History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation)
Centex Corporation is a Nevada corporation. Our common stock, par value $.25 per share, began trading publicly in 1969. Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, and the London Stock Exchange. As of May 15, 2003, 62,251,136 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Any reference herein to we, us or our includes Centex Corporation and its subsidiary companies. Since our founding in 1950 as a Dallas, Texas-based residential construction company, we have evolved into a multi-industry company. Our subsidiary companies operate in five principal business segments: Home Building, Financial Services, Construction Products, Construction Services and Investment Real Estate. We provide a brief overview of each segment below, and we provide a more detailed discussion of each segment later in this section. Our Home Building operations currently involve the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of single-family homes, townhomes and low-rise condominiums. We have participated in the conventional homebuilding business since 1950. Home Building internally tracks its performance compared to the last reported twelve months of revenues for its competitors. Based on Home Building's comparisons, we believe that it ranked as the nation's fourth largest homebuilder at March 31, 2003. Our Financial Services operations primarily are engaged in the residential mortgage banking business, as well as in other financial services that are in large part related to the residential mortgage market. These operations include mortgage origination, servicing and other related services for purchasers of homes sold by our Home Building operations and other homebuilders, as well as sub-prime home equity lending and the sale of title insurance and various other insurance coverages. We have been in the mortgage banking business since 1973. Our Construction Products operations involve the manufacture, production, distribution and sale of cement, gypsum wallboard, recycled paperboard, aggregates and readymix concrete. Our involvement in the construction products business started in 1963 when we began construction of our first cement plant. During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, our construction products subsidiary, Centex Construction Products, Inc., completed an initial public offering of 51% of its stock and began trading on the NYSE under the symbol "CXP." Primarily as a result of Construction Products' repurchase of its own stock, our ownership has increased to 65.1% as of March 31, 2003. Accordingly, we have consolidated Construction Products' financial statements with our financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, or fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001. Our Construction Services operations involve the construction of buildings for both private and government interests, including office, commercial and industrial buildings, hospitals, hotels, correctional facilities, educational institutions, museums, libraries, airport facilities and sports facilities. We entered the Construction Services business in 1966 by acquiring a Dallas-based contractor that had been in business since 1936. We also acquired significant construction companies in 1978, 1982, 1987 and 1990. Our Investment Real Estate operations involve the acquisition, development and sale of land, primarily for industrial, office, multi-family, retail, residential and mixed-use projects. Through our investment in Centex Development Company, the operations also include the International Home Building business located in the United Kingdom. In fiscal 1988, we established Centex Development Company. Please refer to Part B of this Report for a discussion of the business of Centex Development Company.
