Levitt Corporation Reports Financial Results For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year, 2007
Levitt Corporation (NYSE:LEV) today announced financial results for the
fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. For the fourth quarter
2007, Levitt Corporation ("Levitt”
or "the Company”)
reported a net loss of ($8.3) million, or ($0.09) per diluted share,
compared with a net loss of ($10.7) million or ($0.53) per diluted share
in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the full year ended December 31,
2007, Levitt reported a net loss of ($234.6) million, or ($6.00) per
diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($9.2) million, or ($0.46) per
diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The fourth quarter
results include various expenses related to the bankruptcy of our
homebuilding subsidiary, Levitt and Sons. The 2007 year end results
includes impairment charges of $217.6 million related to the Levitt and
Sons inventory of real estate compared to $36.8 million in 2006.
"In 2007, the housing market experienced what
many consider the worst downturn in decades,”
commented Levitt Corporation‘s Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, Alan B. Levan. "The
unprecedented sales declines, inventory oversupply and rising
cancellations, together with Levitt and Sons’
unsuccessful efforts to renegotiate the terms of its outstanding debt,
resulted in our decision to no longer financially support Levitt and
Sons. We concluded that the decline in the housing market was so severe
and prospects for any recovery in the near-term were so remote that
without a restructuring of Levitt and Sons’
debt, there was no way for Levitt and Sons to sustain its operations. As
a result, Levitt and Sons filed for bankruptcy protection in order to
pursue an orderly dissolution and liquidation of its assets.
"This decision, while unfortunate, was
important to Levitt Corporation’s efforts to
preserve its capital and the capital of its other subsidiaries. Levitt
Corporation entered 2008 with shareholders’
equity of $261.1 million and unrestricted cash of $195.2 million. In
addition to its cash position, Levitt Corporation’s
ownership interest of approximately 9.5 million shares of the common
stock of Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG) had an approximate market
value of $68.4 million as of December 31, 2007. Levitt Corporation also
owns Core Communities, its wholly-owned master-planned community
subsidiary. Our goal moving forward is to utilize our capital and
borrowing capacity to participate in investment and acquisition
opportunities as they become available. It is often said that times of
volatility and challenge are times which present the greatest
opportunity. In 2008, we intend to pursue opportunities, both within and
outside the real estate industry, using a combination of our cash on
hand and third party equity and debt financing.
Land Division: "Core Communities ("Core”),
our master-planned community subsidiary reported total revenue of $13.5
million for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $40.7 million during
the comparable 2006 period. Core’s fourth
quarter revenue includes the sale of approximately 38 acres generating
$13.1 million with a margin of 50%.
"While Tradition, Florida encompasses more
than 8,200 total acres, including approximately 3,900 net saleable
acres, plans include a 4.5-mile long employment corridor along I-95,
educational and health care facilities, commercial properties,
residential developments and other uses in a series of mixed-use
parcels. Further, for some time Core has been focused on the development
of a research park as part of this corridor. We are pleased to report
that our 120 acre research park has become a reality and we have named
it the Florida Center for Innovation at Tradition ("Florida
Center for Innovation” or "FCI”).
When completed, FCI will include nearly two million square feet of
research and development space, and activities have already commenced
including a 300 bed Martin Memorial Health Systems hospital, the new
headquarters for the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies
(TPIMS), and Mann Research Center’s plans to
build a 400,000 square foot life sciences complex. Also, Oregon Health &
Science University’s Vaccine and Gene Therapy
Institute recently announced plans to locate a 120,000-square-foot
facility within FCI.
"Core’s fourth
quarter results include the purchase by Mann Research Center of a 22.4
acre parcel within FCI, and the sale of a 14.5 acre parcel for the
development of a Homewood Suites by Hilton®.
Construction of the 111 suite Homewood Suites by Hilton® is slated to begin in spring 2008, with a targeted opening of
spring 2009. Future plans include an additional 200 room hotel that
would feature banquet and meeting space.
"The recently opened Landing at Tradition,
Core’s approximate 600,000 square foot, 80
acre retail power center, welcomed holiday shoppers to more than 30
nationally branded retail stores including Target, Babies "R”
Us, Bed Bath & Beyond, LA Fitness, Michaels, Office Max, Old Navy,
PetSmart, Pier 1 Imports, The Sports Authority and TJ Maxx, all of which
are opening their first stores in St. Lucie County. Further, Tradition
Square, Core’s 112,000 square foot mixed-use
development, which serves as the town center for Tradition Florida, is
fully leased.
"As part of Core’s
business plan, Core is actively marketing its income producing
commercial assets in Florida, which includes the Landing at Tradition
and Tradition Square. This is in addition to the continued marketing of
commercial land parcels to users and third party developers.
"Tradition South Carolina, the 5,400 acre
community, officially changed its name to `Tradition Hilton Head' in
November 2007, in an effort to better communicate to potential
homebuyers its close proximity to Hilton Head Island.
"In the fourth quarter, the HGTV lifestyle
network announced plans to build its first ‘green’
home in Tradition Hilton Head. During the HGTV Green Home Giveaway 2008sm,
viewers nationwide can enter to win the home and prize package valued at
approximately $850,000. The over 2,000 square foot, fully furnished,
three bedroom, two and a half bath home features both construction and
design elements that are known to contribute to an energy efficient,
cleaner and even healthier living environment. The home will be featured
in the HGTV Green Home 2008 special and marketed in multiple media
outlets by HGTV showcasing the green home and Tradition Hilton Head.

"Core Communities’
third party backlog at December 31, 2007 consisted of contracts for the
sale of 259 acres with a sales value of $77.9 million, compared with
contracts for the sale of 74 acres with a sales value of $21.1 million
at December 31, 2006.
"Total SG&A expenses at Core Communities
increased to $5.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 from $4.4
million for the comparable 2006 period. This increase reflects
additional employees associated with supporting expansion into the South
Carolina market and increasing activity in commercial leasing operations
as well as increased marketing and advertising expenditures designed to
attract buyers in Florida and establish a market presence in South
Carolina.
Bluegreen Corporation: "As previously discussed, Levitt Corporation
holds an approximate 31% ownership interest (approximately 9.5 million
shares of common stock) in Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG). Levitt
Corporation’s Chairman and Vice Chairman also
serve as Chairman and Vice Chairman of Bluegreen Corporation.
"For the fourth quarter of 2007, Bluegreen
Corporation reported net income of $8.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted
share, up from $1.8 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the comparable
period of 2006. Total sales in the fourth quarter of 2007 rose 7.6% to
$136.6 million, up from $126.9 million in the same period last year.
This increase was attributable to record vacation ownership ("Resorts")
sales and higher homesite ("Bluegreen Communities") sales. For the full
year ended December 31, 2007, Bluegreen Corporation reported net income
of $31.9 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, up from net income of
$29.8 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, in the comparable twelve
months of 2006. For the full year 2007, total sales increased 3.5% to
$582.8 million from total sales of $563.1 million in 2006, and Resorts
sales rose 13.6% to $453.5 million, up from $399.1 million in the
comparable 2006 period. Bluegreen Communities sales during 2007 were
$129.2 million, a decrease from sales of $164.0 million during 2006. As
of December 31, 2007, Bluegreen Corporation’s
book value was $12.34 per share.
"Based on Levitt Corporation’s
ownership interest of Bluegreen Corporation, income was $2.8 million for
the fourth quarter of 2007, versus $0.7 million in the corresponding
2006 period. For the full year ended December 31, 2007, income was $10.3
million, versus $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
"Bluegreen recently announced its intention
to pursue a rights offering to its shareholders of up to $100 million of
its common stock. Bluegreen intends to file a registration statement
relating to the rights offering in March 2008. We own approximately 31%
of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock and
we currently intend to participate in this rights offering and to
support the efforts of Bluegreen’s management
to maximize shareholder value through organic and acquisition-driven
growth initiatives and then exploring strategic alternatives.
Other Operations: "SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of 2007
increased to $10.6 million as compared to $7.8 million for the same 2006
period. The increase was attributable in part to increased restructuring
related expenses as a result of terminations during 2007 and included
severance paid to Levitt Corporation employees and additional
commitments made by Levitt Corporation to terminated Levitt and Sons
employees to supplement the limited termination benefits granted by
Levitt and Sons. Restructuring expenses also included facilities
expenses related to the termination of agreements in place for various
equipment, sites and services that no longer provide an economic benefit
to the Company. In addition to the restructuring expenses, professional
services expense increased in 2007 related to securities filings and the
Levitt and Sons bankruptcy filing. Partially offsetting these increases
were decreases in compensation and benefits expense related to
stock-based compensation and incentive compensation due to the decrease
in headcount during 2007 and decreased employee recruitment costs.
Homebuilding Division: "Levitt Corporation deconsolidated Levitt and
Sons as of November 9, 2007, eliminating all future operations of Levitt
and Sons from the financial results of Levitt Corporation, and records
any remaining investment in Levitt and Sons, net of any outstanding
advances due from Levitt and Sons, as a cost method investment. Under
cost method accounting, income will only be recognized to the extent of
cash received in the future or when the Company is discharged from the
bankruptcy, at which time, any loss in excess of the investment in
subsidiary can be recognized into income,”
Levan concluded.

affect the accuracy of the forward-looking statements apply generally to
the real estate industry, while other factors apply directly to Levitt

results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements including: the impact of economic, competitive and
other factors affecting the Company and its operations; the market for
real estate in the areas where the Company has developments, including
the impact of market conditions on the Company’s
margins and the fair value of our real estate inventory; the risk
that the value of the property held by Core Communities may decline,
including as a result of a sustained downturn in the residential real
estate and homebuilding industries; the impact of market conditions for
commercial property and whether the factors negatively impacting the
homebuilding and residential real estate industries will impact the
market for commercial property; the risk that the development of parcels
and master-planned communities will not be completed as anticipated;
continued declines in the estimated fair value of our real estate
inventory and the potential for write-downs or impairment charges; the
effects of increases in interest rates and availability of credit to
buyers of our inventory; accelerated principal payments of our debt
obligations due to re-margining of curtailment payment requirements; the
ability to obtain financing and to renew existing credit facilities on
acceptable terms, if at all; the Company's ability to access additional
capital on acceptable terms, if at all; the risks and uncertainties
inherent in bankruptcy proceedings and the inability to predict the
effect of Levitt and Sons’ reorganization
and/or liquidation process on Levitt Corporation and its results of
operation and financial condition; the risk that creditors of Levitt and
Sons may be successful in asserting claims against Levitt Corporation
and the risk that any of Levitt Corporation’s
assets may become subject to or included in Levitt and Sons’
bankruptcy case; and the Company’s success at
managing the risks involved in the foregoing. Many of these
factors are beyond the Company’s control and
the Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive. Additional

(a)
Margin is calculated as sales of real estate minus cost of sales of
real estate. Homebuilding Division impairment charges and write-offs
of deposits and pre-acquisition costs included in cost of sales for
the quarters ended December 31, 2006; March 31, 2007; June 30, 2007
and September 30, 2007; total $31.1 million, $282,000, $63.0 million
and $154.3 million, respectively. There were no impairment charges
for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
(b)
Diluted (loss) earning per share takes into account the dilutive
effect of our stock options and restricted stock using the treasury
stock method and the dilution in earnings we recognize as a result
of outstanding Bluegreen securities that entitle the holders thereof
to acquire shares of Bluegreen's common stock. The weighted average
number of common shares outstanding in basic and diluted (loss)
earnings per share for all prior periods presented have been
retroactively adjusted for a number of shares representing a bonus
element arising from the rights offering that closed at a higher
price ($2.05) on October 1, 2007 than the offering price of $2.00
per share.
(c)
Margin percentage is calculated by dividing margin by sales of real
estate.
(d)
Calculated by dividing net income (loss) by average shareholders'
equity. Average shareholders' equity is calculated by averaging the
equity balance at the end of the current period with the equity
balance at the end of the same period in the prior year.
(e)
Backlog includes all homes subject to sales contracts.
(f)
Land sales to the Homebuilding Division represented $15.5 million of
the total revenues and $4.6 million of margin from sales of real
estate for the three months ended December 31, 2006. There were no
land sales to the Homebuilding Division during 2007. These
inter-segment transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
(g)
Estimated net saleable acres (subject to final zoning, permitting,
and other governmental regulations/approvals). Includes
approximately 56 acres related to assets held for sale as of
December 31, 2007.
(h)
Average closing price of homes delivered excludes lot sales and land
sales in the Homebuilding Division.
(i)
Consists of land sales, look back fees and revenue recognition of
previously deferred revenue associated with percentage of completion
accounting.
