RED BANK, N.J., Sept. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV), a leading national homebuilder, reported results for its fiscal third quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2016.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE:

COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:

“During our third quarter we made progress towards our goal of improving our profitability by increasing our revenues 33%, growing Adjusted EBITDA by 75%, improving our Adjusted EBITDA coverage to 1.40x from 0.77x, and achieving a pretax profit,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “However, we are fully aware that there is even more work to do in order to return the company to higher levels of sustainable profits. We are anticipating a solid fourth quarter with income before income taxes, excluding land related charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and other non-recurring items such as legal settlements, expected to be between $32 million and $42 million.”

“After paying off $320 million of debt since October 15, 2015, we ended the third quarter with $187.7 million of liquidity. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we issued $150 million of new debt to refinance debt maturing in 2017. Completing this debt transaction increases our liquidity and allows us to continue land investments that will help return us to higher levels of profitability in the future,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:

Consolidated earnings before interest expense and income taxes (“EBIT”) and before depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and before inventory impairment loss and land option write-offs (“Adjusted EBITDA”) are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net loss. The reconciliation for historical periods of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.

Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes. The reconciliation for historical periods of Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges to Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.

With respect to our expectations under “Financial Guidance” and “Comments from Management” above, for Adjusted EBITDA and income before income taxes excluding land-related charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and other non-recurring items such as legal settlements, a reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measures is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to land-related charges excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. We expect the variability of these charges to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Total liquidity is comprised of $181.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $1.7 million of restricted cash required to collateralize letters of credit and $4.5 million of availability under the unsecured revolving credit facility as of July 31, 2016.
