Hovnanian Enterprises Reports Fiscal 2017 Second Quarter Results

Net Contracts per Active Selling Community Increased 18.5%

RED BANK, N.J., June 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:HOV), a leading national homebuilder, reported results for its fiscal second quarter and six months ended April 30, 2017.

“We made progress during our second fiscal quarter toward our goal of returning to consistent profitability. We experienced a strong spring selling season reflected in an 18.5% increase in net contracts per active selling community during the quarter,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we discussed last quarter, the cumulative effect of our decision to exit four underperforming markets, temporarily reduce our overall land spend and pay off $320 million of maturing debt has led to decreases in our community count, net contracts, deliveries and revenues over the short term. Given these limitations, our second quarter results overall were in line with our expectations.”

“Our focus remains on execution, further operational improvements and reloading our land position. We finished the quarter with liquidity in excess of our target range, and our land acquisition teams continue to find new land parcels throughout the country so that we can grow our land position, which, assuming no changes in market conditions should ultimately result in higher levels of deliveries and profitability going forward. We are confident we are taking the appropriate steps to best position our company for success in the future,” commented Mr. Hovnanian.
