Homebuilding

New orders in the third quarter of 2009 increased 13% to 2,255 units, compared to 2,002 units in the third quarter of 2008. The cancellation rate in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was 14% compared to 24% in the third quarter of 2008 and 14% in the second quarter of 2009. Settlements decreased in the third quarter of 2009 to 2,671 units, 3% less than the same period of 2008. The Company's backlog of homes sold but not settled at the end of the 2009 quarter decreased on a unit basis by 11% to 4,081 units and on a dollar basis by 19% to $1,210,447,000 as compared to the same period last year.

Homebuilding revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $792,510,000, 15% lower than the year earlier period. Gross profit margins increased to 19.7% in the 2009 third quarter compared to 13.2% for the same period in 2008. The third quarter 2008 gross profit margin results were negatively impacted by a $42,839,000 land deposit impairment charge. Income before tax from homebuilding operations totaled $98,626,000 in the 2009 third quarter, an increase of 74% compared to the third quarter of the previous year.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage closed loan production of $603,317,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was 1% lower than the same period last year. Operating income for the mortgage banking operations during the third quarter of 2009 increased to $14,814,000, compared to $4,072,000 reported for the same period of 2008. Operating income in the current quarter was favorably impacted by an increase in unrealized income from the fair value measurement of locked loan commitments, forward mortgage-backed securities sales and closed loans held for sale, and by a decrease in incentives given to borrowers.
