LIQUIDITY AND INVENTORY AS OF APRIL 30, 2016: 

  • After paying off $233.5 million of debt that matured in October 2015 and January 2016, total liquidity at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $125.6 million. 
  • During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, land and land development spending was $186.7 million compared with $108.1 million in last year’s second quarter and $116.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. 
  • As of April 30, 2016, the land position, including unconsolidated joint ventures, was 34,997 lots, consisting of 15,622 lots under option and 19,375 owned lots, compared with a total of 37,140 lots as of April 30, 2015. 
  • During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, approximately 800 lots, including unconsolidated joint ventures, were put under option or acquired in 22 communities. 
  • Subsequent To The End Of The Second Quarter  
    • Closed on land sale transactions to exit the Minneapolis, MN and Raleigh, NC markets. 
    • Closed on seven communities in the first tranche of a new joint venture with funds managed by GTIS Partners LP. 
    • Due to the above actions, total liquidity increased by an aggregate of $75.1 million.
    • Paid $86.5 million principal amount of debt that matured in May 2016.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE: 

  • Assuming no changes in current market conditions and after the impact from exiting two markets, our guidance for all of fiscal 2016 for total revenues is expected to be between $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $200 million and $225 million and income before income taxes, excluding land related charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and other non-recurring items such as legal settlements, is expected to be between $25 million and $50 million for all of fiscal 2016.

COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT: 

“While our revenue grew 40% and Adjusted EBITDA increased over 220%, as we said last quarter, we remain focused on deleveraging our balance sheet and maximizing our profitability rather than on additional growth,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Along with increasing our land and land development spend during the second quarter to $187 million, we have taken the steps we outlined in March to increase our cash position and paid off the $87 million principal amount of debt that matured on May 15, 2016. Since October 15, 2015, we have paid off $320 million of debt. More importantly, we continue to believe that we will have the liquidity to pay off the remaining debt maturities through the end of 2017. We are certain that we are taking the correct steps that will best position our company for future success. While it is discouraging to report a loss for the first half of fiscal 2016, it is nevertheless a significantly reduced loss, and we anticipate our profitability in the second half of the year will more than offset this loss.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES: 

Consolidated earnings before interest expense and income taxes (“EBIT”) and before depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and before inventory impairment loss and land option write-offs (“Adjusted EBITDA”) are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net loss. The reconciliation for historical periods of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is presented in a table attached to this earnings release. 

Loss Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Loss Before Income Taxes. The reconciliation for historical periods of Loss Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges to Loss Before Income Taxes is presented in a table attached to this earnings release. 

With respect to our expectations under “Financial Guidance” above, for Adjusted EBITDA and Income Before Income Taxes Excluding Land-Related Charges a reconiciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measures is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to land-related charges excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. We expect the variability of these charges to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results. 

Total liquidity is comprised of $120.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $2.3 million of restricted cash required to collateralize letters of credit and $2.6 million of availability under the unsecured revolving credit facility as of April 30, 2016.
