KB Home (KBH) Gets Worse

At KB Home (KBH) revenues totaled $2.07 billion for the quarter ended November 30, 2007, down from $3.01 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2006, primarily reflecting lower housing revenues.

KBH reported a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $399.0 million for the quarter ended November 30, 2007 due to pretax, non-cash charges of $403.4 million associated with inventory and joint venture impairments and the abandonment of certain land option contracts. In the year-earlier quarter, the company posted a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $171.1 million due to $343.3 million of pretax, non-cash impairment and abandonment charges.

KBH delivered 23,743 new homes in fiscal year 2007, down 26% from the 32,124 new homes it delivered in fiscal year 2006.
