Scott Stowell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "After a strong finish to 2011, we are pleased to report that the positive momentum has continued into the first quarter.  We believe our solid first quarter results reflect the execution of our strategy and suggest that there may be some stabilization in the economy and the overall housing market."  Mr. Stowell added, "We have achieved a profitable first quarter, with net new orders, new home deliveries, home sale revenues and homes in backlog up over the prior year by 43%, 46%, 53% and 55%, respectively.  In addition to these significant year-over-year improvements, I am also particularly pleased with our gross margin from home sales, which was 20.3% for the 2012 first quarter." 

Net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $8.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the year earlier period.  The 2012 first quarter included $4.1 million of income related to the settlement of a property insurance claim.

Home sale revenues for the 2012 first quarter increased 53% from $143.7 million for the 2011 first quarter to $220.3 million, driven primarily by a 46% increase in new home deliveries (excluding joint ventures) to 642 homes and a 5% increase in the Company's consolidated average home price to $343 thousand.  The increase in new home deliveries was driven primarily by a 64% increase in the number of homes in backlog at the beginning of the quarter as compared to the prior year period and a 20% increase in speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter to 259 homes, compared to 216 homes.  The increase in the Company's consolidated average home price was primarily due to general price increases and a product mix shift to move-up home deliveries.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2012 first quarter decreased slightly to 20.3% compared to 20.5% in the prior year period, driven by a reduction in the overall percentage of new home deliveries from California, which typically have higher gross margins than deliveries from the Company's other markets, and an increase in previously capitalized interest included in cost of home sales, partially offset by a decrease in sales incentives and general price increases.  Excluding previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 28.7%* for the 2012 first quarter versus 28.1%* for the 2011 first quarter.   

The Company's 2012 first quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $37.7 million compared to $32.3 million for the prior year period, down 540 basis points as a percentage of home sale revenues to 17.1%, compared to 22.5% for the 2011 first quarter.  The improvement in the Company's SG&A rate was primarily due to a 53% increase in revenues from home sales and the operating leverage inherent in our business. The Company's G&A expenses (excluding incentive and stock-based compensation and restructuring charges) were $20.9 million for the 2012 first quarter, compared to $20.0 million for the 2011 first quarter and $21.4 million for the 2011 fourth quarter.  The increase in the Company's 2012 first quarter G&A expenses (excluding incentive and stock-based compensation and restructuring charges), compared to the 2011 first quarter, was primarily due to an increase in insurance expense, which is a variable expense based on homebuilding revenues. 

Net new orders (excluding joint ventures) for the 2012 first quarter increased 43% from the 2011 first quarter to 934 homes on a 14% increase in the number of average active selling communities, from 138 to 158, reflecting the Company's progress in growing its community count and an increase in the Company's monthly sales absorption rate for the 2012 first quarter to 2.0 per community, compared to 1.6 per community for the 2011 first quarter and 1.3 per community for the 2011 fourth quarter.  The Company's cancellation rate for the 2012 first quarter was 13%, compared to 14% for the 2011 first quarter and 19% for the 2011 fourth quarter.  The total number of sales cancellations for the 2012 first quarter was 144, of which 65 cancellations related to homes in the Company's 2012 first quarter beginning backlog and 79 related to orders generated during the quarter. 

The dollar value of homes in backlog (excluding joint ventures) increased 57% to $331.9 million, or 973 homes, compared to $211.8 million, or 627 homes, for the 2011 first quarter, and increased 43% compared to $232.6 million, or 681 homes, for the 2011 fourth quarter.  The increase in year over year backlog value was driven primarily by a 43% increase in net new orders and an increase in the average home price in backlog to $341 thousand, compared to $338 thousand for the prior year period. 

The Company used $42.1 million of cash in operating activities for the 2012 first quarter versus $110.2 million in the 2011 first quarter.  Cash flows used in operating activities for the 2012 first quarter included $34.0 million of cash land purchases and $31.8 million of land development costs, compared to $87.1 million and $33.5 million, respectively, for the 2011 first quarter.  Excluding land purchases and development costs, cash inflows from operating activities for the 2012 first quarter were $23.6 million* versus $10.4 million* in the 2011 first quarter.  The year over year increase in cash inflows from operating activities (excluding land purchases and development costs) was primarily due to a 53% increase in home sale revenues, partially offset by a $17 million increase in interest payments. 

The Company purchased $34.0 million of land (524 homesites) during the 2012 first quarter.  Approximately 15% of land purchases (based on land value) were located in California and 60% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout the Company's other operations.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned or controlled 26,117 homesites, of which 13,370 owned homesites are actively selling or under development.  The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 4.9 year supply based on the Company's deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2012.

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 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 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 of the Company's financial services subsidiary and additionally reflects the offset of cash and equivalents.

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 calculates pro forma stockholders' equity per common share.  The pro forma common shares outstanding include the if-converted Series B Preferred Stock, and excludes 3.9 million shares issued under a share lending agreement related to the Company's 6% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.  The Company believes that the pro forma stockholders' equity per common share information is useful to management and investors as a measure to determine the book value per common share after giving effect of the issuance of preferred shares assuming full conversion to common stock and excluding shares outstanding under the share lending agreement.
