Miami, June 26, 2014 -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2014. Second quarter 2014 net earnings attributable to Lennar were $137.7 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2013 net earnings attributable to Lennar of $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.
Stuart Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Lennar Corporation, said, "We are extremely pleased with our operating results in the second quarter. Our core homebuilding business is hitting on all cylinders. Fueled by a 14% increase in our average sales price and continued momentum from our land acquisition strategy, our gross and operating margins increased to 25.5% and 14.7%, respectively, the highest second quarter margins in the Company’s history."
Mr. Miller continued, "While the spring selling season was softer than anticipated by us and the investor community, the homebuilding recovery continued its progression at a slow and steady pace. The fundamentals of the homebuilding industry remain strong driven by high affordability levels, favorable monthly payment comparisons to rentals and overall supply shortages. Demand in most of our markets continues to outpace supply, which is constrained by limited land availability."
"Complementing our core homebuilding business, our multifamily rental segment has continued to mature. With a geographically diversified pipeline exceeding $4 billion and 17,000 apartments, this segment is positioned to become a meaningful contributor to our earnings. We expect to sell our first apartment community in the third quarter and should begin to have a more consistent pattern of apartment property sales, starting in the second half of 2015. Meanwhile, Rialto has continued its strategic growth to becoming a best in class asset manager. Rialto’s fund investments are poised for strong long term returns and its mortgage conduit business continues to provide steady, current earnings."
Mr. Miller concluded, "While our homebuilding business remains the primary driver of our earnings growth, we are extremely well positioned across all of our platforms to capitalize on the opportunities of a recovering market."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2014 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2013
Lennar Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 28% in the second quarter of 2014 to $1.6 billion from $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2013. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 12% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 14% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 4,976 homes in the second quarter of 2014 from 4,449




3-3-3
homes in the second quarter of 2013. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of the Company's Homebuilding segments, except in the Company's Homebuilding Southeast Florida segment. The decrease in home deliveries in the Homebuilding Southeast Florida segment was primarily due to a higher mix of start-up communities. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to $322,000 in the second quarter of 2014 from $283,000 in the second quarter of 2013. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $20,300 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2014, or 5.9% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $20,200 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2013, or 6.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $21,300 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2014, or 6.3% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were $409.6 million, or 25.5%, in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $303.3 million, or 24.1%, in the second quarter of 2013. Gross margin percentage on home sales improved compared to the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenue from home sales, an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered, a greater percentage of deliveries from the Company's new higher margin communities (communities where land was acquired subsequent to November 30, 2008) and $9.6 million of insurance recoveries and other nonrecurring items, partially offset by an increase in materials, labor and land costs. Gross profits on land sales totaled $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2013.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $173.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $136.6 million in the second quarter of 2013. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 10.8% in the second quarter of 2014, from 10.9% in the second quarter of 2013.
Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2013. In the second quarter of 2013, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities 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.
Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, totaled $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2013.
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $49.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 ($38.6 million was included in cost of homes sold, $0.3 million in cost of land sold and $10.3 million in other interest expense), compared to $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). Interest expense decreased primarily due to an increase in qualifying assets eligible for interest capitalization, partially offset by an increase in the Company's outstanding debt and an increase in home deliveries.



4-4-4
Lennar Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Lennar Financial Services segment were $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $29.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in profitability was primarily due to a more competitive environment as a result of a significant decrease in refinance transactions, which led to lower profit per transaction in the segment's mortgage operations and a decrease in volume in the segment's title operations.
Rialto Investments
Operating earnings for the Rialto Investments ("Rialto") segment were $13.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 (which is comprised of a $3.7 million operating loss and an add back of $17.1 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to operating earnings of $2.8 million (which included $8.5 million of operating earnings offset by $5.7 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests) in the second quarter of 2013.
Revenues in this segment were $54.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, which consisted primarily of securitization revenue and interest income from Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF"), Rialto's new loan origination and securitization business, which primarily accounted for the increase in revenues in the second quarter of 2014, interest income associated with the Rialto segment's portfolio of real estate loans and fees for managing and servicing assets. This compared to revenues of $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.
Expenses in this segment were $79.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, which consisted primarily of loan impairments of $33.9 million, primarily associated with the segment's FDIC loan portfolio (before noncontrolling interests), costs related to RMF, interest expense and other general and administrative expenses, compared to expenses of $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. Expenses increased primarily due to an increase in loan impairments due to changes in the estimated cash flows expected to be collected on the segment's loan portfolios, increases in securitization expenses and general and administrative expenses related to RMF and interest expense related to Rialto's issuance of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Rialto Investments equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities were $17.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, which were primarily related to the Company's share of earnings from the Rialto real estate funds.





5-5-5
In the second quarter of 2014, Rialto Investments other income, net, was $3.6 million, which consisted primarily of net realized gains on the sale of real estate owned ("REO") of $14.2 million, rental and other income, partially offset by expenses related to owning and maintaining REO and other expenses. In the second quarter of 2013, Rialto Investments other income, net, was $6.6 million, which consisted primarily of net realized gains on the sale of REO of $18.5 million and rental income, partially offset by expenses related to owning and maintaining REO.
Lennar Multifamily
Operating loss for the Lennar Multifamily segment was $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. The operating loss in Lennar Multifamily primarily related to general contractor expenses and general and administrative expenses of the segment, partially offset by general contractor and management fee income.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $38.3 million, or 2.1% as a percentage of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $33.9 million, or 2.4% as a percentage of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2013. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses improved due to increased operating leverage.
Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were ($15.1) million and $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, which were primarily related to net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests associated with the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that the Company acquired in partnership with the FDIC.
Income Taxes
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company had an $81.0 million provision for income taxes, compared to a $19.5 million net tax provision in the second quarter of 2013, which included a tax provision of $60.8 million primarily related to second quarter 2013 pre-tax earnings, partially offset by the reversal of $41.3 million of its valuation allowance.
Credit Facility
In June 2014, the Company increased the aggregate principal amount of its unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") from $950 million to $1.5 billion, which includes a $263 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, and extended the Credit Facility's maturity to June 2018. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Lennar Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 30% in the six months ended May 31, 2014 to $2.7 billion from $2.1 billion in 2013.

New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 8,573 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2014 from 7,623 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2013. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of the Company's Homebuilding segments, except in the Company's Homebuilding Southeast Florida segment. The decrease in home deliveries in the Homebuilding Southeast Florida segment was primarily due to a higher mix of start-up communities. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to $320,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2014 from $277,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2013.

Gross margin percentage on home sales improved compared to the six months ended May 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenue from home sales, an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered, a greater percentage of deliveries from the Company's new higher margin communities (communities where land was acquired subsequent to November 30, 2008) and $15.1 million of insurance recoveries and other nonrecurring items, partially offset by an increase in materials, labor and land costs. Gross profits on land sales totaled $21.7 million in the six months ended May 31, 2014, compared to $5.7 million in the six months ended May 31, 2013.

(1)
Diluted earnings per share includes an add back of interest of $2.0 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, related to the Company's 3.25% convertible senior notes and $2.8 million and $5.7 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, related to the Company's 2.00% and 3.25% convertible senior notes.
(2)
Amount represents interest incurred related to Lennar Homebuilding debt.
(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.

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