The Company incurred $0.6 million of pre-tax acquisition-related expense year-to-date in 2019 compared to $6.2 million in the same period of 2018.

Homes delivered in 2019's third quarter reached a third quarter record of 1,651 deliveries, increasing 16% from 1,422 deliveries in 2018's third quarter.  Homes delivered for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased 11% to a record 4,375 deliveries from 3,953 deliveries in the first nine months of 2018.  New contracts for 2019's third quarter reached a third quarter record 1,721 contracts, increasing 32% from 1,302 new contracts in 2018's third quarter.  For the first nine months of 2019, new contracts increased 9% to a record 5,096 contracts from 4,672 contracts in 2018.  Homes in backlog increased 2% at September 30, 2019 to 2,915 units, with a sales value of $1.1 billion, and an average sale price of $390,000.  At September 30, 2018, the sales value of homes in backlog was $1.1 billion, with an average sale price of $401,000 and backlog units of 2,846.  M/I Homes had 221 active communities at September 30, 2019 compared to 212 at September 30, 2018.  The Company's cancellation rate was 13% in the third quarter of 2019 and 16% in the third quarter of 2018.

Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "Our third quarter results were very strong highlighted by record new contracts, homes delivered, revenue and pre-tax income.  New contracts for the quarter increased 32%, homes delivered increased 16%, revenue improved by 15%, and net income increased by 29%.  Gross margin improved to 20.5%, a 130-basis point improvement from the second quarter of 2019.  In addition, we continue to improve our operating leverage as our overhead expense ratio for the quarter was 12.2%, 50 basis points better than last year's third quarter.  The combination of our revenue growth and improved margins resulted in a 27% increase in pre-tax income to a third quarter record of $50.1 million."

Mr. Schottenstein continued, "Our financial condition remains strong.  We ended the third quarter with record-high shareholders' equity of $955 million, an increase of 14% from 2018's third quarter, book value per share of $34, and a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 44%.  As we begin the final quarter of 2019, we are on track for another solid year of growth and improved financial performance."
