The Company reported pre-tax income of $146.1 million and net income of $111.2 million ($3.98 per diluted share). This compares to pre-tax income of $180.2 million and net income of $138.1 million, or $4.78 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024.

Homes delivered in 2025's first quarter decreased 8% to 1,976 homes. This compares to 2,158 homes delivered in 2024's first quarter. New contracts were 2,292 for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2,547 in last year's first quarter. Homes in backlog at March 31, 2025 had a total sales value of $1.56 billion, a 13% decrease from a year ago. Backlog units at March 31, 2025 decreased 16% to 2,847 homes, with an average sales price of $548,000. At March 31, 2024, backlog sales value was $1.79 billion, with backlog units of 3,391 and an average sales price of $528,000. M/I Homes had 226 communities at March 31, 2025 compared to 219 communities at March 31, 2024. The Company's cancellation rate was 10% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 8% in the first quarter of 2024.

Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "Our first quarter results were solid despite the many challenges facing the housing industry, including declining consumer confidence. While our new contracts were down 10% compared to a year ago, we were effective in balancing pace and price as our gross margin was a strong 25.9%. And we were very pleased with our 15% pre-tax profit margin and 19% return on equity.

Mr. Schottenstein added, "Though current conditions are choppy, and are likely to continue for the foreseeable future, we remain optimistic about our business and the longer-term outlook for the housing industry. Our balance sheet is the strongest in Company history. We ended the quarter with record net worth of $3 billion, a 14% increase from a year ago, book value of $112 per share, zero borrowings under our $650 million unsecured borrowing line, cash of $776 million, homebuilding debt-to-capital of 19% and a net debt-to-capital ratio of negative 3%. At the end of the quarter, we had 226 active communities, a record for our company, and are positioned to grow community count this year by an average of 5%. Despite all the market uncertainties, we are well positioned to have a solid year in 2025."
