PULTEGROUP REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Reported Net Income of $1.62 Per Share
Adjusted Net Income of $1.49 Per Share
Net New Orders Increased 24% to 7,056 Homes; Order Value Increased 33% to $3.3 Billion
Home Sale Revenues Increased 5% to $3.1 Billion
Homebuilding Gross Margin Increased 220 Basis Points to 25.0%
Backlog Up 44% to 15,158 Homes with a Value of $6.8 Billion
Cash Balance of $2.6 Billion; Debt-to-Total Capitalization Decreased to 29.5%
Company Announces Plans to Tender for $300 Million of Outstanding Debt and Exercise the Early Redemption Feature on $426 Million of 2021 Bonds

ATLANTA - Jan. 28, 2021 - PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) announced today financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $438 million, or $1.62 per share. Adjusted net income for the period was $404 million, or $1.49 per share, after excluding a $16 million net pre-tax benefit from adjustments to insurance-related reserves, a $22 million pre-tax charge from adjustments to Financial Services reserves, and a tax benefit of $38 million resulting from energy tax credits and deferred tax valuation allowance adjustments recorded in the period. Reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $336 million, or $1.22 per share. Adjusted net income for the prior year period was $312 million, or $1.14 per share, after excluding a $31 million pre-tax benefit from adjustments to insurance-related reserves.

“PulteGroup’s fourth quarter and operating financial results attest to the ongoing strength of the housing market as we generated 24% growth in net new orders, realized a 220 basis point increase in gross margin and generated more than $500 million of operating cash flow in the period,” said Ryan Marshall, PulteGroup President and CEO. “Our fourth quarter and full-year 2020 performance enable PulteGroup to enter 2021 with tremendous momentum supported by our outstanding operating metrics and a backlog of more than 15,000 homes.”

“Given our strong operating cash flow and $2.6 billion of cash, we have the financial flexibility to allocate capital consistent with our stated priorities of investing in the business, paying our dividend, returning excess funds to shareholders through share repurchases, and the pay down of debt.”

“The ongoing strength in demand for new homes is broad based and continues to benefit from low mortgage rates, years of underbuilding new homes, a limited supply of homes for sale, and an increasing desire for homeownership and single-family living,” added Marshall. “Beyond these supports, we believe the pandemic has caused a permanent increase in the number of people who will be working from home which has meaningful implications on the sustained need for new homes going forward.”

Fourth Quarter Results

For the fourth quarter, home sale revenues increased 5% over 2019 to $3.1 billion. Higher revenues for the quarter were driven by a 4% increase in average sales price to $446,000, in combination with a 1% increase in closings to 6,860 homes.

Home sale gross margin for the fourth quarter was 25.0%, which represents an increase of 220 basis points over the prior year and is up 50 basis points from the third quarter of 2020.

The Company’s reported fourth quarter SG&A expense of $280 million, or 9.1% of home sale revenues, includes the $16 million net pre-tax benefit from adjustments to insurance-related reserves recorded in the period. Exclusive of this benefit, adjusted SG&A expense for the quarter was $296 million, or 9.7% of home sale revenues. Prior year reported SG&A expense of $262 million, or 8.9% of home sale revenues, included the $31 million pre-tax benefit from adjustments to insurance-related reserves. Excluding this benefit, adjusted SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $293 million, or 10.0% of home sale revenues.

Reflective of the strong demand environment, the Company’s fourth quarter net new orders increased 24% over the prior year to 7,056 homes, while the value of net new orders increased 33% to $3.3 billion. Average community count for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 846, compared with 865 communities last year.

The Company ended the fourth quarter with a unit backlog of 15,158 homes, which is up 44% over the comparable prior year period, valued at $6.8 billion.

The Company’s Financial Services operations reported pre-tax income of $43 million in the fourth quarter, inclusive of the $22 million pre-tax charge relating to reserve adjustments recorded in the period, compared with pre-tax income of $34 million in the prior year. The increase in pre-tax income for the quarter reflects a favorable rate and competitive environment, along with higher loan volumes resulting primarily from an increase in mortgage capture rate. Pulte Mortgage’s capture rate for the fourth quarter was 86%, up from 84% last year.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1.7 million of its common shares for $75 million, or an average price of $43.69 per share. For the year, the Company repurchased 4.5 million common shares, or approximately 2% of its outstanding shares, for $171 million, or an average price of $37.58 per share.

At year end, the Company had $2.6 billion of cash and a debt-to-total capitalization of 29.5%, which is down from 33.6% at the end of 2019.

In a separate release issued today, the Company announced a tender offer for $300 million of its 2026 and 2027 senior notes, which it expects to complete by February 26, 2021. The Company has also elected to exercise the early redemption feature, effective February 1, 2021, on its $426 million of senior notes originally scheduled to mature on March 1, 2021.

“Our disciplined business practices and strong cash flow generation continue to provide us with outstanding liquidity and financial flexibility, which was recently acknowledged when we received our second investment grade credit rating and became investment grade index eligible,” said Bob O’Shaughnessy. “Upon completion of our plans to pay down $726 million of our debt in the first quarter of this year, our balance sheet and financial flexibility will be further enhanced, allowing us to capitalize on market opportunities that may develop.”

A conference call discussing PulteGroup's fourth quarter 2020 results is scheduled for Thursday, January 28, 2021, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Interested investors can access the live webcast via PulteGroup's corporate website at www.pultegroupinc.com.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

This report contains information about our operating results reflecting certain adjustments, including net income, diluted earnings per share, and operating margin. These measures are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC's rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measures as measures of our profitability. We believe that reflecting these adjustments provides investors relevant and useful information for evaluating the comparability of financial information presented and comparing our profitability 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 tables set forth a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures that management believes to be most directly comparable ($000's omitted):

(NYSE: PHM) (“PulteGroup” or the “Company”) announced today the commencement of cash tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) to purchase up to $300 million aggregate principal amount (the “Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount”) of its outstanding 5.500% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and 5.000% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “Notes”), in the priorities set forth in the table below. The following table sets forth certain terms of the Tender Offers: Dollars per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes Title of Notes CUSIP Numbers / ISIN Aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding(1) Tender Cap Acceptance Priority Level Tender Offer Consideration(2) Early Tender Premium Total Consideration(2)(3) 5.500% Senior Notes due 2026 745867 AW1/US745867A W12 $ 700,000,000 $200,000,000 1 $ 1,170.00 $ 30.00 $ 1,200.00 5.000% Senior Notes due 2027 745867AX9/US74 5867AX94 $ 600,000,000 $100,000,000 2 $ 1,165.00 $ 30.00 $ 1,195.00 (1) As of the date of the Offer to Purchase. (2) Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from and including the applicable last interest payment with respect to the Notes accepted for purchase to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (as defined below) or the Final Settlement Date (as defined below), as applicable. (3) Includes the Early Tender Premium. The terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are described in an Offer to Purchase, dated January 28, 2021 (the “Offer to Purchase”). PulteGroup intends to fund the Tender Offers, including accrued interest and fees and expenses payable in connection with the Tender Offers, with cash on hand. Holders of Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 10, 2021 (such time and date, as it may be extended, the “Early Tender Time”) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will receive the applicable Total Consideration set forth in the table above, which includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). Holders of Notes tendering their Notes after the Early Tender Time will only be eligible to receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration for such series of Notes set forth in the table above, which is the applicable Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium.


 
2 ACTIVE 264281561 In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, all holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below) for such Notes. Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 10, 2021 (the “Withdrawal Time”) and may not be validly withdrawn thereafter except as provided in the Offer to Purchase or applicable law. The Tender Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, at the end of February 25, 2021, unless extended by PulteGroup in its sole discretion (the “Expiration Time”). Provided that the conditions to the applicable Tender Offer have been satisfied or waived, and assuming acceptance for purchase by PulteGroup of the Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers, (i) payment for Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offers will be made on the settlement date that is expected to be the second business day following the Early Tender Time, or as promptly as practicable thereafter (the “Early Settlement Date”) and (ii) payment for any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time, but at or prior to the Expiration Time, and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offers will be made on the settlement date that is expected to be the second business day following the Expiration Time (the “Final Settlement Date” and, together with the related Early Settlement Date, the “Settlement Dates”). Subject to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, the Tender Caps (as defined below) and proration, the Notes accepted for payment on either Settlement Date will be accepted in accordance with their Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table above, with 1 being the higher Acceptance Priority Level and 2 being the lower Acceptance Priority Level; provided that Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase with priority over Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time, even if such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time have a higher Acceptance Priority Level. In addition, no more than $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (as it may be increased by the Company, the “2026 Tender Cap”) and no more than $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes (as it may be increased by the Company, the “2027 Tender Cap” (together with the 2026 Tender Cap, the “Tender Caps” and each a “Tender Cap”)) will be purchased in the Tender Offers. Acceptance for tenders of the Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded. Acceptance for tenders of the Notes of a series may also be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is greater than the Tender Cap applicable to such series. Furthermore, if the Tender Offers are fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of such Notes accepted for purchase. If the principal amount of the Notes of a series validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time exceeds the Tender Cap applicable to such series, the Company will not accept for purchase any Notes of such series tendered after the Early Tender Time. The Company reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and/or either or each Tender Cap at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law, which could result in the Company purchasing a greater aggregate principal amount of Notes in the Tender Offers. There can be no assurance that the Company will exercise its right to increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and/or either or each Tender Cap. If the Company increases the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and/or either or each Tender Cap, it does not expect to extend the Withdrawal Time, subject to applicable law. Accordingly, holders should not tender any Notes that they do not wish to have purchased in the Tender Offers.


 
3 ACTIVE 264281561 The Tender Offers are not contingent upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of Notes. PulteGroup’s obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for the Notes validly tendered in any Tender Offer is subject to and conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. PulteGroup reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to: (a) extend the Early Tender Time, Withdrawal Time or Expiration Time to a later date and time as announced by the Company; (b) increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and/or either or each Tender Cap; (c) waive or modify in whole or in part any or all conditions to the Tender Offers; (d) delay the acceptance for purchase of any Notes or delay the purchase of any Notes; or (e) otherwise modify or terminate one or both of the Tender Offers.
