DENVER, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --  M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MDC) today reported a net loss for the 2010 second quarter of $3.7 million, or $0.08 per share, compared with a net loss for the 2009 second quarter of $29.6 million, or $0.64 per share.  The improvement in operating results was driven primarily by an increase in home closings.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net loss was $24.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared with a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $70.4 million, or $1.52 per diluted share.  

Management Comments

Larry A. Mizel, MDC's chairman and chief executive officer, stated, "During the second quarter, we successfully executed a strategy designed to capture homebuyer demand in advance of the expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit, resulting in an increase in our home orders year-over-year for the fifth consecutive quarter.  In addition, we are pleased to report strong top-line growth, with revenues up 67% year-over-year on the strength of a 71% increase in home closings."

Mizel continued, "Over the past twelve months, we have secured control of 157 new communities across the country, including 36 in the second quarter alone. These subdivisions provide us with a strong platform for future growth.  However, our outlook remains cautious given the industry-wide slowdown in new home orders in the second quarter immediately following the expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit and the uncertainty surrounding overall economic conditions."

Mizel concluded, "With more than $1.6 billion in cash and investments at the end of the quarter, we are well-positioned to adapt to changing industry conditions.  Even if homebuilding activity remains subdued, we will continue to focus our attention on long-term shareowner value through the pursuit and implementation of improvements to our business processes that will enhance our performance in the future."

Highlights

Home closings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 improved to 1,135 homes with an average selling price of $274,300, compared with home closings of 665 units with an average selling price of $279,000 during the same period in 2009.  The improvement in closings is attributable to a beginning backlog of 1,234 units compared to 629 units in backlog to begin the second quarter of 2009.  Total revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $326.3 million, compared with revenue of $195.3 million for the same period in 2009.  The increase in revenue was primarily driven by a 71% increase in home closings, partially offset by the 2% year-over-year decrease in average selling price.  

Net orders for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 improved to 1,015 homes with an estimated sales value of $281 million, compared with net orders for 977 homes with an estimated sales value of $289 million during the same period in 2009.  The improvement in net orders is attributable to a 25% increase in the average rate of sales per active community, partially offset by a 17% decline in the average number of active communities.  During the second quarter of 2010, the Company's cancellation rate increased to 25% compared with 20% during the same period in 2009.  We ended the 2010 second quarter with 1,114 homes under contract with an estimated sales value of $351 million, compared with a backlog of 941 homes with an estimated sales value of $295 million at June 30, 2009.  

Home gross margin in the 2010 second quarter was 18.1%, virtually unchanged as compared with 18.0% in the 2009 second quarter.  However, excluding interest expense and warranty adjustments, home gross margin increased to 20.2% in the second quarter of 2010 as compared with 16.8% in the second quarter of 2009.  The improvement was primarily the result of an increase in net option revenue, relative to home sales revenue, combined with a reduction in construction costs relative to home sales revenue.  Both the increase in average upgrade revenue and the decrease in construction costs were driven by the Company's efforts to build smaller, more efficient homes that can be personalized based on homebuyer preference.  These improvements partially were offset by an increase in land costs relative to home sales revenue from 12.3% in the 2009 second quarter to 20.6% in the 2010 second quarter.

SG&A increased to $67.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared with $52.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by an $8.2 million increase in marketing and commissions costs directly related to the increased closings, combined with a $6.8 million increase in general and administrative costs associated with increased salaries and benefits.  No asset impairments were incurred during the quarter, compared with $1.2 million incurred in the second quarter of 2009.
