forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs
concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described

statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many
of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements, including, among other things: (i) economic changes
nationally or in local markets, changes in consumer confidence, declines
in employment levels, inflation or increases in the quantity and
decreases in the price of new homes and resale homes on the market; (ii)
the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and a potential
deterioration in homebuilding industry conditions; (iii) factors
affecting margins, such as decreased land values underlying land option
agreements, increased land development costs on communities under
development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to
reduce our production and overhead cost structure; (iv) the availability
and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our
inventory, such as additional asset impairment charges or writedowns;
(v) estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog)
are imprecise, as they are subject to various cancellation risks that
cannot be fully controlled; (vi) shortages of or increased prices for
labor, land or raw materials used in housing production and the level of
quality and craftsmanship provided by our subcontractors; (vii) our cost
of and ability to access capital, due to factors such as limitations in
the capital markets or adverse credit market conditions, and otherwise

indebtedness and to comply with covenants in our debt agreements or
satisfy such obligations through repayment or refinancing; (ix) a
substantial increase in mortgage interest rates, increased disruption in
the availability of mortgage financing, a change in tax laws regarding
the deductibility of mortgage interest for tax purposes or an increased
number of foreclosures; (x) increased competition or delays in reacting
to changing consumer preferences in home design; (xi) continuing severe
weather conditions or other related events that could result in delays
in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease
demand in the impacted areas; (xii) estimates related to the potential
recoverability of our deferred tax assets; (xiii) potential delays or
increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes
to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and
possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or
governmental policies, including those related to the environment; (xiv)
the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of
any related obligations; (xv) the impact of construction defect and home
warranty claims, including water intrusion issues in

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, debt extinguishment, impairments and abandonments) to total Company net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position and level of impairments.
In addition, given the unusual size and nature of certain charges recorded during the periods presented, Adjusted EBITDA is also shown excluding these charges. Management believes that this representation best reflects the operating characteristics of the Company.
