Nobility Homes, Inc. Announces Sales and Earnings for Its First Quarter 2025
OCALA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 14, 2025 / Today Nobility Homes, Inc. (OTCQX:NOBH) announced sales and earnings for its first quarter ended February 1, 2025. Sales for the first quarter of 2025 were $12.2 million compared to $14.8 million recorded in the first quarter of 2024. Income from operations for the first quarter of 2025 was $2.3 million versus $2.7 million in the same period a year ago. Net income after taxes was $2.0 million as compared to $2.3 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025 were $0.61 per share ($0.60 diluted) compared to $0.72 per share ($0.71 diluted) last year.
Nobility's financial position during the first quarter of 2025 remains strong with cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and short-term investments of $29.6 million and no outstanding debt. Working capital is $44.8 million and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 6.1:1. Stockholders' equity is $58.6 million and the book value per share of common stock increased to $17.93.
The Board of Directors on March 14, 2025 declared a one-time cash dividend of $1.25 per common share for the fiscal year 2024. The cash dividend is payable on April 14, 2025, to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2025. Nobility Homes has distributed one-time cash dividends for the last seven fiscal years.
Terry Trexler, President, stated, "Net sales decreased in first quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year because of the decrease in the number of retail homes sold and manufactured. We believe the higher interest rates on mortgages are negatively impacting sales as compared to the prior year. There also remain delays in the receipt of certain key production materials from suppliers, back orders, price increases and labor shortages which continue to cause delays in the completion of the homes at our manufacturing facility and the set-up process of retail homes in the field. Our inability to timely deliver and set up homes to customers has negatively impacted sales and earnings. We expect these challenges will continue into fiscal year 2025. The Company also continues to experience inflation in several building products resulting in increases in our material and labor costs which may increase the wholesale and retail selling prices of our homes. We believe that potential customers have delayed or deferred purchasing decisions when considering the interest rate environment.
The current demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida and the U.S. has slowed due to the interest rate environment and increased costs associated with mortgages. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2024 through January 2025 declined by approximately 15% from the same period last year.
Maintaining our strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. 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, 2024, we celebrated our 57th 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 34 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
