"A shareholder advisory group urged Beazer Homes's board Tuesday to fire Chief Executive Ian McCarthy because of financial, legal and accounting problems that the homebuilder has faced in recent months."
"Beazer has been beset by turmoil in the housing industry that has caused its number of home closings to plunge. Internal problems at the company have exacerbated the situation."
"On Monday, it said it expects to record pretax charges of $230 million in its fiscal fourth quarter."
"It also said it cut 650 jobs, or 25 percent of its work force, in October and is suspending its quarterly dividend to reduce costs."
"The homebuilder said it is unable to provide a full, audited report of its results for the quarter ended Sept. 30, but wanted to provide some preliminary data to investors."
"The company is currently in the midst of restating financial results for several prior-year periods."
"In the midst of restating financial results for several prior-year periods" is not a good sign. Here's a recap of the Beazer problems. Nothing else needs to be said.
