Disclosure Statement

This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements that are not statements of historical fact, including

statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal

securities laws, and should be evaluated as such. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s

future goals, expected growth, market conditions and outlook, expected liquidity and possible or assumed future results of

operations, including descriptions of its business plan and strategies. These forward-looking statements may be identified by

the use of such forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “seek,”

“predict,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “possible,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “forecast,” or “assume”

or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology.

For more information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-

looking statements please refer to the “Risk Factors” section in our most recent report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities

and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2014 and subsequent filings by the Company. The Company bases these

forward-looking statements or projections on its current expectations, plans and assumptions that it has made in light of its

experience in the industry, as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and

other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances and at such time. As you read and consider this presentation,

you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. The forward-looking statements

and projections are subject to and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and you should not place undue reliance on

these forward-looking statements or projections. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements and

projections are based on reasonable assumptions at the time they are made, you should be aware that many factors could

affect the Company’s actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from

those expressed in the forward-looking statements and projections. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise

any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. If the Company does

update one or more forward-looking statements, there should be no inference that it will make additional updates with respect

to those or other forward-looking statements.

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this

presentation contains the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted gross margin from homes

delivered. The reasons for the use of these measures, a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable

GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included below in the appendix to this presentation.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Gross Margin from Homes Delivered

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have provided information in this presentation

relating to Adjusted gross margin from homes delivered, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below).

Adjusted Gross Margin from Homes Delivered

We calculate adjusted gross margin from homes delivered by subtracting the gross margin from land and home sites from Homebuilding gross margin to arrive

at gross margin from homes delivered. Adjusted gross margin from homes delivered is calculated by adding asset impairments, if any, and capitalized interest

in cost of sales to gross margin from homes delivered. Management uses adjusted gross margin from homes delivered to evaluate operating performance in

our Homebuilding segment and in making strategic decisions regarding sales price, construction and development pace, product mix and other operating

decisions. We believe adjusted gross margin from homes delivered is relevant and useful to investors and other interested parties for evaluating our

comparative operating performance from period to period and among companies within the homebuilding industry as it is reflective of overall profitability during

any given reporting period. This measure is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for,

the comparable GAAP financial measures when evaluating our operating performance. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar

information, the methods used by such companies may differ from our methodology and, therefore, may not be comparable. We urge investors and other

interested parties to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate gross margins and any adjustments to such

amounts before comparing our measures to those of such other companies.

The table below reconciles adjusted gross margin from homes delivered to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Homebuilding gross margin,

for the years presented herein.

20

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA measures performance by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of WCI Communities, Inc. to exclude

interest expense, capitalized interest in cost of sales, income taxes, depreciation (‘‘EBITDA’’), preferred stock dividends, income from discontinued

operations, other income, stock-based and other non-cash long-term incentive compensation expense, and expenses related to early repayment of

debt. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and other interested parties regarding our results

of operations because it assists those parties and us when analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. We also believe

that Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period and among companies in the homebuilding

industry as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect

of our capital structure (such as preferred stock dividends and interest expense), asset base (primarily depreciation), items outside of our control

(primarily income taxes) and the volatility related to the timing and extent of non-operating activities (such as discontinued operations and asset

impairments). Accordingly, we believe that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other

companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to Adjusted

EBITDA of other companies. Although we use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of

Adjusted EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and income taxes, necessary to operate our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders

of WCI Communities, Inc. in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be

construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our EBITDA-based measures have limitations

as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analyses of our results as reported under GAAP. Some such

limitations are:

they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;

they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows;

they do not reflect the interest expense necessary to service our debt; and

other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, thereby limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, our EBITDA-based measures are not intended to be alternatives to net income (loss), indicators of our operating

performance, alternatives to any other measure of performance in conformity with GAAP or alternatives to cash flow provided by operating activities

as measures of liquidity. You should therefore not place undue reliance on our EBITDA-based measures or ratios calculated using those measures.

Our GAAP-based measures can be found in our audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The table below reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss) attributable to

common shareholders of WCI Communities, Inc., for the years presented herein.

21

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(1) Represents capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales on home deliveries and land lot sales.

(2) Represents the Company’s income tax benefit from continuing operations as reported in its consolidated statements of operations, including (i) a reversal of

$125.6 million of deferred tax asset valuation allowances during the year ended December 31, 2013 and (ii) a $50.5 million income tax benefit during the year ended

December 31, 2012 due to the reversal of a tax liability that resulted from the successful completion of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service pertaining to the
