We are confident that we have the strategic drivers in place to produce measurable year-over-year earnings growth in the second half of 2015 as we realize higher revenues from our larger operational platform and anticipate generating further sequential margin improvement from our recently opened communities and additional scale as the year progresses.”

This press release contains, and Company management’s discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin and ratio of net debt to capital, both of which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful to investors in understanding its operations and the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. However, because the adjusted housing gross profit margin and the ratio of net debt to capital are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these financial measures may not be completely comparable to other companies in the homebuilding industry and, therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, these non-GAAP financial measures should be used to supplement their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations.
Adjusted Housing Gross Profit Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s housing gross profit margin calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin:
Six Months Three Months 2015 2014 2015 2014 Housing revenues $ 1,129,762 $ 999,942 $ 604,921 $ 559,815 Housing construction and land costs (953,659 ) (816,208 ) (508,276 ) (454,102 ) Housing gross profits 176,103 183,734 96,645 105,713 Add: Amortization of previously capitalized interest 47,736 37,702 25,443 20,217 Land option contract abandonment charges 984 790 536 357 Adjusted housing gross profits $ 224,823 $ 222,226 $ 122,624 $ 126,287 Housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues 15.6 % 18.4 % 16.0 % 18.9 % Adjusted housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues 19.9 % 22.2 % 20.3 % 22.6 %Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing housing revenues less housing construction and land costs excluding amortization of previously capitalized interest and land option contract abandonment charges recorded during a given period, by housing revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is housing gross profit margin. The Company believes adjusted housing gross profit margin is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as it measures the gross profits the Company generated specifically on the homes delivered during a given period. This non-GAAP financial measure isolates the impact that the amortization of previously capitalized interest and land option contract abandonments have on housing gross profit margins and allows investors to make comparisons with the Company’s competitors that adjust housing gross profit margins in a similar manner. The Company also believes investors will find adjusted housing gross profit margin relevant and useful because it represents a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of the amortization of previously capitalized interest and land option contract abandonment charges. This financial measure assists management in making strategic decisions regarding product mix, product pricing and construction pace.

Ratio of Net Debt to Capital
The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt to capital calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s ratio of net debt to capital:
May 31, November 30, 2015 2014 Notes payable $ 2,819,510 $ 2,576,525 Stockholders’ equity 1,615,836 1,595,910 Total capital $ 4,435,346 $ 4,172,435 Ratio of debt to capital 63.6 % 61.8 % Notes payable $ 2,819,510 $ 2,576,525 Less: Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (467,133 ) (383,601 ) Net debt 2,352,377 2,192,924 Stockholders’ equity 1,615,836 1,595,910 Total capital $ 3,968,213 $ 3,788,834 Ratio of net debt to capital 59.3 % 57.9 %The ratio of net debt to capital is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, by capital (notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, plus stockholders’ equity). The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net debt to capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
