KB HOME REPORTS 2016 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Net Orders Increase 16% to 2,508; Net Order Value Up 20% to $930 Million
LOS ANGELES (September 20, 2016) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2016.
“We are very pleased with our third quarter results, as we continued our trajectory of solid earnings performance for the year,” said Jeffrey Mezger, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our execution on our core strategies was the primary catalyst for our double-digit growth in deliveries and housing revenues, and our significantly improved operating income margin, all of which helped drive an 83% increase in earnings per share. Moving forward, we intend to maintain our balanced approach centered on expanding our revenues and operating income margin, while sharpening our focus on increasing our asset efficiency in order to generate higher returns on invested capital.”
“Housing market conditions remain healthy, with positive employment, higher household income and economic trends supporting steady consumer demand amid constrained supply,” said Mezger. “In this environment, we believe we have the strategies in place to strengthen and leverage our growth platform to expand our business and increase market share across our current geographic footprint.”
Three Months Ended August 31, 2016 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)
Total revenues of $913.3 million increased 8%, with housing revenues up 14%.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
For the Nine Months and Three Months Ended August 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.

(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.

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.
