(a)    The fair values of the equity awards were calculated using valuation assumptions that materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant, including: (1) the fair value of RSU awards was calculated using the closing price of our common stock as of the last day of the applicable year or on the date of vesting, as applicable; (2) the fair value of CFCF PSU award was estimated using the closing stock price of our common stock as of the last day of the applicable year and adjusted for management's estimate of performance; (3) the fair values of rTSR PSU award and the 2024 segment of the 2024-2026 PSU awards were estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulation method (which reflects for each particular award and valuation date adjustments for: estimates of performance, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, correlation coefficient, and dividend yield); and (4) the fair value of options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (which reflects for each particular award and valuation date: adjustments for expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, expected term—calculated using the simplified method, and stock price).
For each year, the value of RSU awards, PSU awards and stock option awards used to calculate Compensation Actually Paid reflect the following assumptions:

(6)Operating EBITDA is our primary non-GAAP measure. Effective December 31, 2024, the Company updated its definition of Operating EBITDA to include adjustments for non-cash stock-based compensation and legal contingencies unrelated to normal operations which currently includes industry-wide antitrust lawsuits and class action lawsuits to conform with similar adjustments and measures disclosed by industry competitors. These changes have been applied retrospectively to prior periods to enhance comparability. See Annex A for a definition of Operating EBITDA, an explanation of why we believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors and the limitations of this measure as an analytical tool.

(a)    The fair values of the equity awards were calculated using valuation assumptions that materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant, including: (1) the fair value of RSU awards was calculated using the closing price of our common stock as of the last day of the applicable year or on the date of vesting, as applicable; (2) the fair value of CFCF PSU award was estimated using the closing stock price of our common stock as of the last day of the applicable year and adjusted for management's estimate of performance; (3) the fair values of rTSR PSU award and the 2024 segment of the 2024-2026 PSU awards were estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulation method (which reflects for each particular award and valuation date adjustments for: estimates of performance, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, correlation coefficient, and dividend yield); and (4) the fair value of options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (which reflects for each particular award and valuation date: adjustments for expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, expected term—calculated using the simplified method, and stock price).
For each year, the value of RSU awards, PSU awards and stock option awards used to calculate Compensation Actually Paid reflect the following assumptions:

[5] Peer group is the S&P Home Builders Select Industry index, or XHB Index (which includes a diversified group of holdings representing home building, building products, home furnishings and home appliances). The XHB Index is the published industry or line-of-business index utilized in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
[6] Represents the amount of net income (loss) reflected in our audited financial statements for each applicable fiscal year.
[7] Operating EBITDA is our primary non-GAAP measure. Effective December 31, 2024, the Company updated its definition of Operating EBITDA to include adjustments for non-cash stock-based compensation and legal contingencies unrelated to normal operations which currently includes industry-wide antitrust lawsuits and class action lawsuits to conform with similar adjustments and measures disclosed by industry competitors. These changes have been applied retrospectively to prior periods to enhance comparability. See Annex A for a definition of Operating EBITDA, an explanation of why we believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors and the limitations of this measure as an analytical tool.
