FORESTAR GROUP INC. REPORTS FULL YEAR
AND FOURTH QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
AUSTIN, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 13, 2014—Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR) today reported full year 2013 net income of approximately $29.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared with full year 2012 net income of approximately $12.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share outstanding. Full year 2013 results include a previously unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $6.3 million, or $0.17 per share, related to qualified timber gains. Full year 2012 results include after-tax expenses of approximately ($4.1) million, or ($0.12) per share, associated with acquisition of CREDO Petroleum Corporation, and an after-tax loss of ($2.9) million, or ($0.08) per share, associated with loss on extinguishment of debt related to amendment and extension of our term loan.
“During 2013, housing markets continued to strengthen and we experienced the highest level of residential lot sales and margins since 2006. In addition, residential tract sales strengthened, reflecting robust builder demand for lot positions. Commercial tract sales also increased, commensurate with a broadening real estate recovery. Multifamily demand, which has led the way in this housing recovery, remained solid in our target markets.
“Oil and gas investments and production continued to increase in the Bakken / Three Forks formations in North Dakota and in the Lansing-Kansas City formation in Kansas and Nebraska. In addition, total proved reserves increased nearly 52% to 8.5 million BOE (barrel of oil equivalent) despite producing almost 1.1 million BOE during 2013, which represents a strong pipeline of future opportunities to accelerate oil and gas production and returns,” said Jim DeCosmo, president and chief executive officer of Forestar Group.

|
Fourth quarter and full year 2013 real estate segment earnings were higher compared with fourth quarter and full year 2012 principally due to higher average prices and margins for residential lots, increased residential lot sales, and higher commercial and residential tract sales. In addition, fourth quarter and full year 2012 real estate segment earnings include an $8.2 million gain associated with a venture's sale of the Las Brisas multifamily community near Austin.

|
Oil and gas segment earnings decreased in fourth quarter 2013 compared with fourth quarter 2012 principally due to higher exploration costs in Kansas and Nebraska, higher production costs and increased operating expenses. In addition, fourth quarter 2013 oil production in the Bakken / Three Forks in North Dakota was negatively impacted by severe weather conditions. Oil and gas segment earnings decreased in full year 2013 compared with full year 2012 principally due to lower lease bonus revenues and delay rentals, lower oil royalties, higher exploration and production costs, and higher operating expenses.

Fourth quarter and full year 2013 other natural resources segment earnings increased compared with fourth quarter and full year 2012 principally due to a $3.8 million gain associated with termination of a timber lease in connection with the sale of over 2,400 acres from the Ironstob venture near Atlanta. Fiber sales were down in fourth quarter 2013 compared with fourth quarter 2012 principally due to scheduled mill outages by customers. Fiber sales and pricing were higher in full year 2013 compared with 2012.
OUTLOOK
“Housing markets continue to show steady demand for residential lots and increased interest in residential and commercial tracts. As a result, we continue to accelerate real estate development activities to meet growing demand. Our multifamily team continues to build a solid pipeline of multifamily development sites, with our multifamily venture project in Austin on target to be sold in the first half of 2014 and construction continuing on over 650 units for projects in Denver and Dallas. In January 2014, we formed a venture for development of our multifamily site in Nashville. We will continue to evaluate and acquire additional multifamily sites to further develop our pipeline.
“In oil and gas, year-end 2013 total proved reserves are approximately 8.5 million BOE (barrel of oil equivalent), up nearly 52% compared with year-end 2012, principally a reflection of our investment in exploration and drilling activity, growing production, reserves and value. During 2013, we participated in accelerated exploration and drilling activity in North Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska. During the year, we participated in approximately 44 gross wells in North Dakota, essentially doubling the number of working interest wells in the Bakken or Three Forks compared with year-end 2012. In addition, we participated in drilling approximately 36 gross wells in Kansas and Nebraska, representing a 50% increase in the number of working interest wells in the Lansing-Kansas City formation compared with year-end 2012. Going forward, we anticipate our working interest investments in the Bakken/Three Forks and Lansing-Kansas City formations to essentially double in 2014. As a result, we expect 2014 capital expenditures for oil and gas to reach approximately $175 - 200 million and anticipate our share of total production in 2014 to exceed 1.6 million BOE, a nearly 50% increase compared with 2013.
“Since year-end 2011, we have been focused on executing and delivering our Triple in FOR strategic initiatives by improving financial performance, increasing transparency and disclosure and growing our business through strategic and disciplined investments. The combination of our value creation strategy, a solid balance sheet, improving market conditions and attractive investment opportunities for our oil and gas and real estate businesses have us well positioned to further grow earnings and returns,” concluded Mr. DeCosmo.

(a) | A project is deemed entitled when all major discretionary governmental land-use approvals have been received. Some projects may require additional permits and/or non-governmental authorizations for development. |
| |
(b) | Interest owned reflects our net equity interest in the project, whether owned directly or indirectly. There are some projects that have multiple ownership structures within them. Accordingly, portions of these projects may appear as owned, consolidated or accounted for using the equity method. |
| |
(c) | Lots are for the total project, regardless of our ownership interest. Lots remaining represent vacant developed lots, lots under development and future planned lots and are subject to change based on business plan revisions. |
| |
(d) | Commercial acres are for the total project, regardless of our ownership interest, and are net developable acres, which may be fewer than the gross acres available in the project. |
| |
(e) | The Lantana project consists of a series of 24 partnerships in which our voting interests range from 25 percent to 55 percent. We account for two of these partnerships using the equity method and we consolidate the remaining partnerships. |
