HOVNANIAN ENTERPRISES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2010 RESULTS

 

RED BANK, NJ, March 2, 2010 – Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV), a leading national homebuilder, reported results for its first quarter ended January 31, 2010.

 

RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 2010:

 

Total revenues were $319.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 2010 compared with $373.8 million in the same quarter a year ago.

 

Homebuilding gross margin, before interest expense included in cost of sales, increased for the fifth consecutive quarter to 16.0% for the first quarter of 2010, compared to 5.7% in the fiscal 2009 first quarter and 13.2% in the 2009 fourth quarter.

 

For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the after-tax net income was $236.2 million, or $2.97 per fully diluted common share, compared with a net loss of $178.4 million, or $2.29 per common share, in the first quarter of the previous year. As a result of tax legislation changes, the after-tax net income included a federal income tax benefit of $291.3 million.

 

Pre-tax land-related charges for the first quarter ended January 31, 2010 were $5.0 million, including land impairments of $3.3 million and write-offs of predevelopment costs and land deposits of $1.7 million compared to $132.0 million of pre-tax land-related charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

Net contracts per active selling community increased 31% to 5.1 net contracts per active selling community in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from 3.9 in last year’s first quarter. However, primarily due to a 27% decrease in active selling communities, the number of net contracts for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures, decreased 5% to 912 homes compared with the same quarter a year ago.

 

Deliveries, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures, were 1,091 homes for the quarter ended January 31, 2010, a 10% decrease from 1,208 homes in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

The contract cancellation rate, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was 21%, compared with the contract cancellation rate of 31% in the prior year’s first quarter. The 2010 first quarter cancellation rate of 21% represents the lowest cancellation rate since the second quarter of 2005.

 

During the first quarter, the tax asset valuation allowance decreased from $987.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2009 to $706.1 million as of January 31, 2010, primarily due to the

recognition of the net operating loss carryback benefit resulting from the tax law change in November 2009. The valuation allowance is a non-cash reserve against the tax assets for GAAP purposes. For tax purposes, the tax deductions associated with the tax assets may be carried forward for 20 years from the date the deductions were incurred.

 

CASH AND INVENTORY AS OF JANUARY 31, 2010:

 

At January 31, 2010, homebuilding cash was $449.6 million, including restricted cash required to collateralize letters of credit. This cash position does not include the $274.1 million federal income tax refund that was received early in the second quarter or an additional federal income tax refund for approximately $17.2 million expected to be received later in the year.

 

Cash flow during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was negative $74.7 million. During the quarter, $77.1 million of cash was spent on land purchases and $22.3 million of cash was used to retire debt.

 

As of January 31, 2010, the consolidated land position was 28,433 lots, consisting of 10,952 lots under option and 17,481 owned lots.

 

The owned lot position increased by approximately 1,000 lots from the end of the fourth quarter of 2009 to the end of the first quarter of 2010, through the delivery of 1,100 homes and the purchase of 2,100 lots. The optioned lot position decreased by approximately 400 lots over the same period of time, as a result of walking away from 300 lots, purchasing 1,500 lots that were previously optioned and signing options for an additional 1,400 lots.

 

Recently identified land deals accounted for approximately 1,550 of the lots purchased during the first quarter of 2010, including approximately 650 lots previously controlled under a rolling option agreement that were purchased in bulk at a 68% discount to the option price.

 

Started unsold homes, excluding models, declined 37%, to 725 at January 31, 2010 compared to 1,142 at the end of last year’s first quarter.

 

OTHER KEY OPERATING DATA:

 

Contract backlog, as of January 31, 2010, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures, was 1,593 homes with a sales value of $505.4 million, a decrease of 4% and 5%, respectively, compared to January 31, 2009.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, home deliveries through unconsolidated joint ventures were 38 homes, compared with 75 homes in the first quarter of the previous year.

 

COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:

 

“The first quarter saw the typical seasonal home buying patterns that we would expect,” commented Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Traffic and net contracts dropped off around the Thanksgiving holiday, and we began to see a pickup in traffic and net contracts during the last half of January and into February. In the first quarter, we continued to see a couple of positive year-over-year comparisons, including an increase in gross margins and an increase in net contracts per active selling community.”

“We are pleased to see the market for new land deals begin to thaw out a bit and we continue to diligently pursue new land opportunities where we can make normalized returns based on today’s home prices and sales absorption levels. Adhering to sound land underwriting assumptions will reduce risk and prove beneficial to our future financial performance,” Mr. Hovnanian continued.

 

“We opened ten communities during the first quarter,” stated J. Larry Sorsby, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “After nine consecutive quarters of decline, our community count stabilized on a sequential basis at 179 communities at the end of the first quarter, which was the same as the community count at the end of our fiscal year. As we take steps to return the Company to profitability, we must acquire additional new land parcels so that we can start growing our community count, which will boost revenues and drive greater operating efficiencies,” said Mr. Sorsby.

 

“It is encouraging that we have been able to continue to report improving margins and year-over-year increases in sales absorption rates. Although we remain cautiously optimistic, several headwinds such as persistently high unemployment levels, the expiration of the federal homebuyers tax credit and the threat of more foreclosures continue to hinder a sustainable recovery in the housing market,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.

net income (loss). The reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.

 

Cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net Cash provided by (or used in) Operating Activities. The Company uses cash flow to mean the amount of Net Cash provided by (or used in) Operating Activities for the period, as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, excluding changes in mortgage notes receivable at the mortgage company, plus (or minus) the amount of Net Cash provided by (or used in) Investing Activities. For the first quarter of 2010, cash flow was negative $74.7 million, which was derived from $51.3 million from net cash used in operating activities less the change in mortgage notes receivable of $23.0 million less $0.4 million of net cash used in investing activities.

 

Loss Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges, Intangible Impairments and Gain on Extinguishment of Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Loss Before Income Taxes. The reconciliation of Loss Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges, Intangible Impairments and Gain on Extinguishment of Debt to Loss Before Income Taxes is presented in a table attached to this earnings release.

(1) Includes expenses related to canceled stock options of $12.3 million for the three months ended January 31, 2009.

(2) Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, our assets that qualify for interest capitalization (inventory under development) no longer exceed our debt and therefore the portion of interest not covered by qualifying assets must be directly expensed. As our inventory balances have continued to decrease, the amount of interest required to be directly expensed has increased.
