<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>NET EARNINGS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;We reported a modest loss in the first quarter due to lower closings and revenue compared to
last year, combined with lower margins,&#148; said Steven J. Hilton, chairman and chief executive
officer of Meritage Homes. &#147;The market has obviously softened since the federal home buyer tax
credit expired in April last year, as reflected in total U.S. home sales as well as our own sales
and closings. As a result, we have offered larger incentives in some of our communities, resulting
in lower margins that offset the improvements we are achieving in our new higher-margin
communities.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Meritage reported a net loss of $6.7&nbsp;million or ($0.21) per diluted share for the first
quarter of 2011, compared to net earnings of $2.7&nbsp;million or $0.08 per diluted share for the first
quarter of 2010, which included the benefit of a $2.4&nbsp;million gain from a legal settlement in 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Our
first quarter 2011 closings were down 16% year over year, which is
better than our beginning backlog would have indicated, as it was 29%
lower than prior year,&#148; said Mr. Hilton. &#147;The decline in
closings was less than the decline in backlog because our conversion
rate was higher - we closed 87% of backlog in the first quarter of
2011 compared to 74% in the first quarter of 2010.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Lower closings were partially offset by a 5%
increase in average closing prices, resulting in a 12% decline in closing revenue. ASPs on closings
increased to approximately $262,000 in the first quarter of 2011, from approximately $248,000 in
the first quarter of 2010, reflecting a greater percentage of home closings in higher-priced
communities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">First quarter reported home closing gross margin was 17.1% in 2011, compared to 18.9% in 2010
and 15.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding impairments, 2011 home closing gross margin was
17.5%, 170 basis points lower than one year ago, and 60 basis points below the fourth quarter 2010
gross margin.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Our gross margin contracted as a result of larger incentives offered in response to weaker
market conditions, as well as some negative leverage in our construction overhead due to fewer
closings in the first quarter of 2011,&#148; explained Mr.&nbsp;Hilton.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Our
average margin on closings in the new communities we&#146;ve opened since the beginning of 2009
was approximately 500 basis points higher than the average in our legacy communities,&#148; he
continued.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Approximately 42% of closings and 45% of closing revenue in the first quarter 2011 came from
new communities, compared to 19% of first quarter 2010 closings and revenue.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>SALES ORDERS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;When we reported our fourth quarter 2010 results, we indicated that January sales had been
slightly better than we expected, and we did achieve sequential improvements in our first quarter
orders over the third and fourth quarters of last year,&#148; said Hilton. &#147;However, the spring selling
season for the last few months is off to a tepid start, and we have not produced sales at the pace
we would have hoped this far into the 2011 selling season. We believe the housing market in
general is still bouncing along the bottom, with pockets of strength in certain of our markets.&#148;

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin-left: .25in; width: 7.50in">


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">First
quarter 2011 net orders of 840, or 5.8 per community represented the highest quarterly sales and sales pace since the expiration
of the home buyer tax credit last year. Comparisons to the prior year are difficult, as we believe
2010 sales of 1,064 homes, or 7.0 per community, were elevated by the tax credit. Notably, the company-wide order cancellation rate
remained below its historical average range of 20-25%, at 17% of gross sales in the first quarter
of 2011, compared to 18% in the first quarter of 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The total value of orders declined 18% from the prior year, as the 21% decline in sales was
partially offset by a 4% increase in average sales prices. Average sales prices increased in all of
Meritage&#146;s markets with the exception of California, which was 3% lower than the prior year. The
increase in ASPs primarily reflects a greater share of sales in closer-in communities, as well as
sales of larger homes within certain niche markets.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Our strategic market research department identifies submarkets where demand is strongest, and
we have been successful acquiring lots in those areas, some of which
are in higher-priced communities,&#148; said Mr.&nbsp;Hilton. &#147;This is most recently evident in Colorado and Florida, where we
have grown our sales per community to the highest in the company. In addition, our average prices
there have been trending upward at a greater pace than our other markets.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The company operated with 3% fewer average active communities in the first quarter of 2011
than one year earlier, also contributing to lower sales in 2011. Meritage opened 13 new communities
for sales in the first quarter of 2011, and closed out 23 older communities, ending the quarter
with 141 total active communities. Based on communities in the pipeline, management expects to
re-grow its total active communities to at least 150 by the end of the second quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">As a result of sales outpacing closings in the first quarter, ending backlog increased to a
total value of $245&nbsp;million from year-end 2010. March&nbsp;31, 2011 backlog value was 31% lower than it
was at March&nbsp;31, 2010, as sales generally slowed after the expiration of the 2010 home buyer tax
credit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;We spent $40&nbsp;million to purchase approximately 900 lots during the first quarter of 2011.
Additionally, we contracted for about 1,000 new lots, which included 17 new communities,&#148; said Mr.
Hilton. &#147;The number of newly-contracted lots slightly outpaced our closings and increased our lot supply to
approximately 15,400 total lots. Based on trailing twelve months closings, that equates to a 4.3
year supply of lots.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Earlier this month, we announced our expansion into the Raleigh-Durham market, which was
ranked by Hanley Wood Market Intelligence as the healthiest homebuilding market for 2011,&#148;
continued Mr.&nbsp;Hilton. &#147;This is our first entry into a new market since 2005. We have an
experienced management team that has already contracted for several communities in the area. We
expect to begin selling homes there in the latter part of 2011, and should report our first
closings from this new division early next year.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Meritage ended the quarter with $388&nbsp;million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and
securities. Net debt to total capital ratio was 31% at March&nbsp;31, 2011, compared to of 26% at March
31, 2010 and 28% at December&nbsp;31, 2010.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;We continued to execute on our strategic initiatives that have shown positive results and
will drive our future success,&#148; said Mr.&nbsp;Hilton. &#147;Our strategy has been to select the best
locations we can find for our new communities through rigorous market research; reduce our direct costs and redesign our homes
to offer greater value, as evident in our Simply Smart&#153; Series; reduce cycle times to turn our
assets faster, allowing us to offer a 99-day guaranteed delivery; and design our homes to function
better and cost less to operate through Meritage Green&#153; technologies.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;As one example of our progress, we have exceeded ENERGY STAR<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> standards in every home started
since the beginning of 2010, and were honored to be awarded the ENERGY STAR<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> 2011 Partner of the
Year by the EPA, &#145;for leading the homebuilding industry in reducing energy use through innovative,
high-performance homes.&#146; We have continued to raise the bar for the industry by doubling the
energy-efficiency achievable in homes within our new communities opening this year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;We also just announced our first net-zero house in the community of Verrado in Buckeye,
Arizona. It is designed to produce as much energy as it uses annually, using a solar upgrade
package. We plan to make that upgrade available in every community where we offer solar for as
little as $10,000. It is the first of its kind to be offered by a production homebuilder in the
U.S., creating an entirely new standard for energy efficiency and value.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In conclusion, Mr.&nbsp;Hilton said, &#147;We celebrated Meritage&#146;s 25<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> anniversary in 2010.
I believe we have managed the company well through some very challenging times over the last four
years, and that despite the challenges and unpredictability of this market, we have a reasonable
opportunity to be profitable again in 2011. I am confident in our strategies and the team we have assembled to lead Meritage into our next 25
years.&#148;
