Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, “With 36,648 homes closed in fiscal 2015, D.R. Horton is the largest builder in the United States for a 14th consecutive year. Fiscal 2015 was also our third consecutive year of 30% or greater growth in both home sales revenues and homebuilding pre-tax income. While significantly growing the business, we generated $700 million of cash from operations this year. In the fourth quarter, our consolidated pre-tax income increased 35% to $338.8 million, and our pre-tax operating margin improved 60 basis points to 10.7%. For the year, we generated a 38% increase in pre-tax income to more than $1.1 billion on consolidated revenues of $10.8 billion.
"We are well-positioned with our industry-leading market share, broad geographic footprint and diversified product offerings across our D.R. Horton, Emerald Homes and Express Homes brands. We are focused on growing our revenues and pre-tax profits at a double-digit annual pace, while continuing to generate positive cash flows and improved returns. Based on our solid balance sheet, liquidity and current and expected levels of profitability and cash flow, our Board of Directors increased our quarterly cash dividend by 28% to $0.08 per share. With a sales backlog of 10,662 homes and a robust lot supply and inventory of homes available for sale, we are ready to capitalize on market opportunities to deliver another strong performance in fiscal 2016.”

Portions of this document may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although D.R. Horton believes any such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that actual outcomes will not be materially different. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to D.R. Horton on the date this release was issued. D.R. Horton does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements in this release include that we are well-positioned with our industry-leading market share, broad geographic footprint and diversified product offerings across our D.R. Horton, Emerald Homes and Express Homes brands and that we are focused on growing our revenues and pre-tax profits at a double-digit annual pace, while continuing to generate positive cash flows and improved returns. The forward-looking statements also include that based on our solid balance sheet, liquidity and current and expected levels of profitability and cash flow, our Board of Directors increased our quarterly cash dividend by 28% to $0.08 per share and that with a sales backlog of 10,662 homes and a robust lot supply and inventory of homes available for sale, we are ready to capitalize on market opportunities to deliver another strong performance in fiscal 2016.
Factors that may cause the actual results to be materially different from the future results expressed by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and changes in economic, real estate and other conditions; constriction of the credit markets, which could limit our ability to access capital and increase our costs of capital; reductions in the availability of mortgage financing and the liquidity provided by government-sponsored enterprises, the effects of government programs, a decrease in our ability to sell mortgage loans on attractive terms or an increase in mortgage interest rates; the risks associated with our land and lot inventory; home warranty and construction defect claims; supply shortages and other risks of acquiring land, building materials and skilled labor; reductions in the availability of performance bonds; increases in the costs of owning a home; the impact of an inflationary, deflationary or higher interest rate environment; the effects of governmental regulations and environmental matters on our homebuilding operations; the effects of governmental regulations on our financial services operations; our substantial debt and our ability to comply with related debt covenants, restrictions and limitations; competitive conditions within the homebuilding and financial services industries; our ability to effect our growth strategies or acquisitions successfully; the effects of the loss of key personnel; the effects of negative publicity; and information technology failures and data security breaches. Additional information about issues that could lead to material changes in performance is contained in D.R. Horton’s annual report on Form 10-K and our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, both of which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
