MIAMI, June 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation's leading homebuilders, today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2023. Second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2023 were $872 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, compared to second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2022 of $1.3 billion, or $4.49 per diluted share. Excluding mark-to-market gains (losses) on technology investments in both years, second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2023 were $852 million or $2.94 per diluted share, compared to second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2022 of $1.4 billion or $4.69 per diluted share.

Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman of Lennar, said, "During the quarter, we continued to see the housing market normalize and recover from the Fed's 2022 aggressive interest rate hikes in response to elevated inflation. As consumers have come to accept a "new normal" range for interest rates, demand has accelerated, leaving the market to reconcile the chronic supply shortage derived from over a decade of production deficits. Simply put, America needs more housing, particularly affordable workforce housing, and demand is strong when price and interest rates are affordable."

Mr. Miller continued, "Against this backdrop, our second quarter earnings were $872 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, compared to $1.3 billion, or $4.49 per diluted share last year. This quarter's results reflect the execution of our previously articulated operating strategies of pricing to market and meeting demand with affordable pricing and incentives. Accordingly, while our average sales price per home delivered was $449,000 in the second quarter, compared to almost $500,000 at the peak last year, our home deliveries were 17,074, up 3%, and our new orders were 17,885, up 1%, year over year. Our homebuilding gross margin started to bounce back in the second quarter to 22.5%, reflecting cost reductions, and with carefully managed homebuilding S,G&A expenses of 6.7%, led to a 15.8% net margin."

"While our operating performance remains strong, we continue to strengthen and fortify our balance sheet and our future. We ended the quarter with homebuilding debt to capital of 13.3%, the lowest in our history, no borrowings on our $2.6 billion revolver and cash of $4.0 billion. With liquidity of $6.6 billion and cash on hand exceeding our debt, our balance sheet has never been in a stronger position."

Rick Beckwitt, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of Lennar, said, "Much of our balance sheet and inventory management progress was driven by the execution of our land strategy, while simultaneously driving sales, deliveries and managing production. Our ending community count for the quarter was 1,263, which was up 3% over last year. We continued to make significant progress on our land light strategy. This was evidenced by our years supply of owned homesites improving to 1.7 years from 2.4 years and our controlled homesite percentage increasing to 70% from 68% year over year."

Jon Jaffe, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of Lennar, said, "During the quarter, consistent with our strategy of cost control and cycle time reduction, our homebuilding machine continued to be intensely focused on carefully managing production. Our cycle time during the quarter was down slightly sequentially, and we believe it will decline further in the back half of the year as the improving supply chain and labor market will positively impact our production times. Our quarterly starts and sales pace were 5.3 homes and 4.8 homes per community, respectively, and we ended the second quarter with approximately 1,300 completed, unsold homes, about one home per community, demonstrating our focus on inventory management."

Mr. Miller concluded, "Interest rates appear to have settled into a fairly steady, yet higher range, with the consumer digesting the current housing market, as evidenced by the strong spring selling season. As we always do, we are going to remain vigilant as the housing market continues to rebalance the interplay between short supply with strong demand. As we look ahead to our third quarter, we expect to deliver between 17,750 to 18,250 homes with a gross margin between 23.5% to 24.0%. For the full year 2023, we expect to deliver between 68,000 to 70,000 homes (up from our prior guidance of between 62,000 to 66,000 homes). We continue to fortify our balance sheet with significant liquidity and operate from a position of strength, repurchasing stock and reducing debt, thus enabling us to continue to execute on our core strategies and outperform in periods of growth as well as uncertainty."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2023 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2022

Homebuilding

Revenues from home sales decreased 4% in the second quarter of 2023 to $7.6 billion from $8.0 billion in the second quarter of 2022. Revenues were lower primarily due to a 7% decrease in average sales price of home deliveries, partially offset by a 3% increase in the number of home deliveries. New home deliveries increased to 17,074 homes in the second quarter of 2023 from 16,549 homes second quarter of 2022. The average sales price of homes delivered was $449,000 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $483,000 in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to pricing to market and product mix.

Gross margins on home sales were $1.7 billion, or 22.5%, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $2.4 billion, or 29.5%, in the second quarter of 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, gross margin decreased because revenues per square foot decreased year over year as the Company priced homes to market and costs per square foot increased primarily due to higher materials and labor costs. In addition, land costs increased year over year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $511 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $487 million in the second quarter of 2022. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.7% in the second quarter of 2023, from 6.1% in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in the use of brokers in current market conditions.

Financial Services

Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $112 million, net of noncontrolling interests, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $104 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to a higher profit per locked loan in the Company's mortgage business as a result of higher margins, partially offset by lower lock volume. There was also an increase in profitability in the Company's title business primarily due to benefits of the Company's technology efforts.

Other Ancillary Businesses

Operating loss for the Multifamily segment was $8 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to operating earnings of $1 million in the second quarter of 2022. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $18 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to operating loss of $108 million in the second quarter of 2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2023 COMPARED TO
SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2022

Homebuilding

Revenues from home sales were $13.7 billion in both the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022. Revenues were flat primarily because a 6% increase in the number of home deliveries was offset by a 5% decrease in average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries increased to 30,733 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2023 from 29,087 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2022. The average sales price of homes delivered was $449,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $472,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2022. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the six months ended May 31, 2023 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to pricing to market and product mix.

Gross margins on home sales were $3.0 billion, or 21.9%, in the six months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $3.9 billion, or 28.4%, in the six months ended May 31, 2022. During the six months ended May 31, 2023, gross margin decreased because revenues per square foot decreased year over year as the Company priced homes to market and costs per square foot increased primarily due to higher materials and labor costs. In addition, land costs increased year over year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $960 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $915 million in the six months ended May 31, 2022. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 7.0% in the six months ended May 31, 2023, from 6.7% in the six months ended May 31, 2022.

Financial Services

Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $191 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $195 million in the six months ended May 31, 2022. 

Other Ancillary Businesses

Operating loss for the Multifamily segment was $30 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023, compared to operating earnings of $6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2022. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $58 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023, compared to operating loss of $512 million in the six months ended May 31, 2022.

Tax Rate

For the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had a tax provision of $466 million and $600 million, respectively, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 24.1% and 24.7%, respectively. In the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company's overall effective income tax rate was lower than last year primarily due to the reinstatement of the new energy efficient homes credit as a result of the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act during the third quarter of 2022.

Share Repurchases

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 2 million shares of its common stock for $208 million at an average share price of $103.91. During the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 4 million shares of its common stock for $397 million at an average share price of $99.25.

Debt Repurchases

During the three months ended May 31, 2023, the Company repurchased $158 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due in fiscal 2024.

Liquidity

At May 31, 2023, the Company had $4.0 billion of Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings under its $2.6 billion revolving credit facility, thereby providing approximately $6.6 billion of available capacity.

(1)	Amount represents interest incurred related to homebuilding debt.
(2)	EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest and taxes. This financial measure has been presented because the Company finds it important and useful in evaluating its performance and believes that it helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare its operations with those of its competitors. Although management finds EBIT to be an important measure in conducting and evaluating the Company's operations, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool as it is not reflective of the actual profitability generated by the Company during the period. Management compensates for the limitations of using EBIT by using this non-GAAP measure only to supplement the Company's GAAP results. Due to the limitations discussed, EBIT should not be viewed in isolation, as it is not a substitute for GAAP measures.

Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). The Company believes the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in homebuilding operations. However, because net homebuilding debt to total capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement the Company's GAAP results.
