Our sales increased by double-digit percentages in all three of our brands, reflecting strong performance in our core D.R.

Our increasingly diverse product offerings are enabling us to expand our industry-leading market share.

With 12,177 homes in backlog at March 31, 2015 and a robust community count, finished lot supply and inventory of homes available for sale, we are well-positioned for the second half of the fiscal year. We remain intently focused on growing our revenues and profits at a double-digit pace, while generating improved returns and cash flows."
