Consolidated earnings before interest expense and income taxes ("EBIT") and before depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and before inventory impairments and land option write-offs and gain on extinguishment of debt, net ("Adjusted EBITDA") are not U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measures.

- The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.
- Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage is before cost of sales interest expense and land charges and is a non-GAAP financial measure. See appendix for a reconciliation of the historic measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
- Total SG&A includes homebuilding selling, general and administrative costs and corporate general and administrative costs. Ratio calculated as a percentage of total revenues. The SG&A guidance assumes that the stock remains at $69.48, which was the price at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, land-related charges and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net.
