Columbus, Ohio (April 24, 2014) - M/I Homes, Inc. (NYSE:MHO) announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

2014 First Quarter Highlights:
Pre-tax income of $12.5 million - a 156% increase over 2013’s first quarter
Net income of $12.6 million, including a $5.3 million benefit from the reversal
of a portion of our state deferred tax asset valuation allowance
Diluted earnings per share of $0.41 ($0.23 per share excluding the impact
of the state deferred tax valuation allowance reversal)
Homes delivered increased 18%; New contracts declined 6%
Backlog sales value and units increased 24% and 10%, respectively
Cash balance of $101 million
Net debt to net capital ratio of 39%
 
For the first quarter, the Company reported net income of $12.6 million, or $0.41 per diluted share. Excluding the reversal of $5.3 million of our state deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the Company’s net income totaled $7.3 million or $0.23 per diluted share. This compares to $4.6 million, or $0.11 per share during the first quarter of 2013.

Homes delivered in the first quarter were 737, an increase of 18% from the 627 reported for the same period of 2013. New contracts for the first quarter were 982, a 6% decrease from the 1,047 recorded in 2013's first quarter. The backlog of homes at March 31, 2014 had a total sales value of $496 million, a 24% increase over a year-ago, with backlog units of 1,525 and an average sales price of $326,000. At March 31, 2013 backlog sales value was $401 million, with backlog units of 1,385 and an average sales price of $290,000. M/I Homes had 158 active communities at March 31, 2014 compared to 135 at March 31, 2013 and 157 at December 31, 2013. The Company's cancellation rate was 16% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 15% in 2013's first quarter.

Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We had a very solid first quarter highlighted by an 18% increase in homes delivered, 23% growth in revenue, 156% improvement in pre-tax income and our gross margin improving to 21.7%, a 180 basis point increase over the fourth quarter of 2013. At the same time, our results were a bit mixed, with new contracts declining by 6%, in part due to unusually harsh winter weather conditions, but also due to a softer than expected start to the spring selling season.”

Mr. Schottenstein continued, “Our financial condition is strong, with cash of $101 million at the end of the quarter, shareholders' equity of $507 million, net debt to net capital at 39%, and no outstanding borrowings under our $200 million credit facility. Looking ahead, with the strength of our backlog and planned new community openings, we are poised to have a very solid 2014. We remain focused on increasing our profitability, continuing to grow our market share and investing in attractive land opportunities.”
