HOME CLOSINGS REVENUE OF $523M, A RECORD FOR
ANY THIRD QUARTER, UP 25.7% YOY
DILUTED EPS OF $1.98, A RECORD FOR ANY THIRD
QUARTER, UP 26.9% YOY
NET NEW HOME ORDERS OF 877, A RECORD FOR ANY
THIRD QUARTER, UP 11.3% YOY
DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITAL OF 16.4%; NET DEBT TO
TOTAL CAPITAL OF 12.5%
Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or
the “Company”), today reported record results for its third quarter
ended September 30, 2024.
“We are pleased to report that we completed our best third
quarter in history, highlighted by 25.7% home closings revenues
growth year-over-year. During the third quarter, we delivered 956
homes with an average selling price of $546,900, bringing total
home closings revenues to $522.9 million. We continued to generate
an industry-leading homebuilding gross margin of 32.7%. As a
result, diluted EPS increased 27% year-over-year to $1.98 per
share, a record for any third quarter. Our year-to-date diluted EPS
of $6.12 is up 34.5% year-over year, another record for the company
for any year-to-date period through the third quarter,” said Jim
Brickman, CEO and Co-Founder.
“Net new orders in the third quarter picked up from the previous
quarter and grew 11.3% year-over-year to 877 units,” continued Mr.
Brickman. “We were pleased to see a rebound of traffic in
September, particularly with Trophy Signature Homes ('Trophy').
Trophy’s net sales represented 52% of the total sales in third
quarter vs 41% in the third quarter last year. This growth is a
reflection of larger communities in which Trophy was selling in the
third quarter and its growth in year-to-date starts, which have
increased from 44% of Green Brick’s total starts through September
2023 to 50% of overall starts in 2024. We believe the demographic
shifts and housing supply shortage will continue to bolster the
industry, especially in our markets, over the long term and are
confident Green Brick is well poised to capitalize on pent-up
housing demand and industry tailwinds.”
Mr. Brickman added, “We expect to achieve record revenue for
fiscal year 2024. This is a testament to our team and their
operational effectiveness both currently and for the years prior as
we have built out Green Brick’s foundation, including, at its core,
our dedicated, experienced, and skilled employees. This is
particularly rewarding as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of
Green Brick as a public homebuilding company on October 27th.
Reflecting the strength of our team, our active selling communities
and homes under construction as of the end of the third quarter are
up year-over-year 23% and 21%, respectively. We believe our
superior land and lot positions will continue to serve as the
springboard for our growth. Over 80% of our revenue year-to-date
was generated in infill and infill adjacent submarkets where supply
is more limited. Our year-to-date homebuilding gross margin of
33.6% is up 290 bps and reflects a record for any year in our
history through the third quarter. With the ability to self-develop
our lots, we expect finished lot costs as a percentage of home
closings revenue to remain essentially flat for 2024 and 2025.”
“Green Brick’s distinctive business model and strategy have
yielded impressive results over the past decade. This has
translated into exceptional returns for our stockholders, even
while carrying land and lots on our balance sheet. Our year-to-date
return on equity is 27.0%. This success is underpinned by our
conservative balance sheet and financial discipline,” concluded Mr.
Brickman. “At the end of the third quarter, our net debt to total
capital ratio was 12.5% and our total debt to total capital ratio
was only 16.4% with a weighted average pay rate of 3.4%. As we look
ahead to the next decade, we remain committed to investing in our
business and people to strengthen our platform and propel our
growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 our 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 U.S. 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 represents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted
homebuilding gross margin for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles these amounts to
homebuilding gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP
measure.

Net debt to total capitalization is calculated as the total debt
