The spring selling season is going well, as our net sales orders increased 52% sequentially from the December quarter and 6% from the March quarter last year. These results reflect the strength of our experienced operational teams, industry-leading market share, broad geographic footprint and affordable product offerings across multiple brands.

“Our continued strategic focus is to consolidate market share while growing our revenues and profits, generating strong annual cash flows and returns and maintaining a flexible financial position. With 32,100 homes in inventory at the end of March and 316,400 lots owned and controlled, we are well-positioned for the remainder of fiscal 2019 and future years.”
