For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company generated total revenues of $317.3 million, an improvement of $76.3 million, or 31.7%, compared to $241.0 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to strength in our Homebuilding segment, attributable to significant growth in homes delivered and higher average selling prices.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, net income attributable to common shareholders was $127.0 million, or $5.86 per diluted share.  Included in the year was a $125.6 million, or $5.80 per diluted share, income tax benefit due to the reversal of a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, a ($19.7) million, or ($0.91) per diluted share, charge related to two preferred stock dividends, of which ($19.0) million was non-cash, and a ($5.1) million, or ($0.24) per diluted share, early repayment of debt charge related to the repayment of $125.0 million of senior secured term notes due 2017.

Revenues from homes delivered for the year ended 2013 were $213.5 million, up 53.0% from the prior year.  The average selling price was $433,000, an increase of 9.3% from the prior year, primarily attributable to an improved pricing environment and changes in product mix.  The Company delivered 493 homes, an increase of 40.1% from the prior year.   Adjusted gross margin from homes delivered, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 32.0%, compared to 33.2% in the prior year, with the decline attributable to shifting product mix.
