Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lennar Corporation (LEN) reported significantly weaker results for the third quarter ended August 31, 2026 amid a tougher housing and rate environment. Net earnings attributable to Lennar fell to $284 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, from $591 million, or $2.29, a year earlier. Total revenues declined to $8.0 billion from $8.8 billion, as home deliveries slipped 3% to 20,840 homes and the average sales price fell to $372,000. Homebuilding gross margin on home sales compressed to 15.8% from 17.5%, while SG&A rose to 9.2% of home sales revenue.

The company emphasized operational gains, including record-low cycle times of 116 days, lower construction costs per square foot, and reduced completed, unsold inventory. Lennar ended the quarter with $1.2 billion in homebuilding cash, homebuilding debt-to-total capital of 16.6%, and a backlog of 16,857 homes valued at $6.3 billion. It repurchased 3 million shares for $256 million and redeemed $400 million of 5.25% senior notes due June 2026. For fourth quarter 2026, Lennar guides to 22,000–23,000 deliveries, gross margin of 15.5%–16.0%, and Financial Services operating earnings of $90–95 million, and it now targets full-year 2026 deliveries of 80,000–81,000 homes, reduced from the prior 82,000–83,000 range.

Positive

  • Strong liquidity and conservative leverage: homebuilding cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 billion, homebuilding debt of $4.3 billion, and homebuilding debt to total capital of only 16.6%, with net homebuilding debt to total capital at 12.7%.
  • Operational efficiency improving: construction cost per square foot decreased 6% year over year and cycle time reached a record-low 116 days, down from 126 days a year ago, while completed unsold inventory declined to 1.8 homes per community.
  • Backlog and scale remain substantial: backlog stood at 16,857 homes valued at $6.3 billion, and Lennar controlled approximately 488,000 homesites, while owning fewer than 2.5% on balance sheet.
  • Capital returns to shareholders: repurchased 3 million shares of common stock for $256 million in the quarter and redeemed $400 million of 5.25% senior notes due June 2026.
  • Sequential margin and guidance stability: home sales gross margin improved sequentially to 15.8%, and fourth-quarter guidance calls for stable gross margin of 15.5%–16.0% with 22,000–23,000 deliveries and average sales price of $370,000–$380,000.

Negative

  • Earnings and EPS nearly halved year over year: net earnings attributable to Lennar declined to $284 million from $591 million and diluted EPS to $1.19 from $2.29, reflecting weaker market conditions and lower margins.
  • Revenue and orders under pressure: total revenues fell to $8.0 billion from $8.8 billion, revenues from home sales decreased 6% to $7.7 billion, and new orders dropped 9% to 20,879 homes with backlog dollar value down to $6.3 billion from $6.6 billion.
  • Margin compression and higher overhead: gross margin on home sales declined to 15.8% from 17.5%, while SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenue increased to 9.2% from 8.2%, reducing homebuilding profitability.
  • Reduced full-year volume outlook: full-year 2026 delivery target was lowered to 80,000–81,000 homes from the previously discussed 82,000–83,000 homes due to deteriorating market conditions and higher interest rates.
  • Volatility in investments and Financial Services: Lennar Other recorded an operating loss of $84 million driven by $53 million of mark-to-market losses on technology investments, and Financial Services operating earnings declined to $129 million from $177 million, even including a $39 million one-time benefit.

backlog financial
"Backlog of 16,857 homes with a dollar value of $6.3 billion"
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
gross margin on home sales financial
"Gross margin on home sales of 15.8%"
EBIT financial
"EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest and taxes"
EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) measures a company's profit from normal business operations after paying direct running costs but before subtracting interest on debt and income taxes. Think of it as how well a store does at selling its goods once everyday expenses are covered, ignoring loan payments and tax bills. Investors use EBIT to compare operational performance across companies without the distortion of different financing or tax situations.
net homebuilding debt to total capital financial
"Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure"
Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a leverage ratio that compares a homebuilder’s interest-bearing debt (after subtracting cash and cash equivalents) tied to its homebuilding operations with the company’s total capital base (debt plus equity). It shows how much of the company’s financing is coming from borrowed money rather than owners’ funds, like comparing the mortgage remaining on a house to the house’s total value; investors use it to gauge financial risk and balance-sheet strength.
mark-to-market losses financial
"mark-to-market losses of $53 million on the Company's technology investments"
Mark-to-market losses occur when a company revalues assets or investments at current market prices and records the resulting drop in value, even if those assets haven’t been sold. They matter to investors because they reduce reported profits and shareholders’ equity immediately, can affect borrowing terms and stock perception, and give a real-time view of how market swings are hurting a company’s balance sheet — like lowering the listed price of items in a shop to match what buyers are willing to pay today.

2-2-2
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 Orders19,500 - 20,500
Deliveries22,000 - 23,000

(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.
