Management Comments
“We delivered strong results in the second quarter as we continued to capitalize on the recovery in demand for new homes and focused on increasing affordability for our customers and returning profitability to historical levels,” said Eric Lipar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LGI Homes.
“In the second quarter, we closed 1,854 homes, a 35.7% increase over the first quarter of 2023, and generated over $645.3 million in revenue. Driving our performance was the strength of our backlog coming into the second quarter and our ongoing success at connecting motivated, qualified buyers with our highly trained sales teams. Our average



selling price in the second quarter was $348,042, a decrease of 2.4%, both year-over-year and sequentially. Contributing to the decrease was our decision to start smaller square footage homes with the goal of realigning our product offering to increase affordability for our customers. The success of these actions was evident in our second quarter results. Our net new orders increased 124.2% over the same period last year, and we expect our continued focus on increasing affordability to drive additional benefits in the coming quarters as more of these smaller homes become available.
“Increasing profitability remained a key priority during the quarter and our gross margins reflected that focus. In the second quarter, our gross margin was 22.0% and our adjusted gross margin was 23.8%. Both metrics were up 170 basis points over the first quarter of this year, marking significant progress on the path to returning our profitability metrics back to historical levels.
“Based on our results to date and our outlook for the second half of the year, we are raising our full year closing guidance to a range between 6,500 and 7,200 homes and raising our full year gross margin guidance to a range between 21.5% and 23.5% and adjusted gross margin guidance to a range between 23.0% and 25.0%. We are investing in the growth of our business, bringing new communities online and identifying opportunities for additional growth in the years to come. We continue to expect 115 to 125 active communities at year end with an additional 20% to 30% growth in community count in 2024.”
Mr. Lipar concluded, “Demand trends remain positive and our performance year to date provides us with significant momentum as we pursue our goals and objectives for 2023. We are proud of our second quarter results and enter the second half of the year well positioned with a clear focus on driving growth, improving profitability and continuing to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
Full Year 2023 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 2023. The Company now expects:
Home closings between 6,500 and 7,200
Active selling communities at the end of 2023 between 115 and 125
Average sales price per home closed between $345,000 and $360,000
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues between 21.5% and 23.5%
Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues between 23.0% and 25.0% with capitalized interest accounting for the majority of the difference between gross margin and adjusted gross margin
SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenues between 12.5% and 13.5%
Effective tax rate between 24.0% and 25.0%
This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including input costs, materials, product and labor availability, interest rates and mortgage availability, in the remainder of 2023 are similar to those experienced so far in the third quarter of 2023 and that construction costs, availability of land and land development costs in the remainder of 2023 are consistent with the Company’s recent experience. In addition, this outlook assumes that governmental regulations relating to land development and home construction are similar to those currently in place.

The Company will host a conference call via live webcast for investors and other interested parties beginning at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, August 1, 2023 (the “Earnings Call”).

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 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):
