NOBILITY HOMES, INC. ANNOUNCES SALES AND EARNINGS FOR ITS THIRD QUARTER 2017

Ocala, FL… September 14, 2017—Today Nobility Homes, Inc. (OTCQX: NOBH) announced sales and earnings results for its third quarter ended August 5, 2017. Sales for third quarter 2017 were $8,906,385 as compared to $9,779,621 recorded in third quarter 2016. Sales declined due to a significant amount of rain during the quarter which delayed the completion of construction, ultimately delaying fundings at Prestige. Additionally, the increase in business, industry wide, has placed pressure on the limited capacity of sub-contractors necessary for the site-work portion of the construction of our homes. Our retail sold homes under construction in the field increased 123% over the third quarter last year. Income from operations was $934,864 versus $1,240,492 last year. Net income after taxes was $669,883 as compared to $894,271 last year. In the third quarter of 2017 we received payment under an escrow arrangement related to the finance revenue sharing agreement between 21st Mortgage Corporation and the Company of $72,867. Diluted earnings per share were $0.17 compared to $0.22 per share last year.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2017, sales were up 9% to $27,525,855 as compared to $25,269,511 for the first nine months of 2016. Income from operations was up 3% to $3,267,938 versus $3,170,102 last year. Net income after taxes was $2,480,715 compared to $5,244,553 last year. In the second quarter of 2016 the Company sold its limited partnership interest in CRF III, Ltd. (“Cypress Creek”), a retirement community which resulted in a gain of $3,990,000 and also received revenue of $788,566 under an escrow arrangement related to the Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement between 21st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige Home Centers, Inc. and Majestic Homes, Inc. Diluted earnings per share were $0.62 per share compared to $1.30 per share last year.

Nobility’s financial position for the first nine months of 2017 remains very strong with cash and cash equivalents and short term investments of $26,237,802 and no outstanding debt. Working capital is $35,238,837 and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 8.9:1. Stockholders’ equity is $46,588,232 and the book value per share of common stock outstanding increased to $11.65.

Terry Trexler, President, stated, “The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida and the U.S. continues to improve. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2016 through July 2017 were up approximately 7% from the same period last year. Our sales and earnings continue to be affected by the lack of available retail and wholesale financing. Constrained consumer credit and the lack of lenders in the industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, have limited many manufactured housing buyers from purchasing affordable manufactured homes.

Our manufacturing facility was not damaged by Hurricane Irma. In fact, none of our model homes displayed at our Prestige Model Centers suffered any damage; not even the ones in Punta Gorda, near where the storm made landfall on the Florida peninsula. This is another testament to the strength of today’s manufactured homes.

Our many years of experience in the Florida market, combined with home buyers’ increased need for more affordable housing, should serve the Company well in the coming years. Management remains convinced that our specific geographic market is one of the best long-term growth areas in the country”.

On June 5, 2017 the Company celebrated its 50th anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes. With multiple retail sales centers, an insurance agency subsidiary, and an investment in a retirement manufactured home community, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

MANAGEMENT WILL NOT HOLD A CONFERENCE CALL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL TERRY OR TOM TREXLER @ 800-476-6624 EXT 221 OR TERRY@NOBILITYHOMES.COM OR TOM@NOBILITYHOMES.COM
