(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of presentation

PulteGroup, Inc. is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States ("U.S."), and our common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PHM”. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "PulteGroup", the "Company", "we", "us", and "our" used herein refer to PulteGroup, Inc. and its subsidiaries. While our subsidiaries engage primarily in the homebuilding business, we also engage in mortgage banking operations, conducted through Pulte Mortgage LLC (“Pulte Mortgage”), title services, and insurance brokerage operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Subsequent events

We evaluated subsequent events up until the time the financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Home sale contract assets consist of cash from home closings held in escrow for our benefit, typically for less than five days, which are considered deposits in-transit and classified as cash. Contract liabilities include customer deposit liabilities related to sold but undelivered homes, which totaled ~~$308.9~~$342.4 million and $250.8 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

See Note 8 for information on warranties and related obligations.

Land sale revenues - We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. Land sales are generally outright sales of specified land parcels with cash consideration due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we closed on a number of land sale transactions that generated gains totaling $28.9 million, as the proceeds from the sales exceeded the cost basis of the land. Substantially all performance obligations related to these transactions were satisfied at closing.

Financial services revenues - Loan origination fees, commitment fees, and certain direct loan origination costs are recognized as incurred. Expected gains and losses from the sale of residential mortgage loans and their related servicing rights are included in the measurement of written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through Financial Services revenues at the time of commitment. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these loans are reflected in Financial Services revenues as they occur. Interest income is accrued from the date a mortgage loan is originated until the loan is sold. Mortgage servicing fees represent fees earned for servicing loans for various investors. Servicing fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance and are credited to income when related mortgage payments are received or the sub-servicing fees are earned.

Revenues associated with our title operations are recognized as closing services are rendered and title insurance policies are issued, both of which generally occur as each home is closed. Insurance brokerage commissions relate to commissions on homeowner and other insurance policies placed with third party carriers through various agency channels. Our performance obligations for policy renewal commissions are satisfied upon issuance of the initial ~~policy. The~~policy, and related contract assets for estimated future renewal commissions are included in other assets and totaled ~~$28.8~~$30.4 million at ~~March 31, 2018, of which~~September 30, 2018. Contract assets totaling $27.7 million ~~was~~were recognized on January 1, 2018, in conjunction with the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606"). Refer to "New accounting pronouncements" within Note 1 for further discussion.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the “Numerator”) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for unvested shares (the “Denominator”) for the period. Computing diluted earnings per share is similar to computing basic earnings per share, except that the Denominator is increased to include the dilutive effects of stock options, unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted share units, and other potentially dilutive instruments. Any stock options that have an exercise price greater than the average market price are considered to be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

In accordance with ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share", the two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to an earnings allocation formula that adjusts the Numerator for dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Our outstanding restricted share awards, restricted share units, and deferred shares are considered participating securities. The following table presents the earnings per common share (000's omitted, except per share data):

Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale

Substantially all of the loans originated by us are sold in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, residential mortgage loans available-for-sale had an aggregate fair value of ~~$385.5~~$349.8 million and $570.6 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of ~~$374.4~~$341.8 million and $553.5 million, respectively. The net gain (loss) resulting from changes in fair value of these loans totaled ~~$(0.1)~~$(0.7) million and ~~$(2.0)~~$0.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $(1.0) million and $(3.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These changes in fair value were substantially offset by changes in the fair value of corresponding hedging instruments. Net gains from the sale of mortgages were ~~$27.0~~$27.8 million and ~~$25.3~~$27.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, ~~are~~and $83.9 million and $80.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and have been included in Financial Services revenues.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

We are party to interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") with customers resulting from our mortgage origination operations. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had aggregate IRLCs of ~~$375.3~~$434.9 million and $210.9 million, respectively, which were originated at interest rates prevailing at the date of commitment. Since we can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate the creditworthiness of these transactions through our normal credit policies.

We hedge our exposure to interest rate market risk relating to residential mortgage loans available-for-sale and IRLCs using forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to either purchase or sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, and whole loan investor commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments we use to minimize market risk during the period from the time we extend an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is sold to an investor. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had unexpired forward contracts of ~~$539.0~~$579.0 million and $522.0 million, respectively, and whole loan investor

commitments of ~~$186.1~~$171.4 million and $203.1 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs and other derivative financial instruments are recognized in Financial Services revenues, and the fair values are reflected in other assets or other liabilities, as applicable.

~~PULTEGROUP, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal. Gains and losses on IRLCs and residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are substantially offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. We are generally not exposed to variability in cash flows of derivative instruments for more than approximately 60 days.

New accounting pronouncements

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. We applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. We recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of $22.4 million, net of tax, as of January 1, 2018, due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606, with the impact primarily related to the recognition of a contract ~~asset~~assets for insurance brokerage commission renewals. There was not a material impact to revenues as a result of applying ASC 606 for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, and there have not been significant changes to our business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard.

We adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ~~ASU~~ No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), as of January 1, 2018, on a retrospective basis. ~~The~~ ASU 2016-15 addresses several specific cash flow issues.

Land option agreements

We enter into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Such contracts enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether and when to exercise our option, which reduces our financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. Option deposits and pre-acquisition costs (such as environmental testing, surveys, engineering, and entitlement costs) are capitalized if the costs are directly identifiable with the land under option, the costs would be capitalized if we owned the land, and acquisition of the property is probable. Such costs are reflected in other assets and are reclassified to inventory upon taking title to the land. We write off deposits and pre-acquisition costs when it becomes probable that we will not go forward with the project or recover the capitalized costs. Such decisions take into consideration changes in local market conditions, the timing of required land purchases, the availability and best use of necessary incremental capital, and other factors. We record any such write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs within other expense, net.

If an entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), our deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. No VIEs required consolidation at either ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 because we determined that we were not the VIEs' primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is generally limited to our deposits and pre-acquisition costs under the land option agreements.

Land-related charges

We incurred the following land-related charges in the second quarter of 2017 ($000's omitted):



	Statement of Operations Classification
	Statement of Operations Classification
Net realizable value adjustments ("NRV") - land held for sale	Land sale cost of revenues	$	81,006
Land inventory impairments	Home sale cost of revenues	31,487
Impairments of unconsolidated entities	Other expense, net	8,017
Write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs	Other expense, net	5,063
Total land-related charges		$	125,573

We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. The NRV adjustments outlined above resulted primarily from a plan we announced in May 2017 to sell select non-core and underutilized land parcels following a strategic review of our land portfolio, pursuant to which it was determined that we would sell certain inactive land parcels, representing approximately 17 communities and 4,600 lots. These land parcels were located in diverse geographic areas and no longer fit into our strategic plans. The land parcels identified for sale included: land requiring significant additional development spend that would not yield suitable returns; land in excess of near-term need; and land entitled for certain product types inconsistent with our primary offerings. As a consequence of the change in strategy with respect to the future use of these land parcels, we recorded NRV adjustments totaling $81.0 million relating to inventory with a pre-NRV carrying value of $151.0 million. The estimated fair values of these inactive land parcels held for sale were generally based on comparisons to market comparable transactions, letters of intent, active negotiations with market participants, or similar market-based information supplemented in certain instances by estimated future net cash flows discounted for inherent risk associated with each underlying asset.

Land inventory impairments relate to communities that are either active or that we intend to eventually open and build out. As part of the May 2017 strategic review, we decided to accelerate the monetization of two small communities primarily through a combination of changing the product offerings and lowering the sales prices within the communities. This decision resulted in land impairments of $31.5 million in the second quarter of 2017.

We determine the fair value of a community's inventory, and any related impairments, using a combination of discounted cash flow models and market comparable transactions, where available. These estimated cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to expected average selling prices, expected sales paces, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, and overhead costs. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models are specific to each community, which may be located in a variety of geographic markets, and offer homes at sales prices reflective of the product offering and market. Accordingly, determining the fair value of a community's inventory involves a number of variables, many of which are interrelated.

Our evaluations for impairments are based on our best estimates of the future cash flows to be generated from our communities. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in demand for new housing, the long life cycles of many communities, and potential changes in our strategy related to certain communities, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.

The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that reduce the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a sublimit of ~~$375.0~~$500.0 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or a base rate plus an applicable margin, as defined therein. ~~At March 31, 2018, we~~We had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2018 and ~~$226.3 million of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, and a maximum Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio (as each term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants. Our available and unused borrowings

Joint venture debt

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was ~~$57.8~~$49.5 million, of which ~~$57.0~~$49.4 million was related to one joint venture in which we have a 50% interest.

We have not fully completed our accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act. As discussed in the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the accounting for the Tax Act should be completed within one year from the Tax Act enactment. During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, we have made no material adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017. ~~Any adjustments~~Adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017 will be reflected upon the completion of our accounting for the Tax Act.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowance, of ~~$614.9~~$408.0 million and $645.3 million, respectively. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between estimated and actual results could result in changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets that could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the realization of deferred tax assets over time.

Unrecognized tax benefits represent the difference between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefits recognized for financial statement purposes. At ~~both March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $20.7 million and $48.6 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits and ~~$5.1~~$5.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of related accrued interest and penalties. It is reasonably possible within the next twelve months that our gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to ~~$39.9~~$12.0 million, excluding interest and penalties, primarily due to potential audit settlements.

7. Fair value disclosures

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” provides a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:



Level 1		Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2		Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3		Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

Our assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are summarized below ($000’s omitted):

Fair values for agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. Fair values for non-agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on purchase commitments from whole loan investors and other relevant market information available to management. Fair values for interest rate lock commitments, including the value of servicing rights, and forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are valued based on market prices for similar instruments. Fair values for whole loan commitments are based on market prices for similar instruments from the specific whole loan investor.

Certain assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The non-recurring fair values included in the above table represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value as of the respective balance sheet dates. See Note 2 forthe valuation techniques and inputs applied in determining the fair value of house and land inventory and land held for sale.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, Financial Services debt, and other notes payable approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and/or floating interest rate terms. The fair values of senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar issues. The carrying value of senior notes was $3.0 billion at both ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, ~~2017~~.2017.

8. Commitments and contingencies

Loan origination liabilities

Our mortgage operations may be responsible for losses associated with mortgage loans originated and sold to investors in the event of errors or omissions relating to representations and warranties made by us that the loans met certain requirements, including representations as to underwriting standards, the existence of primary mortgage insurance, and the validity of certain borrower representations in connection with the loan. In addition, certain trustees and investors continue to attempt to collect damages based on losses from loans that originated prior to 2009. Some of our mortgage subsidiaries are currently defendants in litigation related to such claims.

Our recorded liabilities for all such claims totaled $34.4 million and $34.6 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Determining the liabilities for anticipated losses requires a significant level of management judgment. Given the nature of these claims and the uncertainty regarding their ultimate resolution, actual costs could differ from our current estimates. ~~Loan origination reserves totaled $34.6 million at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.~~

Letters of credit and surety bonds

In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and surety bonds pursuant to certain performance-related obligations, as security for certain land option agreements, and under various insurance programs. The majority of these letters of credit and surety bonds are in support of our land development and construction obligations to various municipalities, other government agencies, and utility companies related to the construction of roads, sewers, and other infrastructure. We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds totaling ~~$226.3~~$219.6 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and $235.5 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2017. In the event any such letter of credit or surety bond is drawn, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit or surety bond. We do not believe that a material amount, if any, of the letters of credit or surety bonds will be drawn. Our surety bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather we are released from the surety bonds as the underlying contractual performance is completed. Because significant construction and development work has been performed related to projects that have not yet received final acceptance by the respective counterparties, the aggregate amount of surety bonds outstanding is in excess of the projected cost of the remaining work to be performed.

Litigation and regulatory matters

We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations.

We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing, or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.

Allowance for warranties

Home purchasers are provided with a limited warranty against certain building defects, including a one-year comprehensive limited warranty and coverage for certain other aspects of the home’s construction and operating systems for periods of up to and, in limited instances, exceeding 10 years. We estimate the costs to be incurred under these warranties and record liabilities in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect our warranty liabilities include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and the cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of the warranty liabilities for each geographic market in which we operate and adjust the amounts as necessary. Actual warranty costs in the future could differ from the current estimates. Changes to warranty liabilities were as follows ($000’s omitted):

Self-insured risks

We maintain, and require our subcontractors to maintain, general liability insurance coverage. We also maintain builders' risk, property, errors and omissions, workers' compensation, and other business insurance coverage. These insurance policies protect us against a portion of the risk of loss from claims. However, we retain a significant portion of the overall risk for such claims either through policies issued by our captive insurance subsidiaries or through our own self-insured per occurrence and aggregate retentions, deductibles, and claims in excess of available insurance policy limits.

Our general liability insurance includes coverage for certain construction defects. While construction defect claims can relate to a variety of circumstances, the majority of our claims relate to alleged problems with siding, plumbing, foundations and other concrete work, windows, roofing, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The availability of general liability insurance for the homebuilding industry and its subcontractors has become increasingly limited, and the insurance policies available require us to maintain significant per occurrence and aggregate retention levels. In certain instances, we may offer our subcontractors the opportunity to purchase insurance through one of our captive insurance subsidiaries or participate in a project-specific insurance program provided by us. Policies issued by our captive insurance subsidiaries represent self-insurance of these risks by us. This self-insured exposure is limited by reinsurance policies that we purchase. General liability coverage for the homebuilding industry is complex, and our coverage varies from policy year to policy year. Our insurance coverage requires a per occurrence deductible up to an overall aggregate retention level. Beginning with the first dollar, amounts paid to satisfy insured claims apply to our per occurrence and aggregate retention obligations. Any amounts incurred in excess of the occurrence or aggregate retention levels are covered by insurance up to our purchased coverage levels. Our insurance policies, including the captive insurance subsidiaries' reinsurance policies, are maintained with highly-rated underwriters for whom we believe counterparty default risk is not significant.

At any point in time, we are managing over 1,000 individual claims related to general liability, property, errors and omissions, workers' compensation, and other business insurance coverage. We reserve for costs associated with such claims (including expected claims management expenses) on an undiscounted basis at the time revenue is recognized for each home closing and evaluate the recorded liabilities based on actuarial analyses of our historical claims. The actuarial analyses calculate estimates of the ultimate net cost of all unpaid losses, including estimates for incurred but not reported losses ("IBNR"). IBNR represents losses related to claims incurred but not yet reported plus development on reported claims.

Our recorded reserves for all such claims totaled ~~$771.1~~$726.5 million and $758.8 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the vast majority of which relate to general liability claims. The recorded reserves include

PULTEGROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

loss estimates related to both (i) existing claims and related claim expenses and (ii) IBNR and related claim expenses. Liabilities related to IBNR and related claim expenses represented approximately ~~64%~~62% and 65% of the total general liability reserves at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The actuarial analyses that determine the IBNR portion of reserves consider a variety of factors, including the frequency and severity of losses, which are based on our historical claims experience supplemented by industry data. The actuarial analyses of the reserves also consider historical third party recovery rates and claims management expenses.

Housing market conditions have been volatile across most of our markets over the past ten years, and we believe such conditions can affect the frequency and cost of construction defect claims. Additionally, IBNR estimates comprise the majority of our liability and are subject to a high degree of uncertainty due to a variety of factors, including changes in claims reporting and resolution patterns, third party recoveries, insurance industry practices, the regulatory environment, and legal precedent. State regulations vary, but construction defect claims are reported and resolved over an extended period often exceeding ten years. Changes in the frequency and timing of reported claims and estimates of specific claim values can impact the underlying inputs and trends utilized in the actuarial analyses, which could have a material impact on the recorded reserves. Additionally,

~~PULTEGROUP, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

the amount of insurance coverage available for each policy period also impacts our recorded reserves. Because of the inherent uncertainty in estimating future losses and the timing of such losses related to these claims, actual costs could differ significantly from estimated costs.

Adjustments to reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. We reduced general liability reserves by $37.9 million and $19.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. These reductions were the result of changes in estimates driven by claim experience being less than anticipated in previous actuarial projections. These changes in actuarial estimates did not involve any changes in actuarial methodology but did impact the development of estimates for future periods, which resulted in adjustments to the IBNR portion of our recorded liabilities.

Costs associated with our insurance programs are classified within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

(b)	Includes net changes in amounts expected to be recovered from our insurance carriers, which are recorded in other assets (see below).

In certain instances, we have the ability to recover a portion of our costs under various insurance policies or from subcontractors or other third parties. Estimates of such amounts are recorded when recovery is considered probable. Such receivables are recorded in other assets and totaled ~~$217.1~~$151.2 million and $213.4 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The insurance receivables relate to costs incurred to perform corrective repairs, settle claims with customers, and other costs related to the continued progression of construction defect claims that we believe are insured. Given the complexity inherent with resolving construction defect claims in the homebuilding industry as described above, there generally exists a significant lag between our payment of claims and our reimbursements from applicable insurance carriers. In addition, disputes between homebuilders and carriers over coverage positions relating to construction defect claims are common. Resolution of claims with carriers involves the exchange of significant amounts of information and frequently involves legal action.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

~~Demand conditions continued~~We continue to ~~improve~~see U.S. housing demand being supported by a number of positive market dynamics, including an expanding economy, ongoing growth in the overall U.S. homebuilding market in the first quarter of 2018. Consistent with trends we have seen in recent quarters, buyer demand continues to benefit from the strength of the underlying economy, a very good jobs ~~market with~~and wages, low unemployment, ~~sustained~~and high consumer ~~confidence, and supportive demographics. These factors have offset the effects of increases in residential mortgage interest rates in recent months, and, combined with~~confidence. In addition, there is generally limited supply of new homes across the markets we serve as land and ~~existing homes in many U.S. markets,~~labor resources remain constrained. While recent buyer concerns around affordability due to the combination of increased home prices and higher mortgage rates appear to have ~~contributed to growth and improvement in many of our financial and operating metrics.~~impacted near term market dynamics, traffic trends indicate that buyer interest levels are still high.

Our investments have put isus in a position to open new communities, which are allowing us to grow the business, as evidenced by net new order dollars increasing ~~18%,~~7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year, and our backlog increasing by ~~30%~~5% to ~~$5.0~~$4.9 billion as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018. ~~Consistent~~While customer traffic to our communities has increased during 2018, we did experience lower than expected conversions of traffic to signups, especially among first-time and move-up buyers, beginning in May 2018 when mortgage rates increased. This resulted in only a 1% increase in our signups for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year. However, consistent with our efforts to drive enhanced operational performance, we ~~also~~ realized ~~improved gross margins and~~significant improvements in revenues, overhead leverage, and income before income taxes as compared to the prior year.

~~These~~ The favorable market conditions and our sizable backlog of orders give us confidence that we have the business well-positioned to deliver strong performance ~~throughout 2018, continue to use our capital to support future growth, and consistently return funds to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.~~for the balance of 2018. The following is a summary of our operating results by line of business ($000's omitted, except per share data):

Home sale revenues

Home sale revenues for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 were higher than the prior year by ~~$326.2 million.~~$516.3 million and $1.3 billion, respectively. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, the ~~21%~~25% increase was attributable to a ~~10%~~17% increase in closings and a 7% increase in average selling ~~price~~price. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the 24% increase was attributable to a 14% increase in closings and a 9% increase in ~~closings.~~average selling price. The increase in closings reflects the significant investments we have made and the resulting increase in our active ~~communities, combined with ongoing increases in the overall demand for new homes.~~communities. The higher average selling ~~price~~prices occurred across the majority of our markets and reflects shifts in product mix, including ~~a small shift toward move-up buyers as well as~~ a small increase in the mix of closings in Northern California, where our average selling prices are significantly higher than the Company average.

Home sale gross margins

Home sale gross margins were ~~23.6%~~24.0% and 23.9% for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to ~~23.2%~~23.9% and 22.7% for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2017.~~September 30, 2017, respectively. Gross margins for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 remain strong relative to historical levels and reflect a combination of factors, including shifts in community mix, ~~including~~ a small increase in the mix of closings in Northern California, ~~favorable pricing conditions in the majority of our markets,~~ and slightly lower amortized interest costs ~~(1.6%~~(170 bps and 160 bps for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to ~~1.7%~~180 bps for the same ~~period~~periods in 2017). ~~The supportive pricing environment that exists~~Gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 include the aforementioned land inventory impairments totaling $31.5 million, or 60 bps (see Note 2), and a warranty charge of $12.3 million, or 20 bps, related to a closed-out community in ~~many of our markets is allowing us to effectively manage ongoing pressure in house costs, particularly as it relates to the sustained high level of lumber pricing.~~Florida (see Note 8).

Land ~~sales~~sale and other revenues

We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. Land sale and other revenues and their related gains or losses vary between periods, depending on the timing of land sales and our strategic operating decisions. Land sales and other revenues contributed ~~gains~~income of ~~$1.0~~$3.5 million and $33.2 million for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to ~~losses~~gains (losses) of ~~$0.5~~$3.1 million and $(76.1) million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2017.~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The gains in 2018 resulted primarily from two land sale transactions in California that contributed $26.4 million. The losses in 2017 resulted primarily from the aforementioned NRV charges of $82.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (see Note 2).

SG&A

SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues was ~~12.6%~~9.8% and 10.4% for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with ~~14.9%~~11.6% and 12.3% for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2017.~~September 30, 2017, respectively. The gross dollar amount of our SG&A increased ~~$4.6~~$15.3 million, or 2%6%, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 compared to ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 and increased $29.7 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017. The improved overhead leverage ~~resulted from~~reflects volume efficiencies and realized cost efficiencies, as well as the aforementioned insurance reserve reversals of $37.9 million and $19.8 million for the ~~$15.0~~nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, partially offset by write-offs of $5.3 million ~~of expense incurred~~and $20.3 million in the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, respectively, associated with the resolution of certain insurance matters (see Note 8)~~, which increased SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues by 90 bps.~~.

The remaining purchase price under our land option agreements totaled ~~$2.3~~$2.7 billion at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018. These land option agreements generally may be canceled at our discretion and in certain cases extend over several years. Our maximum exposure related to these land option agreements is generally limited to our deposits and pre-acquisition costs, which totaled ~~$210.9~~$244.6 million, of which ~~$11.0~~$15.4 million is refundable, at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018.

Financial Services Operations

We conduct our Financial Services operations, which include mortgage operations, title services, and insurance brokerage operations, through Pulte Mortgage and other subsidiaries. In originating mortgage loans, we initially use our own funds, including funds available pursuant to credit agreements with third parties. Substantially all of the loans we originate are sold in the secondary market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. We also sell the servicing rights for the loans we originate through fixed price servicing sales contracts to reduce the risks and costs inherent in servicing loans. This strategy results in owning the loans and related servicing rights for only a short period of time. Operating as a captive business model primarily targeted to supporting our Homebuilding operations, the business levels of our Financial Services operations are highly correlated to Homebuilding. Our Homebuilding customers continue to account for substantially all loan production. We believe that our capture rate, which represents loan originations from our Homebuilding operations as a percentage of total loan opportunities from our Homebuilding operations, excluding cash closings, is an important metric in evaluating the effectiveness of our captive mortgage business model. The following tables present selected financial information for our Financial Services operations ($000's omitted):

Income before income taxes

Income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased 10% and 8%, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The increases over the prior year were due primarily to higher revenues that were partially offset by higher expenses. Refinance activity has slowed in the mortgage industry, which has increased competition, ~~and~~ pressured loan ~~pricing.~~pricing, and resulted in lower margins on our loan originations in 2018.

~~Income before income taxes~~

Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased 2% compared to the prior year period. The increase over the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to higher loan origination volumes that were largely offset by higher expenses.

Income Taxes

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our land acquisition, development, and construction activities and financial services operations using internally-generated funds supplemented by credit arrangements with third parties and capital market financing. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate accessing other available financing sources, including revolving bank credit and securities offerings.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, we had unrestricted cash and equivalents of ~~$150.8~~$728.6 million, restricted cash balances of ~~$34.0~~$30.4 million, and ~~$773.7~~$780.4 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility. We follow a diversified investment approach for our cash and equivalents by maintaining such funds with a broad portfolio of banks within our group of relationship banks in high quality, highly liquid, short-term deposits and investments.

Our ratio of debt to total capitalization, excluding our Financial Services debt, was ~~41.9%~~38.9% at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018.

Unsecured senior notes

We had $3.0 billion of unsecured senior notes outstanding at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, with no repayments due until 2021, when $700.0 million of unsecured senior notes are scheduled to mature.

Other notes payable

Other notes payable include non-recourse and limited recourse collateralized notes with third parties that totaled ~~$100.8~~$18.6 million and $20.0 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These notes have maturities ranging up to three years, are secured by the applicable land positions to which they relate, and have no recourse to any other assets. The stated interest rates on these notes range up to ~~7.53%~~8.01%. ~~In April 2018, we fully repaid one note totaling $81.2 million.~~

Revolving credit facility

~~Our~~In June 2018, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility which replaced the Company's previous credit agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility contains substantially similar terms to the previous credit agreement and extended the maturity date from June 2019 to June 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion and ~~matures in June 2019. The Revolving Credit Facility~~ contains an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the capacity to ~~$1.25~~$1.5 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that reduce the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a sublimit of ~~$375.0~~$500.0 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be based on either ~~LIBOR~~the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or a base rate plus an applicable margin, as defined therein. ~~At March 31, 2018, we~~We had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2018 and ~~$226.3 million of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Financial Services debt

Dividends and share repurchase program

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, we declared cash dividends totaling ~~$26.1~~$77.7 million and repurchased ~~1.7~~5.8 million shares under our repurchase authorization totaling ~~$52.5~~$172.1 million. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, we had remaining authorization to repurchase ~~$542.0~~$422.4 million of common shares.

Cash flows

Operating activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 was ~~$169.0 million,~~$1.0 billion, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of ~~$39.8~~$252.5 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. Generally, the primary drivers of our cash flow from operations are profitability and changes in the levels of inventory and residential mortgage loans available-for-sale, each of which experiences seasonal fluctuations. The positive cash flow from operations for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 was primarily due to our ~~pretax~~net income of ~~$224.2~~$784.4 million, supplemented by $230.3 million of deferred income taxes and a ~~seasonal~~$218.9 million reduction ~~of $185.1 million~~ in residential mortgage loans ~~available-for-sale. These sources of cash were~~available-for-sale, partially offset by a net increase in inventories of ~~$237.2~~$263.7 million resulting from ongoing land acquisition and development investment to support future growth combined with a seasonal build of house inventory to support ~~the~~our higher backlog.

Our positive cash flow from operations for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 was primarily due to our ~~pretax~~net income of ~~$139.3~~$369.8 million, ~~combined with~~supplemented by $131.3 million in non-cash land-related charges and a ~~seasonal~~ reduction of ~~$194.1~~$173.1 million in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale, partially offset by a net increase in inventories of ~~$267.0~~$758.0 million resulting from ~~ongoing~~increased land ~~acquisition and development~~ investment ~~to support future growth~~ combined with a seasonal build of house ~~inventory to support the higher backlog.~~inventory.

Investing activities

Investing activities are generally not a significant source or use of cash for us. Net cash used in investing activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 was ~~$16.0~~$32.0 million, compared with net cash used in investing activities of ~~$23.4~~$39.8 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 totaled ~~$274.4~~$530.2 million, compared with net cash used in financing activities of ~~$315.8~~$738.9 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The net cash used in financing activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 resulted primarily from the repurchase of ~~1.7~~5.8 million common shares for ~~$52.5~~$172.1 million under our repurchase authorization, ~~payment~~repayments of ~~$26.3~~debt totaling $82.7 million, payments of $78.3 million in cash dividends, and net repayments of ~~$190.9~~$187.1 million for borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement related to a seasonal reduction in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale.

Net cash used in financing activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 resulted primarily from the repurchase of ~~4.7~~27.8 million common shares for ~~$100.0~~$659.8 million under our repurchase authorization, ~~payment~~payments of ~~$29.1~~$86.0 million in cash dividends, and net repayments of ~~$191.2~~$85.8 million for borrowings under the Repurchase ~~Agreement related to a seasonal reduction in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale.~~Agreement.

Inflation

We, and the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected during periods of inflation because of higher land and construction costs. Inflation may also increase our financing costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates affect the affordability of our products to prospective homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on to our customers increases in our costs through increased sales prices, market forces may limit our ability to do so. If we are unable to raise sales prices enough to compensate for higher costs, or if mortgage interest rates increase significantly, our revenues, gross margins, and net income could be adversely affected.

Seasonality

Although significant changes in market conditions have impacted our seasonal patterns in the past and could do so again, we historically experience variability in our quarterly results from operations due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. We generally experience increases in revenues and cash flow from operations during the fourth quarter based on the timing of home closings. This seasonal activity increases our working capital requirements in our third and fourth quarters to support our home production and loan origination volumes. As a result of the seasonality of our operations, our quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our "Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments" contained in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2017, except as follows:

In June 2018, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility which replaced the Company's previous credit agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility contains substantially similar terms to the previous credit agreement and extended the maturity date from June 2019 to June 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion and contains an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the capacity to $1.5 billion.

In August 2018, Pulte Mortgage entered into an amended and restated repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) that extended the effective date to August 2019. The maximum aggregate commitment is $400.0 million at September 30, 2018, which increases to $520.0 million during the seasonally high borrowing period from December 26, 2018 through January 14, 2019. At all other times, the maximum aggregate commitment ranges from $240.0 million to $400.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We use letters of credit and surety bonds to guarantee our performance under various contracts, principally in connection with the development of our homebuilding projects. The expiration dates of the letter of credit contracts coincide with the expected completion date of the related homebuilding projects. If the obligations related to a project are ongoing, annual extensions of the letters of credit are typically granted on a year-to-year basis. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling ~~$226.3~~$219.6 million. Our surety bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. These bonds, which approximated $1.2 billion at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, are typically outstanding over a period of approximately three to five years. Because significant construction and development work has been performed related to projects that have not yet received final acceptance by the respective counterparties, the aggregate amount of surety bonds outstanding is in excess of the projected cost of the remaining work to be performed.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of houses in the future. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, these agreements had an aggregate remaining purchase price of ~~$2.3~~$2.7 billion. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was ~~$57.8~~$49.5 million of which ~~$57.0~~$49.4 million was related to one joint venture in which we have a 50% interest. In connection with this loan, we and our joint venture partner provided customary limited recourse guaranties in which our maximum financial loss exposure is limited to our pro rata share of the debt outstanding.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 compared with those contained in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, except that we updated our revenue recognition policies pursuant to the adoption of ASC 606 (see "New accounting pronouncements" withinNote 1) as included below:

Home sale revenues - Home sale revenues and related profit are generally recognized when title to and possession of the home are transferred to the buyer at the home closing date. Little to no estimation is involved in recognizing such revenues.

Land sale revenues - We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. Land sales are generally outright sales of specified land parcels with cash consideration due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied. Certain land sale contracts may contain unique terms that require management judgment in determining the appropriate revenue recognition, but the impact of such transactions is generally immaterial.

Financial services revenues - Mortgage servicing fees represent fees earned for servicing loans for various investors. Servicing fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance, or a contracted set fee in the case of certain sub-servicing arrangements, and are credited to income when related mortgage payments are received or the sub-servicing fees are earned. Loan origination fees, commitment fees, and certain direct loan origination costs are recognized as

incurred. Expected gains and losses from the sale of residential mortgage loans and their related servicing rights are included in the measurement of written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through Financial Services revenues at the time of commitment. The determination of fair value for certain of these financial instruments requires the use of estimates and management judgment. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these loans are reflected in Financial Services revenues as they occur. Interest income is accrued from the date a mortgage loan is originated until the loan is sold.

Revenues associated with our title operations are recognized as closing services are rendered and title insurance policies are issued, both of which generally occur as each home is closed. Insurance brokerage commissions relate to commissions on homeowner and other insurance policies placed with third party carriers through various agency channels. Our performance obligations for policy renewal commissions are satisfied upon issuance of the initial ~~policy. The~~policy, and related contract assets for estimated future renewal commissions are included in other assets and totaled ~~$28.8~~$30.4 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process and the long duration of renewal policies, which can extend many years into the future, actual results could differ from such estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Quantitative disclosure

We are subject to market risk on our debt instruments primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instrument but could affect our earnings and cash flows. Except in very limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity. As a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance or repurchase such debt.

The following table sets forth the principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates, and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 ($000’s omitted):
