PULTEGROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
PulteGroup, Inc. is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States. Our common stock trades 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 have mortgage banking operations, conducted principally through Pulte Mortgage LLC (“Pulte Mortgage”), and title operations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2012.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Reclassification
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 ("SEC").
Cash and equivalents
Cash and equivalents include institutional money market investments and time deposits with a maturity of three months or less when acquired. Cash and equivalents at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 also included $8.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of cash from home closings held in escrow for our benefit, typically for less than five days, which are considered deposits in-transit.
Restricted cash
We maintain certain cash balances that are restricted as to their use. Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits maintained with financial institutions under certain cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements (see Note 9). The remaining balances relate to certain other accounts with restrictions, including customer deposits on home sales that are temporarily restricted by regulatory requirements until title transfers to the homebuyer.

| $ | 57,339 |  |  | $ | 10,498 |  |  | $ | 62,111 |  |  | $ | 17,117 |

(a) | Excludes $0.1 million and $2.5 million of lease exit costs classified within Financial Services expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. There were no such costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

(b) | Includes a charge of $30.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 resulting from a contractual dispute related to a previously completed luxury community (see Note 10).

Notes receivable
In certain instances, we may accept consideration for land sales or other transactions in the form of a note receivable. Such receivables are reported net of allowance for credit losses within other assets. The following represents our notes receivable and related allowance for credit losses ($000’s omitted):

| June 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
Notes receivable, gross | $ | 59,372 |  |  | $ | 57,841 |
Allowance for credit losses | (27,059 | ) |  | (26,865 | )
Notes receivable, net | $ | 32,313 |  |  | $ | 30,976 |

We also record receivables from various parties in the normal course of business, including amounts due from municipalities, insurance carriers, and vendors. Such receivables are generally reported within other assets. See Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale in Note 1 for a discussion of receivables related to our mortgage operations.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders (the “numerator”) by the weighted-average number of common shares, adjusted for non-vested shares of restricted stock (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, non-vested restricted stock, 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. Earnings per share excludes 10.3 million and 10.5 million stock options and other potentially dilutive instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and 21.9 million and 22.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Land option agreements
In the ordinary course of business, 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 these write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs within other expense (income), net. See Note 3.
If the entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), our deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. If we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we are required to consolidate the VIE. Certain of our land option agreements are with entities considered VIEs. In evaluating whether we are required to consolidate a VIE, we take into consideration that the VIE is generally protected from the first dollar of loss under our land option agreement due to our deposit. Likewise, the VIE's gains are generally capped based on the purchase price within the land option agreement. However, we generally have little control or influence over the operations of these VIEs due to our lack of an equity interest in them. Additionally, creditors of the VIE have no recourse against us, and we do not provide financial or other support to these VIEs other than as stipulated in the land option agreements. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is generally limited to our deposits and pre-acquisition costs under the applicable land option agreements. Historically, cancellations of land option agreements have resulted in write-offs of the related deposits and pre-acquisition costs but did not expose us to the overall risks or losses of the applicable VIEs.
Separately, certain land option agreements represent financing arrangements even though we generally have no obligation to pay these future amounts. As a result, we recorded $33.8 million and $31.1 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, to land, not owned, under option agreements with a corresponding increase to accrued and other liabilities. Such amounts represent the remaining purchase price under the land option agreements, some of which are with VIEs, in the event we exercise the purchase rights under the agreements.
The following provides a summary of our interests in land option agreements as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 ($000’s omitted):

| June 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012

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. In accordance with ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”), we use the fair value option to record residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. Election of the fair value option for these loans allows a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We do not designate any derivative instruments as hedges or apply the hedge accounting provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
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. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, residential mortgage loans available-for-sale had an aggregate fair value of $237.6 million and $318.9 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $238.2 million and $305.3 million, respectively. The net gain (loss) resulting from changes in fair value of these loans totaled $(2.0) million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $(1.8) million and $(0.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These changes in fair value were substantially offset by changes in fair value of the corresponding hedging instruments. Net gains from the sale of mortgages were $24.4 million and $24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $48.3 million and $43.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and have been included in Financial Services revenues.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities
We are exposed to market risks from commitments to lend, movements in interest rates, and canceled or modified commitments to lend. A commitment to lend at a specific interest rate (an interest rate lock commitment) is a derivative financial instrument (interest rate is locked to the borrower). In order to reduce these risks, we use other derivative financial instruments, principally cash forward placement contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments, to economically hedge the interest rate lock commitment. We enter into these derivative financial instruments based upon our portfolio of interest rate lock commitments and closed loans. We do not use any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had aggregate interest rate lock commitments of $279.9 million and $161.6 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.
Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are commitments to either purchase or sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price that may be settled in cash, by offsetting the position, or through the delivery of the financial instrument. 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. We also use whole loan investor commitments, which are obligations of the investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had unexpired forward contracts of $458.3 million and $428.0 million, respectively, and whole loan investor commitments of $18.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of interest rate lock commitments 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.
There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal. Gains and losses on interest rate lock commitments 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
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"), which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements of financial instruments and derivative instruments. The guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013 and was applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
2. Corporate office relocation
On May 31, 2013, we announced our plan to relocate our corporate offices to Atlanta, Georgia, from the current location in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in 2014. The decision to relocate reflects long-term growth trends for both us and the homebuilding industry and is intended to bring our corporate offices closer to our customers and a larger portion of our investment portfolio. The relocation of operations will occur in phases over time but is expected to be substantially complete no later than early 2015. We expect to incur the following approximate costs in connection with the relocation, the substantial majority of which represent future cash expenditures (in $000s):

Employee severance, retention, and relocation costs | $ | 21,000 |  | to | $ | 26,000 |
Asset impairments | 355 |  | to | 500 |
Lease termination and other exit costs | 27,000 |  | to | 32,000 |

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded employee severance, retention, and relocation costs of $13.1 million and asset impairments of $0.4 million. Severance, retention, and relocation costs are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expense, while lease exit and asset impairments are included in other expense (income), net. We expect to record additional charges of approximately $1.0 million to $5.0 million in 2013 related to the relocation with the remaining costs to be recognized primarily in 2014 and early 2015. We will also incur costs at the new location related to the recruitment and onboarding of new employees and certain redundant operating costs. The amount of such costs is not expected to be material.

We capitalize interest cost into inventory during the active development and construction of our communities. Each layer of capitalized interest is amortized over a period that approximates the average life of communities under development. Interest expense is recorded based on the cyclical timing of home closings. Interest expensed to Homebuilding cost of revenues included capitalized interest related to inventory impairments of $1.7 million and $2.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We capitalized all Homebuilding interest costs into inventory because the level of our active inventory exceeded our debt levels.

Land valuation adjustments and write-offs
Impairment of inventory
We record valuation adjustments on land inventory and related communities under development when events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired and when the cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. Such indicators include gross margin or sales paces significantly below expectations, construction costs or land development costs significantly in excess of budgeted amounts, significant delays or changes in the planned development for the community, and other known qualitative factors. For communities that are not yet active, an additional consideration includes an evaluation of the probability, timing, and cost of obtaining necessary approvals from municipalities and any potential concessions that may be necessary in order to obtain such approvals. We also consider potential changes to the product offerings in a community and any alternative strategies for the land, such as the sale of the land either in whole or in parcels. Communities that demonstrate potential impairment indicators are tested for impairment. We compare the expected undiscounted cash flows for these communities to their carrying values. For those communities whose carrying values exceed the expected undiscounted cash flows, we estimate the fair value of the community. Impairment charges are recorded if the fair value of the community's inventory is less than its carrying value.
We determine the fair value of a community's inventory using a combination of market comparable land transactions, where available, and discounted cash flow models. 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 tested for impairment. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in demand for new housing, and the long life cycles of many communities, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates. Our determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with each of the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each community's fair value depends on the stage of development of the community and other specific factors that increase or decrease the inherent risks associated with the community's cash flow streams. For example, communities that are entitled and near completion will generally be assigned a lower discount rate than communities that are not entitled and consist of multiple phases spanning several years of development and construction.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we reviewed each of our land positions for potential impairment. As a result of these reviews, we recorded impairments of $1.7 million and $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.9 million and $7.3 million during the six months ended

June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which are recorded within Homebuilding home sale cost of revenues. Our evaluations for impairments recorded to date were based on our best estimates of the future cash flows for our communities. However, if conditions in the homebuilding industry or our local markets worsen in the future or if our strategy related to certain communities changes, we may be required to evaluate our assets for further impairments or write-downs, which could result in future charges that might be significant.
Net realizable value adjustments – land held for sale
Land held for sale is valued at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. In determining the value of land held for sale, we consider recent offers received, prices for land in recent comparable sales transactions, and other factors. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized net realizable value adjustments related to land held for sale of $2.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Such adjustments totaled $2.2 million and $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We record these net realizable value adjustments within Homebuilding land sale cost of revenues. During 2013, the decrease in the gross land held for sale and net realizable value reserve balances resulted primarily from the sale of a previously impaired land parcel. Land held for sale was as follows ($000’s omitted):

| June 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
Land held for sale, gross | $ | 98,527 |  |  | $ | 135,201 |
Net realizable value reserves | (8,762 | ) |  | (44,097 | )
Land held for sale, net | $ | 89,765 |  |  | $ | 91,104 |

Write-off of deposits and pre-acquisition costs
We wrote off (net of recoveries) deposits and pre-acquisition costs in the amount of $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We record these write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs within other expense (income), net.
4. Segment information
Our Homebuilding operations are engaged in the acquisition and development of land primarily for residential purposes within the U.S. and the construction of housing on such land. For reporting purposes, our Homebuilding operations are aggregated into six reportable segments:

Northeast: |  | Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia
Southeast: |  | Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
Florida: |  | Florida
Texas: |  | Texas
North: |  | Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Northern California, Ohio, Oregon, Washington
Southwest: |  | Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Southern California

We also have a reportable segment for our Financial Services operations, which consist principally of mortgage banking and title operations. The Financial Services segment operates generally in the same markets as the Homebuilding segments.
Evaluation of segment performance is generally based on income before income taxes. Each reportable segment generally follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

5. Investments in unconsolidated entities
We participate in a number of joint ventures with independent third parties. Many of these joint ventures purchase, develop, and/or sell land and homes in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. A summary of our joint ventures is presented below ($000’s omitted):

| June 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
Investments in joint ventures with debt non-recourse to PulteGroup | $ | 26,117 |  |  | $ | 11,155 |
Investments in other active joint ventures | 18,261 |  |  | 34,474 |
Total investments in unconsolidated entities | $ | 44,378 |  |  | $ | 45,629 |
Total joint venture debt | $ | 10,393 |  |  | $ | 6,915 |
PulteGroup proportionate share of joint venture debt: |  |  |
Joint venture debt with limited recourse guaranties | $ | 1,020 |  |  | $ | 769 |
Joint venture debt non-recourse to PulteGroup | 2,071 |  |  | 826 |
PulteGroup's total proportionate share of joint venture debt | $ | 3,091 |  |  | $ | 1,595 |

We recognized (income) expense from unconsolidated joint ventures of $(0.4) million and $(1.6) million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $0.5 million and $(3.6) million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 we made capital contributions of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and received capital and earnings distributions of $1.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
The timing of cash obligations under the joint venture and any related financing agreements varies by agreement. If additional capital contributions are required and approved, we would need to contribute our pro rata portion of those capital needs in order to not dilute our ownership in the joint ventures. While future capital contributions may be required, we believe the total amount of such contributions will be limited. Our maximum financial loss exposure related to joint ventures is unlikely to exceed the combined investment and limited recourse guaranty totals.
6. Shareholders’ equity
On July 24, 2013, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share payable in August 2013. This represents our first dividend declaration since November 2008. We also increased our common share repurchase authorization by $250.0 million, raising our total available repurchase authorization to $352.3 million of common shares. There have been no repurchases under our authorized stock repurchase programs since 2006.
Under our stock-based compensation plans, we accept shares as payment under certain conditions related to stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock, generally related to the payment of minimum tax obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we repurchased $6.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of shares from employees under these plans. Such repurchases are excluded from the above noted stock repurchase authorization.

7. Income taxes
Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of factors, the most significant of which are the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets and changes in our unrecognized tax benefits. Due to the effects of these factors, our effective tax rates in 2013 and 2012 are not correlated to the amount of our income or loss before income taxes.
Other assets include income taxes receivable of $28.7 million and $31.9 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which related primarily to state carryback claims and amended income tax returns.
We evaluate our deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. At both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had net deferred tax assets of $2.5 billion. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time. Based on our evaluation, we fully reserved the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing such deferred tax assets. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon an estimate of future results. Differences between the estimated and actual results could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
We analyze all available positive and negative evidence in determining the continuing need for a valuation allowance. This evaluation considers, among other factors, historical operating results, forecasts of future profitability, and the duration of statutory carryforward periods. One of the primary pieces of negative evidence we consider is the significant losses we have incurred in recent years, including being in a significant three-year cumulative pre-tax loss position at June 30, 2013. Other negative evidence includes a U.S. macroeconomic environment that continues to face challenges and uncertainties within the cyclical homebuilding industry. However, the amount of negative evidence has lessened in recent periods as a growing amount of positive evidence has developed, including our financial results and the outlook for the homebuilding industry. Significantly, we have had five consecutive quarters with income before income taxes and have experienced increases in revenues, order backlog, and home sale gross margin. If current business trends continue, including continued improvements in the homebuilding industry, and we continue to be profitable, we believe that there could be sufficient positive evidence to support reducing a large portion of the valuation allowance during the second half of 2013.
As a result of our merger with Centex in August 2009, our ability to use certain of Centex’s pre-ownership change NOL carryforwards and built-in losses or deductions is limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Our Section 382 limitation is approximately $67.4 million per year for NOLs, losses realized on built-in loss assets that are sold within 60 months of the ownership change (i.e. before August 2014), and certain deductions. We do not believe that the Section 382 limitation will prevent the Company from using Centex’s pre-ownership change NOL carryforwards and built-in losses or deductions.
At June 30, 2013, we had $169.7 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits and $32.8 million of accrued interest and penalties. We are currently under examination by the IRS and various state taxing jurisdictions and anticipate finalizing certain of the examinations within the next twelve months. The final outcome of these examinations is not yet determinable. It is reasonably possible, within the next twelve months, that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $24.6 million, excluding interest and penalties, primarily due to expirations of certain statutes of limitations and potential settlements. The statute of limitations for our major tax jurisdictions remains open for examination for tax years 2003 to 2013.

8. 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):

Financial Instrument |  | Fair Value Hierarchy |  | Fair Value
June 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012

Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale |  | Level 2 |  | $ | 237,595 |  |  | $ | 318,931 |
Interest rate lock commitments |  | Level 2 |  | 4,733 |  |  | 6,021 |
Forward contracts |  | Level 2 |  | 13,127 |  |  | (646 | )
Whole loan commitments |  | Level 2 |  | 240 |  |  | (55 | )
Measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis: |  |  |  |  |  |
House and land inventory |  | Level 3 |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 11,243 |
Disclosed at fair value: |  |  |  |  |  |
Cash and equivalents (including restricted cash) |  | Level 1 |  | $ | 1,279,111 |  |  | $ | 1,476,710 |
Financial Services debt |  | Level 2 |  | 59,866 |  |  | 138,795 |
Senior notes |  | Level 2 |  | 2,159,514 |  |  | 2,663,451 |

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, are based on market prices for similar instruments. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are valued based on market prices for similar instruments. Fair values for whole loan investor 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 table above represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value as of the respective balance sheet dates. See Note 3 for a more detailed discussion of the valuation methods used for inventory.
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents and Financial Services debt approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. 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 $2.1 billion at June 30, 2013 and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2012.

Debt retirement
In the second quarter of 2013, we retired prior to their stated maturity dates $434.4 million of senior notes. This included the previously announced redemption of the remaining senior notes due in 2014. We recorded losses related to these transactions totaling $23.1 million. Losses on these transactions included the write-off of unamortized discounts, premiums, and transaction fees and are reflected in other expense (income), net. There were no debt retirements during the three or six months ended June 30, 2012.
Letter of credit facilities
We maintain separate cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements with a number of financial institutions. Letters of credit totaling $50.3 million and $54.5 million were outstanding under these agreements at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Under these agreements, we are required to maintain deposits with the respective financial institutions in amounts approximating the letters of credit outstanding. Such deposits are included in restricted cash.
We also maintain an unsecured letter of credit facility with a bank that expires in September 2014. This facility permits the issuance of up to $150.0 million of letters of credit for general corporate purposes in support of any wholly-owned subsidiary. Letters of credit totaling $121.3 million and $124.6 million were outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Financial Services
Pulte Mortgage provides mortgage financing for the majority of our home closings utilizing its own funds and funds made available pursuant to credit agreements with third parties or through intercompany borrowings. Pulte Mortgage uses these resources to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market, which generally occurs within 30 days.

In September 2012, Pulte Mortgage entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with third party lenders. The Repurchase Agreement provides for loan purchases of up to $150.0 million, subject to certain sublimits, and expires in September 2013. Borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Pulte Mortgage, including quantitative thresholds related to net worth, net income, and liquidity. At June 30, 2013, Pulte Mortgage had $59.9 million outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement.
10. 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 that the loans sold meet 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. If determined to be at fault, we either repurchase the loans from the investors or reimburse the investors' losses (a “make-whole” payment).
We sell substantially all of the loans we originate to investors in the secondary market within a short period of time after origination. In recent years, we experienced a significant increase in losses related to repurchase requests as a result of the high level of loan defaults and related losses in the mortgage industry and increasing aggressiveness by investors in presenting such claims to us. To date, the significant majority of these losses relates to loans originated in 2006 and 2007, during which period inherently riskier loan products became more common in the mortgage origination market. In 2006 and 2007, we originated $39.5 billion of loans, excluding loans originated by Centex's former subprime loan business sold by Centex in 2006. Because we generally do not retain the servicing rights to the loans we originate, information regarding the current and historical performance, credit quality, and outstanding balances of such loans is limited. Estimating these loan origination liabilities is further complicated by uncertainties surrounding numerous external factors, such as various macroeconomic factors (including unemployment rates and changes in home prices), actions taken by third parties, including the parties servicing the loans, and the U.S. federal government in its dual capacity as regulator of the U.S. mortgage industry and conservator of the government-sponsored enterprises commonly known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or guarantee the majority of mortgage loans in the U.S.
Most requests received to date relate to make-whole payments on loans that have been foreclosed. Requests undergo extensive analysis to confirm the exposure, attempt to cure the identified defect, and, when necessary, determine our liability. We establish liabilities for such anticipated losses based upon, among other things, the level of current unresolved repurchase requests, the volume of estimated probable future repurchase requests, our ability to cure the defects identified in the repurchase requests, and the severity of the estimated loss upon repurchase. Determining these estimates and the resulting liability requires a significant level of management judgment. We are generally able to cure or refute over 60% of the requests received from investors such that we do not believe repurchases or make-whole payments will ultimately be required. For those requests that we believe will result in repurchases or make-whole payments, actual loss severities are expected to approximate 50% of the outstanding principal balance.
Our current estimates assume that such requests will continue through 2014. Given the ongoing volatility in the mortgage industry, our lack of visibility into the current status of the review process of loans by investors, the claim volumes we continue to experience, and uncertainties regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, it is reasonably possible that future losses may exceed our current estimates. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

We entered into an agreement in conjunction with the wind down of Centex's mortgage operations, which ceased loan origination activities in December 2009, that provides a guaranty for one major investor of loans originated by Centex. This guaranty provides that we will honor the potential repurchase obligations of Centex's mortgage operations related to breaches of representations and warranties in the origination of a certain pool of loans. Other than with respect to this pool of loans, our contractual repurchase obligations are limited to our mortgage subsidiaries, which are included in non-guarantor subsidiaries (see Note 11 for a discussion of non-guarantor subsidiaries).
The mortgage subsidiary of Centex also sold loans to a bank for inclusion in residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBSs”) issued by the bank. In connection with these sales, Centex's mortgage subsidiary entered into agreements pursuant to which it may be required to indemnify the bank for losses incurred by investors in the RMBSs arising out of material errors or omissions in certain information provided by the mortgage subsidiary relating to the loans and loan origination process. In 2011, the bank notified us that it has been named defendant in two lawsuits alleging various violations of federal and state securities laws asserting that untrue statements of material fact were included in the registration statements used to market the sale of two RMBS transactions which included $162 million of loans originated by Centex's mortgage subsidiary. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and/or rescissory damages on behalf of persons who purchased the securities. Neither Centex's mortgage subsidiary nor the Company is named as a defendant in these actions. These actions are in their preliminary stage, and we cannot yet quantify Centex's mortgage subsidiary's potential liability as a result of these indemnification obligations. We do not believe, however, that these matters will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company. We are aware of six other RMBS transactions with such indemnity provisions that include an aggregate $116 million of loans, and we are not aware of any current or threatened legal proceedings regarding those transactions.
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 $171.6 million and $1.0 billion at June 30, 2013, respectively, and $179.2 million and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2012, respectively. In the event any such letter of credit or surety bonds are called, 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 called. 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 the applicable projects but has 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.

We are engaged in arbitration related to a previously completed luxury community in a market we have since exited. The arbitration relates to a variety of claims involving a contractual dispute with certain homeowners. Based on the various stages of these claims, we anticipate most, if not all, of these claims being resolved during 2013, though the resolution of certain claims could extend into future years. As the result of various rulings by the arbitrator and ongoing settlement discussions, we recorded a charge of $30.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. While we believe we have meritorious defenses against the claims as well as potential future claims, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could result in losses of up to $40.0 million in excess of amounts previously accrued.
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 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 companies 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 to participate in a project-specific insurance program provided by the Company. Policies issued by the captive insurance subsidiaries represent self-insurance of these risks by the Company. 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 on insured claims satisfy 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 omission, workers compensation, and other business insurance coverage. We reserve for costs associated with such claims (including expected claims management expenses relating to legal fees, expert fees, and claims handling 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. These estimates comprise a significant portion 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. 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.
Our recorded reserves for all such claims totaled $708.1 million at June 30, 2013, the vast majority of which relates to general liability claims. The recorded reserves include 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 75% of the total general liability reserves at June 30, 2013. 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.
Adjustments to reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Because the majority of our reserves relates to IBNR, adjustments to reserve amounts for individual existing claims generally do not impact the recorded reserves materially. However, 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. Because of the inherent uncertainty in estimating future losses related to these claims, actual costs could differ significantly from estimated costs. Costs associated with our insurance programs are classified within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The overall housing market continues to gain strength as the combination of low interest rates and affordable home prices have kept monthly mortgage payments very affordable relative to the rental market. In addition to increasing sales volumes in many parts of the U.S., house prices have also been increasing as the result of increased demand and low supply of existing and new home inventory in many markets. Despite a recent moderate rise in interest rates, we have experienced increased traffic and have been able to raise prices in the majority of our communities. While we believe higher interest rates are inevitable and may have a moderating effect on demand and pricing, we believe this impact will be outweighed by the other factors driving increased demand as overall new home sales in the U.S. remain low compared to historical levels.
These factors combined to result in our fifth consecutive quarter with income before income taxes. Closings, revenues, gross margin, and backlog all improved in the second quarter of 2013 over the prior year second quarter. The improved demand conditions also contributed to increased net new orders per community over the prior year. Consistent with our land investment strategy, our overall net new orders decreased 12% compared to the prior year as the result of 16% fewer active communities. We will continue to calibrate sales pace in each community to improve our gross margins and maximize returns on invested capital, in certain cases purposefully slowing sales pace in exchange for better pricing and / or better matching of our sales cadence with our production cycle. We expect that this approach will continue to result in a moderation in our net new order growth relative to overall growth in the U.S. homebuilding industry.
For the remainder of 2013, we will continue to focus on improving our operating margins while facing rising house cost pressures from material and labor prices, using our existing land assets more effectively, allocating capital more effectively, and aggressively controlling unsold "spec" inventory to enhance our balance sheet and position the Company to deliver improved long-term returns. We generated significant positive cash flow from operations in the first half of 2013, which has provided additional flexibility to retire debt early and increase our planned future investments in new communities while also reinstating a dividend and increasing our authorization for share repurchases.
In planning for the longer term, each passing quarter provides more confidence that we are at the beginning of a broad, sustainable recovery in the U.S. new home market. While the U.S. macroeconomic environment continues to face challenges and each local market will experience varying results, we are continuing to pursue strategic land positions that meet our underwriting requirements in well-positioned submarkets and believe that sustained execution of our strategy will continue to result in increased profits and improved returns on invested capital.
The following is a summary of our operating results by line of business ($000's omitted, except per share data):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,

Income tax expense (benefit) | 1,913 |  |  | (2,510 | ) |  | 2,501 |  |  | (4,335 | )
Net income | $ | 36,417 |  |  | $ | 42,436 |  |  | $ | 118,179 |  |  | $ | 30,770 |

Net income | $ | 0.09 |  |  | $ | 0.11 |  |  | $ | 0.30 |  |  | $ | 0.08 |

• | The income before income taxes generated by Homebuilding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 improved compared to the prior year periods primarily as the result of higher revenues and increased gross margins. Partially offsetting these improved results in the second quarter of 2013 were charges totaling $66.6 million consisting of losses on debt retirements totaling $23.1 million, costs associated with the previously announced relocation of our corporate headquarters totaling $13.5 million, and a charge resulting from a contractual dispute related to a previously completed luxury community totaling $30.0 million.

• | The increased Financial Services income in 2013 compared to the prior year resulted primarily from higher origination volume and average loan size partially offset by lower loan pricing due to increased competition.

Home sale revenues
Home sale revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were higher than the prior year period by $195.3 million, or 19%. The increase was attributable to a 9% increase in average selling price, combined with a 9% increase in closings. Home sale revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were higher than the prior year period by $481.2 million or 26%. The increase was attributable to a 10% increase in average selling price, combined with a 15% increase in closings. The increase in closings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 reflected improved consumer demand in the majority of our local markets. The increase in average selling price occurred in substantially all of our local markets and reflects an ongoing shift in our revenue mix toward move-up buyers and improved market conditions that have allowed for increased sale prices as well as higher levels of house options and lot premiums. In select communities across the country, demand has been so strong that we have taken actions to purposefully slow our overall sales pace by limiting lot releases or raising prices.
Home sale gross margins
Home sale gross margins were 18.8% and 18.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 15.1% and 14.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Excluding the impact of land and community valuation adjustments and capitalized interest amortization, adjusted home sale gross margins improved to 23.9% and 23.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 20.3% and 19.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively (see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for a reconciliation of adjusted home sale gross margins). The gross margin improvement was broad-based as substantially all of our operating divisions experienced higher gross margins in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the prior year periods. These improved gross margins reflect a combination of factors, including an improved pricing environment, shifts in the product mix of homes closed toward move-up buyers, better alignment of our product offering with consumer demand, and contributions from our strategic pricing and house cost reduction objectives.
Land sales
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 revenues and their related gains or losses vary between periods, depending on the timing of land sales and our strategic operating decisions. Land sales had margin contributions of $(0.3) million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These margin contributions included net realizable value adjustments related to land held for sale totaling $2.1 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
SG&A
SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues was 12.3% and 12.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with 12.1% and 13.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The gross dollar amount of our SG&A increased $26.3 million, or 21%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year, and $32.7 million or 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 includes $13.1 million (110 bps and 60 bps, respectively) of employee severance, retention, and relocation costs attributable to our previously announced relocation of our corporate headquarters. Excluding such costs, our overhead leverage improved over the prior year periods. The remaining increases in gross overhead dollars were primarily due to variable costs related to the higher revenue volume combined with higher incentive compensation accruals resulting from the Company's improved operating performance.
Equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated entities
Equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated entities was $(0.4) million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with $(1.5) million and $(3.5) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The majority of our unconsolidated entities represent land development joint ventures. As a result, the timing of income and losses varies between periods depending on the timing of transactions and circumstances specific to each entity.

| $ | 57,339 |  |  | $ | 10,498 |  |  | $ | 62,111 |  |  | $ | 17,117 |

For additional information on each of the above, see the applicable Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Miscellaneous expense (income), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 includes a charge of $30.0 million resulting from a contractual dispute related to a previously completed luxury community (see Note 10).
Interest income, net
The level of interest income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was essentially flat with the prior year based on the level of invested cash balances and low returns on invested cash available in the current interest rate environment.
Net new orders
Net new orders decreased 12% and 5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to selling from 16% fewer active communities in 2013 (626 at June 30, 2013). Reflecting improved demand in the market, net new orders per community increased 4% and 12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, over the prior year periods. The cancellation rate (canceled orders for the period divided by gross new orders for the period) was 14% and 13% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 14% for both of the comparable prior year periods. Ending backlog units, which represent orders for homes that have not yet closed, increased 13% at June 30, 2013 compared with June 30, 2012, reflecting the improved demand environment we have experienced in recent quarters.
Homes in production
The following is a summary of our homes in production at June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012:

| June 30, 2013 |  | June 30, 2012
Sold | 5,672 |  |  | 4,820 |
Unsold |  |  |
Under construction | 596 |  |  | 967 |
Completed | 271 |  |  | 598 |
| 867 |  |  | 1,565 |
Models | 1,065 |  |  | 1,215 |
Total | 7,604 |  |  | 7,600 |

The number of homes in production at June 30, 2013 was comparable to the number at June 30, 2012. Our increased backlog, which resulted in a significant increase in our sold homes in production, was offset by a significant reduction in homes unsold to customers ("spec homes") and models. Reducing our reliance on sales of spec homes is a component of our strategic pricing and inventory turns objectives, so we have focused on reducing the level of our spec home inventory, especially our completed specs ("final specs"). As a result, our unsold homes in production at June 30, 2013 was 45% lower than at June 30, 2012.

Of our controlled lots, 98,086 and 103,060 were owned and 11,849 and 9,634 were under option agreements approved for purchase at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, there were 13,936 and 7,181 lots under option agreements pending approval at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. While competition for well-positioned land has increased in recent quarters, we continue to pursue strategic land positions that meet our underwriting requirements while also using our existing land assets more effectively.
The remaining purchase price related to land under option for use by our Homebuilding operations at future dates totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 2013. These land option agreements, which generally may be canceled at our discretion and in certain cases extend over several years, are secured by deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $88.5 million, of which only $6.6 million is refundable.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains information about our home sale gross margins reflecting certain adjustments. This measure is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC's rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measure as a measure of our operating performance. Management and our local divisions use this measure in evaluating the operating performance of each community and in making strategic decisions regarding sales pricing, construction and development pace, product mix, and other daily operating decisions. We believe it is a relevant and useful measure to investors for evaluating our performance through gross profit generated on homes delivered during a given period and for comparing our operating performance to other companies in the homebuilding industry. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, the methods used may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate gross margins and any adjustments thereto before comparing our measure to that of such other companies.

The increase in income before income taxes resulted from the increased revenues combined with improved gross margins in every division and overall improved overhead leverage. Net new orders increased by 1% as increases in Michigan, Illinois, and St. Louis were mostly offset by a decrease in Northern California, as we purposely slowed sales pace in a number of communities by raising prices and limiting lot releases.
Southwest
Southwest home sale revenues increased 25% during the second quarter of 2013 compared with the prior year period due to a 9% increase in closings and a 15% increase in average selling price. The increase in closings was mainly due to increases in Southern California and Las Vegas. The increase in average selling price occurred across all divisions, but was most significant in Arizona. The increase in income before income taxes resulted from the higher revenues combined with improved gross margins and overhead leverage. However, net new orders decreased by 37% compared with the prior year period, primarily due to fewer active communities in Arizona, Southern California, and Las Vegas, along with purposefully slowing the sales pace in a number of communities by raising prices and limiting lot releases.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Southwest home sale revenues increased 46% compared with the prior year period due to a 23% increase in closings combined with a 19% increase in average selling price. The increase in closings was
43

mainly due to increases in Southern California, Las Vegas, and Arizona. The increase in average selling price occurred across all divisions, but was most significant in Arizona and New Mexico. The increase in income before income taxes resulted from the higher revenues combined with improved gross margins and overhead leverage. However, net new orders decreased by 26% compared with the prior year period, primarily due to fewer active communities in Arizona, Southern California, and Las Vegas, along with purposefully slowing the sales pace in a number of communities by raising prices and limiting lot releases.
Financial Services Operations
We conduct our Financial Services operations, which include mortgage and title 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 either third parties or with the Company. 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 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 servicing rights for only a short period of time. Operating as a captive business model primarily targeted to supporting our Homebuilding operations, the operating results 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 table presents selected financial information for our Financial Services operations ($000's omitted):

Revenues
Total Financial Services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased 9% and 17%, respectively, compared to the respective prior year periods as the result of higher loan origination volumes and an increase in average loan size. The increase in loan origination volumes was due to a higher capture rate, higher Homebuilding closing volumes, and fewer cash sales.
In recent years, the mortgage industry has experienced a significant overall tightening of lending standards and a shift toward agency production and fixed rate loans versus adjustable rate mortgages (“ARMs”) and unconventional loans. The substantial majority of loan production during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 consisted of fixed rate loans, the majority of which are prime, conforming loans. The shift toward agency fixed-rate loans has contributed to profitability as such loans generally result in higher profitability due to higher servicing values and structured guidelines that allow for expense efficiencies when processing the loan. Additionally, historically low interest rates and the challenging regulatory environment in recent periods has contributed to profitability by reducing the overall level of pricing competition in the market. Recently, however, competition has increased in the industry, partially as the result of lower refinancing volume. While we expect loan margins to continue to be strong, the increased competition has reduced, and will most likely continue to reduce, loan margins relative to our results in 2012.
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 that the loans sold meet 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. If determined to be at fault, we either repurchase the loans from the investors or reimburse the investors' losses (a “make-whole” payment).
In recent years, we experienced a significant increase in losses related to repurchase requests as a result of the high level of loan defaults and related losses in the mortgage industry and increasing aggressiveness by investors in presenting such claims to us. To date, the significant majority of these losses relates to loans originated in 2006 and 2007, during which period inherently riskier loan products became more common in the mortgage origination market. Given the volatility in the mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, it is reasonably possible that future losses may exceed our current estimates. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
We entered into an agreement in conjunction with the wind down of Centex's mortgage operations, which ceased loan origination activities in December 2009, that provides a guaranty for one major investor of loans originated by Centex. This guaranty provides that we will honor the potential repurchase obligations of Centex's mortgage operations related to breaches of representations and warranties in the origination of a certain pool of loans. Other than with respect to this pool of loans, our contractual repurchase obligations are limited to our mortgage subsidiaries, which are included in non-guarantor subsidiaries (see Note 11 for a discussion of non-guarantor subsidiaries).
The mortgage subsidiary of Centex also sold loans to a bank for inclusion in residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBSs”) issued by the bank. In connection with these sales, Centex's mortgage subsidiary entered into agreements pursuant to which it may be required to indemnify the bank for losses incurred by investors in the RMBSs arising out of material errors or omissions in certain information provided by the mortgage subsidiary relating to the loans and loan origination process. In 2011, the bank notified us that it has been named defendant in two lawsuits alleging various violations of federal and state securities laws asserting that untrue statements of material fact were included in the registration statements used to market the sale of two RMBS transactions, which included $162 million of loans originated by Centex's mortgage subsidiary. Neither Centex's mortgage subsidiary nor the Company is named as a defendant in these actions. These actions are in their preliminary stage, and we cannot yet quantify Centex's mortgage subsidiary's potential liability as a result of these indemnification obligations. We do not believe, however, that these matters will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company. We are aware of six other RMBS transactions with such indemnity provisions that include an aggregate $116 million of loans, and we are not aware of any current or threatened legal proceedings regarding those transactions.

Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of factors, the most significant of which are the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets and changes in our unrecognized tax benefits. Due to the effects of these factors, our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are not correlated to the amount of our pretax income or loss. Our effective tax rates were 5.0% and (6.3)% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 2.1% and (16.4)% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our land acquisition, development, and construction activities and financial services operations by 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. Based on our current financial condition and credit relationships, we believe that our operations and borrowing resources are sufficient to provide for our current and foreseeable capital requirements. However, we continue to evaluate the impact of market conditions on our liquidity and may determine that modifications are appropriate if market conditions deteriorate, if significant growth returns to the homebuilding industry, or if favorable capital market opportunities become available.
At June 30, 2013, we had unrestricted cash and equivalents of $1.2 billion and senior notes of $2.1 billion. We also had restricted cash balances of $66.4 million, the substantial majority of which related to cash serving as collateral under certain letter of credit facilities. Other financing sources include various letter of credit facilities and surety bond arrangements.
We follow a diversified investment approach for our cash and equivalents by maintaining such funds with a diversified portfolio of banks within our group of relationship banks in high quality, highly liquid, short-term investments, generally money market funds and federal government or agency securities. We monitor our investments with each bank and do not believe our cash and equivalents are exposed to any material risk of loss. However, there can be no assurances that losses of the principal balance of our cash and equivalents will not occur.
Our ratio of debt to total capitalization, excluding our Financial Services borrowings, was 47.2% at June 30, 2013, and 25.6% net of cash and equivalents, including restricted cash. We continue to pursue strategies to reduce our leverage through a combination of cash-generating activities, reducing debt, and returning to consistent profitability. Additionally, any reversal of the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets would have a favorable impact on our debt to capitalization ratios (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
In the second quarter of 2013, we retired prior to their stated maturity dates $434.4 million of senior notes. This included the previously announced redemption of the remaining senior notes due in 2014. We recorded losses related to these transactions totaling $23.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. There were no debt retirements during the three or six months ended June 30, 2012.
Credit agreements
We maintain separate cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements with a number of financial institutions. Letters of credit totaling $50.3 million were outstanding under these agreements at June 30, 2013. Under these agreements, we are required to maintain deposits with these financial institutions in amounts approximating the letters of credit outstanding. Such deposits are included in restricted cash.
We also maintain an unsecured letter of credit facility that expires in September 2014. This facility permits the issuance of up to $150.0 million of letters of credit for general corporate purposes in support of any wholly-owned subsidiary. Letters of credit totaling $121.3 million were outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2013.
Pulte Mortgage
Pulte Mortgage provides mortgage financing for the majority of our home closings by utilizing its own funds and funds made available pursuant to credit agreements with third parties or through intercompany borrowings. Pulte Mortgage uses these resources to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market, which generally occurs within 30 days. In September 2012, Pulte Mortgage entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase
46

Agreement”) with third party lenders. The Repurchase Agreement provides for loan purchases of up to $150.0 million, subject to certain sublimits, and borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. At June 30, 2013, Pulte Mortgage had $59.9 million outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement, which expires in September 2013. While there can be no assurances that the Repurchase Agreement can be renewed or replaced on commercially reasonable terms upon its expiration, we believe we have adequate liquidity to meet Pulte Mortgage's anticipated financing needs.
Dividends and share repurchase programs
On July 24, 2013, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share payable in August 2013. This represents our first dividend declaration since the end of 2008. We also increased our common share repurchase authorization by $250.0 million, raising our total available repurchase authorization to $352.3 million of common shares. There have been no repurchases under our authorized stock repurchase programs since 2006.
Cash flows
Operating activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $335.1 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $211.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Generally, the primary drivers of our cash flow from operations are profitability and changes in inventory levels. Our positive cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to our net income of $118.2 million combined with a net decrease in inventories of $32.9 million, a seasonal reduction of $81.3 million in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale, and a $67.5 million increase in accrued and other liabilities. The inventory decrease resulted primarily from a significant reduction in spec homes in production, partially offset by a seasonal increase in sold homes in production. The increase in accrued and other liabilities was due primarily to increased customer deposits related to our higher backlog levels. Our positive cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was mainly due to changes in working capital, including a net decrease in inventory, a seasonal reduction in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale, and an increase in accrued and other liabilities.
Investing activities
Investing activities are generally not a significant source or use of cash for us. Net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $7.4 million, compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The negative cash flow from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to capital expenditures exceeding the decrease in restricted cash we are required to maintain related to our letter of credit facilities, which resulted from a reduction in letters of credit outstanding. The positive cash flow from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was mainly due to the reduction in restricted cash we are required to maintain related to our letter of credit facilities.
Financing activities
Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $519.8 million, compared with net cash used by financing activities of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The negative cash flow from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was due to the early retirement of senior notes, which used $454.3 million of cash, and net repayments of $78.9 million of borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement. The repayments offset the favorable cash impact of the seasonal reduction in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale reflected in operating cash flows.
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 would be adversely affected.
47

Seasonality
We experience variability in our quarterly results from operations due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. Historically, we have experienced increases in revenues and cash flow from operations during the fourth quarter based on the timing of home closings.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our "Contractual Obligations" contained in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation s included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 except for the aforementioned early retirement of senior notes.
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 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 June 30, 2013, we had outstanding letters of credit of $171.6 million. S urety 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 $1.0 billion at June 30, 2013, are typically outstanding over a period of approximately three to five years. Because significant construction and development work has been performed related to the applicable projects but has 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 June 30, 2013, these agreements had an aggregate remaining purchase price of $1.3 billion. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. In certain instances, we are required to record the land under option as if we own it. At June 30, 2013, we consolidated certain land option agreements and recorded assets of $33.8 million as land, not owned, under option agreements.
At June 30, 2013, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $10.4 million, of which our proportionate share of such joint venture debt was $3.1 million. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with those contained in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation s included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
