Conference Call and Webcast Today at 8:30 a.m. ET

LOUISVILLE, Colo., Nov. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biodesix, Inc. BDSX, a leading diagnostic solutions company, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“The Biodesix team is pleased to report another solid quarter focused on executing and delivering on our three main goals – driving revenue growth through the adoption of our lung diagnostic tests and biopharma services, continued implementation of operational efficiencies, and maintaining a cost-disciplined approach as we drive our business to profitability,” said Scott Hutton, CEO of Biodesix.

“We reported 40% year-over-year growth in lung diagnostics revenue, a growing book of biopharma services contracts, sustained gross margins in the high 70% range, and improved Net Loss on our path to profitability. In addition, at the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST), we presented new clinical data on our Nodify XL2® and Nodify CDT® tests, and announced a new clinical study (CLARIFY) to expand our data in diverse patient populations tested in a real-world clinical setting. Building on this momentum, we are reiterating our prior guidance of $70-$72 million for 2024 and we look forward to achieving Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the second half of 2025. At Biodesix, our tests play a vital role in treating the deadliest of all cancers. Our committed and driven team embraces the opportunity, and the responsibility, to transform the standard of care to improve outcomes for patients.”

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024 Business Highlights

Grew Lung Diagnostic test volume to 13,900, a 34% improvement over the third quarter of 2023.
Quarterly gross profit margin of 77.0% versus 76.1% for the third quarter of 2023.
Presented compelling new data at the CHEST Annual Meeting and announced the launch of a new clinical study, CLARIFY.
- New data was presented detailing the experience of healthcare providers using the Nodify Lung® Nodule Risk Assessment Tests (Nodify XL2 and Nodify CDT tests) in over 35,000 patients tested in a real-world clinical setting. Results shared were consistent with prior studies, highlighting the high proportion of results that up- or down-classify patients into actionable risk categories with clear, guideline-recommended, diagnostic plans.
- The new study, CLARIFY, is designed to confirm performance of the Nodify CDT and Nodify XL2 tests in diverse patient subgroups through a retrospective chart review of up to 4,000 patients that were tested in a real-world clinical setting. The study’s intent is to expand the extensive evidence characterizing the validation and utility of Nodify Lung testing.

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024 Financial Highlights

Total revenue of $18.2 million, an increase of 35% over the third quarter 2023:
- Lung Diagnostic revenue of $17.2 million reflected a year-over-year increase of 40% driven by the continued adoption of Nodify XL2 and Nodify CDT nodule risk assessment tests and strong reimbursement. However, test volumes were impacted at the end of the third quarter by disruption to patients, healthcare providers, and Biodesix teammates in the southeast due to Hurricane Helene;
- Biopharmaceutical Services revenue of $1.0 million decreased 17% year-over-year, driven by the timing of receipt of samples and shift of the completion of certain projects from the end of the third quarter into the beginning of the fourth;
Third quarter 2024 gross profit of $14.0 million, or 77.0% gross margin compared to 76.1% gross margin in the comparable prior year period. Our steady margin performance is primarily driven by volume growth in Lung Diagnostic testing that continues to drive down the per test costs;
Operating expenses (excluding direct costs and expenses) of $22.6 million, an increase of 29% as compared to the third quarter 2023, which includes $3.0 million of non-cash stock compensation expense and depreciation and amortization as compared to $1.7 million in third quarter of 2023. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in sales and marketing costs to support both business lines’ sales growth to enhance product awareness and drive adoption, and an increase in depreciation expense related to the leasehold improvements in the Company’s Louisville, CO offices and laboratory which opened in January 2024;
Net loss of $10.3 million, an improvement of 6% as compared to the same period of 2023;
Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $5.6 million, a slight increase over the loss of $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2023 and consistent with the second quarter of 2024;
Cash and cash equivalents of $31.4 million as of September 30, 2024, a decrease from $42.2 million from June 30, 2024;
- Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 includes the final milestone payment of $6.1 million for the acquisition of Integrated Diagnostics in 2018.

2024 – 2025 Financial Outlook

The Company is reiterating the 2024 revenue forecast of between $70 million and $72 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Biodesix reported results are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Biodesix has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Biodesix uses the non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Biodesix financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with Biodesix financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Biodesix historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it provides a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods. In addition, we believe that providing Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, helps investors make comparisons between our Company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, and/or different forms of employee compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA help our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period- to-period comparisons of Net loss or Loss from operations. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as Net loss adjusted to exclude interest, income tax expense, if any, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishments, net, COVID-19 revenue, COVID-19 direct costs and expenses, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, net, other income, net, and other non-recurring items. Non-recurring items are excluded as they are not representative of our underlying operating performance. We also exclude revenue and direct costs and expenses associated with COVID-19 because we believe that these revenues and expenses do not reflect expected future operating results as they do not represent our Lung Diagnostic and Biopharmaceutical Services business. Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for Loss from operations, Net loss, and other GAAP measures.

Jim Cramer Warns Apple Stock Should Have 'Never Been Up That Much' After Q3 Earnings Even As This Analyst Defends iPhone 16 Launch

01.11.2024 by admin

After Apple Inc.’s AAPL forecast cuts following the company’s fourth-quarter results, “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer cautions that “the stock should never have been up that much,” while Dan Ives defends the company’s strong iPhone 16 launch.

What Happened: On Thursday, Cramer took to X, formerly Twitter, and suggested that Apple’s lowered financial forecast, indicating a slowdown, has now been “absorbed” by the market, which he thinks brings down overhyped expectations to a more “reasonable” level

Okay we are over the big bad forecast cut for Apple. Tomorrow we get price target cuts and maybe a downgrade or two but now expectations are at last reasonable.. Interesting that Europe was strong for BOTH Apple and Amazon

— Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) October 31, 2024

Cramer also implied Apple hasn’t faced as much criticism for spending on AI compared to other tech giants, possibly because investors don’t think Apple’s AI efforts are as significant or game-changing.

“Oh and, tell me, please, who was surprised by the forecast guidedown? The stock should never have been up that much…,” he stated.

Let’s noodle on this. The hyperscalers are all attacked for spending too much. Apple gets a free a.i. ride but it means nothing to the Apple bears…Oh and, tell me, please, who was surprised by the forecast guidedown? The stock should never have been up that much…

— Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) October 31, 2024

Contrarily, Wedbush analyst Ives defended Apple’s fourth-quarter performance. He lauded the successful launch of iPhone 16 and forecasted a robust December quarter for the company, propelled by the rollout of Apple Intelligence.

Ives also conveyed his conviction that the strong performance will persist throughout the rest of the fiscal year 2025, despite a lower guide delta for wearables, Mac, and iPad.

This was a solid q for Apple and the iPhone 16 launch appears be off to a very good start. The rollout of Apple Intelligence will result in a strong Dec q but will also flow into rest of FY25. We believe Dec guide delta is lower wearables/Mac/iPad..iPhone and Services solid🐂🏆🍎

— Dan Ives (@DivesTech) November 1, 2024

Why It Matters: Apple announced fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $94.9 billion, surpassing analyst predictions of $94.56 billion. The company also reported adjusted earnings of $1.64 per share for the quarter, exceeding expectations of $1.60 per share.

This marks the seventh consecutive quarter that Apple has exceeded analyst forecasts for both revenue and earnings, according to Benzinga Pro.

During the earnings call on Thursday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the adoption rate of iOS 18.1 has doubled that of its predecessor, iOS 17.1, indicating a strong demand for the new iPhone 16.

However, previously it was reported that Apple had to resort to aggressive pricing strategies, including discounts on Alibaba’s Tmall, to counter the initial lukewarm response to the iPhone 16 in China.

Price Action: Apple’s stock fell 1.8% on Thursday to close at $225.91, and fell over 1.2% in premarket trading on Friday. Year-to-date, Apple’s shares are up 21.7%, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Boeing Sweetens Deal With 38% Wage Hike, $12K Bonus And More To End 7-Week Strike: Vote Set For Monday

01.11.2024 by admin

Striking employees at Boeing Co. BA are poised to vote on a new contract proposal on Monday. The proposal, which includes a 38% wage increase over four years and a larger signing bonus, has received backing from the workers’ union.

What Happened: The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) stated that they have negotiated the best possible terms with Boeing. Previously, union members had turned down two offers from the company.

Reuters reported on Friday that this new offer comes as Boeing attempts to stabilize its finances amid a seven-week strike involving over 33,000 factory workers on the U.S. West Coast. The strike has significantly affected Boeing’s cash flow and halted production of key aircraft models.

Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su facilitated recent negotiations, lauding both parties for their efforts. President Joe Biden also praised the union and Boeing for reaching a new contract proposal, highlighting the sacrifices made by Boeing’s machinists.

Boeing’s latest offer includes a $12,000 ratification bonus, integrating previous bonuses into workers’ 401(k) retirement accounts. Despite the improved terms, approval remains uncertain as some workers express dissatisfaction due to the absence of a defined-benefit pension.

Why It Matters: The ongoing strike has already cost Boeing an estimated $2 billion over the last five weeks. The machinists’ rejection of previous offers has added further uncertainty to Boeing’s financial recovery efforts.

In a bid to bolster its finances, Boeing recently expanded its stock offering, aiming for a $20.7 billion windfall. The company priced its public offerings at 112.5 million shares of common stock at $143.00 each.

Price Action: Boeing saw its stock climb higher by 2.77% during the after-hours market after it closed at $149.31 on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
(Compared to third quarter 2023 unless otherwise noted)

Total Revenue decreased 3.4% to $78.5 million
Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds¹ decreased 3.3% to $58.4 million, driven by negative 3.0% organic growth² and 0.3% adverse foreign currency movements

RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “RE/MAX Holdings”) RMAX, parent company of RE/MAX, one of the world’s leading franchisors of real estate brokerage services, and Motto Mortgage (“Motto”), the first and only national mortgage brokerage franchise brand in the U.S., today announced operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Operating Results

Agent Count

The following table compares agent count as of September 30, 2024 and 2023:


	As of September 30,		Change
	2024	2023	#	%
U.S.	52,808	56,494	(3,686)	(6.5)
Canada	25,393	25,288	105	0.4
Subtotal	78,201	81,782	(3,581)	(4.4)
Outside the U.S. & Canada	67,282	63,527	3,755	5.9
Total	145,483	145,309	174	0.1

Revenue

RE/MAX Holdings generated revenue of $78.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 3.4%, compared to $81.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was $58.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 3.3%, versus the same period in 2023. The decrease in Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was attributable to negative organic revenue growth of 3.0% and adverse foreign currency movements of 0.3%. Negative organic revenue growth was principally driven by a decrease in U.S. agent count and a reduction in revenue from previous acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in Broker fee revenue.

Recurring revenue streams, which consist of continuing franchise fees and annual dues, decreased $1.5 million, or 3.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2023 and accounted for 66.4% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 66.7% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds in the prior-year period.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $63.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $39.0 million, or 38.1%, compared to $102.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company agreed to pay $55.0 million to settle various industry class-action lawsuits, which was recorded in the third quarter of 2023. A $24.9 million gain on reduction in tax receivable agreement liability was also recorded in the third quarter of 2023.

Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $35.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 16.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2023 and represented 61.5% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, compared to 71.4% in the prior-year period. Third quarter 2024 selling, operating and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower personnel costs and a decrease in bad debt, legal, and other technology expenses.

Net Income (Loss) and GAAP EPS

Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings was $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to net loss of ($59.5) million for the third quarter of 2023. Reported basic and diluted GAAP earnings per share were $0.05 each for the third quarter of 2024 compared to basic and diluted GAAP loss per share of ($3.28) each in the third quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EBITDA was $27.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.5 million, or 2.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to a decrease in bad debt, legal, personnel, and other technology expenses, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. agent count. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 34.8% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 32.9% in the third quarter of 2023.

Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were $0.39 and $0.38, respectively, for the third quarter of 2024 compared to Adjusted basic and diluted EPS of $0.40 each for the third quarter of 2023. The ownership structure used to calculate Adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, assumes RE/MAX Holdings owned 100% of RMCO, LLC (“RMCO”). The weighted average ownership RE/MAX Holdings had in RMCO was 60.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $83.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million from December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $441.8 million of outstanding debt, net of an unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, compared to $444.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

As previously disclosed, in January 2022 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2024, $62.5 million remained available under the share repurchase program.

Impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton

Several of the Company’s affiliates were impacted by the recent hurricanes. While the extent of the hurricanes’ full impact on the Company’s networks is not entirely known at this time, the Company currently estimates that its fourth quarter revenue will be lower than previously expected as financial support is provided to affected affiliates for a limited time. As a result, the Company’s fourth quarter and full year revenue (below) was reduced by approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million, of which approximately 40% relates to the Marketing Funds, to reflect expected foregone revenue in the form of fee waivers provided to affiliates impacted by these storms.

Outlook

The Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2024 Outlook includes the impact of the fee waivers to hurricane-impacted affiliates and assumes no further currency movements, acquisitions, or divestitures.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, RE/MAX Holdings expects:

Agent count to change 0.0% to 1.0% over fourth quarter 2023;
Revenue in a range of $71.0 million to $76.0 million (including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of $18.5 million to $20.5 million); and
Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $20.5 million to $23.5 million.

For the full year 2024, the Company now expects:

Agent count to change 0.0% to 1.0% over full year 2023, changed from negative 1.0% to positive 1.0%;
Revenue in a range of $306.0 million to $311.0 million (including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of $78.5 million to $80.5 million), changed from $305.0 million to $315.0 million (including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of $78.0 million to $82.0 million); and
Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $95.0 million to $98.0 million, changed from $93.0 million to $98.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC and in public disclosures of financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto, Adjusted net income, Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and adjusted free cash flow. These measures are derived based on methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is calculated directly from our consolidated financial statements as Total revenue less Marketing Funds fees.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and the provision for income taxes, each of which is presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements included earlier in this press release), adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that the Company does not consider representative of its ongoing operating performance: loss or gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, gain on reduction in tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income related to changes in the estimated fair value measurement of contingent consideration, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin omit certain non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges or other items, the Company believes that each measure is less susceptible to variances that affect its operating performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA and the related Adjusted EBITDA margin because the Company believes they are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of its operating businesses and provides greater transparency into the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as factors in evaluating the performance of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;
these measures do not reflect the Company’s interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on its debt;
these measures do not reflect the Company’s income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay its taxes;
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements to pay dividends to stockholders of the Company’s Class A common stock and tax and other cash distributions to its non-controlling unitholders;
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements pursuant to the tax receivable agreements;
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for share repurchases;
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for the settlement of industry class-action lawsuits and other legal settlements;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
although equity-based compensation is a non-cash charge, the issuance of equity-based awards may have a dilutive impact on earnings per share; and
other companies may calculate these measures differently so similarly named measures may not be comparable.

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance does not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments to EBITDA in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior quarters, such as gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, gains or losses from changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income related to changes in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs.

Adjusted net income is calculated as Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-controlling interests for shares of Class A common stock as of the beginning of the period (and the related increase to the provision for income taxes after such exchange), plus primarily non-cash items and other items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s operating performance (e.g., amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain on sale or disposition of assets and sub-lease, non-cash impairment charges, acquisition-related expense, restructuring charges and equity-based compensation expense).

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) are calculated as Adjusted net income (as defined above) divided by pro forma (assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-controlling interests) basic and diluted weighted average shares, as applicable.

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS are supplemental measures of operating performance that management believes are useful measures to evaluate the Company’s performance relative to the performance of its competitors as well as performance period over period. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-controlling interests, management believes these measures:

facilitate comparisons with other companies that do not have a low effective tax rate driven by a non-controlling interest on a pass-through entity;
facilitate period over period comparisons because they eliminate the effect of changes in Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. driven by increases in its ownership of RMCO, LLC, which are unrelated to the Company’s operating performance; and
eliminate primarily non-cash and other items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s operating performance.

Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operations less capital expenditures and any changes in restricted cash of the Marketing Funds, all as reported under GAAP, and quantifies how much cash a company has to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value. The restricted cash of the Marketing Funds is limited in use for the benefit of franchisees and any impact to adjusted free cash flow is removed. The Company believes adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors as a supplemental measure as it calculates the cash flow available for working capital needs, re-investment opportunities, potential Independent Region and strategic acquisitions, dividend payments or other strategic uses of cash.

Adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions to RIHI is calculated as adjusted free cash flow less tax and other non-dividend distributions paid to RIHI (the non-controlling interest holder) to enable RIHI to satisfy its income tax obligations. Similar payments would be made by the Company directly to federal and state taxing authorities as a component of the Company’s consolidated provision for income taxes if a full exchange of non-controlling interests occurred in the future. As a result and given the significance of the Company’s ongoing tax and non-dividend distribution obligations to its non-controlling interest, adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provides a meaningful view of cash flow available to the Company to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value.

Unencumbered cash generated is calculated as adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions to RIHI less quarterly debt principal payments less annual excess cash flow payment on debt, as applicable. Given the significance of the Company’s excess cash flow payment on debt, when applicable, unencumbered cash generated, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provides a meaningful view of the cash flow available to the Company to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value after considering its debt service obligations.

Longmont Homeowners Association Wins $6.413 Million Arbitration Award Against Dream Finders Homes for Construction Defects

01.11.2024 by admin

LONGMONT, Colo., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The construction defect law firm Kerrane Storz, P.C. achieved a major win this month for the Parkes at Stonebridge Townhome Owners Association against Dream Finders Homes.

Dream Finders built the 92-unit townhome community known as Parkes at Stonebridge in Longmont, Colorado from 2018 to 2021. Dream Finders promised homeowners “peace of mind” when they sold the homes to Coloradans but failed to deliver on that promise. Soon after moving in, the new homeowners noticed serious construction issues throughout the community including crumbling driveways, heaving sidewalks, and sagging garage awnings.

Depending on the season, sidewalks became dangerous due to ice buildup, ponding water, and slippery algae growth. These conditions caused injury to multiple homeowners who slipped and fell. When homeowners reported their safety concerns, Dream Finders responded with haphazard, negligent repairs that failed to fix the construction problems and caused new hazards.

After multiple failed attempts to negotiate a settlement, the Association proceeded to arbitration against Dream Finders. The Association prevailed on its claims of negligence, breach of contract, breach of express warranty, and breach of implied warranty against Dream Finders. The Arbiter awarded the Association $5,733,471 for its cost of repairs and $679,732 for its litigation costs for a total award of $6,413,204. In addition, the Arbiter awarded the Association post-judgment interest on unpaid amounts until the award plus interest is paid in full.

Dream Finders objected to the award for litigation costs, arguing that the purchase agreements for the townhomes – which their lawyers drafted – prevented the recovery of these costs. The Arbiter disagreed, holding:

“Colorado law clearly provides for an award of costs to the prevailing party in a construction defect arbitration. Any express waiver or limitations on these rights are void as against public policy. Of course, actual damages include costs.”

“We are thrilled with this award for our client and look forward to seeing the community make much-needed repairs,” said Heidi Storz, lead attorney for the community. “This decision will serve other Colorado homeowners by putting developer/builders on notice that they will be held accountable for poor construction despite boilerplate, take-it-or-leave-it waivers they may include in purchase agreements.”

Dream Finders has paid part of the arbitration award. As of today’s date, however, Dream Finders has not satisfied its obligation to pay the post-judgment interest awarded to the Association by the Arbiter. On October 30, 2024, the Association filed a motion in Boulder County District Court seeking entry of judgment on the arbitration award. The Association plans to enforce the judgment as necessary to hold Dream Finders accountable for all they owe.

As of June 2024, Dream Finders Homes had built and sold almost 2,000 homes across the Front Range. Dream Finders Homes is now selling homes in newly built communities in Arvada, Aurora, Brighton, Broomfield, Littleton, Parker, Strasburg, Berthoud, Fort Collins, and Longmont.

The law firm of Kerrane Storz, P.C. represents Colorado and Texas homeowners and community associations in construction defect matters.

Mortgage Rates Increase for the Fifth Consecutive Week

01.11.2024 by admin

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Freddie Mac FMCC today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey ^® (PMMS^®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.72 percent.

“Increasing for the fifth consecutive week, mortgage rates reached their highest level since the beginning of August,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “With several potential inflection points happening over the next week, including the jobs report, the 2024 election, and the Federal Reserve interest rate decision, we can expect mortgage rates to remain volatile. Although uncertainty will remain, it does appear mortgage rates are cresting, and we do not expect them to reach the highs that we saw earlier this year.”

News Facts

The 30-year FRM averaged 6.72 percent as of October 31, 2024, up from last week when it averaged 6.54 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 7.76 percent.
The 15-year FRM averaged 5.99 percent, up from last week when it averaged 5.71 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 7.03 percent.
