GREEN BRICK PARTNERS, INC. REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
DILUTED EPS OF $1.82, A RECORD FOR ANY FIRST QUARTER, UP 32.8%
RECORD HOMEBUILDING GROSS MARGIN OF 33.4%, UP 580 BASIS POINTS
NET NEW HOME ORDERS OF 1,071, FLAT YOY AND UP 58% SEQUENTIALLY
BACKLOG OF $725 MILLION, UP 31.8% YOY
DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITAL OF 18.3%; NET DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITAL OF 8.2%
PLANO, Texas, May 1, 2024 — Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or the “Company”) today reported record results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
“Green Brick kicked off 2024 with excellent first quarter results highlighted by diluted earnings per share of $1.82, a record for any first quarter and an increase of 32.8% year-over-year. I am extremely proud of our teams being able to deliver consistently outstanding performance and results. During the first quarter, we delivered 821 homes, generating $443.1 million in home closings revenue,” said Jim Brickman, CEO and Co-Founder. “Our advantages in infill and infill-adjacent locations and self-development strategy produced a record homebuilding gross margin of 33.4%, which was the highest amongst our public homebuilding peers. More importantly, our accomplishments were achieved with a balance sheet that is stronger than ever. With record earnings and strong operating cash flows, we continued to invest in future growth while we decreased our debt-to-total-capital ratio by 550 basis points year-over-year to 18.3% at the end of the quarter and lowered our net-debt-to-total-capital ratio to 8.2%.”
“We achieved the second highest quarterly sales orders in company history at 1,071 net orders, just shy of the Covid-fueled 1,082 orders in the first quarter of 2021. Our absorption rate per average active selling community remained robust at 11.4 per quarter, or 3.8 per month, despite higher interest rates. Moreover, our net new home orders increased nearly 58% sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2023 due to strong demand within our markets. We were also able to reduce overall average incentive rates from 5.6% of sales price in 4Q23 to 3.8% in March 2024. Our cancellation rate dropped to 4.1%, the lowest of other public homebuilders in the quarter and the lowest in company history. Based on our strong sales performance, our backlog grew 30.7% sequentially to $725 million. Notably, our ending community count grew 24.1% year-over-year to 98. Additionally, we continued to grow starts as we started 997 homes in 1Q24, averaging over 940 starts during the last three quarters. With a mean companywide cycle time of 5.5 months for homes completed in the quarter, we improved our operations in terms of both scale and efficiency,” concluded Mr. Brickman.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
