The Company incurred $0.6 million of pre-tax acquisition-related expense year-to-date in 2019 compared to $5.6 million in the same period of 2018.

Homes delivered in 2019's second quarter reached a second quarter record of 1,538, increasing 9% from the 1,409 deliveries in 2018's second quarter. Homes delivered for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 8% to a record 2,724 from 2018's deliveries of 2,531. New contracts for 2019's second quarter were a record 1,731, an increase of 6% over 2018's second quarter. For the first six months of 2019, new contracts were a record 3,375 compared to 3,370 in 2018. Homes in backlog decreased 4% at June 30, 2019 to 2,845 units with an average sales price of $395,000, and a total sales value of $1.12 billion.

Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We reported another strong quarter highlighted by second quarter records for revenue, pre-tax income, net income, homes delivered and new contracts. Our new contracts increased 6% when compared to 2018's second quarter with buyer demand remaining steady as a result of continued low mortgage rates and favorable consumer confidence. Revenue increased 12% for the quarter and our pre-tax income increased 23% to $41.2 million. We also continue to make noticeable progress in managing our overhead expense ratio which was 11.8% for the quarter, an 80-basis point improvement when compared to 2018's second quarter.

Mr. Schottenstein continued, "We ended the quarter with record-high shareholders' equity of $904 million, an increase of 11% from 2018's second quarter and book value of $33 per share along with a healthy ratio of homebuilding debt to capital of 45%. We are well positioned to have a solid 2019 and will continue to focus on growing our market share and investing in attractive land opportunities."
