Miami, September 20, 2016 -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, today reported results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2016. Third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2016 were $235.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2015 of $223.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted share.
Stuart Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Lennar Corporation, said, "We are very pleased, once again to announce very solid quarterly results for our company, with third quarter earnings per share of $1.01. While the housing market’s recovery has continued to progress on a slow, steady and sometimes, choppy path, we have continued to manage our sales and delivery targets in the 7% - 10% range, while focusing on bottom-line profitability and balance sheet strength.
"Our third quarter new orders and home deliveries increased 8% and 7% year-over-year, respectively, to 7,018 homes and 6,779 homes, respectively. Our core homebuilding business continued to produce solid operating results in the third quarter of 2016 as our operating margin was 13.2%, notwithstanding a lower gross margin in the quarter, as expected. We continue to see benefits stemming from our focus on S,G&A generally, and digital marketing in particular, which helped to reduce S,G&A as a percentage of home sales revenues to 9.3%.
"We have continued to focus our land spend on high quality, 'A' locations while also ramping up our first-time homebuyer land positions as that segment of the market continues to improve. Meanwhile, our balance sheet continues to strengthen, positioning us well to seize unique, strategic opportunities as they present themselves."
Mr. Miller continued, "Alongside our homebuilding business, our financial services operations reported strong earnings of $53.2 million in our third quarter, our highest earnings for this segment since the third quarter of 2006. The 35% increase in earnings, compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to an increase in refinance volume and higher profit per transaction in our mortgage and title operations."
Mr. Miller concluded, "Our homebuilding business and financial services operations continue to be the primary drivers of our quarterly results and earnings growth. Concurrently, our ancillary businesses of Rialto, Lennar Multifamily and FivePoint continue to mature and position our company for even stronger, long-term value creation."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2016 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2015
Lennar Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 11% in the third quarter of 2016 to $2.4 billion from $2.2 billion in the third quarter of 2015. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 7% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 3% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 6,758 homes in the third quarter of 2016 from 6,314 homes in the third quarter of 2015. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of the Company's Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other, except in Homebuilding Houston. The decrease in home deliveries in Houston was primarily due to less demand in the higher priced communities driven by volatility in the energy sector. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to $362,000 in the third quarter of 2016 from $350,000 in the third quarter of 2015. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $22,500 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2016, or 5.9% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $20,700 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2015, or 5.6% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $21,800 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2016, or 5.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were $551.7 million, or 22.6%, in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $531.4 million, or 24.1%, in the third quarter of 2015. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to an increase in land costs, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $228.1 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $219.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 9.3% in the third quarter of 2016, from 9.9% in the third quarter of 2015, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries and benefits from the Company's focus on digital marketing.
Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was ($18.0) million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2015. In the third quarter of 2016, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination and the Company's share of net operating losses associated with the new FivePoint unconsolidated entity. In the third quarter of 2015, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included $21.5 million of equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities primarily due to a gain on debt extinguishment and sales of homesites to third parties.





4-4-4
Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, was $30.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2015. Other income, net, in the third quarter of 2016 was primarily related to $17.4 million of management fee income related to one of Lennar Homebuilding's strategic joint ventures and a gain of $8.7 million on the sale of a clubhouse.
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $62.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 ($60.3 million was included in costs of homes sold, $1.4 million in costs of land sold and $1.0 million in other interest expense), compared to $58.9 million in the third quarter of 2015 ($55.5 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.6 million in costs of land sold and $2.8 million in other interest expense). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in home deliveries.
Lennar Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Lennar Financial Services segment were $53.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $39.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in profitability was primarily due to an increase in refinance volume and higher profit per transaction in the segment's mortgage and title operations.
Rialto
Operating earnings for the Rialto segment was $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2016 (which included a $0.1 million operating loss and an add back of $6.0 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings for the third quarter of 2015 were $9.0 million (which included $7.0 million of operating earnings and an add back of $2.0 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests).
Revenues in this segment were $63.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $51.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. Revenues increased primarily due to an increase in Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") securitization revenues due to improved pricing. Expenses in this segment were $62.3 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $53.3 million in the third quarter of 2015. Expenses increased primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and an increase in securitization expenses related to RMF.
Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was $6.0 million and $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to Rialto's share of earnings from its real estate funds (the "Funds").
Rialto other income (expense), net, was ($7.6) million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in other income (expense), net, was primarily attributable to an increase in real estate owned ("REO") impairments and a decrease in net realized gains on the sale of REO and in rental and other income.






5-5-5
Lennar Multifamily
Operating earnings for the Lennar Multifamily segment were $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to the segment's $8.0 million share of a gain related to the sale of an operating property by one of Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and management fee income, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the third quarter of 2015, the Lennar Multifamily segment had an operating loss of $3.0 million primarily due to general and administrative expenses, partially offset by management fee income and by the segment's $5.7 million share of a gain related to the sale of an operating property by one of Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $61.2 million, or 2.2% as a percentage of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $56.5 million, or 2.3% as a percentage of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2015. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses improved due to increased operating leverage.
Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were ($2.7) million and $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2016 was primarily attributable to a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that the Company acquired in partnership with the FDIC, partially offset by net earnings related to the Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2015 were primarily attributable to earnings related to the Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures, partially offset by a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans.

Lennar Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 16% in the nine months ended August 31, 2016 to $6.6 billion from $5.7 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2015.

New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 18,275 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2016 from 16,604 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2015. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of the Company's Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other, except in Homebuilding Houston. The decrease in home deliveries in Houston was primarily due to less demand in the higher priced communities driven by volatility in the energy sector. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to $363,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2016 from $343,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2015.

Gross margins on home sales were $1.5 billion, or 22.8%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, compared to $1.4 billion, or 23.7%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2015. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2015 primarily due to an increase in land costs, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $642.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, compared to $588.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2015. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 9.7% in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, from 10.3% in the nine months ended August 31, 2015, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries and benefits from the Company's focus on digital marketing.

In the nine months ended August 31, 2016, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination and the Company's share of net operating losses associated with the new FivePoint unconsolidated entity. This was partially offset by $12.7 million of equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of homesites to third parties. In the nine months ended August 31, 2015, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included $64.5 million of equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of homesites and a commercial property to third parties and a gain on debt extinguishment, partially offset by the Company's share of net operating losses from various Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.

Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in home deliveries.
Lennar Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Lennar Financial Services segment were $112.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, compared to $94.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2015. The increase in profitability was primarily due to higher profit per transaction in the segment's mortgage and title operations.

Revenues in this segment were $152.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, compared to $160.7 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2015. Revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease in RMF securitization revenues due to lower securitization volume in early 2016. Expenses in this segment were $155.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, compared to $161.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2015.

Rialto other income (expense), net, was ($27.9) million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, compared to $28 thousand in the nine months ended August 31, 2015. The decrease in other income (expense), net, was primarily attributable to a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to a hospital, which was acquired through the resolution of one of Rialto's loans from a 2010 portfolio, and an increase in REO impairments and other expenses. The hospital is managed by a third-party management company.





8-8-8
Lennar Multifamily
Operating earnings for the Lennar Multifamily segment were $29.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, primarily due to the segment's $43.8 million share of gains related to the sales of three operating properties by Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities, a gross profit of $5.2 million on a third-party land sale and management fee income, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the nine months ended August 31, 2015, the Lennar Multifamily segment had an operating loss of $17.4 million primarily due to general and administrative expenses, partially offset by management fee income, general contractor income, net, and by the segment's $5.7 million share of a gain related to the sale of an operating property by one of Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities.

As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses improved due to increased operating leverage.
Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $4.2 million and $5.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which were both primarily attributable to earnings related to Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures, partially offset by a net loss, related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that the Company acquired in partnership with the FDIC.

(2)
Amount represents interest incurred related to Lennar Homebuilding debt.
(3)
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 Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net Lennar Homebuilding debt (Lennar Homebuilding debt less Lennar Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net Lennar Homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). The Company believes the ratio of net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in Lennar Homebuilding operations. However, because net Lennar 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.
