DENVER

DENVER, Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MDC) today reported a net loss for the 2011 second quarter of $28.0 million, or $0.60 per share, compared with a net loss for the 2010 second quarter of $3.7 million, or $0.08 per share.  

Revenue for the 2011 second quarter decreased 34% to $215.7 million, compared with $326.3 million a year ago.  Prior year results benefited from increased demand related to the federal homebuyer tax credit, which expired during the 2010 second quarter.

Management Comments

Larry A. Mizel, MDC's chairman and chief executive officer, stated, "Over the past two years, we have focused a significant amount of time on land acquisition, which has yielded a 31% year-over-year increase in active subdivisions at the end of the second quarter, setting the stage for top-line growth in the second half of 2011.  We accomplished the increase in active communities both through land purchases in our existing markets and by expanding into the Seattle market through the acquisition of assets from SDC Homes in April. However, as our economy continues to display considerable weakness, it is difficult to justify a significant number of additional land acquisitions in the near-term."

Mizel continued, "As we look at the communities we already own, we see a clear need to focus more closely on our gross profit margins. To start, we have changed our policy on the production of speculative homes, which have yielded margins significantly below those homes that are started with a buyer under contract.  Going forward, in most of our markets, we will start very few speculative homes. As of the end of the second quarter, our supply of these homes had already decreased 44% year-over-year. With our new policy in place, we should see this number continue to decline, and the percentage of our closings attributable to homes sold with a buyer under contract should increase."

Mizel concluded, "Given the headwinds our industry continues to face, we are also focused on reducing our expenses, as demonstrated by headcount reductions and other cost savings measures over the last year that have resulted in a 19% year-over-year decrease in general and administrative expenses.  In the second quarter alone, we eliminated more than 100 positions, which should drive our general and administrative expense even lower in the coming quarters.  In addition, we completed a tender offer in July on approximately $237 million of our senior notes to reduce our interest incurred.  We will continue to focus on cost savings initiatives to the extent necessary to position ourselves for profitability."

Second Quarter Highlights

Home closings in the 2011 second quarter were 709 units, with an average selling price of $290,800, compared with 1,135 units, with an average selling price of $274,300, in the second quarter of 2010.

Home gross margin in the 2011 second quarter was 13.1% as compared with 18.1% in the 2010 second quarter.  This decrease reflects our focus on reducing older aged speculative inventory, and an increase in land costs as we have sought to lower our land risk by primarily purchasing finished lots in prime locations.

During the 2011 second quarter, asset impairments totaled $9.1 million, compared with no asset impairments in the same quarter last year. The impairments related primarily to six subdivisions located in California, Nevada and Utah.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $36.2 million for the 2011 second quarter, compared with $44.6 million for the same period in the prior year.  The primary driver behind the decrease was a $5.0 million decline in salary related costs due to a year-over-year decrease in headcount.

Marketing costs were $9.9 million in the 2011 second quarter, compared with $11.5 million in the 2010 second quarter, primarily due to the year-over-year decrease in home closings, partially offset by an increase in our community count.  Commission costs were $7.5 million as compared with $11.6 million in the same quarter last year, inline with the decrease in revenue we experienced.

Net orders for the 2011 second quarter increased to 1,064 homes with an estimated sales value of $302 million, compared with net orders for 1,015 homes with an estimated sales value of $281 million during the same period in 2010.  

We ended the 2011 second quarter with 1,424 homes under contract with an estimated sales value of $433 million, compared with a backlog of 1,114 homes with an estimated sales value of $351 million at June 30, 2010.

Our estimated home gross margin in backlog at the end of the second quarter did not change materially from the estimated home gross margin in backlog to start the quarter.

Overhead Management

During the 2011 second quarter, the Company and its subsidiaries eliminated more than 100 employees from its workforce.  The Company expects to save approximately $9 million annually as a result of these reductions and incurred $1.2 million of related severance charges during the second quarter.

Tender Offer Results

On July 7, 2011, the Company completed a tender offer on approximately $237 million in aggregate principal amount of its senior notes, which will reduce our annual interest incurred by approximately $14 million, partially offset by a loss of interest income on the cash used to extinguish the debt.  Also, as a result of the tender offer, the Company expects to record an $18.6 million charge associated with the extinguishment of debt during the third quarter.

Enterprise Resource Planning System Update

During the second quarter, we implemented our new enterprise resource planning system in one additional division.  As of June 30, 2011, half of our divisions remained to be upgraded to the new system. This technology platform, when fully implemented, is expected to drive consistency in core processes across divisions, reduce operating costs and provide management with better accessibility to real-time operating data.
