Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We had strong first quarter results highlighted by record revenue, record income and a 10% increase in homes delivered. We are particularly pleased with our results given the material change in housing conditions compared to a year ago; notably, significantly higher interest rates, inflationary pressures and persistent uncertainty regarding the general economy. We increased our revenue by 16% to a record $1.0 billion, increased pre-tax income by 11% to $136 million and delivered 2,007 homes. In addition, our results reflect a 50-basis point improvement in our overhead expense ratio."

Mr. Schottenstein continued, "Our financial condition is as strong as it's ever been. We ended the quarter with record shareholders' equity of $2.2 billion, an increase of 28% over last year, book value of $79 per share, cash of $543 million, zero borrowings on our $650 million credit facility, and a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 24%. Despite the changes in housing conditions over the past year, there remains a strong desire for home ownership, and we believe our industry will continue to benefit from strong fundamentals, including favorable demographic trends and an undersupply of housing. Looking ahead, we are well positioned with our diverse markets and product offerings, a strong balance sheet and low leverage."
