• Home closings revenue of $7.2 billion, driven by 11,495 home closings at an average price of $623,000

• Homebuilding debt-to-capitalization of 26.0% on a gross basis and 16.8% net of $799 million of unrestricted cash
• Total liquidity of $1.8 billion

"Our team's strong fourth quarter execution wrapped up another tremendous year for Taylor Morrison. In total, we delivered 11,495 homes to generate $7.2 billion of homebuilding revenue at a healthy adjusted home closings gross margin of 24.0%, driving adjusted earnings of $7.54 per diluted share. Our earnings combined with $889 million of share repurchases over the last four years drove our book value per share to a new high of $49, which was up 15% from a year ago and 53% from two years ago," said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO.

"While we faced significant headwinds from rising interest rates, economic uncertainty and global unrest, our business displayed the resiliency we have strategically positioned it for following years of intentional growth, transformative M&A integrations, and tireless commitment to streamlining and optimizing our operational abilities. We strongly believe that our diversification across buyer groups ranging from entry-level, move-up and resort lifestyle combined with our emphasis on high-quality community locations are critical differentiators that enhance our bottom-line potential, growth opportunities and risk mitigation throughout housing's inevitable ebbs and flows as demonstrated with our results through a volatile fourth quarter."

Palmer continued, "Our top priority as we move ahead is reaccelerating our growth now that we believe that we have firmly established the operational efficiency required for outsized market share gains. In 2024, we expect to deliver at least 12,000 home closings at a home closings gross margin of 23.0% to 23.5%, followed by approximately 10% closings growth in 2025 and thereafter. Our $1.8 billion land investment in 2023 was focused on supporting these growth aspirations, and with one of the strongest balance sheets in our company's history, we are well positioned to continue investing with an accretive, disciplined approach in 2024 with an initial planned land spend in the range of $2.3 billion to $2.5 billion. In addition to driving growth in the years ahead, we also expect to repurchase approximately $300 million of common stock in 2024, further enhancing our shareholder returns."

Business Highlights (All comparisons are of the current quarter to the prior-year period, unless indicated.)

Homebuilding

• Home closings revenue declined 19% to $1.9 billion, driven by a 16% decrease in home closings to 3,190 and a 3% decrease in average closing price to $607,000.
• Home closings gross margin increased 60 basis points year over year to 24.1%. In the fourth quarter of 2022, home closings gross margin included an inventory impairment of $25 million. Excluding this charge, the adjusted home closings gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2022 was 24.5%. There was no similar charge taken in the fourth quarter of 2023.
• Net sales orders increased 30% to 2,361, driven by a 29% increase in the monthly absorption pace to 2.4 per community and a 1% increase in ending community count to 327. Average net sales order price increased 9% to $629,000.
• SG&A as a percentage of home closings revenue increased 240 basis points to 9.7% from the record low of 7.3% a year ago. The reduced leverage was primarily due to lower home closings revenue, higher performance-based compensation expense and external broker commissions.
• Cancellations equaled 11.6% of gross orders, down from 24.4% a year ago. This was consistent with historic norms.
• Backlog at quarter end was 5,289 homes with a sales value of $3.6 billion. Backlog customer deposits averaged approximately $62,000, or 9%, per home.

Land Portfolio

• Homebuilding land acquisition and development spend totaled $537 million in the fourth quarter, up from $373 million a year ago. Development-related spend accounted for 42% of the fourth quarter total versus 64% a year ago.
• To provide greater clarity into our lot position and improve comparability to some of our peers, we adjusted our methodology for calculating owned and controlled lots as of December 31, 2023. Specific to owned lots, we have excluded lots that have begun vertical construction. Those lots are defined separately as homes in inventory. With regard to controlled lots, we have expanded our definition to include those lots under contract with an earnest money deposit that have not yet been formally approved by our investment committee to offer a more complete look at our lot pipeline. All presented periods have been recast under the new methodology.
• Homebuilding lot supply was 72,362 owned and controlled homesites, down from 74,787 a year ago and 74,794 lots two years ago.
• Controlled homebuilding lots as a share of total lot supply was 53%, up from 51% a year ago and 49% two years ago.
• Based on trailing twelve-month home closings, total homebuilding lots represented 6.3 years of total supply, of which 3.0 years was owned. This compared to 5.9 years of total supply and 2.9 years of owned supply at year-end 2022 and 5.5 years of total supply and 2.8 years of owned supply at year-end 2021.

Financial Services

• The mortgage capture rate increased to 86%, up from 78% a year ago.
• Borrowers had an average credit score of 751 and debt-to-income ratio of 40%.

Balance Sheet

• At quarter end, total liquidity was approximately $1.8 billion, including $799 million of unrestricted cash and $1.1 billion of total capacity on the Company's revolving credit facilities, which were undrawn outside of normal letters of credit.
• The gross homebuilding debt-to-capital ratio was 26.0%, down from 32.0% a year ago. Including $799 million of unrestricted cash on hand, the net homebuilding debt-to-capital ratio was 16.8%, down from 24.0% a year ago.
• The Company repurchased 2.8 million shares for $128 million in 2023, including approximately 500,000 shares for $24 million in the fourth quarter. At quarter end, the Company had $494 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization.

Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the net income/(loss) available to the Company excluding, to the extent applicable in a given period, the impact of inventory impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net, and legal settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business and in the case of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, the tax impact due to such items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude, as applicable, interest expense/(income), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), non-cash compensation expense, if any, inventory impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net and legal settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business. Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, plus unamortized debt issuance cost/(premium), net, and less mortgage warehouse borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents ("net homebuilding debt"), by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders' equity). Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure based on GAAP home closings gross margin (which is inclusive of capitalized interest), excluding inventory impairment charges.

Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2023, we are excluding the impact of legal settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business from our calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, as we believe such legal settlements are not characteristic of our underlying operating performance.  The Company believes the exclusion of such amounts is useful to investors as it assists in the comparison of our operational performance across different periods.  While all previously reported periods have been conformed to the new definition, we determined that no further adjustments to prior periods were necessary under the new definition. 

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our regions, and to set targets for performance-based compensation.  We also use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization as an indicator of overall leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry.  In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors.

We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metrics assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. Because we use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason. We believe that adjusted home closings gross margin is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the varying effects of items or transactions we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours.

A reconciliation of (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) adjusted home closings gross margin; (iv) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (v) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio to the comparable GAAP measures is presented below.
