RED BANK, NJ, May 31, 2005 – Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV), a leading national homebuilder, reported net income of $106.1 million, or $1.62 per fully diluted share, on $1.2 billion in total revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2005. Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 was $70.5 million, or $1.06 per fully diluted share, on total revenues of $918.8 million.
Consolidated deliveries in the second quarter of 2005 were 3,748 homes with an aggregate sales value of $1.2 billion, compared with consolidated deliveries of 3,353 homes in the same period last year with an aggregate sales value of $900.9 million. Homebuilding gross margins, after interest expense included in cost of sales, increased 150 basis points to 25.2%, compared with 23.7% on a comparable basis in last year’s second quarter. Stockholders’ equity grew 41% to $1.4 billion at April 30, 2005 from $970.2 million at the end of the fiscal 2004 second quarter.
Six Month Performance
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, revenues reached $2.3 billion, up 34% compared to $1.7 billion for the year earlier period. Net income for the first half of fiscal 2005 increased 46% to $187.6 million, or $2.87 per fully diluted share, compared to $128.2 million, or $1.93 per fully diluted share, in the same period a year ago. Compared to the first six months of 2004, the dollar value of net contracts during the same period in fiscal 2005 increased by 21% and the number of home deliveries rose by 18%, including the impact of unconsolidated joint ventures.
Comments from Management
“Our record results during the fiscal 2005 second quarter were fueled by our leading market positions, our increased geographic diversity, continued pricing power in many of our markets, and further market penetration through our broad product offerings, which target a wide variety of homebuyers,” said Ara K. Hovnanian, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “The vast majority of our earnings growth in the second quarter was organic, with more than 93% of the increase in earnings coming from our existing operations that have been in place for more than 12 months. The integration of our acquisitions of Cambridge Homes and Town & Country Homes, which occurred during our second quarter, is proceeding well,” Mr. Hovnanian continued.
“Looking ahead, the long-term fundamentals for the housing industry remain strong. In our highly regulated markets we continue to benefit from supply constraints, which are primarily driven by regulatory processes that are lengthening and becoming more difficult,” said J. Larry Sorsby, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “At the end of the quarter, our backlog of almost 11,000 homes was a record level for any quarter in our history. This provides us with excellent visibility for deliveries, revenues and earnings for the second half of fiscal 2005 and into the early months of fiscal 2006. As a result, we are raising our EPS projection for fiscal 2005 to greater than $7.00 per fully diluted share and we are confident that we will continue to show a strong increase in EPS growth in fiscal 2006. We are projecting our third quarter EPS in 2005 to increase to $1.70 per fully diluted share, an increase of 28% over last year’s $1.33 per share.”
“During the second quarter, we continued to maintain our long-term debt-to-capital ratio below our target of 50%. Our credit and coverage ratios remain strong, while our cash flow and access to capital provide us more than enough liquidity to attain our growth targets,” Mr. Sorsby concluded.
In Closing
“The continued strength of our product offerings contributed to a very successful first half of fiscal 2005 across many metrics, from improvements in gross margin to EPS growth,” Mr. Hovnanian said. “We anticipate our number of communities open for sale to increase during the second half of the year to a level that is 20% higher than at the end of fiscal 2004, which we expect will lead to favorable net contract sales comparisons in the back half of 2005 and further growth in deliveries during 2006. Throughout the balance of 2005 we will strive to maintain our strong returns and we will continue working on initiatives to improve the long-term efficiencies of our manufacturing processes. We will continue to adhere to our high target hurdle rates for returns on new investments and we will deploy capital to those markets that are achieving the best returns. We continue to evaluate potential company acquisition candidates and we will pursue future acquisitions when there is a good cultural fit, strong track record and management team, and where the profits and returns meet our thresholds. Through the hard work and dedication of our associates we have all of the elements in place to execute on our strategic plan for continued growth and profitability,” Mr. Hovnanian concluded.
Among the awards the Company received in recognition of its outstanding performance, Hovnanian recently
• debuted on the Fortune 500, ranked 457th based on revenue and ranked 2nd based on five-year total return to investors of 73%;
• was awarded several “Best Active Adult Community” awards by the NAHB Seniors Housing Council, while Ara Hovnanian was honored with an “Icon of the Industry Award” for “Active Adult Builder/Developer” for 2005; and
• ranked 5th on the Barron’s 500 list, an annual ranking of the biggest U.S. companies based on “significant stock-market gains and consistently strong cash flow.”
