“The third quarter marked another quarter of progress as we position our business to execute our strategic growth objectives for 2014, and more importantly, 2015 and beyond,” stated Larry Webb, Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, our new and existing communities increased backlog significantly, reflecting our efforts to acquire well-located land, design unique floor plans and construct high quality homes in some of California’s most attractive markets. While the direction of our overall operation is positive, our results continue to be impacted by near-term timing factors
1
and shifting market dynamics. That said, we enter the final quarter of the year with a backlog of $91.1 million for owned communities and $189.1 million for unconsolidated joint venture communities. This backlog will allow us to increase revenues and improve profitability as we move into the fourth quarter and 2015."
Third quarter 2014 operating results
Total revenues for the third quarter 2014 were $28.6 million, compared to $21.2 million in the prior year period. The net loss attributable to the Company for the third quarter 2014 was $1.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The change in net (loss) income was primarily due to a decrease in equity in net income from JVs, along with an increase in SG&A as a result of increased personnel costs to support our increase in community count and overall growth and costs associated with becoming a public company.
Wholly Owned Communities
Home sales revenue for the third quarter 2014 was $8.2 million, compared to $11.5 million in the prior year period. New home deliveries were 10 for the third quarter 2014, compared to 25 in the prior year period. The decrease in new home deliveries was primarily due to the closeout of one community in Sacramento, California. The average selling price of homes delivered was approximately $820,000 compared to $461,000 in the prior year period. The increase in average selling price was primarily due to a change in product mix to a community with a higher average sales price. The Company expects the average selling price to vary from quarter-to-quarter due to the mix of product offered and the introduction of new communities.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the third quarter 2014 was 15.6%, compared to 17.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage*, which excludes interest in cost of home sales, decreased to 16.4% from 18.4% in the prior year period, which was attributable to a higher cost of homes delivered at our Sacramento communities. SG&A expense for the third quarter 2014 was $4.1 million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period. As a percent of home sales revenue, SG&A was 50.2% for the third quarter 2014, compared to 20.7% in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A was a result of an increase in stock-based compensation, professional fees
2
and other costs associated with being a publicly traded company and increased activity related to the Company’s communities.
New home orders were 27 in the third quarter 2014 from 4.0 average selling communities, compared to 22 homes in the prior year period from 2.8 average selling communities. The Company had four actively selling communities at the end of the third quarter 2014 and three at the end of the prior year period. At the end of the third quarter 2014, the number of homes in backlog was 42, representing approximately $91.1 million of backlog dollar value, compared to 32 homes at the end of the prior year period, representing approximately $20.0 million of backlog dollar value. The average selling price of homes in backlog at the end of the third quarter 2014 was $2.2 million compared to $626,000 at the end of the prior year period. The increase in average selling price of homes in backlog was primarily the result of a change in product mix, driven by the introduction of sales in higher priced communities.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (JVs)
The Company’s share of net income from JVs for the third quarter 2014 was $0.1 million, compared to $1.0 million in the prior year period. The recognition of such income is significantly impacted by both the homes delivered as well as the point in time within the JV lifecycle when the homes are delivered.
The following sets forth supplemental information about the Company’s JVs. Such information is not included in the Company’s financial data for GAAP purposes. Home sales revenue of the JVs was $35.7 million and net income was $2.4 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $39.4 million and $7.4 million in the prior year period, respectively. New home deliveries increased to 72 for the third quarter 2014, compared to 26 in the prior year period primarily due to an increase in average selling communities. The average selling price of homes delivered in JVs was $496,000 compared to $1,515,000 in the prior year period due to a higher mix of new homes delivered from lower priced communities. Homebuilding gross margin percentage generated by the JVs for the third quarter 2014 was 17.9%, compared to 27.7 % in the prior year period. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage* of the JVs, which excludes interest in cost of home sales, was 19.1 %, compared to 30.2 % in the prior year period. The margins for two communities within one JV were negatively impacted by the mix of homes delivered, which included below market rate homes in one of our JVs during the quarter.
3
New home orders in JVs were 79 for the third quarter 2014, compared to 47 new homes in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in average selling communities. The JVs had 10 actively selling communities at the end of the third quarter 2014 compared to four at the end of the prior year period. At the end of the third quarter 2014, the JVs had 147 homes in backlog, representing approximately $189.1 million of backlog dollar value, compared to 91 homes at the end of the prior year period, representing approximately $93.5 million of backlog dollar value.
Fee Building Communities
Fee building revenue for the third quarter 2014 was $20.4 million, compared to $9.7 million in the prior year period. Management fees from JVs were $2.2 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in fee building revenue was due to three additional fee building agreements and the increase in management fees from unconsolidated joint ventures. Fee building gross margin for the third quarter 2014 was $1.0 million, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year period. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were negatively impacted by the composition of fee building revenue, which was dominated by construction related activity, and an increase in overhead expenses.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $59.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, $49.7 million in available loan commitments and total debt outstanding of $94.3 million. The Company ended the third quarter 2014 with a net-debt-to-capital ratio of 19.0%.*

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
In this earnings release, we utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they, and similar measures, are useful to management and investors in evaluating the company’s operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following tables reconcile homebuilding gross margin percentage, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the non-GAAP measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful, as it isolates the impact leverage has on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
(unaudited)
The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the ratio of net debt-to-capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-capital is a relevant financial measure for management and investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain financing.

Ratio of net debt-to-capital (2) | 19.0 | % | 11.3 | % | |||
(1) | The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing notes payable by the sum of total notes payable plus equity, exclusive of non-controlling interest. |
(2) | The ratio of net debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is notes payable less cash to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by total capital, exclusive of non-controlling interest. The most directly comparable 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 believe that by deducting our cash from our notes payable, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt-to-capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio net of cash provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered. Investors may also find this to be helpful when comparing our leverage to the leverage of our competitors that present similar information. See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to the ratio of debt-to-capital. |
