Terry Trexler, President, stated, “Total net sales decreased during the first nine months of 2026 as compared to same period in 2025 due to a decrease in the number of new retail homes sold in our Company owned retail sales centers (137 homes versus 195 homes) partially offset by an increase in the number of homes sold to independent dealers (184 homes versus 129 homes) which sales have lower margins.
We believe that potential customers continue to delay or defer purchasing decisions, or are generally opting to purchase lower cost homes, when considering the higher interest rate environment and the uncertainty of the economy, which continue to negatively impact sales. There also remain delays in the receipt of certain key production materials from suppliers, as well as back orders, price increases, tariffs and labor shortages which continue to cause delays in the completion of the homes at our manufacturing facility. We also continue to experience inflation in several building products resulting in increases in our material costs. We expect these challenges will continue throughout fiscal years 2026 and into 2027.
According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the manufacturing housing industry in Florida for the period from November 2025 through July 2026 increased by approximately 6% from the same period last year.
Our strong financial position remains key to our future growth and success. Our decades of experience in the Florida market, combined with growing demand for affordable housing, should position the Company well for the future. Management continues to believe our geographic market is one of the strongest long-term growth areas in the country.”
On June 5, 2026, we celebrated our 59th year in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured and modular homes. With multiple retail sales centers in Florida for over 36 years and an insurance agency subsidiary, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.
