Financial Highlights:

• Net revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $39.9 million. This was a 4.4% or $1.7 million increase from the first quarter of 2020.
• Interest revenue from our consumer and mobile home park portfolios for the first quarter of 2021 was $6.6 million. This was a 3.3% or $0.2 million increase from the first quarter of 2020.

• Income from operations during the first quarter of 2021 was $10.7 million compared to the $10.6 million recorded in the first quarter of 2020.
• Net income in the first quarter of 2021 was $9.0 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2020, adjusting for the impact of a one-time settlement realized during the first quarter of 2020, net income increased by $0.8 million. The improvement in net income was the result of a strategy to earn energy efficiency tax credits.
• Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2021 were $.37. Adjusting for the impact of a one-time settlement realized during the first quarter of 2020, this was an increase 10.1% or $.03 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Curtis D. Hodgson, Executive Chairman of the Board, commented, “We are very pleased with our first quarter results. We maintained our gross margins in the face of unprecedented commodity and labor inflation and we excelled in controlling SG&A costs. Further, we achieved this while our Texas-based operations were severely impacted by the February weather event which closed our Texas-based operations for a week and disrupted deliveries company wide. Our backlog remains strong and our strategic moves into land development will serve as a tail-wind for years to come.”
