“2016 was a year of continued growth for William Lyon Homes, as we delivered 2,781 homes and achieved homebuilding revenues of $1.4 billion, up 20% and 30%, respectively, and at their highest levels in ten years. Our fourth quarter of 2016 represented another quarter of consistent year-over-year growth across a number of important financial and operational metrics, with homebuilding revenues of $473.2 million, up 19%, new home deliveries of 902 homes, up 11%, average sales price of $524,600, up 7%, and the dollar value of orders of $284.1 million, up 17%. We achievedpre-tax income of $40.4 million for the fourth quarter, up 6%, resulting in net income available to common stockholders of $23.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted share,” said Matthew R. Zaist, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Zaist continued, “We believe that 2017 will represent another year of significant growth for William Lyon Homes. For the full year, we currently expect 2017 results to include deliveries of approximately 3,000 to 3,250 units, home sales revenue of approximately $1.65 billion to $1.75 billion, andpre-tax income before minority interest of approximately $135 million to $150 million. We continue to be focused on our operational initiatives for 2017, which include opening up a number of new key strategic assets to drive results in the back half of the year, maximizing revenue from our existing communities, and improving cost controls at our projects and at the corporate level, while continuing to improve our balance sheet metrics.”
Operating Results
Home sales revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $473.2 million, as compared to $397.2 million in theyear-ago period, an increase of 19%. The increase was driven by an 11% increase in deliveries to 902 homes, compared to 809 in the fourth quarter of 2015, and an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered to $524,600, up 7% from the prior year.
The dollar value of orders for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $284.1 million, an increase of 17%, from $243.8 million in theyear-ago period. Net new home orders for the quarter were 564, up 9% from the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in net new home orders was driven by a 7% increase in community count to 79 average sales locations, from 74 in theyear-ago period, and by a year-over-year increase in the average monthly absorption rate to 2.4 sales per community. At year end, the Company was selling from 81 sales locations. Net new home orders for January 2017 were up 12% year-over-year and up 25% sequentially from December.
The dollar value of homes in backlog was $410.7 million as of December 31, 2016, an increase of 5% compared to $391.8 million as of December 31, 2015. The increase was driven by a 6% increase in ASP in backlog to $560,300 from $530,100 in the fourth quarter of 2015, partially offset by a 1% decline in units in backlog to 733 from 739 in theyear-ago period. In addition, our ASP in backlog as of December 31, 2016 was 7% higher than the ASP of homes closed in the fourth quarter.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage during the fourth quarter of 2016 was 17.0%. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 21.6% during the quarter.
Sales and marketing expense during the fourth quarter of 2016 was 4.5% of homebuilding revenue, compared to 4.8% in theyear-ago quarter, driven primarily by higher homebuilding revenue and leverage on
advertising and marketing costs, partially offset by an increase in outside broker costs, compared to the prior year period. General and administrative expenses were 4.5% of homebuilding revenue, consistent with the prior year, and up in dollars, due in part to certain severance costs associated with divisional personnel changes, earlier than expected expenses related to sales and construction management software systems, and an increase in outside professional services.
Balance Sheet Update
At year end, cash and cash equivalents totaled $42.6 million, real estate inventories totaled $1.8 billion, total assets were $2.0 billion and total equity was $763 million. Total debt to book capitalization was 58.6%, and net debt to net book capitalization was 57.6% at December 31, 2016, compared to 62.2% and 61.1%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.
Share Repurchase Authorization
In addition, the Company is announcing today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of the Company’s Class A common stock, corporate requirements, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements.

(1) | For the periods presented, the Company is reporting in six segments: California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Washington and Oregon. |
(2) | Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. It is used by management in evaluating operating performance and in making strategic decisions regarding sales pricing, construction and development pace, product mix and other operating decisions.
