Taylor Morrison Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results, Including Record Earnings per Diluted Share of $2.72
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 26, 2022—Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC), a leading national land developer and homebuilder, announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Reported net income of $310 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, was up 84 percent and 103 percent, respectively, from the third quarter of 2021.
Third quarter highlights included the following, as compared to the prior-year quarter:
| • | | Home closings revenue increased 12 percent to $2.0 billion. |
| • | | Home closings gross margin improved 630 basis points to 27.5 percent. |
| • | | SG&A as a percentage of home closings revenue improved 210 basis points to 7.4 percent. |
| • | | Homebuilding lot supply increased three percent to approximately 80,000 owned and controlled homesites. |
| • | | Controlled lots as a percentage of total lot supply increased approximately 600 basis points to 42 percent. |
| • | | Repurchased 4.2 million shares outstanding for $105 million. |
| • | | Return on equity improved 1,300 basis points to 25.8 percent. |
“Our team once again generated record quarterly profitability metrics, including new highs for home closings gross margin, earnings per share and return on equity, despite the continued affordability and supply chain challenges facing our industry and the significant impact from Hurricane Ian on our Florida and Carolinas markets. While these headwinds, particularly the production-related delays from the storm, impacted our volume of home closings and sales, we still generated a record home closings gross margin of 27.5% and an all-time low SG&A ratio of 7.4%. These results drove a 103 percent increase in our earnings per diluted share and a doubling of our return on equity to 26 percent,” said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO.
“The significant improvement in our earnings reflect the enhanced profitability and overall business effectiveness that we have achieved through our focus on operational excellence, scale synergies and disciplined land investment. These internal initiatives and our successful M&A integrations have positioned our company to be resilient as we navigate the current economic uncertainty and recalibration of housing market conditions to the sharply higher interest rate environment.”
Recognizing changing consumer demands, Palmer also shared that the Company recently unveiled an enhanced end-to-end digital reservation system for to-be-built homes, an evolution of the technology that was first introduced in March 2021. The first-to-market technology gives Taylor Morrison home shoppers the ability to build a new home entirely online—and see it come to life through an interactive visualizer—by selecting their floor plan, lot, the home’s exterior design, structural options, interior finishes, and then reserve the configuration online with a small deposit, all with the transparency of pricing along the way. In the third quarter, total spec and to-be-built online reservations had a conversion rate of approximately 40 percent, accounting for 13 percent of company sales.
“As the market evolves, we will continue to prioritize the health of our balance sheet and position ourselves to be opportunistic by balancing pace and price, managing inventory levels and preserving our capital. Our homebuilding and mortgage teams are focused on working closely with our customers to provide compelling incentives to address each buyers’ unique circumstances, as well as adjusting pricing as needed on an asset-by-asset basis, appreciating each community’s inventory, duration, competitive dynamics and targeted consumer group. While we remain positive on the long-term opportunity for housing, we expect the market to remain highly sensitive to interest rates and are therefore emphasizing a disciplined and prudent approach across our business,” continued Palmer.
