Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We are very pleased with our third quarter results highlighted by record revenue of $442 million - 22% above 2015's third quarter, a 10% increase in new contracts, and a 15% increase in homes delivered. We also reached our highest third quarter backlog level in 10 years, with a sales value of $821 million - a 25% increase over 2015's third quarter. Excluding the $14.5 million stucco-related charge, net income improved by 28%, and our pre-tax operating margin increased to 7.4%. The stucco-related charge we incurred in the third quarter, along with the charges we incurred in the first half of 2016, cover repair costs that we have incurred to date along with our estimate of repair costs that we may incur in the future. "

Mr. Schottenstein continued, "Looking ahead, 2016, our 40(th) year in business, is shaping up to be a very good year for M/I Homes. We have a strong backlog going into the last quarter of the year and housing market conditions remain favorable throughout most of our markets. Our financial condition is strong with shareholders' equity of $632 million and homebuilding debt to capital of 46%. We will continue to focus on increasing profitability, growing our market share, and investing in attractive land opportunities."
