Green Brick Partners, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or
the “Company”) today reported results for its fourth quarter and
year ended December 31, 2020, which were in line with the
preliminary results announced on January 22, 2021.
“Green Brick’s robust growth and financial success
reached new highs this year,” said Jim Brickman, Chief Executive
Officer. “The Company achieved a record diluted EPS of $2.24, up
93% year over year, representing a 34% compounded annual growth
rate from our FY 2015 results. Demand for our homes has been
tremendous at all price points and continues to climb with net new
orders in January and February 2021 up 80% year over year, well
above the 63% year over year increase seen in the last half of
2020.”
“Thanks to our significant investment in land and
lots this past year, our lots owned and controlled reached a record
14,468 lots, up 58% from just six months ago. This growth was
accomplished despite a record 1,004 construction starts in the
fourth quarter of 2020, a 99% increase over the fourth quarter of
2019. With both our construction and lot inventories entering 2021
at record levels, we fully expect to build upon our tremendous
progress over this past year and continue our rapid growth
trajectory into 2021.”

Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended
December 31, 2020:
Highlights for the three months ended December 31,
2020 included the following:
- EPS for the three months ended
December 31, 2020 was $0.58, a 81.3% increase compared to EPS of
$0.32 for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
- Net income attributable to Green Brick
was $29.3 million, an increase of 84.1% from $15.9 million.
- As compared to the three months ended
December 31, 2019, total revenues were $254.1 million, an
increase of 10.4% from $230.1 million; and gross profit was $63.9
million, an increase of 31.1% from $48.7 million.
- Residential units revenue was $246.4
million, an increase of 10.4% compared to $223.3 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2019. Land and lots revenue
was $7.7 million, an increase of 11.8% compared to $6.9 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2019.
“The strong operating results and financial success
this year would not have been possible without access to reliable
and cost-effective capital,” said Rick Costello, Chief Financial
Officer. “I am pleased to announce Green Brick has issued an
additional $125 million in senior unsecured notes as of February
25, 2021. These notes will be due in 2028 at a fixed rate of 3.25%.
With this expansion of our working capital, Green Brick has clearly
demonstrated its capacity to grow its business with low-cost debt
which is priced comparably to that of our low-leveraged large-cap
peers, all while maintaining one of the lowest debt to capital
ratios in the industry at 25.6%.”
Mr. Costello continued, “During the fourth quarter
of 2020 and continuing into March 2021, we have raised home prices
more aggressively to further increase margins and attempt to slow
down our sales pace. The Company intends for this increase in
pricing to lead to lower new order levels, but higher profits,
prospectively.”
Green Brick, like every other company in the United
States and the global economy, has been impacted by the coronavirus
(“COVID-19”) pandemic and the impact of governmental actions taken
to combat the pandemic. After an initial decline in orders and
construction at the onset of the crisis, orders have subsequently
achieved all-time highs due to historically low mortgage interest
rates, the participation in home ownership in increasing amounts by
the millennial generation, the desire of renters to leave high
density living conditions, and the relative strength of the markets
in which we operate. It has been difficult to keep up with demand.
As construction follows orders, we expect closings to grow
substantially beginning in the second quarter of 2021.
More disclosures related to the COVID-19 pandemic
can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020 that will be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company also announced that the Board of
Directors has authorized a new $50 million stock repurchase plan.
This plan authorizes the Company to purchase, from time to time,
until March 1, 2023, up to $50 million of our outstanding common
stock through open market repurchases in compliance with Rule
10b-18 under the Exchange Act and/or in privately negotiated
transactions at management’s discretion based on market and
business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other
factors. Shares repurchased will be retired. The plan may be
modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any
time in its sole discretion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key
Financial Metrics:
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 the Company’s 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.
Reclassifications:
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation with no impact to net
income in any period.
