M/I Homes Reports
Record Third Quarter Results


Columbus, Ohio (October 26, 2005) - M/I Homes, Inc. (NYSE:MHO) announced record financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005.

Net income of $25.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.72 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, both third quarter records for the Company, are 11% and 10% higher, respectively, than net income of $22.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.57 reported in the same period of 2004. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $59.5 million, or $4.09 per diluted share compared to 2004’s record net income and diluted earnings per share of $67.0 million and $4.65, respectively. Net income and diluted earnings per share for both 2004 periods include a $3.0 million net of tax charge ($0.21 per diluted share) related to the repayment of subordinated debt.

As previously reported, homes delivered in 2005’s third quarter were 1,047, down 8% compared to 1,135 in the third quarter of 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, homes delivered were 2,675, down 14% from 2004’s record 3,103. New contracts set a third quarter record of 1,163, a 20% increase from 971 in the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine months, new contracts were 3,413, compared to 2004’s 3,411. Backlog of homes at September 30, 2005 was 3,522 units, with a record sales value of $1.139 billion. The backlog of homes at September 30, 2004 was 2,966 units, with a sales value of $866 million. The average sales price of homes in backlog at September 30, 2005 rose to $323,000, an 11% increase over 2004’s average sales price of $292,000. M/I Homes had 140 active subdivisions at September 30, 2005 compared to 130 at September 30, 2004.

Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We are pleased to announce record financial results for the third quarter of 2005 - reaching records in new contracts, revenue, income, diluted earnings per share and backlog. Our average closing price was 15% higher than a year ago and our margins during the quarter continued to be strong with gross margins of 25.5% and operating margins at 12.7%. Our homes delivered for the quarter were lower than expected due primarily to delays in our Florida markets. We are particularly pleased with our strategy to reposition our geographic footprint. While delays in opening new communities and softness in our Midwest markets have hampered our annual target of approximately 15% growth in new contracts, we continued to see strong results in our Florida, North Carolina and D.C. markets during the third quarter, with new contracts up 37% and 67%, respectively. We currently have 140 communities open, versus 127 at June 30, 2005 and plan on having approximately 150 communities by year end.”

Mr. Schottenstein concluded, “Our financial position continues to be very strong, with shareholders’ equity of $552 million and book value per share of nearly $39. We continue to diversify our land position, purchasing $254 million of land this year with over 80% of that being in our targeted growth markets. We have improved our capital structure with the issuance earlier this year of $200 million of senior notes. With our record backlog and anticipated deliveries of approximately 4,275 units, we are optimistic about achieving record financial results for the year. We are re-affirming our previous earnings guidance of $6.75 to $6.95 per diluted share compared with 2004’s earnings of $6.35 per diluted share. In addition, we believe 2006 will be our eleventh consecutive record year, with deliveries exceeding 5,000 homes and diluted earnings per share exceeding $7.65.”
