ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On November 6, 2007, Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2007. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBIDTA for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before inventory impairments, write-off of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs, stock option expense, interest expense, previously capitalized interest amortized to residential properties cost of sales, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and extraordinary items. In addition, the Company uses the non-GAAP measure of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share represents net income and earnings per share excluding the effects of charges for inventory impairments, write-off of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs and severance charges.
The Company’s management reviews these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance and manage its operations. In addition, since the Company has historically provided non-GAAP results and guidance to the investment community, the Company believes that the inclusion of adjusted EBITDA provides consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the Company’s current and future operating results. The non-GAAP measures included in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 have been reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures as required under SEC rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The Company urges investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and quarterly earnings releases.
