Beazer Homes reported an extraordinary second quarter, marked by significant growth in sales pace, average sales price, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA, resulting in a doubling of quarterly net income compared to the previous year. The company also improved its balance sheet efficiency by increasing the share of lots controlled by options while continuing to reduce leverage.
Net income from continuing operations reached $24.6 million, a significant increase from $10.6 million in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 46.2% to $64.2 million.
Homebuilding revenue grew by 12.2% to $547.4 million, driven by increases in both average selling price and home closings.
The dollar value of homes in backlog increased by 54.9% to $1,386.4 million.
Beazer Homes expects fiscal year 2021 earnings per share to be above $3.00, driven by continued strength in new home demand and a backlog that is up more than 50% in dollar value compared to last year.
