Perhaps Nobility Homes did not get ‘the memo.’ Ocala, Florida based Nobility (OTCQX: NOBH) is not per a prior report by the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) a member of that organization, which may prove to be relevant. While some larger members of MHI are reporting an odd ‘downturn’ due to retail ‘inventory’ changes, higher interest rates, and other factors, Nobility Homes’ latest quarterly report indicates that firm comparatively continues its steady climb higher. While #1 Texas, which has numbers of MHI member brands, Florida more prominently features independent producers that are member of the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR). Based on information that follows from NOBH, there is an overall stability in production and sales are reported at elevated levels despite rising interest rates and other headwinds that Nobility disclosed.

NOBILITY HOMES, INC. ANNOUNCES SALES AND EARNINGS FOR ITS FIRST QUARTER 2023
Ocala, FL…March 10, 2023 – Today Nobility Homes, Inc. (OTCQX: NOBH) announced sales and earnings for its first quarter ended February 4, 2023. Sales for the first quarter of 2023 increased 59% to $17.2 million compared to $10.8 million recorded in the first quarter of 2022. Income from operations for the first quarter of 2023 was up 192% to $3.8 million versus $1.3 million in the same period a year ago. Net income after taxes was up 164% to $3.1 million as compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2023 were $0.91 per share compared to $0.33 per share last year.
Nobility’s financial position during first quarter 2023 remains very strong with cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and short-term investments of $24.3 million and no outstanding debt. Working capital is $36.5 million and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 3.4:1. Stockholders’ equity is $51 million and the book value per share of common stock increased to $15.13.
The Board of Directors declared a one-time cash dividend of $1.00 per common share for the fiscal year 2022. The cash dividend is payable on April 3, 2023, to stockholders of record as of March 20, 2023. Nobility Homes has distributed one-time cash dividends of $1.00 for the last four fiscal years ending 2018 through 2021.
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 current demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida and the U.S. is slowing as a result of the increased interest rate environment driven by the Federal Reserve. Although net sales increased during the three months ended February 4, 2023, as compared to the same period last year, we continued to experience some limitations being placed on certain key production materials from suppliers, the delay or lack of key components from vendors as well as back orders, delayed shipments, price increases and labor shortages. These supply chain issues have caused delays in the completion of the homes at the manufacturing facility and the set-up process of retail homes in the field, resulting in decreased net sales due to our inability to timely deliver and setup homes to customers. We expect that these challenges will continue for most of the fiscal year 2023 or until the industry supply chain normalizes. The Company has continued to experience inflation in some building products resulting in increases to our material and labor costs which may increase the wholesale and retail selling prices of our homes. In addition, potential customers may delay or defer purchasing decisions in light of the rising interest rate environment. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2022 through January 2023 were approximately a breakeven from the same period last year.
Maintaining our strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. 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, 2022, the Company celebrated its 55th anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured and modular homes. With multiple retail sales centers in Florida for over 32 years 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 121 OR TERRY@NOBILITYHOMES.COM OR TOM@NOBILITYHOMES.COM

Part II Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief
First, Nobility’s management should take a level of pride in their results when compared to some others in MHVille.
That noted, and based on Nobility’s remarks above, their report ought to be a cause of concern for an array of manufactured housing independents and investors in MHVille across the country. UMH Properties, for instance, stated that they had trouble accessing new inventory in 2022. Why did other MHI members not report a similar experience?
Comparing official data prepared for HUD by IBTS for the top 3 states in the U.S. during the timeframes as shown below reveals that Florida seemed to outperform Texas and North Carolina not necessary in total units (Texas is #1, Florida is #2, North Carolina is #3), but rather in production and shipment trends. The degree to which Nobility influenced those trends would be precisely related to their market share in the Sunshine State. Quoting Trexler for Nobility (above): “Although net sales increased during the three months ended February 4, 2023, as compared to the same period last year, we continued to experience some limitations being placed on certain key production materials from suppliers, the delay or lack of key components from vendors as well as back orders, delayed shipments, price increases and labor shortages.”

If all manufacturers experienced a similar impact, what then explains Nobility’s seemingly superior handling of these hurdles when compared to larger companies that are MHI members? Note that Nobility’s stock performed better yesterday than most other MHVille connected equities. See the third-graphic in Part III below.
The facts and remarks above, when compared to reports out of Texas and by prominent MHI member producers begs several questions.
For example:
- Why is the #1 manufactured housing producing/shipment state of Texas in a sharp decline? Most of those producers shipping into Texas are reportedly MHI members.
- By contrast, the #2 manufactured home shipment state of Florida reportedly has a larger mix of MHARR members producing and shipping into that state than many others.
- That raises the question. Are MHI members, at some level, colluding to slow production and shipments?
MHProNews plans to continue to monitor the data and raise concerns as the evidence appears to warrant.
As longtime MHProNews readers know, this publication and our MHLivingNews sister site have been exploring a range of evidence that points to concerns connected to MHI and prominent MHI members.
Regulatory, shareholders, and concerns for those who are seeking affordable housing but are being apparently thwarted in their efforts by circumstances beyond an individual’s, couple’s, or family’s control warrants a formal probe. Additionally, arguably related questions raised by the DOE and other issues are likewise important to explore. See the MHARR report for their take on several of the key issues that appear to be a drag on the industry as a whole.
MHProNews will continue to monitor and report on the various publicly traded companies to see what insights can be gleaned which shed light on the manufactured housing industry’s underperformance during an affordable housing crisis. A fresh look at a Clayton connected exposé and other MHVille exclusives are planned for the near term. With respect to Nobility, they are arguably relatively outperforming some of their larger competitors, based on the information shown and linked. See the Nobility Homes column in the third graphic in Part III below for additional information. There are apparent silver linings in the dark clouds that have caused manufactured housing to underperform as a whole during an affordable housing crisis. This report sheds light on the notion that the overall status quo need not be so. The industry could and should be growing robustly. Given that MHI claims to represent “all segments” of the industry and sales are a post-production issue, surely they and their board bear some responsibility for the current state of the industry? See the linked and related reports for more details.
