BEDFORD, Texas, Aug. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Legacy Housing Corporation (NASDAQ: LEGH) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Financial Highlights:

• Revenue for the second quarter of 2020 was $46.0 million, which was a slight improvement from the net revenue of $45.8 million in the second quarter of 2019.

• Interest income in the second quarter of 2020 was $6.1 million, a nearly 20% increase from the $5.1 million recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

• Income from operations in the second quarter of 2020 was $11.2 million, which was substantially unchanged from the $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2019.

• Selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of 2020 was $4.1 million, a 33.9% decrease from the $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2019. This was due to a reduction in payroll costs, advertising and dealer show expenses, and warranty service costs as well as certain second quarter 2019 retail store expenses that were subsequently reclassified and recorded into cost of sales in the latter part of 2019.

• Total inventory reduced by $6.1 million or 13.6% to $38.9 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2019.

• The manufactured home park loan portfolio increased by $16.8 million or 16.3% to $120.1 million for second quarter 2020 compared to $103.3 million for first quarter 2020. The consumer loan portfolio increased to $107.2 million, inclusive of the allowance for loan loss and other discounts, compared to $105.6 million for the first quarter 2020.

• Net income in the second quarter of 2020 was consistent with the second quarter of 2019 with both quarters delivering earnings of $8.6 million. Year to date net income has increased by $1.8 million or 11.2% to $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $15.8 million for the same period last year.

• Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2020, based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding, was $0.36 on 24,201,823 diluted outstanding shares versus $0.35 on 24,369,890 diluted outstanding shares for the comparable quarter in 2019. Similarly, earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $0.73 compared to $0.65 for the same period last year.

Curtis D. Hodgson, Executive Chairman of the Board, commented, “We are pleased with the results of the second quarter of 2020, which included a continuation of the strong growth in financed sales to manufactured home parks. Additionally, the company took proactive steps during the first and second quarter of 2020 to navigate the COVID-19 environment by reducing costs and gaining operational flexibility in our manufacturing operations. Over the last six months we have increased the tangible book value of the company by approximately 8% for our shareholders despite the headwinds of the current economy. We believe that manufactured housing presents a compelling, long-term solution for the ongoing lack of affordable housing in the United States, and the Company is well-positioned to take advantage of this market.

This shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Company’s securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
