Miami, January 11, 2011 – Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 30, 2010. Fourth quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2010 were $32.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to fourth quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar of $35.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in 2009. Net earnings attributable to Lennar for the year ended November 30, 2010 were $95.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Lennar of $417.1 million, or $2.45 per diluted share.

Stuart Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lennar Corporation, said, “We are very pleased to report net earnings of $32 million for our fourth quarter, which despite the challenging housing market, makes it our third consecutive profitable quarter. Our intense focus on construction costs, product re-engineering, and S,G&A reduction all contributed to improved gross and operating margins year over year and a full year of profitability in fiscal 2010.”

Mr. Miller continued, “During the fourth quarter, we continued to contract for new, high-margin communities to bolster our profitability in 2011. These strategic land purchases utilize extremely conservative underwriting standards and should generate out-sized returns.”

“Our Rialto Investments segment continued to add healthy profits to our bottom line, generating $12.4 million of operating earnings in the fourth quarter. During the quarter, we completed the acquisition, at a significant discount, of approximately $740 million of distressed real estate assets from three large financial institutions. These acquisitions should create significant long-term value for our shareholders. In the fourth quarter, we also completed the first closing of our Rialto real estate investment fund with initial equity commitments of approximately $300 million (including $75 million committed by us). Through the fund, we will continue to invest in distressed opportunities that will contribute to our future earnings.”

Mr. Miller concluded, “Although high unemployment, tight lending standards and low consumer confidence continue to present challenges for the housing industry, we are confident that 2011 will be another profitable year. Our homebuilding segment is on the right track to achieving sustainable profitability and our Rialto Investments segment will enhance our earnings as the housing market stabilizes and ultimately recovers.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009

Lennar Homebuilding

Revenues from home sales decreased 13% in the fourth quarter of 2010 to $725.8 million from $830.2 million in 2009. Revenues were lower primarily due to a 12% decrease in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, decreased to 3,060 homes in the fourth quarter of 2010 from 3,488 homes last year. The average sales price of homes delivered in both the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $238,000. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $33,700 per home delivered in the fourth quarter of 2010, or 12.4% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $36,300 per home delivered in the same period last year, or 13.2% as a percentage of home sales revenue.

Gross margins on home sales were $128.7 million, or 17.7%, in the fourth quarter of 2010, which included $22.3 million of valuation adjustments, compared to gross margins on home sales of $92.2 million, or 11.1%, in the fourth quarter of 2009, which included $55.5 million of valuation adjustments. Gross margin percentage on home sales improved compared to last year primarily due to a reduction in valuation adjustments and reduced sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced by $32.7 million, or 24%, in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to reductions in legal, personnel and occupancy expenses. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 14.1% in the fourth quarter of 2010, from 16.2% in 2009.

Gross profits on land sales totaled $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to the recognition of deferred revenue related to a profit participation agreement. Gross profits on land sales were net of $3.1 million in write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs. Losses on land sales totaled $161.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, which included $102.4 million of valuation adjustments (of which $71.6 million related to actual land sales completed during the fourth quarter of 2009) and $63.6 million in write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs.

Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities in the fourth quarter of 2009 of $25.8 million, which included $20.9 million of valuation adjustments related to assets of unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments.

Other income (expense), net, totaled $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, net of $1.2 million of valuation adjustments to the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities, compared to other income (expense), net, of ($25.3) million in the fourth quarter of 2009, which included $17.2 million of valuation adjustments to the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities and $9.1 million of write-offs of notes and other receivables.

Homebuilding interest expense was $36.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 ($19.7 million was included in cost of homes sold, $0.6 million in cost of land sold and $16.6 million in other interest expense), compared to $47.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 ($21.9 million was included in cost of homes sold, $4.1 million in cost of land sold and $21.9 million in other interest expense). Despite an increase in debt, interest expense decreased due to a lower average rate of interest incurred in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the same period last year and an increase in qualifying assets eligible for interest capitalization.

Sales of land, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities, other income (expense), net and net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests may vary significantly from period to period depending on the timing of land sales and other transactions entered into by the Company and unconsolidated entities in which it has investments.

Lennar Financial Services

Operating earnings for the Lennar Financial Services segment was $11.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $7.8 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to higher volume and profits per loan in the segment’s mortgage operations.

Rialto Investments

In the fourth quarter of 2010, operating earnings for the Rialto Investments segment were $25.1 million (which included $12.7 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to an operating loss of $1.0 million in the same period last year. In the fourth quarter of 2010, revenues in this segment were $19.7 million, which consisted primarily of accretable interest income associated with the portfolio of real estate loans acquired in partnership with the FDIC. In the fourth quarter of 2010, other income, net was $17.3 million, which consisted primarily of gains on the sale of real estate owned (“REO”) and gains upon foreclosure of REO. The segment also had equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities of $9.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2010, consisting primarily of interest income and unrealized gains related to the Company’s investment in the AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AB”) fund formed under the Federal government’s Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”). In the fourth quarter of 2010, expenses in this segment were $20.8 million, which consisted primarily of the carrying costs related to its portfolio operations, underwriting expenses related to both completed and abandoned transactions, and other general and administrative expenses.

The combined portfolio included 397 loans with a total unpaid principal balance of approximately $529 million and 306 REO properties with an appraised value of approximately $211 million. The distressed real estate assets were acquired at a discount. The Company paid $310 million for the distressed real estate assets of which, $125 million was a 5-year senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling financial institutions. Interest income recorded during the period related to this portfolio was not significant.

In November 2010, the Rialto Investments segment completed its first closing of a real estate investment fund (the “Fund”) with initial equity commitments of approximately $300 million (including $75 million committed by the Company).
