Forward guidance
The company expects an adverse impact on net new sales to continue in the second quarter and beyond, consequently, closings, and therefore results of operations, for the balance of 2020 will be more impacted than the first quarter. The length and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial performance, including the ability to execute on our future financial results, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related government restrictions, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Tailwinds
- Focused on completing and closing the record amount of sold homes in backlog that are under construction.
- Temporarily limited the construction of unsold, speculative units to the next completion stage of construction.
- Temporarily limited purchases of lots and land and development of land to reflect the lower levels of home sales orders that are anticipated for 2020.
- Limited the number of new communities in which we had planned to open in 2020 based on an evaluation of competition and supply.
- Taken steps to reduce overall headcount and selling, general and administrative expenses to align with anticipated activity in the upcoming quarters at an annualized estimated savings of $10.4 million.
Headwinds
