KB HOME REPORTS 2016 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Total Revenues Up 30% to $811 Million; Net Income Increases 63% to $16 Million
Net Order Value Increases 14% to $1.20 Billion
LOS ANGELES (June 21, 2016) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2016.
“We delivered a strong second quarter performance,” said Jeffrey Mezger, president and chief executive officer. “We generated considerable increases in deliveries and revenues, and posted a substantial improvement in earnings, despite charges related to our strategic decision to transition out of the Metro Washington, D.C. area. Our second quarter results reflect the success of our targeted positioning in attractive growth markets and the distinctive home-buying experience we offer to consumers.”
“We are encouraged by the continued improvement in housing market conditions across the country and by the recent increase in participation from first-time homebuyers, historically our primary customer segment,” said Mezger. “We believe we are particularly well-positioned to leverage our strength in serving the demand from this demographic with dynamic product offerings. With favorable market trends and our financial and operational progress in the first half of the year, we have positive momentum in our business heading into the remainder of 2016.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
For the Six Months and Three Months Ended May 31, 2016 and 2015
(In Thousands, Except Percentages — Unaudited)
This press release contains, and Company management’s discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin and ratio of net debt to capital, both of which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful to investors in understanding its operations and the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. However, because the adjusted housing gross profit margin and the ratio of net debt to capital are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these financial measures may not be completely comparable to other companies in the homebuilding industry and, therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, these non-GAAP financial measures should be used to supplement their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations.
Adjusted Housing Gross Profit Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s housing gross profit margin calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin:
Six Months Ended May 31, | Three Months Ended May 31, | ||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | ||||||||||||
Housing revenues | $ | 1,480,054 | $ | 1,129,762 | $ | 807,408 | $ | 604,921 | |||||||
Housing construction and land costs | (1,247,131 | ) | (953,659 | ) | (682,303 | ) | (508,276 | ) | |||||||
Housing gross profits | 232,923 | 176,103 | 125,105 | 96,645 | |||||||||||
Add: Amortization of previously capitalized interest (a) | 65,757 | 47,736 | 35,551 | 25,443 | |||||||||||
Inventory-related charges (b) | 7,563 | 984 | 6,384 | 536 | |||||||||||
Adjusted housing gross profits | $ | 306,243 | $ | 224,823 | $ | 167,040 | $ | 122,624 | |||||||
Housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues | 15.7 | % | 15.6 | % | 15.5 | % | 16.0 | % | |||||||
Adjusted housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues | 20.7 | % | 19.9 | % | 20.7 | % | 20.3 | % | |||||||
(a) | Represents the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations. |
(b) | Represents inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges associated with housing operations. |
Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing housing revenues less housing construction and land costs excluding (1) amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations and (2) housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges recorded during a given period, by housing revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is housing gross profit margin. The Company believes adjusted housing gross profit margin is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as it measures the gross profits the Company generated specifically on the homes delivered during a given period. This non-GAAP financial measure isolates the impact that the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, and housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges have on housing gross profit margins, and allows investors to make comparisons with the Company’s competitors that adjust housing gross profit margins in a similar manner. The Company also believes investors will find adjusted housing gross profit margin relevant and useful because it represents a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, and housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges. This financial measure assists management in making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix, product pricing and construction pace.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Ratio of Net Debt to Capital
The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt to capital calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s ratio of net debt to capital:
May 31, 2016 | November 30, 2015 | ||||||
Notes payable | $ | 2,632,127 | $ | 2,625,536 | |||
Stockholders’ equity | 1,635,169 | 1,690,834 | |||||
Total capital | $ | 4,267,296 | $ | 4,316,370 | |||
Ratio of debt to capital | 61.7 | % | 60.8 | % | |||
Notes payable | $ | 2,632,127 | $ | 2,625,536 | |||
Less: Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | (278,366 | ) | (568,386 | ) | |||
Net debt | 2,353,761 | 2,057,150 | |||||
Stockholders’ equity | 1,635,169 | 1,690,834 | |||||
Total capital | $ | 3,988,930 | $ | 3,747,984 | |||
Ratio of net debt to capital | 59.0 | % | 54.9 | % | |||
The ratio of net debt to capital is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, by capital (notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, plus stockholders’ equity). The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net debt to capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
