Management Commentary

“We experienced sustained momentum in our business during the second quarter with notable increases across our key financial metrics, while our backlog expanded to the largest level in our history,” said John Ho, CEO of Landsea Homes. “As evident by our results and growing backlog, the housing markets in which we operate maintained their strength during the quarter and we believe this will continue as homebuyer demand remains vastly higher than the current supply of homes available. While we were not immune to the supply chain constraints and rising costs that impacted the industry during the second quarter, we worked diligently to re-align our production with the pace of our sales and are encouraged by recent signs of stabilization across key commodities.

“Having completed the acquisition of VEH during the quarter, we hit the ground running and have already begun benefitting from the integration onto the Landsea platform. We’ve made great progress establishing our presence in Florida and Texas – two of the hottest housing markets in the nation – as part of our ongoing strategy to create sustainable communities in highly desired locations across the United States. Since then, we’ve already expanded our presence in Florida with 108 new homesites in the Melbourne area, in addition to increasing our footprints in our existing markets with the announced addition of over 1,000 homesites around Phoenix, AZ, and 182 waterfront locations in Alameda, CA.

“We are extremely encouraged with our inclusion in the Russell 3000 index. The timing of this development could not have been more opportune, as we believe we are in one of the most defining stages in the Company’s history. We are pleased with our recent success in growing our homebuilding platform, both organically and via acquisition, which will allow us to further capitalize on the housing market tailwinds. For these reasons, we are once again raising our full year outlook for 2021 from what was already set to be a record year. We remain thankful for the support of our stakeholders and look forward to continuing to deliver best-in-class homes across our expanded footprint.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial and Operational Results

Total revenue increased 163% to $250.3 million compared to $95.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding revenue generated from Vintage Estate Homes (VEH), total revenue increased organically by 125%.

Total home sales increased 152% to $239.6 million compared to $95.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding revenue generated from Vintage Estate Homes (VEH), total revenue increased organically by 122%.

Total homes delivered increased 79% to 425 homes at an average sales price of $564,000 compared to 237 homes delivered at an average sales price of $401,000 in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in average sales price was largely attributable to the current dynamic of outsized homebuyer demand compared to the supply of available homes, which has led to favorable pricing power.

Net new home orders were 330 homes with a dollar value of $207.3 million, an average sales price of $628,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 3.5 sales per active community. Excluding VEH communities, total monthly absorption rate is 4.2. This compares to 459 homes with a dollar value of $207.0 million, an average sales price of $451,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 4.8 sales per active community in the prior year period. The average number of selling communities stayed relatively constant at approximately 30 communities compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Total homes in backlog increased 40% to 1197 homes with a dollar value of $630.2 million and an average sales price of $526,000 at June 30, 2021. This compares to 856 homes with a dollar value of $376.3 million and an average sales price of $440,000 at June 30, 2021. Total lots owned or controlled at June 30, 2021, increased 28% to 8,556 compared to 6,680 at March 31, 2021.

Home sales gross margin increased significantly to 17.0% from 6.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) was up 530 basis points to 23.5% compared to 18.2% in the prior year period. The benefit to the Company’s margin profile was driven by its strategy to proactively manage down sales volumes to better align with production, while mitigating the adverse impact of elevated commodity prices.

Net income attributable to Landsea Homes increased to $10.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to Landsea Homes of $20.3 million, or $(0.62) per share, in the prior year period.

2021 Outlook

Landsea Homes now expects to report approximately $960 to $1.02 billion ($925 to $980 million prior) in total revenue for 2021, which includes $28 million to $35 million in expected lot sales and other. 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%. Total homes delivered is now expected to be 1,930 to 2,030 at an average sales price of $497,000 to $529,000 (1,930 to 2,030 homes delivered at an average sales price of $450,000 to $495,000 prior). The Company now expects to report adjusted net income attributable to Landsea Homes of approximately $53 million to $61 million ($46 million to $56 million prior) in 2021. These expectations for 2021 assume higher levels of organic growth as well as the benefits from the acquisition of Vintage Estate Homes (the “Acquisition”).

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 June 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.
