Larry Webb, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We continued to grow our diverse operating platform and further position our Company to achieve our financial and operating goals for 2015. During the quarter, we increased the portion of our business dedicated to wholly-owned projects as we doubled our wholly-owned community count and more than tripled our wholly-owned backlog value to $137 million. At the same time, our joint venture business continued to expand as we doubled the dollar value of joint venture backlog which stood at $284 million at the end of the quarter.”
Mr. Webb continued, “We are pleased with the contributions from our joint venture and fee building businesses. They continue to support our ability to leverage our capital base and overhead infrastructure as we continue to grow our wholly-owned business. In addition, to further augment our strong land pipeline, we added two unique sites located in the premier coastal master-plan of Crystal Cove.” Mr. Webb concluded, “As we move forward, we are committed to executing our operating strategy and believe we have laid the foundation for a strong finish in the second half of 2015 leading to our full year success.”
Second Quarter 2015 Operating Results
Total revenues for the 2015 second quarter were up 103% to $45.6 million, compared to $22.5 million in the prior year period. Net income attributable to the Company was $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the year earlier period. The improvement in net income was primarily due to an increase in equity in joint venture income and higher home sales and fee building revenue.
Wholly Owned Projects
Home sales revenue for the 2015 second quarter was $19.2 million, compared to $9.6 million in the prior year period and new home deliveries were 12, compared to 13 in the prior year period. The growth in home sales revenue was due to an increase in the average selling price of homes delivered from $1.6 million compared to $739,000 in the prior
1
year period. The expansion in the average selling price was due to a change in product mix to communities with higher average selling prices located in Irvine, California. The Company expects that the average selling price will continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to the mix of homes offered and the low level of wholly-owned deliveries as the Company opens new communities.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage was 10.4%, compared to 17.6%, in the prior year period. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, which excludes interest in cost of home sales, was 11.1%*, compared to 18.1%* in the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin percentage was substantially driven by the close-out of two communities in Sacramento that required higher incentives, and to a lesser extent, a higher mix of deliveries from two master-planned communities in Irvine with seller profit participation.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $5.7 million, compared to $3.4 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of home sales revenue, SG&A was 29.5% versus 35.6% in the prior year period. The improvement in the year-over-year SG&A percentage was driven by higher home sales revenue. The Company's 2015 second quarter SG&A percentage increased significantly compared to the 2015 first quarter due to the reduced new home deliveries and related revenues.
New home orders were up 74% to 40 homes, compared to 23 homes in the prior year period. The Company doubled its active selling communities to eight communities at the end of the second quarter, compared to four at the end of the prior year period. The dollar value of the Company's wholly-owned backlog at the end of the 2015 second quarter was up 245% year-over-year to $136.6 million representing 65 homes in backlog compared to 25 homes in the prior year period. The average sales price of homes in backlog at the end of the second quarter was up 33% to $2.1 million, compared to $1.6 million at the end of the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to a shift in mix to higher priced communities, including homes in Irvine and our new Orange County coastal community, Fiano.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (JVs)
The Company’s share of income from JVs for the 2015 second quarter was $3.3 million, compared to $0.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in income from JVs was primarily due to an increase in total home and land sales revenue during the 2015 second quarter and income of $1.6 million related to the step-up in basis to the Company's capital account in connection with the formation of a new JV. 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.
Total revenue of the JVs was $58.2 million and net income was $7.6 million, compared to $30.9 million and $3.0 million in the prior year period, respectively. Home sales revenue of the JVs was $42.6 million, compared to $30.9 million in the prior year period. The improvement in home sales revenue was driven largely by a 35% increase in average selling price to $947,000 primarily due to a shift in regional and product mix. Land sales revenue of the JVs for the 2015 second quarter totaled $15.6 million which consisted of lot sales from our Foster City and Cannery JVs in Northern California.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage generated by the JVs was 20.8%, compared to 21.3% in the prior year period. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage of the JVs, which excludes interest in cost of home sales, was 22.5%* compared to 22.7%*. The slight change in gross margin percentage from the prior year period was the result of a product mix shift. The gross margin percentage from JV land sales was 24.7%.
New home orders from JVs were up 23% over the prior year to 103 homes primarily due to the addition of three new selling communities. The JVs had 10 actively selling communities at the end of the 2015 second quarter, compared to seven at the end of the prior year period. The dollar value of backlog from unconsolidated JVs at the end of the 2015 second quarter was up 68% to $238.3 million, or 187 homes, compared to $142.2 million, or 141 homes, in the prior year period. The number of lots in JV backlog at the end of the 2015 second quarter was 140, which represented approximately $45.7 million in backlog value versus $0 in the year earlier period.

Fee Building Projects
Fee building revenue for the 2015 second quarter increased 105% to $26.4 million, primarily due to an increase in construction activity in the fee building communities. Fee building gross margin was $1.2 million, compared to $(0.1) million in the prior year period. The growth in fee building gross margin was largely attributable to increased fee building volume.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $36.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $16.5 million in available loan commitments and total debt outstanding of $175.2 million. The Company ended the 2015 second quarter with a net debt-to-capital ratio of 47.3%*.

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 and land sales gross margin percentage, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the non-GAAP measure adjusted homebuilding and land sales 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) | 47.3 | % | 31.9 | % | |||
(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 noncontrolling 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 noncontrolling 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. |
