Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide more color on the demand perspective, particularly geographically, and how production is ramping in different areas? A: William Boor, CEO: Inventories are under control, and we're getting back to a 1:1 ratio of setting a home and getting a resident in. Wholesale shipments have been a drain, but there's a developing tailwind. In the Southeast, we lost 15 to 20 production days due to storms, but we're optimistic about retail activity bouncing back.
