NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Landsea Homes Corporation (Nasdaq: LSEA) (“Landsea Homes” or the “Company”), a publicly traded residential homebuilder, announced today that the Company has established a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility with an accordion feature that permits increases in borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility up to an additional $350 million subject to certain conditions. Western Alliance Bank and BofA Securities, Inc., (Bank of America) served as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners. The Company plans to use the new facility to refinance its current outstanding debt obligations and grow its existing operations.

“Today marks an important milestone in our company’s evolution,” said John Ho, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Landsea Homes. “While we have generated significant growth over the last several years, the secured nature of our debt financing has always been a challenge for our company.

Since its inception in 2013, Landsea Homes has sought to design and build best-in-class homes and sustainable master-planned communities in some of the nation’s most desirable markets. Through organic expansion, the strategic acquisition of private homebuilders and a focus on providing the entry level housing market with homes that meet the highest standards in sustainable building, home automation and smart home technology, Landsea Homes intends to continue to gain market share and generate significant growth. In its most recent second quarter, the Company generated year-over-year revenue growth of 163% and increased its quarter-ending unit backlog by 40% as compared to last year.

“Having this unsecured revolving credit facility in place is a game changer for our company,” said Mike Forsum, President and Chief Operating Officer, Landsea Homes. “We believe this will provide us with the means to act more quickly on opportunities when they arise and compete more effectively for land deals, thanks to the lower cost of capital. We are excited to work with our new lenders and look forward to growing the relationship in the years to come.”
