Smith Douglas Homes Corp. (NYSE: SDHC) (“Smith Douglas” or the “Company”) today announced second quarter results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Q2 2024 Results as compared to Q2 2023:

  • Home closings increased 17% to 653
  • Revenue increased 22% to $220.9 million
  • Pre-tax income of $25.9 million
  • Earnings of $0.40 per diluted share
  • Backlog homes increased 19% to 1,173
  • Sales value of backlog homes increased 23% to $404.7 million
  • Debt-to-book capitalization of 1.1%
  • Active community count increased 70% to 75 at quarter end
  • Total controlled lots increased 81% to 15,842

Greg Bennett, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite ongoing affordability challenges for our homebuyers, we have achieved another robust financial quarter due to our team’s unwavering commitment to operational excellence, combined with strong market demand. Our success is highlighted by a 17% year-over-year increase in closings and delivering above industry average gross margins of 26.7% for the quarter, which resulted in a pretax income of $25.9 million.”

Russ Devendorf, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer added, “During the quarter we have continued our prudent capital deployment in support of growth while maintaining our disciplined commitment to our land light strategy. We grew our total controlled lot position by 12% for the quarter, with 96% of our unstarted controlled lots being controlled via option agreement. We ended the quarter with over $17 million of cash, nearly $345 million of stockholder’s equity and zero borrowings under our credit facility, resulting in a net-debt-to-net book capitalization of (4.1)%.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), this press release includes net-debt-to-net book capitalization and adjusted net income.

Net-debt-to-net book capitalization

Net-debt-to-net book capitalization is a supplemental measure of our leverage that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to debt-to-book capitalization or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of net-debt-to-net book capitalization may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors because not all companies and analysts calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our leverage and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

We define net-debt-to-net book capitalization as:

  • Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by
  • Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, plus stockholders’ equity.

This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool in that it subtracts cash and cash equivalents and therefore may imply that the Company has less debt than the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of this limitation, this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered along with other financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the following table:

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income or net income margin as determined by GAAP. Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define adjusted net income as net income adjusted for the tax impact using a 25.0% federal and state blended tax rate (assuming 100% public ownership to adjust for the impact of taxes on earnings attributable to Smith Douglas Holdings LLC as if Smith Douglas Holdings LLC was a subchapter C corporation in the periods presented).

Management believes adjusted net income is useful because it allows management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and comparability to industry peers who record income tax expense on their income before tax as opposed to the income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC not being taxed at the entity level and, therefore, not reflecting a charge against earnings for income tax expense. Adjusted net income should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of adjusted net income may not be comparable to adjusted net income of other companies. We present adjusted net income because we believe it provides useful information regarding our comparability to peers.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted net income to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the periods indicated:
