Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, “The D.R. Horton team delivered another strong quarter of profitability, highlighted by $333.8 million of pre-tax income, on $3.0 billion of revenues. Our pre-tax profit margin improved 330 basis points from the prior year quarter to 11.3%. In the third quarter the value of our net sales orders increased by 25%, our home sales revenue increased by 37%, and the value of our sales order backlog increased by 15%.

“This quarter we made significant progress toward our goal of producing sustainable positive cash flow from operations by generating $357.4 million of cash. For the nine months ended June, we generated $188.6 million of cash flow from operations, an improvement of $762.3 million from the same period in the prior year.

“Solid performance in our three core brands is enabling us to capitalize on market opportunities and continue to expand our industry-leading market share. We are well-positioned to finish our fiscal year strong and have an even stronger fiscal 2016 with 12,761 homes in backlog, a robust community count, finished lot supply and inventory of homes available for sale and our diversified D.R. Horton, Emerald Homes and Express Homes product offerings. We remain intently focused on growing our revenues and profits at a double-digit pace, while generating improved returns and continued positive cash flows.”

The Company will host a conference call today (Tuesday, July 28th) 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.

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 regulations 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.
