HORSHAM, Pa., May 24, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) (www.tollbrothers.com), the nation's leading builder of luxury homes, today reported results for net income, revenues, backlog and contracts for its second quarter and six months ended April 30, 2007.
FY 2007's second-quarter net income was $36.7 million, or $0.22 per share diluted, compared to FY 2006's second-quarter record of $174.9 million, or $1.06 per share diluted. In FY 2007, second-quarter net income was reduced by after-tax write-downs of $72.9 million, or $0.44 per share diluted. In FY 2006, second-quarter after-tax write-downs totaled $7.3 million, or $0.04 per share diluted. Excluding write-downs, FY 2007's second-quarter earnings were $0.66 per share diluted compared to $1.10 in FY 2006's second quarter.
FY 2007's six-month net income was $91.0 million, or $0.55 per share diluted, compared to FY 2006's same period record results of $338.8 million, or $2.04 per share diluted. In FY 2007, six-month net income was reduced by after-tax write-downs and a first-quarter goodwill impairment totaling $137.4 million, or $0.84 per share diluted. In FY 2006, six-month after-tax write-downs totaled $8.0 million, or $0.05 per share diluted. Excluding write-downs and the goodwill impairment charge, FY 2007's six-month earnings were $1.39 per share diluted compared to $2.09 in FY 2006's first six months.
FY 2007's second-quarter total revenues were $1.17 billion compared to the second-quarter record of $1.44 billion in revenues in FY 2006. FY 2007's six-month total revenues were $2.27 billion compared to the six-month record of $2.78 billion in FY 2006. FY 2007's second-quarter-end backlog was $4.15 billion compared to the second-quarter record of $6.07 billion in FY 2006.
FY 2007's second-quarter net signed contracts were $1.17 billion, a decline of 25% compared to FY 2006's second-quarter total of $1.56 billion. The Company signed 2,031 contracts (before cancellations) in FY 2007's second quarter, a 14% decline from the 2,372 signed in FY 2006's second quarter. Net of cancellations, second-quarter contracts totaled 1,647 units, down 24% from 2,167 units in the second quarter of FY 2006. Second-quarter FY 2007 cancellations totaled 384 units versus 436 units in first-quarter FY 2007 and 585 units in fourth-quarter FY 2006; FY 2007's second-quarter cancellation rate of 18.9% was lower than the first-quarter FY 2007 cancellation rate of 29.8% and the 36.9% cancellation rate in the fourth-quarter FY 2006. However, the cancellation rate was still well above the Company's historical average of approximately 7%. FY 2007's six-month net contracts were $1.92 billion compared to FY 2006's six-month total of $2.70 billion.
In response to current market conditions, the Company continues to reevaluate and, in some cases, renegotiate its optioned land positions. The Company ended FY 2007's second quarter with approximately 65,800 lots owned and optioned compared to approximately 91,200 and 68,000 at the second-quarter-ends of FY 2006 and FY 2005, respectively.
Robert I. Toll, chairman and chief executive officer, stated: "We continue to operate conservatively in the current difficult climate. We ended the quarter with over $550 million in cash (compared to about $400 million one year ago) and more than $1.1 billion available under our bank credit facility. In the past year we have trimmed our lot position by 28% from our high of 91,200 lots to our current 65,800 lots. We have reduced our net debt to capital ratio(1) to 32% today from 37% at FY 2006's second-quarter-end. We believe our prudent approach to managing our balance sheet should position us well in this down market and provide us sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in the future.
"We continue to seek a balance between our short-term goal of selling homes in a tough market and maximizing the value of our communities. Many of our communities are on sites in locations that are difficult to replace and in markets where approvals are increasingly difficult to achieve. We believe that many of these communities have substantial embedded value, realizable in the future, that should not be sacrificed in the current soft market.
"In what generally remains a soft market, there are glimmers of strength in certain territories. Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens in New York City, and Jersey City and Hoboken, are strong. Southern Connecticut and Dutchess County, New York are also good. The Philadelphia suburbs, and Delaware, are solid. Raleigh, Austin and Dallas are holding up well as are parts of Northern California, primarily around Silicon Valley."
Joel Rassman, chief financial officer, stated: "Given the uncertainty surrounding sales paces, and market direction and, thus, the potential for and size of future impairments, we are not comfortable giving full earnings guidance at this time. However, we expect to deliver between 6,100 and 6,900 homes in FY 2007 and expect to produce total home building revenues (including percentage of completion revenues) of between $4.26 billion and $4.88 billion in FY 2007. For our third quarter, which ends July 31, 2007, we expect to deliver between 1,400 and 1,800 homes and produce home building revenues of between $990 million and $1.28 billion."
Prior to its conference call this afternoon at 12:00 Noon (EDT), the Company will file a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission outlining its guidance assumptions in greater detail.
(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.
