FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PULTE HOMES COMMENTS ON LONG-TERM
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL GOALS

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. – February 24, 2005 – Speaking today at the Company’s annual investor conference in New York City, the senior management team of Pulte Homes, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) discussed the Company’s three-year business plans and financial goals. Based on community count growth and initiatives to increase market share and drive greater operating efficiencies, Pulte Homes expects earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to increase at an average annual rate of approximately 20% over the next three years. Pulte Homes controls approximately 343,000 lots, which the Company estimates can support an average increase in community count of approximately 15% annually.

At its conference, the Company discussed in detail its strategy for simplifying business practices around the design, specification, sales and construction of its homes to help ensure production capacity and lower total construction costs. Senior management of Pulte Homes also provided details on the Company’s land management strategies and tactics that enable it to source a growing and diversified supply of lots, while controlling costs and managing overall returns and risks. The Company went on to discuss its diversified operations serving 45 markets across the country and its strategy of serving all major customer segments.

“Our robust and diversified land pipeline, along with Pulte Homes’ unique strategy of serving all buyer segments, gives us a great opportunity to continue expanding share within existing markets,” said Richard J. Dugas, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “By introducing communities to serve additional customer segments, particularly among active adult buyers through our Del Webb brand, we have the potential to increase domestic closings and revenues by an average of 19% annually over the next three years.

“Given our top-line growth and initiatives to drive greater operating efficiencies by simplifying our business, we conservatively estimate earnings per diluted share from continuing operations can grow an average of 20% annually and that earnings from continuing operations can reach $13.00 to $14.00 per diluted share by 2007, up from the $7.67 per diluted share we earned in 2004,” said Dugas. “The fundamentals supporting housing demand are strong and, while anticipated higher interest rates will have some impact, we continue to see opportunities to expand market share and drive improved financial results.”

The webcast from today’s presentation, along with the supporting slides, will be archived on the Company’s website at www.pulte.com until March 31, 2005.

Creating Value within the Homebuilding Industry

How We View the Industry Macro Factor +/- Commentary Population growth + Adding approximately 2-2.5 million people annually. Immigration + Annual immigration rate expected to exceed .8 million. Historically underestimated Household formation + Forecast to increase to 1.3 million annually Demographics + Population is aging into peak earning and homeownership years Interest rates +/- Historically low, but expected to rise in 2005 Homeownership rates +/- Approaching 70% and at an historical peak. Increasing rates among minorities is gov't focus Unemployment -/+ Economic growth thought to be self-sustaining, but employment growth appears erratic

How We View the Industry Supply Remains Constrained Entitlement taking longer each year and results less certain Municipalities searching for "smart growth" solutions Avoid extending construction zones Preference on in-fill/brown field projects Advantages/disadvantages of higher density Scarcity supports land values, but costs trending higher Land issues create business challenges, but also create competitive advantages and barriers to entry for builders who control lots

Process Simplification The way to profitable growth

Process Simplification Steve Petruska Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer

Simplification Overview Steve Petruska Simplification Through Segmentation Steve Burch Simpler by Design Sean Degen Supply Chain Initiatives Reggie McCoy The Opportunity Ahead Steve Petruska A Pulte Investment... Erik Pekarski

History is a Poor Teacher Merchant builder Typical production less than 10 homes per year All built in the same market Each home is a "one off" custom designed to the buyer Often built on the buyer's lot or within a small subdivision Still the operating model for much of the U.S. homebuilding industry

Evolution of the Industry Development of the "hybrid" homebuilding model Largest builders constructing 30,000 homes or more annually Operating across multiple states, in multiple markets Offering home/lot/amenity within large community settings Still attempting to provide "custom" home through large number of floor plans and unlimited options

The Rationale for Simplification Complexity changes at a exponential rate when the equation includes variables like: Rapidly increasing size of operations House design/specification expand as we serve multiple buyer segments Shrinking of a "qualified" labor force Customer expectations for quality getting higher Failure to deliver hurts the brand and invites litigation

The merchant model and the hybrid model were never designed to handle the production volume of large builders

Simplification Strategy Offensive Capture economies of scale Reduce house costs Volume efficiencies Construction efficiencies Deliver greater value Higher specification level Better and more consistent quality Defensive Assure production capacity (labor and materials) in the face of: Rapidly increasing size of operation Shrinking pool of skilled labor Increasingly diverse buyer profile Supply chain disruptions caused by external factors, such as hurricanes

The Most Obvious Cost Reduction Opportunities Example Example 2004 2004 Revenues $11.1 billion $11.1 billion Labor and Materials $5.3 billion $5.3 billion If Savings Reached: If Savings Reached: If Savings Reached: Estimated Split Estimated Split Estimated Split 1% 3% 5% Labor 30% 30% $1.6 billion $16,000,000 $48,000,000 $80,000,000 Materials 70% 70% $3.7 billion $37,000,000 $111,000,000 $185,000,000

The Opportunity Costs Resulting from Production Shortfalls Example 2004 Production Shortfall of: Production Shortfall of: Production Shortfall of: Revenues $11.1 billion 3% 7% 10% Gross Profit $2.5 billion Reduces Deliveries: Reduces Deliveries: Reduces Deliveries: Delivered Units 38,612 1,158 2,703 3,861 Reduces Gross Profit: Reduces Gross Profit: Reduces Gross Profit: Gross Profit Per Unit $65,000 $75,000,000 $176,000,000 $251,000,000

Simplification is Multi-Step Process Floor plan reduction Specification consolidation and reduction (includes eliminating/limiting options) Planned production (level loading) Unbundling Labor and Materials Buy manufacturer direct Establish distribution network Streamline delivery to job-site Phase I - Enabling Phase II - Production Capability Phase III - Drive to Lowest "Total Cost"

Simplification Through Segmentation It All Starts With the Customer Steve Burch Vice President Segmentation

Simplification Through Segmentation The simple idea-leverage the capabilities of segmentation to: Identify what our consumers REALLY want and CAN AFFORD in their homes Everybody wants the "best" but affordability issues require that they WILL/DO make trade-offs ALIGN our product offering to consumers across all TCG's and all markets Consumer product NEEDS are the same no matter where they live

Macro Market Indicators What's the size of the market? How healthy is the market? How much housing business is likely to be thrown off? Which TCGs are likely to be impacted favorable or unfavorably How will regulatory and environmental issues influence the housing business? Given the TCGs ... how many consumers are in each group? How likely are they to move? What do they want and what can they afford? How do consumers define the submarkets? What's the hierarchy of submarkets based on desirability? Where's each TCG likely to want to live? Which are the best selling communities by TCG? Why are they the best selling? Which submarkets appear to be over served and underserved Who are the major builders? What's their business model, including typical customer and product? What's their image among consumers? Which are the most successful builders/communities? What makes them successful? Segmentation Information Expressed As Critical Management Questions Competitive Analysis Consumer Segmentation Geographic Segmentation Supply Analysis

Understanding Consumer Groups The Engine that drives this is the Target Consumer Group Model We crafted a set of eleven Target Consumer Groups that are: Unique to Pulte Fine-tuned so that they can be used consistently across the entire company Designed to help CONNECT our business processes to the wants and needs of our consumers

Putting TCG Information to Work The TCG Model addresses specific questions about the Wants and Needs of the consumer groups: "Where do they want to live?" Connects to profitably increasing penetration in existing markets "What do they want to live in?" Connects to simplifying floor plan offerings "How much can they afford and what do they want/need in their home?" Connects to simplifying and consolidating specifications

.. Primarily families with young children, or starter couples anticipating an arrival Kids are in school now or will be very soon Marriage, growing family and job issues are key drivers for their purchase Making good money Building equity and investments Tend to be willing and able to stretch to buy TCG 5 - Young Families (Middle Class)

.. Values school district considerations over most everything else other than affordability "Belonging" is very important. Living among "people like me" i.e. other families with young kids is a strong driver Home is a MAJOR investment House needs "communal" areas where the family can gather (eating areas; socialization areas) as opposed to "private" areas Optimize affordability but appreciate (and pay for) more features and amenities than TCG 4 Desired community amenities -- kid oriented but must be provided within the buyer's affordability limits TCG 5 - Young Families (Middle Class)

TCG Work - The Payoff Increasing penetration & reduced risk (diversification) in existing markets Simplifying floor plan offerings Simplifying and consolidating specifications

Executive Review - Michigan Distribution of Business by TCG Michigan Division is on a steady growth trend in overall closings over the next 2 years Business diversification in TCG penetration from 2003 (4 TCGs) to 2006 (7 TCGs) Del Webb (Empty Nest/Active Adult) closings are set in 2006 with a dramatic increase into 2007 and 2008 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.0% 35.0% 40.0% 45.0% 50.0% 2003 2004 2005 2006 Year Percentage of Closings by TCG TCG 1 TCG 2 TCG 3 TCG 4 TCG 5 TCG 6 TCG 7 TCG 8 TCG 9 TCG 10 TCG 11 1444 Actual Closings 4 TCGs 1445 Actual Closings 6 TCGs 1650 Planned Closings 7 TCGs 2200 Planned Closings 7 TCGs

Floor Plan Simplification Using Segmentation Using the Characteristics of the Target Consumer Groups Portfolios of floor plans are built OPTIMIZE the requirements of the consumers Consider the constraints of lot sizes Portfolios are building blocks to the creation of communities The Pulte product (a house on a lot in a community) that meets (hopefully exceeds) the needs of specifically targeted buyers Doing this will eliminate redundancy across the Pulte Product Catalog The same process applies for specification simplification and consolidation

Specification Standardization Using Segmentation Blue Green Red Yellow Super Value TCGs 1,2,4 10A & 11A Style Conscious TCGs 3,5,8, 10B & 11 Affluent/ Gracious Living TCGs 6, 7, 9, 10C Super Premium TCGs 7, 9 & some 10

Simplification Through Segmentation While there are a lot of good things that come out of all this... Standardization Consistency Control Cost Savings The BIG win is leveraging our increasing size and purchasing power to deliver superior value to our Target Consumer Groups

Simplification and the Supply Chain Our initiatives will leverage our simpler process by: Using volume and simplicity to buy better Manufacturer direct Fewer SKU's Showing the trade base that unbundling labor and material makes them more money We are growing; well trained labor supply is shrinking Pulte has to ensure our production capability Grow your "labor" business to offset the material loss Strategically source all materials associated with building the home We cannot be subjected to "shortages"

Simplification and the Supply Chain When production capability is ensured we can: Develop distribution networks to dramatically improve cost and cycle time Many options exist to Pulte on this front: We can use existing distribution network but at a much more reasonable price We can contract with third party logistics operations dedicated to servicing Pulte We could operate Pulte owned flow-through centers

Simplification and the Supply Chain New distribution model - Test It ! ! Develop and test high velocity distribution pilots in 2 markets by late '05 Florida S. California (NIE) Key Site Selection Factors Market size to support high velocity network Trade base already "unbundled" Geographically close communities with the Division Predictable schedule already in place Aligned and simplified specifications

Simplifying the Business Isn't Simple Begin first phase of plan reduction work Internal/external analysis to develop list of house components critical to the customer First phase of plan reduction work is completed 40% reduction achieved Detailed analysis of top 20 components; aligning distinct specification levels to individual TCGs Initial Specification Standardization" on top 20 items. - -------- Issued RFPs to manufacturers on "reduced SKU" baskets of products Taking a Systematic Approach 2004 Activities Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Simplifying the Business Isn't Simple Analysis of manufacturer RFPs: Initial responses suggest savings on like-products in the range of 5% to 15% Implement multi-market community tests to gauge customer response to enhanced standard features model Complete second phase of plan reduction work: target product library below 1,000 plans Assuming successful market tests, incorporate standard specification levels into new communities as they open - ------- Begin test of high velocity distribution model in selected markets Taking a Systematic Approach 2005 Planned Activities Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Calculating the Opportunity When you add it all up, what could we be looking at: Maybe as high as 3-5% of recurring revenue On $15B-$20B this means $450M to $750M annually $9K to $15K/house Based on 2004 pre-tax income that would be an increase of 25%-45% Savings opportunities not included in current guidance Homebuilding is not the first industry to realize the need and potential savings associated with simplifying the business model. In reality, we're probably the last.

Conclusion There are some risks associated with moving this direction Trade behaviors so ingrained and change disrupts production Loss of choice (options) slow sales Manufacturers will not abandon current distribution channels

Conclusion But the potential risks of NOT moving this direction are greater: Plan calls for us to close more than 150,000 homes over the next three years Our ability to source the materials and labor necessary for this production is critical No one in this business has REALLY figured out how to purchase nationally and we can't afford to have a competitor do it first The Given is this: The first step in getting national purchasing power and getting a first mover advantage is to SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS

Land as a Competitive Advantage Roger Cregg Introduction

Agenda Land 101 Structured process for assessing, acquiring and using land assets Diversification - key to minimizing risks Understanding the cash flows Practical application Great Lakes - Peter Keane Florida - Jim Leiferman

Structured Approach to Land Acquisition Operating Strategic Plan (OSP): Annual macro-economic analysis of the market, analysis of the competitive environment and development of positioning strategy for the next 3 years Project Cycle Plan (PCP): shows how existing and planned projects will flow out over a rolling three year time horizon. Can quickly highlight plan risks and opportunities Project Feasibility (Feasy): detailed analysis required for every land transaction and related community development. Must be reviewed and approved by asset committee prior to purchase Key planning assumptions: no price increases over life of project

It's All About Return on Capital Timing of capital investment is critical Techniques for managing land Compensation plans discourage overpaying or over investing in land assets Margins are important, but as part of achieving return targets Lower margin, higher pace (turn) projects are perfectly acceptable Expand product offering to include townhouses and condos to reach new price points and TCGs Own versus optioning land Use options where available Economics favor financing land internally, rather than using higher 3rd party capital Minimal off-balance sheet financing More willingness to participate in strategic joint-ventures to gain access to specific land positions

Conservative Business Practices Project must achieve 21% or higher IRR over it's life to be considered for development Assume no price increase on the home throughout life of community Low threshold for bringing land on the balance sheet

Why is the Land Pipeline Getting Longer Balance sheet permits expanded investment Ability to control vital land resources without stressing the balance sheet Prudent use of options allows the company to control approximately $6.5 billion in additional land, with an investment of only approximately $309 million associated with options and pre-acquisition costs. Diversifying into more customer segments Expanding Del Webb presence Larger average community size versus Pulte traditional

Why is the Land Pipeline Getting Longer - continued Investment and development of strategic communities Almost 30 land positions of 2,000 lots or more currently under control including: Anthem Colorado - 3,100 lots less than 20 miles from Denver. Pulte and Webb communities. Opening for sales later this year Festival Ranch (Phoenix) - 9,000 lots; replacement for Sun City Grand Wiregrass (Tampa) - 9,750 lots supporting multiple brands: Pulte, Del Webb and DiVosta Merrill Ranch and Sun Valley South - 14,000 lots to support expansion of Webb in Phoenix Ave Maria - 7,500 lots in the Naples supporting Pulte, Del Webb and DiVosta communities

Controlling Costs Through Sound Investment Practices Land costs trending higher; rate of increase dependent upon market Using higher densities to control average lot costs Mix can have a significant impact on average lot cost Lot cost (undeveloped) is roughly 12% of revenue Rate of increase in average lot cost is the range of 1% to 3% annually Average Lot Cost '03 '04 '05 est. '06 est. Avg. Lot Cost 64000 70000 71000 73000

Understanding the Cash Flows Pulte is investing in land to continue expanding market share If we slow investment to replacement only, we become cash flow positive If we slow investment further, the business is a huge cash generator Land Amortization and Investment ($ billions) Land Amortization and Investment ($ billions) Land Amortization and Investment ($ billions) 2004 Actual 2005 to 2007 Land amortization projection $2.7 $12.0 Net income $1.0 $4.6 Leverage (maintaining 40% debt-to-cap) $.7 $1.8 Total Available for Investment $4.4 $18.4

Fundamentals of Pulte's Land Strategy Land is our most critical resource, and it's becoming more difficult to obtain Fund projects with expected pretax returns above 21% Emphasis on creating value results in decision to carry more assets on the balance sheet, rather than pay higher rates to 3rd parties Focus on maintaining balance sheet leverage at 40% or lower, not on specific number of lots under control Expansion of Del Webb model into more markets and with more communities has the effect of lengthening our land pipeline Strategic land positions in a number of markets coming on line over the next 12 months

Augusta Village Illinois Traditional

Sample Project - Augusta Village Acquisition & Entitlement Process 530 acres just off of Interstate 55, adjacent to Naperville Property was identified as high priority in 1996, but no interest by the family to sell until 2002 Land brokers played key role to help develop relationship with the property owners, as well as the Mayor of Bolingbrook. Team met with Mayor numerous times prior to contract signing to establish clear understanding of his vision for residential development, and worked within those parameters when designing the community Design included donation of 25 acres for a school site, as well as development of an 80 acre lake for regional storm water detention Within 6 months of contract signing, Pulte had approvals for 1,037 single family lots, targeting first and second move up buyers

Sample Project - Augusta Village Development & House Production Update Property was a single takedown purchase in September 2002 and it included four development phases Pulte and Village worked together to establish a Special Service Area (SSA) to fund various on-site improvements Pulte offers upscale single family homes from 1,775 to 3,036 square feet. Average selling price is $300,000 First unit closings in July 2003; close out of community anticipated by 1st Qtr of 2006, 241 2004 closings Due to the success of Augusta Village, Pulte/Del Webb are working with the related property owners to the south, and the Village of Bolingbrook, to acquire approximately 700 additional acres to develop a multi-branded community
