the calculation used by other companies, and, therefore, comparability may be affected.
 
 

 
Management believes homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, enables investors to better understand the Company’s operating performance. This measure is also useful internally, helping management to evaluate the Company’s operating results on a consolidated basis and relative to other companies in the Company’s industry. In particular, the magnitude and volatility of land charges for the Company, and for other homebuilders, have been significant and, as such, have made financial analysis of the Company’s industry more difficult. Homebuilding metrics excluding land charges, as well as interest amortized to cost of sales, and other similar presentations prepared by analysts and other companies are frequently used to assist investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies’ respective levels of impairments and levels of debt. Homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, should be considered in addition to, but not as an alternative to, homebuilding gross margin determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance. Additionally, the Company’s calculation of homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, may be different than the calculation used by other companies, and, therefore, comparability may be affected. 
 
Management believes adjusted income before taxes to be relevant and useful information because it provides a better metric of the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted income before taxes should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, income before income taxes, net income and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that are presented on the financial statements included in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, the Company’s calculation of adjusted income before taxes may be different than the calculation used by other companies, and, therefore, comparability may be affected.

In May of 2023, we redeemed $100 million principal amount of our 7.75% senior secured notes due February 15, 2026 at a purchase price of 101.937% plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

 

In August of 2023, we redeemed an additional $100 million principal amount of our 7.75% senior secured notes due February 15, 2026, at a purchase price of 101.937% plus accrued and unpaid interest. We have reduced total debt by $668 million since the beginning of fiscal 2020.

 

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, approximately 4,100 lots were put under option or acquired in 40 consolidated communities.

 

 

As of July 31, 2023, our total controlled consolidated lots were 29,487, a decrease compared with 31,913 lots at the end of the third quarter of the previous year and an increase compared to 28,657 lots on April 30, 2023. Based on trailing twelve-month deliveries, the current position equaled a 5.9 years’ supply.

 

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE(2):

 

The Company is increasing guidance for total revenues, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income before income taxes and fully diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2023. Financial guidance below assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions, including further deterioration in the supply chain, material increase in mortgage rates, or increased inflation and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $106.62 on July 31, 2023.

 

For fiscal 2023, total revenues are expected to be between $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion, adjusted homebuilding gross margin is expected to be between 22% and 23%, adjusted income before income taxes is expected to be between $215 million and $235 million, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $350 million and $370 million and fully diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $21 and $24. At the midpoint of our guidance, we anticipate our common shareholders’ equity to increase by approximately 63% at October 31, 2023 to approximately $67 per share compared to last year’s value at year-end of $41 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 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 with our third quarter operating performance, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income before income taxes all exceeded the upper end of our guidance,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “Positive demographic and employment trends combined with a low supply of existing homes for sale has resulted in strong demand for newly constructed homes. Despite higher mortgage rates and a challenging affordability atmosphere, the 92% year-over-year improvement in our consolidated contracts per community is a testament to the current robust selling environment, our strong land positions and our exceptional team. Due to the strength of our recent sales pace and margins, we are raising the high end of our 2023 EPS guidance by 20%.”

 

“After ending the third quarter with $456 million of liquidity, we redeemed $100 million of 7.75% senior secured notes to further reduce our debt. As we move forward, we intend to continue to utilize excess liquidity to reduce debt and grow our land position to increase profitability. Given the strength in the housing market today, we are encouraged that looking forward we believe our year-over-year comparisons for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 should show significant improvements,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.

SEGMENT CHANGE/RECLASSIFICATION

 

Historically, the Company had seven reportable segments consisting of six homebuilding segments (Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Southeast, Southwest and West) and its financial services segment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we reevaluated our reportable segments as a result of changes in the business and our management thereof. In particular, we considered the fact that, since our segments were last established, the Company had exited the Minnesota, North Carolina, and Tampa markets and is currently in the process of exiting the Chicago market. As a result, we realigned our homebuilding operating segments and determined that, in addition to our financial services segment, we now have three reportable homebuilding segments comprised of (1) Northeast, (2) Southeast and (3) West. All prior period amounts related to the segment change have been retrospectively reclassified to conform to the new presentation.
