Tuesday 23 July 2024
PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) announced today financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $809 million, or $3.83 per share. Reported net income for the quarter includes a $52 million pre-tax, or $0.19 per share, insurance benefit recorded in the period, and a $13 million, or $0.06 per share, benefit related to the favorable resolution of certain state tax matters. Prior year reported net income of $720 million, or $3.21 per share, included a $65 million pre-tax, or $0.21 per share, insurance benefit recorded in the period.
“PulteGroup’s balanced operating model continues to deliver outstanding financial results as increases in closings, average sales price and gross margin were key drivers of the 19% increase in our earnings to $3.83 per share,” said Ryan Marshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of PulteGroup. “The resulting strong cash flows are providing us with tremendous flexibility as we continued to intelligently allocate capital in the quarter to invest in our business growth, while returning funds to shareholders and further strengthening our overall capital structure.
“While interest rate movements can impact short-term homebuying demand, long-term market dynamics continue to benefit from a structural shortage of homes caused by years of underbuilding,” added Mr. Marshall. “As demonstrated by our 27.1% return on equity* for the past 12 months, we continue to successfully navigate these conditions by actively managing sales price, pace and starts on a community-by-community basis with the goal of realizing high returns on invested capital and equity over time.”
Home sale revenues for the second quarter increased 10% over the prior year to $4.4 billion. Higher revenues in the quarter were driven by an 8% increase in closings to 8,097 homes, combined with a 2% increase in average sales price to $549,000.
The Company reported second quarter homebuilding gross margins of 29.9%, which is an increase of 30 basis points over both last year and the first quarter of 2024. The Company’s reported second quarter SG&A expense of $361 million, or 8.1% of home sale revenues, includes the $52 million pre-tax insurance benefit recorded in the quarter. Prior year reported SG&A expense of $315 million, or 7.8% of home sale revenues, includes a $65 million pre-tax insurance benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2023.
In the second quarter, the Company reported net new orders of 7,649, compared with 7,947 homes in the comparable prior year period. The dollar value of net new orders in the second quarter increased 2% over the prior year to $4.4 billion. The Company operated out of an average of 934 communities in the period, which is an increase of 3% over the second quarter of 2023.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company’s backlog was 12,982 homes with a value of $8.1 billion.
The Company's financial services operations reported second quarter pre-tax income of $63 million, compared with prior year pre-tax income of $46 million. The 36% increase in pre-tax income was driven by gains across all business lines within financial services: mortgage, title and insurance. Mortgage capture rate for the second quarter was 86%, up from 80% last year.
The Company’s reported income tax expense for the second quarter was $239 million, representing an effective tax rate of 22.8%. The Company’s effective tax rate is inclusive of the $13 million benefit related to the favorable resolution of certain state tax matters realized in the quarter.
In the second quarter, the Company repurchased 2.8 million of its outstanding common shares for $314 million, or an average price of $113.79 per share. The Company also completed a tender offer in the period for $300 million of its outstanding senior notes, lowering its quarter-end outstanding notes payable to $1.7 billion. Inclusive of these transactions, the Company ended the second quarter with $1.4 billion of cash and a debt-to-capital ratio of 12.8%.
A conference call discussing PulteGroup's second quarter 2024 results is scheduled for Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Interested investors can access the live webcast via PulteGroup's corporate website at www.pultegroup.com.
* The Company's return on equity is calculated as net income for the trailing twelve months divided by average shareholders' equity, where average shareholders' equity is the sum of ending shareholders' equity balances of the trailing five quarters divided by five.

PulteGroup, Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains information about our debt-to-capital ratios. These measures could be considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC's rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, comparable GAAP financial measures. We calculate total net debt by subtracting total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash from notes payable to present the amount of assets needed to satisfy the debt. We use the debt-to-capital and net debt-to-capital ratios as indicators of our overall leverage and believe they are useful financial measures in understanding the leverage employed in our operations. We believe that these measures provide investors relevant and useful information for evaluating the comparability of financial information presented and comparing our profitability and liquidity to other companies in the homebuilding industry. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, the methods used may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate these measures and any adjustments thereto before comparing our measures to those of such other companies.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the debt-to-capital ratios ($000's omitted):
