Commenting on the quarter, President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Boor said, “Our pre-tax profit improved significantly on increased home shipments and a strong recovery in Financial services. The outstanding EPS performance was further boosted by positive tax items and our continuing use of buybacks to manage the balance sheet.”
He continued, “While the third quarter is typically strong for our insurance operation, pricing and underwriting improvements implemented earlier in the year came to fruition and led to one of the strongest Financial services quarters in several years. In Factory-built housing, we executed our plan to utilize backlogs to ramp up production in anticipation of continued market improvement. Across the board, we are very well set-up going into the new calendar year.”
