NOBILITY HOMES, INC. ANNOUNCES SALES AND EARNINGS FOR ITS FISCAL YEAR 2022

Ocala, FL…December 22, 2022—Today Nobility Homes, Inc. (OTCQX: NOBH) announced sales and earnings results for its fiscal year ended November 5, 2022. Sales for fiscal year 2022 increased 14% to $51.5 million as compared to $45.1 million recorded in fiscal year 2021. Income from operations for fiscal year 2022 increased 37% to $8.4 million versus $6.1 million in the same period a year ago. Net income after taxes increased 34% to $7.2 million as compared to $5.4 million for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2022 were $2.10 per share compared to $1.50 per share last year.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, sales increased 71% to $16.2 million as compared to $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of last fiscal year. Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 93% to $3.2 million versus $1.7 million in the same period last year. Net income after taxes increased 76% to $2.7 million versus last year’s results of $1.6 million. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter were $0.81 per share versus earnings of $0.44 per share last year.

Nobility’s financial position during fiscal year 2022 remained very strong with cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and short-term investments of $21.1 million and no outstanding debt. Working capital is $33.7 million and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 3.3:1. Stockholders’ equity is $47.9 million and the book value per share of common stock increased to $14.22.

Terry Trexler, President, stated, “The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida and the U.S. is starting to reflect the increased interest rate environment by the Federal Reserve. Although net sales increased during the twelve months ended November 5, 2022 as compared to the same period last year, we continued to experience the negative impact of limitations being placed on certain key production materials from suppliers, the delay or lack of key components from vendors as well as back orders, delayed shipments, price increases and labor shortages. These supply chain issues have caused delays in the completion of the homes at the manufacturing facility and the set-up process of retail homes in the field, resulting in decreased net sales due to our inability to timely deliver and setup homes to customers. We expect that these challenges will continue for the first six months of fiscal year 2023 or until the industry supply chain normalizes. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2021 through October 2022 were up approximately 23% from the same period last year.

Maintaining our strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. Because of very challenging business conditions during economic recessions in our market area, management will continue to evaluate all expenses and react in a manner consistent with maintaining our strong financial position, while exploring opportunities to expand our distribution and manufacturing operations.

Our many years of experience in the Florida market, combined with home buyers’ increased need for more affordable housing, should serve the Company well in the coming years. Management remains convinced that our specific geographic market is one of the best long-term growth areas in the country.”

On June 5, 2022, the Company celebrated its 55th anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured and modular homes. With multiple retail sales centers in Florida for over 32 years and an insurance agency subsidiary, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

MANAGEMENT WILL NOT HOLD A CONFERENCE CALL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL TERRY OR TOM TREXLER @ 800-476-6624 EXT 121 OR [email protected] OR [email protected]
