Management Comments
“Things are not slowing down at LGI Homes,” commented Eric Lipar, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “We continue to see strong demand for homeownership across the country. This coupled with our first quarter results has set the pace for another year of solid growth and strong performance. In 2016, we will continue to expand and execute on our growth plan and we expect to deliver robust year-over-year results.”
2016 First Quarter Results
Home closings during the first quarter of 2016 increased 25.8% to 844 from 671 during the first quarter of 2015. Active selling communities increased to 56 at the end of the first quarter of 2016, up from 44 communities at the end of the first quarter of 2015.
Home sales revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $162.5 million, an increase of $41.8 million, or 34.6% over the first quarter of 2015. The increase in home sales revenues is primarily due to the increase in the number of homes closed and an increase in the average home sales price.
The average home sales price was $192,491 for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $12,625, or 7.0%, over the first quarter of 2015. This increase is largely attributable to changes in product mix, price points in new markets, and a favorable pricing environment.
Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues for the first quarter of 2016 was 26.7% as compared to 27.8% for the first quarter of 2015. This decrease is primarily due to a shift in geographic mix and a combination of increased construction costs and lot costs partially offset by higher average home sales price. In addition, the Company experienced higher indirect overhead charges in the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to timing and costs related to expansion. Please see “Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin.
Net income of $11.7 million, or $0.58 per basic share and $0.57 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016 increased $4.0 million, or 51.9%, from $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2015. This increase is primarily attributable to the 25.8% increase in homes closed, the increase in average home sales price, and operating leverage





realized related to selling, general and administrative expenses, net of increased expenses associated with new communities.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has provided information in this press release relating to “Adjusted Gross Margin.”
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of the Company’s performance.
The following table reconciles adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands):
