Miami, June 25, 2013 -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2013. Second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2013 were $137.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, which included a partial reversal of the state deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $41.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2012 net earnings attributable to Lennar of $452.7 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, which included a partial reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $403.0 million, or $1.85 per diluted share.
Stuart Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Lennar Corporation, said, “Against the backdrop of recent investor concerns over mortgage rate increases, we believe that our second quarter results together with real time feedback from our field associates continue to point towards a solid housing recovery. Our second quarter results reflect significant improvement in all of our key homebuilding and financial services metrics. Demand in all of our markets continues to outpace supply which is constrained by limited land availability and fewer competing homebuilders. At the same time, affordability remains high and despite recent interest rate increases, we have seen very little impact on sales or pricing.”
“As we have discussed on prior calls, conflicting macroeconomic data and interest rates reverting to normal levels can create headline risk to an otherwise straight-line recovery. However, the fundamentals of the homebuilding industry continue to be primarily driven by high affordability levels, favorable monthly payment comparisons to rentals, and overall supply shortages.”
Mr. Miller continued, “New home production lagged population growth and household formation during the recent economic downturn. New development activity is just starting to accelerate, but land availability will continue to be a constraint for some time, given the length of the downturn. Fortunately, Lennar has been an active buyer of land over the last several years and we are well positioned to succeed in this environment.”
“During the second quarter, our gross margin percentage on home sales improved to 24.1%, while our S,G&A % of home sales came in under 11% for the first time since our third quarter of 2006. Our operating leverage should continue to improve, driven by our higher new orders. During the quarter, our El Toro joint venture, which is managed by FivePoint Communities, contributed $13.0 million of earnings to our bottom line. Meanwhile, our financial services business generated $29.2 million of earnings during the quarter, as the refinance business continued its strong performance.”
Mr. Miller concluded, “Our homebuilding and financial services businesses are performing at a high level, while our ancillary businesses continue to mature. With a strong backlog at quarter-end, growing demand and the next phase of the housing recovery continuing to show strength, we are well positioned for another year of solid housing profitability.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2013 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2012
Lennar Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 58% in the second quarter of 2013 to $1,256.3 million from $796.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 39% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 13% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 4,449 homes in the second quarter of 2013 from 3,192 homes in the second quarter of 2012. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of the Company's Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to $283,000 in the second quarter of 2013 from $250,000 in the same period last year. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $20,200 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2013, or 6.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $29,800 per home delivered in the same period last year, or 10.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $23,300 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2013, or 8.0% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were $303.3 million, or 24.1%, in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $179.0 million, or 22.5%, in the second quarter of 2012. Gross margin percentage on home sales improved compared to last year, primarily due to a greater percentage of deliveries from the Company's new higher margin communities (communities where land was acquired subsequent to November 30, 2008), a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenue from home sales and an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered, partially offset by an increase in materials, labor and land costs. Gross profits on land sales totaled $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $136.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $105.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 10.9% in the second quarter of 2013, from 13.2% in the second quarter of 2012, due to improved operating leverage as a result of increased absorption per community.
Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, related to the Company's share of operating earnings of Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, primarily as a result of sales of homesites to third parties by one unconsolidated entity that resulted in $13.0 million of equity in earnings. This compared to Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) of ($9.4) million in the second quarter of 2012, which included $5.4 million of valuation adjustments related to asset sales at Lennar Homebuilding's unconsolidated entities.
Lennar Homebuilding other income (expense), net, totaled ($2.7) million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to Lennar Homebuilding other income (expense), net, of $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to a $15.0 million gain on the sale of an operating property.
4-4-4
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $54.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 ($29.0 million was included in cost of homes sold, $0.7 million in cost of land sold and $25.1 million in other interest expense), compared to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 ($20.4 million was included in cost of homes sold, $0.6 million in cost of land sold and $23.8 million in other interest expense). Interest expense increased due to an increase in the Company's outstanding debt and an increase in deliveries, partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate compared to the same period last year.
Lennar Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Lennar Financial Services segment were $29.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in profitability in the segment's mortgage and title operations was primarily due to an increase in the volume of transactions and a higher profit per transaction.
Rialto Investments
Operating earnings for the Rialto Investments segment were $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 (which included $8.5 million of operating earnings offset by $5.7 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to operating earnings of $4.3 million (which included $7.5 million of operating earnings offset by $3.2 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests) in the same period last year. Revenues in this segment were $25.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, which consisted primarily of accretable interest income associated with the segment’s portfolio of real estate loans and fees for managing and servicing assets, compared to revenues of $33.5 million in the same period last year. Revenues decreased primarily due to lower interest income as a result of a decrease in the segment's portfolio of loans. Expenses in this segment were $28.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, which consisted primarily of costs related to its portfolio operations, loan impairments of $3.5 million primarily associated with the segment's FDIC loan portfolio (before noncontrolling interests) and other general and administrative expenses, compared to expenses of $30.2 million, which consisted primarily of costs related to its portfolio operations, due diligence expenses related to both completed and abandoned transactions, and other general and administrative expenses in the same period last year. Expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in loan servicing expenses.
Rialto Investments equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, which primarily included $4.3 million of equity in earnings related to the Company's share of earnings from the Rialto real estate funds. Equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2012, which included $2.5 million of interest income earned by the AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AB”) fund formed under the Federal government’s Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”) and $3.0 million of equity in earnings related to the Rialto Real Estate Fund (the "Fund I").
5-5-5
The segment also had other income (expense), net, of $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, which consisted primarily of realized gains on the sale of real estate owned (“REO”) of $18.5 million and rental income, partially offset by expenses related to owning and maintaining REO and REO impairments. Rialto Investments other income (expense), net, was ($1.4) million in the second quarter of 2012, which consisted primarily of expenses related to owning and maintaining REO and impairments of REO, partially offset by realized gains on the sale of REO of $8.4 million and rental income.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $33.9 million, or 2.4% as a percentage of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $29.2 million, or 3.1% as a percentage of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel related expenses as a result of variable compensation expense.
Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $5.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2013 were primarily related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that the Company acquired in partnership with the FDIC. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2012 were primarily 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 a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company's homebuilding operations.
Income Taxes
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that a portion of its state deferred tax assets would be utilized. This conclusion was based on additional positive evidence including actual and forecasted earnings, as well as the Company generating cumulative pre-tax earnings over a rolling four year period including the second quarter of 2013. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company reversed $41.3 million of its valuation allowance against its state deferred tax assets. This reversal was offset by a tax provision of $60.8 million primarily related to second quarter 2013 pre-tax earnings. Therefore, the Company had a $19.5 million provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2013. As of May 31, 2013, the Company's remaining valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was $22.5 million, which is primarily related to state net operating loss carryforwards that may expire due to short carryforward periods. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company reversed $403.0 million of its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
6-6-6
Debt Transactions
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company issued an additional $50 million of the 4.750% Senior Notes due 2022 in a private offering under SEC Rule 144A. The net proceeds of the sale will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include repayment or repurchase of its other outstanding senior notes. In addition, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company retired $63.0 million of the 5.95% Senior Notes due 2013 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the maturity date.
Credit Facility
In June 2013, the Company increased the aggregate principal amount of its unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to $950 million, which includes a $33 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, and extended the Credit Facility's maturity date to June 2017. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit agreement also provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. Additionally, the Company terminated its $150 million Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement and its $50 million Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement.

New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 7,623 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2013 from 5,664 homes in the same period last year.

(3) | 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. |
