Scott Stowell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President commented, “We are pleased that the positive momentum we experienced during the first half of 2012 continued into the third quarter.  We earned $21.7 million, with deliveries up 24%, orders up 29% and homebuilding revenues up 32% over the prior year period.  We are most pleased by the significant 64% year-over-year increase in the dollar value and number of homes in backlog to approximately $500 million, or 1,400 homes.  Our solid third quarter results reflect the execution of our strategy and improved housing market conditions during the quarter.”
  
Revenues from home sales for the 2012 third quarter increased 31%, to $317.4 million from $241.4 million, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a 24% increase in new home deliveries (excluding joint ventures) to 861 homes and a 7% increase in our consolidated average home price to $369 thousand.  The increase in new home deliveries was driven by a 62% increase in the number of homes in backlog at the beginning of the quarter as compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2012 third quarter increased to 20.2% compared to 15.8% (18.8%* excluding $7.2 million of inventory impairment charges) in the prior year period.  Excluding inventory impairment charges and previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 28.7%* for the 2012 third quarter versus 26.6%* for the 2011 third quarter.  This 210 basis point improvement was primarily attributable to a mix shift to more deliveries from higher margin communities, price increases in certain communities with higher sales absorption, and improved margins from speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter.

 
 

 
 
The Company’s 2012 third quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $43.1 million compared to $39.1 million for the prior year period, down 260 basis points as a percentage of home sale revenues to 13.6%, compared to 16.2% for the 2011 third quarter.  The improvement in the Company’s SG&A rate was primarily due to a 31% increase in revenues from home sales and the operating leverage inherent in our business.

Net new orders (excluding joint ventures) for the 2012 third quarter increased 29% from the 2011 third quarter to 989 homes.  The 29% year-over-year growth is attributable to a 32% increase in the Company’s monthly sales absorption rate, partially offset by a 2% decrease in the number of average active selling communities.    The Company’s monthly sales absorption rate for the 2012 third quarter was 2.1 per community, compared to 1.6 per community for the 2011 third quarter and 2.4 per community for the 2012 second quarter.  The 10% decrease in absorption rate from the 2012 second quarter to the 2012 third quarter is slightly better than the historical seasonality for the Company.  The Company’s cancellation rate for the 2012 third quarter was 14%, compared to 16% for the 2011 third quarter and 11% for the 2012 second quarter.

The dollar value of homes in backlog (excluding joint ventures) increased 64% to $498.7 million, or 1,394 homes, compared to $304.8 million, or 848 homes, for the 2011 third quarter, and increased 13% compared to $439.7 million, or 1,266 homes, for the 2012 second quarter.  The increase in year over year backlog value was driven primarily by a 29% increase in net new orders and a shift to more to-be-built homes.

The Company used $72.4 million of cash in operating activities for the 2012 third quarter versus $78.5 million in the 2011 third quarter.  During the 2012 third quarter, the Company spent $246.2 million on land purchases and development costs, of which $140.8 million of cash land purchases and development costs were included in cash flows used in operating activities, compared to $106.4 million for the 2011 third quarter.  Excluding land purchases and development costs, cash inflows from operating activities for the 2012 third quarter were $68.4 million* versus $27.9 million* in the 2011 third quarter.  The year over year increase in cash inflows from operating activities (excluding land purchases and development costs) was primarily due to a 31% increase in home sale revenues.

The Company purchased $206.7 million of land (3,497 homesites) during the 2012 third quarter, of which 76% (based on homesites) was located in California and 11% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout the Company’s other operations.  The Company purchased $337.3 million of land (6,259 homesites) during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, of which 47% (based on homesites) was located in California, 24% in the Carolinas, 13% in Texas and 13% in Florida, with the balance spread throughout the Company’s other operations.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company owned or controlled 30,154 homesites, of which 17,718 are owned and actively selling or under development, 6,180 are controlled or under option, and the remaining 6,256 homesites are held for future development or for sale.  The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 5.7 year supply based on the Company’s deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2012.

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 gross margin percentage from home sales to the gross margin percentage from home sales, excluding 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 reconciles the Company’s cash flows used in operations to cash inflows from operations excluding land purchases and development costs.  We believe this measure is useful to management and investors to provide perspective on underlying cash flow generation excluding swings related to the timing of land purchases and development costs.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)

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 consolidated 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 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 common shares issuable upon conversion of our outstanding 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 to the conversion of our outstanding preferred shares assuming full conversion to common stock and excluding shares outstanding under the share lending agreement.
