                  CENTEX REPORTS RECORD FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

              COMPANY MARKS FIFTH CONSECUTIVE RECORD EARNINGS YEAR

     (DALLAS, TX April 25, 2001): Centex Corporation (NYSE: CTX) today announced
the highest earnings for any quarter in its history for the quarter ended March
31, 2001, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, as well as record results for the
fiscal year.

     Centex said the strong fourth quarter results were due primarily to a
record performance by Centex Homes, the company's conventional home building
subsidiary. These gains were accompanied by excellent results from CTX Mortgage
Company as a result of the vibrant refinancing market, a strong quarter for
Investment Real Estate, and improved earnings from Centex Construction Group.
Centex noted that the company's overall record performance occurred despite
depressed earnings from its Construction Products subsidiary and its Home Equity
lending business and non-cash charges in its Manufactured Homes subsidiary.

     For this year's fourth quarter, Centex reported net earnings of
$106,211,000, 52% higher than $70,025,000 for the same quarter last year.
Diluted earnings per share of $1.73 this year were 48% higher than $1.17 per
diluted share for the same quarter a year ago. Revenues for the fourth quarter
this year rose 15% to $2,004,831,000 from $1,739,334,000 for the same quarter in
fiscal 2000.

     For fiscal 2001, Centex reported a 10% increase in net earnings to
$281,977,000 or $4.65 per diluted share from net earnings of $257,132,000 or
$4.22 per diluted share for fiscal 2000. Consolidated revenues for fiscal 2001
reached an all-time high $6,710,735,000, 12% higher than $6,008,136,000 for
fiscal 2000. Centex's return on beginning stockholders' equity was 19.9% for
fiscal 2001 versus 21.5% for the prior year.

     Earnings per share for the quarter rose a lower percentage than net
earnings due to a higher number of average shares outstanding in the current
period.

     Through its subsidiaries, Centex ranks among the nation's leading home
builders, non-bank-affiliated retail mortgage banking lenders and commercial
contractors. Centex also has an investment real estate operation and currently
owns approximately 65.2% of Centex Construction Products, Inc., a publicly
traded company.

                              CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS

     Operating earnings from Centex Construction Products, Inc. (CXP) were $9.7
million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, 73% less than $36.0 million for
the same quarter in fiscal 2000. Revenues from CXP were $105.9 million for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, 3% lower than $109.1 million for the year ago
period.

     For fiscal 2001, operating earnings from CXP were $99.4 million, 41% less
than fiscal 2000 earnings of $168.6 million. Fiscal 2001 revenues from CXP were
$441.1 million, 6% less than revenues of $470.5 million for the prior year.

     For both the current fourth quarter and fiscal 2001, sales volumes in each
of CXP's business segments exceeded sales volumes for the year ago periods, and
Cement, along with Concrete and Aggregates, reported all-time high operating
earnings. However, CXP's total earnings for both the current quarter and fiscal
year declined from the year-ago periods due to lower Gypsum Wallboard pricing
and higher fuel and energy costs.

                               OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, Centex Homes completed two
acquisitions. Centex Homes acquired the assets of the home building business of
The Selective Group, based in Farmington Hills, Mich. The acquisition expands
Centex Homes' presence in Michigan. Centex Homes also acquired the home building
business of CityHomes, a leading builder of upscale urban townhomes in Dallas.
This acquisition provides Centex Homes with a successful model in the urban
residential market that the company plans to expand to other major cities.

     After the end of the quarter, Centex HomeTeam Pest Management, a subsidiary
of Centex HomeTeam Services, announced the acquisition of Unified Services, Inc.
of Atlanta, Ga. and Unified's subsidiaries. The acquisition places Centex
HomeTeam among the four largest pest control companies in the United States,
based on revenue.

                                     OUTLOOK

     Centex said the company entered fiscal 2002 with a record backlog of home
sales and that recent declines in interest rates should continue to stimulate
home orders. The company noted that its mortgage refinancing business has
accelerated as a result of lower interest rates, and that Centex Home Equity's
servicing portfolio is increasing, both of which should have a substantial
positive effect on Financial Services' results in the new fiscal year. In
addition, results from Centex's UK home building operation will be additive in
fiscal 2002 and the Centex Construction Group enters fiscal 2002 with the
highest backlog and operating margins in its history. However, Construction
Products earnings are expected to continue to be impacted by depressed Gypsum
Wallboard prices.

     Centex expects fiscal 2002 will be the Company's sixth consecutive record
year.
