Homes in backlog increased 12% at December 31, 2017 to 2,014 units, with a sales value of $791 million (a 15% increase over last year), and the average sales price in backlog increased 3% to a record-high of $393,000. At December 31, 2016, the sales value of the 1,804 homes in backlog was $685 million, with an average sales price of $380,000.

Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We had strong 2017 results highlighted by all-time Company records for revenue, new contracts, and homes delivered. These records led us to a 25% increase in our 2017 net income, excluding the non-operating items. For the first time in our history, we exceeded 5,000 units in both homes delivered and new contracts while reaching nearly $2 billion in revenue. Importantly, our revenue and earnings growth resulted from strong performances in many of our homebuilding divisions, combined with another record performance by our financial services business. We also reached our highest year-end backlog level in more than 10 years, with a sales value of $791 million - a 15% increase over 2016.”

Mr. Schottenstein continued, “We are excited about our business as we move into 2018. We ended the year with $152 million of cash, no outstanding borrowings under our $475 million unsecured credit facility, shareholders’ equity of $747 million and homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 46%. We are well positioned for continued growth in 2018 with our strong year-end backlog and a significant number of planned new community openings.”

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.
