Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "At a time of rapidly changing market conditions, we had a very strong quarter highlighted by record quarterly net income of $137 million, 27% better than a year ago, and a 34% increase in earnings per diluted share. These record earnings resulted in our return on equity improving to 27%. Our revenues increased 8% to a second quarter record $1 billion, with gross margins improving by 220 basis points to 27.3%, and SG&A improving by 70 basis points to 9.7%, all leading to a pretax income margin of 17.5%. Our backlog sales value at June 30 increased 9% to a second quarter record $2.7 billion."

Mr. Schottenstein continued, "During the quarter, we began experiencing a moderation in demand due to the unprecedented rapid rise in interest rates and continued inflationary pressures across the economy. Clearly, there is growing uncertainty on a number of fronts and choppy market conditions may persist for some time. Still, our financial condition is very strong. We ended the quarter with record shareholders' equity of $1.8 billion, an increase of 24% over last year, book value of $66 per share, cash of $189 million, zero borrowings on our $550 million credit facility, and a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 28%. Additionally, housing fundamentals remain solid with an undersupply of available homes and favorable demographics. Looking ahead, we believe we are well positioned to manage through these changing and uncertain times given the strength of our balance sheet, low debt levels, record backlog sales value, diverse product offerings and well-located communities."
