SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AV Homes, Inc. (Nasdaq:AVHI), a developer and builder of active adult and conventional home communities in Arizona, Florida and North Carolina, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2013. AV Homes reported third quarter revenue of $35.0 million, a 22% increase from $28.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. Net loss to stockholders for the third quarter of 2013 improved to $1.9 million, from a loss of $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2012.
For loss per share calculation purposes, net loss attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2013 was $13.8 million, or $0.86 per share, which includes a reduction of $11.9 million, or $0.74 per share, for deemed dividends related to the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature embedded in the convertible preferred stock issued in connection with the $135 million investment made by TPG in June. This non-cash item was recorded in accordance with ASC 470-20 and has no net impact on total stockholders' equity or book value. This compares to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $11.6 million, or $0.92 per share, in the third quarter of 2012.
President and Chief Executive Officer Roger A. Cregg said the Company continues to generate momentum on its strategy to increase revenues, improve gross margins, leverage its overhead expense and expand its geographic footprint. "Despite the slower market conditions the industry experienced in the third quarter as a result of the higher mortgage rates, increasing home prices and the political uncertainty in Washington, our order rates improved over the prior year on fewer community counts," Cregg said.
The increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year period was driven by strong volume increases and improved pricing. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company closed on 147 homes, a 79% increase from the 82 homes closed during the third quarter of 2012. The dollar value of the closings reported in the third quarter of 2013 increased 83% to $31.9 million, from $17.4 million during the third quarter of 2012 as the average unit price per closing rose to $217,000 from $212,000 in the third quarter of 2012.
The number of new housing contracts signed, net of cancellations, during the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased 5% to 104 units, compared to 99 units during the same period in 2012. The dollar value of the contracts signed during the third quarter increased 6% to $26.2 million, compared to $24.6 million during the same period one year ago. The backlog of homes under contract but not yet closed at September 30, 2013 increased 17% to 233 units, representing a dollar volume of $58.2 million, compared to 200 units with a dollar volume of $48.5 million at September 30, 2012.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported $0.7 million in revenue from the sale of commercial, industrial and other land, which generated $0.6 million in operating income to the Company compared to $8.7 million in revenue and $0.4 million in operating income during the third quarter of 2012.
During the third quarter 2013, the Company recorded two non-recurring items. The Company changed its plans to sell certain assets in Florida resulting in a reclassification of the assets from held for sale to land held and used. Accordingly, a $0.9 million credit was recorded to reverse the previous impairment charge. Secondly, the Company made a correction to the amount of interest that was capitalized, resulting in an additional $1.6 million of capitalized interest recorded in the third quarter 2013 that related to prior quarters in 2013.
Results for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2013
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported a net loss to common stockholders of $11.3 million, on revenues of $89.7 million, compared to a net loss to common stockholders of $31.4 million, on revenues of $74.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
For loss per share calculation purposes, the 2013 year to date net loss attributable to common stockholders was $23.2 million, or $1.67 per share, which includes the reduction of $11.9 million, or $0.85 per share, for deemed dividends related to the recognition of a beneficial conversion embedded in the convertible preferred stock issued in connection with the $135 million investment made by TPG in June. This compares to a loss attributable to common shareholders of $31.4 million, or $2.50 per share, in the third quarter 2012.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported 310 home closings, a 52% increase from the 204 homes closed during the first nine months of 2012, and a corresponding increase in the dollar volume of closings during the nine months of 2013 to $71.8 million, a 58% increase from $45.5 million in the same period of 2012. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, the average unit price per closing increased 4% to $232,000, from $223,000 as reported for the same period one year ago.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported 358 new housing contracts signed, net of cancellations, a 17% increase over the 306 contracts signed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The dollar value of the contracts signed during the first nine months of 2013 increased 19% to $86.1 million as compared to $72.4 million in the same period of 2012.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported revenue from the sale of commercial, industrial and other land of $9.6 million, generating $4.2 million in operating income, compared to $20.8 million of revenue and $5.2 million of operating income in the same period during 2012.
