NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

PulteGroup, Inc. (“PulteGroup”) is a publicly-held holding company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PHM”. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PulteGroup and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. While the Company’s subsidiaries engage primarily in the homebuilding business, the Company also has mortgage banking operations, conducted principally through Pulte Mortgage LLC (“Pulte Mortgage”), and title operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Subsequent events

The Company evaluated subsequent events up until the time the financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Other expense (income), net

Other expense (income), net as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following (000’s omitted):

Restricted cash

The Company maintains certain cash balances that are restricted as to their use. Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits maintained with financial institutions under certain cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements (see Note 10). The remaining balances relate to certain other accounts with restrictions, including customer deposits on home sales that are temporarily restricted by regulatory requirements until title transfers to the homebuyer.

Notes receivable

In certain instances, the Company may accept consideration for land sales or other transactions in the form of a note receivable. The counterparties for these transactions are generally land developers or other strategic investors. The Company considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty when evaluating the relative risk and return involved in pursuing the applicable transaction. Due to the unique facts and circumstances surrounding each receivable, the Company actively monitors each individual receivable separately and assesses the need for an allowance for each receivable on an individual basis. Factors considered as part of this assessment include the counterparty’s payment history, the value of any underlying collateral, communications with the counterparty, knowledge of the counterparty’s financial condition and plans, and the current and expected economic environment. Allowances are recorded in other expense (income), net when it becomes likely that some amount will not be collectible. Such receivables are reported net of allowance for credit losses within other assets. Notes receivable are written off when it is determined that collection efforts will no longer be pursued. Interest income is recognized as earned. The following represents the Company’s notes receivable and related allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 ($000’s omitted):

	September 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
Notes receivable, gross	$	77,968		$	77,853
Allowance for credit losses		(40,960	)		(20,877	)
Notes receivable, net	$	37,008		$	56,976

The increase in the allowance for credit losses during 2011 relates to the recording of additional reserves as well as reclassifications of reserved receivable balances. The Company also records other receivables from various parties in the normal course of business, including amounts due from municipalities, insurance companies, and vendors. Such receivables are generally non-interest bearing and non-collateralized, payable either on demand or upon the occurrence of a specified event, and are generally reported in other assets. See Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale in Note 1 for a discussion of the Company’s receivables related to mortgage operations.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders (the “numerator”) by the weighted-average number of common shares, adjusted for non-vested shares of restricted stock (the “denominator”) for the period. Computing diluted earnings per share is similar to computing basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the dilutive effects of stock options, restricted stock units, and non-vested shares of restricted stock. Any stock options that have an exercise price greater than the average market price are considered to be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, all stock options, restricted stock units, and non-vested restricted stock were excluded from the calculation as they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss recorded during each period.

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Although the Company’s outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock units are considered participating securities, there were no earnings attributable to restricted shareholders during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

Land, not owned, under option agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company generally provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), if the entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), the Company’s deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, then the Company is required to consolidate the VIE.

In applying the provisions of ASC 810, the Company evaluates all land option agreements with VIEs to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company generally has little control or influence over the operations of these VIEs due to the Company’s lack of an equity interest in them. The VIE is generally protected from the first dollar of loss under the Company’s land option agreement due to the Company’s deposit. Likewise, the VIE’s gains are generally capped based on the purchase price within the land option agreement. Additionally, creditors of the VIE have no recourse against the Company, and the Company does not provide financial or other support to these VIEs other than as stipulated in the land option agreements. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is generally limited to the Company’s deposits and pre-acquisition costs under the applicable land option agreements. In recent years, the Company has canceled a significant number of land option agreements, which has resulted in significant write-offs of the related deposits and pre-acquisition costs but has not exposed the Company to the overall risks or losses of the applicable VIEs. No VIEs required consolidation under ASC 810 at either September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Additionally, the Company determined that certain land option agreements represent financing arrangements pursuant to ASC 470-40, “Accounting for Product Financing Arrangements” (“ASC 470-40”), even though the Company has no direct obligation to pay these future amounts. As a result, the Company recorded $25.4 million and $50.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to land, not owned, under option agreements with a corresponding increase to accrued and other liabilities. Such amounts represent the remaining purchase price under the land option agreements, some of which are with VIEs, in the event the Company exercises the purchase rights under the agreements.

The following provides a summary of the Company’s interests in land option agreements as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 ($000’s omitted):

	September 30, 2011						December 31, 2010
	Deposits and Pre- acquisition Costs		Total Purchase Price		Land, Not Owned, Under Option Agreements		Deposits and Pre- acquisition Costs		Total Purchase Price		Land, Not Owned, Under Option Agreements
Consolidated VIEs	$	9,046	$	32,834	$	20,681	$	41,813	$	51,773	$	42,401
Unconsolidated VIEs		25,077		297,880		—		10,280		202,214		—
Other land option agreements		22,952		466,201		4,741		42,970		455,481		8,380
	$	57,075	$	796,915	$	25,422	$	95,063	$	709,468	$	50,781

The above summary includes land option agreements consolidated under ASC 470-40 as well as all other land option agreements. The remaining purchase price (total purchase price less deposit) of all land option agreements totaled $760.4 million at September 30, 2011 and $670.5 million at December 31, 2010.

Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale

Substantially all of the loans originated by the Company are sold in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination. In accordance with ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” the Company has elected the fair value option for its portfolio loans available-for-sale. Election of the fair value option for residential mortgage loans available-for-sale allows a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company does not designate any derivative instruments as accounting hedges. Fair values for agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. Fair values for non-agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on purchase commitments from whole loan investors and other relevant market information available to management. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, residential mortgage loans available-for-sale had an aggregate fair value of $174.0 million and $176.2 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $166.5 million and $175.9 million, respectively. The net gain (loss) resulting from changes in fair value of residential mortgage loans available-for-sale totaled $0.8 million and $(0.9) million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $(0.6) million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was included in Financial Services revenues. These changes in fair value were mostly offset by changes in fair value of the corresponding hedging instruments. Net gains from the sale of mortgages were $16.1 million and $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $41.2 million and $50.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and have been included in Financial Services revenues.

Mortgage servicing rights

The Company sells its servicing rights monthly on a flow basis through fixed price servicing contracts. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue at the time of entering into an interest rate lock commitment with a borrower. Due to the short period of time the servicing rights are held, the Company does not amortize the servicing asset. The servicing sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of payments made by the purchaser if loans prepay within specified periods of time, generally within 90 to 120 days after sale. The Company establishes reserves for this liability at the time the sale is recorded. Such reserves totaled $0.4 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and are included in accrued and other liabilities. Servicing rights recognized in Financial Services revenues totaled $1.9 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $10.6 million and $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Company is exposed to market risks from commitments to lend, movements in interest rates, and cancelled or modified commitments to lend. A commitment to lend at a specific interest rate (an interest rate lock commitment) is a derivative financial instrument (interest rate is locked to the borrower). In order to reduce these risks, the Company uses other derivative financial instruments to economically hedge the interest rate lock commitment. These financial instruments include forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. The Company does not use any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company enters into one of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments upon entering into interest rate lock commitments. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate lock commitment and the other derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings and the fair value is reflected in other assets or other liabilities. The gains and losses are included in Financial Services revenues.

Fair values for interest rate lock commitments, including the value of servicing rights, are based on market prices for similar instruments. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had interest rate lock commitments in the amount of $209.0 million and $99.0 million, respectively, which were originated at interest rates prevailing at the date of commitment. Because the Company can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of these transactions through its normal credit policies.

1. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies (continued)

Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are commitments to either purchase or sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price and may be settled in cash, by offsetting the position, or through the delivery of the financial instrument. Whole loan investor commitments are obligations of the investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments used by the Company to minimize the market risk during the period from the time the Company extends an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is sold to an investor. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are valued based on market prices for similar instruments. Fair values for whole loan investor commitments are based on market prices for similar instruments from the specific whole loan investor. At September 30, 2011, the Company had unexpired forward contracts and whole loan investor commitments of $337.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, compared with cash forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments of $198.0 million and $59.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within the Company’s derivative agreements. Gains and losses on interest rate lock commitments are substantially offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. At September 30, 2011, the maximum length of time that the Company was exposed to the variability in future cash flows of derivative instruments was approximately 75 days.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and their location in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is summarized below ($000’s omitted):

New accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2011-04”), which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 to clarify existing guidance and minimize differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2011-04 requires entities to provide information about valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements and provide a narrative description of the sensitivity of Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Statement of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 will not impact the Company’s reported results of operations but will impact the Company’s financial statement presentation as the Company currently presents items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012.

2. Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the cost of acquired companies in excess of the fair value of the net assets at the acquisition date, is subject to annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recorded goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s reporting units based on the relative fair value of each acquired reporting unit. Management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying value of the Company’s reporting units to their fair value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flows, supplemented by market-based assessments of fair value. Impairment is measured as the difference between the resulting implied fair value of goodwill and its recorded carrying value. The determination of fair value is significantly impacted by estimates for each of the Company’s markets related to current valuations, current and future economic conditions, and the Company’s strategic plans. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process and significant volatility in demand for new housing, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.

The Company recorded $1.5 billion of goodwill in connection with the merger with Centex Corporation (“Centex”), which was completed in August 2009. All goodwill associated with prior transactions has been previously written-off. Since the Centex merger, the Company has recorded impairments at various times of the associated goodwill. These impairments have resulted from a variety of factors, including, among other things, deteriorations in market conditions, the Company’s operating results falling below previously forecasted levels, and a sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization since the Centex merger.

In the third quarters of both 2011 and 2010, the Company performed event-driven assessments of the recoverability of goodwill. These assessments were necessary primarily due to sustained declines in the Company’s market capitalization. In performing the goodwill impairment analyses, the Company followed similar approaches using management’s estimates of the future cash flows for each reporting unit, which are required to consider the decrease in the Company’s market capitalization. The results of these analyses determined that goodwill impairment charges of $240.5 million and $654.9 million in the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, were required. The Company also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 in conjunction with the completion of its business combination accounting for the Centex merger. Goodwill impairment charges are reflected in other expense (income), net.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of trademarks and tradenames acquired in connection with the 2009 acquisition of Centex and the 2001 acquisition of Del Webb. These intangible assets were valued at the respective acquisition dates and are being amortized over 20-year lives. The ultimate realization of these assets is dependent upon estimates of future earnings and benefits that the Company expects to generate from their use. In both the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, the Company performed event-driven assessments of the recoverability of these assets using projected undiscounted cash flows. In each instance, the Company determined that no impairment existed. However, if expectations of future results and cash flows decrease significantly or if our strategy related to the use of such intangible assets changes, the related intangible assets may be impaired.

3. Restructuring

The Company has taken a series of actions in recent years both in response to the challenging operating environment and in connection with the Centex merger that were designed to reduce ongoing operating costs and improve operating efficiencies. As a result of the combination of these actions, the Company incurred total restructuring charges as summarized below ($000’s omitted):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Employee severance benefits	$	663	$	7,444	$	9,195	$	12,275
Lease exit costs		101		7,113		6,401		9,767
Other		—		987		11		1,556
Total restructuring charges	$	764	$	15,544	$	15,607	$	23,598

Of the total restructuring costs reflected in the above table, $0.1 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, are included within Financial Services expenses. All other employee severance benefits are included within selling, general and administrative expenses while all other lease exit and other costs are included in other expense (income), net. The remaining liabilities for employee severance benefits and exited leases totaled $1.9 million and $34.0 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and $8.0 million and $41.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010. Substantially all of the employee severance benefits will be paid in 2011 while cash expenditures related to lease exit costs will be incurred over the remaining terms of the applicable leases, which generally extend several years. The restructuring costs relate to each of the Company’s reportable segments and were not material to any one segment.

4. Inventory and land held for sale

Major components of the Company’s inventory were as follows ($000’s omitted):

	September 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
Homes under construction	$	1,445,313	$	1,331,618
Land under development		2,582,854		2,541,829
Land held for future development		861,501		908,366
	$	4,889,668	$	4,781,813

The Company capitalizes interest cost into inventory during the active development and construction of the Company’s communities. Each layer of capitalized interest is amortized over a period that approximates the average life of communities under development. Interest expense is allocated over the period based on the cyclical timing of unit settlements. Interest expensed to Homebuilding cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of capitalized interest related to land and community valuation adjustments, compared with $7.6 million and $13.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company capitalized all of its Homebuilding interest costs into inventory because the level of the Company’s active inventory exceeded the Company’s debt levels. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company capitalized all of its Homebuilding interest costs into inventory except for $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, that was expensed directly to interest expense.

Information related to interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory is as follows ($000’s omitted):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Land valuation adjustments and write-offs

Land and community valuation adjustments

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), the Company records valuation adjustments on land inventory and related communities under development when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired and when the cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. Such indicators include gross margin or sales paces significantly below expectations, construction costs or land development costs significantly in excess of budgeted amounts, significant delays or changes in the planned development for the community, and other known qualitative factors. For communities that are not yet active, a significant additional consideration includes an evaluation of the probability, timing, and cost of obtaining necessary approvals from local municipalities and any potential concessions that may be necessary in order to obtain such approvals. The Company also considers potential changes to the product offerings in a community and any alternative strategies for the land, such as the sale of the land either in whole or in parcels. A portion of the Company’s land inventory and communities under development demonstrated potential impairment indicators during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and were accordingly tested for impairment. As required by ASC 360, the Company compared the expected undiscounted cash flows for these communities to their carrying value. For those communities whose carrying values exceeded the expected undiscounted cash flows, the Company calculated the fair value of the community in accordance with ASC 360. Impairment charges are required to be recorded if the fair value of the community’s inventory is less than its carrying value.

The Company determines the fair value of a community’s inventory primarily using a combination of market comparable land transactions, where available, and discounted cash flow models. These estimated cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to expected average selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, and overhead costs. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models are specific to each community tested for impairment and typically do not assume improvements in market conditions in the near term. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in demand for new housing, and the long life cycles of many communities, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates. The Company’s determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with each of the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each community’s fair value depends on the stage of development of the community and other specific factors that increase or decrease the inherent risks associated with the community’s cash flow streams. For example, communities that are entitled and near completion will generally require a lower discount rate than communities that are not entitled and consist of multiple phases spanning several years of development and construction activity.

The table below provides, as of the date indicated, the number of communities for which the Company recognized impairment charges, the fair value of those communities at such date (net of impairment charges), and the amount of impairment charges recognized ($ in millions):

	2011						2010

4. Inventory and land held for sale (continued)

The Company recorded these valuation adjustments within Homebuilding home sale cost of revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reviewed each of its land positions for potential impairment indicators and performed detailed impairment calculations for 15 communities. The average discount rate used in the Company’s determination of fair value for the impaired communities was 12%. During 2011, the Company has experienced relative stability in market conditions consistent with its expectations, which resulted in total valuation adjustments significantly below those experienced in recent years. However, if conditions in the homebuilding industry or the Company’s local markets worsen in the future, if the current difficult market conditions extend beyond the Company’s expectations, or if the Company’s strategy related to certain communities changes, the Company may be required to evaluate its assets, including additional projects, for future impairments or write-downs, which could result in future charges that might be significant.

Net realizable value adjustments – land held for sale

The Company acquires land primarily for the construction of homes for sale to customers but may periodically elect to sell select parcels of land to third parties for commercial or other development. Additionally, the Company may determine that certain of its land assets no longer fit into its strategic operating plans. Assuming the criteria in ASC 360 are met, the Company classifies any such land as land held for sale.

In accordance with ASC 360, the Company values land held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. In determining the fair value of land held for sale, the Company considers recent legitimate offers received, prices for land in recent comparable sales transactions, and other factors. Based on this review, a portion of the Company’s land held for sale has been written down to net realizable value. The Company recognized net realizable value adjustments (recoveries) of $0.1 million and $(0.1) million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company records these net realizable value adjustments within Homebuilding land sale cost of revenues.

The Company’s land held for sale was as follows ($000’s omitted):

	September 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
Land held for sale, gross	$	181,373		$	124,919

Land held for sale, net	$	134,563		$	71,055

Write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs

From time to time, the Company writes off certain deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts the Company no longer plans to pursue. Such decisions take into consideration changes in local market conditions, the willingness of land sellers to modify terms of the related purchase agreement, the timing of required land takedowns, the availability and best use of necessary incremental capital, and other factors. The Company wrote off (net of recoveries) deposits and pre-acquisition costs in the amount of $2.3 million and $6.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $1.1 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company records these write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs within other expense (income), net.

5. Segment information

The Company’s Homebuilding operating segments are engaged in the acquisition and development of land primarily for residential purposes within the continental United States and the construction of housing on such land. As part of its ongoing efforts to structure the Company for profitability in the face of challenging market conditions, the Company realigned its organizational structure during the second quarter of 2011, which reduced the number of reportable segments from four to three. The operating data by segment provided in this note have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Accordingly, the Company’s reportable Homebuilding segments are as follows:

East:	Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
Gulf Coast:	Florida, Texas
West:	Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Washington

The Company also has one reportable segment for its financial services operations, which consist of mortgage banking and title operations. The Company’s Financial Services segment operates generally in the same markets as the Company’s Homebuilding segments.

Evaluation of segment performance is based on operating earnings before provision for income taxes which, for the Homebuilding segments, is defined as home sale revenues and land sale revenues less home sale cost of revenues, land sale cost of revenues, and certain selling, general, and administrative and other expenses, plus equity income from unconsolidated entities, attributable to the Homebuilding segments. Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment is defined as revenues less costs associated with the Company’s mortgage and title operations and certain selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred by or allocated to the Financial Services segment. Each reportable segment generally follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

6.   Investments in unconsolidated entities

The Company participates in a number of joint ventures with independent third parties. These joint ventures generally purchase, develop, and/or sell land and homes in the United States or Puerto Rico. A summary of the Company’s joint ventures is presented below ($000’s omitted):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Investments in joint ventures with limited recourse guaranties	$	2	$	122
Investments in joint ventures with debt non-recourse to PulteGroup		11,519		11,486
Investments in other joint ventures		25,663		34,705
Total investments in unconsolidated entities	$	37,184	$	46,313
Total joint venture debt	$	11,671	$	15,467
PulteGroup’s proportionate share of joint venture debt:
Joint venture debt with limited recourse guaranties	$	1,257	$	1,444
Joint venture debt non-recourse to PulteGroup		2,178		3,696
PulteGroup’s total proportionate share of joint venture debt	$	3,435	$	5,140

The Company recognized income (expense) from its unconsolidated joint ventures of $(0.3) million and $2.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with $(3.7) million and $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, including impairments of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company made capital contributions of $3.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, to its joint ventures and received capital and earnings distributions of $9.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, from its joint ventures.

The timing of cash obligations under the joint venture and related financing agreements varies by agreement and in certain instances is contingent upon the joint venture’s sale of its land holdings. If additional capital contributions are required and approved, the Company would need to contribute its pro rata portion of those capital needs in order to not dilute its ownership in the joint ventures. While future capital contributions may be required, the Company believes the total amount of such contributions will be limited. The Company’s maximum financial loss exposure related to joint ventures is unlikely to exceed the combined investment and limited recourse guaranty totals.

A terminated joint venture financing agreement required the Company and other members of one joint venture to guaranty for the benefit of the lender the completion of the project if the joint venture did not perform the required development and an increment of interest in certain circumstances. This joint venture defaulted under its debt agreement, and the lender foreclosed on the joint venture’s property that served as collateral. During 2008, the lender also filed suit against the majority of the members of the joint venture, including the Company, in an effort to enforce the completion guaranty. In March 2011, the parties to this litigation executed a settlement agreement, and the Company paid its proportionate share of such settlement, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has investments in other unconsolidated entities, some of which have debt. These investments include the Company’s joint ventures in Puerto Rico, which are in a wind-down stage. The Company does not have any significant financing exposure related to these entities.

7.   Shareholders’ equity

Pursuant to the two $100 million stock repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors in October 2002 and 2005, and the $200 million stock repurchase program authorized in February 2006 (for a total stock repurchase authorization of $400 million), the Company has repurchased a total of 9,688,900 shares for a total of $297.7 million, though there have been no repurchases under these programs since 2006. The Company had remaining authorization to purchase $102.3 million of common stock at September 30, 2011.

Under its stock-based compensation plans, the Company accepts shares as payment under certain conditions related to stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock, generally related to the payment of minimum tax obligations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company repurchased $2.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of shares from employees under these plans. Such repurchases are excluded from the $400 million stock repurchase authorization.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows ($000’s omitted):

	$	(1,433	)	$	(1,519	)

8.   Income taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $(73.2) million and $(77.0) million, respectively, compared with $(28.7) million and $(112.8) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Due to the effects of the deferred tax valuation allowance and changes in unrecognized tax benefits, the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) is not directly correlated to the amount of pretax income (loss). The income tax expense (benefit) for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted primarily from the favorable resolution of certain federal and state income tax matters.

The Company had income taxes receivable of $79.4 million and $81.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which generally related to outstanding federal and state tax refunds from amended returns and net operating loss carrybacks.

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, which were offset entirely by valuation allowances due to the uncertainty of realizing such deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during future periods. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon an estimate of future results. Differences between the estimated and actual results could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. To the extent that the Company’s results of operations improve, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance may be reduced, which could result in a non-cash tax benefit.

8.   Income taxes (continued)

As a result of the Company’s merger with Centex, the Company’s ability to use certain of Centex’s pre-ownership net operating losses and built-in losses or deductions is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company’s Section 382 limitation is approximately $67.4 million per year for net operating losses, losses realized on built-in loss assets that are sold within 60 months of the ownership change, and certain deductions. The limitation may result in a significant portion of Centex’s pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards, built-in losses, and certain deductions not being available for use by the Company.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $181.1 million and $258.0 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits and $42.5 million and $48.4 million, respectively, of accrued penalties and interest. The decreases in unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties were primarily due to the favorable resolution of certain federal and state income tax matters. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS and various state taxing jurisdictions and anticipates finalizing certain of the examinations within the next twelve months. The final outcome of those examinations is not yet determinable. It is reasonably possible, within the next twelve months, that the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $35.2 million, excluding interest and penalties, primarily due to expirations of certain statutes of limitations and potential settlements. The statutes of limitations for the Company’s major tax jurisdictions remain open for examination for tax years 1998-2011.

9.   Fair value disclosures

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” provides a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:

Level 1 Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3 Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below ($000’s omitted):

			Fair Value
Financial Instrument	Fair Value Hierarchy		September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale		Level 2	$	173,956		$	176,164
Interest rate lock commitments		Level 2		7,153			2,692
Forward contracts		Level 2		(6,218	)		3,544
Whole loan commitments		Level 2		64			2,319

9. Fair value disclosures (continued)

In addition, certain of the Company’s assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are summarized below ($000’s omitted):

		Fair Value
	Fair Value Hierarchy	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Loans held for investment	Level 2	$	2,016	$	3,002
House and land inventory	Level 3		6,416		70,862

The fair values included in the table above represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value in the current quarter. The Company measured certain of its loans held for investment at fair value because the cost of the loans exceeded their fair value. Fair value of the loans was determined based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. For house and land inventory, see Note 4 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of the valuation method used.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents and restricted cash approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar issues. The fair value of the senior notes outstanding approximated $3.0 billion at September 30, 2011 and $3.2 billion at December 31, 2010. The carrying values of the senior notes are presented in Note 10. The carrying value of collateralized short-term debt approximates fair value.

10. Debt and other financing arrangements (continued)

Debt retirement

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company retired prior to their stated maturity dates $53.0 million of senior notes. Losses on these transactions totaled $3.5 million, including the write-off of unamortized discounts, premiums, and transaction fees, and are reflected in other expense (income), net.

Letter of credit facilities

As a cost-saving measure and to provide increased operational flexibility, the Company voluntarily terminated its $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility effective March 30, 2011. The credit facility was scheduled to expire in June 2012, had no borrowings outstanding, and was being used solely to issue letters of credit ($221.6 million outstanding at December 31, 2010). The Company did not pay any penalties as a result of the termination. The termination of the facility also:

• released the $250.0 million of cash required by the credit facility to be maintained in liquidity reserve accounts;

• released the Company from the credit facility’s covenant requirements, which included, among other things, a maximum debt to tangible capital ratio and a tangible net worth minimum; and

• resulted in expense of $1.3 million related to the write-off of unamortized issuance costs, which is included within selling, general, and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In connection with the termination of the credit facility, the Company entered into separate cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements with a number of financial institutions. These agreements provide capacity to issue letters of credit totaling up to $192.0 million, of which $89.4 million were outstanding at September 30, 2011. Under these agreements, the Company is required to maintain deposits with these financial institutions in amounts approximating the letters of credit outstanding. Such deposits are included in restricted cash.

The Company also maintains an unsecured letter of credit facility with a bank that expires in June 2014 and permits the issuance of up to $200.0 million of letters of credit by the Company. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $155.3 million and $167.2 million, respectively, of letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.

Financial Services

Pulte Mortgage provides mortgage financing for many of the Company’s home sales utilizing its own funds and borrowings made available pursuant to certain repurchase agreements. Pulte Mortgage uses these resources to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to third party investors, generally within 30 days. Given the Company’s current liquidity position and the cost of third party financing relative to existing mortgage rates, Pulte Mortgage allowed each of its third party borrowing arrangements to expire during 2010 and began funding its operations using internal Company resources.

11. Commitments and contingencies

Loan origination liabilities

The Company’s mortgage operations may be responsible for losses associated with mortgage loans originated and sold to investors in the event of errors or omissions relating to representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements, including representations as to underwriting standards, the existence of primary mortgage insurance, and the validity of certain borrower representations in connection with the loan. If determined to be at fault, the Company either repurchases the loans from the investors or reimburses the investors’ losses (a “make-whole” payment).

The Company sells a substantial majority of the loans it originates to investors each month, retaining limited risk related to such loans. Historically, the Company’s overall losses relating to this risk were not significant. Beginning in 2009, however, the Company experienced a significant increase in losses as a result of the high level of loan defaults and related losses in the mortgage industry and increasing aggressiveness by investors in presenting such claims to the Company. To date, the significant majority of these losses relates to loans originated in 2006 and 2007, during which period inherently riskier loan products became more common in the mortgage origination market. In 2006 and 2007, the Company originated $39.5 billion of loans, excluding loans originated by Centex’s former subprime loan business sold by Centex in 2006. Because the Company generally does not retain the servicing rights to the loans it originates, information regarding the current and historical performance, credit quality, and outstanding balances of such loans is limited. Estimating these loan origination liabilities is further complicated by uncertainties surrounding numerous external factors, such as various macroeconomic factors (including unemployment rates and changes in home prices) as well as actions taken by third parties, including the parties servicing the loans as well as the U.S. federal government in its dual capacity as regulator of the U.S. mortgage industry and conservator of the government-sponsored enterprises commonly known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or guarantee the majority of mortgage loans in the U.S.

Most requests received to date relate to make-whole payments on loans that have been foreclosed, generally after a portion of the loan principal had been paid down, which reduces the Company’s exposure. Requests not immediately refuted by the Company undergo extensive analysis to confirm the exposure, attempt to cure the identified defect, and, when necessary, determine the Company’s liability. The Company establishes liabilities for such anticipated losses based upon, among other things, the level of current unresolved repurchase requests, the volume of estimated probable future repurchase requests, the ability of the Company to cure the defects identified in the repurchase requests, and the severity of the estimated loss upon repurchase. Determining these estimates and the resulting liability requires a significant level of management judgment. The Company is generally able to cure or refute over 60% of the requests received from investors such that repurchases or make-whole payments are not required. For those requests requiring repurchases or make-whole payments, actual loss severities generally approximate 50% of the outstanding principal balance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company recorded additional provisions for losses as a change in estimate primarily to reflect projected claim volumes in excess of previous estimates. The Company’s current estimates assume that claim volumes will not decline to pre-2009 levels until after 2012. Given the volatility in the mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, it is reasonably possible that future losses may exceed the Company’s current estimates. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000’s omitted):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010

11. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

Additionally, while not increasing the Company’s exposure to Centex’s contingent loan origination liabilities, the Company entered into an agreement in conjunction with the wind down of Centex’s mortgage operations, which ceased loan origination activities in December 2009, that provides a guaranty for one major investor of loans originated by Centex. This guaranty provides that the Company will honor the potential repurchase obligations of Centex’s mortgage operations related to breaches of representations and warranties in the origination of a certain pool of loans. Other than with respect to this pool of loans, the Company’s contractual repurchase obligations are limited to the Company’s mortgage subsidiaries, which are included in non-guarantor subsidiaries relating to the Company’s senior notes (see Note 12 for a discussion of non-guarantor subsidiaries).

The mortgage subsidiary of Centex acted as a mortgage originator for loans sold to a bank for inclusion in residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBSs”) issued by the bank. In connection with these sales, Centex’s mortgage subsidiary entered into agreements pursuant to which it may be required to indemnify the bank for losses incurred by investors in the RMBSs arising out of material errors or omissions in certain information provided by the mortgage subsidiary relating to the loans and loan origination process. The bank has notified the Company that it has been named defendant in two lawsuits alleging various violations of federal and state securities laws asserting that untrue statements of material fact were included in the registration statements used to market the sale of two RMBS transactions which included $162 million of loans deposited by Centex’s mortgage subsidiary. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and/or rescissory damages on behalf of persons who purchased the securities. Neither Centex’s mortgage subsidiary nor the Company is named as a defendant in these actions. These actions are in their preliminary stage and the Company cannot yet quantify Centex’s mortgage subsidiary’s potential liability as a result of these indemnification obligations. The Company does not believe, however, that these matters will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company. The Company is aware of six other RMBS transactions that include an aggregate $116 million of loans, and the Company is not aware of any current or threatened legal proceedings regarding those transactions.

Community development and other special district obligations

A community development district or similar development authority (“CDD”) is a unit of local government created under various state statutes that utilizes the proceeds from the sale of bonds to finance the construction or acquisition of infrastructure assets of a development. A portion of the liability associated with the bonds, including principal and interest, is assigned to each parcel of land within the development. This debt is typically paid by subsequent special assessments levied by the CDD on the landowners. Generally, the Company is only responsible for paying the special assessments for the period in which it is the landowner of the applicable parcels. However, in certain limited instances the Company records a liability for future assessments that are fixed or determinable for a fixed or determinable period in accordance with ASC 970-470, “Real Estate Debt”. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had recorded $39.6 million and $73.3 million, respectively, in accrued liabilities for outstanding CDD obligations. During 2011, the Company voluntarily repurchased at a discount prior to their maturity CDD obligations with an aggregate principal balance of $26.6 million in order to improve the future financial performance of the related communities. The discount of $5.2 million will be recognized as a reduction of cost of revenues over the lives of the applicable communities, which extend for several years.

Letters of credit and surety bonds

In the normal course of business, the Company posts letters of credit and surety bonds pursuant to certain performance related obligations, as security for certain land option agreements, and under various insurance programs. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds totaling $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively.

In addition, the Company was previously subject to $817.4 million of surety bonds related to certain construction obligations of Centex’s commercial construction business, which was sold by Centex on March 30, 2007. The Company estimates that less than $66.0 million of work remained to be performed on such commercial construction projects as of June 30, 2011, the most recent date for which such information is available. The purchaser of the Centex commercial construction business had previously indemnified the Company against potential losses relating to such surety bond obligations, and the Company had purchased for its benefit a back-up indemnity provided by a financial institution as additional security. During 2011, the Company restructured this arrangement such that the Company is no longer directly subject to the surety bonds and is only contingently liable in the event of non-performance by the purchaser of the Centex commercial construction business and its parent company as well as exhaustion of a letter of credit in excess of the estimated amount of work remaining posted by the purchaser with the surety. Accordingly, the Company terminated the back-up indemnity as it believes the risk of this exposure becoming a cash obligation to the Company is not significant.

11. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

Litigation

The Company is involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of its business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. The Company is also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, the Company is subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations.

The Company establishes a liability for potential legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. The Company accrues for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revises these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, the Company generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing, or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the Company’s estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, the Company could incur additional charges that could be significant.

Allowance for warranties

Home purchasers are provided with a limited warranty against certain building defects, including a one-year comprehensive limited warranty as well as coverage for certain other aspects of the home’s construction and operating systems for periods of up to ten years. The Company estimates the costs to be incurred under these warranties and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that could affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and the cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts such amounts as necessary. Actual warranty costs in the future could differ from the current estimates.

Self-insured risks

The Company maintains, and requires the majority of its subcontractors to maintain, general liability insurance coverage. The Company also maintains builders’ risk, property, errors and omissions, workers compensation, and other business insurance coverage. These insurance policies protect the Company against a portion of the risk of loss from claims. However, the Company retains a significant portion of the overall risk for such claims either through policies issued by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiaries or through its own self-insured per occurrence and aggregate retentions, deductibles, and claims in excess of available insurance policy limits.

The Company’s general liability insurance includes coverage for certain construction defects. While construction defect claims can relate to a variety of circumstances, the majority of the Company’s claims relate to alleged problems with siding, plumbing, foundations and other concrete work, windows, roofing, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The availability of general liability insurance for the homebuilding industry and its subcontractors has become increasingly limited, and the insurance policies available require companies to maintain higher per occurrence and aggregate retention levels. In certain instances, the Company may offer its subcontractors the opportunity to purchase insurance through one of the Company’s captive insurance subsidiaries or to participate in a project-specific insurance program provided by the Company. Policies issued by the captive insurance subsidiaries represent self-insurance of these risks by the Company. This self-insured exposure is limited by reinsurance policies purchased by the Company. General liability coverage for the homebuilding industry is complex, and the Company’s coverage varies from policy year to policy year. The Company is self-insured for a per occurrence deductible, which is capped at an overall aggregate retention level. Beginning with the first dollar, amounts paid on insured claims satisfy the Company’s per occurrence and aggregate retention obligations. Any amounts incurred in excess of the occurrence or aggregate retention levels are covered by reinsurance up to the Company’s purchased coverage levels. The Company’s insurance policies, including the captive insurance subsidiaries’ reinsurance policies, are maintained with highly-rated underwriters for whom the Company believes counterparty default risk is not significant.

At any point in time, the Company is managing over 1,000 individual claims related to general liability, property, errors and omission, workers compensation, and other business insurance coverage. The Company generally reserves for costs associated with such claims (including expected claims management expenses relating to legal fees, expert fees, and claims handling expenses) based on actuarial analyses of the Company’s historical claims. The actuarial analyses calculate an estimate of the ultimate net cost of all unpaid losses. These estimates make up a significant portion of the Company’s liability and are subject to a high degree of uncertainty due to a variety of factors, including changes in claims reporting and resolution patterns, third party recoveries, insurance industry practices, the regulatory environment, and legal precedent. State regulations vary, but construction defect claims are reported and resolved over an extended period often exceeding ten years. In certain instances, the Company has the ability to recover a portion of its costs under various insurance policies or from its subcontractors or other third parties. Estimates of such amounts are recorded when recovery is considered probable.

The Company’s recorded reserves for all such claims totaled $793.6 million at September 30, 2011, substantially all of which relates to general liability claims. The recorded reserves include loss estimates related to both (i) existing claims and their related claim expenses and (ii) incurred but not reported claims and their related claim expenses. Liabilities related to incurred but not reported claims and their related claim expenses represented approximately 76% of the total general liability reserve at September 30, 2011. The actuarial analyses that determine the incurred but not reported portion of reserves consider a variety of factors, including the frequency and severity of losses, which are based on the Company’s historical claims experience supplemented by industry data. The actuarial analyses of the reserves also consider historical third party recovery rates and claims management expenses. As a result of the inherent uncertainty related to each of these factors, actual costs could differ significantly from estimated costs.

11. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Because the majority of the Company’s recorded reserves relates to incurred but not reported claims, adjustments to reserve amounts for individual existing claims generally do not impact the recorded reserves materially. However, changes in the frequency and timing of reported claims and the estimates of specific claim values can impact the underlying inputs and trends utilized in the actuarial analyses, which could have a material impact on the recorded reserves.

The Company has experienced a high level of insurance-related expenses in recent years, primarily due to the adverse development of general liability claims, the frequency and severity of which have increased significantly over historical levels. During 2010, the Company recorded additional expense to insurance reserves as a result of experiencing a greater than anticipated frequency of newly reported claims and a significant increase in specific case reserves related to certain known claims for homes closed in prior periods. The general nature of these claims was not out of the ordinary, but the frequency and severity of the claims were in excess of the Company’s historical experience. As a result of these unfavorable trends, the Company recorded additional expense to insurance reserves totaling $272.2 million ($0.72 per basic and diluted share) and $291.8 million ($0.77 per basic and diluted share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Substantially all of this additional expense related to general liability reserves. A large portion of this additional expense resulted from the Company revising its actuarial assumptions surrounding the long-term frequency, severity, and development of claims. During the industry downturn over the last several years, and especially in 2010, the Company experienced adverse claim frequency and severity compared with longer term averages. In the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company deemed it appropriate to assume that the long-term future frequency, severity, and development of claims will most closely resemble the claims activity experienced in recent years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Since early 2006, the U.S. housing market has been unfavorably impacted by a lack of consumer confidence, large supplies of housing inventories, and related pricing pressures, among other factors. These conditions, combined with significant foreclosure activity, a more challenging appraisal environment, higher than normal unemployment levels, and uncertainty in the U.S. economy, continue to contribute to weakened demand for new homes. As a result, we have experienced a loss before income taxes in each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2006. Such losses resulted from a combination of reduced operational profitability and significant asset impairments.

The U.S. housing market and broader economy remain in a period of uncertainty. While we have experienced some stabilization in certain of our local markets, homebuilding industry volumes remain at near historically low levels. This more stable environment has resulted in a significant reduction in the level of land-related charges recorded during 2011 compared with recent years. However, significant short-term uncertainty remains such that we are not anticipating a broad recovery in homebuilding in the near term. Factors that may further worsen market conditions or delay a recovery in the homebuilding industry include:

• High levels of unemployment, which are generally not expected to recede to historical levels during 2011, and associated low levels of consumer confidence;

• Continued high levels of foreclosure activity;

• Potentially higher mortgage interest rates, which might result from a variety of macroeconomic factors, as the historically low rates prevailing in recent periods are not believed to be sustainable for the long-term;

• Increased costs and standards related to FHA loans, which continue to be a significant source of customer financing;

• The overall impact of the federal government’s intervention in the U.S. economy; and

• Potential impacts of reforms to the overall U.S. financial services and mortgage industries that may have an adverse impact on the ability of our customers to finance their home purchases or on our access to the capital markets, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted into law on July 21, 2010, potential limitations on the mortgage interest income tax deduction, and the potential future restructurings of the government-sponsored enterprises commonly known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

We believe that improved employment levels and consumer confidence are necessary to unlock the pent-up demand that has built up in recent years. Accordingly, we continue to operate our business with the expectation that difficult market conditions will continue to impact us for at least the near term while also positioning ourselves to capitalize upon growth when industry conditions improve. While we are purchasing land positions where it makes strategic and economic sense to do so, the opportunity to purchase developed lots in premium locations has become more limited and competitive. We also continue to evaluate each existing land parcel to determine whether the strategy and economics support holding the parcel or disposing of it. We have closely evaluated and made significant reductions in employee headcount and overhead expenses since the beginning of the industry downturn, including a further consolidation of our field organization and select corporate functions during 2011. Due to the persistence of these difficult market conditions, improving the efficiency of our overhead costs will continue to be a significant area of focus. We are also adjusting the content in our homes to provide our customers more affordable alternatives and are building homes with smaller floor plans in certain of our communities.

Our outlook is cautious for the remainder of 2011 and into 2012 as the timing of a sustainable recovery in the homebuilding industry remains uncertain. In the long-term, we continue to believe that builders with strong land positions, broad geographic and product diversity, and access to lower-cost capital will benefit as market conditions recover. In the short-term, we expect that conditions will remain challenging and that certain of our local markets may continue to experience volatility. However, given the continued weakness in new home sales, our visibility as to future earnings performance is limited. Our evaluations for land-related charges recorded to date were based on our best estimates of the future cash flows for our communities. If conditions in the homebuilding industry or our local markets worsen in the future, or if our strategy related to certain communities changes, we may be required to evaluate our assets for further impairments or write-downs, which could result in future charges that might be significant.

Per share data—assuming dilution:
Net income (loss)	$	(0.34	)	$	(2.63	)	$	(0.59	)	$	(2.46	)

The following is a comparison of our loss before income taxes for 2011 and 2010:

• The losses experienced by Homebuilding included the following significant charges ($000’s omitted):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Land-related charges (see Note 5)	$	3,933	$	59,234	$	11,419	$	94,457
Goodwill impairments (see Note 2)		240,541		654,923		240,541		656,298
Restructuring costs (see Note 3)		709		13,804		14,478		20,359
Insurance reserve adjustments (see Note 11)		—		272,211		—		291,803
	$	245,183	$	1,000,172	$	266,438	$	1,062,917

For additional information on each of the above, see the applicable Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to the above charges, Homebuilding continued to experience low volumes during 2011. The revenue decline for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is due in part to the impact of a federal homebuyer tax credit that existed during the first half of 2010 as well as a lower active community count in 2011. The lower volume was partially offset by improved gross margins, lower selling, general, and administrative expenses, and lower impairment charges.

• Financial Services income for the third quarter of 2011 resulted from higher volumes combined with lower overhead costs compared with the third quarter of 2010. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted primarily from lower volumes and increased loss reserves related to loan origination liabilities. Such loss reserves totaled $19.3 million and $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

• Our Other non-operating loss improved compared with the prior year periods as the result of reduced overhead costs.

(a) Includes homebuilding interest expense, which represents the amortization of capitalized interest. Home sale cost of revenues also includes land and community valuation adjustments of $1.5 million and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $57.5 million and $87.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

(b) Includes net realizable value adjustments for land held for sale of $0.1 million and $(0.1) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

(c) Includes impairments of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

(d) Includes goodwill impairments totaling $240.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $654.9 million and $656.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Also includes the write off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs for land option contracts we no longer plan to pursue of $2.3 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $1.1 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

(e) During the first quarter of 2010, we revised our criteria for recognizing new orders to include the additional requirement of customer preliminary loan approval. This change resulted in a reduction of approximately 450 units and $110.0 million in our reported net new orders and backlog in the first quarter of 2010. We reversed this methodology in the fourth quarter of 2010 as the revised process was not providing a significant benefit for either our operations or our customers.

(f) Net new order dollars represent a composite of new order dollars combined with other movements of the dollars in backlog related to cancellations and change orders.

(g) SG&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes the adverse impact of insurance reserve adjustments totaling $272.2 million and $291.8 million, respectively.

Homebuilding Operations – Summary (continued)

The 7% increase in home sale revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the prior year period was due to a 9% increase in unit settlements offset by a 1% decrease in average selling price. The 15% decrease in home sale revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the prior year period was attributable to a 14% decrease in unit settlements combined with a 1% decrease in average selling price. The decline in unit settlements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the prior year period occurred in each of our Homebuilding segments and resulted primarily from the expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit that existed during 2010 for orders under contract by April 30 and closed by September 30. This tax credit favorably impacted new orders and unit settlements during the first half of 2010, in part we believe by pulling forward customer demand. The 4% decrease in our active communities also contributed to the lower unit settlements. The decrease in average selling prices was due to a decrease in the West as average selling prices increased in both the East and Gulf Coast compared with the prior year period. Changes in average selling price reflect a combination of factors but are primarily attributable to shifts in the product and geographic mix of homes closed during the periods together with adjusting the product offering in certain communities to better align with current market conditions.

Home sale gross margins were 13.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with 7.0% for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Homebuilding gross profit margins were 13.0% compared with 10.9% for the same period in 2010. Gross margins during 2011 benefited from lower land and community valuation adjustments, which totaled $1.5 million and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with $57.5 million and $87.5 million, during the respective prior year periods. The benefit of these lower charges was partially offset by increased amortization of capitalized interest relative to sales due to the incremental debt assumed with the Centex merger. Excluding the impact of land and community valuation adjustments, amortization of capitalized interest, and merger-related costs, home sale gross margins improved to 18.5% and 17.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 16.7% and 16.8% for the respective prior year periods (see the Non-GAAP Financial Measure section for a reconciliation of home sale gross profit margins, excluding land and community valuation adjustments, amortization of capitalized interest, and merger-related costs, to home sale gross profit margins). These improved gross margins continue the margin expansion we have seen in recent periods and reflect a combination of factors, including shifts in the product and geographic mix of homes closed, better alignment of our product offering with current market conditions, a shift in our sales strategy toward more “pre-selling” of homes, and our focus in recent periods on a variety of operational improvement initiatives.

We continue to evaluate our existing land positions to ensure the most effective use of capital. Land sale transactions and their related gains or losses vary between periods, depending on the timing of land sales. Land sales generated gains of $15.6 million and $17.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with gains of $1.1 million and $9.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

The gross dollar amount of our Homebuilding SG&A decreased 72% and 46% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, from the prior year periods. SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues was 10.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with 40.7% for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenues was 13.8% compared with 21.9% in the prior year period. The prior year periods reflect insurance reserve adjustments of $272.2 million and $291.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively (see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of these insurance reserve adjustments). SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenues excluding these insurance reserve adjustments was 14.1% and 13.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. (See the Non-GAAP Financial Measure section for a reconciliation of SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenue, excluding insurance reserve adjustments, to SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues). Excluding the insurance reserve adjustments from 2010, our SG&A declined significantly in gross dollars in 2011 and resulted in a significant improvement in overhead leverage during the three months ended September 30, 2011. This improved overhead leverage resulted from a combination of better matching our overall cost structure with the current business environment and lower severance and equity compensation expense in 2011. In order to further reduce overhead costs and drive greater leverage, we reconfigured our organization during the fourth quarter of 2010 and again in the second quarter of 2011, reducing the number of our operating areas from six to three and consolidating certain local divisions. Along with these changes in our field operations, we also further reduced corporate and support staffing across a number of functions to further consolidate and streamline our operating processes.

Homebuilding Operations – Summary (continued)

Equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was $(0.3) million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with $(3.6) million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The majority of our unconsolidated entities represent land development joint ventures, so the timing of income and losses can vary significantly between periods depending on the timing of specific transactions and circumstances specific to each entity.

Other income (expense), net totaled $(259.2) million and $(271.2) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with $(673.0) million and $(673.8) million for the comparable prior year periods. Other income (expense), net includes goodwill impairments totaling $240.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $654.9 million and $656.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively (see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these goodwill impairments). Other income (expense), net also includes the write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs resulting from decisions not to pursue certain land acquisitions. These write-offs vary in amount from period to period as we evaluate potential land acquisitions and totaled $2.3 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $6.6 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additionally, other income (expense), net includes certain lease exit costs and asset impairments related to the consolidation of various facilities. Such costs totaled $0.1 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with $6.7 million and $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Other income (expense), net also includes expense of $13.0 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to the net unfavorable resolution of certain contingencies and other miscellaneous income and expense items. Such items totaled expense of $7.0 million and income of $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Net new order levels were essentially flat for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the respective prior year periods. After adjusting for the change in policy referenced above in footnote (e) to the Homebuilding Operations summary, net new order units declined by 3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net new orders reflect the federal homebuyer tax credit that expired during 2010, which favorably impacted new orders during the first half of 2010, and the reduced number of active communities. At September 30, 2011 we had 761 active communities, a decrease of 4% from September 30, 2010. The cancellation rate (cancelled orders for the period divided by gross new orders for the period) for the third quarter of 2011 was slightly higher at 21%, compared with 19% for the same period in 2010. The cancellation rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was flat with the prior year period at 19%. Ending backlog, which represents orders for homes that have not yet closed, was 5,143 units with a dollar value of $1.4 billion at September 30, 2011, a decrease of 4% in units in backlog compared with September 30, 2010.

We had 6,763 and 6,284 homes in production at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, excluding 1,320 and 1,452 model homes, respectively. Included in our total homes in production were 2,886 and 3,494 homes that were unsold to customers (“spec homes”) at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, of which 1,318 and 1,856 homes, respectively, were completed (“final specs”). This reduction in spec homes reflects a shift in our sales strategy toward more “pre-selling” of homes by entering into customer contracts prior to beginning construction of the home. While spec homes will remain an important component of our overall sales strategy and will naturally occur as the result of customer cancellations, we have focused in 2011 on more closely managing the level of spec homes in production.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our Homebuilding operations controlled 140,889 and 147,194 lots, respectively. Of these controlled lots, 124,852 and 131,964 lots were owned and 9,701 and 10,082 lots were under option agreements approved for purchase at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, there were 6,336 lots and 5,148 lots under option agreements pending approval at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. While we are purchasing select land positions where it makes strategic and economic sense to do so, the reduction in lots resulting from unit settlements, land disposition activity, and withdrawals from land option contracts exceeded the number of lots added by new transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The total purchase price related to land under option for use by our Homebuilding operations at future dates totaled $796.9 million at September 30, 2011. These land option agreements, which may be cancelled at our discretion and may extend over several years, are secured by deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $57.1 million, of which $4.2 million is refundable. This balance excludes contingent payment obligations which may or may not become actual obligations to us.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains information about our home sale gross margins and Homebuilding selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) reflecting certain adjustments. These measures are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC’s rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measures as measures of our operating performance. Management and our local divisions use these measures 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 they are relevant and useful measures to investors for evaluating our performance through (1) gross profit generated on homes delivered during a given period and (2) the efficiency of our overhead cost structure 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 Homebuilding SG&A and any adjustments thereto before comparing our measures to that of such other companies.

The following tables set forth reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures that management believes to be most directly comparable ($000’s omitted):

Homebuilding Segment Operations (continued)

East:

For the third quarter of 2011, East home sale revenues increased 18% compared with the prior year period due to a 14% increase in unit settlements and 4% increase in the average selling price. Gross margin improved compared with the prior year period. The increased income before income taxes was primarily due to the increased revenues as well as lower land-related charges of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared with $5.9 million in the prior year period. The East was also unfavorably impacted by expense of $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 related to the write-down of a note receivable and the unfavorable resolution of certain contingencies. Net new order units decreased 3% due to decreases in our New England, Raleigh, and Tennessee divisions, offset in part by increased activity in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Corridor divisions. The cancellation rate was 18% and 16% in the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, East home sale revenues decreased 14% compared with the prior year period due to a 15% decrease in unit settlements offset in part by a 1% increase in the average selling price. Gross margin improved compared with the prior year period. The decreased income before income taxes was primarily due to the lower revenues partially offset by lower land-related charges, which totaled $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2011, compared with $6.6 million in the first nine months of 2010. Additionally, the East was also unfavorably impacted by expense of $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to the write-down of a note receivable and the unfavorable resolution of certain contingencies. Net new order units increased 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, led by our operations in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Corridor. The cancellation rate was 15% and 16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Gulf Coast:

For the third quarter of 2011, Gulf Coast home sale revenues increased 22% compared with the prior year period due to a 20% increase in unit settlements combined with a 2% increase in the average selling price. The increased income before income taxes in the third quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the increased revenues and lower land-related charges of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared with $21.2 million in the prior year period. Gross margin improved compared with the prior year period. Net new order units decreased by 3% due to decreases in our Dallas, Central Texas, and San Antonio divisions, offset in part by increases in our Florida and Houston divisions. The cancellation rate was 26% and 20% in the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Gulf Coast home sale revenues decreased 1% compared with the prior year period due to a 4% decrease in unit settlements partially offset by a 4% increase in the average selling price. The income before income taxes in the first nine months of 2011 was attributable to improved gross margins, and significantly lower land-related charges than in the prior year period. Land-related charges were $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $30.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net new order units increased by 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, in part due to grand openings or grand re-openings at several large communities in both Florida and Texas. The cancellation rate was 22% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

West:

For the third quarter of 2011, West home sale revenues decreased 10% compared with the prior year period due to a 6% decrease in unit settlements and a 5% decrease in average selling prices due to weakness in our California divisions combined with the close-out in late 2010 of our luxury condo community in Hawaii that had average selling prices in excess of $1 million. Gross margin, including land-related charges, increased over the prior year period, and excluding land-related charges, decreased slightly. The increased income before income taxes was primarily due to the decrease in land-related charges to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2011, from $24.6 million in the prior year period. The West also benefited in 2011 from land sale gains totaling $12.5 million; such items were not significant in 2010. Net new order units increased 6% in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily in our Michigan, Arizona, and Pacific Northwest divisions. The cancellation rate was 18% and 20% in the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, West home sale revenues decreased 25% compared with the prior year period due to a 22% decrease in unit settlements and a 4% decrease in average selling prices due to weakness in our California divisions combined with the close-out in late 2010 of our luxury condo community in Hawaii that had average selling prices in excess of $1 million. Gross margin, including land-related charges, increased over the prior year period, and excluding land-related charges, decreased slightly. The increased income before income taxes was primarily due to the decrease in land-related charges. Land-related charges totaled $5.2 million in the first nine months of 2011, compared with $42.1 million in the prior year period. The West also benefited from land sale gains totaling $12.9 million and $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net new order units decreased by 9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily in our California divisions. The sales volumes for our California divisions reflect the impact of the state homebuyer tax credit that existed in California during 2010. The expiration of this tax credit has exacerbated the already challenging local market conditions. The declines in California and other local markets were partially offset by improvements in Michigan and the Pacific Northwest. The cancellation rate was 17% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Financial Services Operations

We conduct our Financial Services operations, which include mortgage and title operations, through Pulte Mortgage and other subsidiaries. We originate mortgage loans using our own funds or borrowings made available through various credit arrangements, and then sell such mortgage loans monthly to outside investors. We sell the servicing rights for the loans we originate on a flow basis through fixed price servicing sales contracts. The following table presents selected financial information for our Financial Services segment ($000’s omitted):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Operating as a captive business model primarily targeted to supporting our Homebuilding operations, the operating results of our Financial Services operations are directly linked to Homebuilding. Since 2007, the mortgage industry experienced a significant shift away from subprime, Alt-A, and high loan-to-value loans brought about by investors’ reluctance to purchase these loans due to their perceived risk. This, among other things, has resulted in an overall tightening of lending standards and a shift toward agency production and fixed rate loans versus adjustable rate mortgages (“ARMs”).

49

Financial Services Operations (continued)

Our Homebuilding customers continue to account for substantially all loan production, representing 99% of loan originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Total Financial Services revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased 3% over the prior year period due to an 8% increase in loan origination volumes partially offset by lower interest income due to lower interest rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Financial Services revenues decreased 23% over the prior year period. The decrease was primarily the result of lower loan origination volumes resulting from lower Homebuilding volumes.

Agency production for funded originations was 99% of total loan originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Within the funded agency originations, FHA loans represented 33% and 32% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with 37% and 40% in the comparable prior year periods. The substantial majority of loan production in 2011 and 2010 consisted of fixed rate loans, the majority of which are prime, conforming loans. The shift toward agency fixed-rate loans has contributed to profitability as such loans generally result in higher profitability due to higher servicing values, less competition, and structured guidelines that allow for expense efficiencies when processing the loan.

Our capture rate, which represents loan originations from our Homebuilding operations as a percentage of total loan opportunities from our Homebuilding operations, excluding cash settlements, was 77% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Our customers’ average FICO scores were 745 and 747 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with 754 and 747 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011, our loan application backlog was $782.7 million, compared with $825.8 million at September 30, 2010.

The loss recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was largely attributable to loss reserves related to contingent loan origination liabilities (see below). Such loss reserves totaled $19.3 million and $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Excluding these losses, our Financial Services segment experienced reduced profitability during 2011, primarily as the result of the lower origination volumes.

Loan origination liabilities

Our mortgage operations may be responsible for losses associated with mortgage loans originated and sold to investors in the event of errors or omissions relating to representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements, including representations as to underwriting standards, the existence of primary mortgage insurance, and the validity of certain borrower representations in connection with the loan. If determined to be at fault, we either repurchase the loans from the investors or reimburse the investors’ losses (a “make-whole” payment).

We sell a substantial majority of the loans we originate to investors each month, retaining limited risk related to such loans. Historically, our overall losses relating to this risk were not significant. Beginning in 2009, however, we experienced a significant increase in losses as a result of the high level of loan defaults and related losses in the mortgage industry and increasing aggressiveness by investors in presenting such claims to us. To date, the significant majority of these losses relates to loans originated in 2006 and 2007, during which period inherently riskier loan products became more common in the mortgage origination market. In 2006 and 2007, we originated $39.5 billion of loans, excluding loans originated by Centex’s former subprime loan business sold by Centex in 2006. Because we generally do not retain the servicing rights to the loans we originate, information regarding the current and historical performance, credit quality, and outstanding balances of such loans is limited. Estimating these loan origination liabilities is further complicated by uncertainties surrounding numerous external factors, such as various macroeconomic factors (including unemployment rates and changes in home prices) as well as actions taken by third parties, including the parties servicing the loans as well as the U.S. federal government in its dual capacity as regulator of the U.S. mortgage industry and conservator of the government-sponsored enterprises commonly known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or guarantee the majority of mortgage loans in the U.S.

50

Financial Services Operations (continued)

Most requests received to date relate to make-whole payments on loans that have been foreclosed, generally after a portion of the loan principal had been paid down, which reduces our exposure. Requests not immediately refuted by us undergo extensive analysis to confirm the exposure, attempt to cure the identified defect, and, when necessary, determine our liability. We establish liabilities for such anticipated losses based upon, among other things, the level of current unresolved repurchase requests, the volume of estimated probable future repurchase requests, our ability to cure the defects identified in the repurchase requests, and the severity of the estimated loss upon repurchase. Determining these estimates and the resulting liability requires a significant level of management judgment. We are generally able to cure or refute over 60% of the requests received from investors such that repurchases or make-whole payments are not required. For those requests requiring repurchases or make-whole payments, actual loss severities generally approximate 50% of the outstanding principal balance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, we recorded additional provisions for losses as a change in estimate primarily to reflect projected claim volumes in excess of previous estimates. Our current estimates assume that claim volumes will not decline to pre-2009 levels until after 2012. Given the volatility in the mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, it is reasonably possible that future losses may exceed our current estimates. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000’s omitted):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Liabilities, beginning of period	$	97,836		$	103,238		$	93,057		$	105,914
Provision for losses		—			—			19,347			16,856
Settlements		(3,105	)		(3,988	)		(17,673	)		(23,520	)
Liabilities, end of period	$	94,731		$	99,250		$	94,731		$	99,250

Additionally, while not increasing our exposure to Centex’s contingent loan origination liabilities, we entered into an agreement in conjunction with the wind down of Centex’s mortgage operations, which ceased loan origination activities in December 2009, that provides a guaranty for one major investor of loans originated by Centex. This guaranty provides that we will honor the potential repurchase obligations of Centex’s mortgage operations related to breaches of representations and warranties in the origination of a certain pool of loans. Other than with respect to this pool of loans, our contractual repurchase obligations are limited to our mortgage subsidiaries, which are included in non-guarantor subsidiaries relating to our senior notes (see Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of non-guarantor subsidiaries).

The mortgage subsidiary of Centex acted as a mortgage originator for loans sold to a bank for inclusion in residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBSs”) issued by the bank. In connection with these sales, Centex’s mortgage subsidiary entered into agreements pursuant to which it may be required to indemnify the bank for losses incurred by investors in the RMBSs arising out of material errors or omissions in certain information provided by the mortgage subsidiary relating to the loans and loan origination process. The bank has notified us that it has been named defendant in two lawsuits alleging various violations of federal and state securities laws asserting that untrue statements of material fact were included in the registration statements used to market the sale of two RMBS transactions which included $162 million of loans deposited by Centex’s mortgage subsidiary. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and/or rescissory damages on behalf of persons who purchased the securities. Neither Centex’s mortgage subsidiary nor the Company is named as a defendant in these actions. These actions are in their preliminary stage and we cannot yet quantify Centex’s mortgage subsidiary’s potential liability as a result of these indemnification obligations. We do not believe, however, that these matters will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company. We are aware of six other RMBS transactions that include an aggregate $116 million of loans, and we are not aware of any current or threatened legal proceedings regarding those transactions.

Financial Services Operations (continued)

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

We are exposed to market risks from commitments to lend, movements in interest rates, and cancelled or modified commitments to lend. A commitment to lend at a specific interest rate (an interest rate lock commitment) is a derivative financial instrument (interest rate is locked to the borrower). In order to reduce these risks, we use other derivative financial instruments to economically hedge the interest rate lock commitment. These financial instruments include forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. We enter into one of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments upon accepting interest rate lock commitments. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate lock commitment and the other derivative financial instruments are included in Financial Services revenues. We do not use any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Other Non-Operating

Other non-operating expenses consist of income and expenses related to corporate services provided to our subsidiaries. These expenses are incurred for financing, developing and implementing strategic initiatives centered on new business development and operating efficiencies, and providing the necessary administrative support associated with being a publicly traded entity listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, these results will vary from period to period as these strategic initiatives and costs evolve. The following table summarizes our other non-operating expenses ($000’s omitted):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Net interest income	$	800		$	1,812		$	2,714		$	5,383
Selling, general, and administrative expenses		(4,500	)		(8,863	)		(17,292	)		(29,518	)
Other income (expense), net		—			—			(3,537	)		—
Income (loss) before income taxes	$	(3,700	)	$	(7,051	)	$	(18,115	)	$	(24,135	)

The decrease in net interest income in 2011 from 2010 resulted primarily from lower invested cash balances. The decline in selling, general, and administrative expenses in 2011 from 2010 resulted primarily from lower compensation costs and the elimination of fees associated with our previous revolving credit facility, which we terminated in March 2011. Other expense for 2011 includes a loss of $3.5 million related to the repurchase of $53.0 million of our senior notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Income Taxes

Our income tax assets and liabilities and related effective tax rate are affected by a number of factors, the most significant of which is the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Due to the effect of our valuation allowance, our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not meaningful as our income tax expense (benefit) is not directly correlated to the amount of our pretax income (loss). The income tax benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted primarily from the favorable resolution of certain federal and state income tax matters and changes in unrecognized tax benefits and related charges.

52

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our land acquisition, development, and construction activities by using internally-generated funds and existing credit arrangements. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate the use of available financing sources, including securities offerings. Based on our current financial condition and credit relationships, we believe that our operations and borrowing resources are sufficient to provide for our current and foreseeable capital requirements. However, we continue to evaluate the impact of market conditions on our liquidity and may determine that modifications are appropriate if market conditions deteriorate or if the current difficult market conditions extend beyond our expectations.

At September 30, 2011, we had cash and equivalents of $1.1 billion and $3.3 billion of senior notes outstanding. We also had restricted cash balances of $113.3 million, the substantial majority of which related to cash serving as collateral under certain letter of credit facilities. Other financing sources include limited recourse land-collateralized financing totaling $1.5 million and our various letter of credit facilities and surety bond arrangements. An additional source of liquidity during 2010 was the receipt of federal tax refunds, which resulted primarily from the carryback of taxable losses provided by the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009.

We follow a diversified investment approach for our cash and equivalents by maintaining such funds with a diversified portfolio of banks within our group of relationship banks in high quality, highly liquid, short-term investments, generally money market funds and federal government or agency securities. We monitor our investments with each bank and do not believe our cash and equivalents are exposed to any material risk of loss. However, there can be no assurances that losses of principal balance on our cash and equivalents will not occur.

Our ratio of debt to total capitalization, excluding our land-collateralized debt, was 63.4% at September 30, 2011, and 51.9% net of cash and equivalents, including restricted cash. While these debt-to-capital ratios remain above our desired targets, they are not likely to improve significantly until we return to consistent profitability.

We maintain an unsecured letter of credit facility expiring in June 2014 that permits the issuance of up to $200.0 million of letters of credit. At September 30, 2011, $155.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.

On March 25, 2011, we voluntarily terminated our $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The termination was effective March 30, 2011. The Credit Facility was scheduled to expire in June 2012, and we did not pay any penalties as a result of the early termination, although we did record a charge of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 related to unamortized issuance costs. The Credit Facility had no outstanding borrowings and was being used solely to issue letters of credit. We determined it would be more cost effective to enter into separate cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements, rather than continue to maintain the Credit Facility and expect to utilize such agreements in the future as well as the $200.0 million unsecured letter of credit facility discussed in the previous paragraph. The termination of the Credit Facility released $250.0 million of cash that we were required by the Credit Facility to maintain in liquidity reserve accounts. The termination of the Credit Facility also released the Company from the Credit Facility’s covenant requirements, which included, among other things, a maximum debt to tangible capital ratio and a tangible net worth minimum.

In connection with the termination of the Credit Facility, the Company entered into separate cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements with a number of financial institutions. These agreements provide capacity to issue letters of credit totaling up to $192.0 million, of which $89.4 million was outstanding at September 30, 2011. Under these agreements, the Company is required to maintain deposits with these financial institutions in amounts approximating the letters of credit outstanding. Such deposits are included in restricted cash.

Pulte Mortgage provides mortgage financing for many of our home sales and uses its own funds and borrowings made available pursuant to certain third party and intercompany borrowings. Pulte Mortgage uses these resources to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to third party investors, generally within 30 days. Given our current liquidity position and the cost of third party financing relative to existing mortgage rates, Pulte Mortgage allowed each of its third party borrowing arrangements to expire during 2010 and began funding its operations using internal Company resources. At September 30, 2011, we elected to fund $50.7 million of Pulte Mortgage’s financing needs via a repurchase agreement with the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

Pursuant to the two $100 million stock repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors in October 2002 and 2005, and the $200 million stock repurchase authorization in February 2006 (for a total stock repurchase authorization of $400 million), we have repurchased a total of 9,688,900 shares for a total of $297.7 million. There have been no repurchases under these programs since 2006. We had remaining authorization to purchase common stock aggregating $102.3 million at September 30, 2011.

In recent years, we have generated significant positive cash flow primarily through the liquidation of land inventory without a corresponding level of reinvestment combined with refunds of income taxes paid in prior years. We have used this positive cash flow to, among other things, increase our cash reserves as well as retire outstanding debt. We do not anticipate that we will generate positive cash flow at these same levels in the near future. Additionally, should growth conditions return to the homebuilding industry, we will need to invest incremental capital into our operations to support such growth.

Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $163.7 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $798.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Generally, the primary drivers of cash flow from operations are profitability and inventory levels. The net losses for both the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were largely the result of non-cash asset impairments and insurance reserve adjustments, so the cash flows from operations each period primarily relate to changes in working capital. Our negative cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of a net increase in inventories of $174.2 million related to investments in new and existing communities. Our positive cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily the result of income tax refunds, net of payments, of $884.6 million partially offset by a net increase in inventories of $65.6 million. Because we are using internal Company resources to finance Pulte Mortgage’s operations during 2011, the majority of cash flows related to Pulte Mortgage are now included in cash flows from operating activities, represented primarily by changes in the balance of residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. Previously, including in 2010, changes in the balance of residential mortgage loans available-for-sale were largely offset by changes in borrowings under Pulte Mortgage’s credit arrangements, which were included in cash flows from financing activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with net cash used by investing activities of $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to the $89.4 million of restricted cash we are now required to maintain related to our new letter of credit facilities, offset in part by increased proceeds from the sale of fixed assets related to the consolidation of certain facilities and a decrease in contributions to unconsolidated entities.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $70.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the retirement of $13.9 million of senior notes at their scheduled maturity date during the first quarter of 2011 and the retirement of $53.0 million of senior notes (which required the use of $55.4 million of cash) prior to their scheduled maturity dates during the second quarter of 2011. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $14.3 million, primarily as the result of the repayment of borrowings under our prior Financial Services credit arrangements. As discussed above, we are now using internal funds to finance Pulte Mortgage’s operations, the effects of which are reflected in cash flow from operating activities.

54

Inflation

We, and the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation because of higher land and construction costs. Inflation may also increase our financing, labor, and material costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on to our customers increases in our costs through increased sales prices, the current industry conditions have resulted in lower sales prices in many of our markets. If we are unable to raise sales prices enough to compensate for higher costs, or if mortgage interest rates increase significantly, affecting our prospective homebuyers’ ability to adequately finance home purchases, our revenues, gross margins, and net income would be adversely affected.

Seasonality

We experience variability in our quarterly results from operations due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. Historically, we have experienced significant increases in revenues and cash flow from operations during the fourth quarter based on the timing of home settlements. Under current market conditions, however, it is difficult to determine whether these seasonal trends will continue.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our “Contractual Obligations” contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $11.7 million and $15.5 million, respectively, of which our proportionate share of such joint venture debt was $3.4 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Of our proportionate share of joint venture debt, we provided limited recourse guaranties of $1.3 million for such joint venture debt at September 30, 2011 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2010. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with those contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Investments In Unconsolidated Entities

6.   Investments in unconsolidated entities

The Company participates in a number of joint ventures with independent third parties. These joint ventures generally purchase, develop, and/or sell land and homes in the United States or Puerto Rico. A summary of the Company's joint ventures is presented below ($000's omitted):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Investments in joint ventures with limited recourse guaranties	$	2	$	122
Investments in joint ventures with debt non-recourse to PulteGroup		11,519		11,486
Investments in other joint ventures		25,663		34,705
Total investments in unconsolidated entities	$	37,184	$	46,313
Total joint venture debt	$	11,671	$	15,467
PulteGroup's proportionate share of joint venture debt:
Joint venture debt with limited recourse guaranties	$	1,257	$	1,444
Joint venture debt non-recourse to PulteGroup		2,178		3,696
PulteGroup's total proportionate share of joint venture debt	$	3,435	$	5,140

The Company recognized income (expense) from its unconsolidated joint ventures of $(0.3) million and $2.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared with $(3.7) million and $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, including impairments of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company made capital contributions of $3.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, to its joint ventures and received capital and earnings distributions of $9.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, from its joint ventures.

The timing of cash obligations under the joint venture and related financing agreements varies by agreement and in certain instances is contingent upon the joint venture's sale of its land holdings. If additional capital contributions are required and approved, the Company would need to contribute its pro rata portion of those capital needs in order to not dilute its ownership in the joint ventures. While future capital contributions may be required, the Company believes the total amount of such contributions will be limited. The Company's maximum financial loss exposure related to joint ventures is unlikely to exceed the combined investment and limited recourse guaranty totals.

A terminated joint venture financing agreement required the Company and other members of one joint venture to guaranty for the benefit of the lender the completion of the project if the joint venture did not perform the required development and an increment of interest in certain circumstances. This joint venture defaulted under its debt agreement, and the lender foreclosed on the joint venture's property that served as collateral. During 2008, the lender also filed suit against the majority of the members of the joint venture, including the Company, in an effort to enforce the completion guaranty. In March 2011, the parties to this litigation executed a settlement agreement, and the Company paid its proportionate share of such settlement, which did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has investments in other unconsolidated entities, some of which have debt. These investments include the Company's joint ventures in Puerto Rico, which are in a wind-down stage. The Company does not have any significant financing exposure related to these entities.

Commitments And Contingencies

11. Commitments and contingencies

Loan origination liabilities

The Company's mortgage operations may be responsible for losses associated with mortgage loans originated and sold to investors in the event of errors or omissions relating to representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements, including representations as to underwriting standards, the existence of primary mortgage insurance, and the validity of certain borrower representations in connection with the loan. If determined to be at fault, the Company either repurchases the loans from the investors or reimburses the investors' losses (a "make-whole" payment).

The Company sells a substantial majority of the loans it originates to investors each month, retaining limited risk related to such loans. Historically, the Company's overall losses relating to this risk were not significant. Beginning in 2009, however, the Company experienced a significant increase in losses as a result of the high level of loan defaults and related losses in the mortgage industry and increasing aggressiveness by investors in presenting such claims to the Company. To date, the significant majority of these losses relates to loans originated in 2006 and 2007, during which period inherently riskier loan products became more common in the mortgage origination market. In 2006 and 2007, the Company originated $39.5 billion of loans, excluding loans originated by Centex's former subprime loan business sold by Centex in 2006. Because the Company generally does not retain the servicing rights to the loans it originates, information regarding the current and historical performance, credit quality, and outstanding balances of such loans is limited. Estimating these loan origination liabilities is further complicated by uncertainties surrounding numerous external factors, such as various macroeconomic factors (including unemployment rates and changes in home prices) as well as actions taken by third parties, including the parties servicing the loans as well as the U.S. federal government in its dual capacity as regulator of the U.S. mortgage industry and conservator of the government-sponsored enterprises commonly known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or guarantee the majority of mortgage loans in the U.S.

Most requests received to date relate to make-whole payments on loans that have been foreclosed, generally after a portion of the loan principal had been paid down, which reduces the Company's exposure. Requests not immediately refuted by the Company undergo extensive analysis to confirm the exposure, attempt to cure the identified defect, and, when necessary, determine the Company's liability. The Company establishes liabilities for such anticipated losses based upon, among other things, the level of current unresolved repurchase requests, the volume of estimated probable future repurchase requests, the ability of the Company to cure the defects identified in the repurchase requests, and the severity of the estimated loss upon repurchase. Determining these estimates and the resulting liability requires a significant level of management judgment. The Company is generally able to cure or refute over 60% of the requests received from investors such that repurchases or make-whole payments are not required. For those requests requiring repurchases or make-whole payments, actual loss severities generally approximate 50% of the outstanding principal balance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company recorded additional provisions for losses as a change in estimate primarily to reflect projected claim volumes in excess of previous estimates. The Company's current estimates assume that claim volumes will not decline to pre-2009 levels until after 2012. Given the volatility in the mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, it is reasonably possible that future losses may exceed the Company's current estimates. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Liabilities, beginning of period	$	97,836		$	103,238		$	93,057		$	105,914

Additionally, while not increasing the Company's exposure to Centex's contingent loan origination liabilities, the Company entered into an agreement in conjunction with the wind down of Centex's mortgage operations, which ceased loan origination activities in December 2009, that provides a guaranty for one major investor of loans originated by Centex. This guaranty provides that the Company will honor the potential repurchase obligations of Centex's mortgage operations related to breaches of representations and warranties in the origination of a certain pool of loans. Other than with respect to this pool of loans, the Company's contractual repurchase obligations are limited to the Company's mortgage subsidiaries, which are included in non-guarantor subsidiaries relating to the Company's senior notes (see Note 12 for a discussion of non-guarantor subsidiaries).

The mortgage subsidiary of Centex acted as a mortgage originator for loans sold to a bank for inclusion in residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBSs") issued by the bank. In connection with these sales, Centex's mortgage subsidiary entered into agreements pursuant to which it may be required to indemnify the bank for losses incurred by investors in the RMBSs arising out of material errors or omissions in certain information provided by the mortgage subsidiary relating to the loans and loan origination process. The bank has notified the Company that it has been named defendant in two lawsuits alleging various violations of federal and state securities laws asserting that untrue statements of material fact were included in the registration statements used to market the sale of two RMBS transactions which included $162 million of loans deposited by Centex's mortgage subsidiary. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and/or rescissory damages on behalf of persons who purchased the securities. Neither Centex's mortgage subsidiary nor the Company is named as a defendant in these actions. These actions are in their preliminary stage and the Company cannot yet quantify Centex's mortgage subsidiary's potential liability as a result of these indemnification obligations. The Company does not believe, however, that these matters will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company. The Company is aware of six other RMBS transactions that include an aggregate $116 million of loans, and the Company is not aware of any current or threatened legal proceedings regarding those transactions.

Community development and other special district obligations

A community development district or similar development authority ("CDD") is a unit of local government created under various state statutes that utilizes the proceeds from the sale of bonds to finance the construction or acquisition of infrastructure assets of a development. A portion of the liability associated with the bonds, including principal and interest, is assigned to each parcel of land within the development. This debt is typically paid by subsequent special assessments levied by the CDD on the landowners. Generally, the Company is only responsible for paying the special assessments for the period in which it is the landowner of the applicable parcels. However, in certain limited instances the Company records a liability for future assessments that are fixed or determinable for a fixed or determinable period in accordance with ASC 970-470, "Real Estate Debt". At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had recorded $39.6 million and $73.3 million, respectively, in accrued liabilities for outstanding CDD obligations. During 2011, the Company voluntarily repurchased at a discount prior to their maturity CDD obligations with an aggregate principal balance of $26.6 million in order to improve the future financial performance of the related communities. The discount of $5.2 million will be recognized as a reduction of cost of revenues over the lives of the applicable communities, which extend for several years.

Letters of credit and surety bonds

In the normal course of business, the Company posts letters of credit and surety bonds pursuant to certain performance related obligations, as security for certain land option agreements, and under various insurance programs. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds totaling $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively.

In addition, the Company was previously subject to $817.4 million of surety bonds related to certain construction obligations of Centex's commercial construction business, which was sold by Centex on March 30, 2007. The Company estimates that less than $66.0 million of work remained to be performed on such commercial construction projects as of June 30, 2011, the most recent date for which such information is available. The purchaser of the Centex commercial construction business had previously indemnified the Company against potential losses relating to such surety bond obligations, and the Company had purchased for its benefit a back-up indemnity provided by a financial institution as additional security. During 2011, the Company restructured this arrangement such that the Company is no longer directly subject to the surety bonds and is only contingently liable in the event of non-performance by the purchaser of the Centex commercial construction business and its parent company as well as exhaustion of a letter of credit in excess of the estimated amount of work remaining posted by the purchaser with the surety. Accordingly, the Company terminated the back-up indemnity as it believes the risk of this exposure becoming a cash obligation to the Company is not significant.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of its business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. The Company is also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, the Company is subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations.

The Company establishes a liability for potential legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable.The Company accrues for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revises these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, the Company generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing, or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the Company's estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, the Company could incur additional charges that could be significant.

Allowance for warranties

Home purchasers are provided with a limited warranty against certain building defects, including a one-year comprehensive limited warranty as well as coverage for certain other aspects of the home's construction and operating systems for periods of up to ten years. The Company estimates the costs to be incurred under these warranties and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that could affect the Company's warranty liability include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and the cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts such amounts as necessary. Actual warranty costs in the future could differ from the current estimates. Changes to the Company's warranty liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Warranty liabilities, end of period	$	68,847		$	80,670		$	68,847		$	80,670

Self-insured risks

The Company maintains, and requires the majority of its subcontractors to maintain, general liability insurance coverage. The Company also maintains builders' risk, property, errors and omissions, workers compensation, and other business insurance coverage. These insurance policies protect the Company against a portion of the risk of loss from claims. However, the Company retains a significant portion of the overall risk for such claims either through policies issued by the Company's captive insurance subsidiaries or through its own self-insured per occurrence and aggregate retentions, deductibles, and claims in excess of available insurance policy limits.

The Company's general liability insurance includes coverage for certain construction defects. While construction defect claims can relate to a variety of circumstances, the majority of the Company's claims relate to alleged problems with siding, plumbing, foundations and other concrete work, windows, roofing, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The availability of general liability insurance for the homebuilding industry and its subcontractors has become increasingly limited, and the insurance policies available require companies to maintain higher per occurrence and aggregate retention levels. In certain instances, the Company may offer its subcontractors the opportunity to purchase insurance through one of the Company's captive insurance subsidiaries or to participate in a project-specific insurance program provided by the Company. Policies issued by the captive insurance subsidiaries represent self-insurance of these risks by the Company. This self-insured exposure is limited by reinsurance policies purchased by the Company. General liability coverage for the homebuilding industry is complex, and the Company's coverage varies from policy year to policy year. The Company is self-insured for a per occurrence deductible, which is capped at an overall aggregate retention level. Beginning with the first dollar, amounts paid on insured claims satisfy the Company's per occurrence and aggregate retention obligations. Any amounts incurred in excess of the occurrence or aggregate retention levels are covered by reinsurance up to the Company's purchased coverage levels. The Company's insurance policies, including the captive insurance subsidiaries' reinsurance policies, are maintained with highly-rated underwriters for whom the Company believes counterparty default risk is not significant.

At any point in time, the Company is managing over 1,000 individual claims related to general liability, property, errors and omission, workers compensation, and other business insurance coverage. The Company generally reserves for costs associated with such claims (including expected claims management expenses relating to legal fees, expert fees, and claims handling expenses) based on actuarial analyses of the Company's historical claims. The actuarial analyses calculate an estimate of the ultimate net cost of all unpaid losses. These estimates make up a significant portion of the Company's liability and are subject to a high degree of uncertainty due to a variety of factors, including changes in claims reporting and resolution patterns, third party recoveries, insurance industry practices, the regulatory environment, and legal precedent. State regulations vary, but construction defect claims are reported and resolved over an extended period often exceeding ten years. In certain instances, the Company has the ability to recover a portion of its costs under various insurance policies or from its subcontractors or other third parties. Estimates of such amounts are recorded when recovery is considered probable.

The Company's recorded reserves for all such claims totaled $793.6 million at September 30, 2011, substantially all of which relates to general liability claims. The recorded reserves include loss estimates related to both (i) existing claims and their related claim expenses and (ii) incurred but not reported claims and their related claim expenses. Liabilities related to incurred but not reported claims and their related claim expenses represented approximately 76% of the total general liability reserve at September 30, 2011. The actuarial analyses that determine the incurred but not reported portion of reserves consider a variety of factors, including the frequency and severity of losses, which are based on the Company's historical claims experience supplemented by industry data. The actuarial analyses of the reserves also consider historical third party recovery rates and claims management expenses. As a result of the inherent uncertainty related to each of these factors, actual costs could differ significantly from estimated costs.

Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Because the majority of the Company's recorded reserves relates to incurred but not reported claims, adjustments to reserve amounts for individual existing claims generally do not impact the recorded reserves materially. However, changes in the frequency and timing of reported claims and the estimates of specific claim values can impact the underlying inputs and trends utilized in the actuarial analyses, which could have a material impact on the recorded reserves.

The Company has experienced a high level of insurance-related expenses in recent years, primarily due to the adverse development of general liability claims, the frequency and severity of which have increased significantly over historical levels. During 2010, the Company recorded additional expense to insurance reserves as a result of experiencing a greater than anticipated frequency of newly reported claims and a significant increase in specific case reserves related to certain known claims for homes closed in prior periods. The general nature of these claims was not out of the ordinary, but the frequency and severity of the claims were in excess of the Company's historical experience. As a result of these unfavorable trends, the Company recorded additional expense to insurance reserves totaling $272.2 million ($0.72 per basic and diluted share) and $291.8 million ($0.77 per basic and diluted share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Substantially all of this additional expense related to general liability reserves. A large portion of this additional expense resulted from the Company revising its actuarial assumptions surrounding the long-term frequency, severity, and development of claims. During the industry downturn over the last several years, and especially in 2010, the Company experienced adverse claim frequency and severity compared with longer term averages. In the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company deemed it appropriate to assume that the long-term future frequency, severity, and development of claims will most closely resemble the claims activity experienced in recent years.

Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

Goodwill And Intangible Assets

2. Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the cost of acquired companies in excess of the fair value of the net assets at the acquisition date, is subject to annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recorded goodwill has been allocated to the Company's reporting units based on the relative fair value of each acquired reporting unit. Management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying value of the Company's reporting units to their fair value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flows, supplemented by market-based assessments of fair value. Impairment is measured as the difference between the resulting implied fair value of goodwill and its recorded carrying value. The determination of fair value is significantly impacted by estimates for each of the Company's markets related to current valuations, current and future economic conditions, and the Company's strategic plans. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process and significant volatility in demand for new housing, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.

The Company recorded $1.5 billion of goodwill in connection with the merger with Centex Corporation ("Centex"), which was completed in August 2009. All goodwill associated with prior transactions has been previously written-off. Since the Centex merger, the Company has recorded impairments at various times of the associated goodwill. These impairments have resulted from a variety of factors, including, among other things, deteriorations in market conditions, the Company's operating results falling below previously forecasted levels, and a sustained decline in the Company's market capitalization since the Centex merger.

In the third quarters of both 2011 and 2010, the Company performed event-driven assessments of the recoverability of goodwill. These assessments were necessary primarily due to sustained declines in the Company's market capitalization. In performing the goodwill impairment analyses, the Company followed similar approaches using management's estimates of the future cash flows for each reporting unit, which are required to consider the decrease in the Company's market capitalization. The results of these analyses determined that goodwill impairment charges of $240.5 million and $654.9 million in the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, were required. The Company also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 in conjunction with the completion of its business combination accounting for the Centex merger. Goodwill impairment charges are reflected in other expense (income), net.

The following summarizes the change in goodwill during 2011 ($000's omitted):

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of trademarks and tradenames acquired in connection with the 2009 acquisition of Centex and the 2001 acquisition of Del Webb. These intangible assets were valued at the respective acquisition dates and are being amortized over 20-year lives. The ultimate realization of these assets is dependent upon estimates of future earnings and benefits that the Company expects to generate from their use. In both the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, the Company performed event-driven assessments of the recoverability of these assets using projected undiscounted cash flows. In each instance, the Company determined that no impairment existed. However, if expectations of future results and cash flows decrease significantly or if our strategy related to the use of such intangible assets changes, the related intangible assets may be impaired.

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

8.   Income taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $(73.2) million and $(77.0) million, respectively, compared with $(28.7) million and $(112.8) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Due to the effects of the deferred tax valuation allowance and changes in unrecognized tax benefits, the Company's income tax expense (benefit) is not directly correlated to the amount of pretax income (loss). The income tax expense (benefit) for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted primarily from the favorable resolution of certain federal and state income tax matters.

The Company had income taxes receivable of $79.4 million and $81.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which generally related to outstanding federal and state tax refunds from amended returns and net operating loss carrybacks.

In accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes," the Company evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, which were offset entirely by valuation allowances due to the uncertainty of realizing such deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during future periods. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon an estimate of future results. Differences between the estimated and actual results could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. To the extent that the Company's results of operations improve, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance may be reduced, which could result in a non-cash tax benefit.

As a result of the Company's merger with Centex, the Company's ability to use certain of Centex's pre-ownership net operating losses and built-in losses or deductions is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's Section 382 limitation is approximately $67.4 million per year for net operating losses, losses realized on built-in loss assets that are sold within 60 months of the ownership change, and certain deductions. The limitation may result in a significant portion of Centex's pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards, built-in losses, and certain deductions not being available for use by the Company.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $181.1 million and $258.0 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits and $42.5 million and $48.4 million, respectively, of accrued penalties and interest. The decreases in unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties were primarily due to the favorable resolution of certain federal and state income tax matters. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS and various state taxing jurisdictions and anticipates finalizing certain of the examinations within the next twelve months. The final outcome of those examinations is not yet determinable. It is reasonably possible, within the next twelve months, that the Company's unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $35.2 million, excluding interest and penalties, primarily due to expirations of certain statutes of limitations and potential settlements. The statutes of limitations for the Company's major tax jurisdictions remain open for examination for tax years 1998-2011.

Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation

Basis of presentation

PulteGroup, Inc. ("PulteGroup") is a publicly-held holding company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "PHM". The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PulteGroup and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") and variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. While the Company's subsidiaries engage primarily in the homebuilding business, the Company also has mortgage banking operations, conducted principally through Pulte Mortgage LLC ("Pulte Mortgage"), and title operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Use Of Estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events

The Company evaluated subsequent events up until the time the financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash

The Company maintains certain cash balances that are restricted as to their use. Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits maintained with financial institutions under certain cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements (see Note 10). The remaining balances relate to certain other accounts with restrictions, including customer deposits on home sales that are temporarily restricted by regulatory requirements until title transfers to the homebuyer.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable

In certain instances, the Company may accept consideration for land sales or other transactions in the form of a note receivable. The counterparties for these transactions are generally land developers or other strategic investors. The Company considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty when evaluating the relative risk and return involved in pursuing the applicable transaction. Due to the unique facts and circumstances surrounding each receivable, the Company actively monitors each individual receivable separately and assesses the need for an allowance for each receivable on an individual basis. Factors considered as part of this assessment include the counterparty's payment history, the value of any underlying collateral, communications with the counterparty, knowledge of the counterparty's financial condition and plans, and the current and expected economic environment. Allowances are recorded in other expense (income), net when it becomes likely that some amount will not be collectible. Such receivables are reported net of allowance for credit losses within other assets. Notes receivable are written off when it is determined that collection efforts will no longer be pursued. Interest income is recognized as earned. The following represents the Company's notes receivable and related allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 ($000's omitted):

	September 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
Notes receivable, gross	$	77,968		$	77,853
Allowance for credit losses		(40,960	)		(20,877	)
Notes receivable, net	$	37,008		$	56,976

The increase in the allowance for credit losses during 2011 relates to the recording of additional reserves as well as reclassifications of reserved receivable balances. The Company also records other receivables from various parties in the normal course of business, including amounts due from municipalities, insurance companies, and vendors. Such receivables are generally non-interest bearing and non-collateralized, payable either on demand or upon the occurrence of a specified event, and are generally reported in other assets. See Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale in Note 1 for a discussion of the Company's receivables related to mortgage operations.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders (the "numerator") by the weighted-average number of common shares, adjusted for non-vested shares of restricted stock (the "denominator") for the period. Computing diluted earnings per share is similar to computing basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the dilutive effects of stock options, restricted stock units, and non-vested shares of restricted stock. Any stock options that have an exercise price greater than the average market price are considered to be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, all stock options, restricted stock units, and non-vested restricted stock were excluded from the calculation as they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss recorded during each period.

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Although the Company's outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock units are considered participating securities, there were no earnings attributable to restricted shareholders during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

Land, Not Owned, Under Option Agreements

Land, not owned, under option agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company generally provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation" ("ASC 810"), if the entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), the Company's deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, then the Company is required to consolidate the VIE.

In applying the provisions of ASC 810, the Company evaluates all land option agreements with VIEs to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company generally has little control or influence over the operations of these VIEs due to the Company's lack of an equity interest in them. The VIE is generally protected from the first dollar of loss under the Company's land option agreement due to the Company's deposit. Likewise, the VIE's gains are generally capped based on the purchase price within the land option agreement. Additionally, creditors of the VIE have no recourse against the Company, and the Company does not provide financial or other support to these VIEs other than as stipulated in the land option agreements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is generally limited to the Company's deposits and pre-acquisition costs under the applicable land option agreements. In recent years, the Company has canceled a significant number of land option agreements, which has resulted in significant write-offs of the related deposits and pre-acquisition costs but has not exposed the Company to the overall risks or losses of the applicable VIEs. No VIEs required consolidation under ASC 810 at either September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Additionally, the Company determined that certain land option agreements represent financing arrangements pursuant to ASC 470-40, "Accounting for Product Financing Arrangements" ("ASC 470-40"), even though the Company has no direct obligation to pay these future amounts. As a result, the Company recorded $25.4 million and $50.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to land, not owned, under option agreements with a corresponding increase to accrued and other liabilities. Such amounts represent the remaining purchase price under the land option agreements, some of which are with VIEs, in the event the Company exercises the purchase rights under the agreements.

Residential Mortgage Loans Available For Sale

Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale

Substantially all of the loans originated by the Company are sold in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination. In accordance with ASC 825, "Financial Instruments," the Company has elected the fair value option for its portfolio loans available-for-sale. Election of the fair value option for residential mortgage loans available-for-sale allows a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company does not designate any derivative instruments as accounting hedges. Fair values for agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. Fair values for non-agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on purchase commitments from whole loan investors and other relevant market information available to management. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, residential mortgage loans available-for-sale had an aggregate fair value of $174.0 million and $176.2 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $166.5 million and $175.9 million, respectively. The net gain (loss) resulting from changes in fair value of residential mortgage loans available-for-sale totaled $0.8 million and $(0.9) million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $(0.6) million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was included in Financial Services revenues. These changes in fair value were mostly offset by changes in fair value of the corresponding hedging instruments. Net gains from the sale of mortgages were $16.1 million and $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $41.2 million and $50.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and have been included in Financial Services revenues.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights

The Company sells its servicing rights monthly on a flow basis through fixed price servicing contracts. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue at the time of entering into an interest rate lock commitment with a borrower. Due to the short period of time the servicing rights are held, the Company does not amortize the servicing asset. The servicing sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of payments made by the purchaser if loans prepay within specified periods of time, generally within 90 to 120 days after sale. The Company establishes reserves for this liability at the time the sale is recorded. Such reserves totaled $0.4 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and are included in accrued and other liabilities. Servicing rights recognized in Financial Services revenues totaled $1.9 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $10.6 million and $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Company is exposed to market risks from commitments to lend, movements in interest rates, and cancelled or modified commitments to lend. A commitment to lend at a specific interest rate (an interest rate lock commitment) is a derivative financial instrument (interest rate is locked to the borrower). In order to reduce these risks, the Company uses other derivative financial instruments to economically hedge the interest rate lock commitment. These financial instruments include forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. The Company does not use any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company enters into one of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments upon entering into interest rate lock commitments. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate lock commitment and the other derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings and the fair value is reflected in other assets or other liabilities. The gains and losses are included in Financial Services revenues.

Fair values for interest rate lock commitments, including the value of servicing rights, are based on market prices for similar instruments. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had interest rate lock commitments in the amount of $209.0 million and $99.0 million, respectively, which were originated at interest rates prevailing at the date of commitment. Because the Company can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of these transactions through its normal credit policies.

Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are commitments to either purchase or sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price and may be settled in cash, by offsetting the position, or through the delivery of the financial instrument. Whole loan investor commitments are obligations of the investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments used by the Company to minimize the market risk during the period from the time the Company extends an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is sold to an investor. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are valued based on market prices for similar instruments. Fair values for whole loan investor commitments are based on market prices for similar instruments from the specific whole loan investor. At September 30, 2011, the Company had unexpired forward contracts and whole loan investor commitments of $337.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, compared with cash forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments of $198.0 million and $59.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within the Company's derivative agreements. Gains and losses on interest rate lock commitments are substantially offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. At September 30, 2011, the maximum length of time that the Company was exposed to the variability in future cash flows of derivative instruments was approximately 75 days.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures

9.   Fair value disclosures

ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," provides a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:

Level 1 Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3 Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

The Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below ($000's omitted):

			Fair Value
Financial Instrument	Fair Value Hierarchy		September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale		Level 2	$	173,956		$	176,164
Interest rate lock commitments		Level 2		7,153			2,692
Forward contracts		Level 2		(6,218	)		3,544
Whole loan commitments		Level 2		64			2,319

See Note 1 of these Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the fair value of mortgage loans available-for-sale and derivative instruments and hedging activities.

In addition, certain of the Company's assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are summarized below ($000's omitted):

		Fair Value
	Fair Value Hierarchy	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Loans held for investment	Level 2	$	2,016	$	3,002
House and land inventory	Level 3		6,416		70,862

The fair values included in the table above represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value in the current quarter. The Company measured certain of its loans held for investment at fair value because the cost of the loans exceeded their fair value. Fair value of the loans was determined based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. For house and land inventory, see Note 4 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of the valuation method used.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents and restricted cash approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar issues. The fair value of the senior notes outstanding approximated $3.0 billion at September 30, 2011 and $3.2 billion at December 31, 2010. The carrying values of the senior notes are presented in Note 10. The carrying value of collateralized short-term debt approximates fair value.

3. Restructuring

The Company has taken a series of actions in recent years both in response to the challenging operating environment and in connection with the Centex merger that were designed to reduce ongoing operating costs and improve operating efficiencies. As a result of the combination of these actions, the Company incurred total restructuring charges as summarized below ($000's omitted):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Total restructuring charges	$	764	$	15,544	$	15,607	$	23,598

Of the total restructuring costs reflected in the above table, $0.1 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, are included within Financial Services expenses. All other employee severance benefits are included within selling, general and administrative expenses while all other lease exit and other costs are included in other expense (income), net. The remaining liabilities for employee severance benefits and exited leases totaled $1.9 million and $34.0 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and $8.0 million and $41.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010. Substantially all of the employee severance benefits will be paid in 2011 while cash expenditures related to lease exit costs will be incurred over the remaining terms of the applicable leases, which generally extend several years. The restructuring costs relate to each of the Company's reportable segments and were not material to any one segment.

Inventory And Land Held For Sale

4. Inventory and land held for sale

Major components of the Company's inventory were as follows ($000's omitted):

	September 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
Homes under construction	$	1,445,313	$	1,331,618
Land under development		2,582,854		2,541,829
Land held for future development		861,501		908,366
	$	4,889,668	$	4,781,813

The Company capitalizes interest cost into inventory during the active development and construction of the Company's communities. Each layer of capitalized interest is amortized over a period that approximates the average life of communities under development. Interest expense is allocated over the period based on the cyclical timing of unit settlements.Interest expensed to Homebuilding cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of capitalized interest related to land and community valuation adjustments, compared with $7.6 million and $13.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company capitalized all of its Homebuilding interest costs into inventory because the level of the Company's active inventory exceeded the Company's debt levels. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company capitalized all of its Homebuilding interest costs into inventory except for $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, that was expensed directly to interest expense.

Information related to interest capitalized into homebuilding inventory is as follows ($000's omitted):

Land valuation adjustments and write-offs

Land and community valuation adjustments

In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" ("ASC 360"), the Company records valuation adjustments on land inventory and related communities under development when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired and when the cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. Such indicators include gross margin or sales paces significantly below expectations, construction costs or land development costs significantly in excess of budgeted amounts, significant delays or changes in the planned development for the community, and other known qualitative factors. For communities that are not yet active, a significant additional consideration includes an evaluation of the probability, timing, and cost of obtaining necessary approvals from local municipalities and any potential concessions that may be necessary in order to obtain such approvals. The Company also considers potential changes to the product offerings in a community and any alternative strategies for the land, such as the sale of the land either in whole or in parcels. A portion of the Company's land inventory and communities under development demonstrated potential impairment indicators during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and were accordingly tested for impairment. As required by ASC 360, the Company compared the expected undiscounted cash flows for these communities to their carrying value. For those communities whose carrying values exceeded the expected undiscounted cash flows, the Company calculated the fair value of the community in accordance with ASC 360. Impairment charges are required to be recorded if the fair value of the community's inventory is less than its carrying value.

The Company determines the fair value of a community's inventory primarily using a combination of market comparable land transactions, where available, and discounted cash flow models. These estimated cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to expected average selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, and overhead costs. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models are specific to each community tested for impairment and typically do not assume improvements in market conditions in the near term. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in demand for new housing, and the long life cycles of many communities, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates. The Company's determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with each of the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each community's fair value depends on the stage of development of the community and other specific factors that increase or decrease the inherent risks associated with the community's cash flow streams. For example, communities that are entitled and near completion will generally require a lower discount rate than communities that are not entitled and consist of multiple phases spanning several years of development and construction activity.

The table below provides, as of the date indicated, the number of communities for which the Company recognized impairment charges, the fair value of those communities at such date (net of impairment charges), and the amount of impairment charges recognized ($ in millions):

	2011						2010
Quarter Ended	Number of Communities Impaired		Fair Value of Communities Impaired, Net of Impairment Charges		Impairment Charges		Number of Communities Impaired		Fair Value of Communities Impaired, Net of Impairment Charges		Impairment Charges
March 31		1	$	0.5	$	0.1		10	$	7.2	$	4.5
June 30		6		6.7		3.3		16		35.1		25.6
September 30		3		6.4		1.5		28		33.4		57.4
					$	4.9					$	87.5

The Company recorded these valuation adjustments within Homebuilding home sale cost of revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reviewed each of its land positions for potential impairment indicators and performed detailed impairment calculations for 15 communities. The average discount rate used in the Company's determination of fair value for the impaired communities was 12%. During 2011, the Company has experienced relative stability in market conditions consistent with its expectations, which resulted in total valuation adjustments significantly below those experienced in recent years. However, if conditions in the homebuilding industry or the Company's local markets worsen in the future, if the current difficult market conditions extend beyond the Company's expectations, or if the Company's strategy related to certain communities changes, the Company may be required to evaluate its assets, including additional projects, for future impairments or write-downs, which could result in future charges that might be significant.

Net realizable value adjustments – land held for sale

The Company acquires land primarily for the construction of homes for sale to customers but may periodically elect to sell select parcels of land to third parties for commercial or other development. Additionally, the Company may determine that certain of its land assets no longer fit into its strategic operating plans. Assuming the criteria in ASC 360 are met, the Company classifies any such land as land held for sale.

In accordance with ASC 360, the Company values land held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. In determining the fair value of land held for sale, the Company considers recent legitimate offers received, prices for land in recent comparable sales transactions, and other factors. Based on this review, a portion of the Company's land held for sale has been written down to net realizable value. The Company recognized net realizable value adjustments (recoveries) of $0.1 million and $(0.1) million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company records these net realizable value adjustments within Homebuilding land sale cost of revenues.

The Company's land held for sale was as follows ($000's omitted):

	September 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
Land held for sale, gross	$	181,373		$	124,919
Net realizable value reserves		(46,810	)		(53,864	)
Land held for sale, net	$	134,563		$	71,055

Write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs

From time to time, the Company writes off certain deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts the Company no longer plans to pursue.Such decisions take into consideration changes in local market conditions, the willingness of land sellers to modify terms of the related purchase agreement, the timing of required land takedowns, the availability and best use of necessary incremental capital, and other factors. The Company wrote off (net of recoveries) deposits and pre-acquisition costs in the amount of $2.3 million and $6.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $1.1 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company records these write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs within other expense (income), net.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

12. Supplemental Guarantor information

All of the Company's senior notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by each of the Company's wholly-owned Homebuilding subsidiaries and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors"). Such guaranties are full and unconditional. Supplemental consolidating financial information of the Company, including such information for the Guarantors, is presented below. Investments in subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of accounting. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not provided as the consolidating financial information contained herein provides a more meaningful disclosure to allow investors to determine the nature of the assets held by, and the operations of, the combined groups.

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

5. Segment information

The Company's Homebuilding operating segments are engaged in the acquisition and development of land primarily for residential purposes within the continental United States and the construction of housing on such land. As part of its ongoing efforts to structure the Company for profitability in the face of challenging market conditions, the Company realigned its organizational structure during the second quarter of 2011, which reduced the number of reportable segments from four to three. The operating data by segment provided in this note have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Accordingly, the Company's reportable Homebuilding segments are as follows:

East:	Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
Gulf Coast:	Florida, Texas
West:	Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Washington

The Company also has one reportable segment for its financial services operations, which consist of mortgage banking and title operations. The Company's Financial Services segment operates generally in the same markets as the Company's Homebuilding segments.

Evaluation of segment performance is based on operating earnings before provision for income taxes which, for the Homebuilding segments, is defined as home sale revenues and land sale revenues less home sale cost of revenues, land sale cost of revenues, and certain selling, general, and administrative and other expenses, plus equity income from unconsolidated entities, attributable to the Homebuilding segments. Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment is defined as revenues less costs associated with the Company's mortgage and title operations and certain selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred by or allocated to the Financial Services segment. Each reportable segment generally follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Inventory And Land Held For Sale (Policy)

Inventory And Land Held For Sale [Abstract]

Capitalized Interest Policy

The Company capitalizes interest cost into inventory during the active development and construction of the Company's communities. Each layer of capitalized interest is amortized over a period that approximates the average life of communities under development. Interest expense is allocated over the period based on the cyclical timing of unit settlements.

Land And Community Valuation Adjustments

Land and community valuation adjustments

In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" ("ASC 360"), the Company records valuation adjustments on land inventory and related communities under development when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired and when the cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. Such indicators include gross margin or sales paces significantly below expectations, construction costs or land development costs significantly in excess of budgeted amounts, significant delays or changes in the planned development for the community, and other known qualitative factors. For communities that are not yet active, a significant additional consideration includes an evaluation of the probability, timing, and cost of obtaining necessary approvals from local municipalities and any potential concessions that may be necessary in order to obtain such approvals. The Company also considers potential changes to the product offerings in a community and any alternative strategies for the land, such as the sale of the land either in whole or in parcels. A portion of the Company's land inventory and communities under development demonstrated potential impairment indicators during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and were accordingly tested for impairment. As required by ASC 360, the Company compared the expected undiscounted cash flows for these communities to their carrying value. For those communities whose carrying values exceeded the expected undiscounted cash flows, the Company calculated the fair value of the community in accordance with ASC 360. Impairment charges are required to be recorded if the fair value of the community's inventory is less than its carrying value.

The Company determines the fair value of a community's inventory primarily using a combination of market comparable land transactions, where available, and discounted cash flow models. These estimated cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to expected average selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, and overhead costs. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models are specific to each community tested for impairment and typically do not assume improvements in market conditions in the near term. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in demand for new housing, and the long life cycles of many communities, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates. The Company's determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with each of the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each community's fair value depends on the stage of development of the community and other specific factors that increase or decrease the inherent risks associated with the community's cash flow streams. For example, communities that are entitled and near completion will generally require a lower discount rate than communities that are not entitled and consist of multiple phases spanning several years of development and construction activity.

Net Realizable Value Adjustments - Land Held For Sale

Net realizable value adjustments – land held for sale

The Company acquires land primarily for the construction of homes for sale to customers but may periodically elect to sell select parcels of land to third parties for commercial or other development. Additionally, the Company may determine that certain of its land assets no longer fit into its strategic operating plans. Assuming the criteria in ASC 360 are met, the Company classifies any such land as land held for sale.

In accordance with ASC 360, the Company values land held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. In determining the fair value of land held for sale, the Company considers recent legitimate offers received, prices for land in recent comparable sales transactions, and other factors. Based on this review, a portion of the Company's land held for sale has been written down to net realizable value. The Company recognized net realizable value adjustments (recoveries) of $0.1 million and $(0.1) million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company records these net realizable value adjustments within Homebuilding land sale cost of revenues.

Write-Offs Of Deposits And Pre-Acquisition Costs

Write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs

From time to time, the Company writes off certain deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts the Company no longer plans to pursue.Such decisions take into consideration changes in local market conditions, the willingness of land sellers to modify terms of the related purchase agreement, the timing of required land takedowns, the availability and best use of necessary incremental capital, and other factors. The Company wrote off (net of recoveries) deposits and pre-acquisition costs in the amount of $2.3 million and $6.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $1.1 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company records these write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs within other expense (income), net.

Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Subsequent events

The Company evaluated subsequent events up until the time the financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

(a) Excludes lease exit and related costs classified within Financial Services expenses.

Restricted cash

The Company maintains certain cash balances that are restricted as to their use. Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits maintained with financial institutions under certain cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements (see Note 10). The remaining balances relate to certain other accounts with restrictions, including customer deposits on home sales that are temporarily restricted by regulatory requirements until title transfers to the homebuyer.

Notes receivable

In certain instances, the Company may accept consideration for land sales or other transactions in the form of a note receivable. The counterparties for these transactions are generally land developers or other strategic investors. The Company considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty when evaluating the relative risk and return involved in pursuing the applicable transaction. Due to the unique facts and circumstances surrounding each receivable, the Company actively monitors each individual receivable separately and assesses the need for an allowance for each receivable on an individual basis. Factors considered as part of this assessment include the counterparty's payment history, the value of any underlying collateral, communications with the counterparty, knowledge of the counterparty's financial condition and plans, and the current and expected economic environment. Allowances are recorded in other expense (income), net when it becomes likely that some amount will not be collectible. Such receivables are reported net of allowance for credit losses within other assets. Notes receivable are written off when it is determined that collection efforts will no longer be pursued. Interest income is recognized as earned. The following represents the Company's notes receivable and related allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 ($000's omitted):

	September 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
Notes receivable, gross	$	77,968		$	77,853
Allowance for credit losses		(40,960	)		(20,877	)
Notes receivable, net	$	37,008		$	56,976

The increase in the allowance for credit losses during 2011 relates to the recording of additional reserves as well as reclassifications of reserved receivable balances. The Company also records other receivables from various parties in the normal course of business, including amounts due from municipalities, insurance companies, and vendors. Such receivables are generally non-interest bearing and non-collateralized, payable either on demand or upon the occurrence of a specified event, and are generally reported in other assets. See Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale in Note 1 for a discussion of the Company's receivables related to mortgage operations.

 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders (the "numerator") by the weighted-average number of common shares, adjusted for non-vested shares of restricted stock (the "denominator") for the period. Computing diluted earnings per share is similar to computing basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the dilutive effects of stock options, restricted stock units, and non-vested shares of restricted stock. Any stock options that have an exercise price greater than the average market price are considered to be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, all stock options, restricted stock units, and non-vested restricted stock were excluded from the calculation as they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss recorded during each period.

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Although the Company's outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock units are considered participating securities, there were no earnings attributable to restricted shareholders during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

Land, not owned, under option agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company generally provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation" ("ASC 810"), if the entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), the Company's deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, then the Company is required to consolidate the VIE.

In applying the provisions of ASC 810, the Company evaluates all land option agreements with VIEs to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company generally has little control or influence over the operations of these VIEs due to the Company's lack of an equity interest in them. The VIE is generally protected from the first dollar of loss under the Company's land option agreement due to the Company's deposit. Likewise, the VIE's gains are generally capped based on the purchase price within the land option agreement. Additionally, creditors of the VIE have no recourse against the Company, and the Company does not provide financial or other support to these VIEs other than as stipulated in the land option agreements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is generally limited to the Company's deposits and pre-acquisition costs under the applicable land option agreements. In recent years, the Company has canceled a significant number of land option agreements, which has resulted in significant write-offs of the related deposits and pre-acquisition costs but has not exposed the Company to the overall risks or losses of the applicable VIEs. No VIEs required consolidation under ASC 810 at either September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Additionally, the Company determined that certain land option agreements represent financing arrangements pursuant to ASC 470-40, "Accounting for Product Financing Arrangements" ("ASC 470-40"), even though the Company has no direct obligation to pay these future amounts. As a result, the Company recorded $25.4 million and $50.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to land, not owned, under option agreements with a corresponding increase to accrued and other liabilities. Such amounts represent the remaining purchase price under the land option agreements, some of which are with VIEs, in the event the Company exercises the purchase rights under the agreements.

The following provides a summary of the Company's interests in land option agreements as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 ($000's omitted):

	September 30, 2011						December 31, 2010
	Deposits and Pre- acquisition Costs		Total Purchase Price		Land, Not Owned, Under Option Agreements		Deposits and Pre- acquisition Costs		Total Purchase Price		Land, Not Owned, Under Option Agreements
Consolidated VIEs	$	9,046	$	32,834	$	20,681	$	41,813	$	51,773	$	42,401
Unconsolidated VIEs		25,077		297,880		—		10,280		202,214		—

	$	57,075	$	796,915	$	25,422	$	95,063	$	709,468	$	50,781

The above summary includes land option agreements consolidated under ASC 470-40 as well as all other land option agreements. The remaining purchase price (total purchase price less deposit) of all land option agreements totaled $760.4 million at September 30, 2011 and $670.5 million at December 31, 2010.

Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale

Substantially all of the loans originated by the Company are sold in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination. In accordance with ASC 825, "Financial Instruments," the Company has elected the fair value option for its portfolio loans available-for-sale. Election of the fair value option for residential mortgage loans available-for-sale allows a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company does not designate any derivative instruments as accounting hedges. Fair values for agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. Fair values for non-agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on purchase commitments from whole loan investors and other relevant market information available to management. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, residential mortgage loans available-for-sale had an aggregate fair value of $174.0 million and $176.2 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $166.5 million and $175.9 million, respectively. The net gain (loss) resulting from changes in fair value of residential mortgage loans available-for-sale totaled $0.8 million and $(0.9) million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $(0.6) million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was included in Financial Services revenues. These changes in fair value were mostly offset by changes in fair value of the corresponding hedging instruments. Net gains from the sale of mortgages were $16.1 million and $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $41.2 million and $50.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and have been included in Financial Services revenues.

Mortgage servicing rights

The Company sells its servicing rights monthly on a flow basis through fixed price servicing contracts. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue at the time of entering into an interest rate lock commitment with a borrower. Due to the short period of time the servicing rights are held, the Company does not amortize the servicing asset. The servicing sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of payments made by the purchaser if loans prepay within specified periods of time, generally within 90 to 120 days after sale. The Company establishes reserves for this liability at the time the sale is recorded. Such reserves totaled $0.4 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and are included in accrued and other liabilities. Servicing rights recognized in Financial Services revenues totaled $1.9 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $10.6 million and $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Company is exposed to market risks from commitments to lend, movements in interest rates, and cancelled or modified commitments to lend. A commitment to lend at a specific interest rate (an interest rate lock commitment) is a derivative financial instrument (interest rate is locked to the borrower). In order to reduce these risks, the Company uses other derivative financial instruments to economically hedge the interest rate lock commitment. These financial instruments include forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. The Company does not use any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company enters into one of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments upon entering into interest rate lock commitments. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate lock commitment and the other derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings and the fair value is reflected in other assets or other liabilities. The gains and losses are included in Financial Services revenues.

Fair values for interest rate lock commitments, including the value of servicing rights, are based on market prices for similar instruments. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had interest rate lock commitments in the amount of $209.0 million and $99.0 million, respectively, which were originated at interest rates prevailing at the date of commitment. Because the Company can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of these transactions through its normal credit policies.

Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are commitments to either purchase or sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price and may be settled in cash, by offsetting the position, or through the delivery of the financial instrument. Whole loan investor commitments are obligations of the investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments used by the Company to minimize the market risk during the period from the time the Company extends an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is sold to an investor. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are valued based on market prices for similar instruments. Fair values for whole loan investor commitments are based on market prices for similar instruments from the specific whole loan investor. At September 30, 2011, the Company had unexpired forward contracts and whole loan investor commitments of $337.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, compared with cash forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments of $198.0 million and $59.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within the Company's derivative agreements. Gains and losses on interest rate lock commitments are substantially offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. At September 30, 2011, the maximum length of time that the Company was exposed to the variability in future cash flows of derivative instruments was approximately 75 days.

           The fair value of the Company's derivative instruments and their location in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is summarized below ($000's omitted):

	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Other Assets		Other Liabilities		Other Assets		Other Liabilities
Interest rate lock commitments	$	7,157	$	4	$	2,756	$	64
Forward contracts		167		6,385		4,217		673

New accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2011-04"), which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 to clarify existing guidance and minimize differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2011-04 requires entities to provide information about valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements and provide a narrative description of the sensitivity of Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, "Statement of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"), which requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 will not impact the Company's reported results of operations but will impact the Company's financial statement presentation as the Company currently presents items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company retired prior to their stated maturity dates $53.0 million of senior notes. Losses on these transactions totaled $3.5 million, including the write-off of unamortized discounts, premiums, and transaction fees, and are reflected in other expense (income), net.

Letter of credit facilities

As a cost-saving measure and to provide increased operational flexibility, the Company voluntarily terminated its $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility effective March 30, 2011. The credit facility was scheduled to expire in June 2012, had no borrowings outstanding, and was being used solely to issue letters of credit ($221.6 million outstanding at December 31, 2010). The Company did not pay any penalties as a result of the termination. The termination of the facility also:

• released the $250.0 million of cash required by the credit facility to be maintained in liquidity reserve accounts;

• released the Company from the credit facility's covenant requirements, which included, among other things, a maximum debt to tangible capital ratio and a tangible net worth minimum; and

• resulted in expense of $1.3 million related to the write-off of unamortized issuance costs, which is included within selling, general, and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In connection with the termination of the credit facility, the Company entered into separate cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements with a number of financial institutions. These agreements provide capacity to issue letters of credit totaling up to $192.0 million, of which $89.4 million were outstanding at September 30, 2011. Under these agreements, the Company is required to maintain deposits with these financial institutions in amounts approximating the letters of credit outstanding. Such deposits are included in restricted cash.

The Company also maintains an unsecured letter of credit facility with a bank that expires in June 2014 and permits the issuance of up to $200.0 million of letters of credit by the Company. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $155.3 million and $167.2 million, respectively, of letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.

Financial Services

Pulte Mortgage provides mortgage financing for many of the Company's home sales utilizing its own funds and borrowings made available pursuant to certain repurchase agreements. Pulte Mortgage uses these resources to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to third party investors, generally within 30 days. Given the Company's current liquidity position and the cost of third party financing relative to existing mortgage rates, Pulte Mortgage allowed each of its third party borrowing arrangements to expire during 2010 and began funding its operations using internal Company resources.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets (Policy)

Goodwill And Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the cost of acquired companies in excess of the fair value of the net assets at the acquisition date, is subject to annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recorded goodwill has been allocated to the Company's reporting units based on the relative fair value of each acquired reporting unit. Management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying value of the Company's reporting units to their fair value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flows, supplemented by market-based assessments of fair value. Impairment is measured as the difference between the resulting implied fair value of goodwill and its recorded carrying value. The determination of fair value is significantly impacted by estimates for each of the Company's markets related to current valuations, current and future economic conditions, and the Company's strategic plans. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process and significant volatility in demand for new housing, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.

The Company recorded $1.5 billion of goodwill in connection with the merger with Centex Corporation ("Centex"), which was completed in August 2009. All goodwill associated with prior transactions has been previously written-off. Since the Centex merger, the Company has recorded impairments at various times of the associated goodwill. These impairments have resulted from a variety of factors, including, among other things, deteriorations in market conditions, the Company's operating results falling below previously forecasted levels, and a sustained decline in the Company's market capitalization since the Centex merger.

In the third quarters of both 2011 and 2010, the Company performed event-driven assessments of the recoverability of goodwill. These assessments were necessary primarily due to sustained declines in the Company's market capitalization. In performing the goodwill impairment analyses, the Company followed similar approaches using management's estimates of the future cash flows for each reporting unit, which are required to consider the decrease in the Company's market capitalization. The results of these analyses determined that goodwill impairment charges of $240.5 million and $654.9 million in the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, were required. The Company also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 in conjunction with the completion of its business combination accounting for the Centex merger. Goodwill impairment charges are reflected in other expense (income), net.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of trademarks and tradenames acquired in connection with the 2009 acquisition of Centex and the 2001 acquisition of Del Webb. These intangible assets were valued at the respective acquisition dates and are being amortized over 20-year lives. The ultimate realization of these assets is dependent upon estimates of future earnings and benefits that the Company expects to generate from their use. In both the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, the Company performed event-driven assessments of the recoverability of these assets using projected undiscounted cash flows. In each instance, the Company determined that no impairment existed. However, if expectations of future results and cash flows decrease significantly or if our strategy related to the use of such intangible assets changes, the related intangible assets may be impaired.
