PRESS RELEASE
Beazer Homes Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results
ATLANTA, August 4, 2015 - Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015.
The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $12.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared with a net loss of $13.2 million, which included a $19.8 million loss on the extinguishment of debt, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
New home orders grew 18.1% for the quarter, with an average active community count that was 17.1% higher than a year ago. Absorption rates were especially strong at 3.1 sales per community per month for the quarter, while the average selling price (“ASP”) increased to $318.0 thousand, the highest ASP for any quarter in the Company’s history. Finally, the Company ended June 2015 with 2,764 units in backlog, a 25.0% increase from the prior year period, with an ASP of $325.3 thousand (8.5% greater than the ASP of backlog as of the end of the prior year quarter). The Company's backlog value for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $899.2 million, a 35.6% increase from the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA of $36.9 million was up more than $5 million versus last year. For the trailing twelve months, Adjusted EBITDA of $134.4 million was up more than $21 million, or 18.6%, compared to last year. Due to a lower than expected backlog conversion ratio in the second half of our fiscal year, caused primarily by weather-related delays in Texas, we now expect full year fiscal 2015 EBITDA growth of approximately $10 million versus the prior year, excluding certain previously disclosed warranty and litigation settlement costs.
“This quarter marked another step toward achieving our ‘2B-10’ objectives, with increased home closings, higher average sales prices, and G&A leverage leading to improved profitability,” said Allan Merrill, CEO of Beazer Homes. “Although there will always be factors such as weather that are outside of our control, our focus on improving profitability is unwavering. Driven by a growing community count, strong sales pace, higher selling prices, and further G&A leverage, we remain resolved to reach our ‘2B-10’ objectives.”
Summary results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 are as follows:

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit before impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales and the related gross margins to homebuilding gross profit 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.
In addition, given the unusual size and nature of the charges recorded related to the Florida stucco issues during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, homebuilding gross profit is also shown excluding these charges. Management believes that this representation best reflects the operating characteristics of the Company.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, debt extinguishment, impairments and abandonments) to total Company net 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.
In addition, given the unusual size and nature of certain charges recorded during the periods presented, Adjusted EBITDA is also shown excluding these charges. Management believes that this representation best reflects the operating characteristics of the Company.
