Management Comments
“We delivered solid results in the second quarter, including continued growth in our community count and outstanding profitability metrics that exceeded the high end of our guidance,” said Eric Lipar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LGI Homes.



“During the quarter, we delivered 1,655 homes at an average sales price of $364,047, resulting in $602.5 million dollars of revenue. In May, we hit a new record of 130 communities and ended June with 128 communities, up 25.5% over last year and right on track to reach our goal of 150 communities by year end.
“We delivered a gross margin of 25.0%, up 300 basis points from last year, and an adjusted gross margin of 27.0%, up 320 basis points from last year. Notably, both results are in line with our pre-pandemic performance. Driving this outperformance was our ability to offset the impact of mortgage buydown incentives and cost inflation by raising prices along with the benefits of opening more self-developed, higher margin communities. Additionally, we delivered a pre-tax profit margin of 12.8%, up 170 basis points from last year and similarly in line with our results prior to the pandemic. Taken together, these achievements contributed to diluted earnings per share of $2.48, an increase of 10.2% compared to the same period last year.
“On the momentum of these results, we now turn our attention to the remainder of 2024. Based on our performance to date, current backlog, and view on the inventory available to close this year, we are adjusting our guidance. We now expect to close between 6,400 and 7,200 homes this year at a higher average selling price of between $360,000 and $370,000. Additionally, we have increased our gross margin guidance range to between 23.5% and 24.5% and adjusted gross margin to between 25.5% and 26.5%.”
Mr. Lipar concluded, “Our strong second quarter results are a testament to the focused execution of our teams and our success at managing affordability challenges while still delivering outstanding margins that reflect our commitment to increasing profitability and driving higher returns.”
Full Year 2024 Outlook
Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release and the assumptions noted below, the Company is providing the following updates to its guidance for the full year 2024. The Company now expects:
Home closings between 6,400 and 7,200
Active selling communities at the end of 2024 of approximately 150
Average sales price per home closed between $360,000 and $370,000
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues between 23.5% and 24.5%
Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues between 25.5% and 26.5% with capitalized interest accounting for substantially all of the difference between gross margin and adjusted gross margin
SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenues between 13.0% and 14.0%
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 2024 are similar to those experienced to date in 2024 and that construction costs, availability of land and land development costs in the remainder of 2024 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, July 30, 2024 (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 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, unaudited):
