Recent Company History

Over the past year, Lennar’s earnings cycle has featured regular pre-announcement call notices and detailed quarterly reports. Recent results, such as Q1 2026 with net earnings of $229M on $6.6B in revenues and 16,863 deliveries, showed solid activity but pressured margins. Q3 2025 results included $591M in net earnings and a 17.5% gross margin amid softer pricing. Today’s Q2 2026 report continues the theme of resilient volumes but lower earnings and margins versus prior periods.

MIAMI, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation's leading homebuilders, today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2026. Second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $305 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 of $477 million, or $1.81 per diluted share. Excluding pretax mark-to-market losses of $23 million and $29 million on technology investments, respectively, second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $322 million, or $1.31 per diluted share compared to $499 million or $1.90 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025.

Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Lennar, said, "Our second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was defined by the same stubborn headwinds that have challenged the housing market for the past several years – persistently elevated mortgage rates, constrained affordability, and cautious consumer sentiment, exacerbated by geopolitical uncertainty creating a resurgent inflation reading of 4.2% driven by higher energy prices. Against that backdrop, our team delivered results that demonstrate the strength and resilience of our operating platform. 

"We delivered 20,519 homes, within our guidance of 20,000 to 21,000, generated 21,749 new orders and produced earnings per share of $1.31 excluding mark-to-market losses. Our average sales price was $371,000, reflecting approximately 12.9% in incentives, along with base price adjustments necessary to sustain volume in a market where affordability remains the defining constant. Our gross margin improved sequentially to 15.6% while our net margin increased to 6.4%."

"Our continued focus on operational execution is reflected across numerous key metrics. Our construction costs improved another 2% sequentially and 13% over the last several years. Our cycle time reached a new record low of 121 days, down from 122 days last quarter and 132 days a year ago. We reduced our inventory to 2.1 homes per community from 3 homes per community last quarter, and our inventory turn stands at 2.5 times. Less than 5% of our land is on our balance sheet and our total owned homebuilding inventory has declined from $11.4 billion a year ago to $10.9 billion today. Finally, we ended the quarter with $1.8 billion in cash as we purchased 5 million shares of stock for $447 million."

"Looking ahead to the third quarter of 2026, we expect to deliver approximately 20,500 to 21,500 homes with gross margin improving to approximately 16% as volume increases, incentive levels continue to moderate, and our cost discipline continues to gain traction. We expect our average sales price to be in the range of approximately $375,000 to $380,000 and our SG&A to improve toward 8.8% to 9.0%. Given current pressure on interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty we are moderating our target full-year 2026 deliveries to approximately 82,000 to 83,000 homes."

"In order to help clearly communicate our operating strategy and operating model, we are pleased to announce the publication of a new Investor Deck on the Lennar Investor Relations website tomorrow morning. This deck has been designed to give investors a current view of Lennar's transformation, our asset-light operating model, our technology platform, and our path to margin recovery and long-term value creation. We believe it provides important context for understanding not just where we are today, but where we are going, and why we remain so confident about Lennar's long-term position."

Mr. Miller concluded, "Our strategy consistently has been to execute around the affordability challenge rather than wait it out. We have prioritized volume to create durable scale advantages, to deliver that volume at lower prices, and ultimately improve margins. Our costs are down materially over the past two years, volume is holding, our asset-light balance sheet is functioning extremely well and improving, and our technology initiatives are defining a new Lennar. Additionally, the gap between our current incentive levels of 12.9% and normalized levels of 4% to 6% is narrowing for the first time in three years as the mismatch between higher home prices with higher interest rates and household income is narrowing, as wages drift higher and employment remains strong. The fundamental shortage of housing in America has not been solved. Demand is real, deferred, and building. Lennar is positioned better than at any point in recent history to capture demand as conditions normalize. We remain deeply committed to building the homes America needs, at prices families can afford, and to generating the returns our shareholders deserve."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER 2026 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2025

Homebuilding

Revenues from home sales decreased 2% in the second quarter of 2026 to $7.6 billion from $7.8 billion in the second quarter of 2025. Revenues were lower primarily due to a 5% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered, partially offset by a 2% increase in the number of home deliveries. New home deliveries were 20,519 homes in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 20,131 homes in the second quarter of 2025. The average sales price of homes delivered was $371,000 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $389,000 in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the second 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 15.6%, in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.4 billion, or 17.8%, in the second quarter of 2025. During the second 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 $698 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $689 million in the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.2% in the second quarter of 2026, from 8.8% in the second 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 $100 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $157 million in the second quarter of 2025, both amounts are net of noncontrolling interest. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower profit per locked loan in the mortgage business.

Ancillary Businesses

Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $18 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to an operating loss of $15 million in the second quarter of 2025. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $39 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to an operating loss of $53 million in the second quarter of 2025. The Lennar Other operating loss for both second quarters of 2026 and 2025 was primarily driven by mark-to-market losses of $23 million and $29 million, respectively, on the Company's technology investments.

Tax Rate

In the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company had tax provisions of $105 million and $160 million, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 25.6% and 25.1%, 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.

Share Repurchases

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 5 million shares of its common stock for $447 million at an average share price of $89.35.

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 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.
