Homes delivered for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 declined 3% to 8,112 from 2022's deliveries of 8,366. New contracts for 2023's fourth quarter increased 61% to 1,588 from 985 new contracts in 2022's fourth quarter. For 2023, new contracts were 7,977, a 20% increase from 2022's 6,668 new contracts.

The Company's cancellation rate was 13% in 2023's fourth quarter compared to 30% for the prior year's fourth quarter.

Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "2023 was a very strong year for our Company highlighted by earning $607 million of pretax income, representing 15% of revenue with gross margins of 25.3%. Revenue reached $4 billion, new contracts increased 20% to 7,977 homes and our return on equity was a very solid 20.2%. We are particularly pleased with these results given the significant headwinds the housing industry faced entering 2023, including higher interest rates, inflationary pressures, and uncertainty in the general economy."

Mr. Schottenstein continued, "We are in excellent financial condition. We ended the year with record shareholders' equity of $2.5 billion, cash of $733 million, zero borrowings under our $650 million credit facility, and a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 22%. And, our year-end book value was a record $91 per share. We believe our industry will continue to benefit from strong fundamentals, including favorable demographic trends and an undersupply of housing. Looking ahead, we are well positioned to continue delivering strong results given the strength of our balance sheet, our diverse product offerings, and our well-located communities."
