For the second quarter of 2015, the Company reported net income of $13.4 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $9.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014 excluding the reversal of $4.0 million of the Company’s state deferred tax asset valuation allowance. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $22.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the same period of 2014, excluding the reversal of $9.3 million of the Company’s state deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Homes delivered in 2015's second quarter were 919 compared to 894 deliveries in 2014's second quarter - a 3% increase. Homes delivered for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were 1,636 compared to 2014's deliveries of 1,631. New contracts for 2015's second quarter were 1,100, an increase of 8% from 2014's second quarter. For the first six months of 2015, new contracts increased 11% from 1,998 in 2014 to 2,208 in 2015. M/I Homes had 155 active communities at June 30, 2015 compared to 145 at June 30, 2014 and 150 at December 31, 2014. The Company's cancellation rate was 14% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 15% in 2014's second quarter. Homes in backlog increased 9% at June 30, 2015 to 1,794 units, with a sales value of $657 million (a 20% increase over last year’s second quarter), and an average sales price increase of 10% to a record high of $366,000. At June 30, 2014, the sales value of homes in backlog was $546 million, with an average sales price of $332,000 and backlog units of 1,647.

Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We had another strong quarter highlighted by a 43% increase in pre-tax income, an 8% increase in new contracts, and a 20% increase in our backlog sales value. Several factors contributed to our improved profitability, including an 11% increase in our average closing price, a 60 basis point improvement in our gross margin, and better operating leverage reflected in a 90 basis point decline in our overhead expense ratio. Our backlog sales value of $657 million includes a backlog average sales price of $366,000 - a record high for our Company.”

Mr. Schottenstein continued, “We were pleased to open 28 new communities in the first half of 2015 and are on track to increase our community count by 15% in 2015. Looking ahead, with the strength of our backlog and planned new





community openings, we are poised to have a very solid 2015. We remain focused on improving profitability, growing our market share, and investing in attractive land opportunities.”
