• Net earnings per diluted share of $1.19 ($1.23 excluding mark-to-market losses on technology investments and one-time items in the Company's Financial Services segment)

Miami, September 16, 2026 -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation’s leading homebuilders, today reported results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2026. Third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $284 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared to third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 of $591 million, or $2.29 per diluted share. Excluding mark-to-market losses of $53 million on technology investments and one-time items of $39 million, net, in the Company's Financial Services segment, third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $294 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, compared to $516 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, excluding mark-to-market gains of $99 million on technology investments, in the third quarter of 2025.
Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Lennar, said, “Our third quarter 2026 results reflect consistent focus on our operating strategy of maintaining volume and production while navigating a challenging economic environment. While our earnings of $1.19 per share were below expectations, they reflect the nature of the environment in which we are operating, which has deteriorated since our last earnings call.”
“Mortgage rates increased through the quarter, with the 30-year rate at approximately 6.8% at quarter end and even higher since. Rates are responding as inflation remains above the Fed’s target, driven by geopolitical tension and higher oil prices. Additionally, consumer confidence has declined as rates and affordability have driven more consumers to slow their purchase decision. Nevertheless, even while market conditions have weakened, the overall housing environment remains constructive as housing shortages continue to drive demand from both primary buyers as well as ‘single-family for rent’ and ‘build-to-rent’ buyers.”
“Against that backdrop, our team adhered to our strategy of leveraging consistent volume in order to drive costs lower. We delivered 20,840 homes, within our guidance of 20,500 to 21,500, generated 20,879 new orders and produced total revenues of $8.0 billion. Our starts pace and sales pace were both 4.1 homes per community per month across our 1,713 active communities, reflecting the even-flow balance that drives efficiency.”
“By maintaining volume, we have improved execution across numerous key metrics. Our construction cost per square foot improved another 1% sequentially, 6% year over year, and 14% since our fourth quarter 2023 baseline. Our cycle time reached a new record low of 116 days, down from 121 days last quarter and 126 days a year ago. Additionally, we reduced our completed, unsold inventory to 1.8 homes per community from 2.1 homes per community last quarter, and our inventory turn stands at 2.4 times. Of the approximately 488,000 homesites we own and control, we own fewer than 2.5%, on our balance sheet. Finally, we ended the quarter with $1.2 billion in cash, as we repurchased 3 million shares of stock for $256 million and repaid $400 million of senior notes.”
“Our average sales price was $372,000, reflecting approximately 12.0% in incentives, along with base price adjustments necessary to sustain volume in a market where affordability remains the defining constraint. Our gross margin improved sequentially to 15.8%, with SG&A of 9.2% resulting in a net margin of 6.6%.”
“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2026, we expect to generate new orders of approximately 19,500 to 20,500 homes, and to deliver approximately 22,000 to 23,000 homes with gross margin of approximately 15.5% to 16.0%. We expect our average sales price to be in the range of approximately $370,000 to $380,000 and our SG&A to improve toward 8.7% to 9.0%. Given continued pressure on interest rates and the deterioration in market
conditions through the quarter, we are moderating our target full-year 2026 deliveries to approximately 80,000 to 81,000 homes, from the 82,000 to 83,000 homes we discussed last quarter.”
Mr. Miller concluded, “Our consistent strategy has been to meet demand at affordability and build supply rather than wait the market out. We have prioritized volume to create needed supply for the market, which we deliver at affordable prices, while we leverage scale advantages and ultimately improve margins. The fundamental shortage of housing in America has not been solved. We remain deeply committed to building the homes America needs, at prices families can afford, and to ultimately generate the returns our shareholders deserve.”
Revenues from home sales decreased 6% in the third quarter of 2026 to $7.7 billion from $8.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Revenues were lower primarily due to both a 3% decrease in the average sales price of homes and a 3% decrease in the number of home deliveries. New home deliveries were 20,840 homes in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 21,584 homes in the third quarter of 2025. The average sales price of homes delivered was $372,000 in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $383,000 in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to continued weakness in the market.
Gross margins on home sales were $1.2 billion, or 15.8%, in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $1.4 billion, or 17.5%, in the third quarter of 2025. During the third quarter of 2026, gross margins decreased primarily due to lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, which were partially offset by a decrease in construction costs, reflecting the Company's continued focus on cost-saving initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $714 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $676 million in the third quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.2% in the third quarter of 2026, from 8.2% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to less leverage as a result of lower revenues and an increase in marketing and selling expenses.
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $129 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to operating earnings of $177 million in the third quarter of 2025, both amounts are net of noncontrolling interest. The operating earnings in the third quarter of 2026 included one-time items of $39 million, net, primarily related to a litigation accrual reversal resulting from a court judgment. Excluding the one-time items in the current quarter, the decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower profit per locked loan and lower lock volume in the mortgage business.
Operating loss for the Multifamily segment was $3 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to an operating loss of $16 million in the third quarter of 2025. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $84 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to operating earnings of $62 million in the third quarter of 2025. The Lennar Other operating loss for third quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by mark-to-market losses of $53 million on the Company's technology investments. The Lennar Other operating earnings for third quarter of 2025 were primarily driven by mark-to-market gains of $99 million on the Company's technology investments.
In the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company had tax provisions of $102 million and $191 million, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 26.4% and 24.4%, respectively. For both periods, the Company's effective income tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits. The increase in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the prior period was primarily due to the Company's spin-off of Millrose Properties, Inc.
In the third quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 3 million shares of its common stock for $256 million at an average share price of $85.49.
The following are the Company's expected results of its homebuilding and financial services activities for the fourth quarter of 2026:
New Orders 19,500 - 20,500 Deliveries 22,000 - 23,000 Average Sales Price $370,000 - $380,000 Gross Margin % on Home Sales 15.5% - 16.0% SG&A as a % of Home Sales 8.7% - 9.0% Financial Services Operating Earnings $90 million - $95 million

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: Some of the statements in this press release are "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements relating to the homebuilding market and other markets in which we participate, as well as our expected results and guidance.

(1) Amount represents interest incurred related to homebuilding debt. (2) 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) Includes one-time items of $39 million, net, primarily related to a litigation accrual reversal resulting from a court judgment, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2026. 8-8-8

(1) Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). The Company believes the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in homebuilding operations. However, because net 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.

Miami, September 16, 2026 -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of
the nation’s leading homebuilders, today reported results for its third quarter
ended August 31, 2026. Third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026
were $284 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared to third quarter net
earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 of $591 million, or $2.29 per diluted
share. Excluding mark-to-market losses of $53 million on technology investments
and one-time items of $39 million, net, in the Company's Financial Services
segment, third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $294
million, or $1.23 per diluted share, compared to $516 million, or $2.00 per
diluted share, excluding mark-to-market gains of $99 million on technology
investments, in the third quarter of 2025.
Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Lennar, said, “Our third quarter 2026 results reflect consistent focus on our
operating strategy of maintaining volume and production while navigating a
challenging economic environment. While our earnings of $1.19 per share were
below expectations, they reflect the nature of the environment in which we are
operating, which has deteriorated since our last earnings call.”
“Mortgage rates increased through the quarter, with the 30-year rate at
approximately 6.8% at quarter end and even higher since. Rates are responding as
inflation remains above the Fed’s target, driven by geopolitical tension and
higher oil prices. Additionally, consumer confidence has declined as rates and
affordability have driven more consumers to slow their purchase decision.
Nevertheless, even while market conditions have weakened, the overall housing
environment remains constructive as housing shortages continue to drive demand
from both primary buyers as well as ‘single-family for rent’ and ‘build-to-rent’
buyers.”
“Against that backdrop, our team adhered to our strategy of leveraging
consistent volume in order to drive costs lower. We delivered 20,840 homes,
within our guidance of 20,500 to 21,500, generated 20,879 new orders and
produced total revenues of $8.0 billion. Our starts pace and sales pace were
both 4.1 homes per community per month across our 1,713 active communities,
reflecting the even-flow balance that drives efficiency.”
“By maintaining volume, we have improved execution across numerous key metrics.
Our construction cost per square foot improved another 1% sequentially, 6% year
over year, and 14% since our fourth quarter 2023 baseline. Our cycle time
reached a new record low of 116 days, down from 121 days last quarter and 126
days a year ago. Additionally, we reduced our completed, unsold inventory to 1.8
homes per community from 2.1 homes per community last quarter, and our inventory
turn stands at 2.4 times. Of the approximately 488,000 homesites we own and
control, we own fewer than 2.5%, on our balance sheet. Finally, we ended the
quarter with $1.2 billion in cash, as we repurchased 3 million shares of stock
for $256 million and repaid $400 million of senior notes.”
“Our average sales price was $372,000, reflecting approximately 12.0% in
incentives, along with base price adjustments necessary to sustain volume in a
market where affordability remains the defining constraint. Our gross margin
improved sequentially to 15.8%, with SG&A of 9.2% resulting in a net margin of
6.6%.”
“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2026, we expect to generate new orders
of approximately 19,500 to 20,500 homes, and to deliver approximately 22,000 to
23,000 homes with gross margin of approximately 15.5% to 16.0%. We expect our
average sales price to be in the range of approximately $370,000 to $380,000 and
our SG&A to improve toward 8.7% to 9.0%. Given continued pressure on interest
rates and the deterioration in market
3-3-3
conditions through the quarter, we are moderating our target full-year 2026
deliveries to approximately 80,000 to 81,000 homes, from the 82,000 to 83,000
homes we discussed last quarter.”
Mr. Miller concluded, “Our consistent strategy has been to meet demand at
affordability and build supply rather than wait the market out. We have
prioritized volume to create needed supply for the market, which we deliver at
affordable prices, while we leverage scale advantages and ultimately improve
margins. The fundamental shortage of housing in America has not been solved. We
remain deeply committed to building the homes America needs, at prices families
can afford, and to ultimately generate the returns our shareholders deserve.”
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER 2026 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2025
Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales decreased 6% in the third quarter of 2026 to $7.7
billion from $8.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Revenues were lower
primarily due to both a 3% decrease in the average sales price of homes and a 3%
decrease in the number of home deliveries. New home deliveries were 20,840 homes
in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 21,584 homes in the third quarter of
2025. The average sales price of homes delivered was $372,000 in the third
quarter of 2026, compared to $383,000 in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease
in average sales price of homes delivered in the third quarter of 2026 compared
to the same period last year was primarily due to continued weakness in the
market.
Gross margins on home sales were $1.2 billion, or 15.8%, in the third quarter of
2026, compared to $1.4 billion, or 17.5%, in the third quarter of 2025. During
the third quarter of 2026, gross margins decreased primarily due to lower
revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, which were
partially offset by a decrease in construction costs, reflecting the Company's
continued focus on cost-saving initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $714 million in the third
quarter of 2026, compared to $676 million in the third quarter of 2025. As a
percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 9.2% in the third quarter of 2026, from 8.2% in the third
quarter of 2025, primarily due to less leverage as a result of lower revenues
and an increase in marketing and selling expenses.
Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $129 million in the
third quarter of 2026, compared to operating earnings of $177 million in the
third quarter of 2025, both amounts are net of noncontrolling interest. The
operating earnings in the third quarter of 2026 included one-time items of $39
million, net, primarily related to a litigation accrual reversal resulting from
a court judgment. Excluding the one-time items in the current quarter, the
decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower profit per locked loan
and lower lock volume in the mortgage business.
4-4-4
Ancillary Businesses
Operating loss for the Multifamily segment was $3 million in the third quarter
of 2026, compared to an operating loss of $16 million in the third quarter of
2025. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $84 million in the third
quarter of 2026, compared to operating earnings of $62 million in the third
quarter of 2025. The Lennar Other operating loss for third quarter of 2026 was
primarily driven by mark-to-market losses of $53 million on the Company's
technology investments. The Lennar Other operating earnings for third quarter of
2025 were primarily driven by mark-to-market gains of $99 million on the
Company's technology investments.
Tax Rate
In the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company had tax provisions of $102
million and $191 million, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate
of 26.4% and 24.4%, respectively. For both periods, the Company's effective
income tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive
compensation, partially offset by tax credits. The increase in the effective tax
rate for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the prior period was primarily
due to the Company's spin-off of Millrose Properties, Inc.
Share Repurchases
In the third quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 3 million shares of its
common stock for $256 million at an average share price of $85.49.
Guidance
The following are the Company's expected results of its homebuilding and
financial services activities for the fourth quarter of 2026:
New Orders 19,500 - 20,500
Deliveries 22,000 - 23,000
Average Sales Price $370,000 - $380,000
Gross Margin % on Home Sales 15.5% - 16.0%
SG&A as a % of Home Sales 8.7% - 9.0%
Financial Services Operating Earnings $90 million - $95 million

significant Homebuilding or Multifamily development activities or own a
substantial number of single-family homes for rent; decreased demand for our
homes, either for sale or for rent, or Multifamily rental apartments; the

financing for homebuyers, increased or continued high interest rates or
increased competition in the mortgage industry; supply shortages and increased
costs related to construction materials and labor; changes in trade policy
affecting our business, including new or increased tariffs, as well as the
potential impact of retaliatory tariffs and other penalties that may impact the
cost of raw materials and other goods related to our homebuilding businesses;
changes in U.S. and foreign governmental laws, regulations and policies,
including retaliatory policies against the United States, that may impact our
business operations; cost increases related to real estate taxes and insurance;

the willingness of the funds to invest in new projects; increased energy prices;
reductions in the market value of our investments in public companies; natural
disasters or catastrophic events for which our insurance may not provide
adequate coverage; our inability to successfully execute our strategies,
including our land light strategy; problems exercising options to purchase
homesites; a decline in the value of the land and home inventories we maintain
and resulting possible future writedowns of the carrying value of our real
estate assets; the forfeiture of deposits and pre-acquisition costs on real
estate related to land purchase options we decide not to exercise; the potential
negative impact to our business from public health issues; labor shortages
and/or a decrease in the number of potential homebuyers due to increased
enforcement of restrictions on immigration; possible unfavorable outcomes in
legal proceedings; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets;
changes in laws, regulations or the regulatory environment affecting our
business; and the other risks and uncertainties described in our filings from

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