New and Existing Home Sales Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate New 1,000 Existing 1,000 New and existing home sales: "The robust housing market recovery is occurring in spite of tight access to credit and limited inventory. Without these frictions, existing-home sales easily would be well above the 5-million unit pace.” “Buyer traffic is 31 percent stronger than a year ago, but sales are running only about 10 percent higher. It’s become quite clear that the only way to tame price growth to a manageable, healthy pace is higher levels of new home construction.” Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist National Association of Realtors May 22, 2013 Source: National Association of Realtors (existing) and census.gov/const/c25 (new). 5 3,000 3,200 3,400 3,600 3,800 4,000 4,200 4,400 4,600 4,800 5,000 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 Jan '10 July Jan '11 July Jan '12 July Jan '13

9 Consumer Sentiment Conference Board May 2013: “Consumer Confidence posted another gain this month and is now at a five-year high.” “Back-to-back monthly gains suggest that consumer confidence is on the mend and may be regaining the traction it lost due to the fiscal cliff, payroll- tax hike, and sequester.” Lynn Franco, Director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center. 1966 = 100

Non-GAAP Information 31 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information: The Company believes that non-GAAP performance measures, which management uses in evaluating the Company's business, may provide users of the Company's financial information with additional meaningful bases for comparing the Company's current results and results in a prior period, as these measures reflect factors that are unique to one period relative to the comparable period. However, the non-GAAP performance measures should be viewed in addition to, not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income as Operating Income plus facility consolidation expenses and severance expenses, plus impairment of assets, plus impairment of goodwill, plus one time items so defined. (Note 2) The Company defines Adjusted EBIT as net income plus taxes and plus interest. (Note 3) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBIT plus depreciation and amortization, plus facility consolidation expenses and severance expenses, plus impairment of assets, plus impairment of goodwill, plus one time items so defined and plus other (income) expense - net. (Note 4) The company defines Free Cash Flow as Net Income plus interest plus depreciation plus non-cash impairment of assets and goodwill minus the net change in working capital minus the tax shield on interest minus capital expenditures net of asset sales. The change in net working capital is the change in current assets less current liabilities between periods. (Note 5)
