As a cautionary note to investors, certain matters discussed in this management's discussion and analysis are forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such matters involve risks and uncertainties, including changes in economic conditions and interest rates, increases in raw material and labor costs, weather conditions, and general competitive factors that may cause actual results to differ materially.
Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 1998
Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1999, decreased by 1.4%, to $58.0 million, from $58.8 million for the comparable period of 1998. Included in the current quarter was revenue from land sales of $2.3 million versus none in the prior year period. The number of homes closed by the Company decreased by 6.9% to 339 homes for the three months ended December 31, 1999, from 364 homes during the same period in 1998. The average selling price of a home increased 1.7% to $164,300, during the three months ended December 31, 1999 from $161,500 for the comparable period in 1998. This increase was due to an overall increase in prices for homes sold by the Company.
Gross profit decreased by .1%, to $8.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999, from $8.7 million for the comparable period of 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 14.9% from 14.8% primarily as a result of the sale of land in the current quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 3.1% to $6.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 1999, from $6.4 million for the comparable period of 1998. The decrease is a result of the lower revenues in the current quarter versus the prior period. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 10.7% for the three month period ended December 31, 1999, from 10.9% for the same period in 1998.
Interest expense increased to $718,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999, from $669,000 for the comparable period in 1998. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to an increase in borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility for the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the three months ended December 31, 1998. The Company capitalizes certain interest costs for land development and includes such capitalized interest in cost of home sales when the related homes are delivered to purchasers.
The Company's effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 41%, which reflects the federal statutory rate plus state taxes, net of federal income tax benefit.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998
Net sales for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, decreased by 2.9%, to $168.9 million, from $173.9 million for the comparable period of 1998. Included in the current period was revenue from land sales of $2.3 million versus none for the prior year period. The number of homes closed by the Company decreased by 9.7%, to 1017 homes for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, from 1126 homes during the same period in 1998. The average selling price of a home increased 6.0% to $163,800, in 1999 from $154,500 for the same period in 1998. This increase was due to an overall increase in prices for homes sold by the Company.
Gross profit decreased by 1.2%, to $25.0 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, from $25.3 million for the comparable period of 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 14.8% from 14.5%, primarily as a result of higher selling prices during the current year due to strong market conditions partially offset by lower revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 2.1%, to $19.3 million in the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, from $18.9 million for the comparable period of 1998. The increase is due to increased marketing and advertising costs as a result of preopening costs for the large number of new communities opening for sale over the last nine months. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 11.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, from 10.8% for the same period in 1998.
Interest expense decreased to $1,887,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, from $2,086,000 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the Company's lower borrowing needs for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The Company capitalizes certain interest costs for land development and includes such capitalized interest in cost of home sales when the related homes are delivered to purchasers.
The Company's effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 41%, which reflects the federal statutory rate plus state taxes, net of federal income tax benefit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1999, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.
The Company's financing needs depend primarily upon sales volume, asset turnover, and land acquisition and inventory balances. In December 1994, the Company issued $25 million of 12.11% Senior Notes payable and in February 1996, the Company issued an additional $10 million of 9.42% Senior Notes payable (collectively referred to as the "Senior Notes"). Proceeds were used to retire certain mortgage notes payable and for working capital purposes. During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company paid an additional 0.5% of interest on each of the senior notes. Monthly payments of varying amounts are due on the Senior Notes through December 2003.
At December 31, 1999, the Company also had a $35.0 million revolving credit facility from a commercial lender. Borrowings under this facility's line of credit totaled $28.9 million at December 31, 1999. The Company has the capacity as of December 31, 1999 to borrow an additional$5.0 million of short-term debt, if otherwise available, without violating the terms of the Senior Notes. The Company believes those amounts available under its existing borrowing arrangements (assuming extensions and renewals of debt in the ordinary course of business) and amounts generated from operations will provide funds adequate for its home building activities and debt service.
The Company has generally been able to secure financing for its acquisition, development and construction activities, and management believes such arrangements will continue to be available on terms satisfactory to the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that continued financing for land acquisitions will be available or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory to the Company.
Year 2000 Issues
Management believes that the Company's core selling and construction operations are largely unautomated and would continue uninterrupted even in the event of Year 2000 problems. As for accounting and administration, the Company has already upgraded its software, which has been tested and found to be Year 2000 compliant.
The manufacturer of the computer system on which Rottlund central accounting and management information systems resides has certified that its hardware and operating system software are Year 2000 compliant. The Company's applications software has been tested in the course of normal maintenance. Equipment and software peripheral to Rottlund's central system are being tested for Year 2000 compliance. Any replacements or upgrades required have been completed.
The cost and timing of upgrades to hardware and software corrections are not deemed to be materially different than normally scheduled upgrades. Expenditures to date and future expenditures are not expected to exceed $100,000.
Management's contingency plans, which are intended to enable the Company to continue to operate normally, include performing some procedures manually, changing suppliers, if necessary, and repairing or obtaining replacement systems.
Inflation
The Company, as well as the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher land, material and labor costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates may significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective purchasers. The Company attempts to pass through to its customers any increase in its costs through increased selling prices, and to date, inflation has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. However, there is no assurance that inflation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's future results of operations.
