Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, "It has been another exciting quarter for the Company. In addition to record home sales orders, backlog, revenues, and profits, we saw significant improvement in our balance sheet structure as our homebuilding debt to total capitalization (net of cash) improved by 1,000 basis points. The Company's continued sales momentum combined with our record $4.0 billion backlog, ensure that fiscal 2003 will be our 26th consecutive year of growth and profitability, and position us for another record year in fiscal year 2004."
