Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We are pleased to report a 20% improvement in our new contracts when compared to last year's third quarter, along with a 90 basis point sequential improvement in our adjusted operating gross margin compared to this year's second quarter. We achieved these results despite continued weakness and challenges in the general economy and housing industry. Our new communities significantly contributed to our improved new contracts and adjusted gross margin with 60% of our homes delivered during the quarter coming from new communities. Year-to-date, we have opened 37 new communities, and we plan to open ten additional new communities by year end. We are also pleased to report a reduction in our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue when compared to 2010's third quarter and our ninth consecutive
quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. "
Mr. Schottenstein, continued, "While we are making progress on a number of fronts, economic conditions continue to be uncertain. We will thus continue to manage cautiously while taking advantage of opportunities and investments that we believe will improve our business. We ended the quarter with $93 million of cash, no outstanding borrowings under our $140 million homebuilding credit facility, and a 40% net debt to net capital ratio. We are confident that our strategy and market position will allow us to continue making progress as we strive to return to profitability."

Adjusted operating gross margin, adjusted operating gross margin percentage, adjusted pre-tax (loss) income from operations and adjusted EBITDA 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 write-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.
