Scott Stowell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "I am pleased with the results for the quarter.  Our strategic focus on growing community count in the move-up segment, our continued dedication to quality home design, and our commitment to creating a superior customer experience have all contributed to our solid 4th quarter results."  Mr. Stowell added, "While we believe the homebuilding industry will face ongoing headwinds throughout 2012, I am confident that with our focus on execution at every level of our organization we will continue to drive improved profitability despite these challenging market conditions."

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company reported net income of $15.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $21.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the year earlier period.  The 2010 fourth quarter included a $23.8 million charge related to the early extinguishment of debt and $2.4 million of asset impairment charges and deposit write-offs.

For fiscal year 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $16.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the full year 2010. The Company's adjusted net income for fiscal year 2011 was $3.2 million*, or $0.01* per diluted share, excluding $15.3 million of inventory impairment charges and deposit write-offs and $4.2 million of restructuring, severance and other charges related to management changes.  Fiscal year 2010 included $30.0 million of debt refinance charges and $2.4 million of asset impairment charges and deposit write-offs.

Homebuilding revenues increased 38% from $212.4 million for the 2010 fourth quarter to $293.2 million for the 2011 fourth quarter driven primarily by a 26% increase in new home deliveries to 782 homes.  The Company's consolidated average home price for the 2011 fourth quarter was $374 thousand, which was up 10% over the prior year.  The increase in the Company's average selling price was largely due to an increase in deliveries of luxury homes in Southern California during the 2011 fourth quarter, which includes the delivery of two homes with an average selling price of approximately $6 million from one of the Company's Southern California coastal communities.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2011 fourth quarter was 20.4% versus 22.2% for the prior year.  The 2011 fourth quarter gross margin from home sales included a $2.9 million benefit related to a reduction in the Company's warranty accrual, compared to a $2.0 million benefit recorded in the prior year quarter.  Excluding warranty accrual adjustments and $1.8 million of inventory impairment charges recorded during the prior year quarter, the adjusted gross margin from home sales for the 2011 fourth quarter was 19.4%*, versus 22.2%* for the prior year.  The 280 basis point decline in the Company's adjusted gross margin from home sales was driven primarily by lower margins in a majority of the Company's markets due to a mix shift to more deliveries from lower margin projects and a reduction in the percentage of California deliveries as compared to the prior year.  Excluding warranty accrual adjustments, inventory impairments and previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 27.5%* for the 2011 fourth quarter versus 29.2%* for the 2010 fourth quarter.    

The Company's 2011 fourth quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $44.5 million and included noncash stock-based compensation expenses of $3.1 million and restructuring charges of $0.9 million, primarily related to employee severance costs. The Company's 2011 fourth quarter SG&A rate from home sales was 15.2% (14.9%* excluding restructuring charges) versus 18.1% for the 2010 fourth quarter.  The improvement in the Company's SG&A rate was primarily due to the operating leverage inherent in our business resulting from a 39% increase in revenues from home sales. The Company's G&A expenses (excluding incentive compensation and restructuring charges) were $23.2 million for the 2011 fourth quarter, compared to $22.8 million for the 2010 fourth quarter and 2011 third quarter.  The increase in the Company's 2011 fourth quarter G&A expenses was due to an increase in insurance expense, which is primarily a variable expense based on revenues.  

Net new orders (excluding joint ventures) for the 2011 fourth quarter increased 44% from the 2010 fourth quarter to 615 homes on a 19% increase in the number of average active selling communities from 134 to 160.  The Company's monthly sales absorption rate for the 2011 fourth quarter was 1.3 per community, compared to 1.1 per community for the 2010 fourth quarter and 1.6 per community for the 2011 third quarter.  The Company's cancellation rate for the 2011 fourth quarter was 19%, compared to 23% for the 2010 fourth quarter and 16% for the 2011 third quarter.  The total number of sales cancellations for the 2011 fourth quarter was 141, of which 88 cancellations related to homes in the Company's 2011 fourth quarter beginning backlog and 53 related to orders generated during the quarter.  

The dollar value of homes in backlog (excluding joint ventures) increased 69% to $232.6 million, or 681 homes, compared to $137.4 million, or 414 homes, for the 2010 fourth quarter, and decreased 24% compared to $304.8 million, or 848 homes, for the 2011 third quarter.  The increase in year over year backlog value was driven primarily by a 44% increase in net new orders as compared to the prior period.  

The Company used $12.0 million of cash in operating activities for the 2011 fourth quarter versus $52.5 million in the 2010 fourth quarter.  Cash flows used in operating activities for the 2011 fourth quarter included $49.8 million of cash land purchases and $36.6 million of land development costs, compared to $33.6 million and $26.3 million, respectively, for the 2010 fourth quarter.  The 2010 fourth quarter also included $31.1 million of cash used in operations related to debt restructuring activities.  Excluding land purchases, development costs and debt restructuring payments incurred in the 2010 fourth quarter, cash inflows from operating activities for the 2011 fourth quarter were $74.3 million* versus  $38.5 million* in the 2010 fourth quarter.  The year over year increase in cash inflows from operating activities (excluding land purchases, development costs and debt restructuring payments) was primarily due to a 26% increase in deliveries compared to the prior year period.  

The Company purchased $49.8 million of land (684 lots) during the 2011 fourth quarter.  Approximately 41% of land purchases (based on land value) were located in California and 29% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout the Company's other operations.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company purchased $303.8 million of land (4,895 lots), of which approximately 57% (based on land value) is located in California and 18% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout the Company's other operations.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned or controlled 26,444 lots, of which 13,584 owned lots are actively selling or under development.  The lots owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 5.4 year supply based on the Company's deliveries for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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 net income (loss) to net income excluding inventory impairment charges and deposit write-offs (net of a 39% income tax benefit), restructuring, severance and other charges related to management changes (net of a 39% income tax benefit), and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to these charges.  We believe this measure is useful to management and investors as it provides perspective on the underlying operating performance of the business excluding these charges and provides comparability with the Company's peer group.  Net income excluding inventory impairment charges and deposit write-offs (net of income tax benefit), restructuring, severance and other charges (net of income tax benefit), and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to these charges for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 is calculated as follows:

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, warranty accrual adjustments 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.
