Larry A. Mizel, MDC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am pleased to announce a third quarter profit of $0.41 per share, our third consecutive quarterly operating profit, with net income improving by more than $50 million over the prior year. Our favorable results were largely attributable to significantly improved operating profits from our homebuilding segment, which experienced top-line growth as well as operating margin expansion. In addition, the Company’s financial services segment produced considerably better results as the Company took advantage of favorable mortgage market conditions, including increased volume and margins for its mortgage loan products.”

Mr. Mizel continued, “Looking forward, we will continue to balance our improved sales rate by increasing home prices and reducing incentives in subdivisions where demand is strong. Our efforts to date in this regard have helped us push the gross margins in our backlog higher, positioning us to increase our gross margin in the fourth quarter and into 2013. In addition, we believe our unit backlog, which ended the quarter up 52% from a year ago, will drive the revenue increases we need to improve our operating leverage in future periods.”

Mizel concluded, “At the end of the quarter, we owned nearly 9,000 lots across the country and had an additional 3,700 lots under option or in feasibility. While our overall supply of owned lots is somewhat smaller than our peers, our proportion of finished lots is much higher, and nearly all of our communities are actively selling or under development. This finished, in-production lot supply compares favorably with our peers and should allow us to drive top-line growth in 2013. Also, we have the financial strength to support future land acquisition opportunities, as evidenced by our unique net liquidity position and investment-grade balance sheet.”

Homebuilding

Home sale revenues for the 2012 third quarter increased 57% to $320.6 million compared to $204.9 million for the prior year period. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from a 47% increase in homes closed to 1,039 homes as compared to 707 in the prior year. The Company’s average selling price for homes closed was $308,600, up 6% year-over-year compared to $289,800 for the prior year period, primarily due to a mix shift in closings to more desirable communities within individual markets, coupled with increased prices and lower incentives in many of our markets.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2012 third quarter was 15.5% versus 14.8% for the year-earlier period. The 2011 third quarter benefited by $6.4 million from the settlement of a construction defect claim and the impact of project close-out adjustments, as well as from a $1.0 million benefit related to a warranty accrual reduction. These benefits were partially offset by $4.0 million in inventory impairments while the 2012 third quarter had no inventory impairments. On a sequential basis, our 2012 third quarter gross margin from home sales was up 130 basis points as compared to 14.2% for the 2012 second quarter.

The year-over-year improvement in the Company’s gross margin from home sales was driven partially by closing a significantly higher percentage of homes started with buyers under contract, which historically have been more profitable than homes started without a buyer under contract. In addition, both the year-over-year and sequential increases in the gross margin percentage were driven by price increases and a reduction of incentives in many of our communities across the country.

Our 2012 third quarter SG&A expenses fell slightly to $44.8 million, compared to $46.4 million for the 2011 third quarter. The decrease in SG&A was attributable to a $4.6 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, including reductions in salaries and other overhead costs and a $2.2 million legal recovery, partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in commission expenses attributable to our increase in home sale revenues. The decreased SG&A expenses, combined with increased revenues, resulted in better operating leverage, with SG&A expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues decreasing 860 basis points to 14.0% for the 2012 third quarter versus 22.6% for the same period in 2011.

Net new orders for the 2012 third quarter increased 69% to 1,008 homes, compared to 595 homes during the same period in 2011. The Company’s monthly sales absorption rate for the 2012 third quarter was 2.0 per community, compared to 1.1 per community for the 2011 third quarter. The Company’s cancellation rate for the 2012 third quarter was 27% versus 44% in the prior year third quarter.

The Company ended the 2012 third quarter with 1,997 homes in backlog, with an estimated sales value of $667.0 million, compared with a backlog of 1,312 homes with an estimated sales value of $405.0 million at September 30, 2011.

Financial Services

Income before taxes from our financial services operations for the 2012 third quarter was $9.3 million, compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the 2011 third quarter. The increase in pretax income primarily reflected an $8.9 million increase in our mortgage segment’s pretax results from a loss of $1.6 million in the 2011 third quarter to income of $7.3 million for the 2012 third quarter. The improvement in our mortgage profitability was driven mostly by year-over-year increases in the gains on sales of mortgage loans and the corresponding servicing rights, and higher origination income. These increases were due largely to favorable mortgage market conditions, increases in the volume of loans locked and originated, and a decrease in the level of special financing programs that we offered our homebuyers. Additionally, mortgage operations benefited from a $2.8 million decrease in the expense recognized for mortgage loan losses.
