Centex

Centex Corporation (NYSE|CTX) began trading publicly in 1969. Since the company’s founding in 1950 as a Dallas-based residential construction company, it has evolved into a company whose principal operations are focused on residential and commercial construction and related activities, including mortgage financing.

As of 2007, its subsidiary companies operated in the principal business segments of Home Building and Financial Services.

Home Building’s operations currently involve the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of detached and attached single-family homes (including resort and second home properties and lots) and land or lots. The company has participated in the homebuilding business since 1950 and, in 2005, is the 4th largest homebuilder in the U.S., based on the total number of closings.

Financial Services’ operations consist primarily of mortgage lending, title agency services, and the sale of title insurance and other insurance products. These activities include mortgage origination, servicing, and other related services for homes sold by its subsidiaries and others. The company has been in the mortgage lending business since 1973.

Prior to March 2007, Centex also operated in the commercial construction industry, having purchased a Dallas-based commercial contractor in 1966 (whose business dated back to 1936). Its operations involved the construction of buildings for both private and government interests, including educational institutions, hospitals, multi-unit residential buildings, correctional institutions, airport facilities, office buildings, hotels and resorts, and sports facilities. In March 2007, Centex sold its commercial construction operations to Balfour Beatty, a British-based construction company, in order to focus completely on the residential housing market.

As of April 2008, the HomeTeam Pest Defense division of Centex was purchased by Rollins Inc., a premier North American consumer and commercial services company. Centex sold HomeTeam Pest Defense to maintain focus on residential home construction market.
