Lennar Corporation(NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation's leading homebuilders, today reported results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2020. Third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2020 were $666.4 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, compared to third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2019 of $513.4 million, or $1.59 per diluted share.

Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman of Lennar, said, "We are pleased to announce our results for the third quarter where we achieved net earnings of $666.4 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, compared to $513.4 million, or $1.59 per diluted share in the prior year. Our third quarter results benefited from robust market conditions combined with the solid execution of our homebuilding and financial services businesses. Fundamentals in the housing market continued to remain strong supported by record low interest rates and a continued undersupply of new and existing inventory. The housing market continued its strong rebound from the significantly weaker sales environment earlier in the year as a result of COVID-19."

Mr. Miller continued, "During the quarter, we used the strength of the homebuilding market to accelerate starts to catch up on production lost earlier in the year. We carefully matched new orders and starts, with a continued focus on cash management which has led to greater returns. In the third quarter, new orders and starts were up 16% and 17%, respectively, over last year. As expected, our new home deliveries, limited by the production pause in the second quarter, increased only 2% over last year, but our gross margin climbed to 23.1%, a 270 basis point increase over the prior year, and our net margin reached an all-time, third quarter high of 15.1%. Additionally, we paid off approximately $400 million of debt during the quarter, had no borrowings under our $2.4 billion revolving credit facility and ended the quarter with $2.0 billion in cash and homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 29.5%, an all-time low."

"Balancing the early year pause with currently robust market conditions, we expect fourth quarter closings of 15,500 - 16,000 homes with gross margins in the 23.25% - 23.5% range. Given strong demand and limited new and existing home inventory, we expect home sales to remain strong for the foreseeable future. As we maintain a balance between sales and deliveries, we expect fourth quarter sales between 13,800 and 14,300 homes."

Rick Beckwitt, Chief Executive Officer of Lennar, said, "New home sales strengthened across the country in all of our major markets during the third quarter. Our sales pace was 4.2 homes per community in the third quarter, compared to 3.4 in the prior year. Our laser-focus on improving our SG&A leverage combined with the benefits of our technology efforts resulted in an SG&A percentage of 8.0%, an all-time, third quarter low. In addition, our financial services business again performed extremely well with third quarter earnings of $135.1 million, an all-time, third quarter high."

Jon Jaffe, President of Lennar, said, "We continued to make significant progress towards becoming a land lighter company by improving our controlled percentage of total homesites by 500 basis points to 35% at the end of the third quarter from 30% in the third quarter last year, while reducing our years owned supply of homesites to 3.8 years from 4.4 at the end of last year's third quarter. Additionally, our intense focus on construction costs helped drive margin, despite our average sales price on homes delivered remaining flat. We continue to be focused on mitigating the impact of limited availability of labor and materials in certain of our markets."

Mr. Miller concluded, "The housing market has proven to be resilient in the current environment and we expect it to continue to be a significant driver in the recovery of the overall economy. With an excellent balance sheet, strong cash flow generation and continued execution of our core operating strategies, we expect to end 2020 with another very strong quarter and be extremely well positioned for an even stronger 2021."

As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 8.0% in the third quarter of 2020, from 8.3% in the third quarter of 2019 as the Company focused on improving its leverage combined with the benefits of the Company's technology efforts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2020 COMPARED TONINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2019

Homebuilding

Revenues from home sales increased 3% in the nine months ended August 31, 2020 to $14.5 billion from $14.1 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2019. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 5% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 36,775 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2020 from 35,021 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2019. The average sales price of homes delivered was $395,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2020, compared to $403,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2019. The decrease in average sales price primarily resulted from continuing to shift to lower-priced communities and regional product mix due to COVID-19 stay-at-home orders in certain higher priced markets.

Gross margin on home sales were $3.2 billion, or 21.8%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2020, compared to $2.9 billion or 20.2%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2019. The gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily due to the Company's continued focus on reducing construction costs. Loss on land sales in the nine months ended August 31, 2020 was $21.9 million, primarily due to a write-off of costs in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of Lennar not moving forward with a naval base development in Concord, California, northeast of San Francisco. Gross margin on land sales were $14.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.2 billion in both the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 8.4% in the nine months ended August 31, 2020, from 8.7% in the nine months ended August 31, 2019.

Operating earnings increased due to an improvement in the mortgage and title businesses as a result of an increase in volume and margin, as well as reductions in loan origination costs. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2020, the Financial Services segment recorded a $61.4 million gain on the deconsolidation of a previously consolidated entity.

Other Ancillary Businesses

Operating loss for the Multifamily segment was $4.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2020, compared to operating earnings of $12.7 million ($13.4 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the nine months ended August 31, 2019. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $9.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2020, compared to operating earnings of $20.7 million ($21.2 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the nine months ended August 31, 2019.

Tax Rate

For the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a tax provision of $382.5 million and $374.7 million, respectively, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 19.5% and 24.2%, respectively. The reduction in the overall effective income tax rate is primarily due to the extension of the new energy efficient home tax credit during the first quarter of 2020.

Liquidity

At August 31, 2020, the Company had $2.0 billion of Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings under its $2.4 billion revolving credit facility, thereby providing $4.4 billion of available capacity.

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(2) 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(1) 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.
