“We are very pleased with our results this quarter as we met or exceeded our guidance for deliveries, ASPs, homebuilding gross margin and SG&A leverage,” said TRI Pointe Group CEO Doug Bauer. “We generated pretax income of nearly $85 million in the quarter, representing a 63% increase over the second quarter of last year. This year-over-year increase in profits was a function of both higher revenues and better gross margins, a strong indication that our business remains on solid footing. We continue to see positive fundamentals in the overall housing market, characterized by low inventory levels, improving wage gains, employment growth and consumer demand from millennials to baby boomers. These macro fundamentals, coupled with our strong balance sheet, consistent execution and strategic focus on design and innovation have TRI Pointe Group well positioned as we head into the second half of the year.”
