Disclosure Statement
This
presentation
contains
forward-looking
statements.
All
statements
that
are
not
statements
of
historical
fact,
including
statements
about
the
Company’s
beliefs
and
expectations,
are
forward-looking
statements
within
the
meaning
of
the
federal
securities
laws,
and
should
be
evaluated
as
such.
Forward-looking
statements
include
information
concerning
the
Company’s
future
goals,
expected
growth,
market
conditions
and
outlook
(including
the
estimates,
forecasts,
statements
and
projections
relating
to
Florida
or
national
markets
prepared
by
John
Burns
Real
Estate
Consulting),
expected
liquidity
and
possible
or
assumed
future
results
of
operations,
including
descriptions
of
its
business
plan
and
strategies.
These
forward-looking
statements
may
be
identified
by
the
use
of
such forward-
looking
terminology,
including
the
terms
“believe,”

The
Company

Although
the
Company
believes
that
these
forward-looking
statements
and
projections
are
based
on
reasonable
assumptions
at
the
time

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Gross Margin from Homes Delivered
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have provided information in this
presentation relating to adjusted gross margin from homes delivered, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below).
Adjusted Gross Margin from Homes Delivered
We
calculate
adjusted
gross
margin
from
homes
delivered
by
subtracting
the
gross
margin
from
land
and
home
sites,
if
any,
from
Homebuilding
gross
margin
to
arrive
at
gross
margin
from
homes
delivered.
Adjusted
gross
margin
from
homes
delivered
is
calculated
by
adding
asset
impairments,
if
any,
and
capitalized
interest
in
cost
of
sales
to
gross
margin
from
homes
delivered.
Management
uses
adjusted
gross
margin
from
homes
delivered
to
evaluate
operating
performance
in
our
Homebuilding
segment
and
make
strategic
decisions
regarding
sales
price,
construction
and
development
pace,
product
mix
and
other
operating
decisions.
We
believe
that
adjusted
gross
margin
from
homes
delivered
is
relevant
and
useful
to
investors
and
other
interested
parties
for
evaluating
our
comparative
operating
performance
from
period
to
period
and
among
companies
within
the
homebuilding
industry
as
it
is
reflective
of
overall
profitability
during
any
given
reporting
period.
This
measure
is
considered
a
non-GAAP
financial
measure
and
should
be
considered
in
addition
to,
rather
than
as
a
substitute
for,
the
comparable
GAAP
financial
measures
when
evaluating
our
operating
performance.
Although
other
companies
in
the
homebuilding
industry
report
similar
information,
the
methods
used
by
such
companies
may
differ
from
our
methodology
and,
therefore,
may
not
be
comparable.
We
urge
investors
and
other
interested
parties
to
understand
the
methods
used
by
other
companies
in
the
homebuilding
industry
to
calculate
gross
margins
and
any
adjustments
to
such
amounts
before
comparing
our
measures
to
those
of
such
other
companies.
The table below reconciles adjusted gross margin from homes delivered to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Homebuilding
gross margin, for the periods presented herein.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued)
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted
EBITDA
measures
performance
by
adjusting
net
income
(loss)
attributable
to
common
shareholders
of
WCI
Communities,
Inc.
to
exclude,
if
any,
interest
expense,
capitalized
interest
in
cost
of
sales,
income
taxes,
depreciation
(‘‘EBITDA’’),
preferred
stock
dividends,
income
(loss)
from
discontinued
operations,
other
income,
stock-based
and
other
non-cash
long-term
incentive
compensation
expense,
asset
impairments
and
expenses
related
to
early
repayment
of
debt.
We
believe
that
the
presentation
of
Adjusted
EBITDA
provides
useful
information
to
investors
and
other
interested
parties
regarding
our
results
of
operations
because
it
assists
those
parties
and
us
when
analyzing
and
benchmarking
the
performance
and
value
of
our
business.
We
also
believe
that
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
useful
as
a
measure
of
comparative
operating
performance
from
period
to
period
and
among
companies
in
the
homebuilding
industry
as
it
is
reflective
of
changes
in
pricing
decisions,
cost
controls
and
other
factors
that
affect
operating
performance,
and
it
removes
the
effects
of
our
capital
structure
(such
as
preferred
stock
dividends
and
interest
expense),
asset
base
(primarily
depreciation),
items
outside
of
our
control
(primarily
income
taxes)
and
the
volatility
related
to
the
timing
and
extent
of
non-operating
activities
(such
as
discontinued
operations
and
asset
impairments).
Accordingly,
we
believe
that
this
measure
is
useful
for
comparing
general
operating
performance
from
period
to
period.
Other
companies
may
define
Adjusted
EBITDA
differently
and,
as
a
result,
our
measure
of
Adjusted
EBITDA
may
not
be
directly
comparable
to
Adjusted
EBITDA
of
other
companies.
Although
we
use
Adjusted
EBITDA
as
a
financial
measure
to
assess
the
performance
of
our
business,
the
use
of
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
limited
because
it
does
not
include
certain
material
costs,
such
as
interest
and
income
taxes,
necessary
to
operate
our
business.
Adjusted
EBITDA
and
EBITDA
should
be
considered
in
addition
to,
and
not
as
substitutes
for,
net
income
(loss)
in
accordance
with
GAAP
as
a
measure
of
performance.

presentation
of
EBITDA

Adjusted
EBITDA
should
not
be
construed
as
an
indication
that
our
future
results
will
be
unaffected
by
unusual
or
nonrecurring
items.
Our
EBITDA-based
measures
have
limitations
as
analytical
tools
and,
therefore,
investors
and
other
interested
parties
should
not
consider
them
in
isolation
or
as
substitutes
for
analyses
of
our
results
as
reported
under
GAAP.
Some
such
limitations
are:
Because
of
these
limitations,
our
EBITDA-based
measures
are
not
intended
to
be
alternatives
to
net
income
(loss),
indicators
of
our
operating
performance,
alternatives
to
any
other
measure
of
performance
in
conformity
with
GAAP
or
alternatives
to
cash
flow
provided
by
(used
in)
operating
activities
as
measures
of
liquidity.
Investors
and
other
interested
parties
should
therefore
not
place
undue
reliance
on
our
EBITDA-
based
measures
or
ratios
calculated
using
those
measures.
Our
GAAP-based
measures
can
be

statements
in
Item

of
the
Quarterly
Report

Form

we

they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;
they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows;
they do not reflect the interest expense necessary to service our debt; and
other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, thereby limiting their usefulness as comparative
measures.
