(5) The peer group used for this purpose is the Standard & Poor’s 500 Homebuilding Index, which is the same index that we use in our 2024 Form 10-K. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Homebuilding Index, respectively.

(6) The amounts shown reflect the net income reported in the Company’s audited financial statements for the corresponding year.

(7) Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, which is a non-GAAP measure, means the Company’s pre-tax income from operations, excluding extraordinary items, such as asset impairments and certain other non-cash write-offs. For 2020, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to the sum of (a) income before income taxes, (b) impairment of inventory and investment in joint venture arrangements and (c) stucco-related charges, net of recoveries, included in “Costs and expenses: Land and housing;” for 2021, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to (a) the sum of (i) income before income taxes and (ii) loss on early extinguishment of debt less (b) a one-time gain included in “Other income”; for 2022, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to the sum of (a) income before income taxes and (b) asset impairment charges; for 2023, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to the sum of (a) income before income taxes and (b) asset impairment charges; and for 2024, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to the sum of (a) income before income taxes and (b) asset impairment charges, in each case as reflected in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. Adjusted Pre-Tax Income represents the most important performance measure used by the Company to link the compensation actually paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers to Company performance for 2024. We may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

Financial Performance Measures

We structure our executive compensation program to award compensation that depends on, and rewards executives on the basis of, individual and Company short- and long-term performance and thereby fosters a pay-for-performance culture. The Compensation Committee selects the metrics used for both our short-term and long-term incentive awards because it believes they effectively drive financial and operational performance and incentivize our executives to pursue actions that create sustainable shareholder value.

For 2020, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to the sum of (a) income before income taxes, (b) impairment of inventory and investment in joint venture arrangements and (c) stucco-related charges, net of recoveries, included in “Costs and expenses: Land and housing;” for 2021, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to (a) the sum of (i) income before income taxes and (ii) loss on early extinguishment of debt less (b) a one-time gain included in “Other income”; for 2022, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to the sum of (a) income before income taxes and (b) asset impairment charges; for 2023, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to the sum of (a) income before income taxes and (b) asset impairment charges; and for 2024, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income was equal to the sum of (a) income before income taxes and (b) asset impairment charges, in each case as reflected in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. Adjusted Pre-Tax Income represents the most important performance measure used by the Company to link the compensation actually paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers to Company performance for 2024.
