Management Commentary

“Landsea Homes made progress on a number of fronts in the third quarter of 2021, as we remained on track to generate roughly one billion in homebuilding revenues for the year, greatly improved our access to capital and continued to lay the foundation for our company’s rapid expansion,” said John Ho, Chief Executive Officer of Landsea Homes. “Similar to other homebuilders, we were adversely impacted by the ongoing supply chain issues during the quarter which caused delays to our scheduled deliveries and community openings. We have been working closely with our suppliers and trade partners to alleviate these issues and have made progress moving things forward since the quarter closed. As a result, we are changing our full year guidance for 2021.”

Mr. Ho continued, “Despite these construction and development headwinds, we continue to see robust demand for our homes, driven by the strong housing fundamentals in our markets, our focus on affordable price points and the appeal of our High Performance Homes, which feature the latest in new home technology, sustainability and performance. The integration of Vintage Estates has progressed nicely, and we made significant land investments in Texas and Florida to expand our newly established presence in these markets. Landsea has a solid track record of entering new markets via acquisition and scaling the local operations in a rapid fashion, and we believe the same will be true with Vintage Estates.”

Mr. Ho concluded, “With a record quarter-ending backlog, a strong fundamental outlook and a unique and differentiated product profile, Landsea Homes is poised to finish the year on a high note and carry the momentum into 2022. We believe we are in a great position to continue our rapid expansion thanks to our strategic growth initiatives and our strong capital position, which was greatly enhanced by the establishment of a new unsecured credit facility. As a result, we continue to be as optimistic as ever about the future of Landsea Homes.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial and Operational Results

Total revenue decreased 2% to $214.1 million compared to $218.5 million in the third quarter of 2020. Excluding revenue generated from VEH, total revenue decreased 20%.

Total homes delivered decreased 12% to 380 homes at an average sales price of $550,000 compared to 433 homes delivered at an average sales price of $505,000 in the third quarter of 2020. The decline in deliveries was largely a result of the ongoing supply chain issues affecting the industry. The increase in average sales price was primarily due to price appreciation in the Arizona market and a larger number of deliveries from communities with higher-end homes.

Net new home orders were 275 homes with a dollar value of $184.9 million, an average sales price of $673,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 2.6 sales per active community. This compares to 504 homes with a dollar value of $279.1 million, an average sales price of $554,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 5.9 sales per active community in the prior year period. The decline in new home orders was largely a result of the Company’s decision to temporarily slow the pace of sales to adjust to lengthening production cycle times.

Total homes in backlog increased 18% to 1,092 homes with a dollar value of $606.2 million and an average sales price of $555,000 at September 30, 2021. This compares to 922 homes with a dollar value of $439.6 million and an average sales price of $477,000 at September 30, 2020. The increase in value and average sales price coincides with price appreciation for the net new home orders for the third quarter.

Total lots owned or controlled at September 30, 2021, increased 46% to 9,756 compared to 6,680 at December 31, 2020, primarily due to the acquisition of Vintage Homes.

Home sales gross margin increased to 16.1% from 13.6% in the prior year period. Adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) increased 100 basis points to 21.4% compared to 20.4% in the prior year period. The benefit was primarily due to price appreciation and an increase in gross margins within our California segment, partially offset by higher costs.

Net income attributable to Landsea Homes increased to $10.8 million compared to $3.2 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to Landsea Homes (a non-GAAP measure) increased to $8.3 million compared to $9.8 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) slightly declined to $19.3 million compared to $20.3 million in the prior year period. Mainly attributable to a gain on remeasurement of warrant liability of $7 million.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents was $82.4 million, a $23.4 million decrease from December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in real estate inventories. Total debt was $361.7 million compared to $264.8 million at December 31, 2020.

Landsea Homes’ ratio of debt to capital was 38.4% at September 30, 2021, compared to 33.3% at December 31, 2020. The Company’s net debt to net book capitalization (a non-GAAP measure) was 32.5% at September 30, 2021, compared to 22.6% at December 31, 2020.

2021 Outlook

In the fourth quarter Landsea Homes expects to deliver approximately 550 to 650 homes. Total revenue is estimated to be $392 million to $415 million.

For the full year Landsea Homes expects to report approximately $1,016 to $1,060 million total revenue for 2021. Total homes delivered is now expected to be 1,671 to 1,760 at an average sales price of $540,000 to $580,000. Home sales gross margin is expected to be 16.9% to 17.8% and adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) is expected to be 21.9% to 22.5%. The Company now expects to report adjusted net income attributable to Landsea Homes of approximately $62 million to $66 million in 2021.

Subsequent Events

On October 6, 2021, the Company established a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility with an accordion feature that permits increases in borrowing capacity up to an additional $350 million, subject to certain conditions. As of the closing date of this new facility, the Company had $296m in borrowings outstanding and available borrowing capacity of approximately $204m. Including cash on hand, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $306 million.

Material Weakness

As previously disclosed, management concluded that the Company had a material weakness as of December 31, 2020 relating to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting with respect to accounting for warrants that we are currently working to remediate. As an “emerging growth company” we are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose; however, in anticipation of becoming subject to the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act by year-end, we have been working to enhance our internal control framework and in doing so, have identified additional material weaknesses relating to an insufficient complement of resources with an appropriate level of expertise, knowledge and training and inadequate documentation of controls commensurate with the financial reporting requirements for an SEC registrant. As management continues to evaluate their internal control environment in preparation for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, additional material weaknesses may be identified.

Home Sales Gross Margins

Home sales gross margin measures the price achieved on delivered homes compared to the costs needed to build the home. In the following table, we calculate gross margins adjusting for interest in cost of sales, inventory impairments (if applicable), and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (if applicable). This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company’s operating results in accordance with GAAP. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP measure is meaningful because it provides insight into the impact that financing arrangements and acquisitions have on our homebuilding gross margin and allows for comparability of our gross margins to competitors that present similar information.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The following table presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in evaluating operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense (benefit), (ii) interest expenses, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) inventory impairments, (v) purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, (vi) (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, (vii) transaction costs related to the merger and business combinations, (viii) the impact of income or loss allocations from our unconsolidated joint ventures, (ix) gain on forgiveness of PPP loan, and (x) gain (loss) on remeasurement of warrant liability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest, effective tax rates, levels of depreciation and amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. Accordingly, we believe this measure is useful for comparing our core operating performance from period to period. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income to Landsea is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating results and understanding our operating results without the effect of certain expenses that were historically pushed down by our parent company and other non-recurring items. We believe excluding these items provides a more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. Adjusted Net Income to Landsea is calculated by excluding the effects of related party interest that was pushed down by our parent company, purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, the impact from our unconsolidated joint ventures, gain on forgiveness of PPP loan, and gain (loss) on remeasurement of warrant liability, merger related transaction costs, and tax-effected using a blended statutory tax rate. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. We also adjust for the expense of related party interest pushed down from our parent company as we have no obligation to repay the debt and related interest.

Net Debt to Net Capital

The following table presents the ratio of debt to capital as well as the ratio of net debt to net capital which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ratio of debt to capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total debt, net of issuance costs, by total capital (sum of total debt, net of issuance costs plus total equity).

The non-GAAP ratio of net debt to net capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt, net of issuance costs less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by net capital (sum of net debt plus total equity). The most comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. We believe the ratio of net debt to net capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We believe that by deducting our cash from our debt, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt to capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio of net debt to net capital provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered.

See table below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to capital.
