Scott Stowell, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "I am pleased with our solid financial performance in 2014, the third most profitable year in Standard Pacific Homes' 50-year history." Mr. Stowell added, "Our 2014 results reflect our strong land position and the continued execution of our strategy, with full year pretax income, home sale revenues and backlog value up 36%, 25% and 14%, respectively."

Revenue. Revenues from home sales for the 2014 fourth quarter increased 21%, to $724.3 million, as compared to the prior year period, resulting primarily from a 10% increase in the Company's average home price to $491 thousand, the highest quarterly average home price in Company history, and a 10% increase in new home deliveries. The increase in average home price was primarily attributable to a shift to more move-up product and general price increases within a majority of the Company's markets. The increase in new home deliveries compared to the prior year period was driven primarily by a 21% increase in deliveries from the Company's Southwest region where the Company's average active selling communities grew 23%, and a 14% increase from the Company's California region.

Orders. Net new orders for the 2014 fourth quarter were up 11% from the 2013 fourth quarter, to 978 homes, with the dollar value of these orders up 18%. The Company's monthly sales absorption rate was 1.8 per community for the 2014 fourth quarter, up 5% from the 2013 fourth quarter and down 15% compared to the 2014 third quarter. The 15% decrease in sales absorption rate from the 2014 third quarter to the 2014 fourth quarter was favorable compared to the approximately 20% decrease in sales absorption rate we have typically experienced from the third quarter to the fourth quarter over the last 10 years. The Company's cancellation rate for both the 2014 and 2013 fourth quarter was 21%, compared to 19% for the 2014 third quarter. Our 2014 fourth quarter cancellation rate is consistent with our average historical cancellation rate of approximately 22% over the last 10 years.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 14% to $916.4 million, or 1,711 homes, compared to $800.5 million, or 1,700 homes, for the 2013 fourth quarter, and decreased 19% compared to $1.1 billion, or 2,208 homes, for the 2014 third quarter. The increase in year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by a 14% increase in the average selling price of the homes in backlog, reflecting the continued execution of our move-up homebuyer focused strategy and a favorable pricing environment in select markets.

Land. During the 2014 fourth quarter, the Company spent $255.9 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $216.0 million for the 2013 fourth quarter. The Company purchased $172.3 million of land, consisting of 1,937 homesites, of which 38% (based on homesites) is located in California, 31% in Florida, 16% in Texas, 12% in Colorado, and 3% in the Carolinas. As of December 31, 2014, the Company owned or controlled 35,430 homesites, of which 24,434 were owned and actively selling or under development, 6,458 were controlled or under option, and the remaining 4,538 homesites were held for future development or for sale. The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 4.9 year supply based on the Company's deliveries for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

Liquidity. The Company ended the quarter with $630 million of available liquidity, including $180 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and a $450 million untapped revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment may be increased to a maximum amount of $750 million, subject to the Company's future needs and the availability of additional bank capacity. The Company's homebuilding debt to book capitalization as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 56.0% and 55.6%, respectively, and adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted book capitalization was 53.3%* and 49.9%*, respectively. In addition, the Company's homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 4.5x* and 4.8x*, respectively.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Each of the below measures are non-GAAP financial measures and other companies may calculate such non-GAAP measures differently. Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance measures prescribed by GAAP.

The table set forth below reconciles the Company's gross margin percentage from home sales to adjusted gross margin percentage from home sales, excluding interest amortized to cost of home sales. We believe these measures are useful to management and investors as they provide perspective on the underlying operating performance of the business excluding these charges and provide comparability with the Company's peer group.

The table set forth below reconciles the Company's total consolidated debt to adjusted net homebuilding debt and provides the Company's total consolidated debt to book capitalization and adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization ratios. In addition, the table set forth below calculates homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA. We believe these ratios are useful to management and investors as a measure of the Company's ability to obtain financing. For purposes of the ratio of adjusted net homebuilding debt to total adjusted book capitalization, total adjusted book capitalization is adjusted net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity. Adjusted net homebuilding debt excludes indebtedness of the Company's financial services subsidiary and additionally reflects the offset of cash and equivalents.

The table set forth below calculates EBITDA and Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA. Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA means net income (loss) (plus cash distributions of income from unconsolidated joint ventures) before (a) income taxes, (b) homebuilding interest expense (c) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales, (d) impairment charges and deposit write-offs, (e) (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt (f) homebuilding depreciation and amortization, (g) amortization of stock-based compensation, (h) income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and (i) income (loss) from financial services subsidiary. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA information is useful to management and investors as one measure of the Company's ability to service debt and obtain financing. Adjusted Homebuilding EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by GAAP.
