    Commenting on the quarter, Bill Boor, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of our company, with record quarterly revenue and strong gross margins.

We remain focused on innovation and increasing home production while navigating continuing labor and building supply challenges."

    Mr. Boor continued, "We have stated that our capital allocation priorities include investing in our facilities, strategic acquisitions and returning money to our shareholders. This quarter, we have executed on all three of these through the expansion of our Fort Worth facility, our planned acquisition of The Commodore Corporation and our stock repurchase activity. Our strong balance sheet has allowed us the flexibility to move quickly with these opportunities and we will continue to explore other prospects for growth and return on capital."

    Net factory-built housing revenue per home sold$84,401  $71,093  $13,308  18.7%
    • In the factory-built housing segment, the increase in Net revenue was primarily due to 18.7% higher home selling prices and 10.5% higher home sales volume. The higher home prices were driven by product price increases and a shift toward more multi-section homes. Home sales volume increased from higher factory capacity utilization. On a sequential basis, adjusting for the extra week of production in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, home sales volume also increased from slightly higher factory capacity utilization.
    • Financial services segment Net revenue increased primarily due to higher volume in home loan sales and more insurance policies in force in the current year compared to the prior year, partially offset by lower interest income earned on the acquired consumer loan portfolios that continue to amortize and lower unrealized gains on marketable equity securities in the insurance subsidiary's portfolio.

    • In the factory-built housing segment, Income from operations increased from the higher home sales prices and the higher home sales volume, partially offset by higher salary and incentive compensation expense on improved earnings. Net expense of $0.1 million related to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") inquiry was recorded for both periods presented. There was no additional Director and Officer ("D&O") insurance premium amortization in the current period versus $2.1 million in the prior year period.
    • In the financial services segment, Income from operations decreased from lower unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, higher weather-related claims during the period and lower interest income earned on the acquired consumer loan portfolios that continue to amortize.

    Housing Demand and Production Updates

    Home order rates remained strong during the first fiscal quarter of 2022, being nearly 50% higher than the comparable prior year quarter. This increased order volume is the result of more well-qualified home buyers making purchase decisions, supported by reduced home loan interest rates.

    We continue to experience hiring challenges, higher and largely unpredictable factory employee absenteeism and other inefficiencies from building material supply disruptions. Accordingly, our total average plant capacity utilization rate was approximately 75% during the first fiscal quarter of 2022. Orders outpaced the challenging production environment during the quarter, raising order backlogs to $792 million at July 3, 2021, up 31.3% compared to $603 million at April 3, 2021, and up 404.5% compared to $157 million at June 27, 2020.

    Planned Acquisition of The Commodore Corporation

    As discussed in our July 26, 2021 press release, we entered into an agreement to acquire the business and certain assets and liabilities of The Commodore Corporation ("Commodore"), including its six manufacturing and two retail locations. Commodore is the largest private independent builder of manufactured and modular housing in the United States, operating under a variety of well-known brand names. Commodore has over 1,200 employees and operates across the Northeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. In addition to manufacturing, Commodore also has a commercial lending portfolio with its dealers that we will acquire and continue. For the last 12 months ended March 31, 2021, Commodore generated net sales of approximately $258 million and sold over 6,600 modules, equating to over 3,700 homes.

    The purchase price totals $153 million, before certain adjustments that will be determined upon close of the transaction. The estimated cash outlay is $140 million after adjustments and including transaction fees. We expect to fund the acquisition entirely with cash on hand. The transaction is expected to close in our third quarter of fiscal year 2022, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and satisfaction of certain customary conditions.

    Release of Corporate Responsibility Report

    The release of our first Corporate Responsibility Report represents a great milestone. In the report, we present a framework for how we think about our impact across the spectrum of stakeholders in our business. The report is divided into several focus areas: our employees, our community, our environment and corporate governance. The content of this first Corporate Responsibility Report demonstrates that, in addition to having opportunities for improvement, we have a lot to be proud of as a team of people working to make a difference.
