Guidance:

The Company expects FY 2016 fourth quarter deliveries of between 2,025 and 2,325 units with an average price of between $815,000 and $835,000. This range results in projected full FY 2016 deliveries of between 5,900 and 6,200 units with an average delivered price of between $840,000 and $850,000. This would result in FY 2016 revenues of between $4.96 billion and $5.27 billion, up approximately 19% to 26% over FY 2015.

Due primarily to a shift in its mix of deliveries, the Company now expects its full FY 2016 Adjusted Gross Margin to be between 25.6% and 25.8% of revenues, which is 30 basis points below the mid-point of its previous guidance.

The Company’s full FY 2016 Other income and Income from unconsolidated entities is now expected to be between $88.5 million and $93.5 million, down from its previous guidance of $105 million to $130 million, as some of the closings of sold units in joint ventures originally projected for this fourth quarter will instead be delivered early in FY 2017.
