    RESIDENTIAL UNITS REVENUE OF $454.4 MILLION, SECOND HIGHEST IN COMPANY HISTORY
    HOMEBUILDING GROSS MARGIN 31.3%, UP 370 BPS SEQUENTIALLY
    DILUTED EPS OF $1.63, SECOND HIGHEST IN COMPANY HISTORY
    DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITAL OF 22.9%; RECORD LOW NET DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITAL OF 10.6%

    PLANO, Texas, Aug. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or the “Company”) today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

    “We are pleased to report that Green Brick delivered another strong quarter with exceptional execution by our team. During the second quarter, we delivered 783 homes, generating $454 million in home closings revenue, which was our second highest in company history. Homebuilding gross margin was up 370 bps sequentially to 31.3%. These higher margins drove second quarter earnings up to $1.63 per diluted share, which were up 19% sequentially and second best in company history,” said Jim Brickman, CEO and Co-Founder. “We continue to lead the industry with the highest homebuilding gross margins amongst our public peers, a result of our infill locations, self-development land strategy, and focus on operational efficiency.”

    “We have continued to see demand for homes, particularly in infill and infill-adjacent locations where we have a strong presence and where there is limited resale inventory competition because existing homeowners are reluctant to sell their homes and forfeit their low interest rate loans. Sales momentum in 2Q23 was above normal seasonality and remained strong throughout the spring selling season. Net orders increased 51% year-over-year to 822 homes, the highest of any second quarter in company history. Our quarterly absorption rate in 2Q23 remained robust at 9.9 homes per active selling community, while our cancellation rate remained the lowest in the homebuilding industry at 7.4%. As a result, backlog at the end of Q2 is now up 59% from the beginning of the year. During the quarter, we increased ending community count to its highest level in two years, up 10% year over year. We also ramped up our starts during the second quarter by 25% over 1Q23 to 833 units, which has allowed us to better align starts with our improved sales pace. Additionally, we are pleased to have seen further normalization of the supply chain and labor availability in our markets and improved cycle times that we expect will continue to result in higher returns on capital. We believe our scale as the third largest builder in DFW and ongoing operational improvements will continue to decrease our cycle times,” continued Mr. Brickman.

    “We were able to generate these results while lowering our leverage. As of June 30, 2023, our debt to total capital ratio decreased 600 bps year-over-year to 22.9%, while net debt to total capital ratio was down 1450 basis points to a record low of 10.6%. With a strong balance sheet and ample lots in infill locations, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of continuing strong demand and increase our market share in our core markets.”

    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, 2023 and 2022 and reconciles these amounts to homebuilding gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
