Forward-Looking Statements © 2017 UPC | CONFIDENTIAL 2 We make forward-looking statements in this presentation that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward- looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical facts. These statements may include words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” “project,” “goal,” “intend” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward- looking statements may include projections of our future financial or operating performance, our anticipated growth strategies, anticipated trends in our business and other future events or circumstances. These statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events and may prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may prove to be incorrect or imprecise and may prove to be inaccurate. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described in any forward-looking statements will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: economic changes, either nationally or in the markets in which we operate, including declines in employment, volatility of mortgage interest rates, declines in consumer sentiment and an increase in inflation; downturns in the homebuilding industry, either nationally or in the markets in which we operate; continued volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets; the operating performance of our business; changes in our business and investment strategy; availability of land to acquire and our ability to acquire land on favorable terms or at all; availability, terms and deployment of capital; disruptions in the availability of mortgage financing or increases in the number of foreclosures in our markets; shortages of or increased prices for labor, land or raw materials used in housing construction; delays or restrictions in land development or home construction, or reduced consumer demand resulting from adverse weather and geological conditions or other events outside our control; the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds; changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, governmental laws and regulations; the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals and the opening of communities; the degree and nature of our competition; our leverage and debt service obligations; our future operating expenses, which may increase disproportionately to our revenue; our ability to achieve operational efficiencies with future revenue growth; our relationship, and actual and potential conflicts of interest, with PICO, which owns a majority economic interest in UCP, LLC; and availability of, and our ability to retain, qualified personnel. For a further discussion of these and other factors, see the “Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking statements discussed in this presentation might not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by law.

(1) Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is homebuilding gross margin. Adjusted gross margin is defined as gross margin plus capitalized interest, impairment and abandonment charges. We use adjusted gross margin information as a supplemental measure when evaluating our operating performance. We believe this information is meaningful, because it isolates the impact that leverage and non-cash impairment and abandonment charges have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes interest expense and impairment and abandonment charges, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance is limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance. The table above provides a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin numbers to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. 18 © 2017 UCP | CONFIDENTIAL Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, ($ in thousands) 2016 % 2015 % 2016 % 2015 % Consolidated Gross Margin & Adjusted Gross Margin Revenue $104,565 100.0% $106,870 100.0% $349,368 100.0% $278,791 100.0% Cost of Sales 85,171 81.5% 85,952 80.4% 287,840 82.4% 227,324 81.5% Gross Margin 19,394 18.5% 20,918 19.6% 61,528 17.6% 51,467 18.5% Add: interest in cost of sales 2,429 2.3% 2,176 2.0% 8,118 2.3% 5,592 2.0% Add: impairment and abandonment charges 17 − 929 0.9% 3,112 0.9% 1,075 0.4% Adjusted Gross Margin(1) $21,840 20.9% $24,023 22.5% $72,758 20.8% $58,134 20.9% Consolidated Gross margin percentage 18.5% 19.6% 17.6% 18.5% Consolidated Adjusted gross margin percentage(1) 20.9% 22.5% 20.8% 20.9% Homebuilding Gross Margin & Adjusted Gross Margin Homebuilding revenue $104,438 100.0% $88,892 100.0% $343,919 100.0% $252,597 100.0% Cost of home sales 85,053 81.4% 72,926 82.0% 281,072 81.7% 207,670 82.2% Homebuilding gross margin 19,385 18.6% 15,966 18.0% 62,847 18.3% 44,927 17.8% Add: interest in cost of home sales 2,418 2.3% 1,908 2.1% 7,737 2.2% 5,275 2.1% Add: impairment and abandonment charges − − 923 1.0% 458 0.1% 1,042 0.4% Adjusted homebuilding gross margin(1) $21,803 20.9% $18,797 21.1% $71,042 20.7% $51,244 20.3% Homebuilding gross margin percentage 18.6% 18.0% 18.3% 17.8% Adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage(1) 20.9% 21.1% 20.7% 20.3% Appendix – Gross Margin and Adj.

(1) The ratio of net debt-to-capital is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt-to-capital. We believe that our leverage ratios provide useful information to the users of our financial statements regarding our financial position and cash and debt management. The ratio of net debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus stockholders’ and member's equity. We believe the ratio of net debt-to-capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage emaployed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the ratio of debt-to-capital in the table above. In addition, other issuers or issuers in other industries may not calculate net debt-to-capital ratio in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, the net debt-to-capital ratio should be considered only as a supplement to the ratio of debt-to-capital information as a measure of our financial leverage. 19 © 2017 UCP | CONFIDENTIAL As of December 31, 2016 As of December 31, 2015 Debt $160,994 $155,966 Equity 226,886 217,408 Total capital $387,880 $373,374 Ratio of debt-to-capital 41.5% 41.8% Debt $160,994 $155,966 Net cash and cash equivalents $42,478 $40,729 Less: restricted cash and minimum liquidity requirement 16,547 15,900 Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents $25,931 $24,829 Net debt $135,063 $131,137 Equity 226,886 217,408 Total adjusted capital $361,949 $348,545 Ratio of net debt-to-capital (1) 37.3% 37.6% Appendix – Ratio of Net Debt to Capital

(1) EBIT (“earnings before interest & tax”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income before taxes. EBIT is computed from GAAP pre-taxable income by adding back interest expense. We believe that EBIT provides useful information to the users of our financial statements regarding our operating profitability. We reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to net income before taxes, based on the last twelve months, in the table above. In addition, other issuers or issuers in other industries may not calculate EBIT in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, EBIT should be considered only as a supplement to the net income before taxes as a measure of our operating profitability. (2) Interest coverage is computed using EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by comparing EBIT to interest expensed. We believe that interest coverage ratio is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand our debt and profitability of our operations and as an indicator of our ability to pay interest on our debt. 20 © 2017 UCP | CONFIDENTIAL UCP Interest Coverage Twelve Months Ended Twelve Months Ended 12/31/2015 12/31/2016 Pre-Tax Income $5,852,371 $9,163,055 Interest Expense included in COS 5,592,089 8,117,453 EBIT(1) 11,444,460 17,280,508 Depreciation 587,581 597,051 Amortization 34,000 34,000 EBITDA 12,066,041 17,911,559 Impairments (net of contingent consideration) 923,031 4,464,792 EBITDA (excluding Impairments) $12,989,072 $22,376,321 Interest Incurred $11,567,368 $12,502,682 Interest Coverage(2) 1.0 1.4 Appendix – EBIT
