Filing Highlights

Financial Performance

Homebuilding revenue increased to $9.0 billion, driven by a 16% increase in home deliveries, but average sales price decreased by 6% to $422,000. This indicates a focus on volume over price.

Gross margins on home sales decreased to 22.5% from 24.4% YoY. Management cited lower revenues per square foot and higher land costs as the primary drivers, partially offset by lower material costs.

Net earnings attributable to Lennar increased to $1.2 billion from $1.1 billion YoY. This indicates that while margins are under pressure, the company is still able to grow profits through volume increases.
