2017 Third Quarter Results

Columbus, Ohio (October 25, 2017) - M/I Homes, Inc. (NYSE:MHO) announced results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

2017 Third Quarter Highlights:
Net income increased to $22.3 million ($0.64 per diluted share) from $10.9 million ($0.35 per diluted share) in 2016
Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.71, excluding the $0.07 per share impact of a $2.3 million equity adjustment due to the redemption of preferred shares. In 2016’s third quarter, diluted earnings per share was $0.65, excluding the impact of stucco-related charges
New contracts increased 13% to 1,225, a record level for the third quarter
Homes delivered increased 9% to a third quarter record 1,256
Revenue increased 8% to a third quarter record $476 million
Backlog sales value increased 11% to $912 million; backlog units increased 7% to 2,378
Estimated impact of hurricanes - 20 delayed closings and $700,000 of expense

For the third quarter of 2017, the Company reported net income of $22.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $10.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016. The current quarter diluted earnings per share was reduced by a $2.3 million after-tax fair value equity adjustment ($0.07 per diluted share) related to the previously announced redemption of our outstanding preferred shares which was completed on October 16, 2017. The third quarter of 2016 included a $14.5 million pre-tax charge ($0.30 per diluted share) for stucco-related repair costs in certain of our Florida communities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported net income of $56.2 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, compared to net income of $36.0 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, for the same period of 2016. Year-to-date in 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $8.5 million ($0.18 per diluted share) and $19.4 million ($0.40 per diluted share) of pre-tax charges, respectively, related to stucco-related repairs. Exclusive of these stucco-related charges in both periods, year-to-date net income was $61.6 million compared to $48.1 million in 2016’s same period, a 28% increase.

Homes delivered in 2017's third quarter were 1,256 compared to 1,148 deliveries in 2016's third quarter - a 9% increase. Homes delivered for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 14% to 3,505 from 2016's deliveries of 3,066. New contracts for 2017's third quarter were 1,225, an increase of 13% over 2016's third quarter. For the first nine months of 2017, new contracts increased 9% to 4,079 from 3,756 in 2016. M/I Homes had 179 active communities at September 30, 2017 compared to 174 at September 30, 2016, a 3% increase. The Company's cancellation rate was 15% in the third quarter of 2017 and 2016. Homes in backlog increased 7% at September 30, 2017 to 2,378 units, with a sales value of $912 million (an 11% increase over last year’s third quarter), and an average sales price of $383,000. At September 30, 2016, the sales value of homes in backlog was $821 million, with an average sales price of $370,000 and backlog units of 2,221.






Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We are very pleased with our third quarter results highlighted by record revenue, record new contracts and record homes delivered. We reached our highest third quarter backlog level in more than 10 years, with a sales value of $912 million - an 11% increase over 2016’s third quarter. Gross margins improved 30 basis points to 21.4% and net income improved 12% over 2016’s third quarter, excluding the impact of 2016’s stucco-related charges. We achieved this strong performance despite the impact of hurricanes in our Florida and Houston markets which delayed approximately 20 third quarter deliveries, slowed down sales and resulted in approximately $700,000 of community and model home repair costs.”

Mr. Schottenstein continued, “Our financial condition remains strong. During the quarter, we issued $250 million of 8-year senior notes, converted $58 million of our convertible notes into equity and completed the redemption of $50 million of our preferred shares in October. These steps both strengthened and simplified our balance sheet. We ended the quarter with $104 million of cash, no outstanding borrowings under our $475 million unsecured credit facility, shareholders’ equity of $723 million and a healthy homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 47%. As we begin the final quarter of 2017, we are well positioned for another solid year. We have a strong backlog and housing market conditions remain favorable throughout most of our markets. We will continue to focus on increasing profitability while growing our market share and investing in well-located attractive land opportunities.”

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.
