2-2-2

Miami, June 23, 2011 — Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2011. Second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2011 were $13.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar of $39.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in 2010.

Stuart Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Lennar Corporation, said, “We are pleased to report EPS of $0.07 for our second fiscal quarter of 2011. Despite operating in a challenging housing market that saw very little evidence of a spring selling season, we were still able to achieve strong results, making this our fifth consecutive quarter of profitability. Our new orders during the quarter were flat with last year notwithstanding the elevated level of sales in March and April of the prior year due to the Federal homebuyer tax credit. For the month of May, new orders were up over 30%, while new orders declined approximately 11% in the prior two months. Given that the housing stimulus tax credit was eliminated in May 2010, we should experience favorable year-over-year comparisons going forward.”

Mr. Miller continued, “During the quarter, we continued to focus on the basics of our core homebuilding business. We benefitted greatly from our strategic capital investments in new high margin communities, which helped produce one of the highest gross margins in the industry. Our homebuilding operations were also driven by the reinvigoration of our Everything’s Included marketing platform and by our continued focus on reducing construction costs and controlling overhead.”

Mr. Miller concluded, “Our strong balance sheet and liquidity will allow us to continue to purchase new strategic high margin land deals for our homebuilding business and distressed opportunities for our Rialto business. Given current market conditions, we remain confident that our company is well positioned for a profitable year in 2011.”

Revenues from home sales decreased 6% in the second quarter of 2011 to $649.8 million from $694.8 million in 2010.
