Exhibit 99.1
NOBILITY HOMES, INC. ANNOUNCES SALES AND EARNINGS FOR ITS FISCAL YEAR 2020
Ocala, FL…January 5, 2021 - Today Nobility Homes, Inc. (OTCQX: NOBH) announced sales and earnings results for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. Sales for fiscal year 2020 were $41.6 million as compared to $46.3 million recorded in fiscal year 2019. Income from operations for fiscal year 2020, was $7.1 million versus $8.3 million in the same period a year ago. Net income after taxes was $5.9 million as compared to $8.8 million for the same period last year. In June 2019 the Company sold its former Pace retail sales center property located in Pace, Florida for total net proceeds of $1.1 million and in October 2019 the Company sold its interest in Walden Woods South for total net proceeds of $1.5 million. Diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2020 were $1.64 per share compared to $2.32 per share last year.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, sales were up 22% to $13.2 million as compared to $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of last fiscal year. Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2020 was up 8% to $2.3 million versus $2.1 million in the same period last year. Net income after taxes was $1.8 million versus last year’s results of $2.9 million. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter were $0.52 per share versus earnings of $0.79 per share last year.
Nobility’s financial position during fiscal year 2020 remained very strong with cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and certificates of deposit of $35.2 million and no outstanding debt. Working capital is $38.8 million and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 5.8:1. Stockholders’ equity is $50.9 million and the book value per share of common stock increased to $14.03.
Terry Trexler, President, stated, “The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic of 2020 has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and shutdowns. Although we were deemed an essential business and never closed our manufacturing plant or retail sales centers, these measures had a negative impact on customer traffic (and corresponding sales) within our centers and the operations of our business partners. While our manufacturing operations have continued, an outbreak in our manufacturing facility would adversely impact our ability to produce new homes. There is considerable uncertainty regarding the impact, and expected duration, of such measures and potential future measures, which could cause disruptions to our business in the future. Since May of 2020 the Company has experienced unprecedented inflation in forest products, with little immediate relief in sight. The rapid increases have resulted in increases to our material costs. Hurricane Laura damaged some of the plants that supply the resin used in residential vinyl siding and PVC piping, causing shortages and price increases. The Company is monitoring these issues and has adjusted our selling prices accordingly to help offset the higher costs.
Nobility’s fourth quarter sales showed significant improvement from the first three quarters of fiscal year 2020. The current strong backlog of orders should produce a good fiscal 2021 first quarter, if COVID-19 and supply price increases can be controlled.
The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida has been adversely impacted by COVID-19 and actions taken in response thereto. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2019 through October 2020 were down approximately 16% from the same period last year. In addition, the lack of lenders in our industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, still adversely affects our results by limiting many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes.
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, 2020 the Company celebrated its 53rd 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 30 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 TERRY@NOBILITYHOMES.COM OR TOM@NOBILITYHOMES.COM
