Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hovnanian Enterprises filed an 8-K furnishing a press release reporting preliminary financial results for the fiscal third quarter and attaching that press release as Exhibit 99.1. The filing explains the use of several Non-GAAP Measures including homebuilding metrics that exclude land charges and interest amortized to cost of sales, and it describes Adjusted Investment as a measure intended to reflect inventory owned by the company while excluding off-balance-sheet inventory such as land banking. The company states that reconciliations for historical periods of these Non-GAAP Measures are included in the attached press release and warns that its calculations may differ from other companies, which can affect comparability.

Hovnanian Enterprises ha depositato un modulo 8-K contenente un comunicato stampa con i risultati finanziari preliminari del terzo trimestre fiscale, allegando tale comunicato come Exhibit 99.1. Il documento illustra l'impiego di varie Misure Non-GAAP, compresi indicatori del settore edilizio che escludono oneri su terreni e interessi ammortizzati nel costo delle vendite, e definisce l'Investimento Rettificato come una misura pensata per rappresentare l'inventario di proprietà dell'azienda escludendo l'inventario fuori bilancio come il land banking. La società precisa che le riconciliazioni di queste Misure Non-GAAP per periodi storici sono riportate nel comunicato allegato e avverte che i suoi metodi di calcolo possono differire da quelli di altre imprese, influenzando la comparabilità.

Insights

TL;DR The filing furnishes preliminary results and emphasizes Non-GAAP measures to clarify operating comparisons despite variability in land charges.

The company is providing supplementary metrics that strip out volatile land impairments and certain interest costs to present operating trends more clearly. Including reconciliations in the press release improves transparency for analysts who adjust models for inventory and land-charge volatility. However, the filing also cautions that these Non-GAAP calculations may not be comparable to peers, which requires analysts to map definitions carefully before using them in valuations.

TL;DR The 8-K is a routine furnished disclosure attaching an earnings press release and describing Non-GAAP methodology.

From a disclosure and compliance perspective, the company clearly identifies the press release as furnished (not filed) and documents the use and purpose of Non-GAAP Measures, including the rationale for Adjusted Investment. The explicit statement that reconciliations are provided is good practice. The caution about differing calculations signals potential comparability and governance considerations around metric standardization.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On August 21, 2025, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its preliminary financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2025. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

The attached earnings press release contains information about the following non-GAAP financial measures (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”):

  • Consolidated earnings before interest expense and income taxes (“EBIT”) and before depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and before inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net (“Adjusted EBITDA”), the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to interest incurred and EBIT before inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net (“Adjusted EBIT”), which are non-GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA is net income. Management believes EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA to be relevant and useful information as EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are standard measures commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and others to measure and benchmark the Company’s financial performance without the effects of various items the Company does not believe are characteristic of its ongoing operating performance. EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not take into account substantial costs of doing business, such as income taxes and interest expense.
  • Homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, and homebuilding gross margin percentage, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are homebuilding gross margin and homebuilding gross margin percentage, respectively. Management believes homebuilding gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, enables investors to better understand the Company’s operating performance. This measure is also useful internally, helping management to evaluate the Company’s operating results on a consolidated basis and relative to other companies in the Company’s industry. In particular, the magnitude and volatility of land charges for the Company, and for other homebuilders, have been significant and, as such, have made financial analysis of the Company’s industry more difficult. Homebuilding metrics excluding land charges, as well as interest amortized to cost of sales, and other similar presentations prepared by analysts and other companies are frequently used to assist investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies’ respective levels of impairments and levels of debt.
  • Adjusted income before income taxes, which is defined as income before income taxes excluding land-related charges and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income before income taxes. Management believes adjusted income before taxes to be relevant and useful information because it provides a better metric of the Company’s operating performance.
  • Total inventories excluding liabilities from inventory not owned, net of debt issuance costs and interest capitalized and including investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures (“Adjusted Investment”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total inventories. Management believes Adjusted Investment to be relevant and useful information because it more accurately reflects inventory owned (whether directly or through joint ventures) by the Company and excludes inventory that is off-balance sheet in nature, such as inventory subject to land banking transactions.
  • The ratio of Adjusted EBIT return on investment (“Adjusted EBIT ROI”), which is the ratio of Adjusted EBIT for the trailing twelve-months, to the average Adjusted Investment for the prior five fiscal quarters and is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of net income to total inventory. Management believes Adjusted EBIT ROI to be relevant and useful information because it is a measure of operational performance irrespective of the capital structure of the Company and as calculated, is reflective of the longer-term period required to build and sell homes in the homebuilding industry.




Reconciliations for historical periods of the Non-GAAP Measures are contained in the earnings press release. The Non-GAAP Measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, their respective most directly comparable financial measures (on a historical period, trailing twelve-month period or five-quarter average basis, as applicable) prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that are presented on the financial statements included in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, the Company’s calculations of the Non-GAAP Measures may be different than the respective calculations used by other companies, and, therefore, comparability may be affected.
