  • Net new orders of 1,154, up 4%; Dollar value of net new orders up 11%
  • Backlog of 2,208 homes, up 2%; Dollar value of backlog up 17%
  • 185 average active selling communities, up 10%
  • Home sale revenues of $603.8 million, up 18%

  • 1,250 new home deliveries, up 3%
  • Gross margin from home sales of 26.3%, compared to 25.3%

  • $251.2 million of land purchases and development costs, compared to $156.3 million

Scott Stowell, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "The solid performance we achieved during the first half of 2014 continued into the third quarter, with pretax income, home sale revenues and backlog value up 31%, 18% and 17%, respectively, over the prior year period." Mr. Stowell added, "In addition, I am pleased with the growth in our operating margin from home sales, which was 14.7% for the 2014 third quarter, compared to 13.2% for the prior year period."

Revenue.  Revenues from home sales for the 2014 third quarter increased 18%, to $603.8 million, as compared to the prior year period, resulting primarily from a 15% increase in the Company's average home price to $483 thousand, the highest quarterly average home price in the Company's nearly 50 year history, and a 3% increase in new home deliveries.  The increase in average home price was primarily attributable to a shift to more move-up product and general price increases within a majority of the Company's markets.  The increase in new home deliveries compared to the prior year period was driven primarily by the increase in deliveries from the Company's Southwest region where the Company's average active selling communities grew 31%, and an 81% increase in speculative homes sold and closed during the quarter. 

Orders.  Net new orders for the 2014 third quarter were up slightly from the 2013 third quarter, to 1,154 homes, with the dollar value of these orders up 11%.  The Company's monthly sales absorption rate was 2.1 per community for the 2014 third quarter, relatively flat compared to 2.2 per community for the 2013 third quarter and 2.8 per community for the 2014 second quarter (or 2.6 per community for the 2014 second quarter excluding the backlog the Company acquired in connection with the acquisition of an Austin, Texas homebuilder in June 2014). The decrease in sales absorption rate from the 2014 second quarter to the 2014 third quarter (excluding the impact of the second quarter acquisition) was consistent with the seasonality we typically experience in our business. The Company's cancellation rate for the 2014 third quarter was 19%, compared to 20% for the 2013 third quarter and 14% for the 2014 second quarter.  Our 2014 third quarter cancellation rate remains below our average historical cancellation rate of approximately 21% over the last 10 years.    

Backlog.  The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 17% to $1.1 billion, or 2,208 homes, compared to $964.1 million, or 2,165 homes, for the 2013 third quarter, and decreased 1% compared to $1.1 billion, or 2,304 homes, for the 2014 second quarter.  The increase in year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by a 15% increase in the average selling price of the homes in backlog, reflecting the continued execution of our move-up homebuyer focused strategy and a favorable pricing environment in select markets.

Land.  During the 2014 third quarter, the Company spent $251.2 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $156.3 million for the 2013 third quarter. The Company purchased $155.7 million of land, consisting of 1,377 homesites, of which 37% (based on homesites) is located in California, 35% in Florida, 13% in the Carolinas, 8% in Colorado and 7% in Texas.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company owned or controlled 36,307 homesites, of which 23,997 were owned and actively selling or under development, 7,370 were controlled or under option, and the remaining 4,940 homesites were held for future development or for sale.  The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 5.0 year supply based on the Company's deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2014.

Liquidity.  The Company ended the quarter with $465 million of available liquidity, including $15 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and a $450 million untapped revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment may be increased to a maximum amount of $750 million, subject to the Company's future needs and the availability of additional bank capacity.  The Company's homebuilding debt to book capitalization as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 52.9% and 56.8%, respectively, and adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted book capitalization was 52.2%* and 51.1%*, respectively.  In addition, the Company's homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the LTM period ending September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 3.9x* and 5.8x*, respectively.

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 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 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.

The table set forth below calculates adjusted stockholders' equity per common share.  The Company believes that the adjusted 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 the pro forma effect to the conversion of our outstanding preferred shares assuming full conversion to common stock.

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.
