United Homes Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UHG) today
announced results for the third quarter ended September 30,
2024.
Third Quarter 2024 Operating Results
For the third quarter 2024, net loss was $7.3 million, or $0.15
per diluted share, which included change in fair value of
derivative liabilities of $7.8 million, with that change
predominantly due to changes in fair value on potential earn-out
consideration due to fluctuation in the stock price during the
measurement period, representing a non-cash item. The earnout
consideration would be paid in common shares upon reaching certain
stock price hurdles. The Company is required to record the fair
value of this earnout as derivative liabilities on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets and to record changes in fair value of
derivative liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations, in each case until UHG shares reach certain
predetermined values or expiration of the five year earnout period.
Net income for the third quarter 2023 was $150.8 million, or $2.35
per diluted share, which included change in fair value of
derivative liabilities of $149.7 million. Total Stockholders'
equity for the third quarter 2024 was $19.8 million. Adjusted book
value1, which excludes the derivative liability and goodwill, was
$87.7 million.
“We are pleased to report that growth re-accelerated at UHG in
3Q24, as a number of operational initiatives we've put in place
have begun to bear fruit. This was evidenced by a 25%
year-over-year increase in net new orders and a 30% year-over-year
increase in closings, which translated into a 35% year-over-year
increase in top-line revenues,” said Jamie Pirrello, Interim Chief
Executive Officer of United Homes Group.
Revenue, net of sales discounts, for the third quarter 2024 was
$118.6 million, compared to $87.7 million in the third quarter
2023. Home closings during the third quarter 2024 were 369 compared
to 283 in the third quarter 2023. Net new home orders during the
third quarter 2024 were 341 compared to 272 in the third quarter
2023. ASP of 369 production-built homes (which does not include
general contractor, custom, and build-to-rent homes) closed during
the third quarter 2024 was approximately $320,000, compared to
$316,000 during the third quarter 2023 for 268 production-built
homes (which does not include 15 general contractor, custom, and
build-to-rent homes), representing a 1.4% increase.
Gross profit percentage during the third quarter of 2024 was
18.9% compared to 19.8% during the third quarter 2023. Adjusted
gross profit percentage2 in the third quarter 2024 was 20.6%,
compared to 22.1% in the third quarter 2023. UHG's gross profit and
adjusted gross profit percentage decreased primarily due to the
Company continuing to offer attractive sales incentives to
homebuyers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a
percentage of revenues was 15.8% in the third quarter 2024, which
included $1.6 million of stock-based compensation and $0.7 million
of transaction-related expenses. Excluding stock-based
compensation, and transaction-related expenses, Adjusted SG&A3
for the third quarter 2024 was 13.9% of revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA4 during the third quarter 2024 was $9.0 million
compared to $8.8 million during the third quarter 2023.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Operating
Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net income was
$46.2 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, which included change in
fair value of derivative liabilities of $50.7 million, with that
change predominantly due to changes in fair value on potential
earn-out consideration due to fluctuation in the stock price during
the measurement period, representing a non-cash item. Net income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $191.7 million, or
$3.61 per diluted share, which included change in fair value of
derivative liabilities of $185.0 million.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were
$328.9 million, compared to $304.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2023. Home closings during the nine months ended
September 30, 2024 were 1,017 compared to 996 in the nine months
ended September 30, 2023. Net new orders during the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 were 1,048 compared to 1,002 in the nine
months ended September 30, 2023.
Gross profit percentage during the nine months ended September
30, 2024 was 17.7% compared to 19.1% during the nine months ended
September 30, 2023. Adjusted gross profit percentage in the nine
months ended September 30, 2024 was 20.7%, compared to 21.2% in the
nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit
percentage is primarily attributable to higher cost of sales due to
higher level of incentives and amortization from purchase price
accounting adjustments. The Company's adjusted gross profit
percentage decreased due largely to the Company continuing to offer
attractive sales incentives to homebuyers.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues was 16.8% in the
nine months ended September 30, 2024, which included $4.9 million
of stock-based compensation, $2.4 million of transaction-related
expenses, and $1.2 million related to severance costs associated
with the June 2024 workforce reduction. Excluding these stock-based
compensation, transaction-related, and severance cost expenses,
Adjusted SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was
14.2% of revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2024
was $23.9 million compared to $30.4 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2023.

About United Homes Group, Inc.
UHG is a publicly traded residential builder headquartered in
Columbia, SC. The company focuses on southeastern markets with 55
active communities in South Carolina, North Carolina and
Georgia.
UHG employs a land-light operating strategy with a focus on the
design, construction and sale of entry-level, first move-up and
second move-up single-family houses. UHG currently designs, builds
and sells detached single-family homes, and, to a lesser extent,
attached single-family homes, including duplex homes and town homes
in three major market regions in South Carolina: Midlands, Upstate,
and Coastal, and also has a presence in Georgia and North Carolina.
UHG seeks to operate its homebuilding business in high-growth
markets, with substantial in-migrations and employment growth.
Under its land-light lot operating strategy, UHG controls its
supply of finished building lots through lot option contracts with
third parties, related parties, and land bank partners, which
provide UHG with the right to purchase finished lots after they
have been developed by the applicable third party or related party.
This land-light operating strategy provides UHG with the ability to
amass a pipeline of lots without the same risks associated with
acquiring and developing raw land.
As UHG reviews potential geographic markets into which it could
expand its homebuilding business, either organically or through
strategic acquisitions, it intends to focus on selecting markets
with positive population and employment growth trends, favorable
migration patterns, attractive housing affordability, low state and
local income taxes, and desirable lifestyle and weather
characteristics.

UNITED HOMES GROUP, INC GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
(Unaudited)
Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure used by
management of the Company as a supplemental measure in evaluating
operating performance. The Company defines adjusted gross profit as
gross profit excluding the effects of capitalized interest expensed
in cost of sales, amortization included in homebuilding cost of
sales (primarily adjustments resulting from the application of
purchase accounting in connection with acquisitions), severance
expense in cost of sales, abandoned project costs, and
non-recurring remediation costs. The Company’s management believes
this information is meaningful because it separates the impact that
capitalized interest and non-recurring costs directly expensed in
cost of sales have on gross profit to provide a more specific
measurement of the Company’s gross profits. However, because
adjusted gross profit information excludes certain balances
expensed in cost of sales, which have real economic effects and
could impact the Company’s results of operations, the utility of
adjusted gross profit information as a measure of the Company’s
operating performance may be limited. Other companies may not
calculate adjusted gross profit information in the same manner that
the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted gross profit information
should be considered only as a supplement to gross profit
information as a measure of the Company’s performance.
The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross
profit to the GAAP financial measure of gross profit for each of
the periods indicated.

UNITED HOMES GROUP, INC GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
(Unaudited)
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
or EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial
measures used by management of the Company. The Company defines
EBITDA as net income before (i) capitalized interest expensed in
cost of sales, (ii) interest expensed in other (expense) income,
net, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) taxes. The
Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before stock-based
compensation expense, transaction cost expense, severance expense,
abandoned project costs, non-recurring remediation costs,
amortization included in homebuilding cost of sales (adjustments
resulting from the application of purchase accounting in connection
with acquisitions), change in fair value of derivative liabilities,
and non-recurring loss on disposal of leasehold improvements.
Management of the Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are
useful because they provide a more effective evaluation of UHG’s
operating performance and allow comparison of UHG’s results of
operations from period to period without regard to UHG’s financing
methods or capital structure or other items that impact
comparability of financial results from period to period such as
fluctuations in interest expense or effective tax rates, levels of
depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. EBITDA and adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more
meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in
accordance with GAAP. UHG’s computations of EBITDA and adjusted
EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA of other
companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and
adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income for
each of the periods indicated.

Continued
Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense, or
adjusted SG&A, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure
used by management of the Company. UHG defines adjusted SG&A as
SG&A, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation
expense, transaction cost expense, and severance expense included
in SG&A. Management of UHG believes adjusted SG&A provides
useful information to investors because it enables an alternative
assessment of the Company's operating results in a manner that is
focused on its operating performance.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted
SG&A to the GAAP financial measure of SG&A for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Adjusted book value is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure
used by management of the Company. UHG defines adjusted book value
as total stockholders' equity (book value), excluding the effect of
goodwill and derivative instruments. Management of UHG believes
adjusted book value is useful to investors because it excludes the
impact of purchase accounting and fair value adjustments on
derivative instruments which are not expected to result in economic
gain or loss.
The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted book
value to the GAAP financial measure of total stockholders' equity
for the period indicated.
