Scott Stowell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “The positive performance we achieved during the first half of 2013 continued into the third quarter.” Mr. Stowell added, “Notwithstanding the tempered approach to homebuying that impacted the market during the third quarter, the benefit of our long-term growth strategy continued to unfold as disciplined land buying, moving up market, and new home designs, all led to a solid third quarter performance.”
 
Net income for the 2013 third quarter was $58.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $21.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.  Pretax income for the 2013 third quarter increased 220% to $70.1 million compared to $21.9 million for the prior year period.  The provision for income taxes for the 2013 third quarter included a non-cash tax benefit of $16.1 million related to the reduction of the Company’s accrual for unrecognized tax benefits.

Revenues from home sales for the 2013 third quarter increased 61%, to $511.1 million, as compared to the prior year period, resulting primarily from a 41% increase in new home deliveries and a 14% increase in the Company’s consolidated average home price to $420 thousand.  The increase in average home price was primarily attributable to our move-up market focus and general price increases within most of our markets.  The increase in new home deliveries was driven by a 62% year-over-year increase in the number of homes in beginning backlog expected to close during the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in speculative homes sold and closed in the quarter.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2013 third quarter increased to 25.3% compared to 20.2% in the prior year period.  The 510 basis point year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to price increases and a decrease in the use of sales incentives.  Excluding previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 31.2%* for the 2013 third quarter versus 28.7%* for the 2012 third quarter.

 
 

 
 
The Company’s 2013 third quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $61.9 million compared to $43.1 million, down 150 basis points as a percentage of home sale revenues to 12.1%, compared to 13.6% for the 2012 third quarter.  The improvement in the Company’s SG&A rate was primarily due to a 61% increase in revenues from home sales and reflects the operating leverage inherent in our business.

Net new orders for the 2013 third quarter increased 12% from the 2012 third quarter to 1,110 homes.  The year-over-year growth is primarily attributable to an increase in the Company’s monthly sales absorption rate to 2.2 per community for the 2013 third quarter, compared to 2.1 per community for the 2012 third quarter. The Company’s cancellation rate for the 2013 third quarter was 20%, compared to 14% for the 2012 third quarter and 11% for the 2013 second quarter.  Our 2013 third quarter cancellation rate increased from the historically low levels we experienced in the prior quarter and the prior year period, but was consistent with our average historical cancellation rate over the last 10 years.  As a percentage of beginning backlog our cancellation rate was 6.5% in the quarter, a 90 basis point reduction from the same period last year.

The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 93% to $964.1 million, or 2,165 homes, compared to $498.7 million, or 1,394 homes, for the 2012 third quarter, and increased 2% compared to $947.6 million, or 2,272 homes, for the 2013 second quarter.  The increase in year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by a 24% increase in the average selling price of the homes in backlog, a 12% increase in net new orders and a shift to more to-be-built homes that have a longer construction cycle.

Cash provided by operating activities was $22.8 million for the 2013 third quarter versus cash used in operating activities of $72.4 million in the 2012 third quarter.  During the 2013 third quarter, the Company spent $141.7 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $246.2 million for the 2012 third quarter, of which $140.8 million of cash land purchases and development costs were included in cash flows used in operating activities.  Excluding land purchases and development costs, cash inflows from operating activities for the 2013 third quarter were $164.5 million* versus $68.4 million* in the 2012 third quarter.  The year-over-year increase in cash inflows from operating activities (excluding land purchases and development costs) was primarily due to a 61% increase in home sale revenues.

The Company purchased $69.2 million of land (628 homesites) during the 2013 third quarter, of which 46% (based on homesites) was located in Florida, 21% in the Carolinas and 18% in California, with the balance spread throughout the Company’s other operations.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned or controlled 35,643 homesites, of which 21,993 are owned and actively selling or under development, 8,707 are controlled or under option, and the remaining 4,943 homesites are held for future development or for sale.  The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 5.2 year supply based on the Company’s deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2013.

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 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 cash flows provided by (used in) operations to cash inflows from operations excluding land purchases and development costs.  We believe this measure is useful to management and investors to provide perspective on underlying cash flow generation excluding swings related to the timing of land purchases and development costs.

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.  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.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)

The table set forth below calculates pro forma stockholders’ equity per common share.  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 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.
