Exhibit 99.1

 

NOBILITY HOMES, INC. ANNOUNCES SALES AND EARNINGS FOR ITS FIRST QUARTER 2022

Ocala, FL…March 11, 2022 - Today Nobility Homes, Inc. (OTCQX: NOBH) announced sales and earnings for its first quarter ended February 5, 2021. Sales for first quarter of 2022 increased 19% to $10.8 million compared to $9.1 million recorded in first quarter of 2021. Income from operations for first quarter of 2022 was $1.3 million versus $1.2 million in the same period a year ago. Net income after taxes was $1.2 million as compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share for first quarter of 2021 were $0.33 per share compared to $0.29 per share last year.

Nobility’s financial position during first quarter 2022 remains very strong with cash and cash equivalents and short term investments of $39.6 million and no outstanding debt. Working capital is $37.3 million and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 3.3:1. Stockholders’ equity is $50.5 million and the book value per share of common stock increased to $14.29 from $13.96.

The Board of Directors declared a one-time cash dividend of $1.00 per common share for fiscal year 2021. The cash dividend is payable on April 4, 2022 to stockholders of record as of March 21, 2022. Nobility Homes has distributed one-time cash dividends of $1.00 in fiscal years ending 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company has no defined dividend policy. The Board of Directors maintains the authority to declare distributions at their discretion. The Board performs a thorough and extensive evaluation of the Company’s balance sheet, cash flow, operating performance, and future earnings prospects when considering the declaration of any common dividend.

Terry Trexler, President, stated, “During first quarter of 2022, 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. Production has incurred shortages in many building products, which has limited production and delayed the completion of the homes both at the manufacturing plant and the set up process in the field for the retail customer. In addition, we have continued to experience record inflation in most building products, resulting in increases to our material and labor costs and a corresponding decrease in gross profits. We expect that these challenges will continue for much of 2022 and potentially beyond 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 January 2022 were up approximately 24% 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, 2021 the Company celebrated its 54th 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 31 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]
