COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:

“During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we continued to make progress towards our growth objectives. We achieved year-over-year growth in total revenues, contracts, community count, contracts per community and contract backlog. Further, we saw a sequential increase in our gross margin, before cost of sales interest expense and land charges, to 18.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from 16.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2019,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The improvements we experienced in these metrics are a solid indicator that we are moving in the right direction.”

“Given our pipeline of future community openings, we expect our community count to increase in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. We continue to believe that our strategy of using options to control a significant majority of our lots is a strong risk mitigator should housing demand fluctuate in the future. Assuming no adverse changes in current market conditions and excluding land related charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and other non-recurring items, we expect to achieve pretax profitability for the full 2019 fiscal year,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.
