Hovnanian Enterprises Reports Fiscal 2019 Second Quarter Results

Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV), a leading national homebuilder, reported results for its fiscal second quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2019.

“For the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we achieved an 11% year-over-year growth in consolidated community count and a 10% year-over-year increase in consolidated contracts,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Furthermore, for the month of May 2019, we had a 20% year-over-year increase in consolidated contracts."

“During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, driven entirely by increasing our lot option position, we also grew our consolidated land position by 17% year over year. Increasing our land position and community count should ultimately lead to rising revenues and substantially improved levels of profitability. We believe that controlling the majority of our consolidated lots through options – 60% at the end of the second quarter – gives us considerable flexibility, mitigates risk and is consistent with our strategy of achieving high inventory turns. We ended the quarter with our liquidity position above our stated goal and remain cautious and disciplined in our approach to underwriting new land purchases. We continue to invest in a housing market that appears to remain on solid economic and demographic footings. 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 the second half of the year to substantially outperform the first half, resulting in profitability for the full year,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.
