In FY 2008’s third quarter, the Company generated a net loss of $29.3 million, or $0.18 per share diluted, which included pre-tax write-downs of $139.4 million, $33.4 million of which was attributable to joint ventures.

In FY 2008’s first nine months, the Company generated a net loss of $219.0 million, or $1.38 per share diluted, which included pre-tax write-downs of $673.0 million, $146.3 million of which was attributable to joint ventures. After-tax write-downs totaled $412.6 million, or $2.56 per share diluted. Excluding write-downs, FY 2008’s nine-month earnings were $193.6 million, or $1.18 per share diluted.
In FY 2007’s first nine months, net income was $117.5 million, or $0.72 per share diluted, which included pre-tax write-downs and a goodwill impairment which, combined, totaled $372.9 million. After-tax write-downs and goodwill impairment totaled $224.0 million, or $1.36 per share diluted. Excluding write-downs, FY 2007’s earnings were $341.5 million, or $2.08 per share diluted.

FY 2008 third-quarter gross contracts of $588.1 million and 1,007 homes were 40% and 31% lower, respectively, than FY 2007’s third-quarter totals of $972.2 million and 1,457 homes. In FY 2008’s third quarter, the Company had 195 cancellations, the lowest quarterly total in over two years. FY 2008 third-quarter net contracts (after cancellations) totaled 812 homes, or $469.9 million, which was lower by 27% in units and 35% in dollars than FY 2007’s third-quarter results of 1,110 net contracts, or $727.0 million. FY 2008’s nine-month net contracts totaled $1.34 billion, compared to FY 2007’s nine-month net contracts of $2.64 billion.
The Company ended its third quarter with over $1.5 billion in cash and more than $1.3 billion available under its 33-member bank credit facility, which matures in March 2011. Its net-debt-to-capital ratio (1) at July 31, 2008 reached 18.0%, its lowest level ever. The Company, which has continued to renegotiate and, in other cases, reduce its optioned land positions, ended FY 2008’s third quarter with approximately 48,500 lots owned and optioned, down approximately 47% from 91,200 lots at its peak at FY 2006’s second-quarter-end. The Company ended its third quarter with 290 selling communities, down from its peak of 325 at FY 2007’s second–quarter-end, and it expects to be selling from approximately 275 communities by 2008’s fiscal-year-end.
 
(1) Net-debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans and minus cash, divided by total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans and minus cash plus stockholders’ equity.
Robert I. Toll, chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “It appears that per-community traffic and deposits at our sites over the past several months have been stabilizing, albeit at historic lows. We also note that our number of cancellations this quarter, although still greatly elevated from our historic norms, is the lowest in nine quarters. We observe that these indicators have occurred in the face of a particularly difficult year that has included explosive energy price increases, rising unemployment and severe mortgage and credit conditions. Even so, we believe that there is pent-up demand. When we have held promotions, many more buyers than usual have come out and put down deposits.
“We are now completing the third year of the worst housing market since we started in 1967. Weak consumer confidence has kept many potential buyers from taking advantage of the current buyers’ market. Tightened mortgage lending standards have sidelined others. Single-family housing starts have decreased by approximately 65% from their peak in January 2006: Starts now stand at their lowest level since January 1991. We believe that most big public builders have sold off most of their spec inventory, which eventually should help stabilize home prices. However, we currently have to contend with foreclosures as the new low-priced competition.

“Once the supply of foreclosed inventory is exhausted, we believe that favorable demographics will kick in and the housing market in general will begin to recover; unfortunately, we can’t predict when that will occur. These beneficial demographics include a projected continuing increase in household formations and in the number of affluent households, baby-boomer demographics that should provide a basis for greater demand for second homes, a maturing generation of echo boomers who will be positioned to seek the American Dream of home ownership, and a continuing growth in immigration, which should contribute to the demand for housing.
“With our land teams intact and significant capital available, we believe we are prepared, as in prior downturns, to take advantage of opportunities that will arise from the industry’s distress. These resources, combined with our experienced management team, our diverse product lines, our brand name and the tremendous dedication of our associates, position us well as we plan for the future.”

The Company’s share of profits from the delivery of these homes is included in “Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities” on the Company’s Statement of Operations.
 
  •   In FY 2008, third-quarter-end backlog of approximately $1.75 billion decreased 52% from FY 2007’s third-quarter-end backlog of $3.67 billion. In addition, at July 31, 2008, unconsolidated entities in which the Company had an interest had a backlog of approximately $60.4 million.
 
  •   The Company signed 1,007 gross contracts totaling approximately $588.1 million in FY 2008’s third quarter, a decline of 31% and 40%, respectively, compared to the 1,457 gross contracts totaling $972.2 million signed in FY 2007’s third quarter.
 
  •   In FY 2008, third quarter cancellations totaled 195 compared to 308, 257, 417, 347, 384, 436, 585 and 317 in FY 2008’s second and first quarter, FY 2007’s fourth, third, second and first quarters and FY 2006’s fourth and third quarters, respectively. FY 2006’s third quarter was the first period in which cancellations reached elevated levels in the current housing downturn. FY 2008’s third quarter cancellation rate (current-quarter cancellations divided by current-quarter signed contracts) was 19.4% versus 24.9%, 28.4%, 38.9%, 23.8%, 18.9% and 29.8%, respectively, in the second and first quarter of 2008, and the fourth, third, second and first quarters of 2007, and 36.7% and 18.0%, respectively, in FY 2006’s fourth and third quarters. As a percentage of beginning-quarter backlog, FY 2008’s third quarter cancellation rate was 6.4% compared to 9.2% and 6.5% in FY 2008’s second and first quarters, respectively, 8.3%, 6.0%, 6.5% and 6.7% in the fourth, third, second and first quarters, respectively, of FY 2007 and 7.3% and 3.6% in the fourth and third quarters, respectively, of FY 2006.

  •   The Company’s FY 2008 third-quarter net contracts of approximately $469.9 million declined by 35% from FY 2007’s third-quarter contracts of $727.0 million. In addition, in FY 2008’s third quarter, unconsolidated entities in which the Company had an interest signed contracts of approximately $15.2 million.
 
  •   FY 2008’s nine-month net contracts of approximately $1.34 billion declined by 49% from FY 2007’s nine-month total of $2.64 billion. In addition, in FY 2008’s nine-month period, unconsolidated entities in which the Company had an interest signed contracts of approximately $43.2 million.
 
  •   The Company projects it will deliver between 850 and 1,050 homes in FY 2008’s fourth quarter with an average price of between $640,000 and $650,000 per home. This will result in lower revenues in the fourth quarter than in the third quarter. The Company expects cost of sales (before write-downs) to be higher as a percentage of revenues in FY 2008’s fourth quarter than in FY 2008’s third quarter due to higher incentives and slower delivery paces. Because, as described above, FY 2008’s fourth quarter revenues are expected to be lower than FY 2008’s third quarter revenues, the Company believes SG&A as a percentage of revenues will be higher in the fourth quarter than in the third quarter. Consistent with recent policy, the Company will not be issuing earnings guidance at this time.
