Comments from ManAGEMENT:

 

“In spite of the challenging effects the COVID-19 pandemic had on the last half of our second quarter, our total revenues increased 22%, our homebuilding gross margin improved 120 basis points, adjusted EBITDA increased by 116% and our adjusted pretax income was $5 million compared to a $13 million loss in the previous year’s second quarter,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are striving for even better performance in the future. Fortunately, our contract pace has recently been improving.”

 

“Notwithstanding the recent improvements in our contract pace, given the high unemployment rate and uncertainty surrounding the recovery of the overall economy, in the near term, we maintain a cautious outlook. In response to COVID-19, we are streamlining our organizational structure and reducing our workforce. We expect these steps to result in approximately $20 million in annual overhead savings beginning in fiscal 2021. As the market rebounds from the pandemic, we believe this new organizational alignment should allow us to be even more cost efficient in pursuing our growth plans and should result in a more rapid repair of our balance sheet,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.

 

“Given the uncertain economic environment, early in the pandemic, we took measures to preserve our cash position by delaying certain land purchases, land development activity and beginning construction activity on some unsold homes. In light of the improved contract pace in May, we are beginning to cautiously move forward with our land and land development activities in most markets. In spite of the adverse impacts of COVID-19, we remain confident that we can pursue our long-term growth plans and still maintain our liquidity within our targeted range of $170 million to $245 million,” concluded Larry Sorsby, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
