A number of factors contributed to the significant improvement in our earnings, including a 4% increase in homes delivered and a 10% increase in the average sale price of homes delivered. In addition, we achieved a 40 basis point increase in our gross margins and a 70 basis point reduction in our overhead expense ratio. As a result, we were able to improve our operating margin by 110 basis points to 7.9%. We ended the year with a backlog sales value of $569 million, a 34% increase over a year ago and the highest level since 2005.”

Mr. Schottenstein continued, “2016 promises to be a milestone year for M/I Homes as we celebrate our 40th year in business. We are excited about our business as we continue to make progress on many fronts.
