Miami, October 3, 2017 -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, today reported results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2017. Third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2017 were $249.2 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, compared to third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2016 of $235.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share.
Stuart Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Lennar Corporation, said, "We are pleased to announce our third quarter results as we achieved net earnings of $249.2 million, or $1.06 per diluted share. These results were supported by strong demand for homes, low unemployment, favorable interest rates and increased consumer confidence which are all signs of a very healthy homebuilding market.”
Mr. Miller continued, "Our core homebuilding business continued to produce strong operating results in the third quarter as our home deliveries and new orders increased 12% and 8%, respectively, compared to last year, while our gross and operating margins were 22.8% and 13.6%, respectively. Our sales incentives per home delivery in the third quarter were 5.5%, our lowest percentage since 2006. We continued to invest in new technologies throughout various aspects of our business, which helped contribute to a record low third quarter S,G&A % of home sales revenues of 9.2%.”
"We continue to remain focused on fortifying our financial position. In February 2017, we acquired WCI for $643 million in an all-cash transaction. Our strategy at that time was to integrate WCI operations and systems efficiently, and to quickly return our cash position and leverage back to prior year levels. In very short order, we have seamlessly completed the integration of WCI, and we have improved our net homebuilding debt to total capital to 39.6%, a decrease of 30 basis points from the prior year. The improvement in our leverage coupled with a strong cash position and improved financial flexibility and capacity from our $1.6 billion revolving credit facility positions our balance sheet extremely well for the future.”
“A few weeks ago, we provided an update on our third and fourth quarter home deliveries and new orders from the impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. After having time to complete a more detailed assessment, we can confirm that the overall damage to our communities was minimal. Additionally, given the disruption from the preparation for the storms, clean-up after the storms, and restart and normalization of business operations, we maintain our estimate that approximately 950 closings will be pushed from 2017 into 2018. We expect that once we get past the short-term impact from the storms, there will be increased economic activity and an increased demand for new homes which will result in a broader range of opportunities for us as we look towards 2018.”
"Complementing our homebuilding business, our Financial Services business reported earnings of $49.1 million in our third quarter. Although these results are down 8% from the prior year, the decrease was primarily due to a significantly lower number of refinance transactions which was partially offset by higher profit per transaction in our title operations.”
“Additionally complementing our core homebuilding performance, our ancillary business segments continued to perform as expected and to mature as independent businesses.”
3-3-3
Mr. Miller concluded, "We continue to execute our carefully-crafted strategy across all of our businesses. While our homebuilding and financial services businesses continue to be the primary drivers of our quarterly earnings, we are in an excellent position across our multiple platforms."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2017 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2016
As previously announced on February 10, 2017, Lennar Corporation completed its acquisition of WCI Communities, Inc. ("WCI"). Prior year information includes only stand-alone data for Lennar Corporation for the three months ended August 31, 2016.
Lennar Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 17% in the third quarter of 2017 to $2.8 billion from $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2016. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 12% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 4% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 7,588 homes in the third quarter of 2017 from 6,758 homes in the third quarter of 2016. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of the Company's Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other, except in Homebuilding Central that was slightly down from prior year due to Hurricane Harvey which impacted approximately 120 deliveries in the third quarter of 2017. The average sales price of homes delivered was $375,000 in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $362,000 in the third quarter of 2016. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $21,800 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2017, or 5.5% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $22,500 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2016, or 5.9% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $22,700 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2017, or 5.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were $650.4 million, or 22.8%, in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $551.7 million, or 22.6%, in the third quarter of 2016. Gross margin percentage on home sales increased compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to insurance recoveries of $10.3 million that positively impacted gross margin percentage by 30 basis points. Gross profits on land sales were $5.2 million in the three months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $9.4 million in the three months ended August 31, 2016.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $262.5 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $228.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 9.2% in the third quarter of 2017, from 9.3% in the third quarter of 2016, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries. In addition, WCI transaction-related expenses had a negative 20 basis point impact to selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales, which were offset by insurance recoveries.
Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2016. In the third quarter of 2017, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was attributable to the Company's share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities, which was primarily driven by general and administrative expenses, as there were no significant land sale
4-4-4
transactions for which the Company recognized its share of earnings during the third quarter of 2017. 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.
Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, was $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $30.0 million in the third quarter of 2016. 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 $71.8 million in the third quarter of 2017 ($68.6 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.9 million in costs of land sold and $2.3 million in other income, net), compared to $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 income, net). 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 $49.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $53.2 million in the third quarter of 2016. Operating earnings were impacted by a significant decrease in refinance transactions, partially offset by higher profit per transaction in the segment's title operations.
Rialto
Operating earnings for the Rialto segment were $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2017 (which included a $3.2 million operating loss and an add back of $6.4 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings in the third quarter of 2016 were $5.9 million (which included a $0.1 million operating loss and an add back of $6.0 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to a decrease in Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") securitization revenues as a result of lower volume and an increase in real estate owned impairments, partially offset by an increase in incentive income related to carried interest distributions from the Rialto real estate funds and lower general and administrative expenses.
Lennar Multifamily
Operating earnings for the Lennar Multifamily segment were $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to the segment's $15.4 million share of gains as a result of the sale of two operating properties by Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and management fee income, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the third quarter of 2016, the Lennar Multifamily segment had operating earnings of $2.6 million primarily due to the segment's $8.0 million share of a gain as a result of the sale of an operating property by one of its unconsolidated entities and management fee income, partially offset by general and administrative expenses.
5-5-5
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $72.9 million, or 2.2% as a percentage of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $61.2 million, or 2.2% as a percentage of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2016.
Noncontrolling Interests
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $5.6 million and $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in a portfolio of real estate loans that the Company acquired in partnership with the FDIC. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in 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, partially offset by net earnings related to the Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2017 COMPARED TO
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2016
As previously announced on February 10, 2017, Lennar Corporation completed its acquisition of WCI. The results of operations include activity related to WCI from February 10, 2017 to August 31, 2017. Prior year information includes only stand-alone data for Lennar Corporation for the nine months ended August 31, 2016.
Lennar Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 16% in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 to $7.7 billion from $6.6 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 13% 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 20,708 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 from 18,275 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of the Company's Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other. The average sales price of homes delivered was $372,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $363,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $22,400 per home delivered in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, or 5.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $22,000 per home delivered in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, or 5.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were $1.7 billion, or 21.9%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $1.5 billion, or 22.8%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in construction costs per home. Gross profits on land sales were $8.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $20.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016.
6-6-6
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $734.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $642.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 9.5% in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, from 9.7% in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries, despite the fact that WCI transaction-related expenses had a negative 30 basis point impact to selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales in the nine months ended August 31, 2017.
Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $42.7 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $24.7 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. In the nine months ended August 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was attributable to the Company's share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities, which was primarily driven by general and administrative expenses, as there were no significant land sale transactions for which the Company recognized its share of earnings during the nine months ended August 31, 2017. 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.
Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, was $12.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $43.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. In the nine months ended August 31, 2016, other income, net, included management fee income and a profit participation related to Lennar Homebuilding's strategic joint ventures and a gain on the sale of a clubhouse.
Lennar Homebuilding loss due to litigation of $140 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 was related to litigation regarding a contract the Company entered into in 2005 to purchase property in Maryland. As a result of the litigation, the Company purchased the property for $114 million, which approximates the Company's estimate of fair value for the property. In addition, the Company paid approximately $124 million in interest and other closing costs and has accrued for the amount it expects to pay as reimbursement for attorney's fees.
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $196.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 ($187.2 million was included in costs of homes sold, $4.1 million in costs of land sold and $4.8 million in other income, net), compared to $171.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016 ($165.8 million was included in costs of homes sold, $2.7 million in costs of land sold and $3.3 million in other income, net). 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 $113.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $112.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to increased profitability in the segment's title operations and earnings from Berkshire Hathaway
7-7-7
Home Services ("BHHS") which was acquired as part of the WCI acquisition in February, partially offset by decreased profitability in the segment's mortgage operations as a result of a decrease in refinance transactions.
Rialto
Operating earnings for the Rialto segment were $21.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 (which included a $10.5 million operating loss and an add back of $31.9 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 was $5.9 million (which included a $16.5 million operating loss and an add back of $10.6 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The increase in operating earnings was primarily related to an increase in RMF earnings as a result of higher securitization margins, an increase in incentive income related to carried interest distributions from the Rialto real estate funds, as well as an increase in management fee income. This was partially offset by an increase in loan impairments, real estate owned impairments and general and administrative expenses. In addition, the nine months ended August 31, 2016 included 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.
Lennar Multifamily
Operating earnings for the Lennar Multifamily segment were $34.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, primarily due to the segment's $52.9 million share of gains as a result of the sale of five operating properties by Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and management fee income, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Lennar Multifamily segment had operating earnings of $29.8 million primarily due to the segment's $43.8 million share of gains as a result of the sale of three operating properties by its unconsolidated entities and a gross profit of $5.2 million on a third-party land sale and management fee income, partially offset by general and administrative expenses.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $200.3 million, or 2.3% as a percentage of total revenues, in the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $164.6 million, or 2.2% as a percentage of total revenues, in the nine months ended August 31, 2016.
Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were ($26.9) million and $4.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the nine months ended August 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in a 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 in the nine months ended August 31, 2016 were 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.

(1) | For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, diluted earnings per share includes an add back of interest of $1.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively, related to the Company's 3.25% convertible senior notes. |
| |
(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. |

(1) | 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. |
