Larry A. Mizel, MDC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am pleased to announce a second quarter profit of $4.56 per diluted share, our sixth consecutive quarterly operating profit, with net income improving by $214.3 million over the prior year. Our favorable results were significantly impacted by a $187.6 million tax benefit related to the reversal of a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, stemming from our return to consistent profitability and an improving housing market. Additionally, our homebuilding results again improved significantly, as volume and gross margin gains drove both year-over-year and sequential improvements in our homebuilding pretax operating margin to 7.4%.”
Mr. Mizel continued, “During the second quarter of 2013, the pace of our new home sales remained strong. Our monthly absorption rate of 3.2 net new home orders per active community was up 23% year-over-year and at our highest level since 2006, even as we increased prices in most of our subdivisions to regulate the pace of sales and maximize profitability. And although interest rates rose significantly toward the end of the quarter, we believe that the impact of increasing interest rates on new homes sales can be offset by the positive influence of other factors impacting new home demand, including low existing home inventories, attractive levels of overall affordability, and continued improvements in employment levels and consumer confidence.”
Mr. Mizel concluded, “Our active community count steadied in the second quarter, increasing slightly after five consecutive sequential quarterly declines. We continue to believe that we are poised to increase our active community count by at least 10% from current levels by the end of the year. Our confidence in achieving this goal is rooted in the success we have experienced in acquiring new land over the past year. During the 2013 second quarter alone, we purchased approximately 2,800 lots, our highest level of land acquisition activity since 2006. We ended the quarter with more than 14,700 lots controlled, an increase of 16% from the end of the 2013 first quarter and 44% year-over-year. We believe that we control enough lots to drive meaningful gains in both net orders and closings volume for 2014, provided that market conditions remain favorable for the industry.”
Homebuilding
Home sale revenues for the 2013 second quarter increased 56% to $400.3 million compared to $256.5 million for the prior year period. The increase in revenues resulted from a 37% increase in homes delivered to 1,183 homes as compared to 861 in the prior year and a 14% increase in the Company’s average selling price to $338,400. The increase in average selling price was largely due to price appreciation and lower incentives in many of our markets.
Gross margin from home sales for the 2013 second quarter increased to 18.1% from 14.2% for the year-earlier period. On a sequential basis, our 2013 second quarter gross margin from home sales was up 70 basis points as compared to 17.4% for the 2013 first quarter. The increase was attributable to the Company’s continued focus on increasing pricing and decreasing incentives as its markets improved since the start of 2012.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues decreased by 230 basis points to 13.0% for the 2013 second quarter versus 15.3% for the same period in 2012. The improvement was the result of operating leverage created by the Company’s 56% year-over-year increase in home sale revenues, which far outpaced a year-over-year increase in the Company’s absolute level of SG&A expenses, and was slightly offset by a year-over-year increase in legal expenses driven by various significant legal recoveries in the 2012 second quarter which did not recur in the 2013 second quarter.
Net new orders for the 2013 second quarter decreased 4% to 1,351 homes, compared to 1,402 homes during the same period in 2012, largely due to a 21% decrease in the Company’s active average community count. However, the Company’s monthly sales absorption rate for the 2013 second quarter rose 23% to 3.2 per community, compared to 2.6 per community for the 2012 second quarter and 3.0 for the 2013 first quarter. The Company’s cancellation rate for the 2013 second quarter was 19% versus 20% in the prior year second quarter and 18% in the 2013 first quarter.
The Company ended the 2013 second quarter with 2,095 homes in backlog, with an estimated sales value of $784.2 million, compared with a backlog of 2,028 homes with an estimated sales value of $657.5 million at June 30, 2012, a 19% increase in dollar value.
At June 30, 2013, the Company had 140 active subdivisions, which was up slightly from 139 at March 31, 2013, and represented a reversal of its previous trend of sequential quarterly decreases in community count. In addition, as a result of the significant increase in our land acquisition activity in the latter half of 2012 and the first half of 2013, the Company’s lots owned and under option increased by 44% year-over-year and 16% since March 31, 2013 to more than 14,700 lots. The Company believes that these significant increases in lots owned and under option will further increase its active community count during the second half of 2013.
Financial Services
Income before taxes from our financial services operations for the 2013 second quarter was $8.2 million, compared to $6.7 million for the 2012 second quarter. The increase in pretax income primarily reflected a $1.1 million increase in our mortgage operations pretax income to $6.9 million for the 2013 second quarter, compared to $5.8 million in the 2012 second quarter. The improvement in our mortgage profitability was driven primarily by year-over-year increases in the volume of loans locked and originated due to increases in new home deliveries from our homebuilding operations.
Income Taxes
During the 2013 second quarter, we realized a $187.6 million income tax benefit related to the reversal of a substantial portion of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Our remaining deferred tax asset valuation allowance at June 30, 2013 was $39.7 million and related to (1) the remaining interim periods of 2013 during which a portion of the remaining valuation allowance will be reversed as pretax income is realized as required by U.S. GAAP and (2) various state net operating loss carryforwards where realization is more uncertain at this time due to the more limited carryforward periods that exist in certain states.
