Orders.  Net new orders for the 2016 fourth quarter were up 6% from the 2015 fourth quarter, to 2,848 homes, with the dollar value of these orders up 7%.  The Company's monthly sales absorption rate was 1.64 per community for the 2016 fourth quarter, up 5% compared to the 2015 fourth quarter and down 21% from the 2016 third quarter, consistent with normal seasonal patterns.  The Company's cancellation rate for the 2016 fourth quarter was 20%, down compared to 22% for the 2015 fourth quarter and up from 16% for the 2016 third quarter.

Backlog.  The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 4% to $2.7 billion, or 5,817 homes, compared to $2.6 billion, or 5,611 homes, for the 2015 fourth quarter, and decreased 20% compared to $3.3 billion, or 7,307 homes, for the 2016 third quarter.  The increase in year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by the 5% increase in the Company's monthly sales absorption rate.  As of December 31, 2016, the average gross margin of the 5,817 total homes in backlog was 20.4%.  For the 2,757 homes scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2017, the gross margin in backlog as of such date was 19.5%.


Revenue.  Revenues from home sales for the 2016 fourth quarter increased 18%, to $2.0 billion, as compared to the 2015 fourth quarter, resulting from a 14% increase in new home deliveries and a 3% increase in the Company's average home price to $450 thousand.  The increase in average home price was primarily attributable to product mix and general price increases within select markets.

Gross Margin.  The Company achieved gross margin from homes sales of 21.8% for the 2016 fourth quarter.  Our 2016 gross margin was negatively impacted by a shift in community mix, a competitive pricing environment, and an increase in direct construction costs per home.

SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2016 fourth quarter were $191.2 million, or 9.8%, as compared to $171.5 million, or 10.3%, for the 2015 fourth quarter.  This 50 basis point improvement was primarily the result of an 18% increase in home sale revenues and the operating leverage associated with the increase in revenue and the synergies gained in connection with our merger with Ryland. 

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the 2016 fourth quarter was $80.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 33%. The 2016 fourth quarter effective tax rate includes the impact of the update to the Company's state apportionment factors during the quarter which reduced the effective tax rate from 37% recognized during the first three quarters of 2016 to 36% recognized for the full year. The 2016 full year effective tax rate of 36% is consistent with the Company's expectations going forward and includes the impact of the domestic manufacturing deduction and an estimate of the homes qualifying for energy efficient home tax credits.

Land.  During the 2016 fourth quarter, the Company spent $436.0 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $398.0 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. The Company purchased $279.8 million of land, consisting of 3,518 homesites, of which 27% (based on homesites) is located in the North region, 25% in the Southeast region, 21% in the Southwest region, and 27% in the West region.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned or controlled 65,424 homesites, of which 45,699 were owned and actively selling or under development, 14,689 were controlled or under option, and the remaining 5,036 homesites were held for future development or for sale.

Liquidity.  The Company ended the quarter with $829.0 million of available liquidity, including $191.1 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and $637.9 million available to borrow under its $750 million revolving credit facility. The Company's homebuilding debt to book capitalization as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was 44.8% and 47.5%, respectively, and adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted book capitalization was 43.2%* and 46.1%*, respectively.  In addition, the Company's homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the LTM period ending December 31, 2016 and 2015 was 3.4x* and 5.4x*, respectively.

Share Repurchases.  During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 3.0 million shares of its common stock for $95.1 million or an average price of $32.10 per share.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 the Company repurchased 7.3 million shares at an average price of $32.04 and a total spend of $232.5 million.

PRO FORMA REGIONAL OPERATING DATA
On October 1, 2015, Standard Pacific Corp. completed its merger transaction with The Ryland Group, Inc., with Standard Pacific continuing as the surviving corporation and changing its name to CalAtlantic Group, Inc.  To aid analysts and other investors with year-over-year comparability for the entire merged business, we are providing the following limited pro forma information, which combines the stand-alone Standard Pacific and Ryland financial and operating data for the first nine months of the year ended December 31, 2015.  Such pro forma data was not prepared to comply with Regulation S-X of the SEC Rules and Regulations.  The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of how the Company would have performed if Ryland and Standard Pacific were combined for the first nine months of 2015 and are not necessarily indicative of the combined Company's future performance. Limited historical Ryland operating data is also presented in the tables beginning on page 15 for informational purposes.

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 adjusted gross margin percentage from home sales, excluding extraordinary purchase accounting adjustments related to the merger and interest amortized to cost of home sales.  The table set forth below also calculates adjusted operating margin percentage from home sales, excluding extraordinary purchase accounting adjustments related to the merger.  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.

Because the closing of the merger occurred after the 2015 third quarter, financial statement information for 2015 includes full year stand-alone data for predecessor Standard Pacific Corp. and three months of Ryland Group, Inc. data (from October 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015).  The table set forth below reconciles the Company's reported home sale revenues and pretax income to comparative financial measures on a combined basis for periods prior to the merger excluding merger and other one-time transaction related costs.  Certain adjustments, including those related to conforming accounting policies and adjusting acquired inventory to fair value, have not been reflected in the pro forma financial measures below due to the impracticability of estimating such impacts.  Such pro forma data was not prepared to comply with Regulation S-X of the SEC Rules and Regulations.  The following non-GAAP financial measures have been provided as we believe this data is useful to investors for purposes of assessing the Company's operating performance on a combined basis for year-over-year comparison purposes.

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 (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, including amortization of capitalized model costs, (g) amortization of stock-based compensation, (h) income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures, (i) income (loss) from financial services subsidiaries, (j) extraordinary purchase accounting adjustments and (k) merger and other one-time transaction related costs.  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 it provides perspective on the underlying performance of the business.  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.
