FY 2016 Third Quarter Financial Highlights:

- Revenues of $1.27 billion and home building deliveries of 1,507 units rose 24% in dollars and 6% in units, compared to FY 2015’s third quarter. The average price of homes delivered was $843,000, compared to $724,000 in FY 2015’s third quarter.
- Net signed contracts of $1.45 billion and 1,748 units rose 18% in dollars and units, compared to FY 2015’s third quarter. The average price of net signed contracts was $831,000, compared to $834,000 in FY 2015’s third quarter.
- Backlog of $4.37 billion and 5,181 units rose 19% in dollars and 17% in units, compared to FY 2015’s third-quarter-end backlog. At FY 2016’s third-quarter end, the average price of homes in backlog was $844,000, compared to $829,000 at FY 2015’s third-quarter end.
- Gross margin, as a percentage of revenues, was 21.9% in FY 2016’s third quarter, compared to 19.8% in FY 2015’s third quarter. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes interest and inventory write-downs, as a percentage of revenues (“Adjusted Gross Margin”), was 25.3%, compared to 25.2% in FY 2015’s third quarter.
- SG&A, as a percentage of revenue, was 10.6%, compared to 11.3% in FY 2015’s third quarter.
- Income from operations was 11.3% of revenue, compared to 8.5% of revenue in FY 2015’s third quarter.
- Other income and Income from unconsolidated entities totaled $20.1 million, compared to $20.0 million in FY 2015’s third quarter.
- The Company ended its third quarter with 297 selling communities, compared to 299 at FY 2016’s second-quarter end, and 267 at FY 2015’s third-quarter end. The Company expects to end FY 2016 with between 305 and 315 selling communities.
- At FY 2016’s third-quarter end, the Company had approximately 48,700 lots owned and optioned, compared to approximately 45,400 one quarter earlier and 45,400 one year ago.
- The Company ended its FY 2016 third quarter with $351.9 million of cash and marketable securities, compared to $423.2 million at 2016’s second-quarter end and $404.8 million at FY 2015’s third-quarter end.
- During the third quarter of FY 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 3.7 million shares, representing approximately 2% of outstanding shares, of its common stock at an average price of $26.33 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $97.3 million. Cumulatively, since the start of FY 2016, the Company has repurchased approximately 11.4 million shares, representing approximately 7% of outstanding shares, at an average price of $28.72 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $327.6 million.
- The Company expects FY 2016 fourth quarter deliveries of between 2,025 and 2,325 units with an average price of between $815,000 and $835,000. This range results in projected full FY 2016 deliveries of between 5,900 and 6,200 units with an average delivered price of between $840,000 and $850,000. This would result in FY 2016 revenues of between $4.96 billion and $5.27 billion, up approximately 19% to 26% over FY 2015.
- Due primarily to a shift in its mix of deliveries, the Company now expects its full FY 2016 Adjusted Gross Margin to be between 25.6% and 25.8% of revenues, which is 30 basis points below the mid-point of its previous guidance.
- The Company’s full FY 2016 Other income and Income from unconsolidated entities is now expected to be between $88.5 million and $93.5 million, down from its previous guidance of $105 million to $130 million, as some of the closings of sold units in joint ventures originally projected for this fourth quarter will instead be delivered early in FY 2017.
Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., Toll Brothers’ chief executive officer, stated: “Our net income rose 58% this quarter versus one year ago, driven by a 24% increase in revenue, a 210 basis point improvement in gross margin and a 70 basis point decline in SG&A, as a percentage of revenue, compared to the third quarter of FY 2015.
“We are particularly pleased with this quarter’s 18% growth in contracts, in both dollars and units. And, through the first three weeks of August, the beginning of our fourth quarter, our non-binding reservation deposits are up 23%, compared to one year ago.
“Our strategy to be the premiere brand in luxury home building, and to provide a wide variety of product lines, price points and geographic locations, continues to pay off. In our third quarter, every region showed growth in contracts of anywhere from 9% to 29% in dollars and 7% to 36% in units. Each region contributed significantly. Of the $1.45 billion in contracts signed this quarter, the North contributed 17%, the Mid-Atlantic 17%, the South 17%, the West 19%, California 25% and City Living 5%.
“It appears that buyers in the luxury market continue to be drawn to our great brand name and nationwide reputation. This February we were #6 among global brands in the quality of our products/services offered according to Fortune Magazine’s survey of the World’s Most Admired Companies. The only companies in the world that ranked above us were Apple, Walt Disney, Amazon, Alphabet and Nordstrom.
“Given our land holdings, geographic diversity, variety of product offerings and brand name recognition, we believe we will continue to benefit from our strong position within the luxury new home market.”
Martin P. Connor, Toll Brothers’ chief financial officer, stated: “Once again, virtually every income statement metric improved this quarter compared, to a year ago, including revenues, earnings and margins. Increases in new contracts and backlog point to continuing growth in earnings.
“During the third quarter we expanded our 20-bank revolving credit facility to $1.295 billion and extended its maturity to May 2021. We also extended our $500 million bank term loan effective August 2, 2016 until August 2021. Combined, this gives us approximately $1.8 billion in capacity for variable rate borrowings, which, at the current interest rate and spread, is about 2%.
“In the third quarter, we deployed $97.3 million in cash to buy back 3.7 million shares at an average price of $26.33 per share, effectively lowering our share count in the third quarter by slightly more than 2%. This brings our spending on share buybacks in the first nine months of FY 2016 to $327.6 million for 11.4 million shares (7% of shares outstanding) at an average price of $28.72. We plan to continue to opportunistically buy back stock.
“In deploying this cash for buybacks, we did not limit our opportunities to invest in future growth. During the third quarter, we purchased 3,494 lots for an aggregate purchase price of $459.2 million and also placed 4,695 lots under option. We ended this quarter with approximately 48,700 lots owned and optioned, compared to 45,400 last quarter.
“Subject to the caveats in our Statement on Forward-Looking Information included in this release, we offer the following limited guidance.
“We expect to end FY 2016 with between 305 and 315 selling communities. In FY 2016’s fourth quarter, we expect to deliver between 2,025 and 2,325 homes at an average price of between $815,000 and $835,000. This narrows our previous guidance on deliveries for full FY 2016 to between 5,900 and 6,200 homes at an average price of between $840,000 and $850,000 per home. This would result in FY 2016 revenues of between $4.96 billion and $5.27 billion, up approximately 19% to 26% over FY 2015.
“We believe our product and geographic diversification strategy is working. While each quarter some segments may go up or down in volume or profitability, we continue to maintain solid margins. For example, the Adjusted Gross Margin on our traditional home building business, which represented 96% of this quarter’s revenues, rose to 24.7%, up 70 basis points compared to one year ago. Our City Living business, at 4% of revenue, saw its margin go from 43.2% one year ago to 39.8% this quarter, but still remains our most profitable segment. Due to a shift in mix, we now expect full FY 2016’s Adjusted Gross Margin to be between 25.6% and 25.8%.
“Our full FY 2016 Other income and Income from unconsolidated entities is now expected to be between $88.5 million and $93.5 million, compared to previous guidance of $105 to $130 million as some of the closings of sold units in joint ventures originally projected for this fourth quarter will instead be delivered early in FY 2017.
“SG&A continues to grow in dollars but decrease as a percentage of revenues, in line with expectations set for the full fiscal year and reiterated on our second-quarter earnings call. The growth in our backlog, contracts, community count and joint ventures is adding costs prior to recognition of revenue. We expect FY 2016’s fourth quarter SG&A, as a percentage of revenue, to be approximately 8.3%, which translates into full FY 2016 SG&A, as a percentage of revenue, of approximately 10.4%.”
Robert I. Toll, executive chairman, stated: “Our growth in contracts this quarter and the solid demand across most of our markets reflects our brand recognition, our product quality and our strong community locations in land-constrained markets.
“The National Association of Realtors recently reported that sales of existing homes in June rose to the strongest pace since February 2007. This would suggest that those who do own homes have been building up more equity, which would enable them to move up (for growing families), move down (for seniors buying in the active adult and empty nester markets) or acquire a second home. The solid economy and employment picture are also benefiting our target customers. These factors, combined with continuing low interest rates, a favorable supply-demand equation and limited competition in the luxury market, position us for continued growth.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
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 Gross Margin and the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio.
These two measures are non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies in the homebuilding business.
The Company’s management considers these non-GAAP financial measures as we make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance, including against other homebuilders that may use similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in understanding our operations and leverage and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other homebuilders to the extent they provide similar information.
Adjusted Gross MarginThe following table reconciles the Company’s gross margin as a percentage of revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s Adjusted Gross Margin (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as (i) gross margin plus interest recognized in cost of sales plus inventory write-downs divided by (ii) revenues.

| Adjusted gross margin | $ | 321,668 | $ | 258,575 | $ | 1,080,634 | ||||||
| Gross margin as a percentage of revenues | 21.9 | % | 19.8 | % | 21.6 | % | ||||||
| Adjusted Gross Margin | 25.3 | % | 25.2 | % | 25.9 | % | ||||||
The Company’s management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is a useful financial measure to investors because it allows them to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the often varying effects of capitalized interest costs and inventory impairments. The use of Adjusted Gross Margin also assists the Company’s management in assessing the profitability of our homebuilding operations and making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix.
Forward-looking Adjusted Gross MarginThe Company has not provided projected full year FY 2016 gross margin or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking Adjusted Gross Margin because such measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis, since inventory write-downs are based on future activity and observation and therefore cannot be projected for the full fiscal year. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our gross margin for FY 2016.
Net Debt-to-Capital RatioThe following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt to capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure). The net debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as (i) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities divided by (ii) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities plus stockholders’ equity.

Note: Certain July 31, 2015 amounts have been restated due to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." See Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
The Company’s management uses the net debt-to-capital ratio as an indicator of its overall leverage and believes it is a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
