COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- M/I Homes, Inc. (NYSE: MHO) announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and an amendment to its homebuilding credit facility.
2014 Third Quarter Highlights:
-- Pre-tax income of $22.2 million, an increase of 62% over 2013's third quarter -- Net income of $13.6 million, diluted earnings per share of $0.44 -- Homes delivered increased 5%; New contracts increased 3% -- Revenue increased 20% -- Backlog sales value increased 6% -- Net debt to net capital ratio of 45%
For the third quarter of 2014, the Company reported net income of $13.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $125.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, or $4.22 per diluted share, which included a $111.6 million reversal of a deferred tax valuation allowance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had net income of $30.5 million which excludes a $9.3 million benefit from the reversal of our state deferred tax asset valuation allowance, compared to net income of $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 which excludes the $111.6 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance reversal.
Homes delivered in 2014's third quarter were 985 compared to 937 deliveries in 2013's third quarter - a 5% increase. Homes delivered for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 11% to 2,616 compared to 2013's deliveries of 2,352. New contracts for 2014's third quarter were 892, up 3% from 2013's third quarter. For the first nine months of 2014, new contracts decreased 3% from 2,994 in 2013 to 2,890 in 2014. M/I Homes had 147 active communities at September 30, 2014 and 147 communities at September 30, 2013. The Company's cancellation rate was 16% in the third quarter of 2014 compared to 17% in 2013's third quarter. The backlog of homes at September 30, 2014 had a sales value of $518 million (a 6% increase over last year's third quarter), with an average sales price of $333,000 and backlog units of 1,554. At September 30, 2013 backlog sales value was $488 million, with an average sales price of $304,000 and backlog units of 1,607.
On October 20, 2014, the Company closed on an amendment to its unsecured homebuilding credit facility which among other things, extended the facility maturity date to October 20, 2018, reduced the Company's borrowing rate, and increased availability to $300 million.
Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We had another solid quarter highlighted by $22.2 million of pre-tax income - a 62% increase over the third quarter of 2013. A number of factors contributed to our improved profitability including a 5% increase in homes delivered, a 13% increase in our average closing price and a 70 basis point improvement in our gross margin. We continue to focus on improving our returns and our third quarter operating margin increased to 7.5% from 6.8% in last year's third quarter. Our backlog sales value also increased 6% from a year ago to $518 million, with an average sales price of $333,000 compared to $304,000 a year ago."
Mr. Schottenstein continued, "We continue to believe that the fundamentals are in place to support further improvement in housing market conditions; however, demand during 2014 has been uneven in many of our markets. This is reflected in our new contracts, increasing 3% in 2014's third quarter following a 6% decline in 2014's first half. In addition, delays in certain of our planned new community openings have also impacted our sales. Our financial condition remains strong, with shareholders' equity of $533 million, and a ratio of net debt to net capital of 45%. We will stay focused on improving our profitability and remain poised to have a very solid 2014."
