Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On April 30, 2008, Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), announced its results of operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. A copy of the Corporation’s press release (the “Press Release”) announcing these results is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated in this Item 2.02 in its entirety by reference.

The Press Release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Housing operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Corporation as housing revenues less housing cost of sales less selling, general and administrative expenses. Housing operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Corporation as housing operating earnings divided by total housing revenues. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the attachments to the Press Release. For additional information concerning the Corporation’s use of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2007, which is also available on the Corporation’s web site at www.centex.com.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and charges being excluded. The Corporation compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to the GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

CENTEX REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR RESULTS

DALLAS, April 30, 2008 — Centex Corporation (NYSE: CTX) today reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Highlights of the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (compared to last year’s fourth quarter):

• Sales (orders) decreased 15% (down 5% on a per neighborhood basis) to 6,693

• Loss from continuing operations of $7.34 per diluted share

• Reduced homebuilding SG&A expenses by 35% or $138 million

• Generated more than $775 million of homebuilding operating cash flow

• Completed previously announced 8,545 lot land sale for $161 million in proceeds

Highlights of fiscal year 2008 (compared to fiscal year 2007):

• Total revenues decreased 30% to $8.28 billion

• Loss from continuing operations of $21.71 per diluted share

• Home closings decreased 24% to 27,202

• Reduced inventory of unsold homes by 64% to 1,754 units

• Reduced total owned and controlled lot count by 45% to 88,369 lots

• Reduced homebuilding debt by almost $800 million

“In the most difficult housing market in decades, we accomplished a number of key goals: We lowered our debt, reduced our land position and generated strong operating cash flow,” said Tim Eller, chairman and CEO of Centex Corp. “We also accelerated home sales in front of impending foreclosures, significantly reduced our unsold inventory and completed a large land sale. We were disappointed with our lack of operating earnings, but believe these actions position us to continue to build an even stronger cash position and to restore operational profitability in the future. Notwithstanding the outlook for a weak housing market, we are committed to delivering quality homes for our customers and to building a better Centex.”

Corporate Results

Fiscal 2008’s fourth quarter revenues were $2.31 billion, 36% lower than the same quarter last year. The loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $908 million, or a loss of $7.34 per diluted

share, down from a loss of $23 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the previous year’s fiscal fourth quarter.

Fiscal year 2008’s revenues were $8.28 billion, 30% lower than the $11.89 billion recorded in fiscal year 2007. The loss from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 was $2.66 billion, or a loss of $21.71 per diluted share. For fiscal year 2007, the loss from continuing operations was $9 million or a loss of $0.08 per diluted share.

Home Building

Fiscal 2008’s fourth quarter revenues were $2.25 billion, 36% lower than the same quarter last year as a result of a 33% decrease in closings to 7,100 homes and a 15% decrease in average sales price to $267,953. Partially offsetting the decrease in revenues from home closings was an 86% increase in land sale revenues to $343 million.

Home building reported an operating loss of $853 million for the quarter versus a loss of $13 million in last year’s fourth quarter. The operating loss includes $362 million of impairments and write offs as well as a $395 million loss related to the large land sale completed in the quarter.

Housing operating losses (housing revenues less housing cost of sales and SG&A) were $115 million, down from earnings of $190 million in the previous year. The decrease is a result of a 1,000 bps reduction in housing gross margin as well as a 43% decrease in housing revenues. The reduction in gross margin was a result of a 600 bps increase in discounts and sales incentives to 14.3% of revenues. Additionally, the gross margin was negatively impacted by the decision to reduce unsold inventory.

For fiscal year 2008, home building revenues were $7.97 billion, 30% lower than last year. The reduction in revenues was a result of a 24% decrease in closings to 27,202 homes and a 10% decrease in average sales price to $276,788. The reported homebuilding operating loss was $2.60 billion for the fiscal year versus earnings of $205 million last year. The reduction in operating earnings was primarily the result of $2.09 billion of impairments and write-offs recorded during the fiscal year.

Financial Services

Financial Services reported an operating loss of $39 million this quarter, down from earnings of $19 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, due principally to a $54 million provision for losses on its discontinued portfolio of mortgage loans. For fiscal year 2008, the operating loss was $138 million, down from earnings of $85 million last year, due principally to provisions for losses on its discontinued portfolio of mortgage loans.

Other

During the fiscal fourth quarter, the Company increased by $330 million a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The valuation allowance was reflected as a charge to income tax

expense and a reduction of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

As previously announced and subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company sold its pest defense
operations, HomeTeam Pest Defense, to Rollins, Inc., for $135 million. The transaction closed and funded in April of this year and is reflected as discontinued operations in the fiscal 2008 financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Explanations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and the accompanying attachments, and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, are given in the applicable attachments.

(A)	Consolidated capitalization includes debt, minority interest (excluding lot options), and stockholders’ equity, including Financial Services.
(B)	Capitalization includes debt, minority interest (excluding lot options), and stockholders’ equity. Capitalization presented above reflects Financial Services on an equity basis and does not include debt or minority interests attributable to Financial Services.
(C)	Pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as revised (“FIN 46”), the Company consolidates certain lot option agreements and records the deposit and remaining purchase price related to these options as land held under option agreements not owned with a corresponding increase in minority interests. These minority interests are excluded from the debt-to-capitalization ratio as the Company is not obligated to purchase the properties and pay these amounts.
(D)	Net debt-to-capitalization ratios are provided reflecting net capitalization, including net debt (debt less unrestricted cash), minority interest (excluding lot options), and stockholders’ equity. We believe this ratio reflects the debt/capitalization structure in a more inclusive manner as unrestricted cash could be applied to reduce debt at quarter end.

Debt-to-capitalization is a common financial ratio used in the homebuilding industry to evaluate debt capacity and leverage.

Forward-looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements which may be identified by the context of the statement, and generally arise when Centex is discussing its beliefs, estimates or expectations. Such statements include projections, forecasts, and plans and objectives of management for future operations and operating and financial performance, as well as any related assumptions. These statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but instead represent only Centex's belief 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 Centex's control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such statements. These risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail in Centex's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 (including under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"), as well as recent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, which are on file with the SEC and may be obtained free of charge through the web site maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. The factors discussed in these reports include, but are not limited to, the effects of the current downturn in the homebuilding industry; changes in national or regional economic or business conditions, including employment levels and interest rates; competition; customer cancellations; shortages or price changes in raw materials or labor; the effects of recent disruptions in the mortgage financing industry, including tightening of credit and reduction in liquidity; the availability of adequate sources of financing; our ability to generate cash from sales of assets and other sources that supplement our existing capital resources; and other factors that could affect demand for our homes or mortgage loans or the profitability of our operations. All forward-looking statements made in this presentation are made as of the date hereof, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this presentation will increase with the passage of time. Centex makes no commitment, and disclaims any duty, to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect future events or changes in Centex's expectations.
