News Release
M.D.C. HOLDINGS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
DENVER, COLORADO, Thursday, October 26, 2023. M.D.C Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MDC), one of the nation’s leading homebuilders, announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
“MDC delivered another quarter of strong profitability, generating net income of $107.3 million, or $1.40 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2023,” said MDC’s Executive Chairman, Larry Mizel. “Home sale revenues were $1.09 billion on new home deliveries of 1,968 at an average sales price of $552,000. Gross margin from home sales improved 280 basis points from the second quarter of 2023 to 19.2%, while SG&A as a percent of home sale revenues improved on both a sequential and year-over-year basis to 9.3%. These results further demonstrate our ability to deliver solid profitability in a high interest rate environment.”
“Net new orders improved considerably from the prior year period, thanks to a significant reduction in cancellations and our use of financing incentives that lessened the impact of higher mortgage rates for our buyers," said David Mandarich MDC's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our sales pace for the quarter was 2.4 homes per community per month and was fairly consistent across our homebuilding footprint. We continue to see motivated buyers in our markets, provided we can meet their affordability needs.”
“Despite the challenges that higher interest rates present, I remain confident in our company’s outlook," said Mr. Mizel. "The US economy has shown great resilience in terms of GDP growth and job creation, while home prices nationally have held firm. The new home market continues to benefit from a lack of existing home supply, and large public builders like MDC are poised to gain market share. We plan on taking advantage of this opportunity in the coming quarters and therefore have increased our land acquisition efforts.”
Mr. Mizel concluded, "Our average build time for homes that closed in the quarter improved significantly as compared to the second quarter. This improvement, coupled with our increased focus on spec home production, has led to better inventory turns and cash generation. Our cash and marketable securities balance at the end of the quarter stood at $1.78 billion, giving us ample liquidity to reinvest in our operations and pay our industry-leading dividend of $2.20 on an annualized basis. The progress we made this quarter has us well positioned to end 2023 on a strong note and carry the momentum into the new year.”
