(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Centex Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. The unaudited statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Company suggests that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Effective July 1, 2003, the Company consolidated Harwood Street Funding I, LLC (“HSF-I”) pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as revised, (“FIN 46”), as discussed in Note (G), “Indebtedness.” As of July 1, 2003, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle recorded was $13.3 million, net of tax.

     As explained in Note (J), “Land Held Under Option Agreements not Owned and Other Land Deposits” pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46, as of June 30, 2004, the Company consolidated $416.5 million of lot option agreements and recorded $33.0 million of deposits related to these options as land held under option agreements not owned.

(C) STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

     On April 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value measurement provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), under which the Company recognizes compensation expense of a stock option award to an employee over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. The fair value method has been applied to awards granted or modified on or after April 1, 2003 (the prospective method), whereas awards granted prior to such date continued to be accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations.

     On January 30, 2004, the Company modified all of its outstanding stock options and long-term incentive plan rights in order to keep the holders in the same economic position as before the spin-off of our construction products operations. This adjustment is a modification, which resulted in a reduction of the option exercise price and an increase in the number of shares covered by the options or long-term incentive plan rights, under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. Subsequent to January 30, 2004, the Company has no outstanding options or other stock rights accounted for under the provisions of APB No. 25.

     In May 2004, the Company granted approximately 1.8 million options to employees. The fair value of these options is $31.3 million, as calculated under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $2.6 million related to these stock options was recognized during the three month period ended June 30, 2004.

     Financial Services long-term debt associated with Home Equity includes Asset-Backed Certificates of $6.26 billion at June 30, 2004. These Asset-Backed Certificates relate to securitized residential mortgage loans and are structured as collateralized borrowings. The holders of such debt have no recourse for non-payment to Centex Home Equity Company, LLC or Centex Corporation; however, as is common in these structures, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC remains liable for customary loan representations. The principal and interest on these certificates are paid from the liquidation of the underlying residential mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on these certificates is dependent upon the payments received on the underlying residential mortgage loans. The expected maturities of this component of long-term debt are based on contractual maturities adjusted for projected prepayments.

CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and Harwood Street Funding I, LLC

     CTX Mortgage Company, LLC finances its inventory of mortgage loans held for sale principally through sales of conforming and Jumbo “A” loans to Harwood Street Funding I, LLC (“HSF-I”), pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase agreement (the “HSF-I Purchase Agreement”). Since 1999, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC has sold substantially all of the conforming and Jumbo “A” mortgage loans that it originates to HSF-I in accordance with the HSF-I Purchase Agreement. HSF-I’s commitment to purchase eligible mortgage loans continues in effect until the occurrence of certain termination events described in the HSF-I Purchase Agreement. When HSF-I acquires these loans, it typically holds them for a period of 45 to 60 days and then resells them into the secondary market. In accordance with the HSF-I Purchase Agreement, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC acts as servicer of the loans owned by HSF-I and arranges for the sale of the eligible mortgage loans into the secondary market. HSF-I obtains the funds needed to purchase eligible mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage Company, LLC by issuing (1) short-term secured liquidity notes, (2) medium-term debt and (3) subordinated certificates. As of June 30, 2004, HSF-I had outstanding (1) short-term secured liquidity notes rated A1+ by Standard & Poor’s, or S&P, and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service, or Moody’s and (2) subordinated certificates maturing in September 2004, November 2005 and June 2006, extendable for up to five years, rated BBB by S&P and Baa2 by Moody’s. Under the terms of the HSF-I Purchase Agreement, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC may elect to sell to HSF-I, and HSF-I is obligated to purchase from CTX Mortgage Company, LLC, mortgage loans that satisfy certain eligibility criteria and portfolio requirements. At June 30, 2004, the maximum amount of mortgage loans that HSF-I is allowed to carry in its inventory under the HSF-I Purchase Agreement is $3.0 billion. The purposes of this arrangement are to allow CTX Mortgage Company, LLC to reduce the cost of financing the mortgage loans originated by it and to improve its liquidity.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, which modified the accounting for certain entities in which (1) equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest and/or (2) the entity is unable to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Pursuant to FIN 46, HSF-I is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, HSF-I was consolidated in the Company’s financial statements beginning July 1, 2003. Prior to the implementation of FIN 46, HSF-I was not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. As a result of the consolidation of HSF-I, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $13.3 million, net of tax, in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The consolidation of HSF-I resulted in an increase in the Company’s residential mortgage loans held for sale with a corresponding increase in the Company’s debt of approximately $1.19 billion at June 30, 2004. In addition, interest income and interest expense of HSF-I subsequent to June 30, 2003, are reflected in the Company’s financial statements. Because HSF-I is a consolidated entity as of July 1, 2003, all transactions between the Company and HSF-I subsequent to June 30, 2003 are eliminated in consolidation.

     HSF-I has entered into a swap arrangement with a bank (the “Harwood Swap”) under which the bank has agreed to make certain payments to HSF-I, and HSF-I has agreed to make certain payments to the bank, the net effect of which is that the bank has agreed to bear certain interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the mortgage loans held by HSF-I. The purpose of this arrangement is to provide credit enhancement to HSF-I by permitting it to hedge these risks with a counterparty having a short-term credit rating of A1+ from S&P and P-1 from Moody’s. However, the Company effectively bears all interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks that are the subject of the Harwood

Swap because Centex has entered into a separate swap arrangement with the bank pursuant to which Centex has agreed to pay to the bank all amounts that the bank is required to pay to HSF-I pursuant to the Harwood Swap plus a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the notional amount of the Harwood Swap. Additionally, the bank is required to pay to Centex all amounts that the bank receives from HSF-I pursuant to the Harwood Swap. Financial Services executes the forward sales of CTX Mortgage Company, LLC’s loans to hedge the risk of reductions in value of mortgages sold to HSF-I or maintained under secured financing agreements. This offsets the majority of the Company’s risk as the counterparty to the swap supporting the payment requirements of HSF-I. See additional discussion of interest rate risks in Note (N), “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company is also required to reimburse the bank for certain expenses, costs and damages that it may incur.

     HSF-I’s debt does not have recourse to the Company, and the consolidation of this debt does not change the Company’s debt ratings. The Company does not guarantee the payment of any debt or subordinated extendable certificates of HSF-I and is not liable for credit losses relating to securitized residential mortgage loans sold to HSF-I. However, the Company retains certain risks related to the portfolio of mortgage loans held by HSF-I. In particular, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC makes representations and warranties to HSF-I to the effect that each mortgage loan sold to HSF-I satisfies the eligibility criteria and portfolio requirements discussed above. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC may be required to repurchase mortgage loans sold to HSF-I if such mortgage loans are determined to be ineligible loans or there occur certain other breaches of representations and warranties of CTX Mortgage Company, LLC, as seller or servicer. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC’s obligations as servicer, including its obligation as servicer to repurchase such loans, are guaranteed by Centex Corporation. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC records a liability for its estimated losses for these obligations and such amount is included in its loan origination reserve. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies sold $2.57 billion of mortgage loans to investors and recognized net gains from mortgage banking operations of $33.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC sold $4.05 billion of mortgage loans to HSF-I and other investors and recognized net gains from mortgage banking operations of $77.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Harwood Street Funding II, LLC

     Home Equity finances its inventory of mortgage loans held for investment through Harwood Street Funding II, LLC (“HSF-II”), a wholly-owned, consolidated entity, under a revolving sales agreement that expires upon final payment of the senior and subordinated debt issued by HSF-II. This arrangement, where HSF-II has committed to finance all eligible loans, gives Home Equity daily access to HSF-II’s borrowing capacity of $2.5 billion. HSF-II obtains funds for the purchase of eligible loans by issuing (1) short-term secured liquidity notes, (2) medium-term debt and (3) subordinated notes. As of June 30, 2004, HSF-II had outstanding (1) short-term secured liquidity notes rated A1+ by S&P, P-1 by Moody’s and F1+ by Fitch Ratings, or Fitch and (2) subordinated notes rated BBB by S&P, Baa2 by Moody’s and BBB by Fitch. Because HSF-II is a consolidated entity, the debt, interest income and interest expense of HSF-II are reflected in the financial statements of Financial Services. HSF-II’s debt does not have recourse to the Company and the consolidation of this debt does not change the Company’s debt ratings.

     In the event Financial Services is unable to finance its inventory of loans through HSF-I and HSF-II, it would draw on other existing credit facilities. In addition, Financial Services would need to make other customary financing arrangements to fund its mortgage loan origination activities. Although the Company believes that Financial Services could arrange for alternative financing that is common for non-investment grade mortgage companies, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available on satisfactory

terms, and any delay in obtaining such financing could adversely affect the results of operations of Financial Services.

(H) MERGER OF 3333 HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY AND CENTEX DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

     Prior to February 2004, the common stock of 3333 Holding Corporation (“Holding”) and warrants to purchase limited partnership interests in Centex Development Company, L.P. (“the Partnership”) were traded in tandem with our common stock. We held an ownership interest in the Partnership, which we reported on the equity method of accounting as a part of our investment real estate operations. Neither Holding nor the Partnership was consolidated in our financial statements.

     On February 29, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Holding and the Partnership through a series of transactions, which included mergers with the Company’s subsidiaries. The transactions were approved by the Company’s stockholders and holders of beneficial interests in Holding at a special joint meeting of stockholders held on February 25, 2004. These transactions terminated the tandem trading relationship between the Company’s common stock and the common stock of Holding, as well as the stockholder warrants of the Partnership. For their interests in the securities of Holding and the Partnership, the Company’s stockholders of record on February 29, 2004 received an amount equal to $0.02 per share of the Company’s common stock totaling approximately $1.2 million, which was paid on March 10, 2004.

     The mergers resulted in the consolidation of Holding and the Partnership. As a result of the mergers, effective March 1, 2004, the Company eliminated its investment in the Partnership of $370.6 million, recorded net assets of $370.6 million including goodwill of $36.4 million, and recorded a dividend to stockholders of $1.2 million. Operations of Holding and the Partnership have been consolidated in the Company’s results of operations subsequent to March 1, 2004.

     The operations of the Partnership included homebuilding operations in the United Kingdom. As a result of the merger, the international homebuilding operations of the Partnership are now included in our Home Building business segment, and the Partnership’s domestic real estate operations continue to be reported within our investment real estate operations included in the other segment.

(I) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company conducts a portion of its land acquisition, development and other activities through its participation in joint ventures in which the Company holds less than a majority interest. These land related activities typically require substantial capital, and partnering with other developers allows Home Building to share the risks and rewards of ownership while providing for efficient asset utilization. The Company’s investment in these non-consolidated joint ventures was $186.5 million and $140.1 million at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. These joint ventures had total outstanding secured construction debt of approximately $274.6 million and $202.2 million at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. The Company is liable, on a contingent basis, through guarantees, letters of credit or other arrangements, with respect to a portion of the construction debt of certain of the joint ventures, which we refer to as the recourse joint ventures. The Company’s maximum potential liability with respect to the debt of the recourse joint ventures, based on its ownership percentage of the recourse joint ventures, is approximately $70.3 million and $73.2 million at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. For certain of the recourse joint ventures, which represents approximately $66.9 million and $69.9 million of the Company’s maximum potential liability for the debt of all the recourse joint ventures at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively, the Company becomes liable up to the maximum amount for the recourse joint venture only to the extent that the

16


Table of Contents

construction debt exceeds a certain percentage of the value of the project. At June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, the Company was not liable for any of this debt based on the values of the related projects as of such dates. For certain of the joint ventures, the Company has also guaranteed the completion of the project by the joint ventures and agreed to indemnify the construction lender for certain environmental liabilities with respect to the project. In accordance with the provisions of FIN 46, the Company determines if it is the primary beneficiary of joint ventures based upon analysis of the variability of the expected gains and losses of the joint venture. Based on this evaluation, if the Company is the primary beneficiary, the joint venture is consolidated.

     In the normal course of its business, the Company issues certain representations, warranties and guarantees related to its home sales, land sales, building sales, commercial construction and mortgage loan originations. The Company believes that it has established the necessary accruals for these representations, warranties and guarantees. See further discussion of our warranty liability below.

     Home Building offers a ten-year limited warranty for most homes constructed and sold in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship in the first two years of the home and certain designated components or structural elements of the home in the third through tenth years. Prior to April 1, 2004, Home Building’s United States warranties for defects in materials or workmanship covered the first year. In California, effective January 1, 2003, Home Building began following the statutory provisions of Senate Bill 800, which, in part, provide a statutory warranty to customers and a statutory dispute resolution process. Home Building estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty program for which it will be responsible and records a liability at the time each home is closed. Factors that affect Home Building’s warranty liability include the number of homes closed, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. Home Building periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

     Changes in Home Building’s contractual warranty liability are as follows for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and the year ended March 31, 2004:

     In January 2003, Centex received a request for information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act seeking information about storm water discharge practices at projects that Centex subsidiaries had completed or were building. Subsequently, the EPA limited its request to Home Building and 30 communities. Home Building has provided the requested information and the United States Department of Justice (the “Justice Department”), acting on behalf of the EPA, has asserted that some of these and certain other communities (including one of Construction Services’ projects) have violated regulatory requirements applicable to storm water discharges, and that injunctive relief and civil penalties may be warranted. Home Building has defenses to the allegations made by the EPA and is exploring methods of settling this matter. While the amount of civil penalties, if any,

and the cost of injunctive relief, if any, are undetermined, the Company is confident that such amounts will not be material to its consolidated financial condition or operations.

     CTX Mortgage Company, LLC has established a liability for anticipated losses associated with loans originated. Changes in CTX Mortgage Company, LLC’s mortgage loan origination reserve are as follows for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and the year ended March 31, 2004:

(J) LAND HELD UNDER OPTION AGREEMENTS NOT OWNED AND OTHER LAND DEPOSITS

     In order to ensure the future availability of land for homebuilding, the Company enters into lot option purchase agreements with unaffiliated third parties. Under the option agreements, the Company pays a stated deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land at a future time, usually at predetermined prices. These options generally do not contain performance requirements from the Company nor obligate the Company to purchase the land, and expire at various dates through the year 2010.

     The Company has determined that in accordance with the provisions of FIN 46, it is the primary beneficiary of certain lot option agreements at June 30, 2004. As a result, the Company recorded $416.5 million of land as inventory under the caption land held under option agreements not owned, with a corresponding increase to minority interests. In addition, at June 30, 2004, the Company recorded $33.0 million of deposits related to these options as land held under option agreements not owned.

     At June 30, 2004, the Company had deposited or invested with third parties $109.0 million (excluding the $33.0 million of deposits discussed above) included in land held for development and sale related to lot option agreements. The lot option agreements related to these deposits had a total remaining purchase price of approximately $3.76 billion.

     The foreign currency translation adjustments are primarily the result of international homebuilding’s translated assets, liabilities and income statement accounts. The unrealized gain or loss on hedging instruments represents the deferral in other comprehensive income of the unrealized gain or loss on interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges. The accounting for interest rate swaps and other derivative financial instruments is discussed in detail in Note (N), “Derivatives and Hedging.”

(L) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company operates in three principal business segments: Home Building, Financial Services, and Construction Services. These segments operate primarily in the United States, and their markets are nationwide. Revenues from any one customer are not significant to the Company. Intersegment revenues and investments in joint ventures are not material and are not shown in the following tables.

Home Building

     Home Building’s operations involve the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of detached and attached single-family homes domestically and the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of a range of products from small single-family units to executive houses and apartments throughout the United Kingdom.

Financial Services

     Financial Services’ mortgage operations consist primarily of home financing, sub-prime home equity lending and the sale of title insurance and other various insurance coverages. These activities include mortgage origination, servicing and other related services for homes sold by the Company’s subsidiaries and others. Financial Services’ revenues include interest income of $159.2 million and $106.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s interest income in each year is earned by the Financial Services segment. Financial Services’ cost of sales is comprised of interest expense related to debt issued to fund its home financing and sub-prime home equity lending activities.

19


Table of Contents

Construction Services

     Construction Services’ operations involve the construction of buildings for both private and government interests including educational institutions, hospitals, military housing, correctional institutions, airport facilities, office buildings, hotels and resorts and sports facilities. As this segment generates positive cash flow, intercompany interest income (credited at the prime rate in effect) of $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, is included in management’s evaluation of this segment. However, the intercompany interest income is eliminated in consolidation and excluded from the tables presented below.

Other

     The Company’s Other segment includes the Company’s home services and investment real estate operations, which are not material for purposes of segment reporting, and corporate general and administrative expenses and interest expense.

     As previously described in Note (H), “Merger of 3333 Holding Corporation and Subsidiary and Centex Development Company, L.P. and Subsidiaries,” in February 2004, the Company acquired Holding and the Partnership. Subsequent to the merger, the Company has consolidated the financial results of the Partnership; and as a result, the Company realigned its reporting for the Partnership, whereby the Partnership’s international homebuilding operations are included in the Home Building business segment. The Partnership’s domestic operations continue to be reported within our investment real estate operations. The Company has determined that no significant capital will be allocated to our investment real estate operations for new business development. Beginning April 1, 2004, the financial results of our investment real estate operations are included in the Other business segment. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(M) INCOME TAXES

     Income tax expense for the Company increased from $62.1 million to $98.7 million and the effective tax rate increased from approximately 32% to 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of a reduction in the availability of tax benefits related to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards in fiscal 2005 as compared to the prior year.

(N) DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

     The Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on its debt and other obligations. As part of its strategy to manage the obligations that are subject to changes in interest rates, the Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges as described below. The swap agreements are recorded at their fair value in other assets or accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. To the extent the hedging relationship is effective, gains or losses in the fair value of the derivative are deferred as a component of Stockholders’ Equity through other comprehensive income (loss). Fluctuations in the fair value of the ineffective portion of the derivative are reflected in the current period earnings, although such amounts are insignificant.

21


Table of Contents

     At June 30, 2004, Centex Corporation has interest rate swap agreements that, in effect, fix the variable interest rates on (i) $25 million of its outstanding debt at 6.7% and expires in October 2005 and (ii) £50 million of its outstanding debt at 4.0% and expires in March 2006. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the hedges related to these derivatives were effective. Amounts to be received or paid under the swap agreements are recognized as changes in interest incurred on the related debt instruments. Based on the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2004 related to these derivatives, the Company estimates decreases in interest incurred over the next 12 months to be approximately $204.8 thousand. As of June 30, 2004, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income related to these derivatives was $278.7 thousand ($277.0 thousand net of tax).

     Financial Services, through Home Equity, uses interest rate swaps to hedge the market risk associated with the anticipated issuance of fixed rate securitization debt used to finance sub-prime mortgages. At June 30, 2004, Home Equity had $165 million of these interest rate swap agreements in place at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.5%. Changes in fair value of these derivatives are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recorded through current earnings as an adjustment of the interest incurred over the life of the securitization debt. Home Equity also uses interest rate swaps that, in effect, fix the interest rate on its variable interest rate debt. Amounts to be received or paid as a result of these swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest incurred on the related debt instrument. At June 30, 2004, Home Equity was hedging $2.25 billion of its outstanding debt with these interest rate swaps at a weighted-average interest rate of 2.1%. These swaps expire at varying times through June 2007. Based on the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2004 related to interest rate hedging activities, the Company estimates decreases in interest incurred over the next 12 months to be approximately $7.1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the hedges related to substantially all of Home Equity’s interest rate swaps were effective and the ineffective portion was insignificant. As of June 30, 2004, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income related to Home Equity’s derivatives was $10.3 million ($6.7 million net of tax).

     Financial Services, through CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies, enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) with its customers under which CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies agree to make mortgage loans at agreed upon rates within a period of time, generally from 1 to 30 days, if certain conditions are met. Initially, the IRLCs are treated as derivative instruments and their fair value is recorded on the balance sheet in other assets or accrued liabilities. The fair value of these loan commitment derivatives does not include future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan or the value of any internally-developed intangible assets. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the IRLCs are recorded as an adjustment to earnings. To hedge the interest rate risk related to its IRLCs, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies execute mandatory forward trade commitments (i.e., “forward trade commitments”). CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies also execute forward trade commitments to hedge the interest rate risk related to its portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale, including mortgage loans held by HSF-I. As discussed in Note (G), “Indebtedness,” HSF-I is a variable interest entity that has been consolidated with Financial Services and the Company effective July 1, 2003, pursuant to FIN 46. In connection with the consolidation of HSF-I, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies elected as of July 1, 2003 to utilize hedge accounting treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS No. 133”) for these forward trade commitments. These forward trade commitments have been designated as fair value hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the forward trade commitments and the mortgage loans, for which the hedge relationship is deemed effective, are recorded as an adjustment to earnings. To the extent the hedge is effective, gains or losses in the value of the hedged loans due to interest rate movement will be offset

22


Table of Contents

by an equal and opposite gain or loss in the value of the forward trade commitment. This will result in net zero impact to earnings. To the extent the hedge contains some ineffectiveness, the ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in earnings. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness included in earnings was a loss of approximately $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Forward trade commitments not designated as hedges are treated as derivative instruments, and their fair value is recorded on the balance sheet in other assets or accrued liabilities. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these forward trade commitments are recorded as an adjustment to earnings. The net change in the estimated fair value of derivative positions not subject to hedge accounting resulted in a loss of approximately $72 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

(O) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     As previously described in Note (H), “Merger of 3333 Holding Corporation and Subsidiary and Centex Development Company, L.P. and Subsidiaries,” in February 2004, the Company acquired Holding and the Partnership. Transactions and amounts occurring after the Partnership’s consolidation are not included in the related party disclosures below, as the transactions between the Company and the Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior to the merger, the Partnership executed transactions with Home Building and Construction Services.

     Home Building purchased land from the Partnership during the three months ended June 30, 2003 totaling $12.0 million. In addition, at June 30, 2003, Home Building had $7.8 million deposited with the Partnership as option deposits for the purchase of land. Home Building also entered into agreements to reimburse the Partnership for certain costs and fees incurred by the Partnership in the purchase and ownership of these tracts of land. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, Home Building paid $0.4 million to the Partnership in fees and reimbursements pursuant to these agreements.

     Construction Services executed a $10.6 million contract with the Partnership for the construction of an office building. At June 30, 2003, this contract was outstanding.

(P) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     During March 2004, the FASB issued an exposure draft entitled “Share-Based Payment,” which would amend SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 95, “Statements of Cash Flows.” Share-based payments are transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (1) equity instruments of the enterprise or (2) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Among other items, the exposure draft may require the Company to change its method of valuing share-based payments and its method of accruing compensation costs for awards with graded vesting schedules (that is, awards for which different parts vest at different times). The exposure draft is not final and is subject to a comment period that ended June 30, 2004. Although the exposure draft and its eventual effective date are subject to revision, the proposed effective date of the exposure draft is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. If the exposure draft is implemented in its current form, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

(Q) OFF-BALANCE SHEET OBLIGATIONS

     The Company enters into various off-balance sheet transactions in the normal course of business in order to reduce financing costs and improve access to liquidity, facilitate homebuilding activities and manage exposure to changing interest rates. Further discussion regarding these transactions can be found above in Note (I), “Commitments and Contingencies.”

(R) SPIN-OFF OF SUBSIDIARIES

     In June 2003, the Company spun off substantially all of its manufactured housing operations, which had previously been included in the Other segment. As a result of the spin-off, the manufactured housing operations’ earnings for all periods prior to the spin-off have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.

     In January 2004, the Company spun off its entire equity interest in Eagle Materials Inc., formerly known as Centex Construction Products, Inc., which had previously been reported as a separate business segment. As a result of the spin-off, the Construction Products’ earnings for all periods prior to the spin-off have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2003, discontinued operations had revenues of $183.6 million and operating earnings of $23.6 million.

(S) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On July 19, 2004, Centex Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form S-3 Registration Statement which will allow Centex to sell from time to time up to $2.5 billion of common and preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and other securities. Centex plans to use proceeds from any sales of these securities for general corporate purposes, which may include debt repayment, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and securities repurchases. On August 3, 2004, the SEC declared this Registration Statement effective.

(T) RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to be consistent with the June 30, 2004 presentation.

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

Executive Summary

     We currently operate in three principal business segments: Home Building, Financial Services and Construction Services. The following charts summarize certain key line items of our results of operations (for our company as a whole and by principal business segment) for the first quarter fiscal 2005 and 2004:

(PERFORMANCE GRAPH)

(PERFORMANCE GRAPH)

*   Other consists of the financial results of investment real estate operations, home services operations, corporate general and administrative expense and interest expense.

     As outlined in the charts above, for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003, revenues increased 27% to $2.8 billion and earnings from continuing operations increased 42%

Table of Contents

to $276 million. The increase in revenues and operating earnings is primarily the result of the operating results of our Home Building segment. The growth in operating earnings from the Home Building segment was offset, to a much lesser extent, by a decline in operating earnings of our Financial Services segment.

     Home Building’s organic growth strategy is driven primarily by growth in neighborhoods open for sale, increases in closings per neighborhood, increases in average selling prices, and continued improvements in operating margins. For the first quarter 2005, as compared to first quarter 2004, Home Building’s domestic operations have increased average neighborhood count from 558 to 570 and closings per average neighborhood from 11.4 to 13.0. Over that same period of time, domestic operating margins have also improved from 10.4% to 11.8%.

     As of March 31, 2004, we had homebuilding operations in 45 of the 50 largest housing markets in the United States, which includes six markets with our Wayne Homes operations. We have largely completed our geographic diversification plan and are now focused primarily on further penetration in our existing markets; however, we will continue to be opportunistic with respect to specific geographic or market segment expansion.

     The overall demand for housing in the United States remains favorable, and is driven by population growth, demographics, immigration, household formations and increasing home ownership rates. Short-term growth drivers such as mortgage rates, consumer confidence and employment levels can also impact housing demand. The highly fragmented homebuilding industry in the United States is in the early stages of a consolidation phase. In 1995, based upon single-family permits issued in the United States, the 10 largest homebuilders represented approximately 7.2% of the housing market. As of 2003, the 10 largest homebuilders were producing approximately 15.1% of the nation’s new housing stock. We believe industry consolidation will continue to be an important growth factor over the next decade or more as large homebuilders realize the benefits of size, such as capital strength, more efficient operations and technological advantages.

     Financial Services’ operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 have been negatively impacted by decreased loan refinancing activity reflective of an increasing mortgage interest rate environment. Thirty-year conventional mortgage fixed interest rates were approximately 6.29% and 5.23% as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Refinancing activity accounted for 24% and 51% of originations in first quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our Financial Services segment will continue to focus on serving the customers of our Home Building segment and increasing the percentage of conforming mortgage loans provided to them. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, our conforming mortgage business financed approximately 73% of our Home Building non-cash unit closings. In addition, the Financial Services growth model includes plans to increase the number of loan officers originating conforming retail loans and improve their productivity. Our conforming mortgage lending business is primarily a fee-based business with low capital requirements. Our Financial Services segment also includes our sub-prime home equity lending operations, which is a portfolio-based model that produces more predictable earnings. Our sub-prime home equity loans are obtained through our organically grown origination channels using centrally controlled product, pricing and underwriting.

     The results of operations of certain of our segments, including our Home Building and Financial Services operations, may be adversely affected by increases in interest rates. Any significant increase in mortgage interest rates above currently prevailing low levels could affect the ability or willingness of prospective homebuyers to finance home purchases and/or further curtail mortgage refinance activity. Although we expect that we would be able to make adjustments in our operations to mitigate the effects of any increase in interest rates, there can be no assurances that these efforts would be successful.

     Our Construction Services segment operating earnings for the first quarter 2005 remained relatively stable as compared to the first quarter 2004. Industry conditions have created increased pricing pressure on construction companies, which in turn has reduced our Construction Services operating margins. However, revenues for the first quarter 2005 increased compared to first quarter 2004 due to our focus on increasing market share. The commercial construction environment remains challenged but is showing signs of improvement as evidenced by the increase in backlog. At June 30, 2004, the backlog was $1.65 billion, an increase of 17.5% over the prior year. Strategically, we will continue to focus on our core geographic and selected industry segments to achieve growth in revenues and operating earnings.

     In fiscal year 2004, we consummated the spin-offs to our stockholders of substantially all of our manufactured housing operations on June 30, 2003 and our entire ownership interest in Eagle Materials Inc., formerly known as Centex Construction Products, Inc., a former majority owned subsidiary, on January 30, 2004. Manufactured housing and Centex Construction Products, Inc. are reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements.

Domestic

     Home Building’s domestic operations involve the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of detached and attached single-family homes. The following summarizes the results of our Home Building domestic operations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

     Home Building’s domestic operations financial performance is reflective of changes in the following performance indicators:

  Growth in average neighborhoods
 
  Growth in closings per average neighborhood
 
  Increases in average unit sales price
 
  Operating margin improvement

     The following summarizes changes in performance indicators for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the prior year.

     We define a neighborhood as an individual active selling location targeted to a specific buyer segment. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, average operating neighborhoods increased 2.2% to 570 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

     The 14.0% increase in closings per average neighborhood in first quarter 2005 was largely the result of higher sales rates realized over the last twelve months. These sale rate increases can be attributed to our continued focus on market research, enhanced sales and marketing activities and activity-based sales management. Sales orders for the quarter were particularly strong in the southeast and west coast regions and, for all regions, totaled 9,031 units, an increase of 7.4% versus the prior year. Home closing volume also increased 16.3%, to 7,383 homes.

     Strong housing market conditions, combined with our geographic, product and segment diversification strategies, continued to drive higher average selling prices. For first quarter 2005, average selling prices were up 9.0% to $253,592. Average selling prices, excluding California, were up 6.9% to $218,154 and California’s average selling price was up 17.3% to $471,192.

     Operating margins for our domestic homebuilding operations improved to 11.8% for the first quarter from 10.4% in the prior year. Increased unit volume, average selling price increases and continued focus on lowering direct construction costs resulted in margin improvement throughout the Home Building segment. National and regional purchasing programs and local cost reduction and efficiency efforts have helped offset increasing raw material costs experienced throughout the year. We purchase materials, services and land from numerous sources, and believe that we can deal effectively with the challenges we may experience relating to the supply or availability of materials, services and land.

     The above factors contributed to the improvement in our operating earnings, which is reflective of our continued focus on our “Quality Growth” strategy, consisting of growing revenue and earnings while expanding margins.

     During the first quarter, we continued to increase our land position to facilitate our short and longer term growth initiatives. Based on our current closing projections, our land position that is currently owned or controlled under option agreements at June 30, 2004 would produce approximately 100% of our projected closings for fiscal year 2005, 90% of our projected closings for fiscal year 2006, and 60% of our projected closings for fiscal year 2007.

International

     In February 2004, we acquired through merger transactions the Partnership, an investment previously accounted for on the equity method of accounting. Subsequent to the merger, international homebuilding operations of the Partnership have been consolidated with the Home Building segment. Prior period earnings related to the international homebuilding operations of the Partnership, previously reflected in our investment real estate operations, have been reclassified to the Home Building segment to conform to the presentation subsequent to the merger. Our international homebuilding operations involve the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of a range of products from small single-family units to executive houses and apartments throughout the United Kingdom. Included in Home Building’s operating results were 314 closings and revenues and operating earnings of $99.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004. Earnings from unconsolidated entities related to the international homebuilding operations of the Partnership were $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

     The Financial Services segment is primarily engaged in the residential mortgage lending business, as well as other financial services that are in large part related to the residential mortgage market. Its operations include mortgage origination, servicing and other related services for purchasers of homes sold by our Home Building operations and other homebuilders, sub-prime home equity lending and the sale of title insurance and various other insurance coverages.

     The revenues and operating earnings of CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies are derived primarily from the sale of mortgage loans, inclusive of all servicing rights, interest income and other fees. Net origination fees, mortgage servicing rights, and other revenues derived from the origination of mortgage loans are deferred and recognized when the related loan is sold to a third-party purchaser. Interest revenues on residential mortgage loans receivable are recognized using the interest (actuarial) method. Other

revenues, including fees for title insurance and other services performed in connection with mortgage lending activities, are recognized as earned.

     Our business strategy of selling conforming loans reduces our capital investment and related risks, provides substantial liquidity and is an efficient process given the size and maturity of the conforming mortgage loan secondary capital markets. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC originates mortgage loans, holds them for a short period and sells them to HSF-I and investors. HSF-I is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary and, as of July 1, 2003, was consolidated with our Financial Services segment. The consolidation of HSF-I resulted in an increase in our residential mortgage loans held for sale with a corresponding increase in our debt of approximately $1.19 billion at June 30, 2004. In addition, interest income and interest expense of HSF-I subsequent to June 30, 2003 are reflected in our financial statements. As a result of the consolidation, interest income reflected as revenues and interest expense reflected as cost of sales in the table above increased approximately $15.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. HSF-I purchases mortgage loans, at closing, from CTX Mortgage Company, LLC with the proceeds from the issuance of medium term notes, secured liquidity notes and subordinated certificates that are extendable for up to five years. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies sold $2.57 billion of mortgage loans to investors and recognized net gains from mortgage banking operations of $33.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC sold $4.05 billion of mortgage loans to HSF-I and other investors and recognized net gains from mortgage banking operations of $77.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

     In the normal course of its activities, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC (and its related companies subsequent to the consolidation of HSF-I) carries inventories of loans pending sale to third-party investors and earns an interest margin, that we define as the difference between interest revenue on mortgage loans held for sale or investment and interest expense on debt used to fund the mortgage loans. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies use short-term mortgage warehouse facilities to finance these inventories of loans. The significant increase in interest margin is due to the consolidation of HSF-I interest income and expense in our financial statements subsequent to June 30, 2003.

     The decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 is the result of a decrease in the volume of loans originated and sold to the secondary market and less favorable secondary market conditions. The following table provides a comparative analysis of mortgage loan originations and applications for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

     The decrease in loan originations is primarily reflective of a decrease in retail loan originations due to a decrease in refinancing activity partially offset by an increase in loans originated for Centex Homes’ buyers. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, CTX Mortgage Company, LLC originated 73% of the non-cash closings of Centex Homes’ buyers, consistent with the prior year. Profit per loan decreased due to a decrease in the volume of originations.

     CTX Mortgage Company, LLC’s operations are influenced by borrowers’ perceptions of and reactions to interest rates. Refinancing activity accounted for 24% and 51% of originations in first quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively. Any significant increase in mortgage interest rates above currently prevailing low levels could affect the ability or willingness of prospective homebuyers to finance home purchases and/or further curtail mortgage refinance activity. Although there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful, we will seek to mitigate the effects of any increase in mortgage interest rates by adding loan officers, improving their productivity and reducing costs.

     The revenues of Centex Home Equity Company, LLC, or Home Equity, increased as a result of continued growth in our portfolio of residential mortgage loans held for investment. This portfolio growth translated into more interest income, our largest component of revenue. The factors that contributed to this portfolio growth include:

  Increased consumer demand
 
  Increased overall sales force
 
  Continued focus in key markets

     Revenues also increased due to a whole loan sale transaction in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 whereby Home Equity sold loans to a third party; however, servicing rights were retained. As a result of Home Equity retaining the servicing rights, the whole loan sale transaction will generate two revenue streams: (1) gain on sale of the mortgages and (2) the servicing income after the sale. Home Equity recognized approximately $14.4 million in revenue this quarter due to the whole loan sale.

     Operating expenses increased as a result of Home Equity’s continued growth. The increase in loan production volume, the expansion of branch offices and the increase in the number of its employees are directly related to a corresponding increase in salaries and related costs, rent expense, group insurance costs and advertising expenditures.

     The increase in the loss provision occurred primarily because of the increase in residential mortgage loans held for investment. Also, as the portfolio continues to mature and grow, we expect the provision for losses, the loans charged off and the allowance for loss ratios to continue to increase. For a more detailed discussion of our accounting policy and methodology for establishing the provision for losses, see “Critical Accounting

33


Table of Contents

Estimates-Valuation of Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Investment.” Changes in the allowance for losses are included in Note (E), “Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Investment,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     The increase in operating earnings is primarily derived from the increase in interest margin which we define as the difference between interest revenue on mortgage loans held for sale or investment and interest expense on debt used to fund the mortgage loans. Interest margin increased primarily as a result of an increase in the portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment and a decrease in interest rates on debt used to fund mortgage loans.

     Average interest earning assets and liabilities increased primarily due to an increase in the volume of loan originations and an increase in average loan size (see table below). The fact that the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased significantly more than the decrease of the yield earned on interest earning assets, coupled with the increase in originations, resulted in the increase in net interest margin.

     The following table provides a comparative analysis of mortgage loan originations and applications for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

Average Loan Size
  $ 125,100       28.2 %   $ 97,600       24.6 %

     The increase in origination volume was due to an increase in the average loan size and an increase in the overall sales force, which resulted in an increase in the number of loan applications received.

     Home Equity periodically securitizes its inventory of mortgage loan originations in order to provide long-term funding for its mortgage operations and to reduce its interest rate exposure on fixed rate loans.

     The majority of Home Equity’s servicing portfolio is accounted for using the portfolio accounting method in accordance with FASB SFAS No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases,” where (1) loan originations are securitized and accounted for as borrowings; (2) interest income is recorded over the life of the loans using the interest (actuarial) method; (3) the mortgage loans receivable and the securitization debt (asset-backed certificates) remain on Home Equity’s balance sheet; and (4) the related interest margin is reflected in the income statement. This structure of securitizations has been utilized since April 1, 2000.

     Another component of Home Equity’s servicing portfolio includes securitizations accounted for as gain on sale in accordance with FASB SFAS No. 125, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” where from October 1997 through March 2000, an estimate of the entire gain resulting from the sale was included in earnings during the period in which the securitization transaction occurred. This is referred to as the gain on sale method and is included in the serviced for others category in the above table. Unlike the portfolio accounting method, our balance sheet does not reflect the mortgage loans receivable nor the offsetting debt resulting from these securitizations. However, the gain on sale method does reflect Home Equity’s retained residual interest in, as well as the servicing rights to, the securitized loans on the balance sheet. We refer to the retained residual interest as the mortgage securitization residual interest, or MSRI. Home Equity carries MSRI at fair value on the balance sheet. The serviced for other category of Home Equity’s servicing portfolio also includes loans sold on a “whole loan basis” that Home Equity continues to service.

     The structure of the securitization has no effect on the ultimate amount of profit and cash flow recognized over the life of the mortgages. However, the structure does affect the timing of profit recognition. Under both structures, recourse on the securitized debt is limited to the payments received on the underlying mortgage collateral with no recourse to Home Equity or Centex Corporation. As is common in these structures, Home Equity remains liable for customary loan representations.

     The primary risks in Home Equity’s operations are consistent with those of the financial services industry and include credit risk associated with its loans, liquidity risk related to funding its loans and interest rate risk prior to securitization of the loans. In addition, it is also subject to prepayment risks (principal reductions in excess of contractually scheduled reductions) associated with loans securitized prior to April 2000.

CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

     The following summarizes Construction Services’ results for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in millions):

Backlog of Uncompleted Contracts
  $ 1,650.2       17.5 %   $ 1,404.8       (32.8 %)

     Operating earnings for Construction Services remained relatively stable. Industry conditions have created increased pricing pressure, which in turn has reduced Construction Services’ operating margins. The increases in new contracts executed and backlog of uncompleted contracts were the result of our strategy to increase market share by focusing on key geographic markets and certain industry markets. Construction Services defines backlog as the uncompleted portion of all signed contracts.

     Construction Services has also been awarded work that is pending execution of a signed contract. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, such work, which is not included in backlog, was approximately $2.46 billion and $2.02 billion, respectively. There is no assurance that this awarded work will result in future revenues.

OTHER

     Our Other segment includes our home services operations, investment real estate operations, corporate general and administrative expense and interest expense. In June 2003, we spun off substantially all of our investment in manufactured housing operations, which had previously been included in the Other segment. As a result of the spin-off, manufactured housing operations are reflected as a discontinued operation and not included in the segment information below.

     As previously described in Note (H), “Merger of 3333 Holding Corporation and Subsidiary and Centex Development Company, L.P. and Subsidiaries,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company acquired Holding and the Partnership in February 2004. Subsequent to the merger, the Company has consolidated the financial results of the Partnership; and as a result, the Company has realigned its reporting for the Partnership, whereby the Partnership’s international homebuilding operations are included in the Home Building business segment. The Partnership’s domestic operations continue to be reported within our investment real estate operations. The Company has determined that no significant capital will be allocated to our investment real estate operations for new business development. Beginning April 1, 2004, the financial results of our investment real estate operations are included in the Other business segment. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

     The increase in our home services division’s operating loss in first quarter 2005 is primarily due to an increase in marketing expenses resulting from expansion and growth of our home services operations in the homebuilder customer market coupled with incremental commissions on new sales growth. The increase in our investment real estate division’s operating earnings was primarily related to the timing of property sales.

     Interest costs include interest expense of $5.0 million and $15.5 million and interest expensed and relieved to Home Building’s costs and expenses of $27.6 million and $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total interest costs, excluding Financial Services’ interest expense, were $32.6 million and $28.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in total interest costs is primarily related to an increase in average debt outstanding for the first quarter in fiscal 2005, as compared to June 30, 2003.

     Our effective tax rate related to continuing operations increased to approximately 36% from 32% in the three month period ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, primarily due to the reduction in the availability of tax benefits related to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards in fiscal 2005 as compared to the prior year.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     In June 2003, we spun off to our stockholders substantially all of our manufactured housing operations, and in January 2004, we spun off to our stockholders our entire equity interest in Eagle Materials Inc., formerly known as Centex Construction Products, Inc. As a result of the spin-offs, the earnings from these operations for all periods prior to the spin-offs have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. All prior period information related to these discontinued operations has been reclassified to be consistent with the June 30, 2004 presentation.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2003, discontinued operations had revenues of $183.6 million and operating earnings of $23.6 million.

*   “Centex” represents a supplemental presentation that reflects the Financial Services segment as if accounted for under the equity method. We believe that separate disclosure of the consolidating information is useful because the Financial Services subsidiaries operate in a distinctly different financial environment that generally requires significantly less equity to support their higher debt levels compared to the operations of our other subsidiaries; the Financial Services subsidiaries have structured their financing programs substantially on a stand alone basis; and Centex has limited obligations with respect to the indebtedness of our Financial Services subsidiaries. Management uses this information in its financial and strategic planning. We also use this presentation to allow investors to compare us to homebuilders that do not have financial services operations.

     We generally fund our Centex operating and other short-term liquidity needs through cash provided by operations, borrowings from commercial paper and the issuance of medium-term notes and other debt securities. Centex’s operating cash is derived primarily through home and land sales from our Home Building segment and general contracting fees obtained through our Construction Services segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, cash was primarily used in Centex’s operating activities to finance increases in Home Building inventories relating to the increased level of sales and resulting units under construction during the year, and for the acquisition of land held for development. The funds provided by Centex’s financing activities were primarily from debt issued to fund the increased homebuilding activity.

     We generally fund our Financial Services’ operating and other short-term liquidity needs through securitizations, committed credit facilities, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans to investors and cash flows from operations. Financial Services’ operating cash is derived primarily through sales of mortgage loans, interest income on mortgage loans held for investment and origination and servicing fees. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, cash was primarily used in Financial Services’ investing activities to finance increases in residential mortgage loans held for investment. The funds provided by Financial

Services’ financing activities were primarily from new debt used to fund the increased residential mortgage loan activity.

     During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company’s principal amount of outstanding debt increased $688.9 million resulting from: (1) Centex issuance of $350.0 million long-term note due 2015, (2) an increase in Centex other indebtedness of $40.0 million primarily relating to our international homebuilding operations and (3) and a $298.9 million increase in Financial Services Home Equity asset-based certificates.

(1)   This is an unsecured, committed, multi-bank revolving credit facility, maturing in August 2006, which serves as backup for commercial paper borrowings. As of June 30, 2004, there were no borrowings under this backup facility, and our $700 million commercial paper program had no amounts outstanding. We have not borrowed under this revolving credit facility since its inception. In July 2004, the maturity date of this revolving credit facility was extended to July 2007.
 
(2)   This is an unsecured, committed, multi-bank revolving letter of credit facility, maturing in August 2004. Letters of credit under this facility may expire no later than August 2005. In July 2004, this facility was increased to $300 million and the maturity date was extended to July 2005. In addition, the expiration period for letters of credit issued under this facility was extended to July 2006.
 
(3)   In conjunction with the issuance of surety bonds in support of our Construction Services activity, Centex Corporation will provide letters of credit of up to $100 million if Centex Corporation’s public debt ratings fall below investment grade. In support of this ratings trigger, we maintain a minimum of $100 million in unused committed credit at all times.
 
(4)   The international homebuilding operations maintain a £100 million secured, committed, multi-bank revolving credit facility and a £10 million secured, committed bonding facility. These facilities are not guaranteed by, nor is there recourse to, Centex Corporation. The international homebuilding operations also maintain a £20 million unsecured, uncommitted credit facility guaranteed by Centex Corporation.

(5)   CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies and Home Equity share in a $500 million secured, committed credit facility to finance mortgage inventory. CTX Mortgage Company, LLC and its related companies also maintain $210 million of secured, committed mortgage warehouse facilities to finance mortgages. Home Equity also maintains a $10 million secured, committed mortgage warehouse facility to finance mortgages.
 
(6)   The amount of available capacity consists of $4.58 billion of committed capacity and $36.1 million of uncommitted capacity as of June 30, 2004. Although we believe that the uncommitted capacity is currently available, there can be no assurance that the lenders under these facilities would elect to make advances if and when requested to do so.

     CTX Mortgage Company, LLC finances its inventory of mortgage loans held for sale principally through sales of conforming and Jumbo “A” loans to HSF-I. HSF-I acquires mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage Company, LLC, holds them for a period of 45 to 60 days and then resells them into the secondary market. HSF-I obtains the funds needed to purchase eligible mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage Company, LLC by issuing (1) short-term secured liquidity notes, (2) medium-term debt and (3) subordinated certificates. As of June 30, 2004, HSF-I had outstanding (1) short-term secured liquidity notes rated A1+ by Standard & Poor’s, or S&P, and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service, or Moody’s and (2) subordinated certificates maturing in September 2004, November 2005 and June 2006, extendable for up to five years, rated BBB by S&P and Baa2 by Moody’s. The purpose of this arrangement is to allow CTX Mortgage Company, LLC to reduce the cost of financing the mortgage loans originated by it and to improve its liquidity. Because HSF-I is a consolidated entity, the debt, interest income and interest expense of HSF-I are reflected in the financial statements of Financial Services.

     Home Equity finances its inventory of mortgage loans held for investment principally through HSF-II, a wholly-owned, consolidated entity, under a revolving sales agreement that expires upon final payment of the senior and subordinated debt issued by HSF-II. This arrangement, where HSF-II has committed to finance all eligible loans, gives Home Equity daily access to HSF-II’s capacity of $2.5 billion. HSF-II obtains funds by issuing (1) short-term secured liquidity notes, (2) medium-term debt and (3) subordinated notes. As of June 30, 2004, HSF-II had outstanding (1) short-term secured liquidity notes rated A1+ by S&P, P-1 by Moody’s and F1+ by Fitch Ratings, or Fitch and (2) subordinated notes rated BBB by S&P, Baa2 by Moody’s and BBB by Fitch. Because HSF-II is a consolidated entity, the debt, interest income and interest expense of HSF-II are reflected in the financial statements of Financial Services.

     Under our debt covenants, we are required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios and a minimum tangible net worth. At June 30, 2004, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

     As of June 30, 2004, our short-term debt was $2.32 billion, all of which was applicable to Financial Services. Certain of our short-term borrowings vary on a seasonal basis and are generally financed at prevailing market interest rates under our commercial paper program.

CERTAIN OFF-BALANCE SHEET OBLIGATIONS

     The following is a summary of certain off-balance sheet arrangements and other obligations and their possible effects on our liquidity and capital resources.

Joint Ventures

     We conduct a portion of our land acquisition, development and other activities through our participation in joint ventures in which we hold less than a majority interest. These land related activities typically require substantial capital, and partnering with other developers allows Home Building to share the risks and rewards of ownership while providing for efficient asset utilization. Our investment in these non-consolidated joint ventures was $186.5 million and $140.1 million at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. These joint ventures had total outstanding secured construction debt of approximately $274.6 million and $202.2 million at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. We are liable, on a contingent basis, through guarantees, letters of credit or other arrangements, with respect to a portion of the construction debt of certain of the joint ventures, which we refer to as the recourse joint ventures. Our maximum potential liability with respect to the debt of the recourse joint ventures, based on our ownership percentage of the recourse joint ventures, is approximately $70.3 million and $73.2 million at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. For certain of the recourse joint ventures, which represents approximately $66.9 million and $69.9 million of our maximum potential liability for the debt of all the recourse joint ventures at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively, we become liable up to the maximum amount for the recourse joint venture only to the extent that the construction debt exceeds a certain percentage of the value of the project. At June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004, we were not liable for any of this debt based on the values of the related projects as of such dates. For certain of the joint ventures, we have also guaranteed the completion of

the project by the joint ventures and agreed to indemnify the construction lender for certain environmental liabilities with respect to the project. In accordance with the provisions of FIN 46, we determine if we are the primary beneficiary of joint ventures based upon analysis of the variability of the expected gains and losses of the joint venture. Based on this evaluation, if we are the primary beneficiary, the joint venture is consolidated.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

     Some of our critical accounting policies require the use of judgment in their application or require estimates of inherently uncertain matters. Our accounting policies are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles; however, a change in the facts and circumstances of the underlying transactions could significantly change the application of the accounting policies and the resulting financial statement impact. Listed below are those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Housing projects and land held for development and sale are stated at the lower of cost (including direct construction costs, capitalized interest and real estate taxes) or fair value less cost to sell. Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. We assess these assets for recoverability in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” or SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. These evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If these assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No significant impairments of long-lived assets were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2004.

Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired. See Note (F), “Goodwill,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the changes in goodwill by segment. We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” or SFAS No. 142, effective April 1, 2001. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment (conducted as of January 1), at the reporting unit level, by applying a fair value-based test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment has occurred. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow or market valuation approach. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If the goodwill is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair value of the future cash flows. We had no impairment of goodwill in the three months ended June 30, 2004.

Land Held Under Option Agreements Not Owned

     In order to ensure the future availability of land for homebuilding, the Company enters into lot option purchase agreements with unaffiliated third parties. Under the option agreements, the Company pays a stated deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land at a future time, usually at predetermined prices. These options generally do not contain performance requirements from the Company nor obligate the Company to purchase the land.

     The Company has evaluated those entities with which we entered into lot option agreements in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as revised (“FIN 46”). The provisions of FIN 46 require the Company to consolidate the financial results of a variable interest entity if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Variable interest entities are entities in which (1) equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest and/or (2) the entity is unable to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the owner or investor that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses and/or receives a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected residual returns.

     The Company determines if it is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities based upon analysis of the variability of the expected gains and losses of the variable interest entity. Expected gains and losses of the variable interest entity are highly dependent upon management’s estimates of the variability and probabilities of future land prices, the probabilities of expected cash flows and entitlement risks related to the underlying land, among other factors. Based on this evaluation, if the Company is the primary beneficiary of those entities with which we have entered into lot option agreements, the variable interest entity is consolidated. For purposes of consolidation, to the extent financial statements are available, the Company consolidates the assets and liabilities of the variable interest entity. If financial statements for the variable interest entity are not available, the Company records the remaining purchase price of land in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption, land held under option agreements not owned, with a corresponding increase in minority interests. Lot option deposits related to these options are reclassified to land held under option agreements not owned.

     See Note (J), “Land Held Under Option Agreements Not Owned and Other Land Deposits,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the results of our analysis of lot option agreements.

Valuation of Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Investment

     Home Equity originates and purchases loans in accordance with standard underwriting criteria. The underwriting standards are primarily intended to assess the creditworthiness of the mortgagee, the value of the mortgaged property and the adequacy of the property as collateral for the home equity loan.

     Home Equity establishes an allowance for losses by recording a provision for losses in the statement of consolidated earnings when it believes a loss has occurred. When Home Equity determines that a residential mortgage loan held for investment is partially or fully uncollectible, the estimated loss is charged against the allowance for losses. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time the recovery is collected.

Table of Contents

     We believe that the allowance for losses is sufficient to provide for credit losses in the existing residential mortgage loans held for investment, which include real estate owned. We evaluate the allowance on an aggregate basis considering, among other things, the relationship of the allowance to residential mortgage loans held for investment and historical credit losses. The allowance reflects our judgment of the present loss exposure at the end of the reporting period. A range of expected credit losses is estimated using historical losses, static pool loss curves and delinquency modeling. These tools take into consideration historical information regarding delinquency and loss severity experience and apply that information to the portfolio at each reporting date.

     Although we consider the allowance for losses on residential mortgage loans held for investment reflected in our consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be sufficient over time to cover ultimate losses. This allowance may prove to be insufficient due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers or industries. See Note (E), “Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Investment,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the changes in the allowance for losses.

Mortgage Securitization Residual Interest

     Home Equity uses mortgage securitizations to finance its mortgage loan portfolio. For securitizations prior to April 2000, which Home Equity accounted for as sales, Home Equity retained a mortgage securitization residual interest, or MSRI. The MSRI represents the present value of Home Equity’s right to receive, over the life of the securitization, the excess of the weighted-average coupon on the loans securitized over the interest rates on the securities sold, a normal servicing fee, a trustee fee and an insurance fee, where applicable, net of the credit losses relating to the loans securitized. Home Equity estimates the fair value of MSRI through the application of discounted cash flow analysis. Such analysis requires the use of various assumptions, the most significant of which are anticipated prepayments (principal reductions in excess of contractually scheduled reductions), estimated future credit losses and the discount rate applied to future cash flows.

Loan Origination Reserve

     CTX Mortgage Company, LLC has established a liability for anticipated losses associated with loans originated based upon, among other factors, historical loss rates and current trends in loan originations. This liability includes losses associated with certain borrower payment defaults, credit quality issues, or misrepresentation and reflects management’s judgment of the loss exposure at the end of the reporting period.

     Although we consider the loan origination reserve reflected in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004 to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this reserve will prove to be sufficient over time to cover ultimate losses in connection with our loan originations. This reserve may prove to be inadequate due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers or industries.

Warranty Accruals

     Home Building offers a ten-year limited warranty for most homes constructed and sold in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship in the first two years of the home and certain designated components or structural elements of the home in the third through tenth years. In California, effective January 1, 2003, Home Building began following the statutory provisions

44


Table of Contents

of Senate Bill 800, which in part provides a statutory warranty to customers and a statutory dispute resolution process. Home Building estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty program for which it will be responsible and records a liability at the time each home is closed. Factors that affect Home Building’s warranty liability include the number of homes closed, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. Home Building periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Although we consider the warranty accruals reflected in our consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this accrual will prove to be sufficient over time to cover ultimate losses.

Insurance Accruals

     We have certain deductible limits under our workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies for which reserves are actuarially determined based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Projection of losses concerning these liabilities is subject to a high degree of variability due to factors such as claim settlement patterns, litigation trends and legal interpretations, among others. Although we consider the insurance accruals reflected in our consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this accrual will prove to be sufficient over time to cover ultimate losses.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     During March 2004, the FASB issued an exposure draft entitled “Share-Based Payment,” which would amend SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 95, “Statements of Cash Flows.” Share-based payments are transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (1) equity instruments of the enterprise or (2) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Among other items, the exposure draft may require the Company to change its method of valuing share-based payments and its method of accruing compensation costs for awards with graded vesting schedules (that is, awards for which different parts vest at different times). The exposure draft is not final and is subject to a comment period that ended June 30, 2004. Although the exposure draft and its eventual effective date are subject to revision, the proposed effective date of the exposure draft is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. If the exposure draft is implemented in its current form, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Various sections of this Report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the context of the statement and generally arise when we are discussing our beliefs, estimates or expectations. These statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but instead represent only our belief at the time the statements were made regarding future events, which are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what we express or forecast in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this Report are made as of the date hereof, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from expectations expressed in this Report will increase with the passage of time. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to reflect future events or changes in our expectations.

     In addition to the specific risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report, the following risks and uncertainties may affect our business, operations, financial condition or results of operations:

  Our Home Building operations are sensitive to changes in general economic conditions, including levels of employment, consumer confidence and income, availability of financing, interest rate levels and changes in the economic condition of the local markets in which we operate.
 
  Our Home Building operations depend to a significant extent upon our being able to acquire land that is suitable for residential development at acceptable prices and in locations that are desirable to us. Any increases in the cost or reductions in the supply of suitable land for development could affect the revenues or operating earnings of our Home Building operations.
 
  Our Home Building operations may be adversely affected by increases in interest rates. The majority of our home buyers finance their purchases of homes. In general, housing demand is likely to be adversely affected by significant increases in interest rates. If mortgage interest rates increase significantly and the ability or willingness of prospective buyers to finance home purchases is adversely affected, our operating results may be adversely affected.
 
  Our Home Building and Construction Services operations could be adversely affected by fluctuating lumber prices and supply, as well as shortages of other materials, including insulation, drywall, concrete, carpenters, electricians and plumbers. In addition, both our Home Building and Construction Services operations are subject to risks and uncertainties involving the cost and availability of labor and labor disputes. These factors could cause delays in construction that could have an adverse effect upon our Home Building and Construction Services operations.
 
  Our international homebuilding operations are affected by fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar as compared to the British pound sterling and changes in the British economy to the extent those changes affect the homebuilding market in the United Kingdom. We do not currently use any hedging instruments or other strategies to manage currency risks related to fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar or the British pound sterling.
 
  Our Home Building operations are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including seasonal variations, adverse weather conditions, the general demand for housing in national and regional markets and new construction and the resale market for existing homes.
 
  Although national demand for commercial construction is relatively stable, individual markets do experience moderate cyclicality and can be sensitive to overall capital spending trends in the economy, changes in federal and state appropriations for construction projects, financing and capital availability for commercial real estate and competitive pressures on the availability and pricing of construction projects.
 
  Our Construction Services operations are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including the timing of new awards and the funding of such awards; adverse weather conditions; cancellations of, or changes in the scope to, existing contracts; the ability to meet performance or schedule guarantees and cost overruns.
 
  An increase in interest rates could have an adverse affect on our Financial Services operations. The operations of CTX Mortgage Company, LLC are influenced by borrowers’ perceptions of and reactions to interest rates. Any significant increase in mortgage rates above currently prevailing levels could adversely affect the volume of loan originations due to further curtailment of refinancing activity.

  Our Home Equity operations involve holding residential mortgage loans for investment and establishing an allowance for credit losses on these loans. Although the amount of this allowance reflects our judgment as to our present loss exposure on these loans, there can be no assurance that it will be sufficient to cover any losses that may ultimately be incurred.
 
  All of our businesses operate in very competitive environments, which are characterized by competition from a number of other homebuilders, mortgage lenders, and contractors in each of the markets in which we operate. Any increase in competition has the potential to reduce the number of homes we sell, or to compel us to accept reduced profit margins in order to maintain sales volume.
 
  We are subject to various federal, state and local statutes, rules and regulations that could affect our businesses, including those concerning zoning, construction, protecting the environment and health. In addition, our businesses could be affected by changes in federal income tax policy, federal mortgage loan financing programs and other changes in regulation or policy.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our direct debt obligations, on mortgage loans receivable, residual interest in mortgage securitizations and securitizations classified as debt. We utilize derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, in conjunction with our overall strategy to manage the debt outstanding that is subject to changes in interest rates. We utilize forward sale commitments to mitigate the risk associated with the majority of our mortgage loan portfolio. Other than the forward commitments and interest rate swaps discussed earlier, we do not utilize forward or option contracts on foreign currencies or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments.

     There have been no material changes in our market risk since March 31, 2004. For further information regarding our market risk, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     An evaluation has been performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date of the foregoing evaluation that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
