D.R. HORTON, INC. ANNOUNCES INCREASE IN SENIOR UNSECURED REVOLVING BANK CREDIT FACILITY TO $600 MILLION

FORT WORTH, TEXAS – D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:DHI), America’s Builder, announced that it has received additional lending commitments from five banks to increase the capacity of its five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility to $600 million. The facility has also been amended to include an uncommitted accordion feature which could increase the facility to $1 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility’s letter of credit sublimit is 50% of the revolving credit commitment, or $300 million.

The Royal Bank of Scotland plc remains the Sole Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent of the facility. The additional lenders joining the facility as Co-Arrangers are Citibank N.A.; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.; UBS AG, Stamford Branch and Wells Fargo Bank.

Donald R. Horton, Chairman of the Board, said, “We are very pleased to welcome these additional five banks as Co-Arrangers to our revolving credit facility. We appreciate their commitment to D.R. Horton and their support of our business as we prepare to take advantage of profitable growth opportunities across our homebuilding markets.”

Factors that may cause the actual results to be materially different from the future results expressed by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our substantial debt, the incurrence of future debt and our ability to comply with related debt covenants, restrictions and limitations; potential deterioration in homebuilding industry conditions and the current weak U.S. economy; the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry and changes in general economic, real estate and other conditions; constriction of the credit markets, which could limit our ability to access capital and increase our costs of capital; reductions in the availability of mortgage financing and the liquidity provided by government-sponsored enterprises, the effects of government programs, a decrease in our ability to sell mortgage loans on attractive terms and an increase in mortgage interest rates; the risks associated with our land and lot inventory; supply shortages and other risks for acquiring land, building materials and skilled labor; increases in the costs of owning a home; the effects of governmental regulations and environmental matters on our homebuilding operations; the effects of governmental regulation on our financial services operations; the uncertainties inherent in home warranty and construction defect claims matters; competitive conditions within our industry; our ability to effect any future growth strategies successfully; the impact of an inflationary or deflationary environment; our ability to realize the full amount of our deferred income tax asset; and information technology failures and data security breaches.
