Sector Backdrop
Sector has weathered the crisis and is approaching a more normalized operating environment
– Earnings expected to return to “normalized” levels into 2016
– Deferred tax assets from losses / impairments in downturn largely utilized
Recent expansion with ~8 new IPOs since 2013
– Primarily regional players without the scale / reach of the mid-to-large cap homebuilders
– New entrant equity market capitalizations largely well below $1.0Bn
Homebuilders have been going “long” land as the market recovers, volumes increase, and land becomes more constrained
– “Land developers like Banff are positioned to capture the majority of the benefit from rising home prices because of the highly fragmenting and intensely competitive homebuilding industry.”
– RBC, Sept. 23, 2013
BANFF OVERVIEW
Homebuilding Sector Backdrop and Banff Review
Banff Summary Observations
Unique vertically integrated business model – land developer and homebuilder
– High relative ASPs driven by U.S. product mix and market locations
– Best-in-class gross margins driven by lot sales activity, longer dated land supply at lower cost basis, and more stable Canadian land business
– Recent emphasis on growing U.S. homebuilder operations, which provides for strong growth trajectory
(i.e., in Denver, Austin, Phoenix markets), but comes with execution risk
Large land inventory with one of the longest years of supply (~18 years) in the sector
– Vast majority of lot equivalents inventory represents land held for development (~90k of the total ~107k) versus land under development / optioned lots (~15k) and housing units or model homes (~2k)
– Portfolio features several large, MPC projects with long-term (10+ years) sell-out periods
A national builder with a focused geographic footprint (operates on both coasts, select growth markets, and Canada – but in targeted markets in these broad regions) and large concentrations in its top 5 / 6 markets
– U.S. market fundamentals generally continue to recover / improve post-crisis, although 2014 has been at a more measured pace
– Canadian markets did not experience the same degree of slowdown that the U.S. did and fundamentals have been stable / positive, although potential concern that the Alberta markets (~40% concentration) could be impacted in the event of a prolonged decline in oil prices
Given its business model, land inventory profile, and its large presence in both the U.S. and Canada, there is no true “comp” for Banff, although a box can be drawn around select public homebuilders with certain portfolio / financial / operational characteristics similar to Banff
– Capital structure and size / scale also inform the selection of comparable companies and point toward the more established mid / large cap homebuilders versus the recent micro / small cap homebuilder entrants to the sector

Some of the considerations for Banff are performance-related (e.g., lot count and home deliveries) whereas others (e.g., interest rate risk, oil prices) are more macro in nature

Key Themes – Attributes
Strong gross margin performance. Banff’s preferred land position gives management confidence that the company can sustain a gross margin in excess of 20% in the home building operation
Increased new residential construction activity and better financial performance represent potential catalysts for share price appreciation
Potential for home deliveries to double (from ~2,500 currently to ~5,000 in three to four years)
Sustained consumer demand translating into a high absorption rate in Canadian markets
Key Themes – Considerations
Above average geographic concentration (Alberta) and potential impact from any slowdown in natural gas/oil demand
Smaller scale homebuilding operations in the United States
Potential for outsized balance sheet impairments if home prices decline
Limited secondary liquidity
Interest rate risk, making home ownership more expensive

2 Analyst Commentary Following Blue Mountain’s Offer
“Investor Focus: 1) New order trends & ASP growth; 2) Operating margin performance; 3) Material and labor costs; 4) Land prices; and 5) The board of directors for Banff has established a special committee to review the proposed acquisition of the remaining 30% of the company’s shares not currently owned by Blue Mountain.”
- RBC, Nov. 4, 2014
“We are maintaining our Sector Perform rating and raising our price target to $24. We believe that the special committee might ask Blue Mountain to pay a premium to the current offer of $23/share.”
- RBC, Nov. 4, 2014
“With shares trading slightly above the offer price, we do not see significant further upside. Our fundamental estimated valuation range is $24 - $25.”
- Wells Fargo, Oct. 24, 2014
“We view today’s announcement that Blue Mountain (Baa2/A-) has proposed to acquire the 30% of Banff (B1/B+) it does not already own as a credit positive for Banff (B1/B+).”
- Citi, Oct. 23, 2014
“We believe that it is more likely than not that the transaction goes through. However, we imagine investors may push back on valuation given the stock traded as high as $24.25 in January 2014.”
- Citi, Oct. 23, 2014

2 Analyst Commentary On Homebuilder Valuation
Pricing Metrics
“The earliest data we have shows that homebuilder forward P/Es traded in a range around 10x after housing had recovered from the trough in the 1990s.”
– Barclays, Oct. 22, 2012
“In a normal environment, we typically see homebuilding stocks trading at 9 to 10 times forward earnings.”
– Credit Suisse, May 20, 2013
“The (homebuilding) group should trade in a range of 10x – 14x during a peak environment”
– JMP, July 2014
“We begin by assuming that the builders should trade at a base recovery multiple of 1.75x book value. For each company in our coverage universe we then adjust this multiple up or down depending on profit, growth, risks and other factors.”
– Deutsche Bank, Feb. 25, 2013
Canadian Housing Market
“Canada’s mortgage market possesses several attributes that positively distinguish it from the U.S. market, in our view, which in turn should help prevent a material decline in home prices as seen in the U.S. from 2006-2009.”
– J.P. Morgan, May 20, 2013
Land Development / Purchasing Raw Land
“However, this strategy also carries significant risk, as land values are highly volatile and levered to changes in home prices, moving 2-4% for every 1% change in home prices. This occurs since land is typically valued on a residual basis and development and direct construction costs tend to be stickier than home prices (both on the way up and on the way down).”
– Credit Suisse, May 20, 2013
“Our gross margin assumptions are: 25% for properties purchased during the boom (2004-2007), 50% for properties purchased in 2000, and 80% for properties purchased before 1985.”
– Deutsche Bank, Jan. 5, 2014
“We then discount those cash flows at a discount rate of 12% to find the present value of the property.”
– Deutsche Bank, Nov. 5, 2014
Higher Income Earning Demographic
“Moreover, given the wealth of this demographic, the broader macro picture has less of an impact to some extent on their purchase decisions (excluding the Great Recession when fear drove this demographic to keep capital on the sidelines). And, the high income demographic in the US has been growing at a faster rate than all households combined.”
– Bank of America, Jan. 20, 2013

2015 seen as a “ramp” year with earnings still growing for homebuilders
Price / 2016E Earnings viewed by research analysts as a “stabilized” year with a return to “normalization” for earnings multiples
As such, 2016 earnings multiples utilized for valuation purposes
Due to higher margins, anticipated growth and longer land supply being beneficial at this point in the housing cycle, slightly higher than mean multiples selected
Banff capital structure generally in-line with selected comparables so no adjustments made for purposes of application of levered multiples

Business Plan Strategy
Increasing the housing business across the board
– Goal to drive each business group to 400 to 500 home closings per year (~5,000 units in totality)
– Majority of lot sales will continue to be to third-party builders
Increasing the volume of annual lot sales
– Goal to reach ~5,000 lot sales per year
– Focus will be normal course lot sales (with a focus on driving growth in markets like Denver and Austin), but will also include some opportunistic land sales once value has been created through the entitlement process
Overall, the Company expects to increase its pace of monetization and reduce its land supply over the next several years to an 8-10 year of supply of land

Management Projections Key Assumptions – Based on 2015 to 2019 Business Plan
Management’s 2015-2019 business plan represents management’s best currently available estimates and judgments of the future five-year financial performance of the Company
The business plan is a bottoms-up consolidation of the project-level projections provided on a region-by-region basis
– Canadian markets assumed to be at similar levels to 2014 throughout the projections period, with no inflation built into the Canadian projects
– U.S. markets assumed to be at similar or marginally better levels to 2014 throughout the projections period
The business plan includes all projects currently owned as of the business plan and also assumes $1.7Bn of gross acquisitions throughout the projections period (with approximately $200MM of committed acquisitions and approximately $1.5Bn of uncommitted acquisitions)
– The total number of active housing communities continues to increase through 2015 and averages 76 throughout the projections period (with a peak of 82 active housing communities in 2017)
Interest expense on project debt on land held for development is expensed in the projections, interest expense on the $500MM of U.S. unsecured notes is capitalized to active projects, and existing capitalized interest is expensed throughout the projections period as assets are sold
The tax rate in the U.S. is assumed to be 39.0%, Alberta 25.0%, and Ontario 26.5%; taxes assumed to be paid in cash with no tax liability established in the projections
Canadian dollar amounts are converted at 0.90:1 throughout the five-year projections period
Operational Highlights
Total home closings double from ~2,900 in 2015 to ~5,600 in 2019
Total lot closings (excluding bulk sales transactions) are generally in the 4,000 to 5,000 range each year
Bulk sales transactions assume the monetization of 6,335 lots and 3,760 acres, generating approximately $375MM of cash proceeds
Absorption rate (sales per community per week) ranges from 0.9 to 1.4, with an average of 1.2
Total lot equivalents inventory reduced from 107,611 to approximately 63,500 at the of the projections period

7 Net Asset Value Analysis
Valuation Approach Summary
Methodology Summary
Project-by-project discounted cash flow analysis was used to value Banff’s land and housing assets
Other assets and liabilities are valued at their current book value as of 9/30/14, except where noted
(i.e. Banff’s notes payable which include a mark-to-market adjustment)
Net asset value analysis conducts valuation of Banff on its current portfolio, and therefore does not
include franchise value and future growth activities
Discounted Cash Flow Framework
Future cash flows were based on management projections
Discount rate methodology:
– Length of project: higher discount rates were used for projects that have a longer-term projections
period
– Status of entitlement: unentitled projects were then given an incremental discount rate increase to
account for entitlement risk
– Macro / market observations: further incremental adjustments (increase or decrease to discount
rates) were also made based on a subjective assessment of certain economic, macro fundamentals,
and / or market factors impacting Banff’s projections
Augmented NAV Analysis Methodology Summary (1)
In order to fully capture the franchise value of the continuing, retained ability of Banff to generate
homebuilder profit by buying land at market value and selling homes, an augmentation to the basic
NAV approach is implemented
– Current homebuilder value minus the present value of housing profits implied by the NAV analysis is
utilized to arrive at an incremental franchise value not captured in the underlying NAV cash flow
projections

As discount rates are varied, different incremental uncaptured housing values are derived
– 12% discount rate: $5.55 per share
– 10% discount rate: $5.34 per share
– 8% discount rate: $5.07 per share
Augmented NAV value excludes, and the approach is inconsistent with, the concept of pure franchise value

Valuation Approach Summary
NAV Analysis Augmentation Overview
Incremental homebuilder franchise value can be captured by comparing the current franchise equity value attributable to Banff’s homebuilding platform to homebuilding profit implied by revenue projections in the NAV analysis
Current Homebuilder Valuation Assumptions
Housing net margin: 6.6%
– Median net margin of select public homebuilder companies
Revenue: projected 2016 housing revenue of $1.96Bn
– Per company projections
Housing multiple: 8.5x
– Median 2016 P/E multiple of select public homebuilder companies

Housing revenues are grown or reduced at per annum compounded-rates over the projection period or over a portion of it This is in addition to minimal inflation assumption embedded in Management’s projection (6 projects pricing assumed to increase at 1% -3% for 3 - 5 years)
The tables compare the impact of applying a 2x or 3x multiple to the housing revenue growth rates to arrive at land revenue growth to reflect the higher sensitivity of land values as home prices rise and fall
Housing-Land growth rate ratio of 1:2 leads to a 1% housing revenue growth (and therefore 2% land revenue growth) equating to a 3.5% net cash flow growth
– 1:3 ratio results in a 1% housing revenue growth equating to a 4.6% net cash flow growth

In this analysis, cash flows were accelerated or delayed in different increments to illustrate the impact of potential absorption slippage
The first table illustrates the impact of a one-time delay in all cash flows
– All cash flows are pushed back by the slippage amount
The second table captures the impact of a scenario in which everything takes proportionately more time to achieve a project’s cash flow
– Cash flows are stretched out;
2-year cash flows are delayed by 5% of 2 years, 3-year cash flows delayed by 5% of 3 years, etc.
All sensitivities are shown on a pre-tax basis

Incorporation of Banff’s housing business into its current land development platforms in Austin and Phoenix has the potential to increase future cash flows
– Housing division in Austin will begin delivering homes in 4Q’14, per Banff management
– Housing division in Phoenix will be developed in-house
Shifting the current cash flow projections higher by 21% across Austin and Phoenix results in a per share NAV change of $0.41 at the midpoint
