FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PULTEGROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Bloomfield Hills, MI, July 28, 2011 – PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) announced today financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. For the quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $55 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with net income of $76 million, or $0.20 per share, in the prior year.

PulteGroup’s second quarter results included $41 million, or $0.11 per share, of land, mortgage, organizational restructuring and debt repurchase charges. Prior year results included $48 million, or $0.13 per share, of land, mortgage and organizational restructuring charges, offset by a net benefit from income taxes of $82 million, or $0.22 per share.

“The 2011 U.S. housing market continues to operate within the range of expectations we projected at the beginning of the year,” said Richard J. Dugas, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of PulteGroup. “It is a positive sign that buyer demand appears to have stabilized following expiration of the homebuyer tax credit last spring, but residential construction volumes are at historically low levels and market conditions remain highly competitive. In this operating environment, we are focused on reducing our construction and overhead costs and enhancing our product offerings.”

Dugas continued, “I was pleased with the sequential improvement in our operating performance during the quarter, including a 30 basis point increase in adjusted gross margins and a $4 million reduction in homebuilding SG&A expenses. We also took steps during the quarter to further consolidate our organizational cost structure, which we estimate will result in overhead savings of approximately $50 million annually.”

Second Quarter Results

Revenue from home sales in the second quarter decreased 29% from the prior year to $900 million. Lower revenue for the period was driven by a 28% decrease in closings, combined with a 1% decrease in average selling price to $248,000. Prior year results benefitted from increased demand stimulated by a first-time homebuyer tax credit which expired April 30, 2010.

For the quarter, the Company’s homebuilding operations generated a pre-tax loss of $28 million, compared with pre-tax income of $12 million for the same period last year. Second quarter cost of sales related to home sales totaled $790 million, inclusive of $3 million of land-related charges and $41 million of capitalized interest expense. For the prior year, cost of sales related to home sales was $1.1 billion inclusive of $26 million of land-related charges and $33 million of capitalized interest expense. Excluding land-related charges, interest expense and merger-related costs, home sale gross margin for the second quarter 2011 was 17.2%, unchanged from the prior year and up 30 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2011.

Homebuilding SG&A expense for the quarter, inclusive of $5 million in restructuring costs, of $132 million decreased by $15 million from the comparable prior year period and by $4 million from the first quarter 2011.

Net new home orders for the second quarter were 4,222, which was consistent with the prior year and down 3% compared with the first quarter of 2011. PulteGroup’s quarter-end backlog was up 2% to 5,777 homes with a value of $1.6 billion, compared with a prior year backlog of 5,644 homes with a value of $1.6 billion.

The Company’s financial services operations reported a second quarter pre-tax loss of $17 million, compared with a prior year pre-tax loss of $9 million. Lower loan originations for the quarter, down 32% to 2,217 loans, were due to lower closing volumes in the Company’s homebuilding operations. Mortgage capture rate for the quarter was 77% compared with 76% for the same quarter last year.

Current and prior year results for the Company’s financial services operations included charges of $19 million and $17 million, respectively, related to potential loan repurchase obligations. The Company indicated that it has not experienced a material change in repurchase trends, but recorded the current year adjustment primarily to reflect current expectations that repurchase activity will now extend through 2012 rather than being substantially complete by the end of 2011.

During the second quarter, the Company used available cash to repurchase $53 million of senior debt in open market transactions, resulting in a charge of approximately $3 million. “The investment of our available cash to repurchase these notes, with maturities in 2012 and 2013, represents a cash accretive use of our capital,” said Robert O’Shaughnessy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We ended the quarter with $1.2 billion of cash, and we will continue to evaluate opportunities to allocate our capital in a manner that is consistent with our goal of improving shareholder returns.”

Six Month Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, PulteGroup reported a net loss of $95 million, or $0.25 per share, compared with net income of $64 million, or $0.17 per share, in the prior year period. PulteGroup’s six month results included $45 million, or $0.12 per share, of land, mortgage, organizational restructuring and debt repurchase charges. Prior year results included $60 million, or $0.16 per share, of land, mortgage and organizational restructuring charges, offset by a net benefit from income taxes of $84 million, or $0.22 per share.

Consolidated revenue for the period was $1.7 billion, compared with $2.3 billion for the first six months of 2010.

Revenue from home sales was $1.7 billion for the period, compared with prior year revenue of $2.2 billion. The year-over-year decrease in revenue resulted from a 23% decrease in the number of homes closed to 6,774, combined with a 2% decrease in average selling price to $248,000. Prior year results benefitted from increased demand stimulated by a first-time homebuyer tax credit which expired April 30, 2010.

A conference call discussing PulteGroup’s second quarter 2011 results is scheduled for Thursday, July 28, 2011, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Interested investors can access the live webcast via PulteGroup’s corporate website at www.pultegroupinc.com.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains information about home sale gross margin excluding impairments, interest expense, and merger-related costs, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, home sale gross margin (which we define as home sale revenues less home cost of revenues) as a measure of our operating performance. Management and our local divisions use this measure in evaluating the operating performance of each community and in making strategic decisions regarding sales pricing, construction and development pace, product mix, and other daily operating decisions. We believe it is a relevant and useful measure to investors for evaluating our performance through gross profit generated on homes delivered during a given period and for comparing our operating performance to other companies in the homebuilding industry. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, the methods used may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate gross margins and any adjustments thereto before comparing our measures to that of such other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to home sale gross margin, a GAAP financial measure, which management believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to this non-GAAP financial measure ($000’s omitted):
