D.R. HORTON, INC., AMERICA’S BUILDER, REPORTS FISCAL 2019 FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS AND DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND OF $0.15 PER SHARE

ARLINGTON, Texas (Business Wire) - January 25, 2019
Fiscal 2019 First Quarter Highlights - comparisons to the prior year quarter
Net income attributable to D.R. Horton increased 52% to $287.2 million or $0.76 per diluted share
Consolidated pre-tax income was $375.7 million compared to $391.2 million
Consolidated pre-tax profit margin was 10.7% compared to 11.7%
Homes closed increased 7% to 11,500 homes and 7% in value to $3.4 billion
Net sales orders increased 3% to 11,042 homes and were unchanged in value at $3.2 billion
Repurchased 4.1 million shares of common stock for $140.6 million
D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:DHI), America’s Builder, today reported that net income attributable to D.R. Horton for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018 increased 52% to $287.2 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $188.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. The prior year quarter results include the impact of a higher effective tax rate primarily due to the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Homebuilding revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 increased 6% to $3.4 billion from $3.2 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. Homes closed in the quarter increased 7% to 11,500 homes compared to 10,788 homes closed in the same quarter of fiscal 2018.
Net sales orders for the first quarter ended December 31, 2018 increased 3% to 11,042 homes compared to 10,753 homes in the same quarter of the prior year and were unchanged in value at $3.2 billion. The Company’s cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders) for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was 24% compared to 22% in the prior year quarter.

The Company had 33,700 homes in inventory at December 31, 2018, and its homebuilding land and lot portfolio at December 31, 2018 was 309,400 lots, of which 42% were owned and 58% were controlled through option contracts.

The Company ended the first quarter with $537.5 million of homebuilding unrestricted cash and a homebuilding debt to total capital ratio of 23.2%. Homebuilding debt to total capital consists of homebuilding notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus homebuilding notes payable.

Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, “The D.R. Horton team delivered solid results for the first fiscal quarter of 2019. Net income for the quarter increased 52% to $287.2 million on a 6% increase in consolidated revenues to $3.5 billion. Our pre-tax profit margin for the first quarter was 10.7%, and our home sales revenues increased 7%. These results reflect the strength of our experienced operational teams, industry-leading market share, broad geographic footprint and affordable product offerings across multiple brands.

“Sales prices for both new and existing homes have increased across most of our markets over the past several years, which coupled with rising interest rates has impacted affordability and resulted in some moderation of demand for homes, particularly at higher price points. However, we continue to see good demand and a limited supply of homes at affordable prices across our markets, and economic fundamentals and financing availability remain solid. We are pleased with our product offerings and positioning for the upcoming spring selling season, and we will adjust to future changes in market conditions as necessary.






"Our continued strategic focus is to consolidate market share while growing our revenues and profits, generating strong cash flows and returns and maintaining a flexible financial position. With 33,700 homes in inventory at the end of December and 309,400 lots owned and controlled, we are well-positioned for fiscal 2019 and future years.”

Acquisitions
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company acquired the homebuilding operations of Westport Homes, Classic Builders and Terramor Homes for $320.7 million. The assets acquired included approximately 700 homes in inventory, 4,500 lots and control of approximately 4,300 additional lots through option contracts. The Company also acquired a sales order backlog of approximately 700 homes. Westport Homes operates in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Columbus, Ohio; Classic Builders operates in Des Moines, Iowa; and Terramor Homes operates in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Dividends
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company paid cash dividends of $56.0 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share that is payable on February 25, 2019 to stockholders of record on February 11, 2019.

Share Repurchases
The Company repurchased 4.1 million shares of common stock for $140.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company’s remaining stock repurchase authorization at December 31, 2018 was $234.9 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
Portions of this document may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although D.R. Horton believes any such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that actual outcomes will not be materially different. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to D.R. Horton on the date this release was issued. D.R. Horton does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements in this release include that we are pleased with our product offerings and positioning for the upcoming spring selling season, and we will adjust to future changes in market conditions as necessary. The forward-looking statements also include that our continued strategic focus is to consolidate market share while growing our revenues and profits, generating strong cash flows and returns and maintaining a flexible financial position and that with 33,700 homes in inventory at the end of December and 309,400 lots owned and controlled, we are well-positioned for fiscal 2019 and future years.






Factors that may cause the actual results to be materially different from the future results expressed by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and changes in economic, real estate and other conditions; constriction of the credit and public capital markets, which could limit our ability to access capital and increase our costs of capital; reductions in the availability of mortgage financing provided by government agencies, changes in government financing programs, a decrease in our ability to sell mortgage loans on attractive terms or an increase in mortgage interest rates; the risks associated with our land and lot inventory; our ability to effect our growth strategies, acquisitions or investments successfully; the impact of an inflationary, deflationary or higher interest rate environment; home warranty and construction defect claims; the effects of health and safety incidents; the effects of negative publicity; supply shortages and other risks of acquiring land, building materials and skilled labor; reductions in the availability of performance bonds; increases in the costs of owning a home; the effects of governmental regulations and environmental matters on our homebuilding and land development operations; the effects of governmental regulations on our financial services operations; our significant debt and our ability to comply with related debt covenants, restrictions and limitations; competitive conditions within the homebuilding and financial services industries; the effects of the loss of key personnel; and information technology failures and data security breaches. Additional information about issues that could lead to material changes in performance is contained in D.R. Horton’s annual report on Form 10-K which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
