Larry A. Mizel, MDC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “During the first quarter, to start the spring selling season, we were pleased to see an overall improvement in homebuilding industry conditions across most of our markets. Our net new orders increased 29% year-over-year, driven by increases in both our absorption rate and active community count. Furthermore, we were able to increase prices in many of our active communities across the country, helping to offset cost increases experienced over the past few quarters.”
Mizel continued, “We succeeded in reducing our supply of spec inventory during the quarter, consistent with the objective we outlined in prior periods. By offering increased incentives on aged spec homes, we decreased our spec homes per active community by more than 40% year-over-year. The additional incentives adversely impacted our gross margin for the first quarter, but the reduction in aged spec inventory was an important step toward improving our gross margin in the future.”
Mr. Mizel concluded, “The dollar value of our quarter-end backlog increased by 46% year-over-year, giving us a foundation for solid performance in the coming quarters. Looking forward to our prospects further out, we believe we are well prepared for growth, with a strong balance sheet, overall liquidity of $825 million and no senior note maturities until 2020. Although our land acquisition activity has been relatively light over the past couple quarters, we have recently seen an uptick in our pipeline of new proposed land acquisitions, which provides the potential for additional home closings in 2016 and beyond.”

Homebuilding
Home sale revenues for the 2015 first quarter increased 18% to $377.0 million, compared to $318.5 million for the prior year period. The increase in revenue was driven by a 14% increase in average selling price, mostly due to a mix shift to higher-priced submarkets, and a 4% increase in the number of homes closed.
Gross margin from home sales for the 2015 first quarter was 15.4%, compared with 18.5% for the year earlier period and 16.3% for the 2014 fourth quarter. The 310 basis point year-over-year decline was driven by higher incentives utilized to reduce aged spec inventory and by higher land and construction costs. Sequentially, gross margin from home sales was down 90 basis points primarily due to an increased use of incentives to reduce aged spec inventory. Gross margin from home sales excluding inventory impairments and interest in cost of sales was 18.8%* for the 2015 first quarter versus 22.2%* for the year earlier period and 20.0%* for the 2014 fourth quarter.
SG&A expenses were $50.5 million for the 2015 first quarter, up $2.2 million from the 2014 first quarter of $48.3 million. The increase in SG&A expenses was largely attributable to a $1.7 million increase in commission expenses, due to an increase in home sale revenues, and a $2.6 million increase in marketing expenses, due to the increase in our active communities. These increases were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in our general and administrative expenses, mostly due to lower compensation-related and legal expenses. Despite the slight increase in SG&A expenses, our SG&A expense as a percentage of home sale revenues decreased by 180 basis points to 13.4% for the 2015 first quarter versus 15.2% for the same period in 2014.
Interest and other income of $1.9 million for the 2015 first quarter decreased by $11.7 million from $13.5 million in the first quarter 2014. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the gain on sales of marketable securities in the 2015 first quarter, as the overall volume of marketable securities sold decreased year-over-year. In addition, interest income declined due to a year-over-year reduction in our overall marketable securities held. We sold the marketable securities in the 2014 first quarter in part to fund our extinguishment of $250 million in Senior Notes due December 2014, which also resulted in a $9.4 million early extinguishment of debt charge during the 2014 first quarter.
The dollar value of net new orders for the 2015 first quarter increased 43% to $666.5 million from $466.0 million for the same period in 2014. The improvement was driven by a 29% increase in unit volume, resulting primarily from an 18% growth in our absorption rate and an 11% improvement in the average selling price of net new home orders to $418,400, compared to $377,000 for the same period in 2014, due mostly to a change in mix of new orders. Our cancellation rate for the 2015 first quarter was 17%, down from 19% in the same period in the prior year.
M.D.C. HOLDINGS, INC.
Our backlog value at the end of the 2015 first quarter was up 46% year-over-year to $952.9 million. The increase was driven primarily by a 36% increase in units in backlog to 2,203 units, due mostly to the net new order activity discussed above, coupled with an 8% increase in the average selling price of homes in backlog which was driven by a shift in mix.
Financial Services
Income before taxes from our financial services operations for the 2015 first quarter was $5.3 million, up $0.2 million compared to $5.1 million for the 2014 first quarter. The improvement, mostly from our mortgage operations, was due to slight increases in the volume of and gains on loans locked and sold.
