RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2013
For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $53.6 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. There were no pretax charges related to early retirement of debt during the third quarter of 2013, compared to pretax charges that totaled $9.1 million during the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, the Company had pretax charges primarily related to write-offs that totaled $509,000 and $3.5 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The homebuilding segments reported pretax earnings of $55.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to pretax earnings of $20.8 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to a rise in closing volume; higher housing gross profit margin, including lower write-offs; a reduced selling, general and administrative expense ratio; and a decline in interest expense.
Homebuilding revenues increased 61.2 percent to $562.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $349.2 million for the same period in 2012. This rise in homebuilding revenues was primarily attributable to a 43.5 percent increase in closings that totaled 1,883 units for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to 1,312 units for the same period in the prior year, as well as to a 12.9 percent higher average closing price, which was $298,000 for the third quarter of 2013, versus $264,000 for the same period in 2012. Homebuilding revenues for the third quarter of 2013 included $2.3 million from land sales, which resulted in pretax earnings of $233,000, compared to homebuilding revenues for the third quarter of 2012 that included $2.2 million from land sales, which resulted in pretax earnings of $935,000.
New orders increased 6.1 percent to 1,592 units for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, from new orders of 1,500 units for the same period in 2012. The Company had an average monthly sales absorption rate of 2.0 homes per community for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, versus 2.3 homes per community for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, and an average cancellation rate of 23.0 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, versus 19.9 percent for the same period in 2012. For the third quarter of 2013, new order dollars increased 33.0 percent to $523.0 million from $393.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. At September 30, 2013, backlog increased 37.0 percent to 3,376 units from 2,465 units at September 30, 2012. At the end of the third quarter of 2013, the dollar value of the Company’s backlog was $1.1 billion, reflecting a 61.8 percent rise from the end of the third quarter of the prior year.
Housing gross profit margin was 20.6 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to 19.1 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. This improvement in housing gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a relative decline in direct construction costs and to lower option deposit write-offs, partially offset by increased land costs. For the third quarter of 2013, sales incentives and price concessions totaled 6.4 percent of housing revenues, compared to 9.1 percent for the same period in 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expense totaled 11.9 percent of homebuilding revenues for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 13.8 percent for the third quarter of 2012. This decrease in the selling, general and administrative expense ratio was primarily attributable to higher leverage that resulted from increased revenues.
The homebuilding segments recorded $1.3 million of interest expense during the third quarter of 2013, compared to $3.2 million during the third quarter of 2012. This decrease in interest expense from the third quarter of 2012 was primarily due to the capitalization of a greater amount of interest incurred during the third quarter of 2013, which resulted from a higher level of inventory under development, partially offset by an overall increase in interest incurred on senior notes.
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company used $74.3 million of cash for operating activities, $31.5 million of cash for investing activities and $16.5 million of cash for financing activities.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the financial services segment reported pretax earnings of $6.0 million, compared to pretax earnings of $3.4 million for the same period in 2012. This improvement was primarily attributable to an increase in origination volume and to higher title income, partially offset by a rise in personnel expense.
RESULTS FOR THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2013
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $306.8 million, or $5.55 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. There were no pretax charges related to early retirement of debt during the first nine months of 2013, compared to pretax charges that totaled $9.1 million during the first nine months of 2012. Additionally, the Company had pretax charges that totaled $1.1 million primarily related to write-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to pretax charges that totaled $6.0 million primarily related to inventory valuation adjustments and write-offs for the same period in 2012.
The homebuilding segments reported pretax earnings of $122.8 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to pretax earnings of $31.8 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to a rise in closing volume; higher housing gross profit margin, including lower inventory valuation adjustments and write-offs; a reduced selling, general and administrative expense ratio; and a decline in interest expense.
Homebuilding revenues increased 66.5 percent to $1.4 billion for the first nine months of 2013 from $843.3 million for the same period in 2012. This rise in homebuilding revenues was primarily attributable to a 49.6 percent increase in closings that totaled 4,849 units for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 3,242 units for the same period in the prior year, as well as to an 11.2 percent higher average closing price, which was $288,000 for the first nine months of 2013, versus $259,000 for the same period in 2012. Homebuilding revenues for the first nine months of 2013 included $5.8 million from land sales, which resulted in pretax earnings of $1.6 million, compared to homebuilding revenues for the first nine months of 2012 that included $3.9 million from land sales, which resulted in pretax earnings of $1.6 million.
New orders increased 38.1 percent to 5,834 units for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from new orders of 4,226 units for the same period in 2012. The Company had an average monthly sales absorption rate of 2.5 homes per community for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, versus 2.2 homes per community for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and an average cancellation rate of 17.1 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, versus 19.4 percent for the same period in 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, new order dollars increased 61.3 percent to $1.8 billion from $1.1 billion for the first nine months of 2012.
Housing gross profit margin was 20.3 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 18.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This improvement in housing gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a relative decline in direct construction costs; lower inventory valuation adjustments and option deposit write-offs; and higher leverage of direct overhead expense, which was due to an increase in the number of homes delivered and to a higher average closing price, partially offset by increased land costs. For the first nine months of 2013, sales incentives and price concessions totaled 7.1 percent of housing revenues, compared to 10.0 percent for the same period in 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expense totaled 12.5 percent of homebuilding revenues for the first nine months of 2013, compared to 15.7 percent for the first nine months of 2012. This decrease in the selling, general and administrative expense ratio was primarily attributable to higher leverage that resulted from increased revenues.
The homebuilding segments recorded $8.1 million of interest expense during the first nine months of 2013, compared to $11.0 million during the first nine months of 2012. This decrease in interest expense from the first nine months of 2012 was primarily due to the capitalization of a greater amount of interest incurred during the first nine months of 2013, which resulted from a higher level of inventory under development, partially offset by an overall increase in interest incurred on senior notes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the financial services segment reported pretax earnings of $18.0 million, compared to pretax earnings of $7.0 million for the same period in 2012. This improvement was primarily attributable to increases in locked loan pipeline, which was partly due to an acceleration in the timing of loan locks during the period, and origination volumes and to higher title income, partially offset by a rise in personnel and indemnification expenses.
DEFERRED TAX ASSET VALUATION ALLOWANCE
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company reversed $187.5 million of its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, which was calculated on an annual basis. After the reversal, the Company had a valuation allowance of $46.4 million against its deferred tax assets, which represented an estimation of the allowance required for the second half of 2013.
CORNELL HOMES ACQUISITION
In July 2013, the Company acquired the operations and assets of Cornell Homes, one of the Philadelphia market’s largest private homebuilders. This acquisition, which included 95 homes sold and available for delivery, 8 decorated models and 1,896 additional lots for future sale, provides the Company with ongoing operations in the Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania tri-state area. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were 114 new orders and 22 closings related to this acquisition included in the results of operations.
EARNINGS GUIDANCE
Based on the assumption that market conditions will be consistent with recent months, the Company is projecting for the fourth quarter of 2013 homebuilding revenues of approximately $665.0 million and earnings per diluted share ranging from $1.10 to $1.20 per share. Additionally, community count is estimated to increase by approximately 15 percent in 2014.
