Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "The first half of 2020 has been a time of significant economic and social instability in our country and globally, precipitated by an unprecedented health crisis. Notwithstanding these difficult and challenging conditions, we are pleased to report a strong, record-setting quarter. We began the quarter with a focus on adapting our operations and business to safeguard our employees, customers, and work environment, while also continuing to sell and build quality homes. In late March and early April, our new contracts declined substantially; conditions, however began to improve in the last half of April and then rebounded significantly in May and June. As a result, we ended the quarter with an all-time quarterly record 2,261 new contracts, a 31% increase over last year. Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, we were able to maintain our construction schedule in most of our markets and delivered a second quarter record 1,835 homes, a 19% increase over 2019. Combined with a higher gross margin of 21.9% in the quarter, 270 basis points better than 2019's second quarter, and a 30 basis point decline in our overhead expense ratio, our increase in deliveries led to an all-time quarterly record in pre-tax income of $71.7 million, a 74% increase over 2019's second quarter. We also achieved an all time-quarterly record backlog in both units and sales value, with each up 30% or more compared to June 2019."

Mr. Schottenstein continued, "Clearly, economic conditions remain uncertain due to the on-going impact of COVID-19; accordingly, we will continue to monitor conditions closely. We ended the quarter with shareholders' equity of $1.1 billion, a cash balance of $94 million and no borrowings on our $500 million credit facility. We could not be more pleased with the solid execution and outstanding effort of our teams, who have managed to continue to meet the needs and expectations of our customers in achieving their goals of living in a safe and comfortable home. Our strong results position us to have an outstanding year."
