us to grow within our existing footprint and look for strategic
opportunities in other markets that align with our strategy.”

1. The cancellation rate is the total
number of cancellations during the period divided by the total
gross new home orders during the period.
2. Backlog homes (period end) is the
number of homes in backlog from the previous period plus the number
of net new home orders generated during the current period minus
the number of homes closed during the current period.
3. A community becomes active once the
model is completed or the community has its first sale. A community
becomes inactive when it has fewer than two homes remaining to
sell.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), this
press release includes net-debt-to-net book capitalization and
adjusted net income.
Net-debt-to-net-book capitalization
Net-debt-to-net book capitalization is a supplemental measure of
our leverage that is not required by, or presented in accordance
with, GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to
debt-to-book capitalization or any other measure derived in
accordance with GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented
in accordance with our definition of net-debt-to-net book
capitalization may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed
by our competitors because not all companies and analysts calculate
this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner. We present this
non-GAAP financial measure because we consider it to be an
important supplemental measure of our leverage and believe it is
frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our
industry.
We define net-debt-to-net book capitalization as:
- Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by
- Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, plus stockholders’
equity.
This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical
tool in that it subtracts cash and cash equivalents and therefore
may imply that the Company has less debt than the most comparable
measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of this
limitation, this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered
along with other financial measures presented in accordance with
GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not
intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or
superior to, financial information prepared and presented in
accordance with GAAP. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial
measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in
the following table:

Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income or net income
margin as determined by GAAP. Adjusted net income is a supplemental
non-GAAP financial measure used by management and external users of
our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts,
investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define adjusted net
income as net income adjusted for the tax impact using a 25%
federal and state blended tax rate (assuming 100% public ownership
to adjust for the impact of taxes on earnings attributable to Smith
Douglas Holdings LLC as if Smith Douglas Holdings LLC was a
subchapter C corporation in the periods presented).
Management believes adjusted net income is useful because it
allows management to more effectively evaluate our operating
performance and comparability to industry peers who record income
tax expense on their income before tax as opposed to the income of
Smith Douglas Holdings LLC not being taxed at the entity level and,
therefore, not reflecting a charge against earnings for income tax
expense. Adjusted net income should not be considered as an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other
measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of
adjusted net income may not be comparable to adjusted net income of
other companies. We present adjusted net income because we believe
it provides useful information regarding our comparability to
peers.
The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted net
income to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the
periods indicated:

- For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our tax expenses
assumes a 25% federal and state blended tax rate (assuming 100%
public ownership to adjust for the impact of taxes on earnings
attributable to Smith Douglas Holdings LLC as if Smith Douglas
Holdings LLC was a subchapter C corporation in the periods
presented).
