TRI POINTE GROUP, INC. REPORTS 2020 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

-New Home Orders up 26% Year-Over-Year-
-Backlog Dollar Value up 31% Year-Over-Year-
-Homebuilding Gross Margin Percentage of 20.5%-
-Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.24-
-Ended the Quarter with $678 Million of Total Liquidity-
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, April 23, 2020 / Business Wire / TRI Pointe Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:TPH) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
“While I am extremely pleased with our results this quarter, TRI Pointe Group’s primary focus over the past several weeks has been the health and well-being of its employees, trade partners and customers since the outbreak of COVID-19,” said TRI Pointe Group Chief Executive Officer Doug Bauer. “As soon as the threat of the virus became evident, we adjusted our business practices to substantially limit in-person interaction and promote social distancing. Overcoming this pandemic will require everyone’s collective efforts to stop the spread of the virus, and TRI Pointe is dedicated to doing its part.”
Mr. Bauer continued, “The measures we’ve taken as a nation to combat the virus will no doubt have a lasting impact on the economy and our industry. Fortunately, TRI Pointe enters this period of uncertainty in a position of relative strength, with a quarter-end net debt-to-net capital ratio of 35.4% and over $670 million in cash and available liquidity. This financial strength, coupled with the experience of our seasoned leadership team in navigating through difficult times, gives me confidence that TRI Pointe is well positioned to deal with the current market environment.”
Mr. Bauer concluded, “From a macro perspective, I remain optimistic about the long-term outlook for our industry post COVID-19. The demographic shifts occurring in this country have created a need for more housing, while the supply of existing homes remains low. These two factors, along with my belief in the resiliency of the American economy, give me confidence in the future of our industry and TRI Pointe in particular.”

“I am extremely pleased with how our team members have adapted to the new reality brought on by the pandemic,” said TRI Pointe Group President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. “We continue to effectively manage all aspects of the business on a day-to-day basis. I am proud that our teams continue to find creative ways to satisfy our customers through sales, construction and service. In many ways, the changes we’ve had to make as an industry play to TRI Pointe’s strengths, thanks to the investments we’ve made in our digital platform. Our ability to market and sell our homes using virtual tools has allowed us to continue to generate sales leads and convert web traffic into orders in this environment.  In addition, we have provided customers with alternatives to conduct their new home closing, from curbside and window signing, to limited power of attorney with their settlement agent and remote online notarization.  We believe our online presence will be a significant asset during this time of limited or no in-person interaction and will have an enduring cost-benefit to our business going forward.”
Outlook
Due to the uncertainty regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on both the U.S. economy and the Company’s business operations and financial performance, the Company has withdrawn its previously issued guidance for fiscal 2020.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following table reconciles homebuilding gross margin percentage, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the non-GAAP measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage has on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)

The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the non-GAAP ratio of net debt-to-net capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-net capital is a relevant financial measure for management and investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain financing.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
(unaudited)
 
The following table calculates the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP.  EBITDA means net income before (a) interest expense, (b) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales, (c) income taxes and (d) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before (e) amortization of stock-based compensation and (f) impairments and lot option abandonments. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of the Company’s ability to service debt and obtain financing.
