Investor Verification Checklist
- Review Exhibit 99.1 (the attached news release) for specific GAAP and non-GAAP financial figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
- Verify the reconciliation tables in the earnings release to understand the adjustments made to derive Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations.
- Assess the impact of the homebuilding industry and lumber price volatility on the Company's future outlook as described in the risk factors.
- Confirm the Company's debt service obligations, as Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash required to service debt or pay taxes.
