Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019.
“We are pleased to report strong third quarter results that once again exceeded or met our expectations across our key metrics,” said Allan P. Merrill, President and CEO of Beazer Homes. “During the quarter, a continuation of wage growth, low unemployment and lower interest rates provided support for our solid sales and earnings performance. We also executed against our capital allocation priorities by repurchasing $16.6 million of debt and $10.6 million of common stock. We remain committed to full year debt reduction in excess of our share repurchases and now expect to repurchase more than $50.0 million in debt during fiscal 2019.”
“As we look ahead, our balanced growth strategy positions us to achieve higher EBITDA from a more efficient and less leveraged balance sheet. By generating higher returns, we will create enhanced value for our investors.”

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin before impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales to homebuilding gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that this information assists investors in comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective level of impairments and level of debt.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to total company net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position and level of impairments. These EBITDA measures should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.
