  2. Agenda U.S. Construction Market Indicators and Sectors The Environment -- Macroeconomic Picture Single Family Housing and Multifamily Housing Commercial Building Institutional Building, plus Manufacturing Bldgs. Public Works and Electric Utilities Total Construction Regional – The Southeast Cycle Charts

  3. U.S. Construction Market Indicators Total Construction – starts leveled off in 2010 and 2011; put in place bottomed out in 2011. During 2012 – moderate upward movement for both series.

  4. U.S. Construction Sectors (Starts) Residential Building strengthening; Commercial bldg. beginning to edge up. Institutional bldg. still in retreat; Public Works dealing with budget cuts.

  5. U.S. Macroeconomic Picture Economic growth picked up in 2013 Q1, after flattening out in 2012 Q4. On balance, the pace of economic expansion remains lackluster. • GDP Pattern: • HistoryForecast • 2009 20102011 20122013 • -3.1% +2.4% +1.8% +2.2% +2.2% • Shape of Recovery: • Subdued – • Periods of moderate expansion have • been followed by deceleration. • Much of 2012 was adversely • affected by • Continued uncertainty, due to • European debt crisis • November 2012 elections • Fiscal Cliff • One plus – corporate profits healthy • For 2013 – how much of a drag will • come from sequester, higher • payroll taxes.

  6. U.S. Macroeconomic Picture After weakening in 2012 Q2, employment growth strengthened in second half of 2012. Pattern so far in 2013 has shown uneven improvement. • Jobs lost from Feb.’08 to Feb. ’10: 8.7 Million. • Job creation so far in 2010-2013: 6.2 Million. Unemployment rate at 7.5% • Job growth in Jan.-Mar. ’12 : 262,000 /mo • in Apr.-June ’12: 108,000 /mo • in July‘12-Dec.’12: 180,000 /mo • in Jan.’13-Apr.’13: 196,000 /mo

  7. U.S. Macroeconomic Picture Fiscal Cliff Averted, but Sequestration Began March 1. • Fiscal Cliff Deferred by January 1 Agreement • -For high income earners, income tax rate raised from 35% to 39.6%. • For those below the thresholds, tax rates remain unchanged. • -Automatic spending cuts called for by the Budget Control Act of 2011, which would have • reduced spending on discretionary federal spending by about 8%, deferred until March 1. • - Payroll tax cut, which lowered rate from 6.2% to 4.2%, allowed to expire • Sequestration Now in Effect • -$85 billion in cuts over next 7 months; $1.2 trillion in cuts over next ten years. • -Impact not immediate; will kick in over several months as gov’t agencies implement cuts. • - CBO: without sequestration, GDP growth would be 0.6% higher, 750.000 more full-time jobs • - Cuts to major construction programs estimated at $4 billion • Biggest hits – Dept. of Energy environmental cleanup • EPA water infrastructure • Military construction • - Infrastructure accounts financed by trusts funds are largely exempt from the sequester • Including – Federal-aid highway funding • Airport Improvement Program construction grants • Some transit aid • Veterans Administration construction accounts also exempt.

  8. U.S. Macroeconomic Picture Funding from federal government still constrained. • Fiscal 2013 Appropriations • A continuing resolution passed in September 2012, • kept funding essentially steady through • March 27, 2013. (Included 0.6% hike for domestic • discretionary programs.) • In late March, Congress passed another continuing • resolution, financing federal programs through • September 30, 2013. Sets highway and transit • funding at MAP-21 levels. • Fiscal 2012 Appropriations • Federal highway program trimmed 5% to $39 bil. High-speed rail received zero funding again Mass transit account increased 5% • Other accounts generally lower: • Clean Water SRF’s cut 4% Drinking Water SRF’s cut 5% GSA new construction account cut 39% GSA repairs &renovation account unchanged DOD base closure account cut 77% DOD other military construction cut 8% VA major construction projects cut 45% Corps of Engineers construction increased 5%

  9. U.S. Macroeconomic Picture State fiscal health improving, although still fragile for some states. • Many states have faced large budget shortfalls, including the following states with the gaps closed when fiscal year 2012 budgets were adopted: • California ($23 billion) • Illinois ($5 billion) • New Jersey ($10 billion) • New York ($10 billion) • Florida ($4 billion) Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities • Significantly – State Fiscal Stabilization Fund support under ARRA has diminished substantially – 2010: $61 billion 2011: $52 billion 2012: $ 5 billion 2013: $ 0.5 billion Note: For fiscal year 2012, if TX and AK excluded, then year-end balance is 3.8%. For fiscal 2012, 12 states enacted budgets with balance levels below 1%, while 19 states enacted budgets with balance levels between 1% and 5%. Adequate fiscal cushion for a state is when year-end balance is at least 5%.

  10. U.S. Macroeconomic Picture Lending standards for commercial real estate loans continue to show gradual easing. • Lending standards for commercial real • estate loans have eased for 9 straight qtrs. • Lending standards for C&I loans have • eased for 13 out of 14 quarters. • But, lending standards for residential • mortgage loans have only recently shown • some easing – • 5% of lending officers in Jan. 2013 survey • 8% of lending officers in Apr. 2013 survey • Several major projects have resumed construction • Impact of financial regulatory reform? • Mortgage Bankers Survey results – • commercial and multifamily mortgage • originations up 24% in 2012.

  11. U.S. Single Family Housing Signs of improving single family market – rising home sales, stabilizing prices. • Single Family Housing • 2009435,000 units -21% • 2010446,000 units +2% • 413,000 units -7% • 516,000 units +25%

U.S. Single Family Housing Signs of improving single family market. • Inventory of new homes for sale fell to 4.0 months in January, lowest since 2004. • Record low mortgage rates – reached 3.3% • In late 2012, although edged up to 3.4% -3.6% • in early 2013, before retreating to 3.4%. • However, lending standards for home • mortgages remain tight. • Demographic demand: 1 to 1.2 million units • per year. Will it be helped by by echo boom • moving into their 20’s? Single Family Housing 2013640,000 units +24%

  13. U.S. Multifamily Housing Construction has shown steady gains since 2010, still going. • Apartments led early upturn. • Some benefit from stimulus act -- • Affordable housing projects • received a boost. • Helped by push for • downtown redevelopment. • Demographics supportive, from both empty-nesters and now young adults. • Rental vacancy rates retreating, rents are increasing. • Condominium projects now picking up. • Compared to commercial building, • still a relatively attractive investment target given more stable revenue. • . • Multifamily Housing • 2009 136,000 units -55% • 2010 157,000 units +15% • 215,000 units +37% • 274,000 units +28% • 330,000 units +20%

  14. U.S. Commercial - Stores After steep decline in 2008-2010, store construction is turning the corner. • Derived demand from housing market – definitely true on the downside of the cycle; now beginning to show on upside. • Recent retail sales have fluctuated. • Payroll tax increase could be a negative • for consumer spending in near term. • Some outlet mall projects starting, • along with projects by a few major • retailers. • Extreme discounters (Family Dollar, • Dollar General) still expanding. • Store renovations have seen • much smaller decline. • Stores and Shopping Centers • 2009 96 msf -54% • 2010 81 msf -16% • 84 msf +4% • 104 msf +23% • 122 msf +18%

In 2011 and • 2012, several large facilities built for • Amazon.com. • Continued need for updated facilities • to handle improved inventory management • practices. • Increased trade would help lift demand • for warehouse space Imports/exports • likely to be dampened in near term, • due to global economic slowdown. • Warehouses • 2009 68 msf -65% • 2010 49 msf -28% • 63 msf +28% • 93 msf +48% • 114 msf +23%
