Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “Our third quarter results were very strong highlighted by record new contracts, homes delivered, revenue and pre-tax income. New contracts for the quarter increased 32%, homes delivered increased 16%, revenue improved by 15%, and net income increased by 29%. Gross margin improved to 20.5%, a 130-basis point improvement from the second quarter of 2019. In addition, we continue to improve our operating leverage as our overhead expense ratio for the quarter was 12.2%, 50 basis points better than last year’s third quarter. The combination of our revenue growth and improved margins resulted in a 27% increase in pre-tax income to a third quarter record of $50.1 million.”





Mr. Schottenstein continued, “Our financial condition remains strong. We ended the third quarter with record-high shareholders’ equity of $955 million, an increase of 14% from 2018’s third quarter, book value per share of $34, and a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 44%. As we begin the final quarter of 2019, we are on track for another solid year of growth and improved financial performance.”

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful to investors in understanding our operations, and may be helpful in comparing us with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. These non-GAAP financial measures should be used to supplement our GAAP results in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
(2) Represents purchase accounting adjustments related to our acquisition of Pinnacle Homes in Detroit, Michigan on March 1, 2018.
(3) Represents costs which include, but are not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, cost of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, and miscellaneous expenses related to our acquisition of Pinnacle Homes. As these costs are not eligible for capitalization as initial direct costs, such amounts are expensed as incurred.
