TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On April 30, 2007, Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), announced its
results of operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. A copy of the
Corporation’s press release (the “Press Release”) announcing these results is being furnished as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated in this Item 2.02 in its entirety by reference.
The Press Release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Housing operating earnings is a
non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Corporation as housing revenues less housing cost
of sales less selling, general and administrative expenses. Housing operating margin is a non-GAAP
financial measure and is defined by the Corporation as housing operating earnings divided by total
housing revenues. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the
attachments to the Press Release. For additional information concerning the Corporation’s use of
these non-GAAP financial measures, see the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2007, which is
also available on the Corporation’s web site at www.centex.com
in the Investors area (SEC Filings subsection).
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for the comparable GAAP measures. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures
because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and they may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and
charges being excluded. The Corporation compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP
financial measures as supplements to the GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be
read only in conjunction with the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
