IRVINE, Calif., July 22, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Standard Pacific Corp. (NYSE:SPF) today announced operating results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2009. Homebuilding revenues from continuing operations for the 2009 second quarter were $289.7 million, down 29% from $410.6 million last year. The Company generated a net loss of $23.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $249.0 million, or $3.44 per diluted share, for the year earlier period. The 2009 second quarter results included asset impairment charges of $21.3 million, of which $13.1 million related to real estate inventories and $8.2 million related to a joint venture. Impairment related charges for the 2008 second quarter totaled $149.2 million. The 2009 second quarter results also included $5.5 million in restructuring charges and an $8.9 million charge related to the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Excluding asset impairment and restructuring charges, the Company generated 2009 second quarter net income of approximately $2.2 million*, or $0.01 per diluted share.* During the quarter the Company generated $68.6 million of cash flows from operating activities, driven primarily from a $95.3 million decrease in inventories that was largely attributable to a 48% reduction in the number of completed spec homes (excluding podium projects). These cash flows were partially offset by other changes in working capital. The Company reduced its homebuilding debt during the quarter by $136.0 million (after assuming $25.2 million of secured project debt in connection with a joint venture unwind) and ended the quarter with $573.0 million of homebuilding cash (including $4.2 million of restricted cash). The debt reduction was driven primarily by the repayment of the remaining $124.6 million balance of the Company's 5 1/8% senior notes and the repayment of $10.0 million of credit facility indebtedness. The Company's homebuilding restricted cash balance decreased by $120.8 million during the quarter as a result of the Company meeting its bank credit facility cash flow coverage requirement. The Company's 2009 second quarter selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased $33.1 million, or 42%, from the year earlier period resulting in an SG&A rate of 15.9% versus 19.3% in the prior year period. Excluding restructuring charges, the Company's 2009 second quarter SG&A rate was 14.3%* versus 19.1%* for the 2008 second quarter despite a 29% decrease in revenues. Ken Campbell, President and CEO stated, "We are pleased with the progress we have made to date, particularly with respect to reducing our SG&A - both in absolute dollars and as a percent of revenues. Our SG&A reductions demonstrate our ability to vary our costs in line with our sales volumes, a capability that may get tested further if the recession continues for an extended period of time. We are also pleased with the $69 million of cash flows generated from operations during the quarter that resulted largely from the reduction of our completed spec inventory levels and improved order and delivery activity. These were improvements we told investors we were going to make, so I guess it's not a big surprise, but all of us here at Standard Pacific feel good about our progress to date." Mr. Campbell added, "While we still obviously have not achieved the level of profitability that we ultimately need, we are a lot closer than we were a couple of quarters ago and believe that we are in pretty good shape in the short run because of our higher backlog level. However, if we need to adjust further, we will." Homebuilding Operations The Company generated a homebuilding pretax loss from continuing operations for the 2009 second quarter of $24.3 million compared to a pretax loss of $185.9 million in the year earlier period. The Company's homebuilding pretax loss from continuing operations for the 2009 second quarter included $21.3 million of asset impairment charges and $5.3 million in restructuring charges. The decrease in pretax loss was primarily the result of a $127.9 million decrease in impairment charges, a $33.1 million decrease in the Company's SG&A expenses (which included approximately $4.6 million in restructuring charges related to severance and facilities reductions), a $12.2 million decrease in joint venture loss and a $13.0 million decrease in other expense. These changes were partially offset by a 29% decrease in homebuilding revenues to $289.7 million (due to a 24% decrease in new home deliveries to 942 homes and an 8% decline in our consolidated average home price to $302,000) and the expensing of $11.7 million of non-capitalized interest expense during the 2009 second quarter. Gross Margin The Company's homebuilding gross margin percentage from continuing operations (including land sales) for the 2009 second quarter was 13.5% compared to a negative 18.5% in the prior year period. The 2009 second quarter gross margin included $13.1 million in inventory impairment charges related to 10 projects. The impairments, which were included in cost of sales, related primarily to four projects in California totaling $8.2 million. Excluding the housing inventory impairment charges from continuing operations, the Company's 2009 second quarter gross margin from home sales would have been 18.5%* versus 12.9%* for the 2008 second quarter. The 560 basis point increase in the year-over-year adjusted gross margin was driven primarily by higher margins in California and lower direct construction costs as a result of value engineering and the rebidding of contracts. These factors were partially offset by lower home prices. Restructuring The Company's 2009 second quarter results included approximately $5.3 million in homebuilding restructuring charges related to severance ($3.0 million) and lease terminations and fixed asset write offs ($2.3 million), of which approximately $4.6 million was included in the Company's SG&A expenses and $0.7 million in other expense. Since December 31, 2008, the Company has reduced its total headcount by 33%, or 425 employees. Net New Orders and Backlog Net new orders (excluding joint ventures and discontinued operations) for the 2009 second quarter decreased 6% from the 2008 second quarter to 1,169 new homes on a 29% decrease in the number of average active selling communities from the prior year period. The Company's cancellation rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 16%, down from 24% for the 2009 first quarter and 25% for the 2008 second quarter. The Company's sales absorption rate for the 2009 second quarter was 2.7 per month per community, up from the prior year second quarter rate of 2.0 per month per community, and up from 1.5 per month per community for the 2009 first quarter. The improvement in the Company's sales absorption rate during the quarter as compared to the 2008 second quarter was due to increases in most of its markets on a per community basis with absorption rates particularly stronger in California and Arizona. As a result of the improved order trends experienced during the 2009 second quarter, the dollar value of the Company's backlog (excluding joint ventures) increased 45% from the 2009 first quarter to $308.5 million, or 982 homes. Joint Ventures During the 2009 second quarter the Company unwound one Southern California joint venture for a $1.1 million cash payment and the assumption of approximately $25.2 million of secured project debt. The Company also made a $9.1 million loan remargin payment related to another Southern California joint venture. As of June 30, 2009, the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures had $361.1 million in outstanding borrowings, $112.1 million of which were recourse to the Company, and remaining land takedown obligations of approximately $21.1 million related to a single unconsolidated joint venture. In addition, the Company recorded an $8.2 million impairment charge during the quarter related to its remaining investment in its North Las Vegas joint venture. Income Taxes The Company recorded a noncash valuation allowance of $8.9 million against the net deferred tax asset created as a result of the net loss generated during the three months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the total deferred tax valuation allowance was $682.2 million. *Please see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" on page 10.

However, it should be noted that such measures are not GAAP financial measures. 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. NOTES TO KEY STATISTICS AND FINANCIAL DATA (1) Excludes unconsolidated joint ventures and discontinued operations. (2) 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, (e) homebuilding depreciation and amortization, (f) amortization of stock-based compensation, (g) income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and (h) 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 investors as one measure of the Company's ability to service debt and obtain financing. However, it should be noted that Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measure. Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA 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. For the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and three months ended March 31, 2009, EBITDA and Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA from continuing and discontinued operations was calculated as follows: Three Months Ended LTM Ended June 30, June 30, June 30, March 31, 2009 2008 2009 2009 2008 (Dollars in thousands) Net income (loss) $(23,133) $(248,996) $(49,472) $(840,357) $(1,026,533) Provision (benefit) for income taxes - 60,769 - (67,564) 390 Homebuilding interest amortized to cost of sales and interest expense 33,590 20,689 25,718 123,606 115,876 Homebuilding depreciation and amortization 711 1,613 824 4,122 7,326 Amortization of stock-based compensation 4,079 1,002 1,529 11,560 18,674 EBITDA 15,247 (164,923) (21,401) (768,633) (884,267) Add: Cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures 326 185 - 1,759 7,155 Impairment charges 13,129 134,884 30,805 741,025 844,582 Less: Income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures (5,459) (17,645) 3,089 (115,235) (156,502) Income (loss) from financial services subsidiary 1,022 (1,350) (945) (443) (269) Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA $33,139 $(10,859) $7,260 $89,829 $124,241 The table set forth below reconciles net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, from continuing and discontinued operations, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA: Three Months Ended LTM Ended June 30, June 30, June 30, March 31, 2009 2008 2009 2009 2008 (Dollars in thousands) Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $68,595 $(62,852) $128,998 $294,714 $499,385 Add: Provision (benefit) for income taxes - 60,769 - (67,564) 390 Deferred tax valuation allowance (8,913) (130,871) (19,167) (287,090) (395,097) Homebuilding interest amortized to cost of sales and interest expense 33,590 20,689 25,718 123,606 115,876 Excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements - - - - 28 Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt 55 (9,144) 5,333 5,388 (5,254) Less: Income (loss) from financial services subsidiary 1,022 (1,350) (945) (443) (269) Depreciation and amortization from financial services subsidiary 171 203 175 719 832 Loss on disposal of property and equipment 675 - 663 4,130 1,439 Net changes in operating assets and liabilities: Trade and other receivables (7,666) 396 6,393 (11,654) (1,230) Mortgage loans held for sale 8,854 (9,020) (15,799) 10,478 (36,850) Inventories- owned (95,734) 49,968 (41,822) (258,149) (214,539) Inventories-not owned 460 29 678 115 (5,554) Deferred income taxes 8,913 26,108 19,167 284,877 122,638 Other assets 1,599 32,910 (120,274) (78,323) 14,615 Accounts payable 10,336 3,340 7,793 44,681 14,126 Accrued liabilities 14,918 5,672 10,135 33,156 17,709 Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA $33,139 $(10,859) $7,260 $89,829 $124,241 (3) The pro forma common shares outstanding include the as-converted Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, this calculation excludes 7.8 million shares issued under a share lending agreement related to the Company's 6% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes issued on September 28, 2007. The Company believes that the pro forma stockholders' equity per common share information is useful to 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. This is a non-GAAP financial measure and due to the significance of items adjusted and excluded from this calculation, such measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance measures. The following table reconciles actual common shares outstanding to pro forma common shares outstanding and calculates pro forma stockholders' equity per share: June 30, March 31, December 31, 2009 2009 2008 Actual common shares outstanding 101,110,072 100,851,622 100,624,350 Add: Conversion of Preferred shares to common shares 147,812,786 147,812,786 147,812,786 Less: Common shares outstanding under share lending facility (7,839,809) (7,839,809) (7,839,809) Pro forma common shares outstanding 241,083,049 240,824,599 240,597,327 Stockholders' equity (actual amounts rounded to nearest thousand) $346,512,000 $361,028,000 $407,941,000 Divided by pro forma common shares outstanding / 241,083,049 / 240,824,599 / 240,597,327 Pro forma stockholders' equity per common share $1.44 $1.50 $1.70 (4) Total debt at June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes $55.6 million, $46.9 million and $63.7 million, respectively, of indebtedness of the Company's financial services subsidiary. (5) Adjusted net homebuilding debt excludes indebtedness of the Company's financial services subsidiary and additionally reflects the offset of cash and equivalents in excess of $5 million. We believe that the adjusted net homebuilding debt to total book capitalization ratio is useful to investors as a measure of the Company's ability to obtain financing. This is a non-GAAP ratio and other companies may calculate this ratio differently. For purposes of the ratio of adjusted net homebuilding debt to total book capitalization, total book capitalization is adjusted net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity. Adjusted net homebuilding debt is calculated as follows: June 30, March 31, December 31, 2009 2009 2008 (Dollars in thousands) Total consolidated debt $1,330,940 $1,458,230 $1,550,092 Less: Financial services indebtedness (55,640) (46,940) (63,655) Homebuilding cash in excess of $5 million (568,038) (663,300) (621,386) Adjusted net homebuilding debt $707,262 $747,990 $865,051 DATASOURCE: Standard Pacific Corp.
