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.
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.
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.
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2016 COMPARED TO
NINE
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2015
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. Revenues were higher primarily
due to a 10% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding
unconsolidated entities, and a 6% increase in the average sales
price of homes delivered. 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. Sales incentives offered to
homebuyers were $22,000 per home
delivered in the nine months ended August
31, 2016, or 5.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue,
compared to $21,300 per home
delivered in the nine months ended August
31, 2015, or 5.8% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
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.
Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from
unconsolidated entities was ($24.7)
million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016, compared to $48.7 million in the nine months ended
August 31, 2015. 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.
Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, totaled $46.4 million in the nine months ended
August 31, 2016, compared to
$10.3 million in the nine months
ended August 31, 2015. 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. In the nine months
ended August 31, 2015, other income,
net, included a $6.5 million gain on
the sale of an operating property.
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $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
interest expense), compared to $154.6
million in the nine months ended August 31, 2015 ($142.3
million was included in costs of homes sold, $1.7 million in costs of land sold and
$10.7 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 $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.
Rialto
Operating loss for the Rialto segment was $5.9 million in the nine months ended
August 31, 2016 (which included a
$16.5 million operating loss and an
add back of $10.6 million of net loss
attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings in
the nine months ended August 31, 2015
were $21.2 million (which included
$16.7 million of operating earnings
and an add back of $4.5 million of
net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests).
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.
Expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in general and
administrative expenses.
Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was
$14.3 million and $17.6 million in the nine months ended
August 31, 2016 and 2015,
respectively, related to Rialto's share of earnings from the
Funds.
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.
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.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $164.6 million, or 2.2% as a percentage of total
revenues, in the nine months ended August
31, 2016, compared to $150.4
million, or 2.3% as a percentage of total revenues, in the
nine months ended August 31, 2015. 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.
OTHER TRANSACTIONS
Debt Transactions
During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, holders converted approximately
$175 million and $243 million aggregate principal amount,

interest of $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, related
to
the Company's 3.25% convertible senior notes.

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.
