Homes closed in the six-month period increased 31% to 16,216, compared to 12,382 homes in the same period of fiscal 2014.

Net sales orders for the second quarter ended March 31, 2015 increased 30% to 11,135 homes and 33% in value to $3.2 billion, compared to 8,569 homes and $2.4 billion in the prior year quarter. The Company’s cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders) for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was 20%. Net sales orders for the first six months of fiscal 2015 increased 32% to 18,505 homes from 14,023 homes in the first six months of fiscal 2014 and the value of net sales orders increased 35% to $5.3 billion from $3.9 billion.

The Company ended the quarter with $665.8 million of homebuilding unrestricted cash and net homebuilding debt to total capital of 34.7%. Net homebuilding debt to total capital consists of homebuilding notes payable net of cash divided by total equity plus homebuilding notes payable net of cash.

The Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per common share. The dividend is payable on May 27, 2015 to stockholders of record on May 15, 2015.

Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, “The spring selling season at D.R. Horton is off to a strong start. In the second quarter, the value of our net sales orders, home sales revenue and sales order backlog increased year-over-year by 33%, 38% and 27%, respectively. Our sales increased by double-digit percentages in all three of our brands, reflecting strong performance in our core D.R. Horton communities and the expansion of our luxury brand, Emerald Homes, and our entry-level brand, Express Homes. Our increasingly diverse product offerings are enabling us to expand our industry-leading market share.




“We also delivered another solid quarter of profitability, highlighted by $230.1 million of pre-tax income, on $2.4 billion of revenues. With 12,177 homes in backlog at March 31, 2015 and a robust community count, finished lot supply and inventory of homes available for sale, we are well-positioned for the second half of the fiscal year. We remain intently focused on growing our revenues and profits at a double-digit pace, while generating improved returns and cash flows."

The Company will host a conference call today (Wednesday, April 22nd) at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. The dial-in number is 877-407-8033, and the call will also be webcast from the Company's website at investor.drhorton.com.

The Company is engaged in the construction and sale of high-quality homes through its diverse brand portfolio that includes D.R.

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 our increasingly diverse product offerings are enabling us to expand our industry-leading market share and that with 12,177 homes in backlog at March 31, 2015 and a robust community count, finished lot supply and inventory of homes available for sale, we are well-positioned for the second half of the fiscal year. The forward-looking statements also include that we remain intently focused on growing our revenues and profits at a double-digit pace, while generating improved returns and cash flows.

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: potential deterioration in homebuilding industry conditions or general economic conditions; the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and changes in economic, real estate and other conditions; constriction of the credit markets, which could limit our ability to access capital and increase our costs of capital; reductions in the availability of mortgage financing and the liquidity provided by government-sponsored enterprises, the effects of government 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; home warranty and construction defect claims; 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 impact of an inflationary, deflationary or higher interest rate environment; the effects of governmental regulations and environmental matters on our homebuilding operations; the effects of governmental regulation on our financial services operations; our substantial debt and our ability to comply with related debt covenants, restrictions and limitations; competitive conditions within the homebuilding and financial services industries; our ability to effect our growth strategies or acquisitions successfully; our ability to realize the full amount of our deferred income tax assets; the effects of the loss of key personnel; the effects of negative publicity; 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 and our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, both of which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
