PGT ’ s Core Geographic Market is in Early Stages of Recovery • Florida ’ s downturn in new home construction has been significantly more pronounced than in other parts of the U.S. – Since 2005 peak levels, single-family starts are down nearly 85% – Since hitting trough levels in 2009, starts have recovered modestly in the last two years; however, starts remain well below normalized levels • Based on average single-family starts per thousand since 1990, normalized annual starts are estimated to be over 100,000 versus 31,888 starts in 2011 • Given the overbuild that occurred in Florida, we anticipate a prolonged period of time to revert to start levels consistent with longer-term historical averages Florida Single-Family Housing Starts (in thousands) 200 160 120 80 40 0 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012P FL Single-Family Starts 81,965 68,296 80,873 89,713 93,316 79,016 87,252 86,260 95,299 99,188 97,697 107,615 122,546 146,692 172,408 193,111 132,635 63,953 39,269 25,730 31,543 31,888 35,477 FL Population (in thousands ) 12,938 13,289 13,505 13,714 13,962 14,185 14,427 14,683 14,908 15,111 16,049 16,349 16,668 16,959 17,343 17,736 18,058 18,251 18,389 18,496 18,496 19,057 - Start per Thousand 6.3 5.1 6.0 6.5 6.7 5.6 6.0 5.9 6.4 6.6 6.1 6.6 7.4 8.6 9.9 10.9 7.3 3.5 2.1 1.4 1.7 1.7 -
