Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) Forestar’s Segment EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The company believes presenting non-GAAP Segment EBITDA is helpful to analyze financial performance without the impact of items that may obscure trends in the company’s underlying performance. A detailed reconciliation is provided below outlining the differences between these non- GAAP measures and the directly related GAAP measures. Fourth Quarter Full Year ($ in millions) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Real Estate Segment Earnings in accordance with GAAP $37.9 $30.0 $67.7 $96.9 Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization 1.8 1.7 7.6 3.7 Real Estate Segment EBITDA $39.7 $31.7 $75.3 $100.6 Oil & Gas Segment Earnings (Loss) in accordance with GAAP ($38.4) ($39.0) ($184.4) ($22.7) Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization 4.2 8.8 28.8 29.5 Oil and Gas Segment EBITDA ($34.2) ($30.2) ($155.6) $6.8 Other Natural Resources Segment Earnings in accordance with GAAP ($0.1) $3.3 ($0.6) $5.5 Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization 0.1 0.1 0.5 0.5 Other Natural Resources Segment EBITDA $--- $3.4 ($0.1) $6.0 Total Segment Total Segment Earnings (Loss) in accordance with GAAP ($0.6) ($5.7) ($117.3) $79.7 Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization 6.1 10.6 36.9 33.7 Total Segment EBITDA $5.5 $4.9 ($80.4) $113.4 18


 
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) 19 In our fourth quarter and full year 2015 earnings release and conference call presentation materials furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K on March 2, 2016, we used certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP financial statements and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) The following table shows a reconciliation of net income before special items and earnings per share excluding special items to net income and earnings per share (the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP). Net income excluding special items and earnings per share excluding special items are useful to evaluate the performance of the company because it excludes non-recurring non-cash impairments and other costs, which management believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of the business. A reconciliation of net income and earnings per share excluding special items to net income and earnings per share as computed under GAAP is illustrated below: Fourth Quarter Full Year ($ in millions except per share data) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Net Income (Loss) – As Reported ($6.2) ($11.8) ($213.0) $16.6 Net Income (Loss) Per Share – As Reported ($0.18) ($0.34) ($6.22) $0.38 Special Items Deferred Tax Asset Valuation (2.9) ---- 96.0 ---- Oil & Gas Proved Property Impairments 10.8 10.1 69.6 10.1 Oil & Gas Unproved Leasehold Interest Impairments 13.6 9.8 37.4 11.1 Severance and Other Costs ---- 3.3 2.2 3.3 Total Special Items (after-tax) $21.5 $23.2 $205.2 $24.5 Total Special Items Per Share (after-tax) $0.63 $0.66 $5.99 $0.56 Net Income (Loss) – Excluding Special Items $15.3 $11.4 ($7.8) $41.1 Net Income (Loss) Per Share – Excluding Special Items $0.45 $0.32 ($0.23) $0.94
