During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported $6.6 million in revenue from the sale of commercial, industrial and other lands, which generated $2.2 million in net income to the Company compared to $3.0 million in revenue and $1.6 million in net income during the second quarter of 2012. For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported revenue from the sale of commercial, industrial and other lands of $8.9 million, generating $3.6 million in net income.
President and Chief Executive Officer Roger A. Cregg said the Company continues to show sequential and comparable period improvements as a result of the strengthening housing market and reductions in operating costs. "As mentioned last quarter, we continue to focus on driving margin improvement while growing our business. We are seeing increased activity in both of our homebuilding segments and across both of our primary markets, Florida and Arizona, in the form of traffic and new contracts," Cregg said. "We are benefitting from our inventory of lots and land in Central Florida and are being opportunistic with our long term land positions there by moving up development schedules to bring new stores to market sooner," Cregg added.
Mr. Cregg went on to discuss the new opportunities provided by its recent equity infusion by an affiliate of TPG Capital. "We are now in a position to more quickly capitalize on new land opportunities including finished lot positions in both of our current markets to accelerate our revenue growth ahead of bringing our new raw land positions on line. In addition, it will allow us to fill our pipeline with other potential land acquisitions including our own previously undeveloped properties that will help increase sales volumes and our return to profitability."
