Sales for the first quarter of 2020 were $9,443,852 as compared to $11,039,774 recorded in the first quarter of 2019. Income from operations for the first quarter of 2020 was $1,633,705 versus $1,771,831 in the same period a year ago. Net income after taxes was $1,400,141 as compared to $1,535,806 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2020 were $0.38 per share compared to $0.40 per share last year.

Nobility's financial position during the first quarter 2020 remains very strong with cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and short term investments of $29,967,956 and no outstanding debt.

The Board of Directors declared a one-time cash dividend of $1.00 per common share for fiscal year 2019. The cash dividend is payable on March 27, 2020 to stockholders of record as of March 13, 2020. Nobility Homes has distributed one-time cash dividends of $1.00 and $.20 in fiscal years ending 2018 and 2017, 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, "The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida continues to be good. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2019 through January 2020 were down approximately 12% from the same period last year. Constrained consumer credit and the lack of lenders in our industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, still affects our results by limiting many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes. However, legislation may help improve this situation in the future.

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, 2019 the Company celebrated its 52nd anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes. With multiple retail sales centers 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 221 OR [email protected] OR [email protected]
