     FORT WORTH, TEXAS — D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:DHI), America’s Builder, today reported net income for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 of $50.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. The quarterly results included $30.3 million in pre-tax charges to cost of sales for inventory impairments and land option cost write-offs, the majority of which related to communities in Illinois. In the same quarter of fiscal 2009, the net loss was $143.8 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. Homebuilding revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 51% to $1.4 billion, from $914.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2009. Homes closed increased 60% to 6,805 homes, from 4,240 homes in the same quarter of fiscal 2009.

     For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported net income of $253.9 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. The nine-month results included $33.9 million in pre-tax charges to cost of sales for inventory impairments and land option cost write-offs and a tax benefit of $152.7 million. In the same period of fiscal 2009, the net loss was $314.9 million, or $0.99 per diluted share. Homebuilding revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 increased 31% to $3.4 billion, from $2.6 billion in the same period of fiscal 2009. Homes closed in the nine-month period increased 40% to 16,594 homes, from 11,893 homes closed in the same period of fiscal 2009.

     Net sales orders for the third quarter ended June 30, 2010 declined 3% to 4,921 homes ($1.0 billion), compared to 5,089 homes ($1.1 billion) in the same quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company’s cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders) for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 28%. Net sales orders for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 increased 28% to 15,396 homes ($3.2 billion), compared to 12,026 homes ($2.5 billion) in the same period of fiscal 2009. The Company’s sales order backlog of homes under contract at June 30, 2010 was 4,430 homes ($954.4 million), compared to 5,430 homes ($1.1 billion) at June 30, 2009.

     The Company’s homebuilding unrestricted cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2010 totaled $1.7 billion. During the third quarter, the Company reduced the number of homes in inventory by 3,100, contributing to cash provided by operating activities of $159.3 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $587.1 million, which was primarily due to the federal income tax refunds received during the period.

     During the third quarter, the Company repurchased $345.2 million principal amount of its outstanding senior notes, resulting in an $8.3 million loss on early retirement of debt. Fiscal year-to-date homebuilding debt repurchases and redemptions total $883.6 million. Subsequent to June 30th, the Company repurchased $53.3 million principal amount of its outstanding senior notes.

     The Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0375 per share. The dividend is payable on August 26, 2010 to stockholders of record on August 16, 2010.

     Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, “We are pleased to report a quarterly profit for the third consecutive quarter and positive cash flow from operations for our 16th consecutive quarter. Our homes closed increased 60% over the prior year and our homes gross margin improved 590 basis points. Our homebuilding SG&A dollars increased only 7% from the year ago quarter while supporting a 51% increase in homebuilding revenues. Our balance sheet remains strong with homebuilding cash and marketable securities of $1.7 billion and net homebuilding leverage improving to 17.5%. Including our debt repurchases subsequent to quarter-end and the scheduled maturities in September, our total principal repayments in fiscal 2010 will be more than $1 billion.

     “As we expected, market conditions in the homebuilding industry have become more challenging after the expiration of the tax credit at the end of April. Our net sales orders declined significantly in May and improved modestly in June and July. However, we will continue to focus on providing affordable homes for the first-time buyer, controlling our costs and contracting for new communities with attractively priced finished lots while maintaining our strong balance sheet.”

     The Company will host a conference call today (Tuesday, August 3rd) at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. The dial-in number is 877-407-0778, and the call will also be webcast from www.drhorton.com on the “Investor Relations” page.

     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 our continued focus on providing affordable homes for the first-time buyer, controlling our costs, contracting for communities with attractively priced finished lots and maintaining a strong balance sheet. Forward-looking statements also include our scheduled maturities in September bringing our total principal repayments in fiscal 2010 to more than $1 billion. 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 continuing downturn in the homebuilding industry, including further deterioration in industry or broader economic conditions; the continuing constriction of the credit markets, which could limit our ability to access capital and increase our costs of capital; the reduction in availability of mortgage financing, increases in mortgage interest rates and the effects of expiring government programs, such as the homebuyer federal tax credit; the limited success of our strategies in responding to adverse conditions in the industry; a return of an inflationary environment; changes in general economic, real estate and other business conditions; the risks associated with our inventory ownership position in changing market conditions; supply risks for land, materials and labor; changes in the costs of owning a home; the effects of governmental regulations and environmental matters on our homebuilding operations; the effects of governmental regulation on our financial services operations; the uncertainties inherent in home warranty and construction defect claims matters; our substantial debt and our ability to comply with related debt covenants, restrictions and limitations; competitive conditions within our industry; our ability to effect any future growth strategies successfully; our ability to realize our deferred tax asset; and the utilization of our tax losses could be substantially limited if we experienced an ownership change as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Additional information about issues that could lead to material changes in performance is contained in D.R. Horton’s current report on Form 8-K dated February 8, 2010, which updated our annual report on Form 10-K, and our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, all which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
