Net signed contract value was $3.05 billion, up 97% compared to FY 2020's second quarter; contracted homes were 3,487, up 85%. Net signed contracts, in both dollars and units, were all-time records.
Backlog value was $8.69 billion at second quarter end, up 58% compared to FY 2020's second quarter; homes in backlog were 10,104, up 57%. Quarter-end backlog, in both dollars and units, were all-time records.

Adjusted home sales gross margin, which excludes interest and inventory write-downs, was 24.4%, compared to FY 2020's second quarter adjusted home sales gross margin of 22.9%.
SG&A, as a percentage of home sales revenues, was 11.9%, compared to 13.8% in FY 2020's second quarter.
Income from operations was $184.4 million.
Other income, income from unconsolidated entities, and gross margin from land sales and other was $21.5 million.
In March 2021, the Company announced an increase of its quarterly cash dividend to $0.17 per share, or a rate of $0.68 per share on an annualized basis, representing a 54.5% increase from the prior quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share.

Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, stated: "Our business continues to operate at a very high level. With strong demand and constrained industry-wide supply, we have continued to raise prices in excess of cost increases while setting all-time records for contracts and backlog in both units and dollars, and exceeding our guidance on nearly every metric.

"These exceptional results reflect the strategic expansion of our product lines and geographies, as well as structural changes we have made in how we operate to focus on driving sustainable increases in profit margins and return on equity. Based on the land we currently control, we are projecting community count growth to 340 communities at fiscal year end, with an additional 10% growth in fiscal 2022.

"We are encouraged by the continued strength of the housing market, which is supported by a long-term supply-demand imbalance, favorable demographics, especially the drive to home ownership among millennials, low mortgage rates, and the greater overall appreciation for one's home that has emerged out of the pandemic. These market conditions, which we expect to continue into the foreseeable future, play to our strengths of creating luxury communities in desirable locations, offering a broad range of price points, and providing our home buyers the ability to personalize their homes.

"Based on the strength of our outlook for the remainder of this year and beyond, we are raising our fiscal year 2021 guidance on nearly all key metrics. We expect continued margin improvement through the second half of fiscal 2021 as well as in 2022, and we project return on beginning equity in excess of 20% in fiscal 2022."

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

This press release contains, and Company management's discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company's adjusted homes sales gross margin and the Company's net debt-to-capital ratio.

These two measures are non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies in the home building business.

The Company's management considers these non-GAAP financial measures as we make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance, including against other home builders that may use similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company's management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in understanding our operations and leverage and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other home builders to the extent they provide similar information.

Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin

The following table reconciles the Company's homes sales gross margin as a percentage of homes sale revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company's adjusted homes sales gross margin (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted homes sales gross margin is calculated as (i) homes sales gross margin plus interest recognized in homes sales cost of revenues plus inventory write-downs recognized in home sales cost of revenues divided by (ii) homes sale revenues.

Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin Reconciliation

(Amounts in thousands, except percentages)

		Three Months Ended April 30,						Six Months Ended April 30,
		2021			2020			2021			2020
Revenues - homes sales		$	1,836,260		$	1,516,234		$	3,246,964		$	2,813,571
Cost of revenues - home sales		1,434,493			1,220,978			2,556,286			2,254,100

	Inventory write-downs	1,581			14,214			2,847			15,245
Adjusted homes sales gross margin		$	447,440		$	347,507		$	770,942		$	645,527

Homes sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues		21.9		%	19.5		%	21.3		%	19.9		%

Adjusted home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sale revenues		24.4		%	22.9		%	23.7		%	22.9		%

The Company's management believes adjusted home sales gross margin is a useful financial measure to investors because it allows them to evaluate the performance of our home building operations without the often varying effects of capitalized interest costs and inventory impairments. The use of adjusted home sales gross margin also assists the Company's management in assessing the profitability of our home building operations and making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix.

Forward-looking Adjusted Homes Sales Gross Margin

The Company has not provided projected third quarter and full FY 2021 homes sales gross margin or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking adjusted homes sales gross margin because such measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis, since inventory write-downs are based on future activity and observation and therefore cannot be projected for the third quarter and full FY 2021. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our third quarter and full FY 2021 homes sales gross margin.

Net Debt-to-Capital Ratio

The following table reconciles the Company's ratio of debt to capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company's net debt-to-capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure). The net debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as (i) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents plus stockholders' equity.

The Company's management uses the net debt-to-capital ratio as an indicator of its overall leverage and believes it is a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company's operations.
