Management Comments
“We delivered another record breaking quarter, despite continued cost pressures and numerous supply chain headwinds,” stated Eric Lipar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LGI Homes.
“During the quarter, we closed 2,499 homes, increased revenue 40.7% to $752 million and delivered a record 8.1 home closings per community, per month. Continued mitigation of cost pressures supported a 160 basis point improvement in our gross margin and a 90 basis point improvement in our adjusted gross margin. Our SG&A expense ratio declined to an all-time low of 8.6%, helping drive a 230 basis point improvement in our pre-tax net income margin to 16.9%. Net income increased 13% year-over-year to $101 million, or $4.05 per diluted share, and we delivered a 39% return on equity.
“Based on our continued high absorptions and supply chain impacts to development timing, we now expect to end the year with 100 to 105 active communities. However, we maintain our expectation to close between 10,000 and 10,500 homes at an average sales price of $285,000 to $295,000. Given our performance to date, we are tightening guidance on our gross margin to a range between 26.5% and 27.5% and adjusted gross margin to a range between 28% and 29%. Our full year SG&A expense ratio is unchanged. Finally, we are tightening our full year effective tax rate to a range between 20.0% and 21.0%.”
Mr. Lipar concluded, “Our incredible performance to date, strong capital position and attractive land portfolio have put us on track to deliver record results in 2021 and positioned us for continued success in the years to come.”
2021 Third Quarter Results
Home closings during the third quarter of 2021 totaled 2,499, an increase of 19.5%, from 2,091 home closings during the third quarter of 2020.
At the end of the third quarter of 2021, active selling communities decreased to 103 from 110 communities at the end of the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in community count is due to close out of or transition between certain active communities for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020.
Home sales revenues for the third quarter of 2021 were $751.6 million, an increase of $217.4 million, or 40.7%, over the third quarter of 2020. The increase in home sales revenues is primarily due to the increase in home closings and an increase in the average sales price per home closed during the third quarter of 2021.
The average sales price per home closed for the third quarter of 2021 was $300,764, an increase of $45,287, or 17.7%, over the third quarter of 2020. This increase in the average sales price per home closed is primarily due to increased closings at higher price points in certain markets and a favorable pricing environment, partially offset by additional wholesale home closings.
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues for the third quarter of 2021 was 26.9% as compared to 25.3% for the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues for the third quarter of 2021 was 28.2% as compared to 27.3% for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in gross margin and adjusted gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues is primarily due to raising prices higher than increases in input costs, for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020. Please see “Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) to gross margin, the most comparable GAAP measure.
Loss on extinguishment of debt for the third quarter of 2021 was $13.3 million, primarily due to the redemption premium associated with our 6.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”), as well as debt issuance costs and discount previously capitalized that were associated with the 2026 Senior Notes. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the third quarter of 2020.
Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $100.6 million, or $4.10 per basic share and $4.05 per diluted share, an increase of $11.5 million, or 13.0%, from $89.0 million, or $3.55 per basic share and $3.52 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in net income is primarily attributed to higher gross margins, operating leverage realized from the increase in home sales revenues and higher average sales price per home closed recognized during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020.
Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Home closings during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled 7,916, an increase of 33.5%, from 5,931 home closings during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Home sales revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $2.2 billion, an increase of $778.5 million, or 52.9%, over the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in home sales revenues is primarily due to increased home closings and an increase in the average sales price per home closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The average sales price per home closed for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $284,117, an increase of $36,177, or 14.6%, over the first quarter 2020. This increase in the average sales price per home closed is primarily due to higher price points in certain markets, partially offset by additional wholesale home closings.
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 27.0% as compared to 24.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 28.4% as compared to 26.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in gross margin and adjusted gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues is primarily due to raising prices higher than increases in input costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Please see “Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) to gross margin, the most comparable GAAP measure.
Loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $14.0 million, primarily due to the redemption premium associated with the 2026 Senior Notes, as well as debt issuance costs and discount previously capitalized that were associated with the 2026 Senior Notes and debt issuance costs previously capitalized that were associated with our revolving credit facility. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $318.3 million, or $12.85 per basic share and $12.72 per diluted share, an increase of $130.9 million, or 69.8%, from $187.5 million, or $7.45 per basic share and $7.40 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net income is primarily attributed to operating leverage realized from the increase in home sales revenues and higher average sales price per home closed, partially offset by tax benefits relating to the federal energy efficient homes tax credits recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Updated Full Year 2021 Outlook
Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release, the Company is providing the following updates to its guidance for the full year 2021. The Company believes:
•Home closings between 10,000 and 10,500
•Active selling communities at the end of 2021 between 100 and 105
•Average sales price per home closed between $285,000 and $295,000
•Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues between 26.5% and 27.5%
•Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues between 28.0% and 29.0% with capitalized interest accounting for substantially all the difference between gross margin and adjusted gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues
•SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenues between 9.0% and 9.5%
•Effective tax rate between 20.0% and 21.0%
This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including interest rates and mortgage availability, in the remainder of 2021 are similar to those experienced so far in the fourth quarter of 2021 and that average sales price per home closed, construction costs, availability of construction materials, availability of land, land development costs and overall absorption rates in the remainder of 2021 are consistent with the Company’s recent experience. In addition, this outlook assumes that governmental regulations relating to land development, home construction and COVID-19 are similar to those currently in place. Any further restrictions related to COVID-19 or other governmental restrictions on land development or home construction could negatively impact the Company’s ability to achieve this guidance.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided information in this press release relating to adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share.
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 results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of 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, unaudited):

(1)Adjustments result from the application of purchase accounting for acquisitions and represent the amount of the fair value step-up adjustments included in cost of sales for real estate inventory sold after the acquisition dates.
(2)Calculated as a percentage of home sales revenues.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income less the federal energy efficient homes tax credits. The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average shares outstanding. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides useful information to investors because such measures isolate the impact that material retroactive tax adjustments have on net income and earnings per share. However, because adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share information excludes the federal energy efficient homes tax credits, which have real economic effects and could impact results, the utility of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share as measures of operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share information should be considered only as a supplement to net income and earnings per share information as measures of the Company’s performance.
The following table reconciles adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to net income and earnings per share, respectively, which are the GAAP measures that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands):
