Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Data This presentation contains information about home sale gross margin reflecting certain adjustments. This measure is considered a non-gaap financial measure under the SEC s rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measure as a measure of our operating performance. Management and our local divisions use this measure in evaluating the operating performance of each community and in making strategic decisions regarding sales pricing, construction and development pace, product mix, and other daily operating decisions. We believe it is a relevant and useful measure to investors for evaluating our performance through gross profit generated on homes delivered during a given period and for comparing our operating performance to other companies in the homebuilding industry. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, the methods used may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate gross margins and any adjustments thereto before comparing our measure to that of such other companies. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of this non-gaap financial measure to the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable. 26
