Ken Campbell, the Company's CEO commented, "Despite challenging housing market conditions, we continued to make progress with our strategy of opening new communities.  We opened 18 new communities during the quarter and expect to open another 22 communities by the middle of the year, representing a 20% increase in community count compared to last year and bringing our total community count to north of 155."  Mr. Campbell added, "While home pricing has been under pressure over the last few quarters, our gross margin has remained above 20% for the sixth consecutive quarter.  In addition, we increased the dollar value of our backlog by 54% over the 2010 fourth quarter while holding the line on our margins in backlog."  

Mr. Campbell continued, "Consistent with our land strategy, we approved the purchase of 2,000 lots totaling $122 million and purchased 1,100 lots for $87 million during the quarter.  With $620 million of cash on hand and the additional liquidity provided by our new senior unsecured revolving credit facility, we believe we have ample liquidity to navigate through the market downturn."

For the 2011 first quarter, the Company generated a net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the year earlier period.  The increase in the quarterly loss was driven primarily by an 18% decrease in home sale revenues from $174.9 million for the 2010 first quarter to $143.7 million for the 2011 first quarter and a 220 basis point decline in the Company's gross margin to 20.5%.  The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of an 18% decline in new home deliveries to 439 homes.  The 2011 first quarter also included $0.6 million of restructuring charges related to employee severance.  The Company's consolidated average home price for the 2011 first quarter was $327,000, up slightly from $326,000 for the year earlier period largely due to a mix shift, which was partially offset by slightly lower pricing and fewer California deliveries.  

Gross margin from home sales for the 2011 first quarter was 20.5% versus 22.7% for the year earlier period.  The 220 basis point decline in the 2011 first quarter gross margin from home sales was driven by lower margins in substantially all of the Company's markets due to competitive pricing pressure, a mix shift to more deliveries from lower margin projects and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in the percentage of California deliveries as compared to the 2010 first quarter.  Excluding previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales for the 2011 first quarter was 28.1%* versus 29.2%* for the 2010 first quarter.    

The Company's 2011 first quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $32.3 million compared to $32.8 million for the 2010 first quarter and included noncash stock-based compensation expenses of $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively.  The Company's 2011 first quarter SG&A expenses included approximately $0.6 million in restructuring charges related to employee severance costs incurred in connection with further adjusting the Company's workforce to align with lower sales volumes.  The Company's 2011 first quarter SG&A rate from home sales was 22.5% versus 18.7% for the 2010 first quarter.  Excluding restructuring charges, the Company's 2011 first quarter SG&A rate was 22.1%*.  The increase in the Company's SG&A rate was primarily the result of an 18% decrease in revenues from home sales and higher sales and marketing costs associated with new community openings.

Net new orders (excluding joint ventures) for the 2011 first quarter decreased 14% from the 2010 first quarter to 652 homes on a 10% increase in the number of average active selling communities from 126 to 138.  The Company's monthly sales absorption rate for the 2011 first quarter was 1.6 per community compared to 2.0 per community for the 2010 first quarter.  The Company's cancellation rate for the 2011 first quarter was 14% versus 15% for the 2010 first quarter and 23% for the 2010 fourth quarter.  The total number of sales cancellations for the 2011 first quarter was 106, of which 59 cancellations related to homes in the Company's 2011 first quarter beginning backlog and 47 related to orders generated during the quarter.  

The dollar value of homes in backlog (excluding joint ventures) decreased 24% to $211.8 million, or 627 homes, compared to $278.3 million, or 821 homes, for the 2010 first quarter.  The decrease in backlog value was driven primarily by a 14% decrease in net new orders.

The Company used $110.2 million of cash flows from operating activities for the 2011 first quarter versus generating $33.6 million of cash flows from operating activities in the 2010 first quarter.  The decline in cash flows from operations as compared to the 2010 first quarter was driven primarily by a $31.7 million decrease in homebuilding revenues, a $36.3 million increase in land purchases and a $108 million decrease attributable to the federal tax refund that was received in the 2010 first quarter.  Cash outflows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 included $87.1 million and $50.8 million, respectively, of cash land purchases.  Excluding cash land purchases and land sales, cash outflows from operating activities for the 2011 first quarter were $23.1 million* versus cash inflows of $84.0 million* in the 2010 first quarter.

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 housing inventory impairment charges and 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 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.

The table set forth below reconciles the Company's total consolidated debt to adjusted net homebuilding debt and provides the Company's total debt to book capitalization and adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization ratios.  We believe that the adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization ratio is 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 included in liabilities from inventories not owned, indebtedness of the Company's financial services subsidiary and additionally reflects the offset of cash and equivalents.
