DENVER, Friday, October 29, 2010 — M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MDC) today reported a net loss for the 2010 third quarter of $10.2 million, or $0.22 per share, compared with a net loss for the 2009 third quarter of $32.0 million, or $0.69 per share. The improvement in operating results was driven primarily by an increase in home closings, average selling price and home gross margin. The Company also benefited from reduced general and administrative expenses and increased interest income.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net loss was $34.8 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared with a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $102.5 million, or $2.21 per diluted share.
Management Comments
Larry A. Mizel, MDC’s chairman and chief executive officer, stated, “During the third quarter, the pace of our sales slowed, reflecting a continued low level of demand following the expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit in the second quarter. However, we are pleased to report our second consecutive quarter of top-line growth, with revenue up 11% year-over-year on the strength of a 10% increase in home closings.”

Mizel continued, “Since we first resumed significant land acquisition activity in the second half of 2009, we have secured control of 184 new communities across the country, including 27 in the third quarter alone. As a result, our lot supply increased 39% year-over-year to nearly 12,000, with the majority of the growth coming from lots controlled under option with minimal capital at risk. Our acquisition activity also drove a year-over-year increase in our active subdivision count for the first time since the third quarter of 2007, and we have started home construction or sales in a significant number of additional communities that have not yet reached active subdivision status.”
Mizel concluded, “We believe that our achievements in adding new subdivisions to our operating platform, combined with our focused effort to improve business processes and procedures across the Company, provide us with a unique opportunity to drive future growth. With $1.6 billion in cash and investments at the end of the quarter, which exceed total debt by more than $350 million, we are well-positioned for continued expansion into new projects, even if overall market conditions remain weak. ”
Highlights
Home closings for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 improved to 722 homes with an average selling price of $299,900, compared with home closings of 659 units with an average selling price of $283,500 during the same period in 2009. The improvement in closings is attributable to an increase in beginning backlog to 1,114 units, compared with 941 units in backlog to begin the third quarter of 2009. Total revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $225.7 million, compared with revenue of $203.2 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by a 10% increase in home closings and a 6% year-over-year increase in average selling price.
Net orders for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 decreased to 796 homes with an estimated sales value of $231 million, compared with net orders for 1,016 homes with an estimated sales value of $272 million during the same period in 2009. The decrease in net orders is attributable to a 19% decrease in the average rate of sales per active community. Active subdivisions increased slightly to 142 at September 30, 2010, compared with 137 at the same time in 2009. In addition, 64 new communities are close to reaching active status, while only 38 active subdivisions are nearing inactive status.
During the third quarter of 2010, the Company’s cancellation rate increased to 30%, compared with 23% during the same period in 2009. We ended the 2010 third quarter with 1,188 homes under contract with an estimated sales value of $368 million, compared with a backlog of 1,298 homes with an estimated sales value of $383 million at September 30, 2009.
Home gross margin in the 2010 third quarter was 20.9% as compared with 18.9% in the 2009 third quarter. Excluding interest expense and warranty adjustments, home gross margin increased to 20.2% in the third quarter of 2010 as compared with 16.9% in the third 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 redesigned homes comprised 53% of our home closings during the third quarter of 2010, compared with only 17% in the same quarter in 2009. These improvements partially were offset by an increase in land costs relative to home sales revenue from 16.8% in the 2009 third quarter to 21.8% in the 2010 third quarter.
The home gross margins in our backlog at September 30, 2010 are lower than the margins we achieved in the 2010 third quarter. The decrease is attributable to sizeable incentives used to drive a higher sales velocity, especially for older homes in our inventory.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $39.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared with $45.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was driven primarily by a $7.3 million decline in the expense we recognized related to expected loan losses and a $3.3 million decrease in fees related to our homebuilding line of credit, which was terminated in the second quarter of 2010. These improvements were partially offset by a $5.1 million increase in employee compensation and other employee-related benefits, which was in part caused by the hiring of employees engaged in the acquisition and opening of new communities.
Marketing and commissions costs increased to $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared with $16.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, directly related to the Company’s increased home sales revenue. Other operating expenses, which relate primarily to the write-off of pre-acquisition costs and deposits on lot option contracts that we choose not to exercise, declined to $0.8 million for the quarter, compared with $3.6 million in the same quarter in 2009. The Company also recognized $3.7 million of asset impairments during the quarter, compared with $1.2 million incurred in the third quarter of 2009.
