“2015 was a great year for our business, characterized by positive momentum, discipline, and transformation,” stated Dustin Bogue, President and Chief Executive Officer of UCP. “We maintained strong momentum throughout the year to capitalize on improving demand in our markets resulting in home deliveries and homebuilding revenue each up in excess of 60% for the full year. Our disciplined focus on increasing our mix of traditional dirt sales and cost saving initiatives generated a 390 basis point year-over-year increase in our adjusted homebuilding gross margin for the fourth quarter, building on the sequential improvement throughout the year. We achieved this growth and improvement while reducing our G&A expense by $500,000 to $26.9 million year-over-year, which drove exceptional operating leverage on our platform. As a result we delivered record net income of $0.30 per share for the full year.”
Mr. Bogue continued, “We believe 2015 was a transformative year for our company. We met our goals to increase revenue, improve gross margin and control G&A to drive profitable results. We fully integrated and benefitted immensely from our first full year of operations in the Southeast. We opened a range of well-located communities to end the year with our average active selling communities up 75% compared to the prior year. We closed 2015 with a healthy backlog, strong land inventory and efficient capital base to continue delivering improvement in our results. In all, we believe we further positioned our company as a leading home builder in our West and Southeast markets. Our scalable corporate infrastructure is now largely built out for the next chapter of our growth trajectory which we expect to result in further success as we move forward in 2016 and beyond.”
Fourth Quarter 2015 Operating Results
Net income grew to $7.6 million in the fourth quarter 2015, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million in the fourth quarter 2014. Net income attributable to shareholders of UCP was $3.2 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of UCP of $2.0 million, or a $0.25 loss per share, in the prior year period. The Company’s weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding attributable to shareholders of UCP was 8.0 million, compared to 7.9 million shares in the prior year period.

Total consolidated revenue, including homebuilding and land development revenue, increased 131.3% to $106.9 million, compared to $46.2 million in the prior year period, attributable to a near doubling of homebuilding revenue and higher land development revenue.
Revenue from homebuilding operations grew 98.1% to $88.9 million, compared to $44.9 million for the prior year period. The improvement was primarily the result of an increase in the number of homes delivered to 223 during the fourth quarter, compared to 131 homes during the prior year period. The growth in deliveries was partly due to an increase in the number of average active selling communities to 28 in the fourth quarter, compared to an average of 20 active selling communities in the prior year period. Active selling communities consist of those communities where we have more than 15 homes remaining to deliver. The average selling price for home sales was approximately $399,000, compared to approximately $343,000 during the prior year period. The increase in average selling price was primarily a result of geographic mix. Revenue from land development was $18.0 million, compared to no land sales in the prior year period.
Consolidated gross margin percentage was 19.6%, compared to 15.6% in the prior year period. Homebuilding gross margin percentage was 18.0%, compared to 15.6% in the prior year period. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 21.2%, compared to 17.3% in the prior year period, due to a shift in product mix of the homes sold, along with ongoing cost initiatives. Adjusted land development gross margin percentage was 29.0% in the fourth quarter 2015.
Sales and marketing expense was $5.7 million, compared to $3.9 million in the same prior year period, due to the increase in homes delivered and the number of active selling communities being marketed. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was 5.3% in the fourth quarter, compared to 8.5% in the prior year period, primarily as a result of a lower transaction cost per home and higher revenue from land development.
General and administrative expense was $7.6 million, compared to $7.5 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expense was 7.1% for the fourth quarter, compared to 16.2% for the prior year period, driven by higher revenue.
3
Net new home orders in the quarter increased 19.5% to 184 from 154 in the prior year period, primarily as the result of an increase in average active selling communities. Unit backlog at the end of the quarter was 249, compared to 91 at the end of prior year period and backlog on a dollar basis increased to $108.8 million, compared to $32.5 million at the end of prior year period.
Total lots owned and controlled were 5,878, compared to 6,368 at December 31, 2014. The Company continues to actively pursue opportunities to acquire land in desirable and high growth areas in its attractive markets.

* Percentages may not add due to rounding.
(1) | Adjusted gross margin, adjusted homebuilding gross margin and adjusted land development gross margin are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. These metrics have been adjusted to add back capitalized interest, and 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. 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.

Ratio of net debt-to-capital (1) | 37.9 | % | 33.9 | % | |||
(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, including restricted cash balance requirements) by the sum of net debt plus stockholders’ and 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. The Company’s calculation of net debt-to-capital ratio might not be comparable with other issuers or issuers in other industries. |
