         (DALLAS, TX October 22, 2002): Centex Corporation (NYSE: CTX) today
reported record financial results for the quarter and the six-month period ended
September 30, 2002 - the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2003.

         Net earnings for Centex's second quarter this year were $115,609,000, a
24% increase over $93,389,000 for the same quarter a year ago. Diluted earnings
per share for the current quarter were $1.83, 22% higher than $1.50 per diluted
share for the same quarter in fiscal 2002. Current quarter revenues of
$2,083,769,000 were 11% above $1,883,633,000 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, INCLUDING MANAGEMENT'S
VIEWS ON THE REMAINDER OF THE FISCAL YEAR, AT 11 A.M. EDT (10 A.M. CDT ) TODAY.
THE CONFERENCE CALL WILL BE WEBCAST SIMULTANEOUSLY ON THE CENTEX WEB SITE,
http://www.centex.com. REPLAYS OF THE CALL WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THAT SITE UNTIL
MIDNIGHT CST ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2002.

         Centex's net earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2003 were
$203,364,000, a 21% gain over $168,605,000 for the same period in the prior
fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share of $3.21 for this year's six-month
period were 18% higher than $2.72 per diluted share for the same period a year
ago. Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2003 totaled $3,927,624,000, 9%
higher than $3,592,778,000 for the same period in fiscal 2002.

         Net earnings for both the quarter and the six months improved by a
slightly higher percentage than diluted earnings per share due to a higher
number of average shares outstanding in the fiscal 2003 periods.

         Through its subsidiaries, Dallas-based Centex ranks among the nation's
largest home builders, non-bank-affiliated retail mortgage originators and
commercial contractors. The Company also has operations in investment real
estate and owns 65.2% of Centex Construction Products, Inc., a publicly held

Estate operations, which include all investment property transactions and the
results from the U.K. operations, had operating earnings of $5.9 million, 63%

this year, Investment Real Estate reported operating earnings of $9.3 million,
70% less than $31.4 million for the same period a year ago. Current year results

         London, England-based Fairclough Homes, Centex's U.K.-based home
building operation that is owned by Centex Development Company, L. P., closed
383 homes during the second quarter of fiscal 2003 versus 315 units for the same

                               OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

         During the second quarter, Centex announced that the Company would
begin expensing the cost of future stock option grants starting with fiscal year
2004, which begins April 1, 2003. If Centex were to continue to award option
grants at levels consistent with prior years, the impact for fiscal 2004 would
reduce projected diluted earnings per share by approximately 2% under current
accounting policies.

         Also during the quarter, Centex Homes announced that it intends to
acquire substantially all of the St. Louis and Indianapolis home building
operations of The Jones Company, headquartered in St. Louis. The acquisition, to
be completed in January 2003, is expected to add approximately 800 units
annually to Centex Homes' closings.

         Centex also announced that its Dallas-based commercial construction
subsidiary, part of the minority-enhanced joint venture of Dallas Fort Worth
Integrated Partners (DFWIA), has been named the prime contractor for the Dallas
Fort Worth International Airport, effective November 1, 2002. The airport
project, with a value that could approach $1.5 billion over the next four years,
is expected to involve the construction of a new $800 million terminal, new
parking garages and security modifications, as well as environmental
improvements.

         In addition, during the second quarter Centex HomeTeam Services sold
substantially all of its chemical lawn care operation. Centex is exiting the
lawn care business because it believed that the strategic advantage the Company
possesses in providing pest management systems to the new home market could not
be duplicated in the lawn care business.

                                     OUTLOOK

         Centex noted the significant improvement in its home sales throughout
the quarter and said that its home closings, margins and earnings should
continue increasing during the balance of fiscal 2003 to record levels.
Financial Services, Construction Services and Construction Products should
report better results than last year, and Centex expects fiscal 2003 to be its
seventh consecutive fiscal year of record earnings.
