Headwinds

  • Residential construction and financial services are designated as essential businesses as part of critical infrastructure in almost all of the municipalities across the U.S. where the Company operates.
  • The Company implemented operational protocols to comply with social distancing and other health and safety guidelines as required by federal, state and local government agencies, taking into consideration guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health authorities.
  • The Company remains cautious as to the ongoing impact C-19 and other external factors may have on the economy and its operations.
  • There is significant uncertainty regarding the extent to which and how long C-19 and its related effects will impact the U.S. economy and level of employment, capital markets, secondary mortgage markets, consumer confidence, demand for the Company’s homes and availability and cost of mortgage loans to homebuyers.
  • The extent to which this impacts the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and severity of C-19 and the impact on D.R. Horton’s customers, trade partners and employees, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
