With more than 40% growth in contracts and contracts per community during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we have seen the continuation of the positive momentum that began in the spring selling season last year,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Furthermore, we are pleased that our revenue gains have begun to catch up to the increases in contracts that we have seen over the past six months and are also pleased with the substantial growth we reported in EBITDA. The magnitude of the improvement in our revenues gives us confidence that we are making solid progress towards achieving our revenue growth goals, which ultimately should lead to higher levels of profitability.”
