    المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 03 أغسطس 2022 16:05:03   America/New_York

    RECORD HOME CLOSINGS REVENUE OF $510.5 MILLION, UP 53.6%
    RECORD INCOME BEFORE TAXES OF $138.3 MILLION, UP 86.9%
    HOME BUILDING GROSS MARGIN UP 550 BPS TO 32.3%
    RECORD DILUTED EPS OF $2.08, UP 103.9%

    PLANO, Texas, Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or the “Company”) today reported record results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

    “We are pleased to report another outstanding quarter highlighted by record EPS of $2.08 per diluted share, which was up 73.3% sequentially over the first quarter of 2022 on a 33.4% sequential growth in total revenues. During the second quarter, we delivered a record number of homes and achieved a record high home building gross margin of 32.3%, which was up 450 basis points sequentially,” said Jim Brickman, CEO and Co-Founder. “Year-to-date, we were able to generate annualized returns on equity of 37.4%. Additionally, to further enhance shareholder value, we repurchased another 3.7 million shares of Green Brick common stock for $75.7 million during the second quarter and third quarter through July 29, 2022. Year-to-date through July 29, 2022, we have repurchased a total of $101.5 million of common stock at an average price under $21 per share, representing 9.5% of total shares outstanding as of the end of 2021.”

    “We believe that Green Brick is strategically positioned to navigate well within the evolving environment. We operate in some of the best markets in the United States. Within those markets, over 80% of our revenue year-to-date is generated from more supply constrained in-fill submarkets that we believe are more insulated from competition and more resilient during economic downturns,” continued Mr. Brickman. “Additionally, despite purchasing 9.5% of our outstanding shares, we have one of the lowest leverage ratios among our peers with a debt to total capital ratio of 28.9% as of June 30, 2022, where almost all of outstanding debt is fixed interest rate long term with an attractive weighted average interest rate of 3.4%. We believe that we have a superior lot and land position to support future growth that also provides us with the ability to be defensive and offensive in a changing environment. Green Brick has a track record of generating one of the best returns on equity in the homebuilding industry and we will continue to devote efforts to initiatives that are accretive to our shareholders.”

    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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and reconciles these amounts to homebuilding gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
