Management Comments
“We are proud to announce an outstanding second quarter at LGI Homes highlighting record-setting closings, revenues, average sales price, net income and EPS,” stated Eric Lipar, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “Based on these solid results and our achievements during the first half of the year, we believe we are well positioned to finish the year strong and are updating our guidance. For the full year 2016, we now anticipate closings to be between 4,000 and 4,300 homes and are increasing the range of our average sales price guidance. In addition, we are raising our full year EPS guidance to $3.20 to $3.70 per basic share based on our expectation to produce gross margin between 25.2% and 27.2%, adjusted gross margin between 26.5% to 28.5% and continued SG&A leverage.”
2016 Second Quarter Results
Home closings during the second quarter of 2016 increased 32.2% to 1,128 from 853 home closings during the second quarter of 2015. Active selling communities increased to 56 at the end of the second quarter of 2016, up from 45 communities at the end of the second quarter of 2015.
Home sales revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $222.7 million, an increase of $63.9 million, or 40.2% over the second 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 $197,450 for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $11,253, or 6.0%, over the second quarter of 2015. This increase is largely attributable to changes in product mix, price points in new markets, and a favorable pricing environment.
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues for the second quarter of 2016 was 26.5% as compared to 26.8% for the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues for the second quarter of 2016 was 27.8% as compared to 28.2% for the second quarter of 2015. The decreases year over year reflect a combination of increased construction costs and lot costs partially offset by higher average home sales price. Please see "Non-GAAP Measures" for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin.
Net income of $20.7 million, or $1.01 per basic share and $0.96 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016 increased $6.7 million, or 47.8%, from $14.0 million for the second quarter of 2015. This increase is primarily attributable to the 32.2% increase in homes closed, the increase in average home sales price, and operating leverage realized related to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Home closings for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 29.4% to 1,972 from 1,524 during the first six months of 2015.
Home sales revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 37.8% to $385.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 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 $195,328 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $11,919, or 6.5%, over the six months ended June 30, 2015. Consistent with our second quarter 2016 results, the increase is primarily due to changes in product mix, price points in new markets, and a favorable pricing environment.
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 26.1% as compared to 26.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 27.3% as compared to 28.1% for six months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease reflects a combination of increased construction costs and lot costs partially offset by higher average home sales price. Please see "Non-GAAP Measures" for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin.
Net income of $32.4 million, or $1.58 per basic share and $1.54 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $10.7 million, or 49.3%, from $21.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This increase is primarily attributable to the 29.4% 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.
Updated Outlook
Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release, the Company offers the following updated guidance for 2016. The Company believes it will have between 62 and 67 active selling communities at the end of 2016, close between 4,000 and 4,300 homes in 2016, and generate basic EPS between $3.20 and $3.70 per basic share during 2016. In addition, the Company believes 2016 gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues will be in the range of 25.2% and 27.2%, 2016 adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales
revenues will be in the range of 26.5% and 28.5%, and that the average home sales price in 2016 will be between $195,000 and $205,000. This outlook assumes that general economic conditions for the remainder of the year, including interest rates and mortgage availability in the second half of 2016, are similar to those in the first half of 2016, and that home sales price, construction costs, availability of land, land development costs and overall absorption rates for the second half of 2016 are consistent with the first half of 2016.

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):
