Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., Toll Brothers' chief executive officer, stated: "As the housing market progresses through the early stages of what we believe will be an extended and uneven recovery, we are pleased to report significant progress in growing our revenues and profits. Since the recent low point in FY 2011, our revenues and net income have increased at compound average annual average growth rates of 38% and 104%, respectively. In FY 2014, revenues rose 46% to $3.91 billion and net income doubled to $340.0 million compared to one year ago.

"While FY 2014 sales contracts were generally flat compared to FY 2013, recent trends are encouraging. FY 2014 fourth-quarter contracts grew 16% in dollars and 10% in units versus FY 2013. The momentum has continued into FY 2015, with contract growth of 16%, deposit (non-binding reservations) growth of 15% and traffic growth of 37% through the first six weeks of FY 2015, compared to FY 2014's same period. We remain optimistic about the upcoming Spring selling season, which begins in late January.

"In FY 2014, we continued to strategically grow our land holdings in key markets, extend our product offerings across geographies, diversify our business lines, and strengthen our financial position. In California, the $1.6 billion acquisition of Shapell Homes, which closed in February, gave us approximately 5,000 home sites in established coastal communities. This exciting acquisition has enabled us to expand our California operations significantly. In Texas, we opened four large master planned communities, where we will build homes and sell lots to other builders, which will generate additional income. Two of these are in joint venture and two are wholly owned.

"Our Toll Brothers City Living team, which is heavily concentrated in the urban metro New York City market, currently has 837 units in projects open or soon to be open for sale with another 1,203 units we control that are in the approval process. We also continued to expand our Toll Brothers Apartment Living pipeline of urban and suburban for-rent projects. We currently have 1,441 units under management, 1,920 in construction and nearly 3,000 in planning. We will continue to develop these in joint venture as we grow this business."

Martin P. Connor, Toll Brothers' chief financial officer, stated: "We are pleased with our continued progress in improving our gross and operating margins. In addition, we continued to generate significant amounts of Other and JV Income, which totaled more than $107 million in FY 2014.

"The $32.0 million increase in warranty and litigation reserves in cost of sales this quarter was primarily driven by estimated costs associated with known and projected stucco-related repairs at older homes in certain closed communities in Pennsylvania and Delaware. We are in the process of making repairs and look to complete the work in a timely and cost-efficient manner. We also had inventory impairments of $10.8 million, which were mostly due to a write-down at one community and the decision to exit a small market.

"Subject to the caveats in our Statement on Forward-Looking Information included in this release, we offer the following limited guidance. We ended FY 2014 with a backlog of $2.72 billion and 3,679 units, up 3% in dollars and flat in units, compared to FYE 2013. Since our homes take an average of seven to nine months to build, we expect that FY 2015 unit volume deliveries will be similar to FY 2014. We believe we will deliver between 5,000 and 6,000 homes in FY 2015 at an average price of between $710,000 and $760,000 per home. If the improvement in demand we have seen since August continues, we believe the higher end of that range is more achievable. In addition, we expect Other and JV income to contribute between $75 million and $90 million in pre-tax income in FY 2015.

"Looking to FY 2016, we are optimistic. With agreement volume up 16% year to date in FY 2015, continued community count growth and model openings planned in key California and Texas communities, we are looking forward to improving core homebuilding deliveries and operating margins in FY 2016. In addition, deliveries from Toll Brothers' City Living division, particularly from Manhattan's 400 Park Avenue South and 1110 Park Avenue, will provide substantial income and improve core margins, while deliveries from Pierhouse at Brooklyn Bridge Park and The Sutton, also in Manhattan, should significantly boost JV income in FY 2016."

Robert I. Toll, executive chairman, stated: "We believe the housing recovery has many years to run. Housing starts, through ups and downs from 1970-2007, have averaged about 1.6 million annually. According to Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies, 'Despite the rebound in the last two years, home sales and starts are still nowhere near normal levels. This was the sixth consecutive year that starts failed to hit the one million mark, [which was] unprecedented before 2008 in records dating back to 1959.'

"Meanwhile, the country has continued to grow. In 2005, the peak of the last housing cycle, U.S. population stood at 295 million. That number reached 316 million in 2013, an increase of 21 million people. Even with the well-publicized recession-driven lag in household formations (compared to population growth), there were still 4.6 million more households in 2013 than in 2005.

"Against this backdrop of increasing population and underproduction, the luxury market remains quite fragmented. We are the only major publicly traded home building company that focuses on the luxury market on a nationwide basis. Our primary competitors, the small and mid-sized local builders, remain constrained by limited access to capital. With 47,200 lots owned and controlled, we believe we have an attractive portfolio of well-bought and attractively located current and future communities. We believe these communities should support our growth as housing continues to recover, pent-up demand is released and the industry returns to historical levels of production and demand."
