We materially reduced our pre-tax operating loss from $19.3 million in 2009 to $7.7 million in 2010 on essentially the same number of homes delivered, our gross margins improved 140 basis points to 16.7% and our selling, general and administrative expenses declined $4 million in the fourth quarter when compared to 2009's same period. We were also pleased to see our fourth quarter new contracts increase by 3% over last year's fourth quarter. In addition, we had our sixth consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA and we maintained our strong balance sheet and liquidity.”
Mr. Schottenstein continued, “We are excited about the new communities that we opened in 2010 and those that we plan to open in 2011. Specifically, during 2010 we opened 41 communities with the majority located in our Washingt on, D.C., Chicago, Raleigh and Charlotte markets. In 2011, we expect to open 40 additional communities, including several in our newly opened Houston, Texas market - ending 2011 with approximately 120 active communities compared to 110 at the start of the year. We also made progress in the execution of a number of key initiatives. In particular, our customer service scores improved in all of our markets and we were extremely pleased to be ranked first by J.D. Power in both customer satisfaction and new home quality in Washington D.C, and first in new home quality in Tampa.”
Mr. Schottenstein, concluded, “As we enter 2011, we are confident that our strategy and market position will allow us to co ntinue making progress as we strive to return to profitability.”

Adjusted operating gross margin, adjusted operating gross margins %, adjusted pre-tax loss from operations, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted cash flows provided by operating activities are non-GAAP financial measures. Management finds these measures to be useful in evaluating the Company's performance because they disclose the financial results generated from homes the Company actually delivered during the period, as the asset impairments and certain other writ e-offs relate, in part, to inventory that was not delivered during the period. They also assist the Company's management in making strategic decisions regarding the Company's future operations. The Company believes investors will also find these measures to be important and useful because they disclose financial measures that can be compared to a prior period without regard to the variability of asset impairments and certain other write-offs and unusual charges. In addition, to the extent that the Company's competitors provide similar information, disclosure of these measures helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare the Company's financial results to the results of its competitors with regard to the homes they deliver in the same period. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in methods of calculation and charges being excluded. ; Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance measures prescribed by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is also presented in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit facility.
