"In February 2014, we successfully completed our IPO which provided us a solid foundation for growth as we focus on delivering homes from our pipeline of over 5,000 lots," stated Larry Webb, Chief Executive Officer. "We are extremely excited to have produced such strong growth in our business during 2013. The growth in deliveries and profitability was largely aided by the continued expansion of our homebuilding platform and our focus on acquiring and accessing well-located, premium lots in highly desirable California markets. We expect to expand deliveries from our attractive portfolio of wholly owned communities, while we continue to generate attractive returns from our joint ventures and fee building activities.”
Full year 2013 operating results
Total revenues for 2013 were $83.2 million, compared to $55.4 million in 2012. The increase in total revenues were primarily driven by an increase in home sales revenue and fee building revenue. Net income for 2013 was $6.7 million, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million in the prior year. The improvement in net income was primarily driven by increased homebuilding and fee building gross margins and a $4.4 million increase in equity in net income of JVs.
Wholly Owned Projects
Home sales revenue for 2013 was $35.7 million, compared to $24.2 million in 2012, primarily attributable to an increase in the number of new homes delivered to 82, compared to 53 in the prior year. The average selling price of homes delivered was approximately $435,000, compared to $457,000 in the prior year. The change in the average selling price of homes delivered in 2013 reflects a shift in product mix compared to the prior year. The Company expects that the average selling price will continue to vary from year to year due to the mix of product offered and the timing of deliveries from new communities.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage for 2013 was 18.7%, compared to 14.1% in the prior year. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage*, which excludes interest in cost of home sales, was 20.2%, compared to 15.5% in the prior year, mainly attributable to a shift in product mix to higher margin communities. SG&A expense for 2013 was $8.9 million, compared to $6.2 million in the prior year. As a percent of home sales revenue, SG&A was 24.9%
2
for 2013, compared to 25.4% in the prior year, with the improvement largely reflecting a decrease in the amount of outside broker commissions in 2013.
New home orders of 72 for 2013 were unchanged, compared to 72 in the prior year. Active selling communities at the end of 2013 of three were unchanged from three at the end of the prior year. At the end of 2013, the number of homes in backlog was 15, representing approximately $11.9 million of backlog dollar value, compared to 26 homes the prior year, representing approximately $10.6 million of backlog dollar value. The average selling price of homes in backlog at the end of 2013 was $791,000, compared to $407,000 at the end of the prior year. The increase in the average selling price of homes in backlog was primarily the result of a change in product mix, driven by the introduction of sales in a higher priced community.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (JVs)
The Company's share of net income from JVs for 2013 was $4.7 million, compared to $0.3 million in the prior year.
The following sets forth supplemental information about our JVs. Such information is not included in our financial data for GAAP purposes. Home sales revenue of the JVs was $183.0 million and net income was $35.4 million for 2013, compared to $56.0 million and $8.7 million in 2012, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in new home deliveries, which were 148 for 2013, compared to 42 in the prior year. The average selling price of homes delivered by JVs was approximately $1,237,000 compared to $1,334,000 in the prior year. Gross margin percentage generated by the JVs for 2013 was 27.2%, compared to 25.8% in 2012. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage* of the JVs, which excludes interest in cost of home sales, was 29.0%, compared to 28.2% in the prior year.
New home orders in JVs were 156 for 2013, compared to 96 in the prior year. At the end of 2013, the JVs had 62 homes in backlog, representing approximately $42.6 million of backlog dollar value, compared to 54 homes in the prior year, representing approximately $72.9 million of backlog dollar value. The decrease in backlog dollar value reflects a shift in product mix.
Fee Building Projects
Fee building revenue for 2013 was $47.6 million, compared to $28.3 million in the prior year. New Home collects management fees from its JVs for project-related services, which are reported as fee building revenue. Management fees from JVs were $8.3 million for 2013, compared to $2.9 million in the prior year. The increase in fee building revenue in 2013 compared to the prior year is due to an increase in the number of fee building deliveries and management fees from JVs. At the end of 2013, the Company had 11 fee building projects, compared to three at the end of 2012.

Fee building gross margin for 2013 was $5.2 million, compared to $1.7 million in the prior year, mainly attributable to an increase in management fees from JVs.

Fourth quarter 2013 operating results
Total revenues for the fourth quarter 2013 were $24.8 million, compared to $26.7 million in the prior year period. Net income for the fourth quarter 2013 was $3.8 million, compared to $1.5 million, in the prior year period. The improvement in net income was primarily driven by improved homebuilding gross margins and an increase in equity in net income from JVs.
Wholly Owned Projects
Home sales revenue for the fourth quarter 2013 was $10.9 million, compared to $11.9 million in the prior year period and new home deliveries were 23 for both fourth quarter 2013 and 2012. The average selling price of homes delivered was approximately $475,000, compared to $517,000 in the prior year period. The decrease in home sales revenue and change in the average selling price of homes delivered in the fourth quarter 2013 reflects a shift in product mix compared to the prior year period. The Company expects that the average selling price will continue to vary from quarter to quarter due to the mix of product offered and the timing of deliveries from new communities.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter 2013 was 21.4%, compared to 15.4% in the prior year period. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage*, which excludes interest in cost of home sales, was 23.3%, compared to 16.8% in the prior year period, mainly attributable to a shift in product mix to higher margin communities. SG&A expense for the fourth quarter 2013 was $3.5 million, compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. As a percent of home sales, SG&A was 31.9% for the fourth quarter 2013, compared to 15.7% in the prior year period. The increase was largely due to personnel costs arising from the growth in the Company's projects.
New home orders were 6 in the fourth quarter 2013, compared to 21 homes in the prior year period. Active selling communities of three at the end of the period were unchanged from the prior year period.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (JVs)

The following sets forth supplemental information about our JVs. Such information is not included in our financial data for GAAP purposes. Home sales revenue of the JVs was $78.0 million and net income was $15.7 million for the fourth quarter 2013, compared to $56.0 million and $11.3 million in fourth quarter 2012, respectively, primarily attributable to an increase in the number of new homes delivered to 74, compared to 42 in the prior year period. The average selling price of homes delivered in JVs was approximately $1.1 million compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period. Gross margin percentage generated by the JVs for the fourth quarter 2013 was 27.5%, compared to 25.8% in the prior year period. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage* of the JVs, which excludes interest in cost of home sales, was 28.4%, compared to 28.2% in the prior year period.
Our JVs received orders on 45 new homes for the fourth quarter 2013, compared to 21 new homes in the prior year period.
Fee Building Projects
Fee building revenue for the fourth quarter 2013 was $13.9 million, compared to $14.8 million in the prior year period. Management fees from JVs were $3.9 million for the fourth quarter 2013, compared to $1.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease in fee building revenue in the fourth quarter 2013 compared to the fourth quarter 2012 is due to the closeout of one fee building project in 2012, offset partially by several new fee building projects in 2013 that were in the early stages of construction. Fee building gross margin for the fourth quarter 2013 was $2.2 million, compared to $1.1 million in the prior year period, mainly attributable to an increase in management fees from JVs.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
In this earnings release, we utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We present these measures because we believe they, and similar measures, are useful to management and investors in evaluating the company’s operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following tables reconcile homebuilding gross margin percentage, as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the non-GAAP measure adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage. We believe this information is meaningful, as it isolates the impact leverage has on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt-to-capital to the ratio of net debt-to-capital. We believe that the ratio of net debt-to-capital is a relevant financial measure for management and investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain financing.

(2) | The ratio of net debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is notes payable less cash) by the sum of net debt plus members’ equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt-to-capital. We believe the ratio of net debt-to-capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We believe that by deducting our cash from our notes payable, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt-to-capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio net of cash provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered. Investors may also find this to be helpful when comparing our leverage to the leverage of our competitors that present similar information. |

The following table calculates the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles those amounts to net income (loss), as reported and prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA means net income (loss) before (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization and (d) expensing of previously capitalized interest included in costs of home sales. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before non-recurring, non-cash charges, and stock-based compensation expense. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful in measuring the Company’s ability to service debt and obtain financing.
