NEWPORT BEACH, CA—November 4, 2009—William Lyon Homes today reported a net loss of $11,637,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net loss of $41,096,000 for the comparable period a year ago. Consolidated operating revenue decreased 34% to $67,213,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $102,168,000 for the comparable period a year ago.
The Company reported a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $41,251,000 compared to net loss of $80,832,000 for the comparable period a year ago. Consolidated operating revenue decreased 44% to $213,959,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with $379,694,000 for the comparable period a year ago.
The Company incurred impairment losses on real estate assets of $21,910,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 with no comparable amount in the 2009 period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred impairment losses on real estate assets of $24,171,000 and $68,028,000, respectively. The impairments were primarily attributable to slower than anticipated home sales and lower than anticipated net revenue due to depressed market conditions in the housing industry. The future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated were determined to be less than the carrying amount of the assets. Accordingly, the real estate assets were written-down to their estimated fair value.
The Company’s consolidated results including joint ventures were as follows: The number of homes closed for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was 227 homes, down 1% from 230 homes closed for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The number of homes closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 617, down 28% from 852 homes closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Net new home orders for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 7% to 246 homes, compared to 264 homes for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The average number of sales locations during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was 24, down 38% from 39 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s number of new home orders per average sales location increased to 10.3 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 6.8 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Net new home orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were 697 homes, down 34% from 1,053 homes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The average number of sales locations during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 26, down 43% from 46 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s number of new home orders per average sales location decreased to 26.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 22.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The Company’s cancellation rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was 19% compared to 33% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s cancellation rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 21%, compared to 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
At September 30, 2009, the backlog of homes sold but not closed totaled 320 homes, down 33% from 480 homes at September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2009, the dollar amount of backlog of homes sold but not closed totaled $81,179,000, down 51% from $165,085,000 at September 30, 2008, and up 9% from $74,183,000 at June 30, 2009.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the average sales price of homes closed (including joint ventures) was $245,700, down 33% from $368,700 for the comparable period a year ago. The lower average sales price was primarily due to price depreciation in certain markets resulting from competitive pressures and a change in product mix.
The consolidated homebuilding gross margin percentage increased to 12.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from 5.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. These higher gross margin percentages were primarily due to home closings in projects where previous impairment losses had been incurred.
Effective on January 1, 2008, the Company and its shareholders made a revocation of the “S” corporation election. As a result of this revocation, the Company will be taxed as a “C” corporation. The shareholders will not be able to elect “S” corporation status for at least five years. The revocation of the “S” corporation election will allow taxable losses generated in 2008 to be carried back to the 2006 “C” corporation year. As a result of the change in tax status, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset and related income tax benefit of $41,602,000 as of January 1, 2008. The recorded deferred tax asset reflected the tax refund for the anticipated carry back of the estimated 2008 tax loss to 2006 as a result of the reversal of temporary differences in 2008. The Company received the tax refund in early 2009. In addition, the Company has unused built-in losses of $19,414,000 which are available to offset future income and expire between 2010 and 2011. The Company’s ability to utilize the foregoing tax benefits will depend upon the amount of its future taxable income and may be limited under certain circumstances.
Selected financial and operating information for the Company including joint ventures is set forth in greater detail in a schedule attached to this release.

As previously reported, on October 20, 2009, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement that provides a first lien secured loan of up to $206 million, secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company (excluding stock in William Lyon Homes, Inc., the Borrower) and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries. The net proceeds of the $131 million first installment of the loan were used to repay the Company’s revolving credit facilities and to repurchase, in a privately negotiated transaction, $72,511,000 principal amount of its outstanding Senior Notes at a cost of approximately $50,757,000 plus accrued interest. The Company expects to use the remaining proceeds from the first and second installments for general corporate purposes and opportunistic land acquisition.
