Dream Finders Homes Delivers Third Consecutive Year of Over 100% Pre-Tax Earnings Growth After Record Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Results
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dream Finders Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ: DFH) announced record pre-tax earnings of $79.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of 101.8% over the $39.2 million earned in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in pre-tax earnings was driven by a 52.5% increase in home sales revenues and a 130 bps increase in gross margin percentage as compared to 2019. Patrick Zalupski, Dream Finders Homes Chairman and CEO, said, “2020 was a transformational year for Dream Finders Homes. Our asset-light homebuilding model allowed the Company to rapidly adjust to the ever-changing landscape brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our employees and sales agents worked together to serve the needs of our customers, driving a 96% increase in year over year net home sales. I am extremely proud of our team and the commitment they displayed during a difficult year for the global economy.” The homebuilding industry has maintained its momentum into 2021, with elevated sales per community trends continuing into the spring selling season. The Company is well positioned as relocation into its core markets persists. Housing inventory in the Company’s markets continues to be constrained primarily due to elevated sales and migration rates, especially in the entry-level and first time move-up homebuyer segments. As a result, the Company continues to focus on margin accretion and building its portfolio of controlled lots, while maintaining its asset-light homebuilding business model. Fourth Quarter 2020 Highlights Compared to Fourth Quarter 2019 Pre-tax income for the fourth quarter was $38.2 million, an increase of 133.5% when compared to the $16.4 million generated in the fourth quarter of 2019Total revenues were $461.1 million, an increase of 82.0% when compared to the $253.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019Gross margin as a percentage of homes sales revenues was 15.8%, an increase of 160 bps when compared to the fourth quarter 2019 gross margin percentage of 14.2%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher gross margins in certain of the Company’s operating segments, driven by efficiencies in build time and construction costsNet profit margin as a percentage of total revenues was 8.3%, an increase of 180 bps when compared to the fourth quarter 2019 net margin percentage of 6.5%Net new orders increased to a record 1,387 homes, an increase of 189.0% over the net new orders of 480 in the fourth quarter of 2019Home closings increased to 1,337 homes for the fourth quarter of 2020, a 78.0% increase over the 751 home closings in the fourth quarter of 2019Controlled lots at the end of 2020 were 19,276, an increase of 147.8% over the 7,779 lots controlled at the end of 2019. The Company has maintained its land light homebuilding model with 99% of future lot inventory controlled through lot option and land bank option contracts at the end of 2020Active community count at the end of 2020 was 126, an increase of 48.2% over the 85 active communities at the end of 2019Homes in backlog were 2,424 at the end of 2020 valued at $865.1 million, increases of 183.8% and 158.4%, respectively, over the 854 homes in backlog valued at $334.8 million at the end of 2019 Full Year 2020 Highlights Compared to Full Year 2019 Pre-tax income for 2020 was $79.1 million, an increase of 101.8% when compared to the $39.2 million generated in 2019Return on participating equity for 2020 was an industry leading 47.0%, a reflection of the Company’s prudent capital allocation business model, assuming a projected 25% federal and state blended tax rateTotal revenues grew to $1.1 billion, an increase of 52.3% when compared to the $744.3 million in 2019Gross margin as a percentage of homes sales revenues was 14.6%, an increase of 130 bps when compared to the 2019 gross margin percentage of 13.3%Net profit margin as a percentage of total revenues was 7.0%, an increase of 170 bps when compared to the 2019 net profit margin percentage of 5.3%. The Company’s net profit margin increased more rapidly than its gross margin as the Company begins to realize scale and efficienciesNet new orders increased to 4,186 homes, an increase of 95.7% over the 2,139 received in 2019.

The entire Century Homes Florida portfolio, including active Craft and Century Homes projects in Lake Nona’s Laureate Park, Oakley Place, Reserve at Pine Tree, Stonewood Estates Townhomes, and Wiregrass, along with their teams are part of the acquisition. Included in the acquisition, the Company received 134 homes under construction and 229 finished lots on which the Company expects to begin construction of homes during 2021 and 2022. Dream Finders Homes also acquired options for 490 lots of future inventory.

The Company has experienced consistent growth in each of the markets into which it has expanded, including a trend of increasing revenues and profitability after reaching a critical mass of operating leverage through its focus on relationships with developers, suppliers and local authorities and familiarization with local operating dynamics.

Redemption of Series C Preferred Units of Dream Finders Holdings LLC On January 27, 2021, Dream Finders Holdings LLC (“DFH LLC”), a subsidiary of the Company, redeemed all of its outstanding Series C preferred units (the “Series C Preferred Units”). The Company is the sole manager of DFH LLC and owns 100% of the voting membership interest in DFH LLC. The Series C Preferred Units were redeemed at a redemption price of $26.0 million, plus accrued preferred distributions of $0.2 million. Full Year 2021 Outlook The Company believes that the homebuilding sector will remain strong in 2021, and expects the positive demographic trends in the high growth markets in which it operates to continue. Dream Finders Homes remains focused on providing an affordable product for its entry-level and first-time move-up homebuyers. The Company believes it will have 5,000 to 6,000 home closings for the full year 2021. This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including interest rates and mortgage availability, in 2021 remain similar to those experienced so far in the first quarter of 2021, and that construction costs and overall absorption rates in the remainder of 2021 are consistent with the Company’s recent experience. In addition, this outlook assumes that the Company is able to continue to increase its portfolio of controlled lots, and that governmental regulations relating to land development, home construction and COVID-19 are similar to those currently in place. Any further COVID-19 governmental restrictions on land development, home construction or home sales could negatively impact our ability to achieve this number of home closings in 2021.
