Larry A. Mizel, MDC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We advanced the efficiency of our build-to-order operating model during the first quarter, as demonstrated by the strength of our financial results. An improved conversion rate, coupled with a larger backlog to start the quarter, drove a 43% year-over-year increase in home sale revenues and a significant gain in operating leverage. As a result, our first quarter net income increased to $22.2 million, more than double the level of the same quarter a year ago.”
Mr. Mizel continued, “Strong performance from both our homebuilding and financial services operations has greatly benefited our returns, with our last twelve months return on equity for the 2017 first quarter expanding by 350 basis points year-over-year to 8.9%. We achieved this improvement in returns without losing focus on the balance sheet, which features a unique combination of low leverage, carefully managed exposure to homebuilding assets, and liquidity of nearly $1.0 billion. Our efforts directed at prudently managing our financial position were recently recognized with an upgrade to our ratings outlook from Standard & Poor’s in April.”
Mr. Mizel concluded, “Our more affordable collections of home plans continue to be a key focus as we look to expand in most of our markets across the country. The demand for this product is encouraging, bolstering our view that first-time homebuyers should serve as a significant source of growth for new home sales nationwide. Some uncertainty remains because of potential changes in policy from the new administration, but we remain optimistic about the future of the homebuilding industry, supported by a solid macroeconomic environment and favorable dynamics in the balance between housing supply and demand.”
Homebuilding
Home sale revenues for the 2017 first quarter increased 43% to $563.5 million, primarily driven by a 38% increase in deliveries, which was mostly the result of a 24% year-over-year increase in our homes in beginning backlog and a 500 basis point year-over-year increase in our backlog conversion rate.
For the 2017 first quarter, our gross margin from home sales was 15.9% a 40 basis point decrease from 16.3% in the prior year period. The 2017 first quarter included $4.9 million of inventory impairments while our 2016 first quarter included $3.0 million of expense to adjust our warranty accrual.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the 2017 first quarter were $66.3 million, up $10.0 million from $56.3 million for the same period in 2016. Our SG&A rate improved by 250 basis points to 11.8% for the 2017 first quarter from 14.3% in the 2016 first quarter. This decrease in our SG&A rate was primarily the result of our increase in home sale revenues and, to a lesser extent, a $2.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation.
The dollar value of net new orders for the 2017 first quarter increased 3% year-over-year to $750.0 million. The improvement was the result of a 3% increase net new order activity as our monthly sales absorption pace increased 8% year-over-year. Strong demand for our more affordable home plans was one of the key drivers of the increase in absorption pace. The positive impact of our improved monthly sales absorption pace was partially offset by a 4% year-over-year decrease in our average active community count.
Our backlog value at the end of the 2017 first quarter was up 11% year-over-year to $1.59 billion. The improvement was due mostly to an 8% increase in the number of units in backlog, which was primarily the result of (1) strong sales activity over the last-twelve months and, (2) slightly extended cycle times in certain of our larger markets.
Financial Services
Income before taxes for our financial services operations for the 2017 first quarter was $11.0 million, a $5.4 million increase from $5.6 million in the 2016 first quarter. This improvement was primarily driven by our mortgage operations segment, which had (1) year-over-year increases in the dollar value of loans locked, originated, and sold, and (2) higher gains on loans locked and originated.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we had effective income tax rates of 38.8% and 33.0%, respectively. The year-over-year increase in our effective tax rate was primarily the result of (1) our 2016 first quarter estimate of our full year effective tax rate including an estimate for energy credits whereas our estimate for the 2017 full year includes no such estimate as a credit for 2017 has not been approved by the U.S. Congress and (2) establishment of a valuation allowance against certain state net operating loss carryforwards where realization is more uncertain at this time.
