2. Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation includes “forward-looking statements.” These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors
that could cause our actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities, as well as those of the markets we serve or intend to serve, to
differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements. 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 developments or conditions in the industries in which we
participate and other trends, developments and uncertainties that may affect our business in the future.
Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among other things: interest rate changes and the availability of mortgage financing;
continued volatility in the debt and equity markets; competition within the industries in which PulteGroup operates; the availability and cost
of land and other raw materials used by PulteGroup in its homebuilding operations; the impact of any changes to our strategy in responding
to continuing adverse conditions in the industry, including any changes regarding our land positions; the availability and cost of insurance
covering risks associated with PulteGroup's businesses; shortages and the cost of labor; weather related slowdowns; slow growth
initiatives and/or local building moratoria; governmental regulation directed at or affecting the housing market, the homebuilding industry or
construction activities; uncertainty in the mortgage lending industry, including revisions to underwriting standards and repurchase
requirements associated with the sale of mortgage loans; the interpretation of or changes to tax, labor and environmental laws; economic

state of the market for homes in general; legal or regulatory proceedings or claims; required accounting changes; terrorist acts and other
acts of war; and other factors of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business and competitive
nature. See PulteGroup’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and other public filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to our
businesses. PulteGroup undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events
or changes in PulteGroup’s expectations.

26. 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.
