The ratio of the Companys
net homebuilding debt to last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, as
of a specific date, is defined as (1) the Companys total homebuilding
borrowings minus its unrestricted cash, as of a specific date, divided
by (2) the Companys EBITDA for the twelve months ended as
of such date plus the aggregate amount of restructuring charges,
which include merger and severance charges and any losses from the
early retirement of debt, incurred by the Company for that same
period. The Companys interest incurred coverage ratio, as
of a specific date, is defined as (1) the interest incurred by the
Company for the twelve months ended as of such date, divided by
(2) the Companys EBITDA for the twelve months ended as of
such date plus the aggregate amount of restructuring charges, which
include merger and severance charges and any losses from the early
retirement of debt, incurred by the Company for that same period.
The Company has included information concerning the ratio of its
net homebuilding debt to last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA and
its interest incurred coverage ratio because the Company believes
these two ratios provide investors an indication of the adequacy
of earnings to meet interest charges and its ability to repay its
outstanding debt. In addition, the interest incurred coverage ratio
is used by the Companys lenders to determine compliance with
the covenants in its credit facility. The Company does not use the
ratio of its net homebuilding debt to last twelve months Adjusted
EBITDA nor its interest incurred coverage ratio as a measure of
its liquidity because the Company does not believe it is a meaningful
indication of the Companys cash flow. These ratios should
not be considered as an alternative to operating income or to cash
flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with
GAAP) and should not be construed as an indication of the Companys
operating performance or a measure of the Companys liquidity.
A reconciliation of both ratios to net income, the most directly
comparable GAAP measure, is provided below (dollars in thousands):
