Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020.
“We generated strong second quarter results, highlighted by growth in revenue, margin and profitability, said Allan P. Merrill, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Beazer Homes. “Of course, these results were overshadowed by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in mid-March. We have made significant operational changes to help protect the health and safety of our team, our customers and our trade partners and simultaneously taken steps to enhance our liquidity.”
Beazer Homes Fiscal Second Quarter 2020 Highlights and Comparison to Fiscal Second Quarter 2019
The following provides additional details on the Company's performance during the fiscal second quarter 2020:
Profitability. Second quarter net income from continuing operations was $10.6 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $0.35. Net income was up $4.4 million year-over-year after adjusting for impairment charges and gain on debt extinguishment taken during the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA of $43.9 million was up $11.3 million year-over-year.
Orders. Net new orders for the second quarter increased 3.9% year-over-year, to 1,661. The increase in net new orders was primarily driven by a 2.2% increase in average community count to 167. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 15.8%, up 130 basis points year-over-year.
Homebuilding Revenue. Second quarter closings rose 12.6% to 1,277 homes. Combined with a 2.9% increase in the average selling price to $382.1 thousand, homebuilding revenue was $488.0 million, up 15.9% year-over-year.
Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of March 31, 2020 increased 14.3% to $895.0 million, or 2,231 homes, compared to $783.3 million, or 1,989 homes, at the same time last year. The average selling price of homes in backlog was $401.2 thousand, up 1.9% year-over-year.
Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin (excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest) was 20.8% for the second quarter, up 100 basis points year-over-year.
SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue, were 12.0% for the quarter, down 70 basis points year-over-year.
Liquidity Update. At the close of the second quarter, total liquidity was $294.3 million including a fully drawn $250.0 million revolving credit facility. This compares to total liquidity of $221.4 million at March 31, 2019, including cash of $86.4 million and undrawn revolving credit facility capacity of $135.0 million.
As we stated in our April 6th announcement of preliminary operating results, despite an increasingly challenging business environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the final weeks of March, we generated strong fiscal second quarter results. We also ended the quarter with substantially more liquidity than in the same period in the prior year. However, due to uncertainty surrounding this ongoing public health crisis and its continued impact on the U.S. economy, we cannot predict either the near-term or long-term effects that the pandemic will have on our business. We intend to provide further updates on the current impact of the pandemic on our operations during a conference call on April 30, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss our second fiscal quarter results. Information on the conference call is provided below.
Summary results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things: (i) the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, in addition to exacerbating each of the risks listed below, may include a significant decrease in demand for our homes or consumer confidence generally with respect to purchasing a home, an inability to sell and build homes in a typical manner or at all, increased costs or decreased supply of building materials or the availability of subcontractors, housing inspectors, and other third-parties we rely on to support our operations, and recognizing charges in future periods, which may be material, for goodwill impairments, inventory impairments and/or land option contract abandonments; (ii) our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital, due to factors such as limitations in the capital markets (including market volatility) or adverse credit market conditions, which have worsened and may continue to worsen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our ability to otherwise meet our ongoing liquidity needs (which could cause us to fail to meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under our various debt instruments and therefore trigger an acceleration of a significant portion or all of our outstanding debt obligations), including the impact of any downgrades of our credit ratings or reduction in our liquidity levels; (iii) market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital); (iv) the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and a potential deterioration in homebuilding industry conditions; (v) economic changes nationally or in local markets, changes in consumer confidence, wage levels, declines in employment levels, inflation or increases in the quantity and decreases in the price of new homes and resale homes on the market; (vi) shortages of or increased prices for labor, land or raw materials used in housing production, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by our subcontractors; (vii) the availability and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our inventory, such as asset impairment charges we took on select California assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2019; (viii) factors affecting margins, such as decreased land values underlying land option agreements, increased land development costs in communities under development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce our production and overhead cost structure; (ix) estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog) are imprecise, as they are subject to various cancellation risks that cannot be fully controlled; (x) increases in mortgage interest rates, increased disruption in the availability of mortgage financing, changes in tax laws or otherwise regarding the deductibility of mortgage interest expenses and real estate taxes or an increased number of foreclosures; (xi) increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design; (xii) natural disasters or other related events that could result in delays in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease demand in the impacted areas; (xiii) the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets; (xiv) potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or governmental policies, including those related to the environment; (xv) the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations; (xvi) the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims; (xvii) the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds, as well as the sufficiency of these instruments to cover potential losses incurred; (xiii) the impact of information technology failures, cybersecurity issues or data security breaches; (xix) terrorist acts, natural disasters, acts of war or other factors over which the Company has little or no control; or (xx) the impact on homebuilding in key markets of governmental regulations limiting the availability of water.
Any forward-looking statement, including any statement expressing confidence regarding future outcomes, speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin before impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales to homebuilding gross profit (loss) and gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that this information assists investors in comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective level of impairments and level of debt.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to total company net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position and level of impairments. These EBITDA measures should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.
The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to total company net income (loss) below differs from prior year, as it reclassifies stock-based compensation expense from an adjustment within EBITDA to an adjustment within Adjusted EBITDA in order to accurately present EBITDA per its definition.
