Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “We are very pleased with our third quarter results. We beat our guidance for home sales revenues, adjusted gross margin, and SG&A margin, leading to record third quarter earnings of $3.73 per diluted share, up 59% year-over-year. In addition, we signed 2,245 net contracts for $2.2 billion in the quarter, up 77% in units year-over-year. Demand remains solid as we start our fiscal fourth quarter. Based on these results and our expectations for the fourth quarter, we are raising our full year guidance for deliveries, adjusted gross margin and SG&A leverage, and now expect our return on beginning equity for fiscal 2023 to be approximately 22%.
“Our third quarter performance reflects a market for new homes that continues to benefit from historically low levels of resale inventory, favorable long-term demographic trends, and the persistent underproduction of homes for well over a decade. In addition, our strategy of increasing our supply of spec homes in recent quarters has contributed to our success.
“At quarter end, our net debt-to-capital ratio was 20.5% and total liquidity was $2.8 billion. Since the start of the third quarter, we repurchased approximately $162.5 million of our common stock, bringing our year-to-date repurchases to $255.7 million, with an additional $69 million in dividends paid. With no significant debt maturities until November 2025, we have ample flexibility to continue investing in our business while returning cash to stockholders. Our strong financial and operating profile, along with the positive long-term fundamentals underpinning our industry, led Standard & Poor’s to upgrade our credit rating to investment grade in the quarter. We are now rated investment grade by all three major credit rating agencies.
“While rising rates remain a challenge, they further cement the lock-in effect that has kept resale inventory at historically low levels. With our deep and well-located land holdings, industry-leading brand, healthy backlog, more efficient operations and balanced spec strategy, we are well positioned to capitalize on continued solid demand for new homes.”

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.

Adjusted home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues 29.3 % 27.9 % 28.5 % 26.6 %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 fourth quarter and full FY 2023 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 fourth quarter and full FY 2023. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our fourth quarter and full FY 2023 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.
