Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We are very pleased to report net income of $3.2 million for the second quarter as well as net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our results represent a major step forward for M/I Homes as we remain intensely focused on profitability. As has been well documented for the past 5+ years we have faced significant headwinds dealing with what has generally been referred to as the toughest housing conditions in modern history. Since the beginning of this year, conditions have been improving in most of our markets as more and more consumers are taking advantage of the combination of record low interest rates, housing affordability, and the higher quality and efficiency of new home construction. These improving conditions are underscored by our results --- most notably, our new contracts increased 30% year over year, while our backlog and sales value in backlog improved over 40% when compared to last year's second quarter. In addition, our adjusted





operating gross margin of 19.8% represents a 170 basis point sequential improvement over 2012's first quarter margin. And, our selling, general and administrative expense ratio improved to 15.6% of revenues from 17.1% a year ago.”

Mr. Schottenstein continued, “Our financial condition remains strong. In the second quarter, we recorded our 12th consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA and our highest level for any quarter since 2007. We ended the quarter with $57 million of cash and zero outstanding borrowings under our $140 million credit facility. Looking ahead, though we are encouraged by the improving conditions, we also recognize that job growth has been choppy and that unemployment levels remain high. Accordingly, we will be prudent in our management as we continue to focus on our core business strategies, watching our expenses closely and balancing this with sound investments in new communities that should aid our future results.”

The Company will broadcast live its earnings conference call today at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Adjusted operating gross margin, adjusted operating gross margin percentage, adjusted pre-tax income (loss) from operations and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Management finds these measures to be useful in evaluating the Company's performance because they disclose the financial results generated from homes the Company actually delivered during the period, as the asset impairments and certain other write-offs relate, in part, to inventory that was not delivered during the period. They also assist the Company's management in making strategic decisions regarding the Company's future operations. The Company believes investors will also find these measures to be important and useful because they disclose financial  measures that can be compared to a prior period without regard to the variability of asset impairments and certain other write-offs and unusual charges. In addition, to the extent that the Company's competitors provide similar information, disclosure of these measures helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare the Company's financial results to the results of its competitors with regard to the homes they deliver in the same period. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in methods of calculation and charges being excluded.  Due to the significance of the GAAP components excluded, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance measures prescribed by GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA is also presented in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit facility.
