TOLL BROTHERS REPORTS 2ND QTR 2007 EARNINGS RESULTS
Horsham, PA, May 24, 2007 — Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) (www.tollbrothers.com), the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, today reported results for net income, revenues, backlog and contracts for its second quarter and six months ended April 30, 2007.
FY 2007’s second-quarter net income was $36.7 million, or $0.22 per share diluted, compared to FY 2006’s second-quarter record of $174.9 million, or $1.06 per share diluted. In FY 2007, second-quarter net income was reduced by after-tax write-downs of $72.9 million, or $0.44 per share diluted. In FY 2006, second-quarter after-tax write-downs totaled $7.3 million, or $0.04 per share diluted. Excluding write-downs, FY 2007’s second-quarter earnings were $0.66 per share diluted compared to $1.10 in FY 2006’s second quarter.
FY 2007’s six-month net income was $91.0 million, or $0.55 per share diluted, compared to FY 2006’s same period record results of $338.8 million, or $2.04 per share diluted. In FY 2007, six-month net income was reduced by after-tax write-downs and a first-quarter goodwill impairment totaling $137.4 million, or $0.84 per share diluted. In FY 2006, six-month after-tax write-downs totaled $8.0 million, or $0.05 per share diluted. Excluding write-downs and the goodwill impairment charge, FY 2007’s six-month earnings were $1.39 per share diluted compared to $2.09 in FY 2006’s first six months.
FY 2007’s second-quarter total revenues were $1.17 billion compared to the second-quarter record of $1.44 billion in revenues in FY 2006. FY 2007’s six-month total revenues were $2.27 billion compared to the six-month record of $2.78 billion in FY 2006. FY 2007’s second-quarter-end backlog was $4.15 billion compared to the second-quarter record of $6.07 billion in FY 2006.
FY 2007’s second-quarter net signed contracts were $1.17 billion, a decline of 25% compared to FY 2006’s second-quarter total of $1.56 billion. The Company signed 2,031 contracts (before cancellations) in FY 2007’s second quarter, a 14% decline from the 2,372 signed in FY 2006’s second quarter. Net of cancellations, second-quarter contracts totaled 1,647 units, down 24% from 2,167 units in the second quarter of FY 2006. Second-quarter FY 2007 cancellations totaled 384 units versus 436 units in first-quarter FY 2007 and 585 units in fourth-quarter FY 2006; FY 2007’s second-quarter cancellation rate of 18.9% was lower than the first-quarter FY 2007 cancellation rate of 29.8% and the 36.9% cancellation rate in the fourth-quarter FY 2006. However, the cancellation rate was still well above the Company’s historical average of approximately 7%. FY 2007’s six-month net contracts were $1.92 billion compared to FY 2006’s six-month total of $2.70 billion.

In response to current market conditions, the Company continues to reevaluate and, in some cases, renegotiate its optioned land positions. The Company ended FY 2007’s second quarter with approximately 65,800 lots owned and optioned compared to approximately 91,200 and 68,000 at the second-quarter-ends of FY 2006 and FY 2005, respectively.
Robert I. Toll, chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “We continue to operate conservatively in the current difficult climate. We ended the quarter with over $550 million in cash (compared to about $400 million one year ago) and more than $1.1 billion available under our bank credit facility. In the past year we have trimmed our lot position by 28% from our high of 91,200 lots to our current 65,800 lots. We have reduced our net debt to capital ratio(1) to 32% today from 37% at FY 2006’s second-quarter-end. We believe our prudent approach to managing our balance sheet should position us well in this down market and provide us sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in the future.
“We continue to seek a balance between our short-term goal of selling homes in a tough market and maximizing the value of our communities. Many of our communities are on sites in locations that are difficult to replace and in markets where approvals are increasingly difficult to achieve. We believe that many of these communities have substantial embedded value, realizable in the future, that should not be sacrificed in the current soft market.
“In what generally remains a soft market, there are glimmers of strength in certain territories. Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens in New York City, and Jersey City and Hoboken, are strong. Southern Connecticut and Dutchess County, New York are also good. The Philadelphia suburbs, and Delaware, are solid. Raleigh, Austin and Dallas are holding up well as are parts of Northern California, primarily around Silicon Valley.”
Joel Rassman, chief financial officer, stated: “Given the uncertainty surrounding sales paces, and market direction and, thus, the potential for and size of future impairments, we are not comfortable giving full earnings guidance at this time. However, we expect to deliver between 6,100 and 6,900 homes in FY 2007 and expect to produce total home building revenues (including percentage of completion revenues) of between $4.26 billion and $4.88 billion in FY 2007. For our third quarter, which ends July 31, 2007, we expect to deliver between 1,400 and 1,800 homes and produce home building revenues of between $990 million and $1.28 billion.”
Prior to its conference call this afternoon at 12:00 Noon (EDT), the Company will file a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission outlining its guidance assumptions in greater detail.
 
(1)   Net debt to capital is calculated as total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash divided by total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash plus stockholders’ equity.

EX-99.2 3 w35449exv99w2.htm OUTLINE OF GUIDANCE TO BE GIVEN BY TOLL BROTHERS., INC. exv99w2
 

Exhibit 99.2
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
In our second quarter 2007 Earnings Conference Call to be held at 12:00 Noon (EDT) on May 24, 2007, we will provide the following guidance regarding our expected results of operations for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2007. These forecasts are subject to many risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may vary significantly from the actual results, as further noted below. Information with respect to quarterly data is subject to even greater fluctuation and risk. We undertake no obligation to publicly update the information provided due to changes in economic conditions, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent filings, releases or presentations should be consulted. We suggest that you listen to the conference call in its entirety. The conference call in its entirety can be heard via the Investor Relations portion of our website, www.tollbrothers.com, until August 7, 2007.
For ease of reference, we have included the actual results for fiscal 2006 and the first and second quarters of fiscal 2007. The columns designated as “Low” and “High” represents the low and high ends of the ranges for unit deliveries of homes, average delivered price of homes, land sales revenues, percentage of completion revenues, cost of revenue by line as a percentage of the applicable revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of total revenues expected for fiscal 2007. We expect that the actual results of operations before inventory write-offs will be somewhere between the low end and the high end of the ranges provided. Due to the uncertain economic conditions in the homebuilding industry, we do not believe that we can give a reasonable forecast of future inventory write-downs for the remainder of fiscal 2007.
Unit deliveries of homes, average delivered price of homes, land sales and percentage of completion revenues in fiscal 2007 are expected to be:

Net Income and Earnings per Share
Because we cannot reasonably forecast future inventory write-downs, we cannot provide guidance on income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share. However, based on our estimated effective tax rate and our estimated weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding, diluted earnings per share would be impacted approximately $0.037 per share for each $10 million of inventory write-down.
