  • For the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year, our net income was $33.8 million, including net income from discontinued operations of $0.3 million.

Discontinued Operations

Commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company has reclassified the results of operations of its homebuilding operations in Jacksonville, Florida and Albuquerque, New Mexico and its title services operations as discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

As of September 30, 2010

  • Total cash and cash equivalents: $576.3 million, including restricted cash of $39.2 million.
  • Stockholders' equity: $397.1 million not including $57.5 million of mandatory convertible subordinated notes, which automatically convert to common stock at maturity.
  • Total Backlog: 796 homes with a sales value of $189.1 million compared to 1,193 homes with a sales value of $280.8 million as of September 30, 2009.

Ian J. McCarthy, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with the overall operational and financial progress we made during fiscal 2010, in spite of the continuing difficult conditions in the economy and the homebuilding industry. We recognize that consumers remain hesitant to commit to new home purchases because of concerns about employment and prospective foreclosures, among other issues. But, with a substantially improved balance sheet and gradually improving operational performance, we believe we are well positioned to participate in the eventual housing recovery."

Results for the Year and Quarter Ended September 30, 2010

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, net new home orders increased 1.1%, the number of homes closed increased 7.6% and homebuilding revenues from continuing operations increased 3.3% as compared to fiscal 2009. Our gross profit margin improved to 8.5% (13.4% without impairments and abandonments) for fiscal 2010 compared to 1.6% (11.4% without impairments and abandonments) in the prior year. Although full year gross margins improved year-over-year, we continued to be impacted by a challenging homebuilding environment, with weak closing volumes and a lower average sales price. In addition, we recorded non-cash pre-tax charges for inventory impairments and lot option abandonments of $50.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, which compared to similar charges of $95.2 million in the prior year.

For the fourth quarter, net new home orders decreased 20.6%, the number of homes closed decreased 30.0% and homebuilding revenues from continuing operations decreased 25.5% as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in home closings and related revenue was closely related to the acceleration of closings into our fiscal third quarter in connection with the expiration of the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit on June 30, 2010. The reduction in net new home orders from continuing operations was driven by a 23.1% decrease in gross new orders, partially offset by a decrease in the cancellation rate to 33.0%, compared to 35.2% a year ago. Our gross profit margin declined to 1.7% (11.3% without impairments and abandonments) in the quarter, compared to 6.1% (14.3% without impairments and abandonments) in the prior year. This reduction in gross margins was primarily attributable to non-recurring changes in warranty expense, greater concessions made to homebuyers during the quarter and higher indirect construction costs associated with our newly acquired communities. In addition, we recorded non-cash pre-tax charges for inventory impairments and lot option abandonments of $26.5 million for the quarter, which compared to similar charges of $29.9 million in the prior year.

The Company controlled 28,996 lots at September 30, 2010 (80% owned and 20% controlled under options) a reduction of 5.4% from the level at September 30, 2009.

As of September 30, 2010, unsold homes consisted of 423 finished homes and 382 homes under construction, a total reduction of 311 homes or 28% compared to June 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2010, we had deferred tax assets, net of $57.2 million of deferred tax liabilities, of $411.6 million, of which, all but $7.8 million has been reserved for with a $403.8 million valuation allowance. While the actual realization of the deferred tax assets is difficult to predict and is dependent on future events, as evidenced by our current valuation allowance, we currently anticipate that between $228 million and $350 million of these deferred tax assets may be available even after consideration of the Section 382 imposed limitation.

Other Items

We operated Beazer Mortgage Corporation (BMC) from 1998 through February 2008 to offer mortgage financing to the buyers of our homes. BMC entered into various agreements with mortgage investors for the origination of mortgage loans. Underwriting decisions were not made by BMC but by the investors or third-party service providers. To date, we have received requests to repurchase fewer than 100 mortgage loans from various investors. While we have not been required to repurchase any mortgage loans, we have established an immaterial amount as a reserve for the repurchase of mortgage loans originated by BMC. We cannot rule out the potential for additional mortgage loan repurchase claims in the future, although, at this time, we do not believe that the exposure related to any such additional claims would be material to the Company.

4. Equal Housing Opportunity

Beazer Homes and its affiliated companies are pledged to the letter and spirit of the U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support affirmative advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, gender, handicap, familial status, or national origin.

5. Equal Opportunity Employer

Beazer Homes is an equal opportunity employer, and considers all applicants without regard to race, color, sex, religion, disability, marital status, age, national origin, or any other legally protected status.

6. Mortgage Choice

Beazer Homes allows customers to seek information regarding financing for a home purchase by allowing customers to provide information to potential lenders and mortgage loan originators (“Lenders”) through the use of the Mortgage Choice program pages and the CompARE technology. Beazer Homes is not a Lender, mortgage broker, loan originator, loan processor, or underwriter. Beazer Homes does not aid or assist borrowers in obtaining loans, solicit borrowers or Lenders for loans, offer or negotiate terms of loans, or make loans or credit decisions in connection with loans. Beazer Homes does not take applications for credit or issue pre-approval letters. Any request for quotes or pre-approval submitted by a customer to a Lender through the CompARE technology is not an application for credit. Beazer Homes does not endorse or recommend the products of any particular lender. The “Choice Lenders” listed in the Mortgage Choice program and in the CompARE technology are independent entities and there is no affiliation between Beazer Homes and the Choice Lenders. Nothing contained in the Mortgage Choice program is an offer to lend or a commitment for a loan, and Beazer Homes does not guarantee any specific loan terms and conditions offered to you by a Lender will be granted, or that you will be offered any type of loan by any Lender. Beazer Homes is not an agent of either any customer or any Lender. Beazer Homes is only providing an administrative service to customers and participating lenders.

The CompARE technology is designed to assist home buyers in comparing loan estimates they receive from Lenders after home buyers submit loan applications to those Lenders. The CompARE technology analyzes those disclosures and provides comparison points to help the home buyer decipher which Lender is offering the best mortgage based on the home buyer’s preferences and costs to obtain the mortgage. Beazer Homes will not counsel home buyers in making loan estimate comparisons or selecting a Lender.

Beazer Homes does not require use of a Choice Lender in order to purchase a home, and home buyers are free to choose any lender. Beazer Homes does not (and will not) accept or receive compensation of any kind in connection with the Mortgage Choice program or the CompARE technology.

Lenders may elect to respond to your requests with non-binding proposals of the terms they would offer you, as well as their contact information. Beazer Homes also allows customers to request that Lenders pre-qualify them for home loans. Qualification for pre-approval does not constitute an offer to lend, a commitment for a loan, or a guarantee of specific rates or terms. If you, as a customer, choose to contact a Lender through the Mortgage Choice program, you authorize Beazer Homes to provide your name and contact information you provide to the Lender(s) you choose, along with your quote or pre-qualification request. You acknowledge that, by submitting your contact request form through Mortgage Choice, you may receive telemarketing calls from or on behalf of the Lender you choose at the telephone number(s) you provide.

Any loan or other business conducted is between you and the Lender. Lenders participating in Mortgage Choice are solely responsible for their services. Beazer Homes is not responsible for any errors or delays caused by customers or any Lenders in the loan process. When a Lender requests to participate in Mortgage Choice, Beazer Homes uses commercially reasonable efforts to confirm the Lender's license (in the states claimed in the Lenders profile) and/or employment with a lending institution. You are responsible, however, to confirm credentials if you choose to contact the Lender.

Beazer Homes assumes no responsibility for any result or consequence related directly or indirectly to any action or inaction that customers take based on use of Mortgage Choice and the CompARE technology. Beazer Homes shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with participation in the Mortgage Choice program and any use of the CompARE technology or the services offered by Lenders. Beazer Homes reserves the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to discontinue, suspend, or terminate the Mortgage Choice program or the CompARE technology or participation of any Lender or other user from the Mortgage Choice program and the CompARE technology.

1. Information Beazer Homes Collects

Beazer Homes and its Affiliates, as defined below, collect personal information for permissible business purposes to assist in meeting our customers’ needs. We do not require anyone to divulge any personally identifiable information to use the Website.

Beazer Homes will not collect personal information about you through the Website unless the information is provided voluntarily by you.

The information we collect generally includes: (1) personal information and (2) tracking information collected as you navigate through the Website.

Personal Information.  We collect personal information about you for many reasons and at a variety of different times. The type of personal information we collect depends on the community you’re looking at or live in, or the services you’ve requested. Our computer servers automatically log your IP address, the pages you click on and how long you spend there, and the web page you came from and go to next; we also save the data you type in if you want us to send you brochures or applications.

MCOT Program.  If you choose to participate in the Mortgage Choices On-Line Tool (MCOT), you may be asked to provide information such as your monthly income and debt levels. Please visit our Financial Privacy Notice found at Financial Privacy Notice for the privacy terms governing the collection of financial information through MCOT, which are incorporated herein by reference. Our MCOT privacy policy differs in several important respects from this Policy.

Information Collected Through Technology.  Primarily to tailor the Website to your needs, Beazer Homes collects information using technology, such as IP addresses and cookies. For example, your IP address provides Beazer Homes with non-personally identifiable information about how you entered the Internet, namely through your Internet service provider, your company, or some other source, and can permit Beazer Homes to identify the frequency with which you visit the Website. Standard features in Internet browser software such as "cookies" allow Websites to track certain user activities by assigning each of our visitors a unique number that resides on your computer. Beazer Homes uses cookies to make the Website more interesting and useful, including, in the following ways: (a) to personalize our services, such as remembering your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Website; (b) provide customized third party advertisements, content, and information; (c) monitor and analyze the effectiveness of the Website and third party marketing activities; (d) monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in any promotions or other activities.

Beazer Homes cookies are limited to our Websites only. In addition to Beazer Homes cookies, various third parties may also place cookies on your computer's hard drive when visiting this website. While Beazer Homes does not track its customers across other websites, we do use advertising companies to serve ads after you visit our Website while you are visiting other websites. These companies may collect information about your visits to our Website and other websites and/or apps in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Beazer Homes is not responsible for the technological capabilities or practices employed by third parties in connection with third party cookies.

If you would prefer not to have the benefits of cookies, your internet browser or other third party software on your workstation can be adjusted to treat cookies in different ways. Depending upon the type of browser you are using, you may be able to configure your browser so that: (i) you are prompted to accept or reject cookies on an individual basis; or (ii) you may be able to prevent your browser from accepting any cookies at all. You should refer to the supplier or manufacturer of your web browser for specific details about cookie security. However, you should also understand that rejecting cookies might affect your ability to perform certain transactions on our Website and our ability to recognize your browser from one visit to the next.

Beazer Homes does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. Some third party sites, including third-party advertising companies that Beazer Homes has a relationship with, however, do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.

Information Is Not Collected Online from Children Under 13.  Beazer Homes does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information online from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of thirteen (13), we ask that you do not use the Website. Beazer Homes does not seek to obtain, nor does it wish to receive personally identifiable information directly from minors; however, we cannot always determine the age of persons who access and use our Websites. If we do learn that personally identifiable information has been collected on the Website from a minor and without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your minor child has obtained an account on the Website or has otherwise provided personally identifiable information, you may alert us at 888-623-2937 or homeinfo@beazer.com, and request that we delete that child’s personally identifiable information from the Website.

2. How Beazer Homes Uses That Information

Beazer Homes uses your personally identifiable information for the purposes for which it was submitted. For example, we collect this personal information so we can provide you with the services you want, make it possible for you to build, buy and insure your home and help you settle into and enjoy your new home and your community.

We may also use your personal information as required by law, in response to governmental orders or requests, to enforce the Terms and Conditions applicable to the Website, and as we deem reasonably necessary to investigate, prevent or take other appropriate measures in connection with fraudulent or illegal activities.

3. Security Measures Taken to Protect Personally Identifiable Information

Beazer Homes also employs internal physical and technologic security measures to detect and block unauthorized intrusions to its computer systems. However, while we employ reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, please be aware that no method of electronic transmission is completely infallible, and we cannot guarantee its absolute safety.

4. Information Sharing

Sharing of personal information between Affiliates.  Beazer Homes is made up of a number of companies (“Affiliates”). Beazer Homes may share with and between its Affiliates personal information you provide to Beazer Homes or any of its Affiliates.

Non-Affiliates/Associates/Joint Marketing.  We also share personal information with our “Associates” - third parties that we have partnered with to share in the development or management of a community. Our Associates are third parties that are not affiliated with us and who perform services or functions on behalf of Beazer Homes or its Affiliates (such as accountants, attorneys, management companies, credit bureaus and banks). They are required to hold the personal information we provide to them in confidence, and use the personal information only to provide the services we’ve hired them to perform for us or for you. We may provide personal information about you to trusted companies pursuant to a written agreement with them when we jointly market our services to you. An example of this would be if a company wanted to offer insurance services in your community. The written agreement requires that they use your personal information only for the purposes of the joint marketing and that they not share it with others.

We do not sell any customer lists that contain your personal information.

Marketing.  We also share personal information with third parties that we have partnered with to market Beazer Homes. They are not affiliated with us and perform services or functions on behalf of Beazer Homes. They are required to hold the personal information we provide to them in confidence, and use the personal information only to provide the services we’ve hired them to perform for us pursuant to a written agreement. An example of this would be to perform a marketing match back to gauge success of a direct mail marketing campaign.

Other Circumstances.  We may disclose your personal information as you consent or direct. We may disclose your personal information to third parties as required by law. For example, we may disclose your personal information in connection with a subpoena or other legal process, in an audit, or when we record your mortgage or deed in public records. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful, or in the interest of national security, law enforcement activities, or other issues of health and safety as reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. We may share information to prevent illegal uses of the Website, or defend ourselves against third-party claims. We may also share information with companies assisting in fraud protection or investigation. We do not provide information to these agencies or companies for marketing or commercial purposes.

We may also transfer user or customer information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale.

5. Updating Contact Information and Opt-Out Choices

We give customers control over their personal information.

We provide you with access to your personal information in various ways, including statements and community mailings, and want you to make sure that the personal information we have about you is accurate and current. Beazer Homes enables users of its Website to update contact information and to opt out of the collection of personally identifiable information or particular communications or services. You may do so by going to this opt-out link, or by contacting us at 888-623-2937 or homeinfo@beazer.com. Due to production, mailing, and system timelines, it may take some time to process your request. In addition, we may still use your information to communicate with you for other purposes, such as for customer service.
