Rewritten

The higher average price of homes in backlog entering 2014 was attributable to [removed: the aforementioned] [added: favorable market conditions in 2013, leading to] increasing prices [removed: in 2013.][added: during that year.]

Rewritten

Homebuilding revenues [removed: in 2013] increased [removed: 32% from 2012,] [added: 16% in 2015 compared 2014,] as a result of a [removed: 20%] [added: 12%] increase in the number of [removed: homes] [added: units] settled and a [removed: 10%] [added: 3%] increase in the average settlement price year over year.

Rewritten

The increase in [removed: the number of homes] [added: units] settled was [removed: primarily] attributable to a [removed: 35%] [added: 19%] higher [removed: beginning] backlog unit balance entering [removed: 2013] [added: 2015] compared to [removed: 2012,] [added: the backlog unit balance entering 2014,] offset partially by a [removed: lower] [added: slower] backlog turnover rate [removed: in 2013 compared to 2012.][added: year over year.]

Rewritten

[removed: Average] [added: In addition, the unit and average] settlement [removed: prices in 2013] [added: price increases] were favorably impacted [removed: primarily] by a [removed: 10% higher average price of homes in backlog entering 2013 compared to the average price of homes] [added: 15% increase] in [removed: backlog entering 2012] [added: New Orders] and a [removed: 10% higher] [added: 2% increase in the] average sales price of New [removed: Orders] [added: Orders, respectively,] for the first six months of [removed: 2013] [added: 2015] compared to [removed: 2012.][added: the same period in 2014.]

Rewritten

[removed: As noted in the Overview section above, gross profit] margins in 2013 were negatively impacted by two service related accruals which reduced the 2013 gross profit margin by 76 basis points.

Rewritten

We expect continued gross margin pressure over the next several quarters due to weakness in sales [removed: prices.][added: pricing.]

Rewritten

Equity-based compensation expense increased primarily due to the [removed: granting] [added: grant] of non-qualified stock options (“Options”) under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) following shareholder approval of the 2014 Plan in May 2014 and restricted share [removed: unit] [added: units] (“RSUs”) [removed: grants] in the second quarter of 2013.

Rewritten

[removed: Backlog dollars were higher] [added: The increase in backlog units was] primarily [removed: due] [added: attributable] to a [removed: 10%] [added: 13%] increase in [removed: the average price of] New Orders for the [removed: six-month] [added: six month] period ended December 31, [removed: 2013] [added: 2015] compared to the same period in [removed: 2012.][added: 2014.]

New in FY2015

We generally do not engage in land development (see discussion below of our limited land development activities).

New in FY2015

In addition, we controlled approximately 8,000 lots through six JVs with an aggregate investment of approximately $60,500.

New in FY2015

Of the lots controlled by the JVs, approximately 3,300 were not under contract with us at December 31, 2015.

New in FY2015

Further, as of December 31, 2015, we directly owned four separate raw parcels of land, zoned for their intended use, with a current cost basis, including development costs, of approximately $60,600 that we intend to develop into approximately 980 finished lots.

New in FY2015

We have additional funding commitments under a joint development agreement related to our land under development of approximately $19,200, a portion of which we expect will be offset by development credits of approximately $9,600.

New in FY2015

We also had a $2,200 obligation under a letter of credit related to one of our land parcels.

New in FY2015

In February 2016, we acquired an additional raw parcel of land at a cost of approximately $150,000 which is expected to produce approximately 1,000 lots, of which approximately 160 lots are under contract with unrelated parties.

New in FY2015

Of the $12,200 in cash deposits, $5,000 relates to the raw parcel of land acquired in February 2016 discussed above.

New in FY2015

New home demand continued to improve throughout 2015.

New in FY2015

Our net income for 2015 was $382,927, or $89.99 per diluted share, increases of 36% and 42% compared to 2014 net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively.

New in FY2015

Diluted earnings per share was favorably impacted by our ongoing share repurchase program.

Our homebuilding gross profit margin percentage increased to18.7% in 2015 from 18.4% in 2014.

New in FY2015

Our backlog of homes sold but not yet settled with the customer as of December 31, 2015 increased on a unit basis by 14% to 6,229 units and increased on a dollar basis by 13% to $2,375,182 when compared to December 31, 2014.

New in FY2015

We expect to continue to face gross profit margin and pricing pressures due to higher land and construction costs, as well as increased competition associated with the increase in the

New in FY2015

number of new home communities in our markets.

New in FY2015

| Operating data: | | | | | | | | | | | | |

New in FY2015

The increases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price were attributable to an 11% higher backlog unit balance entering 2015 and a 3% higher average price of homes in backlog entering 2015 compared to backlog entering 2014.

New in FY2015

Gross profit margin percentage in 2015 increased to 18.7% from 18.4% in 2014.

New in FY2015

Gross profit margin was favorably impacted in 2015 by an approximate $11,100, or 22 basis points of revenue, recovery of contract land deposits previously determined to be unrecoverable.

New in FY2015

Excluding the contract land deposit impairment recovery, gross profit margin was flat year over year as higher revenues were offset by higher lot and construction costs year over year.

Gross profit

New in FY2015

SG&A expenses in 2015 increased approximately $12,300, or 3%, compared to 2014.

New in FY2015

SG&A expenses increased primarily due to an approximate $14,900 increase in management incentive compensation attributable to the improved operating results in 2015.

New in FY2015

SG&A expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 7.3% in 2015 from 8.2% in 2014 due to improved leveraging of SG&A expenses.

New in FY2015

Backlog units and dollars increased approximately 14% to 6,229 units and 13% to $2,375,182, respectively, as of December 31, 2015 compared to 5,475 units and $2,105,635, respectively, as of December 31, 2014.

2015 versus 2014

New in FY2015

The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $50,900, or 19%, increase in segment profit in 2015 compared to 2014, driven by an increase in revenues of approximately $405,700, or 16%, year over year.

New in FY2015

The number of units settled and the average settlement price were favorably impacted by a 9% higher backlog unit balance and a 3% higher average price of homes in backlog, respectively, entering 2015 compared to 2014.

New in FY2015

The Mid Atlantic segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 18.6% in 2015 from 19.1% in 2014, due primarily to higher lot and construction costs year over year.

New in FY2015

New Orders increased despite a 5% decrease in the average number of active communities year over year, due to higher sales absorption year over year.

New in FY2015

Community sales absorption was impacted by improved market conditions in 2015 compared to 2014.

Historically, we generally have not engaged in land development to obtain finished lots for use in our homebuilding operations.

Dropped from FY2014

In addition, we controlled approximately 5,500 lots through joint venture limited liability corporations with an aggregate investment of approximately $82,000.

Dropped from FY2014

Further, as of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $33,700 in land under development, that once fully developed will result in approximately 480 lots for use in our homebuilding operations.

Dropped from FY2014

Of the total finished lots expected to be developed, 94 lots are under contract to be sold to an unrelated party under lot purchase agreements.

Dropped from FY2014

The housing market recovery continues to be uneven.

Dropped from FY2014

During 2014, the housing market experienced some weakness as existing home inventory increased and affordability decreased following increasing prices during 2013.

Dropped from FY2014

These factors have resulted in weakness in housing prices in 2014.

Dropped from FY2014

Gross profit in 2013 was negatively impacted by two previously disclosed service related accruals totaling approximately $31,600, a 76 basis point reduction to gross profit in 2013.

Dropped from FY2014

Net income for 2014 increased 6% from 2013 to $281,630.

Dropped from FY2014

Diluted earnings per share in 2014 was $63.50, an increase of 16% from 2013.

Dropped from FY2014

Diluted earnings per share was favorably impacted by our ongoing share repurchase program, under which we repurchased 507,648 shares of our stock at an aggregate purchase price of $567,544 during 2014.

Dropped from FY2014

We expect to face a challenging market in 2015, as a result of the weakness in new home sales prices and increased competition associated with an expected increase in new home communities in our markets.

Dropped from FY2014

The higher beginning backlog balance and average sales prices were driven by the favorable market conditions experienced in the second half of 2012.

Dropped from FY2014

The increase in New Orders was driven by a 12% increase in the number of active communities year over year, offset partially by a lower absorption rate in 2013.

Dropped from FY2014

In addition, our December 2012 acquisition of Heartland Homes added 355 New Orders in 2013.

Dropped from FY2014

The increase in active communities and pricing in 2013 was attributable to the favorable market conditions through the first half of 2013.

Dropped from FY2014

Gross profit margins in 2014 increased to 18.4% compared to 17.2% in 2013.

Dropped from FY2014

Gross profit margins in 2013 decreased to 17.2% from 17.5% in 2012.

Dropped from FY2014

Gross profit margins were negatively impacted in 2013 by two service related accruals totaling approximately $31,600 (see Note 13 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of service accruals).

Dropped from FY2014

Excluding these charges, gross profit margin was 17.9% in 2013, an increase of 46 basis points from the prior year.

Dropped from FY2014

Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by higher settlement volume in 2013 allowing us to better

leverage our operating costs, partially offset by higher construction costs, including lumber and certain other commodity costs, year over year.

Dropped from FY2014

SG&A expenses in 2013 increased approximately $11,800, or 4%, compared to 2012, but as a percentage of revenue decreased to 7.6% in 2013 from 9.7% in 2012.

Dropped from FY2014

The increase in SG&A expenses was attributable to increases of approximately $20,300 in personnel costs in 2013 due to an increase in headcount year over year.

Dropped from FY2014

In addition, sales and marketing expenses were approximately $14,400 higher in 2013 due to the increase in the number of active communities.

Dropped from FY2014

These cost increases were partially offset by an approximate $28,700 reduction in equity-based compensation expense in 2013 compared to 2012.

Dropped from FY2014

Equity-based compensation expense was favorably impacted as a result of the restricted share units (“RSUs”) issued in 2010 becoming fully vested as of December 31, 2012 and the reversal of approximately $7,100 in equity-based compensation expense previously recorded to SG&A expense as we adjusted our stock option forfeiture rates based on our actual forfeiture experience.

Dropped from FY2014

These reductions were offset partially by equity-based compensation expense incurred in 2013 related to RSUs issued in May 2013.

Dropped from FY2014

The decrease in SG&A costs as a percentage of revenue was driven by the 32% increase in revenue in 2013, allowing us to better leverage our overhead costs.

Dropped from FY2014

Backlog units decreased approximately 1% to 4,945 as of December 31, 2013 compared to 4,979 as of December 31, 2012, while backlog dollars increased approximately 7% to $1,845,600 from $1,723,914 as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The increase in units settled was attributable to a 36% higher backlog unit balance entering 2013 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2012, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year.

Dropped from FY2014

Gross profit margins in 2013 were negatively impacted by a previously disclosed service related accrual of approximately $15,600, or 64 basis points of revenue.

Dropped from FY2014

Excluding this charge, gross profit margin increased 119 basis points to 19.6% in 2013 due to increased settlement volume, which allowed us to better leverage certain operating costs.

In October 2004, Patrick Tracy, whom we had employed as a Sales and Marketing Representative (“SMR”), filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York alleging that we had misclassified him and other SMRs as outside sales personnel exempt from certain state and federal wage laws, including overtime pay requirements.

Dropped from FY2014

Mr. Tracy’s attorneys subsequently filed several other lawsuits in various courts asserting substantially similar claims on behalf of various classes or groups of SMRs.

Dropped from FY2014

None of those courts have held that the claims are appropriate for class, collective, or other group treatment, and the Western District of New York ruled in April 2013 that the claims in Mr. Tracy’s case could not proceed on such a basis.

Dropped from FY2014

The Western District of New York reached the same conclusion in July 2014 regarding a separate case that Mr. Tracy’s attorneys brought on behalf of other SMRs.

Dropped from FY2014

In October 2013, Mr. Tracy’s individual claims were tried by a jury, which returned a unanimous verdict in our favor and found that we had properly classified Mr. Tracy as an exempt outside sales person.

Dropped from FY2014

The plaintiff has sought review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in which he challenges the legal standard that the trial court applied in crafting its jury instructions regarding the outside sales exemption, in addition to rulings that the trial court made at earlier stages of the case.

Dropped from FY2014

That appeal is fully briefed, and the parties are awaiting a ruling or an oral argument date.

Dropped from FY2014

The remainder of the cases noted above are in various stages of pre-trial proceedings, many of them stayed or administratively closed pending a final disposition of the Tracy action.

Dropped from FY2014

We believe that our compensation practices in regard to SMRs are entirely lawful and have vigorously defended all claims challenging those practices.

Dropped from FY2014

In light of the points noted above, we have not recorded any associated liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in conjunction with any of those claims.

Dropped from FY2014

It is as yet unclear what next steps the DOJ will take in the matter.

Dropped from FY2014

We intend to continue cooperating with any future EPA and/or DOJ inquiries.

Dropped from FY2014

At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of this inquiry, nor can we reasonably estimate the potential costs that may be associated with its eventual resolution.
