OCALA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2026 / Today Nobility Homes, Inc. (OTCQX:NOBH) announced sales and earnings for its third quarter ended August 1, 2026. Sales for the third quarter of 2026 were $12.1 million slightly up from $12.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2025. Income from operations was $2.1 million versus $2.2 million in the same period a year ago and net income after taxes was $1.9 million as compared to $1.8 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2026 were $0.60 per share compared to $0.56 per share last year.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, sales were $35.1 million as compared to $39.0 million for the nine months of 2025. Income from operations was $6.0 million versus $7.2 in the same period last year and net income after taxes was $5.3 million versus last year's results of $6.1 million. Earnings per share for the nine months were $1.66 per share compared to $1.87 (diluted $1.86) per share last year.

Nobility's financial position during the third quarter of 2026 remains strong with cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and short-term investments of $25.8 million and no outstanding debt. Working capital is $44.4 million and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 7.4:1. Stockholders' equity is $58.4 million and the book value per share of common stock is $18.52.

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 59^th 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.
