Standard Pacific Corp. Reports 2015 First Quarter Results
Thu April 30, 2015 4:02 PM|PR Newswire | About: SPF

IRVINE, Calif., April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Pacific Corp. (NYSE: SPF) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

2015 First Quarter Highlights and Comparisons to 2014 First Quarter
•Net new orders of 1,571, up 20%; Dollar value of net new orders up 31%
•Backlog of 2,310 homes, up 15%; Dollar value of backlog up 29%
•198 average active selling communities, up 14%
•972 new home deliveries, down 2%
•Average selling price of $482 thousand, up 7%
•Home sale revenues of $468.4 million, up 5%
•Gross margin from home sales of 24.2%, compared to 26.6%
•Operating margin from home sales of $47.5 million, or 10.1%, compared to $60.1 million, or 13.4%
•Net income of $31.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, vs. net income of $38.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share
•$160.1 million of land purchases and development costs, compared to $224.1 million

Scott Stowell, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "I'm pleased with our first quarter results and the start to the spring selling season. With our orders up 20%, backlog value up 29% and the solid improvement we are seeing in our backlog gross margin, 2015 is setting up to be another year of solid growth and performance for the Company."

Orders. Net new orders for the 2015 first quarter were up 20% from the 2014 first quarter, to 1,571 homes, with the dollar value of these orders up 31%. The Company's monthly sales absorption rate was 2.6 per community for the 2015 first quarter, up 5% from the 2014 first quarter and up 49% compared to the 2014 fourth quarter. The increase in sales absorption rate from the 2014 fourth quarter to the 2015 first quarter was above the seasonality we typically experience in our business. The Company's cancellation rate for the 2015 first quarter was 11% compared to 14% for the 2014 first quarter and 21% for the 2014 fourth quarter.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 29% to $1.3 billion, or 2,310 homes, compared to $1.0 billion, or 2,016 homes, for the 2014 first quarter, and increased 41% compared to $916.4 million, or 1,711 homes, for the 2014 fourth quarter. The increase in year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by a 13% 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.

Revenue. Revenues from home sales for the 2015 first quarter increased 5%, to $468.4 million, as compared to the prior year period, resulting primarily from a 7% increase in the Company's average home price to $482 thousand, partially offset by a 2% decrease 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 decrease in new home deliveries compared to the prior year period was driven primarily by a 14% decrease in deliveries from the Company's California region, partially offset by an 11% increase from the Company's Southwest region.

Gross Margin. Gross margin percentage from home sales for the 2015 first quarter was 24.2%, down 100 basis points from last quarter, consistent with the Company's expectations. As previously disclosed, we anticipate our full year gross margin will be in the 24-25% range.

Land. During the 2015 first quarter, the Company spent $160.1 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $224.1 million for the 2014 first quarter. The Company purchased $78.5 million of land, consisting of 971 homesites, of which 31% (based on homesites) is located in California, 28% in Texas, 21% in the Carolinas, 19% in Florida, and 1% in Colorado. As of March 31, 2015, the Company owned or controlled 35,183 homesites, of which 24,771 were owned and actively selling or under development, 5,999 were controlled or under option, and the remaining 4,413 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 March 31, 2015.

Liquidity. The Company ended the quarter with $516 million of available liquidity, including $81 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and $435 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment may be increased from $450 million 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 March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 56.0% and 54.9%, respectively, and adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted book capitalization was 54.6%* and 51.7%*, respectively. In addition, the Company's homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the LTM period ending March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 4.6x* and 4.5x*, respectively.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Pacific Corp. (NYSE: SPF) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

2014 Third Quarter Highlights and Comparisons to the 2013 Third Quarter

million, or $0.15 per diluted share

$67.4 million, or 13.2%

-- $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.

$SPF..For 2013, we generated homebuilding pretax income of $246.3 million compared to $67.6 million in 2012. This improvement was primarily the result
of a 40% increase in new home deliveries, an increase in gross margin from home sales, a $6.4 million decrease in interest expense and the operating leverage
inherent in our business.
For 2012, we generated homebuilding pretax income of $67.6 million compared to a pretax loss of $18.2 million in 2011. This improvement was
primarily the result of a 30% increase in new home deliveries, a $13.2 million decrease in asset impairment charges, an increase in gross margin from home
sales, an $18.8 million decrease in interest expense and our operating leverage.
Revenues
Homebuilding revenues for 2013 increased 55% from 2012 as a result of a 40% increase in new home deliveries and a 14% increase in our consolidated
average home price to $413 thousand, partially offset by a $31.1 million decrease in land sale revenues. Homebuilding revenues for 2012 increased 40% from
2011 as a result of a 30% increase in new home deliveries, a $45.8 million increase in land sale revenues and a 4% increase in our consolidated average home
price to $362 thousand.

New home deliveries increased 40% in 2013 as compared to the prior year, driven largely by a 106% increase in the number of homes in backlog at
the beginning of the year as compared to the year earlier period and a 22% increase in net new orders, partially offset by a decrease in speculative homes sold
and closed during the year. New home deliveries increased 30% in 2012 compared to 2011, driven largely by a 64% increase in the number of homes in
backlog at the beginning of the year as compared to the year earlier period and a 44% increase in net new orders.

Standard Pacific Corp. Reports 2012 Third Quarter Results

Thursday , October 25, 2012 16:02ET

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Pacific Corp. (NYSE: SPF) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

2012 Third Quarter Highlights and Comparisons to the 2011 Third Quarter:

-- Net income of $21.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, vs. net loss of
$6.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share
-- Net new orders of 989, up 29%
-- Backlog of 1,394 homes, up 64%
-- 156 average active selling communities, down 2%
-- Homebuilding revenues up 32%
-- Average selling price of $369 thousand, up 7%
-- 861 new home deliveries, up 24%
-- Gross margin from home sales of 20.2%, compared to 15.8% (18.8%*
excluding impairment charges)
-- SG&A rate from home sales of 13.6%, a 260 basis point improvement
-- $246.2 million of land purchases and development costs compared to
$106.4 million
-- Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA of $51.5 million*, or 16.2%* of
homebuilding revenues, compared to $28.4 million*, or 11.7%* of
homebuilding revenues
-- Homebuilding cash balance of $500 million
-- Amended undrawn revolving credit facility in October 2012 to increase
capacity to $350 million

Scott Stowell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "We are pleased that the positive momentum we experienced during the first half of 2012 continued into the third quarter. We earned $21.7 million, with deliveries up 24%, orders up 29% and homebuilding revenues up 32% over the prior year period. We are most pleased by the significant 64% year-over-year increase in the dollar value and number of homes in backlog to approximately $500 million, or 1,400 homes. Our solid third quarter results reflect the execution of our strategy and improved housing market conditions during the quarter."

Revenues from home sales for the 2012 third quarter increased 31%, to $317.4 million from $241.4 million, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a 24% increase in new home deliveries (excluding joint ventures) to 861 homes and a 7% increase in our consolidated average home price to $369 thousand. The increase in new home deliveries was driven by a 62% increase in the number of homes in backlog at the beginning of the quarter as compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2012 third quarter increased to 20.2% compared to 15.8% (18.8%* excluding $7.2 million of inventory impairment charges) in the prior year period. Excluding inventory impairment charges and previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 28.7%* for the 2012 third quarter versus 26.6%* for the 2011 third quarter. This 210 basis point improvement was primarily attributable to a mix shift to more deliveries from higher margin communities, price increases in certain communities with higher sales absorption, and improved margins from speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter.

The Company's 2012 third quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $43.1 million compared to $39.1 million for the prior year period, down 260 basis points as a percentage of home sale revenues to 13.6%, compared to 16.2% for the 2011 third quarter. The improvement in the Company's SG&A rate was primarily due to a 31% increase in revenues from home sales and the operating leverage inherent in our business.

Net new orders (excluding joint ventures) for the 2012 third quarter increased 29% from the 2011 third quarter to 989 homes. The 29% year-over-year growth is attributable to a 32% increase in the Company's monthly sales absorption rate, partially offset by a 2% decrease in the number of average active selling communities. The Company's monthly sales absorption rate for the 2012 third quarter was 2.1 per community, compared to 1.6 per community for the 2011 third quarter and 2.4 per community for the 2012 second quarter. The 10% decrease in absorption rate from the 2012 second quarter to the 2012 third quarter is slightly better than the historical seasonality for the Company. The Company's cancellation rate for the 2012 third quarter was 14%, compared to 16% for the 2011 third quarter and 11% for the 2012 second quarter.

The dollar value of homes in backlog (excluding joint ventures) increased 64% to $498.7 million, or 1,394 homes, compared to $304.8 million, or 848 homes, for the 2011 third quarter, and increased 13% compared to $439.7 million, or 1,266 homes, for the 2012 second quarter. The increase in year over year backlog value was driven primarily by a 29% increase in net new orders and a shift to more to-be-built homes.

The Company used $72.4 million of cash in operating activities for the 2012 third quarter versus $78.5 million in the 2011 third quarter. During the 2012 third quarter, the Company spent $246.2 million on land purchases and development costs, of which $140.8 million of cash land purchases and development costs were included in cash flows used in operating activities, compared to $106.4 million for the 2011 third quarter. Excluding land purchases and development costs, cash inflows from operating activities for the 2012 third quarter were $68.4 million* versus $27.9 million* in the 2011 third quarter. The year over year increase in cash inflows from operating activities (excluding land purchases and development costs) was primarily due to a 31% increase in home sale revenues.

The Company purchased $206.7 million of land (3,497 homesites) during the 2012 third quarter, of which 76% (based on homesites) was located in California and 11% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout the Company's other operations. The Company purchased $337.3 million of land (6,259 homesites) during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, of which 47% (based on homesites) was located in California, 24% in the Carolinas, 13% in Texas and 13% in Florida, with the balance spread throughout the Company's other operations. As of September 30, 2012, the Company owned or controlled 30,154 homesites, of which 17,718 are owned and actively selling or under development, 6,180 are controlled or under option, and the remaining 6,256 homesites are held for future development or for sale. The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 5.7 year supply based on the Company's deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2012.

Standard Pacific Corp. Reports 2012 Second Quarter Results

http://www.streetinsider.com/Press+Releases/Standard+Pacific+Corp.+Reports+2012+Second+Quarter+Results/7608108.html


Standard Pacific Corp. (NYSE: SPF) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

2012 Second Quarter Highlights and Comparisons to the 2011 Second Quarter:

Net income of $14.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, vs. net loss of $10.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share

Net new orders of 1,108, up 45%

Backlog of 1,266 homes, up 62%

157 average active selling communities, up 3%

Homebuilding revenues up 35%

Average selling price of $337 thousand, up 1%

815 new home deliveries, up 34%

Gross margin from home sales of 20.5%, compared to 17.0% (20.0%* excluding impairments in Q2 2011)

SG&A rate from home sales of 15.3%, a 350 basis point improvement

Operating cash outflows of $56.6 million, a $65.4 million improvement from $122.0 million

$131.1 million of land purchases and development costs, compared to $123.8 million

Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA of $41.8 million*, or 15.2%* of homebuilding revenues, compared to $23.7 million*, or 11.6%* of homebuilding revenues

Homebuilding cash balance of $317 million

Scott Stowell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "We are pleased that the positive momentum we experienced during the first quarter of 2012 continued into the second quarter. We earned $14.3 million, or $0.04 cents per share, with deliveries up 34%, revenues up 35%, orders up 45% and homes in backlog up 62% over the prior year period. Our solid second quarter results reflect the execution of our strategy and continued improvement in housing market conditions during the quarter."

Home sale revenues for the 2012 second quarter increased 35% from $204.2 million for the 2011 second quarter to $274.9 million, primarily due to a 34% increase in new home deliveries (excluding joint ventures) to 815 homes. The increase in new home deliveries was driven by a 55% increase in the number of homes in backlog at the beginning of the quarter as compared to the prior year period and a 13% increase in speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter to 285 homes, compared to 253 homes.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2012 second quarter increased to 20.5% compared to 17.0% (20.0%* excluding $6.0 million of inventory impairment charges) in the prior year period, primarily attributable to the improvement in gross margins from speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter, offset by an increase in previously capitalized interest included in cost of home sales. Excluding inventory impairment charges and previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 29.4%* for the 2012 second quarter versus 27.9%* for the 2011 second quarter.

The Company's 2012 second quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $42.0 million compared to $38.4 million for the prior year period, down 350 basis points as a percentage of home sale revenues to 15.3%, compared to 18.8% (17.8%* excluding $2.2 million of severance and other charges related to executive management changes) for the 2011 second quarter. The improvement in the Company's SG&A rate was primarily due to a 35% increase in revenues from home sales and the operating leverage inherent in our business. The Company's G&A expenses (excluding incentive and stock-based compensation and charges related to executive management changes) were $21.0 million for the 2012 second quarter, compared to $20.8 million for the 2011 second quarter and $20.9 million for the 2012 first quarter.

Net new orders (excluding joint ventures) for the 2012 second quarter increased 45% from the 2011 second quarter to 1,108 homes on a slight increase in the number of average active selling communities, from 153 to 157, reflecting an increase in the Company's monthly sales absorption rate for the 2012 second quarter to 2.4 per community, compared to 1.7 per community for the 2011 second quarter and 2.0 per community for the 2012 first quarter. The Company's cancellation rate for the 2012 second quarter was 11%, compared to 14% for the 2011 second quarter and 13% for the 2012 first quarter.

The dollar value of homes in backlog (excluding joint ventures) increased 50% to $439.7 million, or 1,266 homes, compared to $293.8 million, or 781 homes, for the 2011 second quarter, and increased 32% compared to $331.9 million, or 973 homes, for the 2012 first quarter. The increase in year over year backlog value was driven primarily by a 45% increase in net new orders.

The Company used $56.6 million of cash in operating activities for the 2012 second quarter versus $122.0 million in the 2011 second quarter. Cash flows used in operating activities for the 2012 second quarter included $96.6 million of cash land purchases and $34.5 million of land development costs, compared to $92.2 million and $31.6 million, respectively, for the 2011 second quarter. Excluding land purchases and development costs, cash inflows from operating activities for the 2012 second quarter were $74.5 million* versus $1.9 million* in the 2011 second quarter. The year over year increase in cash inflows from operating activities (excluding land purchases and development costs) was primarily due to a 35% increase in home sale revenues.

The Company purchased $96.6 million of land (2,238 homesites) during the 2012 second quarter. Approximately 36% of land purchases (based on land value) were located in California and 32% in Florida, with the balance spread throughout the Company's other operations. As of June 30, 2012, the Company owned or controlled 27,757 homesites, of which 14,966 owned homesites are actively selling or under development. The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 5.1 year supply based on the Company's deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2012.

Standard Pacific (NYSE: SPF ) , whose stock has risen 69% so far this year, also turned in numbers to die for: new orders up 43% from last year, an increase in backlog of 55%, and a revenue jump of nearly 56%. M.D.C. Holdings (NYSE: MDC ) was equally upbeat, easily besting predictions in its own first-quarter report. New orders and backlog were up here as well, by 51% and 50%, respectively. Closings were up also, by 12%.These are impressive numbers and with all of the homebuilders experiencing the same positive trends I'd have to say the recovery in homebuilding may have legs this time.

Housing Is Rebounding -- Really

By Amanda Alix |
May 11, 2012 |

http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/05/11/housing-is-rebounding-really.aspx



Homebuilder stocks have been on a pretty steady incline this year, despite concerns about whether the housing market is truly recovering. Although recent news has still been a bit mixed, the upshot is that the housing market really is improving, and there are concrete numbers to prove it.

Lennar (NYSE: LEN ) , one of the nation's largest home construction companies, reported a 33% increase in new home orders in the first quarter, as well as wider operating margins due to the ability of the company to reduce incentives and raise prices. CEO Stuart Miller's comments that stability was returning to the sector may sound trite, but the homebuilder's numbers seem to be proof. Its stock has been rising steadily, by nearly 60% from this time last year. Lest you think that this could be the result of wishful thinking on the part of investors, Lennar's first quarter easily beat analysts' estimates on EPS and revenue.

Ryland Group (NYSE: RYL ) also has investor support, and, despite missing on revenue estimates, still delivered a revenue increase of almost 30% year over year. Other nuggets contained in its first-quarter report were an increase in new orders from the previous year of more than 46%, while closings rose 25% over the same time period.

Standard Pacific (NYSE: SPF ) , whose stock has risen 69% so far this year, also turned in numbers to die for: new orders up 43% from last year, an increase in backlog of 55%, and a revenue jump of nearly 56%. M.D.C. Holdings (NYSE: MDC ) was equally upbeat, easily besting predictions in its own first-quarter report. New orders and backlog were up here as well, by 51% and 50%, respectively. Closings were up also, by 12%.

The increase in sale closings is significant, and it is noteworthy that a Wells Fargo survey for the month of March showed that both pricing and sales rates improved from February. A report from the National Association of Realtors reinforces this point, noting that the number of properties that had signed purchase and sale agreements rose more than 4% from February, and nearly 13% from March 2011. Although the report didn't designate sales that had actually closed, the data shows that the market is moving in the right direction.

Fool's take
The evidence indicates quite clearly that a housing rebound has begun, and is gaining momentum. There may be a few more sputters and stalls, however, before the recovery gets a firm footing. Things are not all sweetness and light just yet, and a National Association of Home Builders report published in mid-April notes that builders' confidence in completed sales is still shaky, and that headwinds such as the still-high levels of foreclosures on the market and tight credit policies are still affecting the sector. The prime selling season is upon us, however, and it looks as if it just may be the best one we've seen for several years.

The demand for housing will never decrease for long, which makes this sector great for long-term investing

IRVINE, Calif., April 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Pacific Corp. (NYSE: SPF) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

2012 First Quarter Highlights and Comparisons to the 2011 First Quarter:

$14.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share

homebuilding revenues, compared to $11.0 million*, or 7.7%* of
homebuilding revenues
-- Homebuilding cash balance of $394 million, with $195 million available
from revolving credit facility

Scott Stowell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "After a strong finish to 2011, we are pleased to report that the positive momentum has continued into the first quarter. We believe our solid first quarter results reflect the execution of our strategy and suggest that there may be some stabilization in the economy and the overall housing market." Mr. Stowell added, "We have achieved a profitable first quarter, with net new orders, new home deliveries, home sale revenues and homes in backlog up over the prior year by 43%, 46%, 53% and 55%, respectively. In addition to these significant year-over-year improvements, I am also particularly pleased with our gross margin from home sales, which was 20.3% for the 2012 first quarter."


Net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $8.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the year earlier period. The 2012 first quarter included $4.1 million of income related to the settlement of a property insurance claim.

Home sale revenues for the 2012 first quarter increased 53% from $143.7 million for the 2011 first quarter to $220.3 million, driven primarily by a 46% increase in new home deliveries (excluding joint ventures) to 642 homes and a 5% increase in the Company's consolidated average home price to $343 thousand. The increase in new home deliveries was driven primarily by a 64% increase in the number of homes in backlog at the beginning of the quarter as compared to the prior year period and a 20% increase in speculative homes sold and delivered during the quarter to 259 homes, compared to 216 homes. The increase in the Company's consolidated average home price was primarily due to general price increases and a product mix shift to move-up home deliveries.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2012 first quarter decreased slightly to 20.3% compared to 20.5% in the prior year period, driven by a reduction in the overall percentage of new home deliveries from California, which typically have higher gross margins than deliveries from the Company's other markets, and an increase in previously capitalized interest included in cost of home sales, partially offset by a decrease in sales incentives and general price increases. Excluding previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 28.7%* for the 2012 first quarter versus 28.1%* for the 2011 first quarter.

The Company's 2012 first quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $37.7 million compared to $32.3 million for the prior year period, down 540 basis points as a percentage of home sale revenues to 17.1%, compared to 22.5% for the 2011 first quarter. The improvement in the Company's SG&A rate was primarily due to a 53% increase in revenues from home sales and the operating leverage inherent in our business. The Company's G&A expenses (excluding incentive and stock-based compensation and restructuring charges) were $20.9 million for the 2012 first quarter, compared to $20.0 million for the 2011 first quarter and $21.4 million for the 2011 fourth quarter. The increase in the Company's 2012 first quarter G&A expenses (excluding incentive and stock-based compensation and restructuring charges), compared to the 2011 first quarter, was primarily due to an increase in insurance expense, which is a variable expense based on homebuilding revenues.

Net new orders (excluding joint ventures) for the 2012 first quarter increased 43% from the 2011 first quarter to 934 homes on a 14% increase in the number of average active selling communities, from 138 to 158, reflecting the Company's progress in growing its community count and an increase in the Company's monthly sales absorption rate for the 2012 first quarter to 2.0 per community, compared to 1.6 per community for the 2011 first quarter and 1.3 per community for the 2011 fourth quarter. The Company's cancellation rate for the 2012 first quarter was 13%, compared to 14% for the 2011 first quarter and 19% for the 2011 fourth quarter. The total number of sales cancellations for the 2012 first quarter was 144, of which 65 cancellations related to homes in the Company's 2012 first quarter beginning backlog and 79 related to orders generated during the quarter.

The dollar value of homes in backlog (excluding joint ventures) increased 57% to $331.9 million, or 973 homes, compared to $211.8 million, or 627 homes, for the 2011 first quarter, and increased 43% compared to $232.6 million, or 681 homes, for the 2011 fourth quarter. The increase in year over year backlog value was driven primarily by a 43% increase in net new orders and an increase in the average home price in backlog to $341 thousand, compared to $338 thousand for the prior year period.

The Company used $42.1 million of cash in operating activities for the 2012 first quarter versus $110.2 million in the 2011 first quarter. Cash flows used in operating activities for the 2012 first quarter included $34.0 million of cash land purchases and $31.8 million of land development costs, compared to $87.1 million and $33.5 million, respectively, for the 2011 first quarter. Excluding land purchases and development costs, cash inflows from operating activities for the 2012 first quarter were $23.6 million* versus $10.4 million* in the 2011 first quarter. The year over year increase in cash inflows from operating activities (excluding land purchases and development costs) was primarily due to a 53% increase in home sale revenues, partially offset by a $17 million increase in interest payments.

The Company purchased $34.0 million of land (524 homesites) during the 2012 first quarter. Approximately 15% of land purchases (based on land value) were located in California and 60% in Texas, with the balance spread throughout the Company's other operations. As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned or controlled 26,117 homesites, of which 13,370 owned homesites are actively selling or under development. The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 4.9 year supply based on the Company's deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2012.

Homebuilders stocks down on housing starts report

Homebuilder shares slide after report shows builders broke ground on fewer homes in February

Associated Press – 20 hours ago

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/homebuilders-stocks-down-housing-starts-182435037.html

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Shares of U.S. homebuilders slid on Tuesday after the government said builders started working on fewer homes last month than they did in January.

The Commerce Department reported that builders broke ground on a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 698,000 homes in February. That represents a decline of 1.1 percent from January's pace, but an increase of 34.7 percent from a year earlier, and the highest level since October 2008.

Still, construction of single-family homes, which makes up roughly 70 percent of housing starts, fell nearly 10 percent, ending a four-month streak of increases leading to an 18-month high.

There had been strong gains during the normally slow winter months because of unusually warm winter weather, which helped drive more construction activity, said Mark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities.

Despite the slump in homebuilders' shares, there were signs of continued improvement in the housing market. Building permits, a gauge of future construction, jumped 5.1 percent last month to 717,000, and two-thirds were for single-family homes.

Builders are starting to see some signs of progress. They are increasingly confident after seeing more people express interest in buying a home. Mortgage rates are hovering near record lows below 4 percent. And home sales started to rise at the end of last year.

But the housing market still has a long way to go before a full recovery is under way. The current pace of construction is barely half the rate considered healthy, as are the number of permits being requested. Most analysts say it could be years before the industry returns to full health.

•Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA of $105.9 million*, or 12.0%* of homebuilding revenues


Scott Stowell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "I am pleased with the results for the quarter. Our strategic focus on growing community count in the move-up segment, our continued dedication to quality home design, and our commitment to creating a superior customer experience have all contributed to our solid 4th quarter results." Mr. Stowell added, "While we believe the homebuilding industry will face ongoing headwinds throughout 2012, I am confident that with our focus on execution at every level of our organization we will continue to drive improved profitability despite these challenging market conditions."

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company reported net income of $15.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $21.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the year earlier period. The 2010 fourth quarter included a $23.8 million charge related to the early extinguishment of debt and $2.4 million of asset impairment charges and deposit write-offs.

For fiscal year 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $16.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the full year 2010. The Company's adjusted net income for fiscal year 2011 was $3.2 million*, or $0.01* per diluted share, excluding $15.3 million of inventory impairment charges and deposit write-offs and $4.2 million of restructuring, severance and other charges related to management changes. Fiscal year 2010 included $30.0 million of debt refinance charges and $2.4 million of asset impairment charges and deposit write-offs.

Homebuilding revenues increased 38% from $212.4 million for the 2010 fourth quarter to $293.2 million for the 2011 fourth quarter driven primarily by a 26% increase in new home deliveries to 782 homes. The Company's consolidated average home price for the 2011 fourth quarter was $374 thousand, which was up 10% over the prior year. The increase in the Company's average selling price was largely due to an increase in deliveries of luxury homes in Southern California during the 2011 fourth quarter, which includes the delivery of two homes with an average selling price of approximately $6 million from one of the Company's Southern California coastal communities.

Gross margin from home sales for the 2011 fourth quarter was 20.4% versus 22.2% for the prior year. The 2011 fourth quarter gross margin from home sales included a $2.9 million benefit related to a reduction in the Company's warranty accrual, compared to a $2.0 million benefit recorded in the prior year quarter. Excluding warranty accrual adjustments and $1.8 million of inventory impairment charges recorded during the prior year quarter, the adjusted gross margin from home sales for the 2011 fourth quarter was 19.4%*, versus 22.2%* for the prior year. The 280 basis point decline in the Company's adjusted gross margin from home sales was driven primarily by lower margins in a majority of the Company's markets due to a mix shift to more deliveries from lower margin projects and a reduction in the percentage of California deliveries as compared to the prior year. Excluding warranty accrual adjustments, inventory impairments and previously capitalized interest costs, gross margin from home sales was 27.5%* for the 2011 fourth quarter versus 29.2%* for the 2010 fourth quarter.

The Company's 2011 fourth quarter SG&A expenses (including Corporate G&A) were $44.5 million and included noncash stock-based compensation expenses of $3.1 million and restructuring charges of $0.9 million, primarily related to employee severance costs.
