HORSHAM, Pa., June 3, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) (www.tollbrothers.com), the nation's leading builder of luxury homes, today reported final second-quarter and six-month results for the periods ended April 30, 2008.

In FY 2008's second quarter, the Company generated a net loss of $93.7 million, or $0.59 per share diluted, which included pre-tax write-downs of $288.1 million, $85.0 million of which was attributable to joint ventures. After-tax write-downs totaled $174.6 million, or $1.06 per share diluted. Excluding write-downs, FY 2008's second-quarter earnings were $81.3 million, or $0.49 per share diluted. FY 2008's second quarter included $40.2 million (pre-tax) of other income, which was the net additional proceeds received by the Company from a condemnation judgment.

For comparison, FY 2007's second-quarter net income was $36.7 million, or $0.22 per share diluted, including pre-tax write-downs of $119.7 million, ($72.9 million, or $0.44 per share diluted, after-tax). Excluding write-downs, FY 2007's second-quarter earnings were $109.6 million, or $0.66 per share diluted.

In FY 2008's first six months, the Company generated a net loss of $189.7 million, or $1.20 per share diluted, which included pre-tax write-downs of $533.6 million, $112.8 million of which was attributable to joint ventures. After-tax write-downs totaled $324.9 million, or $1.98 per share diluted. Excluding write-downs, FY 2008's six-month earnings were $138.6 million, or $0.84 per share diluted.

For comparison, FY 2007's six-month net income was $91.0 million, or $0.55 per share diluted, including pre-tax write-downs and a $9.0 million first-quarter goodwill impairment, together totaling $225.6 million ($137.4 million, or $0.84 per share diluted, after-tax). Excluding write-downs, FY 2007's six-month earnings were $228.4 million or $1.39 per share diluted.

For FY 2008's second quarter, total revenues of $818.8 million were 30% lower than FY 2007's second-quarter total of $1.17 billion. For FY 2008's first six months, total revenues of $1.66 billion were 27% lower than FY 2007's same-period total of $2.27 billion.

FY 2008's backlog at second-quarter-end of $2.08 billion was 50% lower than FY 2007's second-quarter-end backlog of $4.15 billion and 13% lower than FY 2008's first-quarter-end backlog of $2.40 billion.

FY 2008 second-quarter gross contracts of $730.5 million and 1,237 homes were 49% and 39% lower, respectively, than FY 2007's second-quarter totals of $1.44 billion and 2,031 homes. In FY 2008's second quarter, the Company had 308 cancellations totaling $234.1 million, compared to 384 cancellations totaling $274.7 million in FY 2007's second quarter. FY 2008 second-quarter net contracts (after cancellations) totaled 929 homes, or $496.5 million, which were lower by 44% in units and 58% in dollars than FY 2007's second-quarter results of 1,647 net contracts, or $1.17 billion.

The average price per unit of gross contracts signed in FY 2008's second quarter was $590,000, compared to $711,000 in FY 2007's second quarter, and $634,000 in FY 2008's first quarter. The lower average price was due to a combination of factors: higher incentives; a product mix which included a higher percentage of contracts from active adult and other lower priced communities; and fewer sales in high-priced markets such as California, where the market has slowed significantly, and Manhattan, where the Company is temporarily sold out of available inventory. The average price per unit of the second-quarter FY 2008 cancellations was $760,000. The effect of these cancellations, coupled with the factors above, was to reduce the average price of net contracts in FY 2008's second quarter to $534,000 per unit. This compared to $580,000 and $557,000, respectively, in FY 2008's first quarter and FY 2007's fourth quarter, and $710,000 in FY 2007's second quarter.

FY 2008 six-month net contracts totaled 1,576 homes, or $871.5 million, a decline of 41% in units and 55% in dollars, compared to FY 2007's same period results of 2,674 net contracts, or $1.92 billion.

The Company's net-debt-to-capital ratio(1) at April 30, 2008 stood at 22.7%, its lowest level ever, compared to 31.8% one year ago. The Company, which has continued to renegotiate and, in some cases, reduce its optioned land positions, ended FY 2008's second quarter with 51,800 lots owned and optioned, compared to 91,200 at its peak at the end of the second quarter of FY 2006. The Company ended FY 2008's second quarter with 300 selling communities, compared to 315 at 2008's first-quarter-end and its peak of 325 at FY 2007's second-quarter-end. The Company expects to be selling from 290 communities by fiscal-year-end 2008.

(1) Net debt-to-capital is calculated as total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash, divided by total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash plus stockholders' equity.

Robert I. Toll, chairman and chief executive officer, stated: "Maintaining a strong balance sheet is among our top priorities as we persevere through these tough times. We hope to position ourselves for opportunities that should arise from this continuing severe down-cycle. We finished our second quarter with a record-low 22.7% net-debt-to-capital ratio, and over $2.5 billion of available capital, comprised of over $1.23 billion of cash plus over $1.27 billion available under our bank credit facility, which expires in 2011.

"Demand continues to be weak in most markets as our clients worry about selling their existing homes or entering the market before prices stabilize. In this difficult market, we continue to develop incentive strategies, when appropriate, on a community-by-community basis, which has enabled us to continue to generate pre-write-off profits. Although this strategy has resulted in slower sales, we believe it has helped sustain the reputation of our communities and value for our home buyers.

"We believe Congress should jump-start demand for new homes with an initiative that will bring buyers off the sidelines and into the market, and thereby stop the downward spiral of home prices. As we have said before, we favor a tax incentive for all those who buy homes within nine months of the Bill's passage; this would create a sense of urgency. Interest rates are low, supply is abundant and a buyer's market prevails. With a little motivation, the new home market could turn around, which would have a very positive impact on banks, bond prices and many other areas of the economy. Once home prices stabilize, Congress could then more successfully address mortgage issues; however, without stabilization of home prices, trying to address mortgage issues may be difficult at best."
