                        CENTEX CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD

               (DALLAS, TX Oct. 23, 2001): Centex Corporation (NYSE: CTX) today
reported record financial results for both the second quarter and the six-month
period ended September 30, 2001--the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 2002.

               Net earnings for the second quarter this year were $93,389,000, a
58% increase over $59,094,000 for the same quarter a year ago. Diluted earnings
per share for the current quarter were $1.50, 53% higher than $0.98 for the same
quarter in fiscal 2001. Current quarter revenues of $1,883,633,000 were 17%
above $1,615,784,000 for the same quarter last year.

               CENTEX'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT WILL CONDUCT A CONFERENCE CALL TO
DISCUSS THE SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OTHER MATTERS AT 11 A.M.
EASTERN TIME (10 A.M. CENTRAL TIME) TODAY. THE CONFERENCE CALL WILL BE WEBCAST
SIMULTANEOUSLY ON THE CENTEX WEB SITE, [WWW.CENTEX.COM]. A REPLAY OF THE CALL
WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THAT SITE UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 29.

               Centex's net earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2002
were $168,605,000, a 57% improvement over $107,299,000 for the same period last
year. Diluted earnings per share of $2.72 were 52% higher than $1.79 per diluted
share for the same period a year ago. Revenues for the first six months of
fiscal 2002 totaled $3,592,778,000, 18% higher than $3,052,406,000 for the same
period in fiscal 2001.

               Net earnings for both the quarter and the six-month period
improved by a slightly higher percentage than diluted earnings per share due to
more average shares outstanding in the fiscal 2002 periods.

               For the first six months of fiscal 2002, Centex's annualized rate
of return on beginning stockholders' equity was 19.7%.

               Through its subsidiaries, Dallas-based Centex ranks among the
nation's leading home builders, non-bank-affiliated retail mortgage originators,
and general building contractors. The Company also has operations in investment
real estate and home services and currently owns approximately 65% of a publicly
held construction products company.

CONVENTIONAL HOMES


               Centex Homes reported a 37% increase in operating earnings on an
11% gain in closings, primarily due to an improvement in its operating margins
to 10.5% for the second quarter this year compared to 8.7% for the same quarter
a year ago. The margin increase was mostly due to sales price increases and
continued cost reductions due to lower raw materials prices and process
improvements.

               Operating earnings from Centex Homes were $123.0 million for this
year's second quarter versus $89.6 million for the second quarter last year.
Revenues from Conventional Homes were $1,171 million, 14% above revenues for the
same quarter last year.

                      CONTRACTING AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

               Contracting and Construction Services reported operating earnings
of $7.3 million for the second quarter this year, an 11% improvement over

revenues of $330.4 million for the quarter a year ago.

                  Contracting and Construction Services received approximately
$387 million of new contracts during the second quarter this year, 7% less than

uncompleted construction projects at September 30, 2001 was a record $2,149
million, 46% higher than the backlog of $1,472 million at September 30, 2000.

                             INVESTMENT REAL ESTATE

               For the second quarter of fiscal 2002, Centex's Investment Real

CENTEX CORPORATION


               The improvement for both the quarter and the six months were due
to the timing of land sales and other transactions, which fluctuates from
quarter to quarter.

               Included in Investment Real Estate are results from London,
England-based Fairclough Homes, which began reporting as of April 1, 2001.
Fairclough closed 315 homes during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and
reported operating earnings of $3.2 million. For the six months ended September
30, 2001, Fairclough delivered 614 homes and had operating earnings of $5.6
million


                             HOME SERVICES AND OTHER

               Home Services and Other reported $2.6 million in operating
earnings for the quarter this year versus $1.6 million for the same quarter last
year. For the current six month period, Home Services and Other reported
operating earnings of $4.5 million compared to $1.9 million for the same period
last year.

                                     OUTLOOK

               Centex said that home sales (orders) slowed somewhat for several
weeks following Sept. 11, but that sales began to increase again in early
October as mortgage interest rates declined. Conventional Home Building margins
should continue to increase and fiscal 2002 results from that segment are
expected to exceed fiscal 2001's record levels. Centex said it also expects
all-time-high results from its Financial Services business and its Contracting
and Construction Services division. Gypsum wallboard prices have begun to
increase and cement pricing remains steady. In summary, Centex said it still
expects fiscal 2002 to be its sixth consecutive year of record results with
earnings in the range of $5.65 per diluted share, versus the $4.65 per share
that the Company reported for fiscal 2001.
