Scott Stowell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “The strong operating performance we achieved during the last two years has continued into the first quarter, with pretax income, backlog value, home sale revenues and new order value up 74%, 39%, 26% and 16%, respectively.”  Mr. Stowell added, “In addition to these solid results, I am particularly pleased with our operating margin from home sales, which was 13.4% for the 2014 first quarter, a 550 basis point improvement from the prior year.”
 
Revenues from home sales for the 2014 first quarter increased 26%, to $446.9 million, as compared to the prior year period, resulting primarily from a 20% increase in the Company’s consolidated average home price to $449 thousand and a 5% increase in new home deliveries.  The increase in average home price was primarily attributable to general price increases within a majority of the Company’s markets, a shift to more move-up product and a decrease in the use of sales incentives.  The increase in new home deliveries was driven by a 10% year-over-year increase in the number of homes in beginning backlog expected to close during the quarter.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2014 first quarter increased to 26.6% compared to 21.0% in the prior year period.  The 560 basis point year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to price increases and a decrease in the use of sales incentives.  Excluding previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 32.0%* for the 2014 first quarter versus 28.8%* for the 2013 first quarter.

While net new orders for the 2014 first quarter decreased 6% from the 2013 first quarter to 1,311 homes, the dollar value of these orders was up 16%.  The Company’s monthly sales absorption rate was 2.5 per community for the 2014 first quarter, compared to 1.7 per community for the 2013 fourth quarter. The increase in sales absorption rate from the 2013 fourth quarter to the 2014 first quarter was above the seasonality we typically experience in our business. The Company’s cancellation rate for the 2014 first quarter was 14%, compared to 21% for the 2013 fourth quarter.  Our 2014 first quarter cancellation rate was below our average historical cancellation rate of approximately 21% over the last 10 years.

 
 

 
 
The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 39% to $1.0 billion, or 2,016 homes, compared to $719.7 million, or 1,851 homes, for the 2013 first quarter, and increased 25% compared to $800.5 million, or 1,700 homes, as of the end of 2013.  The increase in year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by a 28% increase in the average selling price of the homes in backlog, reflecting the continued execution of our strategy to focus on the move-up buyer and pricing opportunities in select markets.

The Company purchased $144.7 million of land (2,190 homesites) during the 2014 first quarter, of which 34% (based on homesites) was located in Florida, 20% in Arizona, 19% in the Carolinas, 14% in California and 12% in Texas.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned or controlled 35,715 homesites, of which 23,783 are owned and actively selling or under development, 6,972 are controlled or under option, and the remaining 4,960 homesites are held for future development or for sale.  The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 5.1 year supply based on the Company’s deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2014.

The Company ended the quarter with $635 million of available liquidity, including $195 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and a $440 million untapped revolving credit facility. Cash used in operating activities was $117.6 million for the 2014 first quarter versus $58.5 million in the 2013 first quarter.  During the 2014 first quarter, the Company spent $224.1 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $124.4 million for the 2013 first quarter.  The Company’s homebuilding debt to book capitalization as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 54.9% and 54.4%, respectively, and adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted book capitalization was 51.7%* and 48.8%*, respectively.  In addition, the Company’s homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the LTM period ending March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 4.5x* and 6.8x*, respectively.

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 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 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.  In addition, the table set forth below calculates homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA.  We believe these ratios are 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.

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.
