PR Newswire
DENVER

DENVER, Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MDC) announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

2017 Second Quarter Highlights and Comparisons to 2016 Second Quarter

  • Net income up 26% to $33.9 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, from $26.9 million or $0.52 per diluted share*
  • Home sale revenues up 13% to $647.6 million from $571.2 million
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sale revenues ("SG&A rate") improved 40 basis points from 11.3% to 10.9%
  • Dollar value of net new orders of $710.6 million versus $722.5 million
    • Monthly sales absorption pace of  3.41 improved 2%
  • Ending backlog dollar value up 4% to $1.68 billion from $1.61 billion
  • Approved 3,342 lots for purchase in 44 communities
  • Last twelve months return on equity improved 340 basis points to 9.3%

*Per share amount for 2016 second quarter has been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend declared and paid in the 2016 fourth quarter.

Larry A. Mizel, MDC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to announce our 2017 second quarter results, highlighted by a 26% year-over-year increase in our net income. For the second consecutive quarter, we realized a year-over-year improvement in our backlog conversion rate, which helped to drive a double-digit increase in home sale revenues and improved operating leverage. The improved backlog conversion rate was achieved based on stabilizing build-to-order construction cycle times, which decreased sequentially for the first time in almost two years."

Mr. Mizel continued, "Income for both our homebuilding and financial services operations increased for the 2017 second quarter, driving a seventh consecutive quarter of improvement to our last twelve months return on equity, which expanded by 340 basis points year-over-year. We achieved this improvement without losing focus on the balance sheet, which features a unique combination of low leverage, carefully managed exposure to homebuilding assets, and liquidity of nearly $1.0 billion."

Mr. Mizel concluded, "With our returns rising, we have focused increasingly on sourcing new communities to drive future growth for our core homebuilding business.  In the second quarter alone, we approved more than 3,300 lots for acquisition, far exceeding the activity for any other quarter in the past three years. Our acquisition activities have maintained a focus on affordability, given the success of our more affordable SeasonsTM product line, which is now selling in four states and accounted for just over 10% of total net new orders in the quarter. Overall, our outlook for the homebuilding industry remains positive, supported by a solid macroeconomic environment and favorable dynamics in the balance between housing supply and demand."

Homebuilding

Home sale revenues for the 2017 second quarter increased 13% to $647.6 million, primarily driven by an 11% increase in deliveries, which was mostly the result of an 8% year-over-year increase in our homes in beginning backlog coupled with a 100 basis point improvement in our backlog conversion rate.

For the 2017 second quarter, our gross margin from home sales percentage was 16.8%, a 40 basis point improvement from 16.4% in the prior year period. Our 2016 second quarter included $1.6 million, or 30 basis points, of inventory impairments while our 2017 second quarter included no such inventory impairments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2017 second quarter were $70.7 million, up $6.3 million from $64.4 million for the same period in 2016 primarily due to increased compensation-related expenses driven by higher average headcount. Our SG&A rate improved by 40 basis points to 10.9% for the 2017 second quarter from 11.3% in the 2016 second quarter. This decrease in our SG&A rate was primarily the result of an increased ability to leverage our fixed overhead as a result of our increase in home sale revenues.

The dollar value of net new orders for the 2017 second quarter decreased 2% year-over-year to $710.6 million, as a 4% decline in our average active community count was partly offset by a 2% increase in our monthly sales absorption pace.

Our backlog value at the end of the 2017 second quarter was up 4% year-over-year to $1.68 billion. The improvement was due to both a 2% increase in the number of units in backlog and a 2% increase in the average selling price. The increase in the number of units in backlog was driven by strong sales activity during the past twelve months. Price increases implemented in the past twelve months drove the increase in average selling price, but the price increases were slightly offset by the lower selling price of our more affordable homes.

Financial Services

Income before taxes for our financial services operations for the 2017 second quarter was $11.7 million, a $2.7 million increase from $9.1 million in the 2016 second quarter. This improvement was due to increased profitability in our mortgage operations segment as a result of (1) year-over-year increases in the dollar value of loans locked, originated, and sold, and (2) higher gains on loans locked and originated. In addition, we realized higher income before taxes from our other financial services subsidiaries as a result of the increase in new home deliveries.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we had effective income tax rates of 34.7% and 33.5%, respectively. The year-over-year increase in our effective tax rate was primarily the result of our estimate of the full year effective tax rate for 2016 including an estimate for energy credits whereas our estimate for the 2017 full year includes no such energy credit as the credit has not been approved by the U.S. Congress.
