The $8.9 million of net income in our first full year as a public company along with $14.9 million of Adjusted EBITDA were significant steps forward in validating our distinct business plan that is focused on monetizing our real estate assets at the most opportune time during the development cycle. The flexibility provided in our approach is unique to the industry and we believe will continue to lead to increased shareholder value. Our strong cash position and significant investment in real estate assets have positioned us for a substantial year in 2022 with expected continued financial growth in the years ahead.”
Results for the Fourth Quarter 2021
Net sales for the fourth quarter 2021 increased by 8.3% to $26.3 million, compared to net sales of $24.3 million for the fourth quarter 2020. This increase was largely due to increases in sales of developed lots of $6.5 million, fee build of $2.6 million, and entitled land sales of $0.9 million, offset by a decrease in home sales of $7.9 million.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter 2021 increased to $10.9 million compared to $0.4 million for the fourth quarter 2020. Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2021 improved to 41.2%, compared to 1.5% for the fourth quarter 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the sale of entitled land with a margin of 72.6% and the sale of developed lots with a 49.3% margin.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter 2021 were $3.5 million compared to $1.7 million for the fourth quarter 2020. This expected increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to increases associated with the continued investment in our public company infrastructure and personnel to support our future growth plans, insurance expense, investor relations, marketing, professional fees, loan commitment fees, and depreciation expense.
For the fourth quarter 2021, net income was $5.6 million, or $0.26 basic EPS, compared to net loss of $(1.9) million, or $(0.34) loss per share, for the fourth quarter 2020.
EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2021 increased 510.9% to $8.0 million compared to EBITDA of $1.3 million for the fourth quarter 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of stock compensation and other non-recurring costs, for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by 485.6% to $8.3 million compared to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. For the fourth quarter of 2021, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 31.5% compared to 5.8% for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Results for the Full Year Ended December 31, 2021
Net sales for the full year of 2021 increased by 43.6% to $72.4 million, compared to net sales of $50.4 million for the full year of 2020. This increase was largely due to increases in sales of entitled land of $20.6 million, sales of developed lots of $14.3 million, and fee build of $6.8 million, primarily offset by a decrease in home sales of $19.6 million.
Gross profit for the full year of 2021 increased to $21.9 million compared to $2.0 million for the full year of 2020. Gross margin for the full year of 2021 was 30.3% compared to 4.0% for the full year of 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the sale of entitled land with a margin of 43.3% and the sale of developed lots with a 40.8% margin.
Operating expenses for the full year of 2021 were $11.2 million compared to $5.5 million for the full year of 2020. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in the continued investment in public company infrastructure and personnel to support our future growth plans, insurance expense, investor relations, marketing, professional fees, depreciation expense, loan commitment fees, and stock compensation expense.
For the full year of 2021, net income was $8.9 million, or $0.43 basic EPS, compared to net loss of $(3.8) million, or $(0.84) loss per share, for the full year of 2020.
EBITDA for the full year 2021 increased 2,319.3% to $14.2 million compared to EBITDA of $0.6 million for the full year 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of stock compensation and other non-recurring costs, for the full year of 2021 increased by 1,880.3% to $14.9 million compared to $0.8 million for the full year of 2020. For the full year of 2021, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales increased to 20.6% compared to 1.5% for the full year of 2020.
Unrestricted Cash at December 31, 2021 increased 969.4% to $25.6 million compared to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2020.
Real Estate assets at December 31, 2021 increased 499.6% to $122.1 million compared to $20.4 million as of December 31, 2020.
President and CEO, Sterling Griffin, continued, “Looking ahead, we believe that the strength in the residential and multi-family housing markets and underlying fundamentals will continue. The flexibility of our unique business model allows us to focus on maintaining a strong cash position while growing our market share and enhancing the long-term value for our shareholders.”
Full Year 2022 Outlook Estimate
Due to continued strength in the residential and multi-family housing markets and the momentum from our fourth quarter performance, we reiterate our previously announced 2022 revenue guidance of approximately $160 million. We anticipate generating approximately $20 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2022.
Reconciliation of the forward-looking full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA estimate to net income is not being provided as we do not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation. Our management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on our reported net income and reported effective tax rate because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and highly variable.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to, but are not limited to, expectations of future operating results and financial performance, including GAAP and non-GAAP guidance for the year ending December 31, 2022, the calculation of certain of our key financial and operating metrics and expectations regarding sales of inventory, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate, “predict,” “target,” “project,” “intend,” “potential,” “would,” “continue,” “ongoing,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology that concerns our expectations, strategy, priorities, plans, or intentions. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved, if at all. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including without limitation complications due to COVID-19 which could cause delays in dates of completion or closings, changes in the real estate industry such as increases in mortgage interest rates which could dampen residential home purchases, and those risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thus, actual results could be materially different. This document includes statements of summarized financial projections. There will be differences between the projected and actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected and those differences may be material.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the financial information contained herein include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, (GAAP), and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. We have provided definitions for these non-GAAP financial measures and tables in the schedules hereto to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide valuable information regarding our earnings and business trends by excluding specific items that we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our businesses, providing a useful way for investors to make a comparison of our performance over time and against other companies in our industry.
We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our GAAP financial measures and believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information regarding our operating performance and cash flows. Our management and board of directors also use these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to evaluate our businesses and the performance of management, including the determination of performance-based compensation, make operating and strategic decisions, and allocate financial resources. We believe that these non-GAAP measures also provide meaningful information for investors and securities analysts to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
