RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2012
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $28.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011. There were no pretax charges related to early retirement of debt for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $274,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The Company had pretax charges related to feasibility cost write-offs that totaled $300,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1.1 million of inventory and other valuation adjustments and write-offs for the same period in 2011.
The homebuilding segments reported pretax earnings of $32.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to pretax earnings of $7.0 million for the same period in 2011. This increase was primarily due to a rise in closing volume; higher housing gross profit margin, including lower inventory and other valuation adjustments and write-offs; and a reduced selling, general and administrative expense ratio, partially offset by higher interest expense.
Homebuilding revenues increased 67.7 percent to $427.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $254.9 million for the same period in 2011. This rise in homebuilding revenues was primarily attributable to a 58.9 percent increase in closings that totaled 1,567 units for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to 986 units for the same period in the prior year, as well as to a 5.9 percent increase in average closing price, which was $270,000 for the fourth quarter of 2012, versus $255,000 for the same period in 2011. Homebuilding revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 included $3.8 million from land sales, which resulted in pretax earnings of $981,000, compared to homebuilding revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 that included $3.1 million from land sales, which resulted in pretax earnings of $228,000.
New orders increased 64.1 percent to 1,493 units for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to new orders of 910 units for the same period in 2011. The Company had an average monthly sales absorption rate of 2.1 homes per community for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, versus 1.4 homes per community for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, and an average cancellation rate of 17.9 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, versus 21.4 percent for the same period in 2011. For the fourth quarter of 2012, new order dollars increased 82.0 percent to $425.9 million from $234.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. At December 31, 2012, backlog increased 61.4 percent to 2,391 units from 1,481 units at December 31, 2011. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, the dollar value of the Company’s backlog was $663.4 million, reflecting a 73.8 percent rise from the end of the prior year.
Housing gross profit margin was 20.0 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to 18.1 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. This improvement in housing gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a decline in direct construction and land costs; higher leverage of direct overhead expense due to an increase in the number of homes delivered; lower inventory and other valuation adjustments and write-offs; and reduced sales incentives and price concessions. For the fourth quarter of 2012, sales incentives and price concessions totaled 8.7 percent, compared to 10.7 percent for the same period in 2011.
Selling, general and administrative expense, including corporate, totaled 13.4 percent of homebuilding revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 16.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2011. This decrease in the selling, general and administrative expense ratio was primarily attributable to higher leverage resulting from increased revenues and to the impact of cost-saving initiatives, partially offset by higher compensation expense primarily due to the impact of fluctuations in the Company’s stock price.
The homebuilding segments recorded $5.1 million of interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $3.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase in interest expense from the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily due to interest incurred on additional senior notes issued in 2012, partially offset by the capitalization of a greater amount of interest incurred during the fourth quarter of 2012, which resulted from a higher level of inventory under development.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company used $129.8 million of cash for operating activities, provided $117.6 million of cash from investing activities and used $56.4 million of cash for financing activities.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the financial services segment reported pretax earnings of $6.2 million, compared to $437,000 for the same period in 2011. This improvement was primarily attributable to increases in locked loan pipeline and origination volumes, higher title income and lower indemnification expense, partially offset by a rise in personnel and legal expenses and by interest related to the financial services credit facility that was entered into during December 2011.
The Company’s net loss from discontinued operations totaled $374,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $451,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011.

The homebuilding segments reported pretax earnings of $63.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to a pretax loss of $16.8 million for the same period in 2011. This increase was primarily due to a rise in closing volume; higher housing gross profit margin, including lower inventory and other valuation adjustments and write-offs; a decline in interest expense; and a reduced selling, general and administrative expense ratio.
Homebuilding revenues increased 47.3 percent to $1.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $862.6 million for the same period in 2011. This rise in homebuilding revenues was primarily attributable to a 40.9 percent increase in closings that totaled 4,809 units for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 3,413 units for the same period in 2011, as well as to a 4.8 percent increase in average closing price, which was $263,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, versus $251,000 for the same period in 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, new order dollars increased 61.9 percent to $1.5 billion from $954.0 million for the same period in 2011.
Housing gross profit margin was 19.1 percent for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 16.7 percent for the same period in 2011. This improvement in housing gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a decline in direct construction and land costs; higher leverage of direct overhead expense due to an increase in the number of homes delivered; lower inventory and other valuation adjustments and write-offs; and reduced sales incentives and price concessions. For the year ended December 31, 2012, sales incentives and price concessions totaled 9.6 percent, compared to 11.2 percent for the same period in 2011.
Selling, general and administrative expense, including corporate, totaled 14.9 percent of homebuilding revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 18.3 percent for the same period in 2011. This decrease in the selling, general and administrative expense ratio was primarily attributable to higher leverage resulting from increased revenues and to the impact of cost-saving initiatives, partially offset by higher compensation expense primarily due to the impact of fluctuations in the Company’s stock price.
The homebuilding segments recorded $16.1 million of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $18.3 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease in interest expense from 2011 was primarily due to the capitalization of a greater amount of interest incurred during 2012, which resulted from a higher level of inventory under development, partially offset by interest incurred on additional senior notes issued in 2012.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the financial services segment reported pretax earnings of $13.1 million, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2011. This improvement was primarily attributable to increases in locked loan pipeline and origination volumes and to higher title income, partially offset by a rise in personnel and legal expenses and by interest related to the financial services credit facility that was entered into during December 2011.
The Company’s net loss from discontinued operations totaled $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $20.9 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011.
