For the quarter, the Company reported pretax income of $6.5 million and net income of $3.0 million , or $0.08 per diluted share. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $9.1 million or $0.25 per diluted share. For the full year, pretax income was $26.7 million , and net income was $17.2 million , or $0.47 per diluted share. Reported net income for the year includes one-time pretax transaction costs of $8.5 million or $0.17 per diluted share impact. Excluding these costs, net income would have been $23.6 million or $0.64 per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $41.7 million or $1.14 per diluted share.

Management Commentary “Landsea Homes produced strong year-over-year top-line growth of 22% in the fourth quarter of 2024, driven primarily by a 41% increase in new home deliveries,” said John Ho , Landsea Homes’ Chief Executive Officer. “For the full year of 2024, total revenues came in at a record $1.6 billion , and the company closed the highest level of new home deliveries in its history at 2,831. These results were made possible by the great execution and hard work from our team members, as well as the strategic growth initiatives we’ve pursued since our company’s founding.” Mr. Ho continued, “We generated 636 net new orders during the fourth quarter, which represented a 60% increase as compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Our sales pace came in at 2.7 homes per community per month, which was a 23% improvement over the same period last year. Mortgage incentives continue to be an important selling tool with buyers, and we utilized them during the quarter to drive order activity and clear out some of the excess standing inventory at our communities. While this had a negative impact on our margins, it also resulted in better cash generation and a reduction in our spec inventory. During the quarter we generated $47.8 million in cash from our operations.” Mr. Ho concluded, “We believe we are in a strong position as we head into the spring selling season, thanks to our great community locations and our unique product portfolio. Our High-Performance Homes continue to stand out from the competition, both in terms of quality and value, and we feel this differentiation is key to winning over discerning buyers in the market for a new home. As a result, I remain optimistic about the long-term outlook for our company.” Fourth Quarter Operating Results Total revenue was a record $486.7 million , up 22% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by contributions from the Colorado division, increased deliveries in Texas as a result of the Antares acquisition, the opening of our Austin communities, and a 55% increase in home sales revenue from the Arizona division. New homes delivered increased 41% to 937 homes at an average sales price of $481,000 , compared to 664 homes at an average sales price of $572,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023. Net new home orders increased 60% to 636 homes with a dollar value of $289.8 million , an average sales price of $456,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 2.7 sales per active community. This compares to 398 homes with a dollar value of $218.9 million , an average sales price of $550,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 2.2 sales per active community in the prior year period. As a percentage of gross orders, cancellations equaled 14% compared to 13% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Total lots owned or controlled at December 31, 2024 , were 10,944, representing a 4.2 year supply based on the last twelve months’ net orders. This compares to 11,176 owned or controlled at December 31, 2023 . The company continues to pursue an asset-light strategy, controlling 56% of lots while the remaining 44% are owned. Home sales gross margin in the fourth quarter was 12.5% compared to 15.9% in the prior year period. Adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) was 18.4% compared to 20.8% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily the result of elevated mortgage rates and the higher cost of sales incentives used to close homes during the quarter. Net income attributable to Landsea Homes decreased 76% to $3.0 million compared to $12.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to Landsea Homes (a non-GAAP measure) was $9.1 million compared to $16.3 million in the prior year period. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis was $0.08 , compared to $0.33 in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income per share (a non-GAAP measure) on a fully diluted basis was $0.25 compared to $0.43 in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $38.6 million compared to $40.3 million in the prior year period. Full Year 2024 Operating Results Total revenue was a record $1.6 billion , up 28% compared to the full year 2023, primarily driven by the Arizona division producing a 40% increase in home sales revenue on a 38% increase in deliveries, coupled with the Antares acquisition in the DFW market, and the opening of Austin communities. In total, Texas delivered 414 homes and $168.9 million in revenue. New homes delivered increased 33% to a record 2,831 homes at an average sales price of $525,000 , compared to 2,123 homes at an average sales price of $551,000 for the full year 2023. Net new home orders increased 35% to 2,634 homes with a dollar value of $1.3 billion , an average sales price of $504,000 , and a monthly absorption rate of 2.8 sales per active community. This compares to 1,947 homes with a dollar value of $1.1 billion , an average sales price of $571,000 and a monthly absorption rate of 2.8 sales per active community in the prior year. The increase in new home orders was primarily from significant increases in Colorado and Texas following recent acquisitions in those segments, and a 36% and 24% increase in the Arizona and Florida segments, respectively, partially offset by a 35% decrease in the California segment due to repositioning the pipeline of communities in Northern California . Total homes in backlog at the end of 2024 was 390 homes with a dollar value of $212.4 million and an average sales price of $545,000 compared to 517 homes with a dollar value of $335.6 million and an average sales price of $649,000 at December 31, 2023 . Home sales gross margin was 14.7% compared to 17.3% in the prior year. Adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) was 20.3% compared to 22.4% in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to elevated mortgage rates and the associated increase to closing incentives across the operating segments. Net income attributable to Landsea Homes decreased 41.1% to $17.2 million compared to $29.2 million in the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to Landsea Homes (a non-GAAP measure) was $41 .7 million compared to $48.6 million in the prior year. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis was $0.47 , a 37.3% decrease compared to $0.75 in 2023. Adjusted net income per share (a non-GAAP measure) on a fully diluted basis was $1.14 compared to $1.24 in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $136.2 million compared to $112.3 million in the prior year. Balance Sheet As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had total liquidity of $241.8 million consisting of cash and cash equivalents as well as cash held in escrow of $57.2 million and $184.5 million in availability under the Company’s $455.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility.

In the following table, we calculate gross margins adjusting for interest in cost of sales, inventory impairments, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company's operating results in accordance with GAAP. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the below information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that indebtedness, impairments, and acquisitions have on our gross margins and allows for comparability to previous periods and competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in evaluating operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest expenses, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) real estate inventories impairment and abandoned project costs, (v) purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, (vi) loss on debt modification, (vii) transaction costs related to business combinations, and (viii) write-off of deferred offering costs. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest, effective tax rates, levels of depreciation and amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. Accordingly, we believe this measure is useful for comparing our core operating performance from period to period. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We believe excluding these items provides a more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. Adjusted Net Income to Landsea Homes is calculated by excluding the effects of related party interest that was pushed down by our prior parent company, purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, loss on debt modification, and real estate inventories impairment, and tax-effected using a blended statutory tax rate. Beginning in the year ended December 31, 2024 , we began adjusting for abandoned project costs as a write-off of real estate inventories similar to real estate inventories impairment. We adjusted the prior period presented to maintain comparability between the periods. We adjust for the expense of related party interest pushed down from our prior parent company as we have no obligation to repay the debt and related interest.

Net Debt to Total Capital The following table presents the ratio of debt to capital as well as the ratio of net debt to total capital which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ratio of debt to capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total debt, net of issuance costs, by total capital (sum of total debt, net of issuance costs, plus total equity). The non-GAAP ratio of net debt to total capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt, net of issuance costs, less cash, cash equivalents as well as cash held in escrow to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by total capital. The most comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. We believe the ratio of net debt to total capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We believe that by deducting our cash from our debt, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt to capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio of net debt to total capital provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered. See table below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to capital.
