D.R. HORTON, INC., AMERICA’S BUILDER, REPORTS FISCAL 2013 FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

FORT WORTH, TEXAS – D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:DHI), America’s Builder, today reported that net income for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased 139% to $66.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. Net income for the same quarter of fiscal 2012 was $27.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. Homebuilding revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 39% to $1.2 billion from $0.9 billion in the same quarter of 2012. Homes closed in the quarter increased 26% to 5,182, compared to 4,118 homes in the year-ago quarter.

Net sales orders for the first quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased 39% to 5,259 homes from 3,794 homes in the year-ago quarter and the value of net sales orders increased 60% to $1.3 billion from $0.8 billion. The Company’s cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders) for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was 22%. The Company’s sales order backlog of homes under contract at December 31, 2012 increased 62% to 7,317 homes from 4,530 homes at December 31, 2011. The value of the backlog increased 80% to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2012 from $1.0 billion a year ago.

The Company ended the quarter with $643.1 million of homebuilding unrestricted cash and marketable securities and net homebuilding debt to total capital of 33.0%. Net homebuilding debt to total capital consists of homebuilding notes payable net of cash and marketable securities divided by total equity plus homebuilding notes payable net of cash and marketable securities.

Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, “This quarter was our most profitable first quarter since 2007, with $107.9 million of pre-tax income, a 270% increase from the year-ago quarter. We experienced substantial increases in the number of homes sold, closed and in backlog compared to the year-ago quarter. At the same time, our average sales price has increased due to pricing power, geographic mix and larger average home size. As a result, we achieved dollar value increases in homes sold of 60%, homes closed of 38% and backlog of 80%.

“We experienced broad improvement in demand in most of our markets this quarter, and we significantly increased our investments in homes under construction, finished lots, land and land development to capture this increasing demand. D.R. Horton is the best positioned it has been in its 35 year history. We are looking forward to the spring selling season with optimism.”

The Company will host a conference call today (Tuesday, January 29^th) at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. The dial-in number is 877-407-8033, and the call will also be webcast fromwww.drhorton.com on the “Investors” page.

All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to D.R. Horton on the date this release was issued. D.R.

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 and the current weak U.S. economy; the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and changes in general 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 for acquiring land, building materials and skilled labor; reductions in the availability of performance bonds; increases 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; our debt obligations 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 any future growth strategies successfully; the impact of an inflationary or deflationary environment; our ability to realize the full amount of our deferred income tax asset; 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 which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
