Patrick Zalupski, Dream Finders Homes Chairman and CEO, said, “I’m proud of what we accomplished in the quarter. Our team’s strengths and our focus on delivering a quality product drove superior growth and returns in this challenging environment. Our strategic footprint and disciplined land acquisition strategy have positioned us to capitalize on market demand. Price appreciation in our homes sold has flowed through to our margins, which are outpacing the industry-wide headwinds we are facing in the supply chain.
Our operations have been impacted by numerous supply chain disruptions that - in our opinion - ultimately stemmed from suppliers’ start and stop production schedules, resulting from Covid-19. The homebuilding industry is resilient, and our suppliers and trade partners are working hard to address these issues. In response to the extended supply chain cycle times, we have taken steps throughout our communities to moderate sales to maintain the quality of our homes and maximize returns. We also believe that the recent relief in lumber prices will help keep costs down and allow builders to provide more affordability to customers. The best managers will find a way to work through different market environments. Our team is working relentlessly to find innovative ways to deliver homes more efficiently, resulting in growth and margin accretion.
Dream Finders Homes has the culture, tenacity and skills to navigate the current dynamics facing homebuilders and we maintain our unwavering focus on delivering a great product to our customers while maintaining market leading returns on shareholder equity. We remain focused on delivering a material portion of our record backlog in the second half of this year.”
Second Quarter 2021 Results
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded
Full Year 2021 Outlook
Dream Finders Homes delivered a strong second quarter and remains focused on providing an affordable product for its entry-level and first-time move-up homebuyers. The Company recognizes the difficulties encountered in labor and materials constraints, as well as changing consumer dynamics created by the current environment. Management is determined to serve its customers by innovating ways to deliver homes and rapidly adapting to demand changes. Based on the Company’s backlog and average sales price per home closed, the low interest rate environment, and persistent relocation patterns into its core markets, the Company is well positioned to achieve its expected growth in 2021 and maintains its guidance of 5,000 to 6,000 home closings for the full year 2021. In addition, the Company expects an increase in the average sales price of homes closed in future quarters, as the average sales price in backlog as of June 30, 2021 was
This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including interest rates and mortgage availability, in the remainder of 2021 remain similar to those experienced in the first half 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 can 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 the Company’s ability to achieve this number of home closings in 2021.
