KB Home is a Fortune 500 company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the
ticker symbol “KBH.” We are one of the nation’s largest homebuilders and
commemorated our 50th year in the homebuilding industry in 2007. We construct
and sell homes through our operating divisions across the United States under
the name KB Home. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “the
Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” used herein refer to KB Home, a Delaware
corporation, and its predecessors and subsidiaries.
Beginning in 1957 and continuing until 1986, our business was operated through
various subsidiaries of Kaufman and Broad, Inc. (“KBI”) and its predecessors. In
1986, KBI transferred to us the outstanding capital stock of its subsidiaries
conducting KBI’s homebuilding and mortgage banking business. Shortly thereafter,
we completed an initial public offering of 8% of our common stock and began
operating under the name Kaufman and Broad Home Corporation.
