"Sinking consumer confidence, excess foreclosure inventory and continued very tight mortgage availability put dramatic downward pressure on the homebuilding market," said President and Chief Executive Richard J. Dugas Jr.
The home builder reported a net loss of $338.2 million, or $1.33 a share, compared with a year-ago loss of $874.7 million, or $3.46 a share.
The latest results included $380 million of pretax impairments and other land-related charges, while year-ago results included $509 million in impairments.
Revenue tumbled 43% to $1.65 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters projected a loss of 71 cents a share, including the impairments, on revenue of $1.44 billion. In October, the company declined to provide a fourth-quarter guidance, citing a high degree of volatility in the housing industry and overall economy. Net new-home orders in the quarter slumped 61% to 1,763 homes. Closings decreased 37% to 5,474 as the average sales price declined 13% to $278,000. The backlog as of Dec. 31 was valued at $631 million, or 2,174 homes, down from $2.5 billion, or 7,890 homes, a year earlier.

ReplyDeleteI'm Serenity Autumn , currently living in Texas city, USA. I am a widow at the moment with Four kids and I was stuck in a financial situation in May 2019 and I needed to refinance and pay my bills. I tried seeking loans from various loan firms both private and corporate but never with success, and most banks declined my credit. But as God would have it, I was introduced to a woman of God a private loan lender who gave me a loan of 850,000.00 USD and today am a business owner and my kids are doing well at the moment, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan without collateral , no credit check, no co signer with just 2% interest rate and better repayment plans and schedule, please contact Mr Pedro On Email pedroloanss@gmail.com He doesn't know that I am doing this but I am so happy now and I decided to let people know more about him and also I want God to bless him more.
