M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MDC) today reported a net loss for the 2011 fourth quarter of $18.8 million, or $0.40 per share, including pretax charges of $20.2 million related to the extinguishment of debt and $2.7 million related to asset impairments and project abandonment charges. In the 2010 fourth quarter, our net loss was $30.0 million, or $0.65 per share, including pretax charges of $19.2 million related to asset impairments and project abandonment charges. Revenue for the 2011 fourth quarter decreased 5% to $247.4 million, compared with $259.6 million a year ago.
Management Comments
Larry A. Mizel, MDC’s chairman and chief executive officer, stated, “In the fourth quarter of 2011, excluding debt extinguishment and land-related charges, we achieved profitability, thereby providing strong evidence of the meaningful progress we have made in implementing Company initiatives over the past few quarters.”

Mizel continued, “Our efforts to reduce overhead continued in the fourth quarter, allowing us to decrease general and administrative expense by 33% year-over-year. In addition, since the second quarter of 2011, when we announced a change to our strategy on starting unsold homes, our home gross margins have improved 200 basis points. Also, we completed our previously announced plan to reduce our debt by $500 million, which decreased the Company’s annualized interest incurred going forward by $30 million. We believe that the actions we have taken so far will continue to positively impact our operating results going forward as we aggressively pursue our goal of returning to full-year profitability in 2012.”
Mizel concluded, “To start 2012, we implemented changes to our sales process and product offering across our Company. At the same time, January 2012 orders increased approximately 30% from January 2011. We cannot be certain that the improvement in net orders is attributable to our recent actions, or that the improvement will be sustained in future months. Nonetheless, we are encouraged by this data point and other increasingly positive signs for the health of the housing market overall and for our individual markets, which lead us to believe that our industry has stabilized and may begin to recover in 2012.”
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Home closings in the 2011 fourth quarter were 792 units, with an average selling price of $291,300, compared with 865 units, with an average selling price of $291,700, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Our ratio of closings to beginning backlog decreased to 60% for the 2011 fourth quarter, compared with 73% in the 2010 fourth quarter. The decrease is attributable to a year-over-year decrease in the percentage of backlog under construction at the beginning of the quarter, consistent with our change in strategy on starting unsold homes.
Home gross margins in the 2011 fourth quarter were 15.0% as compared with 17.0% in the 2010 fourth quarter. Adjusted home gross margins (excluding warranty adjustments and interest) were 16.8% in the 2011 fourth quarter, up from 16.5% in the 2010 fourth quarter.
Marketing costs were $9.1 million in the 2011 fourth quarter, compared with $11.6 million in the 2010 fourth quarter, primarily due to a decrease in product advertising costs. Commission costs were $8.2 million, as compared with $9.4 million in the same quarter last year, inline with the decrease in revenue we experienced.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $28.7 million for the 2011 fourth quarter, compared with $42.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The primary driver behind the decrease was a $10.3 million decline in compensation-related expenses.
During the 2011 fourth quarter, asset impairments totaled $0.8 million, compared with $17.9 million in the same quarter last year. We also incurred $1.8 million of expense related to write-offs of land option deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with lot option contracts that we elected not to exercise during the 2011 fourth quarter, compared with $1.3 million during the 2010 fourth quarter.

Net orders for the 2011 fourth quarter increased slightly to 523 homes with an estimated sales value of $153 million, compared with net orders for 519 homes with an estimated sales value of $150 million during the same period in 2010.
We ended the 2011 fourth quarter with 1,043 homes under contract with an estimated sales value of $330 million, compared with a backlog of 842 homes with an estimated sales value of $269 million at December 31, 2010. Our estimated home gross margin in backlog at the end of the fourth quarter increased from the estimated home gross margin in backlog to start the quarter.
