1 Forward-looking statements This presentation and the oral statements made by representatives of the Company during the course of this presentation that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “outlook,” “strategy,” “positioned,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “projects,” “estimates” and similar expressions, as well as statements in the future tense. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, individuals considering such statements for any purpose are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and necessarily involve risks that may affect the Company’s business prospects and performance, causing actual results to differ from those discussed during the presentation, and any such difference may be material. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated are discussed in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements made are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond management’s control. These risks include the risks described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. The Company presents Basic Adjusted EPS and Diluted Adjusted EPS and Basic and Diluted Adjusted weighted-average number of shares outstanding, Income before taxes attributable to GRBK and Adjusted Homebuilding Gross Margin. The Company believes these and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating its operating performance and financing structure. The Company also believes these measures facilitate the comparison of their operating performance and financing structure with other companies in the industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited results are based on management’s review of operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, and remain subject to change. Due to the Company’s transition from being a “smaller reporting company” to an “accelerated filer”, the Company has not finished its internal control testing or the evaluation of its compliance and reporting processes and, accordingly, the audit of its financial information is still in process.
