Ken Campbell, the Company’s CEO commented, “We are excited about our new communities coming out of the ground.  It was a bit painful last year when we slowed our growth in order to re-design our homes, but we are now pleased with the results.  Managing to open this many communities without increasing our overhead is a tribute to our team; kind of remarkable accomplishment in my opinion.  With over 20 new communities scheduled to open before year-end, we have more excitement (and more hard work) to look forward to.”
 
 
 

 
Mr. Campbell continued, “The slowdown in land buying should not be viewed as a change in strategy.  We are still pursuing a significant land pipeline, but will continue to maintain our pricing discipline in the face of a pretty poor sales environment. Hopefully, land sellers will get more reasonable on pricing, or other land buyers’ enthusiasm will wane as we muddle through this difficult market.  The current slowdown does not concern us too much since we have already committed to purchase enough land to support growth through 2012.”

Homebuilding revenues decreased 36% from $317.2 million for the 2010 second quarter to $204.3 million for the 2011 second quarter driven primarily by a 32% decline in new home deliveries to 610 homes.  The Company’s consolidated average home price for the 2011 second quarter was $335 thousand, down from $355 thousand for the year earlier period, largely due to the delivery of three luxury homes with an average selling price of approximately $6 million from one of the Company’s Southern California coastal communities during the 2010 second quarter as compared to no deliveries from this community during the 2011 second quarter.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2011 second quarter was 17.0% (20.0%* excluding $6.0 million of inventory impairment charges) versus 20.9% for the year earlier period.   The impairments related to two homebuilding projects in Northern California totaling $3.9 million and one homebuilding project in Arizona for $2.1 million.  Excluding inventory impairment charges and previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales for the 2011 second quarter was 27.9%* versus 27.5%* for the 2010 second quarter.

The Company’s 2011 second quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $38.4 million compared to $43.4 million for the 2010 second quarter and included noncash stock-based compensation expenses of $3.5 million for both periods.  The SG&A rate from home sales was 18.8% for the 2011 second quarter versus 13.7% for the 2010 second quarter.  SG&A expenses for the 2011 second quarter included approximately $2.2 million of severance and other charges incurred in connection with executive management changes ($1.0 million of which was included in noncash stock-based compensation expenses).  The Company’s G&A expenses (excluding incentive compensation, severance and management change expenses) were $22.4 million for the 2011 second quarter, compared to $22.8 million for the 2010 second quarter, and $22.4 million for the 2011 first quarter.  Excluding the charges related to executive management changes, the Company’s 2011 second quarter SG&A rate was 17.8%*.  The increase in the Company’s SG&A rate was primarily the result of a 36% decrease in revenues from home sales and higher sales and marketing costs associated with new community openings.

Net new orders (excluding joint ventures) for the 2011 second quarter increased 6% from the 2010 second quarter to 764 homes on a 20% increase in the number of average active selling communities from 127 to 153.  The Company’s monthly sales absorption rate for the 2011 second quarter was 1.7 per community compared to 1.9 per community for the 2010 second quarter and 1.6 per community for the 2011 first quarter.  The Company’s cancellation rate for the 2011 second quarter was 14%, consistent with 15% for the 2010 second quarter and 14% for the 2011 first quarter.  The total number of sales cancellations for the 2011 second quarter was 129, of which 65 cancellations related to homes in the Company’s 2011 second quarter beginning backlog and 64 related to orders generated during the quarter.

The dollar value of homes in backlog (excluding joint ventures) increased 24% to $293.8 million, or 781 homes, compared to $237.7 million, or 649 homes, for the 2010 second quarter, and increased 39% compared to $211.8 million, or 627 homes, for the 2011 first quarter.  The increase in backlog value compared to the 2010 second quarter was driven primarily by a 6% increase in net new orders and a decrease in the percentage of new homes delivered from beginning backlog in the 2011 second quarter as compared to the prior year period.

The Company used $122.0 million of cash flows from operating activities for the 2011 second quarter versus generating $5.3 million of cash flows from operating activities in the 2010 second quarter.  The decline in cash flows from operations as compared to the 2010 second quarter was driven primarily by a $112.8 million decrease in homebuilding revenues and a $12.8 million increase in land purchases.  Cash outflows from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included $92.2 million and $79.4 million, respectively, of cash land purchases.  Excluding cash land purchases and development costs, cash inflows from operating activities for the 2011 second quarter were $1.9 million* versus cash inflows of $99.0 million* in the 2010 second quarter.

During the 2011 second quarter, the Company approved (but had not yet consummated) the purchase of $98.5 million of land, comprised of 1,493 lots.  Approximately 43% of the land approvals related to land located in California and 41% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout the Company’s other operations.  During the same period, the Company purchased $92.2 million of land, comprised of 1,461 lots.  Approximately 55% of the land purchases related to land located in California and 35% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout the Company’s other operations.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Each of the below measures are non-GAAP financial measures and other companies may calculate such non-GAAP measures differently.  Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance measures prescribed by GAAP.

The table set forth below reconciles the Company's net loss to net loss excluding inventory impairment charges (net of a 39% income tax benefit), severance and other charges (net of a 39% income tax benefit), and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to these charges.  We believe this measure is useful to management and investors as it provides perspective on the underlying operating performance of the business excluding these charges and provides comparability with the Company’s peer group.  Net loss excluding inventory impairment charges (net of income tax benefit), severance and other charges (net of income tax benefit), and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to these charges for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is calculated as follows:

The table set forth below reconciles the Company's gross margin percentage from home sales to the gross margin percentage from home sales, excluding housing inventory impairment charges and interest amortized to cost of home sales.  We believe these measures are useful to management and investors as they provide perspective on the underlying operating performance of the business excluding these charges and provide comparability with the Company’s peer group.

The table set forth below calculates EBITDA and Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA.  Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA means net income (loss) (plus cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures) before (a) income taxes, (b) homebuilding interest expense (c) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales, (d) impairment charges and deposit write-offs, (e) (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt (f) homebuilding depreciation and amortization, (g) amortization of stock-based compensation, (h) income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and (i) income (loss) from financial services subsidiary.  Other companies may calculate Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently.  We believe Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA information is useful to management and investors as one measure of the Company’s ability to service debt and obtain financing.  Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by GAAP.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)

The table set forth below reconciles the Company’s total consolidated debt to adjusted net homebuilding debt and provides the Company’s total debt to book capitalization and adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization ratios.  We believe that the adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization ratio is useful to management and investors as a measure of the Company’s ability to obtain financing.  For purposes of the ratio of adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization, total adjusted book capitalization is adjusted net homebuilding debt plus stockholders’ equity.  Adjusted net homebuilding debt excludes indebtedness included in liabilities from inventories not owned, indebtedness of the Company’s financial services subsidiary and additionally reflects the offset of cash and equivalents.

The table set forth below calculates pro forma stockholders’ equity per common share.  The pro forma common shares outstanding include the if-converted Series B Preferred Stock, and excludes 3.9 million shares issued under a share lending agreement related to the Company’s 6% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.  The Company believes that the pro forma stockholders’ equity per common share information is useful to management and investors as a measure to determine the book value per common share after giving effect of the issuance of preferred shares assuming full conversion to common stock and excluding shares outstanding under the share lending agreement.
