“ UCP’s success during the past quarter has been the result of our team’s experience, our opportunistic land purchases during the housing downturn, and our ability to build differentiated communities and homes primarily in the robust markets of Northern California and Washington State.” stated Dustin Bogue President and Chief Executive Officer of UCP.
Mr. Bogue continued, “Despite the recent rise in interest rates, we continue to see strong traffic and new home orders in our communities due to favorable community locations and expanding demand. As we move ahead, we will continue to acquire land, open new communities and leverage our cost base through higher selling prices.”
Second quarter 2013 operating results
UCP’s net loss decreased to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2012, primarily driven by an increase in revenue that was partly offset by a lower gross margin and higher SG&A, and included approximately $0.9 million of non-recurring IPO related costs.
Total revenue was $27.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter a year ago. Homebuilding revenue for the second quarter of 2013 increased to $20.9 million from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. The Company delivered 57 homes from an average of seven communities during the second quarter, compared to six homes delivered from an average of two communities in the prior year second quarter. The average sales price of homes delivered increased 53.6% year over year to $367,000 for the second quarter, primarily attributable a higher mix of deliveries in communities with higher average selling prices. Land Development revenue was $6.8 million from 54 lots sold during the second quarter of 2013.

New home orders increased to 59 homes for the second quarter of 2013, compared to three homes in the second quarter, a year ago. The increase in orders was a result of a higher number of communities and an increase in monthly orders per community. Homes in backlog increased to 78 homes with a dollar value of $26.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013, compared to four homes with a dollar value of $1.0 million at the end of second quarter in the prior year.
The Company's homebuilding gross margin decreased to 21.2% for the second quarter compared to 26.3% for the prior year period, primarily due to increased cost of sales. Excluding capitalized interest and abandonment charges, homebuilding adjusted gross margin decreased to 22.6% for the quarter from 27.6% in the prior year quarter. Land development gross margin was 24.6% and adjusted gross margin for land development was 24.8% for the second quarter.
SG&A expense for the second quarter was $7.4 million compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter, a year ago. The difference included a $1.9 million increase in sales and marketing expenses to support a higher number of deliveries and actively selling communities. Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.9 million largely as a result of a higher headcount and the non-recurring costs related to the Company's IPO. As a percent of total revenue, SG&A expense excluding non-recurring costs was 23.5% for the second quarter 2013, compared to 182.9% for the second quarter of 2012.
During the second quarter, UCP increased its owned and controlled lots by 108 and 676, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, the Company owned 4,363 lots and controlled 1,482 lots for an aggregate of 5,845 lots. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, total lots owned and controlled, net of home and lots sales, increased by 929 lots, as compared to the year-end on December 31, 2012. The Company ended the quarter with nine actively selling communities.
The net debt to total capital ratio increased to 22.4% at June 30, 2013.

(1) | Consolidated adjusted gross margin percentage, homebuilding adjusted gross margin percentage and land development adjusted gross margin percentage are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Adjusted gross margin is defined as gross margin plus capitalized interest, impairment and abandonment charges. We use adjusted gross margin information as a supplemental measure when evaluating our operating performance. We believe this information is meaningful, because it isolates the impact that leverage and non-cash impairment and abandonment charges have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes interest expense and impairment and abandonment charges, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance is limited. |
6
In addition, other companies may not calculate gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance. The table above provides a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin numbers to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

(1) | The ratio of net debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus member's equity. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt-to-capital. We believe the ratio of net debt-to-capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We reconcile this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to the ratio of debt-to-capital in the table above. |
