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 (both such terms are defined below), and net debt to net capitalization. Our GAAP-based measures can be found in our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that we plan to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before May 2, 2016. The presentation of historical non-GAAP measures herein does not reflect or endorse any forecast of future financial performance. 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 back 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 (i) meaningful because it eliminates the impact that our indebtedness and asset impairments have on gross margin and (ii) relevant and useful to shareholders, 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. However, 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, they may calculate this measure differently than we do and, therefore, it may not be comparable. We urge shareholders, 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.


Slide 14

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued) 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’’), income (loss) from discontinued operations, other income, stock-based compensation expense, asset impairments and expenses related to early repayment of debt. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to shareholders, 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. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of our capital structure (such as 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 in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable. 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Our presentation of EBITDA and 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, shareholders, 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: 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 that is 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.  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 under GAAP or alternatives to cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities as measures of liquidity. Shareholders, investors and other interested parties should therefore not place undue reliance on our EBITDA-based measures or ratios calculated using those measures.  


Slide 15

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (continued) The table below reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income attributable to common shareholders of WCI Communities, Inc., for the periods presented herein. Represents capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales on home deliveries and land and home site sales. Represents the expense recorded in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations related to its stock-based compensation plans.


Slide 16

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued) Net Debt to Net Capitalization We believe that net debt to net capitalization provides useful information to shareholders, investors and other interested parties regarding our financial position and cash and debt management. It is also a relevant financial measure for understanding the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain future financing. However, 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 leverage. By deducting cash and cash equivalents from our outstanding debt, we provide a measure of our debt that considers our cash position. We believe that this approach provides useful information because the ratio of debt to capital does not consider our cash and cash equivalents and we believe that a debt ratio net of cash, such as net debt to net capitalization, provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered. Shareholders, investors and other interested parties may also find this information helpful when comparing our leverage to the leverage of other companies in our industry. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, they may calculate this measure differently than we do and, therefore, it may not be comparable. We urge shareholders, investors and other interested parties to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate leverage ratios such as net debt to net capitalization, including any adjustments to such amounts, before comparing our measures to those of such other companies. The table below presents the computations of our net debt to net capitalization and reconciles such amounts to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, debt to capital. Debt to capital is computed by dividing the carrying value of our total outstanding debt, as reported on our consolidated balance sheets, by total capital as calculated above. Net debt to net capitalization is computed by dividing net debt by net capitalization.
