Centex Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2006
(Unless otherwise indicated, dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Centex Corporation and all subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities in which Centex Corporation has a controlling interest (the Company). Also included in the consolidated financial statements are certain variable interest entities, as discussed in Note (F), Indebtedness, and Note (H), Land Held Under Option Agreements Not Owned and Other Land Deposits. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information in the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Company suggests that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Companys latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At June 30, 2006, certain operations have been classified as discontinued. Associated results of operations and financial position are separately reported for all periods presented. For additional information, refer to Note (O), Discontinued Operations. Information in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise noted, does not include the accounts of discontinued operations.
(B) STATEMENTS OF CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows have not been restated for discontinued operations. For further information on the sale of the Companys international homebuilding and sub-prime home equity operations, see Note (O), Discontinued Operations. As a result, all international homebuilding cash flows are included with the Centex cash flows and all Centex Home Equity Company, LLC (Home Equity) cash flows are included with the Financial Services cash flows.

In addition to lot options recorded pursuant to FIN 46, as of June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, the Company recorded $45.3 million and $75.5 million, respectively, of land under the caption land held under option agreements not owned related to lot option agreements for which the Companys deposits exceeded certain thresholds.
(C) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), under which the Company recognized compensation expense of a stock option award over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) entitled Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R) using the modified-prospective transition method. Accordingly, prior periods have not been restated. The adoption of SFAS 123R was not significant.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits related to deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires that cash flows resulting from tax benefits related to tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) be classified as financing cash flows. As a result, the Company classified $5.5 million of excess tax benefits as financing cash inflows for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

(1) | This is an unsecured, committed, multi-bank revolving credit facility, maturing in July 2010, which serves as backup for Centex Corporations $1.25 billion commercial paper program and provides $835 million of letter of credit capacity. As of June 30, 2006, the $1.25 billion commercial paper program had $750 million outstanding, which has been deducted from the available capacity under the back-up facility. There have been no direct borrowings under this revolving credit facility since its inception. | |
(2) | In conjunction with the issuance of surety bonds in support of our Construction Services activity, Centex Corporation has agreed to provide letters of credit of up to $100 million if Centex Corporations public debt ratings fall below investment grade. In support of this ratings trigger, we maintain a minimum of $100 million in unused committed credit at all times. | |
(3) | Centex Corporation maintains a $150 million unsecured, uncommitted credit facility. | |
(4) | CTX Mortgage Company, LLC maintains $740 million of secured, committed mortgage warehouse facilities to finance mortgages. | |
(5) | The amount of available capacity for continuing operations consists of $2,992.5 million of committed capacity and $150.0 million of uncommitted capacity as of June 30, 2006. Although we believe that the uncommitted capacity is currently available, there can be no assurance that the lender under this facility would elect to make advances if and when requested to do so. | |

CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and Harwood Street Funding I, LLC

loans, it typically holds them on average approximately 60 days and then resells them into the secondary market. In accordance with the HSF-I Purchase Agreement, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC acts as servicer of the loans owned by HSF-I and arranges for the sale of the eligible mortgage loans into the secondary market. HSF-I obtains the funds needed to purchase eligible mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage Company, LLC by issuing (1) short-term secured liquidity notes, (2) medium-term debt and (3) subordinated certificates. As of June 30, 2006, HSF-I had outstanding (1) short-term secured liquidity notes rated A1+ by Standard & Poors, or S&P, and P-1 by Moodys Investors Service, or Moodys, and (2) subordinated certificates maturing in September 2009, extendable for up to five years, rated BBB by S&P and Baa2 by Moodys. The purposes of this arrangement are to allow CTX Mortgage Company, LLC to reduce funding costs associated with its originations, to improve its liquidity and to eliminate credit risks associated with mortgage warehousing.
Pursuant to FIN 46, HSF-I is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, HSF-I was consolidated in the Companys financial statements beginning July 1, 2003.
HSF-I has entered into a swap arrangement with a bank (the Harwood Swap) under which the bank has agreed to make certain payments to HSF-I, and HSF-I has agreed to make certain payments to the bank, the net effect of which is that the bank has agreed to bear certain interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the mortgage loans held by HSF-I. The purpose of this arrangement is to provide credit enhancement to HSF-I by permitting it to hedge these risks with a counterparty having a short-term credit rating of A1+ from S&P and P-1 from Moodys. However, the Company effectively bears all interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks that are the subject of the Harwood Swap because Centex has entered into a separate swap arrangement with the bank pursuant to which Centex has agreed to pay to the bank all amounts that the bank is required to pay to HSF-I pursuant to the Harwood Swap plus a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the notional amount of the Harwood Swap. Additionally, the bank is required to pay to Centex all amounts that the bank receives from HSF-I pursuant to the Harwood Swap. Financial Services executes forward sales of CTX Mortgage Company, LLCs mortgage loans to hedge the risk of reductions in value of mortgages sold to HSF-I or maintained under secured financing agreements. This offsets the majority of the Companys risk as the counterparty to the swap supporting the payment requirements of HSF-I. See additional discussion of interest rate risks in Note (L), Derivatives and Hedging. The Company is also required to reimburse the bank for certain expenses, costs and damages that it may incur.
HSF-Is debt and subordinated certificates do not have recourse to the Company, and the consolidation of this debt and subordinated certificates has not changed the Companys debt ratings. The Company does not guarantee the payment of any debt or subordinated certificates of HSF-I and is not liable for credit losses relating to securitized residential mortgage loans sold to HSF-I. However, the Company retains certain risks related to the portfolio of mortgage loans held by HSF-I. In particular, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC makes representations and warranties to HSF-I to the effect that each mortgage loan sold to HSF-I satisfies the eligibility criteria and portfolio requirements discussed above. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC may be required to repurchase mortgage loans sold to HSF-I if such mortgage loans are determined to be ineligible loans or there occur certain other breaches of representations and warranties of CTX Mortgage Company, LLC, as seller or servicer. CTX Mortgage Company, LLCs obligations as servicer, including its obligation as servicer to repurchase such loans, are guaranteed by Centex Corporation. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC records a liability for its estimated losses for these obligations and such amount is included in its loan origination reserve. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies sold $2.86 billion and $2.55 billion of mortgage loans to investors during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies recognized gains on sales of mortgage loans and related derivative activity of $46.6 million and $39.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
In the event Financial Services is unable to finance its inventory of loans through HSF-I, it would draw on other existing credit facilities. In addition, Financial Services would need to make other customary financing arrangements to fund its mortgage loan origination activities. Although the Company believes that Financial Services could arrange for alternative financing that is common for non-investment grade mortgage companies, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available on satisfactory terms, and any delay in obtaining such financing could adversely affect the results of operations of Financial Services.

(G) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Joint Ventures
The Company conducts a portion of its land acquisition, development and other activities through its participation in joint ventures in which the Company holds less than a majority interest. These land related activities typically require substantial capital, and partnering with other developers and, to a lesser extent, financial partners, allows Home Building to share the risks and rewards of ownership and to provide broader strategic advantages.
A summary of the Companys Home Building joint ventures is presented below:

The Company could be required to contribute additional capital to these joint ventures to the extent the loan to value ratio falls below the specified ratio. The Company has not been requested to perform under any of its limited maintenance guarantees. | |
(2) | The Company has guaranteed repayment of a portion of certain joint venture debt limited to its ownership percentage of the joint venture or a percentage thereof. | |
(3) | These amounts represent the Companys maximum exposure based on the joint ventures debt at each respective date. |
Debt agreements for joint ventures vary by lender in terms of structure and level of recourse. For certain of the joint ventures the Company is also liable on a contingent basis, through other guarantees, letters of credit or other arrangements, with respect to a portion of the construction debt. Certain joint venture agreements require the Company to guarantee the completion of a project or phase if the joint venture does not perform the required development. To the extent development costs exceed amounts available under the joint ventures credit facility, the Company would be liable for incremental costs to complete development. Additionally, the Company has agreed to indemnify the construction lender for certain environmental liabilities in the case of most joint ventures, and most guarantee arrangements provide that the Company is liable for its proportionate share of the outstanding debt if the joint venture files for voluntary bankruptcy. The Company has not been requested to perform under any of these guarantees.
The Company also has investments in joint ventures related to its Construction Services and Other segments totaling $2,677 and $2,605 as of June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively.
Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
In the normal course of business, the Company issues letters of credit and surety bonds pursuant to certain performance related obligations, as security for certain land option purchase agreements of the Home Building segment and under various insurance programs. Based on the information currently available to the Company, the Company does not have any reason to believe that these letters of credit or bonds will be drawn upon.

Warranties and Guarantees
In the normal course of its business, the Company issues certain warranties and guarantees or makes certain representations related to its home sales, land sales, building sales, commercial construction and mortgage loan originations. The Company believes that it has established the necessary accruals for these representations, warranties and guarantees. See further discussion of our warranty liability below.
Home Building offers a ten-year limited warranty for most homes constructed and sold. The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship in the first two years of the customers ownership of the home and certain designated components or structural elements of the home in the third through tenth years. Home Building estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty program for which it will be responsible and records a liability at the time each home is closed. Factors that affect Home Buildings warranty liability include the number of homes closed, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. Home Building periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in Home Buildings contractual warranty liability are as follows for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended March 31, 2006:

Litigation and Related Matters
In the normal course of its business, the Company is named as a defendant in certain suits filed in various state and federal courts. Management believes that none of the litigation matters in which the Company or any subsidiary is involved, including those described below, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or operations of the Company.
In January 2003, the Company received a request for information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act seeking information about storm water pollution prevention practices at projects that the Company had completed or was building. Subsequently, the EPA limited its request to Home Building and 30 communities. Home Building has provided the requested information and the United States Department of Justice (the Justice Department), acting on behalf of the EPA, has asserted that some of these and certain other communities (including one of Construction Services projects) have violated regulatory requirements applicable to storm water discharges, and that injunctive relief and civil penalties may be warranted. Home Building and Construction Services believe they have defenses to the allegations made by the EPA and are exploring methods of settling this matter. In any settlement, the Justice Department will want the Company to pay civil penalties and sign a consent decree affecting the Companys storm water pollution prevention practices at construction sites.
On November 23, 2004, Miami-Dade County, Florida filed suit against Centex-Rooney Construction Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary; John J. Kirlin, Inc.; and M. C. Harry and Associates, Inc., in the Countys Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. Miami-Dade County alleges that, in the course of performing or managing construction work on Concourse F at the Miami International Airport, the defendants caused a jet fuel line rupture on or about July 30, 1987, which resulted in the contamination of soil, groundwater and surface water in and around airport Concourse F. Miami-Dade County seeks damages of approximately $8.0 million for its costs incurred to date and for expected future costs, civil penalties and an order requiring the defendants to address remaining contamination. The Company believes it has substantial defenses to Miami-Dade Countys claims, including waiver and release and statute of limitations defenses. The Company also believes insurance coverage may be available to cover defense costs and any potential damages.
In December 2004, certain present and former employees of Centex Home Equity Company, LLC commenced a collective action lawsuit in the United States District Court for Northern District of Georgia. In this litigation, plaintiffs seek to recover unpaid overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act. As discussed elsewhere in this report, the Company sold Home Equity to an unrelated third party and agreed to indemnify the purchaser against all losses and expenses arising out of this lawsuit in excess of the amount of the reserves established on the books of Home Equity at the time of the closing of the sale transaction.
(H) LAND HELD UNDER OPTION AGREEMENTS NOT OWNED AND OTHER LAND DEPOSITS
In order to ensure the future availability of land for homebuilding, the Company enters into land option purchase agreements. Under the option agreements, the Company pays a stated deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land at a future time, usually at predetermined prices. These options generally do not contain performance requirements from the Company nor obligate the Company to purchase the land, and expire on various dates.

(J) BUSINESS SEGMENTS
As of June 30, 2006, the Company operated in three principal business segments: Home Building, Financial Services and Construction Services. These segments operate in the United States and their markets are nationwide. Revenues from any one customer are not significant to the Company.
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, intersegment revenues and cost of sales are included in the results of operations for the individual segments but have been eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment eliminations include the elimination of Construction Services revenues earned and costs and expenses incurred on multi-unit residential vertical construction with our Home Building business segment.
16
Home Building
Home Buildings operations currently involve the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of detached and attached single-family homes (including resort and second home properties and lots) and land or lots.
In September 2005, the Company sold all of its international homebuilding operations, which had previously been included in the Home Building segment, to a third party for cash. As a result of the sale, the operating results of the international homebuilding operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. See Note (O), Discontinued Operations, for additional information.
Financial Services
Financial Services operations consist primarily of mortgage lending, title agency services and the sale of title insurance and other insurance products. These activities include mortgage origination and other related services for homes sold by the Companys subsidiaries and others. Financial Services revenues include interest income of $29.4 million and $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Substantially all of the Companys interest income in each year is earned by the Financial Services segment. Financial Services cost of sales is comprised of interest expense related to debt issued to fund its home financing activities.
On July 11, 2006, the Company completed the sale of Home Equity to an unrelated third party. The operating results of Home Equity for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings and all related assets and liabilities have been disclosed separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note (O), Discontinued Operations, for additional information.
Construction Services
Construction Services operations involve the construction of buildings for both private and government interests including educational institutions, hospitals, multi-unit residential, correctional institutions, airport facilities, office buildings, hotels and resorts and sports facilities. As this segment generates positive cash flow, intercompany interest income (credited at the prime rate in effect) of $2.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, is included in managements evaluation of this segment. However, the intercompany interest income is eliminated in consolidation and excluded from the tables presented below.
Other
The Companys Other segment includes corporate general and administrative expenses and interest expense. Also included in the Other segment are the Companys home services operations and investment real estate operations, which are not material for purposes of segment reporting.

(L) DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
Cash Flow Hedges
Home Equity has interest rate swap agreements that, in effect, fix the variable interest rates on a portion of its outstanding debt. Home Equity also uses interest rate swaps to hedge the market risk associated with the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate securitization debt used to finance sub-prime mortgages. These interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. The following table summarizes the interest rate swap agreements in place as of June 30, 2006 (dollars in thousands except as indicated):

The interest rate swap agreements are recorded at their fair value in assets of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. To the extent the hedging relationship is effective, gains or losses in the fair value of the derivative are deferred as a component of stockholders equity through other comprehensive income (loss). Fluctuations in the fair value of the ineffective portion of the derivative are reflected in the current period earnings, although such amounts were insignificant for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Accumulated other comprehensive income associated with Home Equity as of the date of disposition will be reclassified into earnings.
Amounts to be received or paid under the swap agreements are recognized as changes in interest incurred on the related debt instruments.
18
Fair Value Hedges
Financial Services, through CTX Mortgage Company, LLC, enters into certain forward trade commitments designated as fair value hedges to hedge the interest rate risk related to its portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale, including mortgage loans held by HSF-I. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the forward trade commitments and the mortgage loans, for which the hedge relationship is deemed effective, are recorded as an adjustment to earnings. To the extent the hedge is effective, gains or losses in the value of the hedged loans due to interest rate movement will be offset by an equal and opposite gain or loss in the value of the forward trade commitment. This will result in no impact to earnings. To the extent the hedge contains some ineffectiveness, the ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in earnings. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness included in earnings was a loss of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness included in earnings was a gain of approximately $3.0 million.
Other Derivatives
Financial Services, through CTX Mortgage Company, LLC, enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with its customers under which CTX Mortgage Company, LLC agrees to make mortgage loans at agreed upon rates within a period of time, generally from 1 to 30 days, if certain conditions are met. Initially, the IRLCs are treated as derivative instruments and their fair value is recorded on the balance sheet in other assets or accrued liabilities. The fair value of these loan commitment derivatives does not include future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan or the value of any internally-developed intangible assets. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the IRLCs are recorded as an adjustment to earnings.
To offset the interest rate risk related to its IRLCs, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC executes forward trade commitments. Certain forward trade commitments are not designated as hedges and are derivative instruments. Their initial fair value is recorded on the balance sheet in other assets or accrued liabilities. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these forward trade commitments are recorded as an adjustment to earnings.
The net change in the estimated fair value of other derivatives resulted in a loss of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a loss of approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
(M) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position 109-1 (FSP 109-1), Application of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarified that the tax deduction on qualified production activities provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 should be accounted for as a special deduction and will reduce tax expense in the periods during which the amounts are deductible on the tax return. Based on the guidance provided by FSP 109-1, this deduction is accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS 109 which reduces income tax expense. The tax benefits resulting from the new deduction are reflected in the effective income tax rate of 38.1% and 37.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
In July 2006, the FASB finalized and issued FIN 48, entitled Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions as well as guidance regarding the measurement of the resulting tax benefits. FIN 48 requires a company to recognize for financial statement purposes the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to prevail (defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the tax position). FIN 48 will be effective as of the beginning of the Companys fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements.
(N) OFF-BALANCE SHEET OBLIGATIONS
The Company enters into various off-balance sheet transactions in the normal course of business in order to facilitate certain homebuilding activities. Further discussion regarding these transactions can be found above in Note (G), Commitments and Contingencies.
19
(O) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Condensed Financial Information
In September 2005, the Company sold its international homebuilding operations to an unrelated third party. As a result of the sale, international homebuildings operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.
On July 11, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its sub-prime home equity lending operation, Home Equity, to an unrelated third party. For more detailed information on the sale of Home Equity, refer to Note (P), Subsequent Events. Home Equitys operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings, and assets and liabilities related to these discontinued operations have been presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(P) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Sale of Home Equity
On July 11, 2006, the Company completed the sale of Home Equity to an unrelated third party. The estimated total, net after-tax proceeds to the Company from the sale are initially approximately $540 million. These proceeds reflect the initial cash consideration paid by the purchaser in the amount of approximately $550 million (the Initial Purchase Price), as adjusted for expenses associated with the sale, certain tax benefits to the Company and estimated post-closing adjustments. The Initial Purchase Price was based on an estimate of the book value of Home Equity, plus a premium calculated in accordance with agreed upon formulas and procedures. The book value component and the premium component of the Initial Purchase Price are subject to post-closing adjustments to reflect the actual book value of Home Equity as of the closing date and to reflect, among other things, the amount and value of the home equity loans and certain other assets of Home Equity as of the closing date. The premium component of the Initial Purchase Price is also subject to a post-closing adjustment based upon the volume of mortgage loans originated by Home Equity during a two-year period after the closing date (the Volume Incentive Adjustment) as described below.
21
The Company currently expects that the procedures required to effect the post-closing adjustments to the Initial Purchase Price will be completed within approximately 60 to 90 days after the closing date. There can be no assurance as to the timing of the completion of the adjustments or the results thereof.
The Volume Incentive Adjustment will depend primarily upon the total volume of mortgage loans originated by Home Equity during the two-year period after the closing date. The maximum additional amount that could be payable to the Company as a result of the Volume Incentive Adjustment is $30 million. However, under certain circumstances, such provisions could require the Company to repay up to $10 million of the amounts previously received from the purchaser. There can be no assurance as to the results of the Volume Incentive Adjustment, which will depend on the future operating results of Home Equity and other future events, many of which are outside of the Companys control.
Other
In July 2006, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 1.0 million shares of common stock at a total purchase price of $50.8 million, including commissions paid.
In July 2006, the Company granted 49,760 stock options and 20,950 shares of restricted stock to the Companys directors. The total value of these grants was $2.0 million.
(Q) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to be consistent with the June 30, 2006 presentation, including reclassification of distribution of earnings from joint ventures to cash flows from operating activities and reclassifications of discontinued operations.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is intended to help the reader gain a better understanding of our financial condition and our results of operations. It is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and accompanying notes.
Executive Summary
The following charts summarize certain key line items of our results of operations by business segment for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (dollars in millions):
* | Other consists of the financial results of our investment real estate and home services operations, as well as corporate general and administrative expense, interest expense and intersegment eliminations. |
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased 12.9% to $3.3 billion as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased 16.2% to $284 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The growth in our revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily due to an increase in average sales prices for our homes. The decrease in our operating earnings during the same period is primarily attributable to an increase in discounts and sale incentives for our homes, coupled with an increase in write-offs of land deposits and pre-acquisition costs as compared to the prior year. Increased discounts and sales incentives were primarily the result of higher housing inventories in key markets and other market conditions described below. Write-offs of land deposits and pre-acquisition costs were related primarily to a reevaluation of selected homebuilding projects in light of changing market conditions.
23
In the long-term, the overall demand for housing in the United States is driven by population growth, immigration, household formations and increasing home ownership rates. Short-term growth drivers such as mortgage rates, consumer confidence and employment levels can also impact housing demand. The highly fragmented homebuilding industry is in the early stages of a consolidation phase during which large homebuilders grow faster than the industry as a whole. In 1995, based upon single-family permits issued in the United States, the 10 largest homebuilders represented approximately 7.2% of the housing market. In calendar year 2005 (the most recent data available), the 10 largest homebuilders were producing approximately 24% of the nations new housing stock. We believe industry consolidation will continue to be an important growth factor over the next decade or more as large homebuilders realize the benefits of size, such as capital strength, more efficient operations and technological advantages. As of March 31, 2006, we had homebuilding operations in 38 of the 50 largest housing markets in the United States. We have largely completed our geographic diversification plan and are now focused primarily on further penetration in our existing markets.
| increased inventory of new and used homes for sale, |
| a decline in homebuyer consumer confidence, and |
| an increase in mortgage interest rates |
Financial Services operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2006 improved as a result of increases in revenues from loan sales to investors and interest income. These positive trends were partially offset by increases in funding costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. Since CTX Mortgage Company, LLC does not recognize revenue on its originated loans until they are sold to third party investors, the decline in Home Building sales could have a negative impact on CTX Mortgage Company, LLCs future operating results. Refinancing activity has declined due to an extended period of relatively low mortgage loan rates, which reduced the supply of loans likely to be refinanced. Recent increases in mortgage loan rates have helped to prolong this trend, which may continue in future periods. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC will continue to focus on serving the customers of our Home Building segment and increasing the percentage of prime mortgage loans provided to them.
The results of operations of certain of our segments, including our Home Building and Financial Services operations, may be adversely affected by increases in short-term and long-term interest rates. A significant increase in short-term interest rates above current prevailing levels could have an adverse effect on funding costs of our Financial Services operations. A significant increase in long-term interest rates above current prevailing levels could increase mortgage interest rates, which could affect the demand for housing, at least in the short term, by reducing the ability or willingness of prospective home buyers to finance home purchases. In addition, an increase in mortgage interest rates could curtail mortgage refinance activity. Although we expect that we would make adjustments in our operations in an effort to mitigate the effects of any increase in mortgage interest rates, there can be no assurances that these efforts would be successful.
Our Construction Services segment operating earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased as a result of an increase in construction revenue as compared to the prior year and also because approximately $2.5 million in costs were incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 for the merging of two offices. At June 30, 2006, Construction Services backlog was $2.90 billion, an increase of 23.1% over the prior year. Strategically, we will continue to focus on our core geographic and selected industry segments which provide greater opportunity to achieve growth in Construction Services revenues and operating earnings.
On May 11, 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 12 million shares. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased an aggregate of 3.5 million shares of our common stock at a total
24
purchase price of $187.2 million, including commissions paid. As of June 30, 2006, our remaining share repurchase authorization totaled 11.0 million shares. In July 2006, we repurchased an aggregate of 1.0 million shares of our common stock at a total purchase price of $50.8 million, including commissions paid.
On July 11, 2006, we completed the sale of our sub-prime home equity lending operation. Home Equity, to an unrelated third party. We estimate total, net after-tax proceeds will approximate $540 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The purchase price consisted of a payment based on the book value of the company, plus a premium calculated in accordance with agreed upon formulas and procedures. Additionally, we have the potential to receive an additional payment based on the volume of mortgage loans originated by Home Equity during the two-year period after the closing. For additional information regarding the sale of Home Equity, refer to Note (P), Subsequent Events, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 14, 2006.

Revenues increased in the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in average sales prices. All regions experienced increases in average sales prices, which are net of any customer discounts. Customer discounts increased 4.8% of housing revenue, up from 1.9% in the prior year. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, our growth rate in closings has declined when compared to the prior year as a result of decreases in sales orders for the past two quarters. We expect that the decreases in sales orders will significantly affect our closings in the near term, and will result in declines in closings in future quarters.

The increase in unit closings is reflective of an increase in average operating neighborhoods. On the other hand, closings per average neighborhood decreased as outlined in the table below.

(1) | We define a neighborhood as an individual active selling location targeted to a specific buyer segment with greater than ten homes remaining to be sold. |
The increase in average operating neighborhoods for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily the result of the closing out of neighborhoods at a slower rate as compared to the prior year. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, we opened 327 new neighborhoods and closed out of 250 neighborhoods.
Operating margins (consisting of operating earnings as a percentage of revenues) declined to 10.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 14.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in operating margins is reflective of an increase in discounts and sales incentives for our homes, coupled with an increase in write-offs of land deposits and pre-acquisition costs as compared to the prior year. We periodically write off deposits and pre-acquisition costs as a component of our ongoing land acquisition process and evaluation of potential market opportunities, which is reflective of our decision not to exercise an option or consummate a land acquisition as a result of changes in market conditions or other factors. Write-offs of land deposits and pre-acquisition costs included in cost of sales land sales and other amounted to $36.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Operating margins also decreased due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses include all homebuilding employee compensation and related benefits, selling commissions and marketing and advertising costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to increases in advertising, marketing and selling expenses to stimulate sales in light of current housing industry conditions as outlined above, as well as a slight increase in employee compensation and related benefits.
Revenues from land sales and other increased 113.6% to $87.8 million as compared to the prior year. The timing and amount of land sales vary from period to period based on several factors, including the location, size, availability and desirability of the land we own in each market. We deploy disciplined capital allocation and management strategies and processes in each of our markets. We also have individual market-focused land acquisition and entitlement resources. The execution of our capital management strategies, combined with the value created by our land acquisition and entitlement teams, result in sales of parcels of land from time to time. In some cases, the purpose of these sales may be to take advantage of an opportunity to realize value that has been created through the entitlement process for parcels on which we are not likely to be able to build homes for some time. These sales may also fund the acquisition of more desirable tracts in a market. Additionally, in certain situations, we may acquire more land than is required to support our planned growth in a particular geographic area. In addition, our resort and second home operations sell land in the normal course of conducting their operations.

Sales orders declined in each of the regions in which we do business, with the most pronounced declines being experienced in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. These declines led to a decrease in backlog in all regions other than the Southwest and West Coast, which experienced relatively small increases in backlog. As previously discussed, some of the factors we believe are contributing to the decrease in sales and backlog are increased inventory of new and used homes for sale, a decline in homebuyer consumer confidence and an increase in mortgage interest rates. Certain of these factors are evidenced by lower customer traffic and increases in cancellation rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, cancellation rates were 32.7% and 20.9%, respectively.

Our total land position decreased 4.4% as of June 30, 2006 as compared to a slight increase in the prior quarter. The decrease in our land position for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is reflective of our decision to decelerate land purchases and new lot option arrangements, as well as to walk away from certain existing lots controlled under option agreements. Our total land position owned or controlled under option agreements at June 30, 2006 will provide land for approximately 100% of closings for fiscal year 2007, 94% of closings for fiscal year 2008, and 75% of closings for fiscal year 2009 based on our current closing projections. Included in our total land position are approximately 36,555 and 35,063 lots controlled through joint venture arrangements as of June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively. We have completed our due diligence on 70,582 lots that we control (including certain of such lots controlled through joint ventures).
FINANCIAL SERVICES
The Financial Services segment is primarily engaged in the residential mortgage lending business, as well as other financial services that are in large part related to the residential mortgage market. Its operations include mortgage lending and other related services for purchasers of homes sold by our Home Building operations and other homebuilders, title agency services and the sale of title insurance and other insurance products, including property and casualty.

The revenues and operating earnings of CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies are derived from the sale of mortgage loans, together with all related servicing rights, title and other various insurance coverages, interest income and other fees. Net origination fees, mortgage servicing rights, and other revenues derived from the origination of mortgage loans are deferred and recognized when the related loan is sold to a third-party purchaser. Interest revenues on residential mortgage loans receivable are recognized using the interest (actuarial) method. Other revenues, including fees for title insurance, mortgage broker and other services performed in connection with mortgage lending activities, are recognized as earned.
In the normal course of its activities, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies carry inventories of loans pending sale to third-party investors and earn an interest margin, which we define as the difference between interest revenue on mortgage loans held for sale and interest expense on debt used to fund the mortgage loans.
Our business strategy of selling prime loans reduces our capital investment and related risks, provides substantial liquidity and is an efficient process given the size and liquidity of the prime mortgage loan secondary capital markets. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC originates mortgage loans and sells them to HSF-I and investors. HSF-I is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary and is consolidated with our Financial Services segment. HSF-Is debt and subordinated certificates do not have recourse to us. We do not guarantee the payment of any debt or subordinated certificates of HSF-I and are not liable for credit losses relating to securitized residential mortgage loans sold to HSF-I.
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased year over year due to increases in loan sales to investors and interest income. Loan funding costs also increased as a result of higher short-term interest rates. This increase in funding costs was the primary factor contributing to the decrease in interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily related to an increase in compensation costs related to brokered loan production.

Builder originations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased as a result of an increase in Home Buildings closings and our continued focus on serving this customer base. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC originated 77% of the non-cash unit closings of Home Buildings customers, versus 75% for the same period in the prior year. Total origination volume decreased as a result of a decrease in retail originations caused by higher mortgage interest rates.
CTX Mortgage Company, LLCs operations are influenced by borrowers perceptions of and reactions to interest rates. Refinancing activity accounted for 17% and 20% of its originations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Any significant increase in mortgage interest rates above current prevailing levels could affect the ability or willingness of prospective homebuyers to finance home purchases and/or curtail mortgage refinance activity.

Construction Services revenues are impacted by the nature and size of construction projects, the stage of completion and the construction schedule as defined by project owners. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a substantial increase in backlog in prior periods resulting in a larger portfolio of work from which revenue was realized in this period. The increase in operating earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily the result of the larger portfolio of jobs and improved job profit margins. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, there has been an increase in active multi-unit residential projects, which have higher profit margins while at the same time lower margin jobs have completed and dropped out of the mix of business. As of June 30, 2006, we had 236 active projects which represent a 5.6% decrease over the same period in the prior year. The decrease in new contracts executed for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was due primarily to several large contracts executed during the three months ended June 30, 2005, which did not occur in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in backlog of uncompleted contracts was primarily due to an increase in the average contract values for projects in backlog as compared to the same period in the prior year. Construction Services defines backlog as the uncompleted portion of all signed contracts. Construction Services multi-unit residential backlog of $1.53 billion includes $256.0 million of vertical construction projects for our Home Building business segment.
Construction Services has also been awarded work that is pending execution of a signed contract. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, such work, which is not included in backlog, was approximately $2.15 billion and $2.24 billion, respectively. There is no assurance that this awarded work will result in future revenues.
OTHER
Our Other segment includes our home services operations, investment real estate operations, corporate general and administrative expense, and interest expense.

Our home services revenues increased 20.8% to $31.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase in revenues is the result of an expanded customer base. We had 374 thousand pest defense customers as of June 30, 2006 as compared to 287 thousand as of June 30, 2005. The decrease in our home services divisions operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily due to the increase in revenues and leverage in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Corporate general and administrative expenses represent corporate employee compensation and other corporate costs such as investor communications, insurance, rent and professional services. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily related to incremental employee compensation related to the acceleration of certain executive compensation costs for the June 30, 2006 retirement of an executive officer.
For further information on interest expense, see Note (B), Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows Supplemental Disclosures, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our effective tax rate was at 38.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2006, which was relatively consistent with the 37.8% effective tax rate for the same period in the prior year.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In September 2005, we sold our international homebuilding operations, which had previously been included in the Home Building segment. As a result of the sale, international homebuildings operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.
On July 11, 2006, we completed the sale of Home Equity to an unrelated third party. Home Equitys operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings, and any assets and liabilities related to these discontinued operations have been presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All prior period information has been reclassified to be consistent with the June 30, 2006 presentation.
For additional information on our discontinued operations, see Note (O), Discontinued Operations, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
International Home Building
Discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 included international home building operation revenues and operating earnings of $126.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

The revenues of Home Equity decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in the total average outstanding portfolio of residential mortgage loans held for investment, a decrease in the volume of performing whole loan sales, and also as a result of non-performing whole loan sales to third parties at a loss. Home Equity recorded $13.3 million in net operating losses related to the whole loan sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and $10.6 million in net revenue and operating earnings related to the whole loan sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Whole loan sales activity for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was negatively impacted by sales of non-performing loans at a discounted price. The selling of performing whole loans has the effect of increasing current operating earnings but decreasing future interest margin that would have been recognized had the loans been securitized or retained as inventory. Home Equitys strategy is to originate loans for investment with the intent to securitize. However, a program of whole loan sales is a component of Home Equitys diversification of funding sources. Whole loan sales vary from period to period based upon market conditions and Home Equitys funding requirements.
Cost of sales is interest expense, which increased for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of increases in interest rates on floating rate debt, slightly offset by a decrease in our average debt outstanding as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Operating expenses include all employee compensation and related benefits, marketing, advertising and occupancy costs. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased primarily as a result of costs related to the sale of Home Equity, including increases in marketing, advertising and legal expenses.
The decrease in operating earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily attributable to the decrease in our portfolio of residential mortgage loans held for investment which translated into a decrease in interest income, as well as a decrease in whole loan sale net revenues. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, interest margin decreased primarily as a result of higher borrowing costs, as well as increased competitive industry conditions.
Average interest earning assets and liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased primarily as a result of the decrease in our portfolio of residential mortgage loans held for investment.

* | Centex represents a supplemental presentation that reflects the Financial Services segment as if accounted for under the equity method. We believe that separate disclosure of the consolidating information is useful because the Financial Services subsidiaries and related companies operate in a distinctly different financial environment that generally requires significantly less equity to support their higher debt levels compared to the operations of our other subsidiaries; the Financial Services subsidiaries and related companies have structured their financing programs substantially on a stand-alone basis; and Centex has limited obligations with respect to the indebtedness of our Financial Services subsidiaries and related companies. Management uses this information in its financial and strategic planning. We also use this presentation to allow investors to compare us to homebuilders that do not have financial services operations. |
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, the Statements of Consolidating Cash Flows have not been restated for discontinued operations. As a result, all international homebuilding cash flows are included with the Centex cash flows and all Home Equity cash flows are included with the Financial Services cash flows.
We generally fund our Centex operating and other short-term liquidity needs through cash provided by operations, borrowings from commercial paper and other short-term credit arrangements, and the issuance of senior debt. Centexs operating cash is derived primarily through home and land sales from our Home Building segment and general contracting fees obtained through our Construction Services segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, cash was primarily used in Centexs operating activities to finance increases in Home Buildings inventories relating to the units under construction during the period, and for the acquisition of land held for development. The funds provided by Centexs financing activities were primarily from debt issued to fund the increased homebuilding activity, offset by scheduled debt maturities and share repurchases.
We generally fund our Financial Services operating and other short-term liquidity needs through committed credit facilities, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans to HSF-I and investors, Home Equitys securitizations and cash flows from operations. Financial Services operating cash is derived primarily through sales of mortgage loans, interest income on mortgage loans held by Home Equity for investment and origination and servicing fees. Financial Services cash used in investing activities was primarily to finance an increase in Home Equitys residential mortgage loans held for investment. The funds provided by Financial Services financing activities were primarily from new debt used to fund residential mortgage loan activity.

(1) | This is an unsecured, committed, multi-bank revolving credit facility, maturing in July 2010, which serves as backup for Centex Corporations $1.25 billion commercial paper program and provides $835 million of letter of credit capacity. As of June 30, 2006, the $1.25 billion commercial paper program had $750 million outstanding which has been deducted from the available capacity under the back-up facility. There have been no direct borrowings under this revolving credit facility since its inception. | |
(2) | In conjunction with the issuance of surety bonds in support of our Construction Services activity, Centex Corporation has agreed to provide letters of credit of up to $100 million if Centex Corporations public debt ratings fall below investment grade. In support of this ratings trigger, we maintain a minimum of $100 million in unused committed credit at all times. | |
(3) | Centex Corporation maintains a $150 million unsecured, uncommitted credit facility. | |
(4) | CTX Mortgage Company, LLC maintains $740 million of secured, committed mortgage warehouse facilities to finance mortgages. | |
(5) | The amount of available capacity for continuing operations consists of $2,992.5 million of committed capacity and $150.0 million of uncommitted capacity as of June 30, 2006. Although we believe that the uncommitted capacity is currently available, there can be no assurance that the lender under this facility would elect to make advances if and when requested to do so. | |
(6) | In connection with the sale of Home Equity on July 11, 2006, all of these credit facilities have been terminated or called for redemption. |
Mortgage loans held for sale are primarily funded by CTX Mortgage Company, LLCs sale of mortgage loans to HSF-I. HSF-I acquires mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage Company, LLC, holds them on average approximately 60 days and then resells them into the secondary market. HSF-I obtains the funds needed to purchase eligible mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage Company, LLC by issuing (1) short-term secured liquidity notes, (2) medium-term debt and (3) subordinated certificates. As of June 30, 2006, HSF-I had outstanding (1) short-term secured liquidity notes rated A1+ by Standard & Poors, or S&P, and P-1 by Moodys Investors Service, or Moodys, and (2) subordinated certificates maturing in September 2009, extendable for up to five years, rated BBB by S&P and Baa2 by Moodys. The purposes of this arrangement are to allow CTX Mortgage Company, LLC to reduce funding costs associated with its originations, to improve its liquidity and to eliminate credit risks associated with mortgage warehousing. HSF-I is consolidated pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised, or FIN 46; accordingly, the debt, interest income and interest expense of HSF-I are reflected in the financial statements of Financial Services.

Under debt covenants contained in our multi-bank revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios and a minimum tangible net worth. At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all these covenants.
As of June 30, 2006, our short-term debt was $2.40 billion, of which $1.65 billion was applicable to Financial Services. Certain of Centexs short-term borrowings vary on a seasonal basis and are generally financed at prevailing market interest rates under our commercial paper program.

CERTAIN OFF-BALANCE SHEET OBLIGATIONS
The following is a summary of certain off-balance sheet arrangements and other obligations and their possible effects on our liquidity and capital resources.
Joint Ventures
We conduct a portion of our land acquisition, development and other activities through our participation in joint ventures in which we hold less than a majority interest. These land related activities typically require substantial capital, and partnering with other developers and, to a lesser extent, financial partners, allows Home Building to share the risks and rewards of ownership and to provide broader strategic advantages.
A summary of our Home Building joint ventures is presented below (dollars in thousands):

$ | 237,150 | $ | 236,739 | ||||
(1) | We have guaranteed that certain of the joint ventures will maintain a specified loan to value ratio. We could be required to contribute additional capital to these joint ventures to the extent the loan to value ratio falls below the specified ratio. We have not been requested to perform under any of our limited maintenance guarantees. | |
(2) | We have guaranteed repayment of a portion of certain joint venture debt limited to our ownership percentage of the joint venture or a percentage thereof. | |
(3) | These amounts represent our maximum exposure based on the joint ventures debt at each respective date. |
Debt agreements for joint ventures vary by lender in terms of structure and level of recourse. For certain of the joint ventures we are also liable on a contingent basis, through other guarantees, letters of credit or other arrangements, with respect to a portion of the construction debt. Certain joint venture agreements require us to guarantee the completion of a project or phase if the joint venture does not perform the required development. To the extent development costs exceed amounts available under the joint ventures credit facility, we would be liable for incremental costs to complete development. Additionally, we have agreed to indemnify the construction lender for certain environmental liabilities in the case of most joint ventures, and most guarantee arrangements provide that we are liable for our proportionate share of the outstanding debt if the joint venture files for voluntary bankruptcy. We have not been requested to perform under any of these guarantees.
We also have investments in joint ventures related to our Construction Services and Other segments totaling $2,677 and $2,605 as of June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Some of our critical accounting policies require the use of judgment in their application or require estimates of inherently uncertain matters. Our accounting policies are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles; however, a change in the facts and circumstances of the underlying transactions could significantly change the application of the accounting policies and the resulting financial statement impact. Listed below are those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application. Our critical accounting estimates have been discussed with the members of the Audit Committee.
36
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Housing projects, land held for development and sale (including direct construction costs, capitalized interest and real estate taxes) and property, plant and equipment are assessed for recoverability in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. These evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No significant impairments of long-lived assets were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. See additional information on land write-offs under Inventory Valuation below.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired. See Note (E), Goodwill, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the changes in goodwill by segment. Goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment (conducted as of January 1), at the reporting unit level, by applying a fair value-based test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment has occurred. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow or market valuation approach. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If the goodwill is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair value. We had no impairment of goodwill in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Inventory Valuation
Housing projects are stated at the lower of cost (including direct construction costs, capitalized interest and real estate taxes) or fair value less cost to sell.
Home construction costs are accumulated on a specific identification basis. Under the specific identification basis, costs and expenses include all applicable land acquisition, land development and specific construction costs (including direct and indirect costs) of each home paid to third parties. Land acquisition, land development and home construction costs do not include employee related compensation and benefit costs. The specific construction and allocated land costs of each home are included in direct construction. Allocated land acquisition and development costs are estimated based on the total costs expected in a project. Direct construction also includes amounts paid through the closing date of the home for construction materials and subcontractor costs, plus an accrual for estimated costs incurred but not yet paid, based on an analysis of budgeted construction costs. Any changes to the estimated total development costs identified subsequent to the initial home closings in a project are generally allocated to the remaining homes in the project; however, such costs are charged to expense for neighborhoods where all or substantially all homes have already been closed.
Land held for development and sale primarily consists of deposits for land purchases, related acquisition costs and land that will not begin development in the next two years. Whether we elect to go forward with land purchases is dependent on a number of factors, including changes in market conditions in the area where the planned development is located. To the extent we determine that we will not purchase a parcel of land, the deposit and related acquisition costs are charged to cost of sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, $36.3 million of land deposits and pre-acquisition costs was written off. Included in the cost of land sales and other were write-offs of option deposits and pre-acquisition costs that were classified as land held for development.
Land Held Under Option Agreements Not Owned
In order to ensure the future availability of land for homebuilding, we enter into land option purchase agreements with unaffiliated third parties. Under the option agreements, we pay a stated deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land at a future time, usually at predetermined prices. These options generally do not contain performance requirements from us nor obligate us to purchase the land. Land option deposits related to these options are also reclassified to land held under option agreements not owned. To the extent we do not exercise our option to purchase such land, the amount of the lot option deposit, any letters of credit, as well as development costs incurred to date, represent our maximum exposure to loss, except in certain circumstances, which would not be material.
37
We have evaluated those entities with which we entered into land option agreements in accordance with the provisions of FIN 46. The provisions of FIN 46 require us to consolidate the financial results of a variable interest entity if we are the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Variable interest entities are entities in which (1) equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest and/or (2) the entity is unable to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the owner or investor that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entitys expected losses and/or receives a majority of the variable interest entitys expected residual returns.
We determine if we are the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities based upon analysis of the variability of the expected gains and losses of the variable interest entity. Expected gains and losses of the variable interest entity are highly dependent upon managements estimates of the variability and probabilities of future land prices, the probabilities of expected cash flows and entitlement risks related to the underlying land, among other factors. Based on this evaluation, if we are the primary beneficiary of those entities with which we have entered into land option agreements, the variable interest entity is consolidated. For purposes of consolidation, to the extent financial statements or other information is available, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of the variable interest entity. If financial statements for the variable interest entity are not available, we record the remaining purchase price of land in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption, land held under option agreements not owned, with a corresponding increase in minority interests. See Note (H), Land Held Under Option Agreements Not Owned and Other Land Deposits, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the results of our analysis of land option agreements.
In addition to land held under option agreements recorded pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46, to the extent our land option deposit exceeds certain thresholds, we recognize the option arrangement by recording land at the total option purchase price and related obligation in accrued liabilities.
Warranty Accruals
Home Building offers a ten-year limited warranty for most homes constructed and sold. The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship in the first two years of the home and certain designated components or structural elements of the home in the third through tenth years. Home Building estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty program for which it will be responsible and records a liability at the time each home is closed. Factors that affect Home Buildings warranty liability include the number of homes closed, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. Home Building periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Although we consider the warranty accruals reflected in our consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this accrual will prove to be sufficient over time to cover ultimate losses.
Loan Origination Reserve
CTX Mortgage Company, LLC has established a liability for anticipated losses associated with loans originated based upon, among other factors, historical loss rates and current trends in loan originations. This liability includes losses associated with certain borrower payment defaults, credit quality issues, or misrepresentations and reflects managements judgment of the loss exposure at the end of the reporting period.
Although we consider the loan origination reserve reflected in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2006 to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this reserve will prove to be sufficient over time to cover ultimate losses in connection with our loan originations. This reserve may prove to be inadequate due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers or industries.
Insurance Accruals
We have certain self-insured retentions and deductible limits under our workers compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies for which reserves are actuarially determined based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Projection of losses concerning these liabilities is subject to a high degree of variability due to factors such as claim settlement patterns, litigation trends and legal interpretations, among others. We periodically assess the adequacy of our insurance accruals and adjust the amounts as necessary. Although we consider the insurance accruals reflected in our consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this accrual will prove to be sufficient over time to cover ultimate losses.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position 109-1, or FSP 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarified that the tax deduction on qualified production activities provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 should be accounted for as a special deduction and will reduce tax expense in the periods during which the amounts are deductible on the tax return. Based on the guidance provided by FSP 109-1, this deduction is accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS 109 which reduces income tax expense. The tax benefits resulting from the new deduction are reflected in the effective income tax rate of 38.1% and 37.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
In July 2006, the FASB finalized and issued FIN 48, entitled Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions as well as guidance regarding the measurement of the resulting tax benefits. FIN 48 requires a company to recognize for financial statement purposes the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to prevail (defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the tax position). FIN 48 will be effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our financial statements.
This report includes various forward-looking statements, which are not facts or guarantees of future performance and which are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
Certain information included in this Report or in other materials we have filed or will file with the SEC, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us, contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate to matters of a strictly factual or historical nature and generally discuss or relate to forecasts, estimates or other expectations regarding future events. Generally, the words believe, expect, intend, estimate, anticipate, project, may, can, could, might, will and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, including statements related to expected operating and performing results, planned transactions, planned objectives of management, future development in the industries in which we participate and other trends, developments and uncertainties that may affect our business in the future. Such statements include information related to anticipated operating results, financial resources, changes in interest rates, changes in revenues, changes in profitability, interest expense, growth and expansion, anticipated income to be realized by our investment in unconsolidated entities, the ability to acquire land, the ability to gain approvals and to open new communities, supply and demand in the homebuilding market, the ability to sell homes and properties, the ability to deliver homes from backlog, the ability to secure materials and subcontractors, the ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities in the future, the completion of and effects from planned transactions and stock market valuations. From time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in our other periodic reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, press releases and presentations, on our web site and in other material released to the public.
Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but instead represent only our beliefs at the time the statements were made regarding future events, which are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are outside of the Companys control and certain of which are listed above. Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this Report and in any other reports or public statements made by us may turn out to be materially inaccurate. This can occur as a result of incorrect assumptions or as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many of the risks and uncertainties mentioned in this Report or another report or public statement made by us, including the risk factor section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (which is hereby incorporated by reference), will be important in determining whether these forward-looking statements prove to be accurate. Consequently, neither our stockholders nor any other person should place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements and should recognize that actual results may differ materially from those that may be anticipated by us.
All forward-looking statements made in this Report are made as of the date hereof, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from expectations expressed in this Report will increase with the passage of time. We undertake no obligation, and disclaim any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
39
as a result of new information, future events, changes in our expectations or otherwise. However, we may make further disclosures regarding future events, trends and uncertainties in our subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The above cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business include factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Other factors beyond those listed above, including factors unknown to us and factors known to us which we have not determined to be material, could also adversely affect us. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and all of our forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referenced in this section.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our direct debt obligations and mortgage loans receivable. We utilize derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, in conjunction with our overall strategy to manage the outstanding debt that is subject to changes in interest rates. We utilize forward sale commitments to mitigate the risk associated with the majority of our mortgage loan portfolio. Other than the forward commitments and interest rate swaps discussed earlier, we do not utilize forward or option contracts on foreign currencies or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments.
There have been no material changes in our market risk since March 31, 2006. For further information regarding our market risk, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and Note (L), Derivatives and Hedging, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation has been performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of our business, we and/or our subsidiaries are named as defendants in suits filed in various state and federal courts. We believe that none of the litigation matters in which we, or any of our subsidiaries, are involved would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or operations.
For a discussion of certain litigation and similar proceedings in which we are involved, please refer to Note (G), Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Set forth below is a discussion of the material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (2006 Form 10-K).
The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and other information disclosed in our 2006 Form 10-K.
As previously disclosed in a risk factor contained in our 2006 Form 10-K, in recent periods we reported declines or slower growth rates in the volume of homes sold, which could signal a downturn in the homebuilding industry. These trends became more pronounced during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, and we experienced a significant decline in sales orders in all of the principal areas in which we operate. We attribute these developments to, among other things, increased inventory of new and used homes for sale, a decline in homebuyer consumer

confidence and an increase in mortgage interest rates. These developments have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See 2006 Form 10-K, Item 1A, Home Building Deterioration in economic conditions generally or in the market regions where we operate could decrease demand and pricing for new homes and adversely affect our results of operations.
As previously disclosed in another risk factor contained in our 2006 Form 10-K, there is often a significant lag time between when we contract to acquire land for development and when we sell homes in neighborhoods we have planned, developed, and constructed. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we decided not to pursue development and construction in certain areas where we held land or had made option deposits, which resulted in significant write-offs of land deposits and pre-acquisition costs. These write-offs adversely affected our operating earnings and operating margins during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. If market conditions do not improve in future periods, we may decide not to pursue development and construction in additional areas, which would lead to further write-offs. See 2006 Form 10-K, Item 1A, Home Building The lag between when we acquire land and when we sell homes in our communities can make our operations susceptible to the effects of rapid changes in market conditions.
Our 2006 Form 10-K included a risk factor related to our then planned disposition of Home Equity. See 2006 Form 10-K, Item 1A, Discontinued Operations There are uncertainties associated with our planned disposition of Home Equity. On July 14, 2006, we announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K the consummation on July 11, 2006 of the sale of Centex Home Equity Company, LLC, our sub-prime home equity lending operations. As a result, the risks relating to the closing of the transaction are no longer applicable.

(1) | Of the 3,535,089 shares repurchased for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, 35,089 shares represent the delivery to the Company by employees or directors of previously issued shares to satisfy the exercise price of options and/or withholding taxes that arise on the exercise of options or the vesting of restricted stock. These transactions are authorized under the terms of the equity plans under which the options or other equity were awarded; however, these transactions are not considered repurchases pursuant to the Companys share repurchase program. | |
(2) | Except as provided in Note (1), all share repurchases were effected in accordance with the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
In December 2005, the Board of Directors increased our share repurchase authorization by an additional 5.0 million shares. On May 11, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 12 million shares. Of the 3.5 million shares purchased during the three months ended June 30, 2006, as part of publicly announced plans, 2.5 million shares represent shares of common stock repurchased pursuant to the December 2005 Board of Directors authorization. The 2.5 million share repurchase completed the December 2005 Board of Directors authorization. The remaining 1.0 million shares represent shares of common stock repurchased pursuant to the May 2006 Board of Directors authorization. Purchases are made in the open market or in block purchases, and such transactions may be effected from time to time or pursuant to share repurchase plans under SEC Rule 10b5-1. The share repurchase authorization has no stated expiration date, and the Board of Directors has authorized all shares repurchased.
