reaching “ 2b-10 ” in november 2013 , we introduced a multi-year “ 2b-10 ” plan , which provided a roadmap of revenue and margin metrics to achieve $ 2 billion in revenue with a 10 % adjusted ebitda margin . taken together , reaching “ 2b-10 ” would result in adjusted ebitda of at least $ 200 million . in november 2015 , we have refined the specific metrics we expect will lead us to our “ 2b-10 ” objectives by providing ranges to each metric instead of point estimates . since we rolled out our “ 2b-10 ” plan , we have consistently noted that there are a number of paths to achieving our underlying goal of $ 200 million of ebitda . additionally , during the second quarter of our fiscal 2015 , we made the decision that we would not continue to reinvest in new homebuilding assets in our new jersey division , which had a modest impact on the timing of the achievement of our “ 2b-10 ” objectives . nonetheless , we continue our commitment to reaching these objectives as soon as possible . we expect to reach these objectives by making improvements on five key metrics : ( 1 ) sales per community per month ( or our absorption rate ) ; ( 2 ) active community count ; ( 3 ) average selling prices ( asp ) ; ( 4 ) homebuilding gross margins and ( 5 ) cost leverage as measured by selling , general and administrative costs ( sg & a ) as a percentage of total revenue . during fiscal 2015 , we continued to make progress on several of these metrics , most notably by growing revenue to $ 1.6 billion , up 11.2 % year-over-year , and increasing our community count to 166 as of september 30 , 2015 , which is up from 155 as of the end of the prior fiscal year . adjusted ebitda was $ 126.8 million compared to $ 128.3 million in the prior year , a slight decline 24 of 1.1 % , and adjusted ebitda margin was 7.8 % compared to 8.8 % in the prior fiscal year , a decline of 100 basis points . however , excluding the one-time items noted above ( related to the florida stucco issues and litigation settlement in discontinued operations ) , adjusted ebitda would have increased 8.1 % year-over-year , after also adjusting fiscal 2014 for the florida stucco issues and the water intrusion issue in new jersey ( refer to item 6 , selected financial data , in this form 10-k for a reconciliation of adjusted ebitda ) . these improvements were due to the intense focus we have placed on the operational drivers of this plan , and in part , to stronger home pricing conditions . our progress on each metric is discussed in more detail below . during fiscal 2015 , our rate of sales per community per month was 2.8 , which was comparable with the prior fiscal year and remains one of the strongest absorption rates in the industry . although we experienced declining absorption rates in our most recent quarter due in part to a dip in consumer confidence and fears relating to interest rates , we are still an industry leader in this metric and continue to focus on it as a top strategic priority . our updated “ 2b-10 ” plan anticipates sales per community per month to be in the range of 2.8 to 3.2 . over the past couple of years , we significantly increased our level of land investments in an effort to grow our active community count . we purchased mostly raw and partially developed land in some of the best school districts and most active job markets in the country . we ended fiscal 2015 with 166 active communities , which was 7.1 % higher than a year earlier . for fiscal 2016 , we plan to continue our investment in current and replacement communities to drive year-over-year order growth . our revised “ 2b-10 ” target metric is a community count range between 170 and 175 , which we are approaching . although we have been buying land in almost all of our markets , our incremental land investments over the past couple of years have been disproportionately focused on securing attractive parcels in texas , california and the mid-atlantic , which feature some of the strongest employment characteristics and school districts in the country , as well as some of our higher-priced product lines . this geographic mix shift , combined with some market pricing power , has led to a significant rise in our asp from $ 284.8 thousand last year to $ 313.5 thousand this year . in addition , we ended fiscal 2015 with an asp for our units in backlog of $ 327.6 thousand , indicating that future asps should continue to increase . our targeted “ 2b-10 ” metric for asp has been increased to a range of $ 330.0 thousand to $ 340.0 thousand . we lost some progress on improving homebuilding gross margin during fiscal 2015 . for the year , our homebuilding gross margin ( excluding impairments , abandonments and interest in cost of sales ) declined 130 basis points to 20.6 % . our “ 2b-10 ” target for our homebuilding margin metric is now between 21.0 % and 22.0 % . excluding the impact of florida stucco issues , offset by the credit for anticipated insurance recoveries , homebuilding margin would have been 21.5 % for fiscal 2015 , which is within our revised “ 2b-10 ” target range . as discussed further below , our homebuilding gross margin has declined due to an increase in the cost of land , driven by both market conditions and the structure of our land deals , and labor , as well as geographic mix . story_separator_special_tag the tax benefit recognized during the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2015 was related to the release of a substantial portion of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets that we established beginning in fiscal 2008. for a further discussion of this release , refer to note 13 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in this form 10-k. the tax benefit recognized during the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2014 related primarily to the refund of tax and accrued interest from our irs examination closing , release of estimated liabilities for previously uncertain tax positions and utilization of certain carryback opportunities . the tax benefit recognized during the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2013 related primarily to our release of estimated liabilities for previously uncertain tax positions and utilization of certain carryback opportunities . fiscal year ended september 30 , 2015 as compared to 2014 west segment : homebuilding revenues increased 8.8 % for the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2015 compared to the prior fiscal year , primarily due to an 11.1 % increase in asp , partially offset by a 2.1 % decrease in closings . the decrease in closings was driven by a lower backlog at the start of the year from lower new orders , net during our fiscal 2014. however , new orders , net in fiscal 2015 quickly picked up , particularly in our texas and california operations . as compared to the prior fiscal year , our homebuilding gross profit increased $ 1.2 million on lower closings , partially due to $ 4.9 million in impairments and abandonments recognized in fiscal 2014. homebuilding gross margins without impairments and abandonments decreased from 23.3 % to 20.8 % due to community and geographic mix , as well as increases in indirect construction costs . greater year-over-year homebuilding gross profit and an increase in land sales and other gross profit of $ 3.2 million , partially offset by an increase in commissions and selling and marketing costs ( due to an increase in homebuilding revenues and growth in community count , respectively ) , led to a net increase in operating income of $ 1.8 million over fiscal 2014. east segment : homebuilding revenues increased 4.6 % for the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2015 compared to the prior fiscal year , driven by an 8.2 % increase in asp , partially offset by a 3.4 % decrease in closings . the decline in closings is primarily due to a year-over-year reduction in new jersey , where we elected not to continue to reinvest in new homebuilding assets . the increase in homebuilding revenues led to a $ 5.1 million increase in our homebuilding gross profit . homebuilding gross margins in our east segment increased only slightly , from 18.9 % in fiscal 2014 to 19.0 % in the current fiscal year , as the positive impact of product and geographic mix were largely offset by lower margins generated by communities being closed out in new jersey and the impact of a warranty charge of approximately $ 0.6 million recorded in the prior year period for one new jersey community . the increase in operating income in the east segment of $ 4.4 million was driven primarily by our increased homebuilding revenues and related gross profit , partially offset by a year-over-year decline in gross profit on land sales . southeast segment : homebuilding revenues increased 25.8 % for the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2015 compared to the prior fiscal year , driven by an 11.4 % increase in closings combined with a 12.9 % increase in asp . this increase in revenues drove a $ 12.3 million increase in homebuilding gross profit . homebuilding gross margin in our southeast segment declined from 19.2 % in fiscal 2014 to 18.1 % due to the current year charge related to the florida stucco issues of $ 26.3 million , offset by $ 12.7 million in anticipated insurance recoveries recorded because the company exceeded its policy thresholds ( for a net negative margin impact of $ 13.6 million ) , partially offset by ( 1 ) $ 4.3 million of prior year charges related to the florida stucco issues and ( 2 ) impairments and abandonments recorded in the prior year of $ 2.5 million . excluding these amounts , margin for both fiscal 2015 and 2014 would have been 21.2 % . the higher homebuilding gross profit was partially offset by ( 1 ) an increase in year-over-year commissions on account of higher asps and closings and ( 2 ) incremental sales and marketing and g & a costs to support a higher community count , resulting in a higher operating income for our southeast segment of $ 5.3 million . corporate and unallocated : corporate and unallocated includes amortization of capitalized interest and indirects , as well as costs related to numerous shared services functions that benefit all segments , including information technology , treasury , corporate finance , legal , branding and national marketing . the costs of these shared services are not allocated to the operating segments . for the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2015 , our corporate and unallocated costs increased $ 15.5 million compared to the prior year due to an increase in interest amortized to cost of sales ( refer to note 6 of notes to the consolidated financial statements in this form 10-k ) , as well as certain incremental g & a expenditures related to our business growth . also included in the corporate and unallocated 31 line for the current fiscal year is a $ 6.2 million credit from the recording of anticipated insurance recoveries above those related to the florida stucco issues , which is partially offsetting the increased interest and g & a costs . fiscal year ended september 30 , 2014 as compared to 2013 west segment : homebuilding revenues decreased 1.2 % for

net cash used in financing activities was $ 18.9 million for the year ended september 30 , 2015 , primarily related to the repayment of certain borrowings , including the remaining senior amortizing notes related to our tangible equity units , $ 2.0 million of our senior notes due 2016 , and certain other secured notes payable . net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended september 30 , 2014 was $ 12.2 million , primarily related to the net proceeds from the issuance of $ 325 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75 % senior notes due june 2019 ( the june 2019 notes ) at par ( before underwriting and other issuance costs ) through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers . the proceeds from the issuance of the june 2019 notes were used to redeem all of our then outstanding senior notes due june 2018 ( the 2018 notes ) , including the applicable $ 17.2 million call price and make-whole premiums provided for by the 2018 notes . in fiscal 2013 , we completed a $ 200 million senior debt offering , the net proceeds of which were used to repay our then outstanding 2015 senior notes and repurchase a portion of our 2019 senior notes . further , in september 2013 , we completed another $ 200 million senior debt offering , the proceeds of which were used to fund additional land acquisitions , land development and for general corporate purposes . during fiscal 2013 , we also repaid $ 205 million of our cash secured loans . these transactions resulted in $ 1.2 million of cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2013. financial position .

commissions and selling and marketing costs ( due to an increase in homebuilding revenues and growth in community count , respectively ) , led to a net increase in operating income of $ 1.8 million over fiscal 2014. east segment : homebuilding revenues increased 4.6 % for the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2015 compared to the prior fiscal year , driven by an 8.2 % increase in asp , partially offset by a 3.4 % decrease in closings . the decline in closings is primarily due to a year-over-year reduction in new jersey , where we elected not to continue to reinvest in new homebuilding assets

revenues increased 25.8 % for the fiscal year ended september 30 , 2015 compared to the prior fiscal year , driven by an 11.4 % increase in closings combined with a 12.9 % increase in asp . this increase in revenues drove a $ 12.3 million increase in homebuilding gross profit . homebuilding gross margin in our southeast segment declined from 19.2 % in fiscal 2014 to 18.1 % due to the current year charge related to the florida stucco issues of $ 26.3 million , offset by $ 12.7 million in anticipated insurance recoveries recorded because the company exceeded its policy thresholds ( for a

the prior year of $ 2.5 million . excluding these amounts , margin for both fiscal 2015 and 2014 would have been 21.2 % . the higher homebuilding gross profit was partially offset by ( 1 ) an increase in year-over-year commissions on account of higher asps and closings and ( 2 ) incremental sales and marketing and g & a costs to support a higher community count , resulting in a higher operating income for our southeast segment of $ 5.3 million . corporate and unallocated : corporate and unallocated includes amortization of capitalized interest and indirects , as well as costs related to
