Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lennar Corporation reported first-quarter 2026 net earnings attributable to Lennar of $229 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, down from $520 million, or $1.96, a year earlier. Total revenues declined to $6.6 billion from $7.6 billion, mainly as homebuilding revenue fell 13% on lower prices and fewer deliveries.

Gross margin on home sales compressed to 15.2% from 18.7%, while SG&A rose to 9.8% of home sales revenue, reducing net margin to 5.3%. Financial Services operating earnings fell to $91 million from $143 million, partly offset by improved Multifamily and Lennar Other results helped by $15 million of mark-to-market gains on technology investments.

Lennar ended the quarter with homebuilding cash of $2.1 billion and homebuilding debt to total capital of 15.7%, with net homebuilding debt to total capital of 8.3%. The company repurchased 2 million shares for $237 million at an average price of $118.54. For the second quarter of 2026, Lennar expects deliveries of 20,000–21,000 homes, an average sales price of $370,000–$375,000, gross margin of 15.5%–16.0%, SG&A of 8.9%–9.1%, and Financial Services operating earnings of $100–$110 million.

Positive

  • Solid order and backlog trends: New orders grew 1% year over year to 18,515 homes, and backlog increased to 15,588 homes with a dollar value of $6.0 billion, supporting near-term volume.
  • Strong balance sheet and low leverage: Homebuilding debt to total capital was 15.7% and net homebuilding debt to total capital was 8.3%, with $2.1 billion of homebuilding cash, providing flexibility despite weaker earnings.

Negative

  • Material earnings and revenue decline: First-quarter 2026 net earnings attributable to Lennar fell to $229 million from $520 million and total revenues dropped to $6.6 billion from $7.6 billion, driven by lower home prices and volumes.
  • Margin compression across homebuilding: Gross margin on home sales declined to 15.2% from 18.7%, while SG&A rose to 9.8% of home sales revenue from 8.5%, significantly reducing profitability.
  • Weaker Financial Services contribution: Financial Services operating earnings decreased to $91 million from $143 million, reflecting lower lock volume and lower profit per locked loan.

Insights

Lennar’s Q1 2026 shows sharply lower profit on weaker pricing and margins, partly offset by strong balance sheet and higher orders.

Lennar generated first-quarter 2026 revenues of $6.62B, down from $7.63B, as homebuilding sales decreased 13% on an 8% lower average sales price and 5% fewer deliveries. Net earnings attributable to Lennar fell to $229M from $520M, and EPS dropped to $0.93 from $1.96.

Profitability weakened: gross margin on home sales declined to 15.2% from 18.7%, and SG&A rose to 9.8% of home sales from 8.5%, compressing net margin to 5.3%. Financial Services operating earnings fell to $91M from $143M, while Multifamily improved to $18M of operating earnings and Lennar Other losses narrowed due to $15M of mark-to-market gains on technology investments.

The balance sheet remains relatively conservative. Homebuilding debt to total capital was 15.7%, with net homebuilding debt to total capital at 8.3%, and homebuilding cash was $2.09B. The company repurchased $237M of stock. New orders rose 1% to 18,515 homes, backlog reached 15,588 homes valued at $6.0B, and guidance for Q2 2026 calls for 20,000–21,000 deliveries, gross margin of 15.5%–16.0%, SG&A of 8.9%–9.1%, and Financial Services operating earnings of $100–$110M.

2-2-2
Miami, March 12, 2026 -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation’s leading homebuilders, today reported results for its first quarter ended February 28, 2026. First quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $229 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to first quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 of $520 million, or $1.96 per diluted share. Excluding pretax mark-to-market gains of $15 million on technology investments, first quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $218 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. Excluding pretax mark-to-market losses of $63 million on technology investments, first quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 were $567 million or $2.14 per diluted share.
Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lennar, said, "Our first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was defined by the same persistent headwinds that have challenged the housing market for over three years - high mortgage rates, constrained affordability, cautious consumer sentiment, and geopolitical uncertainty, especially now including the recent conflict in Iran. As our results reflect, Lennar remained focused on executing our consistent operating strategy to maintain production and support housing supply, while driving structural improvements across our business."
"During the first quarter, we delivered 16,863 homes, generated 18,515 new orders, and maintained our disciplined, production-first operating strategy. Our average sales price was $374,000, reflecting the continued use of approximately 14% in incentives, along with base price adjustments necessary to sustain volume in a market where affordability remains the defining constraint. Gross margin came in at 15.2%, with SG&A of 9.8%, resulting in a net margin of 5.3%."
"Our strategy has been to actively design around the affordability challenge rather than waiting it out. We have focused on prioritizing volume to create durable scale advantages, delivering that volume at lower prices, and ultimately improving margins. Operationally, our starts pace of 3.4 homes per community per month and sales pace of 3.6 reflect a measured, even-flow approach across our 1,678 active communities. Our cycle time improved to 122 days, our shortest ever, and our inventory turn increased to 2.5 times, reflecting the strength of our land-light model, as well as improved execution across our construction operations and supply chain. Additionally, our construction costs improved just over 2.5% in the first quarter and have decreased 12% over the last two years, even as labor remains constrained and materials face constant pricing pressure."
"In the second quarter, we expect to deliver approximately 20,000 to 21,000 homes with gross margin improving to 15.5% to 16% and SG&A improving to 8.9% to 9.1%, as volume increases and the spring selling season unfolds."
Mr. Miller concluded, "While the broader market remains challenged in the near term, exacerbated by current events, we are continuing to operate with conviction and clarity. The fundamental shortage of housing in America has not been solved - demand is real, deferred, and building. As affordability gradually improves, as rates find a more stable footing, and as the nation begins in earnest to address the regulatory and entitlement barriers that constrain supply, Lennar is extremely well positioned for long-term growth. But, until then, we are building the homes America needs, at the prices the market can absorb, with an operating platform that is continuously improving and becoming more efficient every quarter."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 2026 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2025
Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales decreased 13% in the first quarter of 2026 to $6.3 billion from $7.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025. Revenues were lower primarily due to an 8% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered and a 5% decrease in the number of home deliveries. New home deliveries were 16,863 homes in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 17,834 homes in the first quarter of 2025. The average sales price of homes delivered was $374,000 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $408,000 in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to continued weakness in the market and an increased use of sales incentives offered to homebuyers.
Gross margins on home sales were $951 million, or 15.2%, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.4 billion, or 18.7%, in the first quarter of 2025. During the first 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 $617 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $616 million in the first quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.8% in the first quarter of 2026, from 8.5% in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to less leverage as a result of lower revenues.
Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $91 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $143 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower lock volume and lower profit per locked loan.
Ancillary Businesses
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $18 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a breakeven result in the first quarter of 2025. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to operating loss of $89 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Lennar Other operating loss for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to operating losses, which was partially offset by mark-to-market gains of $15 million on the Company's technology investments. The Lennar Other operating loss for the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to mark-to-market losses of $63 million on the Company's technology investments.
Tax Rate
In the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company had tax provisions of $69 million and $170 million, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 23.1% and 24.6%, respectively. For both periods, the Company's effective income tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially




4-4-4
offset by tax credits. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a charitable contribution of appreciated stock to the Lennar Foundation.
Share Repurchases
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 2 million shares of its common stock for $237 million at an average share price of $118.54.
Guidance
The following are the Company's expected results of its homebuilding and financial services activities for the second quarter of 2026:
New Orders21,000 - 22,000
Deliveries20,000 - 21,000
Average Sales Price$370,000 - $375,000
Gross Margin % on Home Sales15.5% - 16.0%
SG&A as a % of Home Sales8.9% - 9.1%
Financial Services Operating Earnings$100 million - $110 million

You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Accordingly, these forward-looking statements should be evaluated with consideration given to the many risks and uncertainties inherent in our business that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement and speak only as of the date made. Important factors that could cause differences between anticipated and actual results include slowdowns in real estate markets in regions where we have 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 potential impact of inflation; the impact of increased cost of mortgage 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 effect of increased interest rates with regard to our funds' borrowings or the willingness of the funds to invest in new projects; 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 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 time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on January 28, 2026 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

(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.
