FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2007--D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:DHI), America's Builder, the largest homebuilder in the United States, Tuesday (January 23, 2007), reported net income for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 of $109.7 million ($0.35 per diluted share), which included pre-tax charges to cost of sales of $40.9 million ($0.08 per diluted share) of inventory impairments and $36.8 million ($0.07 per diluted share) of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts that the Company does not intend to pursue. Earnings for the same quarter of fiscal 2006 were $310.1 million ($0.98 per diluted share). Homebuilding revenue totaled $2.8 billion in the first quarter of both fiscal 2006 and 2007. Homes closed totaled 10,202 homes, compared to 9,891 homes in the year ago quarter.

The Company's sales order backlog of homes under contract at December 31, 2006 was 16,694 homes ($4.7 billion), compared to 20,816 homes ($6.2 billion) at December 31, 2005.

Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, "Our people worked hard to achieve these results during a time when conditions in the homebuilding industry remain challenging. We continued to focus on improving our strong balance sheet and reducing our inventory while managing our business profitably. We reduced our lot position to 297,000 lots owned and controlled, down 25% from our March 2006 peak of 396,000. We also reduced our number of homes under construction to approximately 26,000 homes, down 35% from our June 2006 peak of 40,000. Our disciplined balance sheet management and our continued profitability have resulted in $1.2 billion of positive cash flows from operations during the last six months."
