Scott Stowell, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "I'm pleased with our first quarter results and the start to the spring selling season. With our orders up 20%, backlog value up 29% and the solid improvement we are seeing in our backlog gross margin, 2015 is setting up to be another year of solid growth and performance for the Company."

Orders. Net new orders for the 2015 first quarter were up 20% from the 2014 first quarter, to 1,571 homes, with the dollar value of these orders up 31%. The Company's monthly sales absorption rate was 2.6 per community for the 2015 first quarter, up 5% from the 2014 first quarter and up 49% compared to the 2014 fourth quarter. The increase in sales absorption rate from the 2014 fourth quarter to the 2015 first quarter was above the seasonality we typically experience in our business. The Company's cancellation rate for the 2015 first quarter was 11% compared to 14% for the 2014 first quarter and 21% for the 2014 fourth quarter.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog increased 29% to $1.3 billion, or 2,310 homes, compared to $1.0 billion, or 2,016 homes, for the 2014 first quarter, and increased 41% compared to $916.4 million, or 1,711 homes, for the 2014 fourth quarter. The increase in year-over-year backlog value was driven primarily by a 13% 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.

Revenue. Revenues from home sales for the 2015 first quarter increased 5%, to $468.4 million, as compared to the prior year period, resulting primarily from a 7% increase in the Company's average home price to $482 thousand, partially offset by a 2% decrease 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 decrease in new home deliveries compared to the prior year period was driven primarily by a 14% decrease in deliveries from the Company's California region, partially offset by an 11% increase from the Company's Southwest region.

Gross Margin. Gross margin percentage from home sales for the 2015 first quarter was 24.2%, down 100 basis points from last quarter, consistent with the Company's expectations. As previously disclosed, we anticipate our full year gross margin will be in the 24-25% range.

Land. During the 2015 first quarter, the Company spent $160.1 million on land purchases and development costs, compared to $224.1 million for the 2014 first quarter. The Company purchased $78.5 million of land, consisting of 971 homesites, of which 31% (based on homesites) is located in California, 28% in Texas, 21% in the Carolinas, 19% in Florida, and 1% in Colorado. As of March 31, 2015, the Company owned or controlled 35,183 homesites, of which 24,771 were owned and actively selling or under development, 5,999 were controlled or under option, and the remaining 4,413 homesites were held for future development or for sale. The homesites owned that are actively selling or under development represent a 5.0 year supply based on the Company's deliveries for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2015.

Liquidity. The Company ended the quarter with $516 million of available liquidity, including $81 million of unrestricted homebuilding cash and $435 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment may be increased from $450 million 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 March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 56.0% and 54.9%, respectively, and adjusted net homebuilding debt to adjusted book capitalization was 54.6%* and 51.7%*, respectively. In addition, the Company's homebuilding debt to adjusted homebuilding EBITDA for the LTM period ending March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 4.6x* and 4.5x*, 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 (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 subsidiaries. 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.
