PLANO, Texas, August 8, 2016 — Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or the “Company”), today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2016:
Basic net income attributable to Green Brick per common share (“EPS”) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.14, as compared to $0.12 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Basic adjusted net income attributable to Green Brick per common share (“Adjusted EPS”) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.22, as compared to $0.12 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had: pre-tax income of $11.0 million, an increase of 85.2%, compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015; gross profit of $23.6 million, an increase of 37.1%, compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015; and revenue of $98.9 million, an increase of 37.4%, compared to $72.0 million for three months ended June 30, 2015.

Builder operations revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $93.7 million, an increase of 55.3%, compared to $60.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Land development revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $5.2 million compared to $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in land development revenue is due to an increase in lot sales to Green Brick’s builders where revenue is not recognized until the house closing.

The dollar value of backlog units as of June 30, 2016 was $140.3 million, an increase of 37.1% compared to June 30, 2015. The average sales price of homes in backlog increased $45,894, or 11.2%, to $457,143 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $411,249 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Homes under construction increased 26.4% to 660 as of June 30, 2016, compared to 522 as of June 30, 2015.

Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016:
Basic EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.20, as compared to $0.25 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Basic Adjusted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.32, as compared to $0.25 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had: pre-tax income of $15.5 million, an increase of 27.7%, compared to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015; gross profit of $39.3 million, an increase of 17.5%, compared to $33.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015; and revenue of $168.9 million, an increase of 29.5%, compared to $130.4 million for six months ended June 30, 2015.

Builder operations revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $160.4 million, an increase of 45.7%, compared to $110.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Land development revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $8.5 million compared to $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in land development revenue is due to an increase in lot sales to Green Brick’s builders where revenue is not recognized until the house closing.

“Our strong $99 million revenue and 85% increase in pre-tax earnings in the second quarter were the result of Green Brick’s and our builders’ dedication, hard work and superior long term lot positions. Despite our record closings, our backlog still rose 9% from Q1 2016 and 37% from Q2 2015. Our financial results should continue to improve over the long term. Thank you for your support.”

Reclassifications:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

On July 1, 2015, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 17,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $10.00 per share and granted to the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 841,500 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments (the “Equity Offering”). On July 23, 2015, the underwriters exercised the option and purchased 444,897 additional shares. Due to the effects of the Equity Offering, the weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is not indicative of the Company’s future weighted average shares outstanding.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
Any statements in this press release about Green Brick’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, prospects, financial condition, assumptions or future events or performance that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “outlook,” “strategy,” “positioned,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “projects,” “estimates” and similar expressions, as well as statements in the future tense. These statements are based on assumptions that Green Brick has made in light of its experience in the industry as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Accordingly, all such forward-looking statements involve estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in the statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are the following: general economic conditions, seasonality, cyclicality and competition in the homebuilding industry; demand for real estate investments in the geographic markets in which we operate; significant inflation or deflation; labor and raw material shortages; the failure to recruit, retain and develop highly skilled and competent employees; an inability to acquire land suitable for residential homebuilding at reasonable prices; an inability to develop and sell communities successfully or within expected timeframes; risks related to regulatory approvals and government regulation; the interpretation of or changes to tax, labor and environmental laws and regulations; volatility of mortgage interest rates; the unavailability of mortgage financing; the occurrence of severe weather or natural disasters; risks related to future growth through strategic investments, joint ventures, partnerships and/or acquisitions; the inability to obtain suitable bonding for the development of housing projects; difficulty in obtaining sufficient capital; the occurrence of a major health and safety incident; poor relations with the residents of our communities; information technology failures and data security breaches; product liability claims, litigation and warranty claims; our debt and related service obligations; required accounting changes; an inability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; and other risks and uncertainties inherent in our business. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated are discussed in the “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by Green Brick, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this press release, and Green Brick undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after such date.
