The continuation of strong momentum in our markets and the expanded reach of our Benchmark brand was evident with first quarter home deliveries growing 35.3% and homes in backlog up 32.2% compared to the prior period. We are especially pleased to report an improvement in homebuilding gross margin, in part driven by our careful balancing of price and pace, along with ongoing efforts to tightly manage construction costs. Our previously announced sales training and marketing initiatives are progressing according to plan, as we stay disciplined on overall SG&A spend to continue producing favorable leverage on higher revenues. We remain committed to striving for operational excellence in all facets of our business to capitalize on strong housing fundamentals in our key markets.”
First Quarter 2017 Operating Results
Net income increased to $3.5 million, compared to $0.2 million in the prior year period. Net income attributable to stockholders of UCP was $1.1 million, or $0.14 per share of Class A common stock, compared to net income attributable to stockholders of UCP of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share of Class A common stock, in the prior year period.
Homebuilding revenue increased 37.8% to $94.0 million, compared to $68.2 million in the prior year period. The improvement was driven by a 35.3% increase in homes delivered to 226, compared to 167 in the prior year period, led by increased deliveries of 40.0% in the West. The average selling price of a home increased 1.7% to approximately $416,000, compared to the prior year period, driven by an 18.6% increase in the Southeast.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage was 18.3%, compared to 17.6% in the prior year period. Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 21.0%, compared to 19.9% in the prior year period. Consolidated gross margin percentage was 18.3%, compared to 16.9% in the prior year period.
Sales and marketing expense was $5.1 million, compared to $4.1 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expense decreased to 5.4%, compared to 6.0% in the prior year period, due to cost controls as well as higher overall revenues.
General and administrative expense was $8.5 million, compared to $7.3 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expense was 9.0%, down from 10.7% in the prior year period. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expense was 14.4% compared to 16.6% for the prior year, driven by higher revenue and continued focus on operational initiatives.
Net new home orders increased 20.0% to 270, compared to 225 in the prior year period, led by a 25.0% increase in net new home orders in the West. Net new home orders in the Southeast grew 2.0% to 50, compared to the prior year period. The average number of selling communities was 27 compared to 28 in the prior year period. Unit backlog at the end of the quarter was up 32.2% to 406, compared to 307 at the end of the prior year period. The backlog on a dollar basis increased 29.6% to $176.6 million, compared to $136.2 million at the end of prior year period.
Total lots owned and controlled were 8,049, compared to 6,638 at December 31, 2016 attributable to an increase in controlled lots in the three Southeast markets and Pacific Northwest market as the Company continues to prudently manage inventory and gain greater operating expense leverage in these rapidly growing divisions while striving to expand its return on equity and assets.
Stock Repurchase Program
In June 2016, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $5.0 million of its Class A common stock through June 1, 2018. As of March 31, 2017, the Company repurchased 146,346 shares of Class A common stock for approximately $1.2 million under this stock repurchase program. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had no stock repurchases.
Merger Agreement
On April 11, 2017, UCP and Century Communities, Inc. (“Century”) (NYSE: CCS), a leading homebuilder of single-family homes, townhomes and flats in select U.S. markets, jointly announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the companies would merge and create a combined company with an equity market capitalization of over $700 million and an enterprise value of over $1.3 billion. The combined company will operate in 10 states, 17 markets and 117 communities with approximately 25,000 total lots.
In the merger, each outstanding share of UCP Class A common stock will be converted into the right to receive $5.32 in cash and 0.2309 of a newly issued share of Century common stock. UCP's stockholders will own, on a pro forma basis, approximately 16.4% of the combined company. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2017, subject to customary closing conditions, including the adoption of the merger agreement by UCP's stockholders.
Dustin Bogue, Chief Executive Officer of UCP, commented, "We look forward to combining our business with Century. The significantly increased scale of our combined platform provides a geographically diverse portfolio with essentially no overlap and a very attractive opportunity for UCP stockholders to participate in the earnings growth, value accretion and enhanced prospects of a leading homebuilder for many years to come."
Webcast and Conference Call
As a result of the Company’s pending merger with Century, the Company does not plan to host a conference call or webcast in connection with its results for the first quarter of 2017.

| (1) | Adjusted gross margin, adjusted homebuilding gross margin and adjusted land development gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures. These metrics have been adjusted to add back capitalized interest, and impairment and abandonment charges. We use adjusted gross margin information as a supplemental measure when evaluating our operating performance. We believe this information is meaningful, because it isolates the impact that leverage and non-cash impairment and abandonment charges have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes interest expense and impairment and abandonment charges, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance is limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance. The table above provides a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin numbers to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. |
