FORESTAR GROUP INC. REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER 2013 RESULTS


AUSTIN, TEXAS, November 6, 2013—Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR) today reported third quarter 2013 net income of approximately $11.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with a third quarter 2012 net loss of approximately ($0.7) million, or ($0.02) per share outstanding. Third quarter 2013 results include a previously unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $6.3 million, or $0.17 per share, related to qualified timber gains. Third quarter 2012 results include a gain of approximately $10.2 million, or $0.19 per share, after-tax, from the sale of the Broadstone Memorial multifamily community in Houston. In addition, third quarter 2012 results include after-tax expenses of approximately ($5.0) million, or ($0.14) per share, after-tax, principally associated with acquisition of Credo Petroleum Corporation and extinguishment of debt related to amendment and extension of our term loan.

“During third quarter, we continued to see accelerating momentum in real estate sales as well as in oil and gas production. Residential lot demand continues to strengthen evidenced by higher lot sales and average per lot pricing compared with third quarter 2012. Third quarter residential lot sales were the highest since we became a public company in 2007. Multifamily market fundamentals remain favorable in our target markets as we continue to expand our pipeline of projects and sites. In addition, improving oil and gas segment results reflect higher levels of oil production, driven by increased investments in exploration and drilling activity in the Bakken/Three Forks formations in North Dakota and the Lansing-Kansas City formation in Kansas and Nebraska. Given our attractive pipeline of opportunities and our success to date, we look forward to additional oil and gas investments expected to grow production, reserves and earnings. Likewise, given the solid housing recovery, we anticipate continued investments in real estate,” said Jim DeCosmo, president and chief executive officer of Forestar Group.

Third Quarter 2013 Significant Highlights

Sold 547 developed residential lots, up over 103% compared with third quarter 2012, with average lot margins up over 28% compared with third quarter 2012
Oil production up over 170% compared with third quarter 2012, with 41 new wells drilled in third quarter 2013
Forestar manages its operations through three business segments: real estate, oil and gas and other natural resources.

Third quarter 2013 real estate segment earnings were higher compared with third quarter 2012 principally due to higher average prices and margins for residential lots, increased residential lot sales, increased average pricing for commercial acreage sold and higher undeveloped land sales. In addition, third quarter 2012 real estate segment earnings include a $10.2 million gain associated with the sale of Broadstone Memorial, a multifamily community in Houston. Real estate segment earnings increased in third quarter 2013 compared with second quarter 2013 primarily due to higher residential lot sales, improved lot pricing and margins and increased commercial acreage sales.

OIL AND GAS

Third Quarter 2013 Significant Highlights (Includes Ventures)

Oil production up over 170% compared with third quarter 2012, principally due to the acquisition of Credo Petroleum and additional investments principally targeting the Bakken/Three Forks and the Lansing-Kansas City formations
31 new productive gross oil and gas wells drilled; 18 wells waiting on completion at quarter-end
Leased over 7,500 net mineral acres principally in Texas to third parties for nearly $2.0 million

Oil and gas segment earnings increased in third quarter 2013 compared with third quarter 2012 principally due to higher oil production, primarily associated with the acquisition of Credo Petroleum, and higher oil and gas pricing, partially offset by reduced oil volumes associated with royalties from our owned mineral interests, and lower lease bonus revenues. Oil and gas segment earnings increased in third quarter 2013 compared with second quarter 2013 principally due to higher lease bonus revenues, increased oil and natural gas pricing and higher oil production.

OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES

Third Quarter 2013 Significant Highlights (Includes Ventures)

Sold nearly 141,000 tons of fiber for $17.33 per ton
Recreational leasing remains strong

Third quarter 2013 other natural resources segment earnings were essentially flat compared with third quarter 2012 principally due to fiber sales volumes declining by over 56,000 tons primarily due to scheduled maintenance outages taken by our customers, offset by a 50% increase in average pricing per ton. Other natural resources segment earnings decreased in third quarter 2013 compared with second quarter 2013 principally due to lower fiber sales.

OUTLOOK

“We remain confident toward delivering our Triple in FOR strategic initiatives, focused on accelerating value realization, increasing transparency and disclosure, and growing our net asset value through strategic and disciplined investments. We anticipate meeting our 2013 objectives of 1,900 residential lot sales and production of 1.1 million barrels of oil equivalent, and expect accelerated momentum in real estate sales and oil production in 2014.

"Housing markets continue to show growing demand for residential lots, and increased interest in residential and commercial tracts. We continue to accelerate real estate development activities to meet growing builder demand. Our multifamily team continues to build a solid pipeline of multifamily development sites, with construction at our multifamily ventures in Austin and Denver on target to begin delivering units in 2013 and at our wholly-owned project in Midtown Cedar Hill in Dallas in 2014. Our multifamily site in Nashville is expected to be under construction by first quarter 2014 and we acquired a multifamily site in Denver in October. We will continue to evaluate and acquire additional multifamily sites to further develop our pipeline.

“In oil and gas, we continue to increase our investment in exploration and drilling activity, growing production, reserves and value. During third quarter, we participated in an increase in North Dakota drilling activity, with approximately 9 gross Bakken or Three Forks wells (5% average working interest) having initial production during the quarter and 18 gross Bakken or Three Forks wells (7% average working interest) waiting on completion at quarter end, the highest number of wells waiting on completion since we began participating in drilling activity in the Bakken/Three Forks. In addition, exploration and drilling activity in Kansas and Nebraska also continued to increase during third quarter, with combined exploration success rates exceeding 50%. We anticipate drilling activity in the Bakken/Three Forks will continue to accelerate over the next several quarters as operators further shift to pad drilling, which is expected to result in additional production growth, improving economic recoveries, lower well costs and higher returns. As a result of the increased exploration and drilling activity, we would expect our working interest investments to essentially double in 2014 and to continue to exceed our underwriting criteria while delivering returns well above our cost of capital.

“We continue to see significant opportunities for growth through disciplined investment in our oil and gas and real estate businesses. We are well positioned for the remainder of 2013 and for continued momentum in real estate sales and oil production in 2014,” concluded Mr. DeCosmo.

 _____________________
(a) 
A project is deemed entitled when all major discretionary governmental land-use approvals have been received. Some projects may require additional permits and/or non-governmental authorizations for development.
(b) 
Interest owned reflects our net equity interest in the project, whether owned directly or indirectly. There are some projects that have multiple ownership structures within them. Accordingly, portions of these projects may appear as owned, consolidated or accounted for using the equity method.
(c) 
Lots are for the total project, regardless of our ownership interest. Lots remaining represent vacant developed lots, lots under development and future planned lots and are subject to change based on business plan revisions.

12




(d) 
Commercial acres are for the total project, regardless of our ownership interest, and are net developable acres, which may be fewer than the gross acres available in the project.
(e) 
The Lantana project consists of a series of 23 partnerships in which our voting interests range from 25 percent to 55 percent. We account for two of these partnerships using the equity method and we consolidate the remaining partnerships.
(f) 
Excludes acres associated with commercial and income producing properties.
