Shea Homes Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results

Walnut, Calif., August 10, 2012

Shea Homes, one of America’s largest private homebuilders, recently reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Three Months Ended 6/30/12 Highlights, Commentary and Comparisons to Three Months Ended 6/30/11

 

 

Total revenues were $132.5 million compared to $114.9 million, a 15% increase.

 

 

Total gross margin was 18.5% compared to 8.8%, a 110% increase. There were no inventory impairments in 2012 compared to $9.7 million, or 8% of revenues, in 2011.

 

 

Home sales were 587 compared to 410, a 43% increase. Active selling communities averaged 63 and 79 in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

   

Home sales per community were 9.3 homes or 3.1 per month in 2012 compared to 5.2 homes or 1.7 per month in 2011, a 79% increase.

 

   

Cancellation rate was 14% compared to 18%.

 

 

Homes closed were 307 compared to 273, a 12% increase.

 

 

House revenues were $127.1 million* compared to $111.1 million*, a 14% increase.

 

 

Average selling price of homes closed was $414,000 compared to $407,000, a 2% increase primarily attributable to price increases in several communities in our Northern California and South West segments and a shift to higher-priced homes in our Southern California and Northern California segments.

 

 

House gross margin was 19.5%* compared to 17.5%*, an 11% increase primarily attributable to the aforementioned increase in average selling price of homes closed.

 

 

SG&A expense was $21.8 million compared to $19.4 million and primarily attributable to higher direct selling costs associated with higher house revenues, higher legal expenses associated with our tax court case on our use of the completed contract method and increased incentive compensation costs, offset by a decrease in model home amortization costs. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense was 16.4% compared to 16.9% in 2011.

 

 

Other (expense) income, net was $(8.4) million compared to $0.8 million and was primarily attributable to an $8.2 million loss in the current quarter on an actuarial adjustment to our ultimate loss estimate to be paid on completed operations policies that were reinsured in 2009. However, the estimated ultimate loss under these policies at this time does not exceed the policy limits reinsured.

 

 

Net loss attributable to Shea Homes was $12.1 million compared to $101.1 million. The loss in 2011 was primarily attributable to an $88.3 million loss on debt extinguishment in May 2011. In addition, in 2012 we experienced a $14.4 million improvement in gross margin, offset by the $8.2 million loss on the aforementioned actuarial adjustment, $1.5 million increased interest expense (due to fewer assets qualifying for interest capitalization), $2.3 million increased SG&A expense and $1.5 million increased income tax expense.

 

 

Interest incurred was $16.7 million compared to $17.6 million primarily attributable to a lower effective interest rate associated with our $750.0 million senior secured notes issued in May 2011 (8.9%) compared to our previously outstanding indebtedness (10.6%) which was restructured in November 2010 and included higher yield subordinated debt, loan restructuring fees and amortization of loan discounts. Interest expense was $5.9 million compared to $4.4 million, a 35% increase due to fewer assets qualifying for interest capitalization.

 

 

Cash, restricted cash and investments at June 30, 2012 was $283.8 million compared to $314.5 million at December 31, 2011, primarily from direct construction costs and land acquisitions (see Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on page 6).

Backlog units at June 30, 2012 were 1,002 compared to 745 at June 30, 2011, a 34% increase.

 

   

Backlog sales value was $392.5 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $318.5 million at June 30, 2011, a 23% increase.

 

   

Backlog average selling price was $392,000 at June 30, 2012 compared to $427,000 at June 30, 2011, an 8% decrease.

Bert Selva, President and CEO, stated: “We continued to experience strong results in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 2011, including a 43% increase in new home orders and a 79% increase in new home orders per community. In addition, house closings and revenues were up 12% and 14%, respectively, and house gross margins improved 114 basis points to 18.3% for the quarter. We’ve also experienced a consistent flow of well-qualified new homebuyer traffic in all of our markets, which has resulted in our backlog growing to 1,002 homes, up 34% over last year.”

Average selling price of homes closed was $418,000 compared to $401,000, a 4% increase primarily attributable to price increases in several communities in our Northern California and South West segments and a shift to higher-priced homes in our Southern California, Mountain West and South West segments.

 

 

House gross margin was 20.1%* compared to 17.7%*, a 14% increase primarily attributable to the aforementioned increase in average selling price of homes closed.

 

 

SG&A expense was $39.4 million compared to $35.9 million and primarily attributable to higher direct selling costs associated with higher house revenues, higher legal expenses associated with our tax court case on our use of the completed contract method and increased incentive compensation costs, offset by a decrease in model home amortization costs. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense was 16.5% compared to 19.0% in 2011.

 

 

Other (expense) income, net was $(6.1) million compared to $2.4 million and was primarily attributable to a $7.4 million loss in the current year on an actuarial adjustment related to our ultimate loss estimate to be paid on completed operations policies that were reinsured in 2009. However, the estimated ultimate loss under these policies at this time does not exceed the policy limits reinsured.

 

 

Net loss attributable to Shea Homes was $12.5 million compared to $109.4 million. The loss in 2011 was primarily attributable to an $88.3 million loss on debt extinguishment in May 2011. In addition, in 2012 we experienced a $24.4 million improvement in gross margin, offset by the $7.4 million loss on the aforementioned actuarial adjustment, $3.9 million increased interest expense (due to fewer assets qualifying for interest capitalization), $3.5 million increased SG&A expense and $1.1 million increased income tax expense.

 

 

Interest incurred was $33.3 million compared to $37.2 million and primarily attributable to a lower effective interest rate associated with our $750.0 million senior secured notes issued in May 2011 (8.9%) compared to our previously outstanding indebtedness (10.5%) which was restructured in November 2010 and included higher yield subordinated debt, loan restructuring fees and amortization of loan discounts. Interest expense was $12.2 million compared to $8.3 million, a 46% increase due to fewer assets qualifying for interest capitalization.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(in thousands)

(unaudited)

In this earnings release, we utilize certain financial measures and ratios, including Adjusted EBITDA, that in each case are not recognized under GAAP. These measures are presented as we believe they and similar measures are widely used as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance and financing structure and, in certain cases, because those measures could be used to determine compliance with contractual covenants. These measures are useful because they eliminate from our operating results the impact of certain non-recurring income and expense items, which may facilitate comparability. They may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and are not measurements under GAAP, nor should they be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following reconciles revenues, cost of sales and gross margins, as reported, to adjusted revenues, cost of sales and gross margins, which excludes impairment charges, interest in cost of sales, land sales and other transactions:
