increased in the fourth quarter of 2020 to 6,060 units, which was
14% higher than the fourth quarter of 2019. New orders and
settlements in the fourth quarter were favorably impacted by robust
demand attributable to historically low mortgage rates and lower
resale inventory levels. The Company's backlog of homes sold but
not settled as of December 31, 2020 increased on a unit basis
by 40% to 11,549 units and increased on a dollar basis by 46% to
$4,575,899,000 when compared to
December 31, 2019.
Homebuilding revenues of $2,263,673,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020
increased by 16% compared to homebuilding revenues of $1,946,859,000 in the fourth quarter of
2019. Gross profit margin was 19.5% in both the fourth
quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2019. Income before
tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $323,591,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020, an
increase of 20% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.
New orders for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased
by 18% to 23,082 units, when compared to 19,536 units in 2019, and
were favorably impacted by the robust demand discussed above.
Settlements of 19,766 units for the year ended December 31, 2020 were relatively flat compared
to 19,668 units settled in 2019. Homebuilding revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2020 totaled $7,328,889,000, which was 2% higher than 2019.
Gross profit margin was 19.0% for both the year ended

homebuilding segment increased 2% for the year ended
December 31, 2020 to $937,960,000, compared to $923,879,000 in 2019.
Mortgage Banking
Mortgage closed loan production in the fourth quarter of 2020
totaled $1,659,219,000, an increase
of 17% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Income
before tax from the mortgage banking segment totaled $61,779,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020, an
increase of 145% when compared to $25,257,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019.
This increase is due primarily to the increase in closed loan
volume and an increase in secondary marketing gains on sales of
loans.
Mortgage closed loan production for the year ended
December 31, 2020 increased 3% to $5,317,811,000. Income before tax from the
mortgage banking segment for the year ended December 31, 2020
increased 37% to $140,073,000 from
$101,916,000 in 2019.
Effective Tax Rate
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2020 increased to 20.9% and 16.4%,
respectively, compared to 13.3% and 14.4% for the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The effective
tax rates for the 2019 fourth quarter and full year were favorably
impacted by the retroactive reinstatement of certain expired energy
tax credits under The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act,
which resulted in the Company recognizing a tax benefit of
approximately $15,100,000 in the
fourth quarter of 2019 related to homes settled in 2018 and
2019. The Company recognized energy tax credits of
approximately $3,000,000 and
$10,200,000 for the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2020,
respectively.
Additionally, the effective tax rate in each period in 2020 and
2019 was favorably impacted by the recognition of an income tax
benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises
totaling $11,891,000 and $92,234,000 for three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2020, respectively, and $14,657,000 and $101,466,000, for the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
Other Matters - COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on all facets
of our business. Our primary focus as we face this challenge
is to do everything we can to ensure the safety and well-being of
our employees, customers and trade partners. We are currently able
to operate in all of the markets we serve. In each of our markets,
we continue to operate in accordance with the safety guidelines
issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as
state and local guidelines.
There continues to be uncertainty regarding the extent and
timing of disruption to our business that may result from COVID-19
and related governmental actions. There is also uncertainty
as to the effects of economic relief efforts on the U.S. economy,
unemployment, consumer confidence, demand for our homes and the
mortgage market, including lending standards and secondary mortgage
markets. We are unable to predict the extent to which this will
impact our operational and financial performance including the
impact of future developments such as the duration and spread of
COVID-19, corresponding governmental actions, and the impact of
such on our employees, customers and trade partners.
