About Our Company

Our company was founded as a local Miami homebuilder in 1954. We completed our initial public offering in 1971 and listed our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange in 1972. During the 1980s and 1990s, we entered and expanded operations in a number of homebuilding markets, including California, Florida and Texas, through both organic growth and acquisitions, such as Pacific Greystone Corporation in 1997. In 2000, we acquired U.S. Home Corporation, which expanded our operations into New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Minnesota and Colorado and strengthened our position in other states. From 2002 through 2005, we acquired several regional homebuilders, which brought us into new markets and strengthened our position in several existing markets. From 2010 through 2013, we expanded our homebuilding operations into Georgia, Oregon, Washington and Tennessee. In 2017, we acquired WCI Communities, Inc., a homebuilder of luxury single-family and multifamily homes, including a small number of luxury high-rise tower units, in Florida. In 2018, we acquired CalAtlantic Group, Inc. ("CalAtlantic"), a major homebuilder which was building homes across the homebuilding spectrum, from entry level to luxury, in 43 metropolitan statistical areas spanning 19 states, and providing mortgage, title and escrow services. In February 2025, we acquired Rausch Coleman Homes ("Rausch"), a residential homebuilder, expanding our homebuilding operations into several new markets in Arkansas (Bentonville/Fayetteville, Little Rock and Jonesboro), Oklahoma (Tulsa and Stillwater), Alabama (Birmingham and Tuscaloosa), and Kansas/Missouri (Kansas City), while adding to our existing footprint in Texas (Houston and San Antonio), Oklahoma (Oklahoma City), Alabama (Huntsville) and Florida (Gulf Coast).

We are focused on increasing efficiencies in our building process and reducing selling, general and administrative expenses by using technology and innovative strategies to reduce customer acquisition costs. Our construction playbook has three primary areas of focus: lowering construction costs, reducing cycle time and achieving even flow production. We have aimed to maintain operating margins by deferring home sale price commitments until construction costs are finalized to protect against cost escalations. We focus on executing our operating strategy to be a consistent and high-volume homebuilder with production pace in sync with sales pace while using our gross margin as a shock absorber. We have advanced our transition to a land-light operating model by increasing the proportion of homesites we control through options or agreements rather than ownership. This approach enhances flexibility, reduces capital intensity, and lowers our years’ supply of owned land. In connection with our transition to a land-light operating model, in February 2025, we spun off a significant portion of our land assets to Millrose (as defined below), and, in November 2025, disposed of the remaining holdings in Millrose in an exchange offer, in which we purchased shares of Lennar Class A common stock using Millrose Class A common stock as consideration, as discussed further below under the caption “Homebuilding Operations – Millrose Spin-Off and Exchange Offer”.

Homebuilding Operations

Overview

Our homebuilding operations include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly through entities in which we have investments. New home deliveries, including deliveries from unconsolidated entities, were 82,583 in fiscal 2025, compared to 80,210 in fiscal 2024 and

73,087 in fiscal 2023. We primarily sell homes in communities targeted to first-time, move-up, active adult, and luxury homebuyers. The average sales price of a Lennar home varies depending on product and geographic location. For fiscal 2025, the average sales price, excluding deliveries from unconsolidated entities, was $391,000, compared to $423,000 in fiscal 2024 and $445,000 in fiscal 2023.

We operate primarily under the Lennar brand name. Our homebuilding mission is focused on the profitable development of residential communities. Key elements of our strategy include:

  • Focus on Strong Operating Margins - Our purchasing leverage combined with our focus on reducing selling, general and administrative costs by using technology and innovative strategies and reducing interest expense through paydowns of debt has enabled us to achieve strong gross profit and operating margins.
  • Everything’s Included® Approach - We are focused on distinguishing our products, including through our Everything’s Included® approach, which maximizes our purchasing power, enables us to include luxury features as standard items in our homes and simplifies our homebuilding operations.
  • Innovative Homebuilding - We are constantly innovating the homes we build to create products that better meet our customers' needs and desires. Our Next Gen® homes provide what can be a home within a home to accommodate children or parents or can be an office from which to work remotely.
  • Core Plans - We are integrating standardized, highly efficient, value engineered Plan series across all divisions at different price points. The Core Plans are driving cost savings and strong operating margins, while delivering great value for our homebuyers.
  • Flexible Operating Structure - Our local operating structure gives us the flexibility to make operating decisions based on local homebuilding conditions and customer preferences, while our centralized management structure provides strategic oversight for our homebuilding operations.
  • Digital Marketing - We are increasingly advertising homes through digital channels, which is significantly increasing the cost effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
  • Dynamic pricing model - We match up unsold production as homes progress toward completion, with pricing information from our dynamic pricing model on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis.
  • Technology Focused - We partner with and/or invest in technology companies that are looking to improve the homebuilding and financial services industries to increase efficiencies, reduce customer acquisition costs and create a better customer experience.
  • Land-light strategy - We are focused on having a minimal amount of years' supply of owned homesites and high percentage of land we control through options or agreements, including agreements with strategic land banks and joint ventures, rather than ownership. In connection with this strategy, we spun off a significant portion of our land assets to Millrose, as discussed further below under the caption “Homebuilding Operations – Millrose Spin-Off.”
  • Even flow production - We adjust prices, with our gross margin being a shock absorber, in an effort to maintain consistent starts and sales paces in order to generate increased market share in all the markets we build in.

Diversified Program of Property Acquisition

We generally acquire, or obtain options to acquire, land for development and for the construction of homes that we sell to homebuyers. Land purchases are subject to specified underwriting criteria and are made through our diversified program of property acquisition, which may consist of:

  • Acquiring land through option contracts, which generally enables us to control portions of properties owned by land banks and other third parties or entities in which we have investments until we have determined whether to exercise the options;
  • Acquiring land directly from individual land owners/developers, or other homebuilders;
  • Acquiring local or regional homebuilders that own, or have options to purchase, land in strategic markets;
  • Acquiring access to land through joint ventures or partnerships, which among other benefits, limits the amount of our capital invested in land while helping to ensure our access to potential future homesites and allowing us to participate in strategic ventures;
  • Investing in regional developers in exchange for preferential land purchase opportunities; and
  • Acquiring land in conjunction with our Multifamily business.

For the last several years, we have been reducing our reliance on land we own and increasing our access to land through options and joint ventures, most significantly through our use of land banks which is a critical part of our operating strategy. At November 30, 2025, 98% of our total homesites were controlled through options with land banks, land sellers and joint ventures compared to 82% at November 30, 2024. For additional information about our investments in and relationships with unconsolidated entities, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of this Report.

Construction and Development

We are involved in all phases of planning and building in our residential communities, including land acquisition, site planning, preparation and improvement of land and design, construction and marketing of homes. We use independent subcontractors for most aspects of land development and home construction. At November 30, 2025, we were actively building and marketing homes in 1,708 communities, including nine communities being constructed by unconsolidated entities. This was an increase from the 1,447 communities, including 11 communities being constructed by unconsolidated entities, in which we were actively building and marketing homes at November 30, 2024. At November 30, 2025 and 2024, we had about 5,000 and 2,900 completed unsold homes, respectively, which resulted in 2.9 and 2.0 completed unsold homes per community, respectively.

We generally supervise and control the development of land and the design and building of our residential communities with a relatively small labor force. We hire subcontractors for site improvements and virtually all of the work involved in the construction of homes. Arrangements with our subcontractors generally provide that our subcontractors will complete specified work in accordance with price and time schedules and in compliance with applicable building codes and laws. The price schedules may be subject to change to meet changes in labor and material costs or for other reasons. We generally do not own heavy construction equipment. We finance construction and land development activities primarily with cash generated from operations and historically from proceeds of unsecured corporate debt. In addition, when our land bank partners, including Millrose, acquire undeveloped or partially developed land that we have options to purchase, they finance the horizontal development of all such homesites up to pre-negotiated development budgets, which is incorporated into the takedown prices for Lennar’s purchase options on the properties.

Marketing

We offer a diversified line of homes for first-time, move-up, active adult, luxury and multi-generational homebuyers in a variety of locations ranging from urban infill communities to suburban golf course communities. Our Everything’s Included® marketing program enables us to differentiate our homes from those of our competitors by including premium features as standard at competitive prices, while reducing construction and overhead costs through a simplified construction process, product standardization and volume purchasing. Most of our homes include home automation and technology components, as well as energy efficient materials and systems, which enhances our brand. We sell our homes from models that we have designed and constructed. We employ new home consultants who are paid salaries, commissions or both to conduct on-site sales of our homes. We also sell homes through independent realtors. We have made it possible for potential homebuyers to take virtual tours of model homes. During fiscal 2025 and 2024, even with shifts in macroeconomic factors in much of the period, we were able to develop, enhance, use, and improve the Lennar machine. Our sales, marketing, and dynamic pricing machine is quickly becoming an advanced digital engine that has materially benefited from aggressive, focused use and engagement while the market was most difficult.

Our marketing strategy has increasingly involved advertising through digital channels including real estate listing sites, paid search, display advertising, social media and e-mail marketing, all of which drive traffic to our website, www.lennar.com (http://www.lennar.com). This has allowed us to attract more qualified and knowledgeable homebuyers. However, we also continue to advertise through more traditional media on a limited basis, including newspapers, other local and regional publications, radio and on billboards where appropriate. We tailor our marketing strategy and message based on the community being advertised and the customers being targeted, such as advertising our active adult communities in areas where prospective active adult homebuyers live or will potentially want to purchase. During fiscal 2025 and 2024, increased interest rates as compared to prior years have made our homes less affordable to many prospective buyers and led us to reduce prices and/or increase sales incentives in a number of our communities to maintain sales pace.

Quality Service

We continually strive to improve homeowner customer satisfaction throughout the pre-sale, sale, construction, closing and post-closing periods. We strive to create a quality homebuying experience for our customers through the participation of sales associates, on-site construction supervisors and customer care associates, all working in a team effort, as well as use of technology to simplify the homebuying and financing process. We believe this leads to enhanced customer retention and referrals. The quality of our homes is substantially affected by the efforts of on-site management and others engaged in the construction process, by the materials we use in particular homes, and by other similar factors.

We warrant our new homes against defective materials and workmanship for a minimum period of one year after the date of closing. Although we subcontract virtually all segments of construction to others and our contracts call for the subcontractors to repair or replace any deficient items related to their trades, we are primarily responsible to the homebuyers for the correction of any deficiencies.

Local Operating Structure and Centralized Management

We balance a local operating structure with centralized corporate level management. Our local operating structure consists of homebuilding divisions across the country, each of which is usually managed by a division president, a controller and personnel focused on land acquisition, entitlement and development, sales, construction, customer service and purchasing. This local operating structure gives our division presidents and their teams, who generally have significant experience in the homebuilding industry, and in most instances, in their particular markets, the flexibility to make local operating decisions, including land identification, entitlement and development, the management of inventory levels for our current sales volume, community development, home design, construction and marketing of our homes. We centralize at the corporate level decisions related to our overall strategy, acquisitions and disposition of land and businesses, risk management, financing, cash management and information systems.

Backlog

Backlog represents the number of homes under sales contracts. Homes are sold using sales contracts, which are generally accompanied by deposits. In some instances, purchasers are permitted to cancel sales contracts if they fail to qualify for financing or under certain other circumstances. We experienced a cancellation rate of 14% in both 2025 and 2024. We do not recognize revenue on homes that are the subject of sales contracts until the sales are closed and title passes to the new homeowners.

The backlog dollar value including unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2025 was $5.2 billion, compared to $5.4 billion at November 30, 2024. We expect that a significant portion of homes currently in backlog will be delivered in fiscal year 2026.

Homebuilding Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We create and participate in joint ventures that acquire and develop land for our homebuilding operations, for sale to third parties or for use in the ventures' own homebuilding operations. Through these joint ventures, we reduce the amount we invest in potential future homesites, thereby reducing risks associated with land acquisitions and improving the return on our investments, and, in some instances, we obtain access to land to which we could not otherwise have obtained access or could not have obtained access on as favorable terms. As of both November 30, 2025 and 2024, we had equity investments in 50 active homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities, in which we were participating, and our maximum recourse debt exposure related to Homebuilding unconsolidated joint ventures was $30.1 million and $44.2 million, respectively. This is discussed in greater detail in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of this Report.

Millrose Spin-Off and Exchange Offer

In February 2025, we successfully completed the taxable spin-off of Millrose Properties, Inc. (“Millrose”) from Lennar through a distribution of approximately 80% of Millrose's common stock to our stockholders (the “Millrose Spin-Off”). We temporarily retained, but did not vote, the remaining 20% of the total outstanding shares of Millrose common stock in the form of Millrose Class A common stock. In connection with the Millrose Spin-Off, we contributed to Millrose $5.6 billion in land assets and cash of $1.0 billion, which included $584 million of cash deposits related to option contracts. The Millrose Spin-Off transaction accelerated our longstanding strategy of becoming a pure-play, asset-light, new home manufacturing company.

In November 2025, we completed the disposition of approximately 20% of Millrose’s total outstanding shares through an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”), which resulted in Lennar acquiring 8,049,594 shares of Lennar Class A common stock in exchange for 33,298,754 shares of Millrose Class A common stock. Following the Exchange Offer, Lennar retains an immaterial amount of the total outstanding shares of Millrose common stock (both Millrose Class A common stock and Millrose Class B common stock), which comprise solely the forfeited Millrose shares.

Financial Services Operations

Residential Mortgage Financing

We offer conforming conventional, FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed residential mortgage loan products and other residential mortgage products primarily to buyers of our homes through our financial services subsidiary, Lennar Mortgage, LLC, from locations in most of the states in which we have homebuilding operations. In fiscal year 2025, our financial services subsidiaries provided loans to 84% of our homebuyers who obtained mortgage financing in areas where we offered services. Because of the availability of mortgage loans from our financial services subsidiaries, as well as from independent mortgage lenders, we believe almost all creditworthy potential purchasers of our homes have access to financing.

During fiscal year 2025, we originated approximately 55,900 residential mortgage loans totaling $20.0 billion, compared to 54,600 residential mortgage loans totaling $19.8 billion during fiscal year 2024. Substantially all of the residential mortgage loans we originate are sold within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, a majority of them on a servicing-released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, we retain potential liability for claims by purchasers that we breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Occasional claims of this type are a normal incident of loan securitization activities. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position. During fiscal year 2025, we also locked interest rates on approximately 56,900 residential mortgage loans totaling $19.9 billion, compared to 54,200 residential mortgage loans totaling $19.5 billion during fiscal year 2024.

We finance our mortgage loan activities with borrowings under our financial services warehouse facilities or funds from our operating activities. At November 30, 2025, Financial Services had six warehouse residential facilities maturing at various dates through fiscal year 2027 with a total maximum borrowing capacity of $3.3 billion including an uncommitted amount of $2.1 billion. We expect the facilities to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. If they are not renewed or replaced, we would have to find other sources of funding for our mortgage originations, which might include our own funds. We have a corporate risk management policy under which we hedge our interest rate risk on rate-locked loan commitments and loans held-for-sale to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

We have been using new technology to automate portions of our mortgage loan origination process. This new technology has made the mortgage financing process easier for homebuyers and improved the customer experience. This new technology has also enabled us to increase the number of digital closings, with digital document signing and, where legally permitted, digital notarization.

Title, Insurance and Closing Services

We are licensed to provide title insurance, and closing services for residential and/or commercial transactions in 37 states to our homebuyers and others. During fiscal year 2025 and 2024, we provided closing services with regard to approximately 86,300 and 82,400, real estate transactions in 27 and 25 states, respectively.

Commercial Mortgage Origination

Our LMF Commercial subsidiary originates and sells into securitizations first mortgage loans, which are secured by income producing commercial properties. The loans generally are between $5 million and $50 million each. LMF Commercial also originates floating rate loans secured by commercial real estate properties, many of which are in transition, undergoing lease-up, sell-out, renovation or repositioning. In order to finance LMF Commercial lending activities, as of November 30, 2025, LMF Commercial had two warehouse repurchase financing agreements maturing at various dates through fiscal year 2028 with commitments totaling $300 million. This is discussed in greater detail in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of this Report.

Lennar Other

Strategic Technology Investments

We strategically invest in companies involved in technology initiatives that, among other things, help us enhance the homebuying or home ownership experience, reduce our SG&A expenses and help us stay at the forefront of homebuilding innovation. At November 30, 2025, the book value of our investment in strategic technology investments was $581.8 million and is included in our Lennar Other segment.

For additional information about our investments in strategic technology investments, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of this Report.

Multifamily Operations

Our Multifamily business has been engaged in the development of multifamily communities since 2011. Initially, the Multifamily business almost exclusively participated in shorter-duration joint ventures that built multifamily communities with the intention of selling them soon after they were built, and in most cases after they were substantially occupied. However, the Multifamily business now manages, and owns interests in, longer-duration funds that build multifamily communities with the intention of retaining them as rental income-generating assets. At November 30, 2025, Multifamily had interests in, and was managing, four funds and 21 active joint ventures.

From inception through November 30, 2025, the Multifamily business has capitalized and developed 128 multifamily residential communities with approximately 39,300 rental units across 20 states throughout the United States. The communities developed by the Multifamily business include a diversified mix of conventional garden, mid-rise and high-rise multifamily properties in urban and suburban locations near major employment centers. Most communities offer residents a mix of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom homes.

As of November 30, 2025, funds and ventures managed by Multifamily had a pipeline of 32 potential future developments, which were owned, under contract or subject to letters of intent, totaling approximately $2.8 billion in anticipated development costs across several states.

Multifamily has co-investments in all the funds and ventures it manages, and receives returns on these investments. In addition, it has carried interests in the funds or ventures it manages, and receives distributions with regard to those carried interests.

Lennar Multifamily Venture Fund I (“LMV I") is a long-term multifamily development investment vehicle involved in the development and construction of class-A multifamily assets. During the second half of fiscal 2024, the LMV I partners decided to liquidate and sell all of its 38 rental operation projects as the fund has come to the end of its contractual life. During the year ended November 30, 2024, 33 LMV I rental operation projects were sold to various third-party buyers. During the year ended November 30, 2025, two additional LMV I rental operation projects were sold to third-party buyers.

In December 2025, we sold a majority interest in Quarterra Group, Inc ("Quarterra"), a subsidiary of our Multifamily segment, to TPG Real Estate (“TPG”), thus retaining a minority interest. TPG’s acquisition of Quarterra and its $1.0 billion strategic commitment, combined with Lennar’s insights, will accelerate Quarterra’s development pipeline and strengthen its platform for delivering thoughtfully designed rental communities in high-growth markets. The sale of Quarterra to TPG did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Single-Family Home Rentals

In December 2020, Lennar formed the Upward America Venture, LLC (“Upward America”), which (a) acquires communities of single-family rental properties (including townhomes, duplexes and condominium buildings developed or acquired for rental purposes), and (b) leases and manages homes in those communities. Lennar subsidiaries are the manager and the general partner of Upward America. The investment period for Upward America closed in 2024, reducing the equity commitments from investors from $1.6 billion to $1.0 billion. As of November 30, 2025, institutional investors and Lennar had committed $1.0 billion to Upward America, part of which was used to reduce an initial commitment Lennar had made from $225 million to $78.1 million. Proceeds of commitments by other investors may be used to redeem more of Lennar’s ownership, but Lennar has agreed not to reduce its ownership below $50 million.

As owner of the general partner of Upward America, Lennar has the right to receive, in addition to distributions regarding its own commitments, distributions based on the amounts by which returns to limited partners exceed specified amounts (i.e., carried interests). As the manager of Upward America, Lennar receives management and acquisition fees. Lennar subsidiaries may also receive fees for property management, leasing, construction management and other services that they render through subcontractors. In April 2024, Upward America entered into a joint venture agreement and property management agreement with Invitation Homes. In addition, Lennar engaged Invitation Homes to provide certain asset management services for the Upward America Venture.

At November 30, 2025, Upward America had purchased 4,697 homes in 103 communities across 19 metropolitan statistical areas for a total purchase price of $1.2 billion (an average price of $258,000 per home) and disposed of 275 homes for a total sales price of $82.0 million (an average price of $298,000 per home). The Limited Partnership Agreement of Upward America gives Upward America the right to purchase from Lennar for their appraised value all homes or communities that are purpose built by Lennar for single-family home rental. Upward America also is free to purchase homes from homebuilders other than Lennar or to purchase previously occupied homes. Initially all the homes purchased by Upward America were purchased from Lennar, but subsequently, Upward America began purchasing homes from multiple homebuilders. At both November 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 6% of the homes owned by Upward America were built by homebuilders other than Lennar.

Five Point Holdings, LLC

We own an indirect approximately 40% interest in FivePoint, which is a publicly traded developer of three large master planned mixed-use developments in California (Newhall Ranch, Great Park Neighborhoods, and San Francisco Shipyard/Candlestick Point). We sometimes purchase properties from FivePoint for use in our homebuilding operations. We have no active role in the management of FivePoint, except that since August 2021 our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has been the non-employee Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors (but not the chief executive officer) of FivePoint since August 2021. As of November 30, 2025, the carrying amount of our investment in FivePoint was $585.2 million.

Rialto Fund Investments

Until November 30, 2018, we had a group of subsidiaries, including Rialto Capital Management, LLC ("Rialto"), that primarily managed real estate related investment funds and other real estate related investment vehicles. We sold the Rialto Management Group on November 30, 2018. However, we retained the right to share in carried interest distributions from some of the funds and other investment vehicles Rialto manages. We also retained limited partner investments in several Rialto funds and investment vehicles that totaled $133.0 million as of November 30, 2025.

Seasonality

We historically have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. Our homebuilding business is seasonal in nature and generally reflects higher levels of new home order activity in our second and third fiscal quarters and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, a variety of factors can alter seasonal patterns. In addition, we are working towards moving to a more even flow production where we start, sell and deliver a similar number of homes each quarter.

Competition

The residential homebuilding industry is highly competitive. In each of the market regions where we operate, we compete for homebuyers with numerous national, regional and local homebuilders, as well as with resales of existing homes and with the rental housing market. We compete for homebuyers on the basis of a number of interrelated factors including location, price, reputation for customer satisfaction, amenities, design, quality and financing. In addition to competition for homebuyers, we also compete with other homebuilders for desirable properties, raw materials and access to reliable, skilled labor. We compete with a wide variety of property owners in our efforts to sell land to homebuilders and others. We believe we are competitive in the market regions where we operate primarily due to our:

  • Everything’s Included® marketing program, which simplifies the homebuying experience by including the most desirable features as standard items;
  • Innovative home designs, such as our Next Gen® homes that provide both privacy and togetherness for multi-generational families or a home office to accommodate working from home;
  • Inclusion of built-in Wi-Fi, solar power systems and advanced technology in many of our homes;
  • Consumer insight capabilities, which allow us to continually stay tapped into consumer preferences and feedback so we can continuously evolve and fine-tune our offerings, processes and communications for our customers;
  • Financial position as a result of our ability to finance land purchases and development activities with operating revenues and corporate level unsecured borrowing;
  • Access to land, particularly in land-constrained markets;
  • Pricing to current market conditions;
  • Cost efficiencies realized through our national purchasing programs and production of value-engineered homes;
  • Quality construction and home warranty programs, which are supported by a responsive customer care team;
  • Our builder of choice program through which we maximize the efficiency of our suppliers' dealing with us;
  • Size and scale in leading markets;
  • Use of digital channels to advertise homes;
  • Utilization of the Lennar machine to convert digital leads into appointments and ultimately drive those appointments into closed sales; and
  • Strategic investments in technology initiatives through our LENX investments in companies that help us enhance the homebuying and home ownership experience, and help us stay at the forefront of homebuilding innovation.

Our residential financial services operations compete with other residential mortgage lenders, including national, regional and local mortgage bankers and brokers, banks, savings and loan associations, non-bank mortgage lenders and other financial institutions, in the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans. Principal competitive factors include interest rates and other features of mortgage loan products available to the consumer. We compete with other title insurance agencies and underwriters for closing services and title insurance. Principal competitive factors include service and price.

Our LMF Commercial subsidiary's commercial mortgage origination and sale business competes with a wide variety of banks and other lenders that offer small and mid-sized mortgage loans to commercial enterprises. Competition is based primarily on service, price and relationships with mortgage brokers and other referral sources. LMF Commercial is run by highly seasoned managers who have been originating and securitizing loans for over 30 years and benefit from long-standing relationships with referral sources, as well as being able to leverage Lennar's infrastructure facilities for rapid market entrances and analysis. We believe these factors give LMF Commercial an advantage over many of the lenders with which it competes.

Additionally, we believe access to Lennar's local homebuilding teams provides LMF Commercial with a distinct advantage in its evaluation of real estate assets.

In each region where we develop and operate multifamily properties, there is competition for residents with other owners of residential real estate (whether for-rent or for-sale). In addition, when capital raising, we compete with a wide variety of other investment opportunities that are being marketed by other firms, related both to real estate and to a variety of other investment products. We also compete for developable land with other developers of real estate for a variety of uses.

In each region where our funds offer single-family homes for rent, there is competition for residents with other owners of residential real estate (whether for-rent or for-sale). In addition, in seeking investors to acquire interests in funds we form, we will be competing with a wide variety of investment opportunities, related both to real estate and to a variety of other investment products. Also, in seeking to acquire single-family homes that our funds can hold as rental properties, our funds will be competing with other persons who plan to hold them as rental properties as well as persons who might want to purchase those homes to live in them.

Regulation

The residential communities and multifamily apartment developments that we build are subject to a large variety of local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to, among other things, zoning, construction permits or entitlements, construction materials, density, building design and property elevation, building codes and handling of waste. These include laws requiring the use of construction materials that reduce the need for energy-consuming heating and cooling systems. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent change and often increase construction costs. For example, the California Energy Commission has adopted a requirement that most newly built homes in California must have rooftop solar panels. In some instances, we must comply with laws that require commitments from us to provide roads and other offsite infrastructure, and may require them to be in place prior to the commencement of new home construction. These laws and regulations are usually administered by counties and municipalities and may result in fees and assessments or building moratoriums. In addition, many new development projects are subject to assessments for schools, parks, streets and highways and other public improvements, the costs of which can be substantial. Also, some governmental agencies are attempting to make homebuilders responsible for violations of wage and other labor laws by their subcontractors.

Residential homebuilding and apartment development are also subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning the protection of health and the environment. These environmental laws include such subjects as storm water and surface water management, soil, groundwater and wetlands protection, subsurface conditions and air quality protection and enhancement. Environmental laws may result in delays in developing properties, may cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs and may prohibit or severely restrict homebuilding activity in environmentally sensitive regions or areas.

Over the years, several cities and counties in which we have developments have submitted to voters "slow growth" initiatives and other ballot measures that could impact the affordability and availability of land suitable for residential development within those localities. Although many of these initiatives have been defeated, if similar initiatives were approved, residential construction by us and others within certain cities or counties could be seriously impacted.

In order to make it possible for some of our homebuyers to obtain FHA-insured or VA-guaranteed mortgages, we must construct the homes they buy in compliance with regulations promulgated by those agencies. Various states have statutory disclosure requirements relating to the marketing and sale of new homes. These disclosure requirements vary widely from state-to-state. In some states, we are required to be registered as a licensed contractor and comply with applicable rules and regulations. In various states, our new home consultants are required to be registered as licensed real estate agents and to adhere to the laws governing the practices of real estate agents.

Our mortgage and title subsidiaries must comply with applicable real estate, lending and insurance laws and regulations. The subsidiaries are licensed in the states in which they do business and must comply with laws and regulations in those states. These laws and regulations include provisions regarding capitalization, operating procedures, investments, lending and privacy disclosures, forms of policies and premiums. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains a number of requirements relating to mortgage lending and securitizations. These include, among others, minimum standards for lender practices, limitations on certain fees and a requirement that the originator of loans that are securitized retain a portion of the risk, either directly or by holding interests in the securitizations.

Several federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including, but not limited to, the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA") and the Federal Trade Commission Act and comparable state statutes, regulate consumer debt collection activity. Although, for a variety of reasons, we may not be specifically subject to the FDCPA or to some state statutes that govern debt collectors, it is our policy to comply with applicable laws in our collection activities. To the extent that some or all of these laws apply to our collection activities, our failure to comply with such laws could have a material adverse effect on us. We are also subject to regulations promulgated by the Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding residential mortgage loans.

Environment

We are focused on creating environmentally sustainable products, and our purchasing power enables us to include green features in our homes. Each new home we build is healthier and more energy efficient, and has less impact on the environment, than prior generations of homes as a result of features like:

  • Low-VOC paint that reduces pollution with less odor and hazard;
  • WaterSense® faucets that reduce water flow without sacrificing performance;
  • Low-E windows that reduce infrared and ultraviolet light coming into the home, make homes cooler, and reduce damage to furnishing; and
  • Energy Star® appliances that reduce energy consumption.

In addition, our home design and engineering work optimizes efficient use of building materials and reduces construction waste.

We also believe in the value of clean energy from solar power, and we consistently seek opportunities to integrate solar power where it provides great value for our homebuyers.

Human Capital Management

Talent Management, Culture and Leadership Development

Our associates (i.e., employees) are our most valuable asset, and we are committed to supporting each associate’s unique career journey. We were built on a culture of “Everyone’s Included” and put a conscious focus on the associate experience, bringing together the best talent to drive success as part of our “Lennar family.” We believe having an inclusive work environment, where everyone has a sense of belonging, not only drives engagement but also fosters innovation, which is critical to drive growth.

Our success starts and ends with having the best talent, and, as a result, we are focused on attracting, developing, engaging and retaining our associates. We believe strongly that “Leadership Matters” and seek to hire, retain and train our leaders to value integrity, curiosity, resourcefulness, operational excellence, collaboration and a customer-centric mindset. We understand the importance of balance, and offer associates a competitive and comprehensive benefits package, and resources for whole-self well-being (physical, social, and financial).

Health and Safety

We are committed to the health and safety of our associates and trade partners. We hired a full-time Chief Medical Officer in early 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our experienced teams adapt quickly to changes in safety protocols to protect our associates, trade partners and homebuyers. We are also committed to worker safety and regulatory compliance, and among other things, require that office associates with oversight of construction and associates who work in the field take additional safety courses. Our Board and its Audit Committee regularly review the results of OSHA visits and other safety-related information to ensure that we are successfully managing and improving our safety program.

Employees and Labor Relations

Although we subcontract the land development and construction aspects of our homebuilding activities, we are highly dependent on our skilled employees for critical aspects of what we do. That includes senior executives who are responsible for our operational strategies and for approving significant land acquisitions and other major investments we make. It also includes the people who head our homebuilding divisions and non-homebuilding segments. And it includes the many people who are involved in design, construction oversight, marketing and other aspects of our homebuilding business and in carrying out our other activities.

At November 30, 2025, we employed 12,532 individuals of whom 10,182 were involved in the Homebuilding operations, 2,132 were involved in the Financial Services operations and 218 were involved in the Multifamily operations, compared to November 30, 2024, when we employed 13,265 individuals of whom 10,653 were involved in the Homebuilding operations, 2,066 were involved in the Financial Services operations and 546 were involved in the Multifamily operations. We do not have collective bargaining agreements relating to any of our associates. However, we subcontract many phases of our homebuilding operations and some of the subcontractors we use have employees who are represented by labor unions. We believe our overall relations with our workforce are healthy.

We are firmly committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all applicants and employees. Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct prohibits discrimination on the basis of a person’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other legally protected status.

Risk factors

As filed, 61,918 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

The following risks, which should be considered carefully with the information provided elsewhere in this Report, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Market and Economic Risks

Demand for homes we build may be adversely affected by a variety of macroeconomic factors beyond our control.

Demand for our homes is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, inflation, interest rates, changes in stock market valuations, consumer confidence, consumer income, housing demand, availability and cost of financing for homebuyers, availability and prices of new homes compared to those of previously occupied homes, and demographic trends. These factors can be significantly adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond our control. Currently, potential purchasers of our homes are being affected by inflation and continued high interest rates, tariffs and trade policy, all of which increase what homebuyers have to pay for new homes.

Negative publicity could hurt our reputation, which could cause our revenues or results of operations to decline.

Our business success is dependent upon the reputation of the Lennar brand and its association with quality and integrity. If we are unable to maintain the position of the Lennar brand, our business may be adversely affected, which could result in lower sales and earnings. Unfavorable media or investor and analyst reports related to our industry, company, brand, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance, or prospects may affect our stock price and the performance of our business, regardless of its accuracy or inaccuracy. We could be subject to knowingly false statements made for the purpose of impairing our reputation. These statements, even if totally untrue, can spread rapidly through the use of electronic communication, including social media outlets, newsletters, websites and other digital platforms. The harm may be immediate, without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction. Our success in maintaining and enhancing our brand depends on our ability to recognize, respond to and effectively manage negative publicity in this rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary from media outlets could damage our reputation and reduce the demand for our homes, which would adversely affect our business.

Our business strategies for our homebuilding and mortgage finance businesses may not increase our value.

Our strategies for our core homebuilding and mortgage finance businesses, and any related initiatives or actions, may not be successful. As a result of our strategy to become a land-lighter company, we continue to reduce the inventory of land that we own and we instead choose to control a greater portion of the land we expect to use through options or other contractual arrangements, including through Millrose and other land banking entities. We cannot provide assurance that this strategy, or other strategies we will follow, will increase our value. It is possible that the land-lighter or other strategies will reduce, rather than increase, the value and profitability of our core businesses.

The market for new homes is cyclical, and a continuing downturn in the homebuilding market could adversely affect our operations.

The residential homebuilding industry is sensitive to changes in economic conditions and other factors, such as the level of employment, consumer confidence, consumer income, product affordability, availability of financing, inflation, and interest rate levels. As a result, over the years, demand for new homes has been cyclical, with multi-year periods of high demand followed by multi-year periods of low demand. During fiscal 2025 and 2024, a number of our markets experienced significant softening that required us to make substantial price reductions in order to maintain a steady sales pace. It is possible that a continued market weakness could result in a further decline in demand for new homes with resulting price reductions which could require write downs in the carrying value of our land inventory and write offs of costs of land purchase options we decide not to exercise.

Inflation could adversely affect our profitability.

Weaker demand has precluded us from raising home prices enough to keep up with the rate of inflation, which has reduced our profit margins. In addition, in an inflationary environment, our cost of capital, labor and materials can increase and the purchasing power of our cash resources can decline, which have in the past and can in the future have an adverse impact on our business or financial results. Inflation may also accompany higher interest rates, which could adversely impact housing affordability by limiting potential buyers’ ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, thereby decreasing demand for our homes. We are taking steps that we hope will enable us to maintain acceptable operating margins in fiscal 2026. However, it is possible that those steps will not be successful, and that a combination of inflation and reduced demand for new homes driven by an increase in mortgage interest rates will continue to adversely affect our profitability.

Further increase in mortgage interest rates could reduce potential buyers’ ability or desire to obtain financing with which to buy homes.

Housing has been considerably impacted by the more than doubling of mortgage interest rates in 2022 and 2023, and small decreases in 2025. When interest rates increase, the cost of owning a new home increases, which usually reduces the number of potential buyers who can afford, or are willing, to purchase homes we build.

A decline in prices of new homes could require us to write down the carrying value of land we own and to write off option costs.

We are constantly acquiring options to purchase land, for use in our homebuilding operations. The value of land suitable for residential development fluctuates depending on local and national market conditions and other factors that affect demand for new homes. When demand for homes fell during the 2007-2010 recession, we were required to take significant write-downs of the carrying value of our land inventory and we elected not to exercise many options to purchase land, which required us to forfeit deposits and write-off pre-acquisition costs. If market conditions were to deteriorate significantly in the future, we could again be required to make significant write-downs of the carrying value of our land inventory and write-offs of costs relating to decisions not to exercise land purchase options. Because a significant portion of our land inventory is acquired through land purchase option arrangements], in the event of adverse changes in economic, market, or community conditions, we may elect not to exercise our land purchase options and we may not be able to satisfactorily renegotiate the purchase price of the land under option. Such actions could result in the forfeiture of some or all of any deposits, fees or investments paid or made in respect of such arrangements, including any cost overruns. The forfeiture of option deposits or inventory impairments may result in a loss that could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, stock performance, business operations and financial performance.

Current and threatened international conflicts could affect demand for the homes we build.

There currently are ongoing conflicts involving Ukraine and Israel. While we do not acquire essential components of the homes we build from either of those countries and while as of November 30, 2025 neither of these conflicts has had a material direct impact on our consolidated financial performance, those and other possible conflicts have already led and could lead to further market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. In addition, the closure of or limitation on the use of significant shipping routes as a result of these and related conflicts may result in interruptions to the supply of certain key raw materials that are used in products which we incorporate in the homes we build, increasing their cost. International conflicts also may lead potential homebuyers to decide not to invest in new homes at this time, which could have a material impact on our business operations and financial performance.

Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by public health issues and governmental actions.

The United States has experienced, and may experience in the future, outbreaks of contagious diseases that affect public health and public perception of health risk. The extent to which public health issues impact our results will depend on future developments, which cannot be predicted. New or evolving U.S. government regulations, guidance, executive orders or judicial decisions, including, but not limited to, as a result of public health concerns, could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. Further, if a contagious disease causes significant negative impacts to economic conditions or consumer confidence, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.

Operational Risks

Homebuilding, mortgage lending and home rentals are very competitive industries, and competitive conditions could adversely affect our business or financial results.

Homebuilding. The homebuilding industry is highly competitive. Homebuilders compete not only for homebuyers, but also for desirable land, financing, raw materials, skilled management and labor resources. We compete in each of our markets with numerous national, regional and local homebuilders. We also compete with sellers of existing homes, including foreclosed homes, and with rental housing. These competitive conditions can reduce the number of homes we deliver, negatively impact our selling prices, reduce our profit margins, and cause impairments in the value of our inventory or other assets. Competition can also affect our ability to acquire suitable land, raw materials and skilled labor at acceptable prices or other terms.

Financial Services. Our Financial Services residential and commercial lending businesses compete with other residential and commercial mortgage lenders, including national, regional and local banks and other financial institutions. Mortgage lenders who have greater access to low-cost funds, superior technologies or different lending criteria than we do may be able to offer more attractive financing to potential customers than we can.

Multifamily. Our multifamily rental business competes with other developers and operators of multifamily apartment communities at locations across the U.S. where we have investments in multifamily rental properties. We also compete in securing partners, equity capital and debt financing, and we compete for tenants with the large supply of already existing or newly built rental apartments, as well as with sellers and renters of single-family homes. These competitive conditions could negatively impact the ability of the funds and ventures we manage to find renters for the apartments they are building or the prices for which those apartments can be rented.

Single-Family Home Rentals. In each region where our funds offer single-family homes for rent, there will be competition for residents with other owners of residential real estate (whether for-rent or for-sale). In addition, in seeking investors to acquire interests in funds we form, we will be competing with a wide variety of investment opportunities, related both to real estate and to a variety of other investment products. Also, in seeking to acquire single-family homes that our funds can hold as rental properties, our funds will be competing with other persons who plan to hold them as rental properties as well as persons who might want to purchase those homes to live in them.

We may be subject to costs of warranty and liability claims in excess of the insurance coverage we can purchase.

As a homebuilder, we are subject in the ordinary course of our business to warranty and construction defect claims. We are also subject to claims for injuries that occur in the course of construction activities. We record warranty and other reserves for the homes we sell based on historical experience in our markets and our judgment of the qualitative risks associated with the types of homes we build. We have, and many of our subcontractors have, general liability, property, workers' compensation and other business insurance. These insurance policies are intended to protect us against risk of loss from claims, subject to self-insured retentions, deductibles and coverage limits. However, it is possible that this insurance will not be adequate to address all warranty, construction defect and liability claims to which we are subject.

Additionally, the cost of insurance has increased significantly in recent years. Also, the coverage offered and the availability of general liability insurance for construction defects is currently limited and policies that can be obtained often include exclusions based upon past losses those insurers suffered as a result of use of defective materials in homes we and many other homebuilders built. As a result, an increasing number of our subcontractors are unable to obtain insurance, and we have in many cases had to waive our customary insurance requirements, which increases our and our insurers’ exposure to claims and increases the possibility that our insurance will not be adequate to protect us against all the costs we incur. This increase in cost and limitation in coverage has also increased our self-insured retentions and decreased our total coverage. It is possible in the future that insurance would not be available at commercially reasonable rates. Even when insurance is available, the high cost of insurance has recently led us to self-insure against some risks.

Excessive health and safety incidents relating to our operations could be costly to us.

Land development and construction are inherently dangerous. While safety is a priority on our land development and construction sites, we cannot always control the way work is performed by subcontractors, including whether they comply with laws and regulations designed to maximize the safety of construction workers. Failures in health and safety performance on our worksites may result in penalties for non-compliance with relevant regulatory requirements and in our subcontractors having difficulty attracting the workers they need as well as in a negative impact to our reputation.

Products supplied to us and work done by subcontractors can expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business.

We rely on subcontractors to perform the actual construction of our homes, and in many cases, to select and obtain building materials. Despite our detailed specifications and quality control procedures, in some cases, subcontractors may use improper construction processes or defective materials. Defective products widely used by the homebuilding industry can result in the need to perform extensive repairs to large numbers of homes. The cost of complying with our warranty obligations may be significant if we are unable to recover the cost of repairs from subcontractors, materials suppliers and insurers.

We also can suffer damage to our reputation, and may be exposed to possible liability, if subcontractors fail to comply with applicable laws, including laws involving things that are not within our control. When we learn about possibly improper practices by subcontractors, we try to cause the subcontractors to discontinue them. However, we may not always be able to do that, and even when we can, it may not avoid claims against us relating to work the subcontractors already performed.

A reduced number of home sales would extend the time it takes us to recover land purchase and property development costs.

We incur many costs even before we begin to build homes in a community. Depending on the stage of development a land parcel is in when we acquire it (or when it is acquired by Millrose or another land banking entity), these may include costs of preparing land, finishing and entitling lots, installing roads, sewers, water systems and other utilities, and taxes and other costs related to ownership of the land on which we plan to build homes. If the rate at which we sell and deliver homes slows, or if we delay the opening of new home communities, we may incur increased pre-construction costs and it may take longer for us to recover those costs. In addition, our land bank option contracts often include provisions under which delays in land development and/or longer land takedown periods cause us to incur additional cost.

Increased interest rates could increase our cost of building homes.

Our business requires us to finance much of the cost of developing our residential communities. One of the ways we do this is with bank borrowings. At November 30, 2025, we had a $3.1 billion revolving credit facility with a group of banks (the "Credit Facility"), which had an accordion feature that could increase it to $3.5 billion. In May 2025, we entered into a new unsecured delayed draw term loan facility ("Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility") with total borrowing availability up to $1.7 billion. We also had warehouse borrowing facilities totaling $3.6 billion to support our residential and commercial mortgage lending activities. The interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility is at rates based on prevailing short-term rates from time to time. In 2022 and 2023, the Federal Reserve steadily raised benchmark interest rates and the Federal Reserve did not begin reducing benchmark interest rates until well into 2024. At November 30, 2025, we had no borrowings under our Credit Facility and outstanding borrowings of $1.7 billion under our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. However, if in the future we have a need for significant borrowings under our Credit Facility and interest rates continue to be high, that would increase the cost of the homes we build, which either would make those homes more expensive for homebuyers, which is likely to reduce demand, or would lower our operating margins, or both.

Increases in the rate of cancellations of home sale agreements could have an adverse effect on our business.

Our backlog reflects agreements of sale with our homebuyers for homes that have not yet been delivered. We usually have received a deposit from our homebuyer for each home reflected in our backlog, and generally we have the right to retain the deposit if the homebuyer does not complete the purchase. In some cases, however, a homebuyer may cancel the agreement of sale and receive a complete or partial refund of the deposit for reasons such as state and local laws, the homebuyer’s inability to obtain mortgage financing, the homebuyer's inability to sell their current home or our inability to complete and deliver the home within the specified time. With the increase in interest rates, we have experienced an increase in cancellation rates. If there is a weakening of the housing market, or if mortgage financing becomes less available or more expensive than it currently is or is expected to be more homebuyers may cancel their agreements of sale with us, which would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our success to a substantial extent depends on our ability to acquire land that is suitable for residential homebuilding and meets our land investment criteria.

There is strong competition among homebuilders for land that is suitable for residential development. The future availability of finished and partially finished developed lots and undeveloped land that meet our internal criteria depends on a number of factors outside our control, including land availability in general, competition with other homebuilders and land buyers for desirable property, inflation in land prices, zoning, allowable housing density, and other regulatory requirements. Should suitable lots or land become less available, the number of homes we could build and sell could be reduced, and the cost of land could be increased, perhaps substantially, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

We could be hurt if land banks are not able to raise investor funds needed to finance land acquisition to meet out demand.

In February 2025, we completed the spin-off Millrose, which serves as a source of recycled capital for land acquisitions. However, Millrose does not have the capacity to provide all the land acquisition funding we require, and Millrose’s policies will limit its acquisitions to land we expect to use within five years. As a result, we are reliant on additional land banks to acquire at least some of the land that Millrose will not or cannot acquire on our behalf. Most land banks are funds that use financial investor capital to finance land acquisitions. If returns to land bank investors are not sufficient to attract investor funds and land banks are not able to identify alternative sources of funding, we would no longer have access to financing of land acquisitions by land banks. This could significantly impair our ability to carry out our strategy of reducing our inventory of owned land.

We could be hurt by refusals of owners of land to honor options or contracts to sell land to us.

We have made a strategic decision to increase the portion of our potential land inventory that we control through options or contracts and reduce the land that we own. This substantially reduces our investment in land. However, if landowners who are parties to such options or contracts, including land banks, refuse to honor such arrangements, we could lose access to land at the time we want to use it in our homebuilding activities. Any loss of access to our homesites could materially impact both our revenues and our reputation as a reliable homebuilder.

In connection with the Millrose Spin-Off, we transferred a significant portion of our inventory of undeveloped and partially developed land, as well as some finished homesites, to Millrose, which is an independent, externally managed, publicly traded company. In addition, we entered into a number of agreements with Millrose, pursuant to which Millrose provides Lennar with land acquisition and horizontal development financing solutions. We rely on Millrose to satisfy its performance and payment obligations under these agreements for a substantial portion of our homesite acquisition and development. If Millrose were unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, including its indemnification obligations, we could incur operational difficulties and/or losses. For example, if Millrose were to refuse to honor option exercises, despite requirements that it do so, that could delay or prevent us from building and delivering homes, including while we seek legal enforcement. Even if we were to succeed in any legal proceedings against Millrose, there is no guarantee that a court would compel Millrose to deliver the homesites to us. Monetary damages may not be sufficient for us to fully recover our losses, particularly if we are not able to satisfy our obligations with respect to contracts with homebuyers.

Additionally, if in the future we are unable to identify or to develop and maintain the necessary relationships with suitable land banks, including Millrose, we will not be able to fully implement our land-light business strategy.

We may lose access to the land or homesites held by land banks in the event of lender foreclosures or bankruptcy proceedings.

A significant portion of the land inventory that we control is held by land banks, including the portion of our inventory that was transferred to Millrose in connection with the Millrose Spin-Off. In fact, the majority of our land banking arrangements are concentrated in a limited number of land banks, including Millrose, which exposes our business to risks if one of our principal land banks were to face financial difficulties. Further, our land banks may enter into various “secured financing arrangements,” which may include but are not limited to secured or collateralized loans, or any other transactions where assets may be pledged or used as collateral to secure the financing instrument. In connection with these arrangements, the land banks would have the right to pledge or use as collateral the inventory of land assets we control through option contracts. If a land bank were to default under these arrangements or become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, the land bank may forfeit its assets to any and all creditors or creditors may reject our purchase options in bankruptcy. If we were unable to successfully protect our purchase options, buy the applicable assets directly from the lenders or otherwise retain access to these assets, that could delay or prevent us from building and delivering homes and cause us significant harm.

The loss of the services of members of our senior management or a significant number of our operating employees could negatively affect our business.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the performance and active participation of our senior management, many of whom have been with us for 20 or more years. If we were to lose members of our senior management, we might not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis and our operations could be negatively affected. Also, the loss of a significant number of key operating employees and our inability to hire qualified replacements could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Natural disasters and severe weather conditions could delay deliveries and increase costs of new homes in affected areas, which could harm our sales and results of operations.

Many of our homebuilding operations are conducted in areas that are subject to natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, floods, wildfires and severe weather. The occurrence of natural disasters or severe weather conditions can delay new home deliveries, increase costs by damaging inventories and lead to shortages of labor and materials in areas affected by the disasters, and can negatively impact the demand for new homes in affected areas. Our insurance may not cover business interruptions or losses resulting from these events and our results of operations could be adversely affected by these events. Additionally, natural disasters and severe weather conditions may increase the cost of homeowner's insurance or create difficulties in obtaining homeowners’ insurance at all, which could reduce the number of potential buyers who can afford, or are willing, to purchase homes we build in affected areas. For example, the incidence of large wildfires in California has substantially increased in recent years and the risk of future wildfires is expected to increase. The housing markets in areas affected by California’s recent wildfires have been adversely affected by increased insurance costs and difficulties in obtaining homeowners’ insurance, which was exacerbated by the January 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles.

If our homebuyers are not able to obtain suitable financing, that would reduce demand for our homes and our home sales revenues.

Most purchasers of our homes obtain mortgage loans to finance a substantial portion of the purchase price of the homes they purchase. While the majority of our homebuyers obtain their mortgage financing from our Financial Services segment, others obtain mortgage financing from banks and other independent lenders. Disruptions in the mortgage markets or increased government regulation could adversely affect the ability of potential homebuyers to obtain financing for home purchases, making it difficult for them to purchase our homes. Among other things, changes made by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and FHA/VA in recent years to sponsored mortgage programs, as well as changes made in recent years by private mortgage insurance companies, have reduced the ability of a number of potential homebuyers to qualify for mortgages. These include higher income requirements, larger required down payments, increased reserves and higher required credit scores. In addition, there has been uncertainty regarding the future of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, including proposals that they reduce or terminate their role as the principal sources of liquidity in the secondary market for mortgage loans. If Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae were to curtail their secondary market mortgage loan purchases, it is not clear how the liquidity they provide would be replaced. There is a substantial possibility that substituting an alternate source of liquidity would increase mortgage interest rates, which would increase the buyers' effective costs of paying for the homes we sell, and therefore could reduce demand for our homes and adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in tax laws could increase the cost of owning a home.

Currently, there are significant income tax benefits from owning a home, including deductibility of all or some interest on mortgage loans incurred to finance home purchases and the deductibility of property taxes, subject to certain limits. If federal or state tax laws are changed to eliminate or reduce any of these income tax benefits or if personal income or property tax rates were to increase, the after-tax cost of homeownership could measurably increase and diminish consumer interest in buying a home, with a resulting adverse effect on our revenues.

Our Financial Services segment can be adversely affected by reduced demand for our homes.

100% of the residential mortgage loans made by our Financial Services segment in 2025 were made to buyers of homes we built. Therefore, a decrease in the demand for our homes or an increase in the mortgage financing obtained by homebuyers from lenders other than our Financial Services segment would adversely affect the revenues of this aspect of our business.

If our ability to sell residential mortgages into the secondary market is impaired, that could significantly reduce our ability to sell homes unless we are willing to become a long-term investor in loans we originate.

Substantially all of the residential mortgage loans we originate are sold within a short period in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing-released, non-recourse basis. If we became unable to sell residential mortgage loans into the secondary mortgage market or directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, we would have to either curtail our origination of residential mortgage loans, which among other things, could significantly reduce our ability to sell homes, or commit our own funds to long-term investments in mortgage loans, which, in addition to requiring us to deploy substantial amounts of our own funds, could delay the time when we recognize revenues from home sales on our statements of operations.

We may be liable for certain limited representations and warranties we make in connection with the sale of loans.

While substantially all of the residential mortgage loans we originate are sold within a short period in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing-released, non-recourse basis, we remain responsible for certain industry standard limited representations and warranties we make in connection with such sales. Mortgage investors sometimes seek to have us buy back mortgage loans or compensate them for losses incurred on mortgage loans that we have sold based on claims that we breached our limited representations and warranties. In addition, when LMF Commercial sells loans to securitization trusts or other purchasers, it gives limited industry standard representations and warranties about the loans, which, if incorrect, may require it to repurchase the loans, replace them with substitute loans or indemnify persons for losses or expenses incurred as a result of breaches of representations and warranties. If we have significant liabilities with respect to such claims, it could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, and possibly our financial condition.

Financing Risks

Failure to comply with the covenants and conditions imposed by our lenders could restrict future borrowing or cause our debt to become immediately due and payable.

The agreement governing our Credit Facility (the "Credit Agreement") makes it a default if we fail to pay principal or interest when it is due (subject, in some instances, to grace periods) or to comply with various covenants, including covenants regarding financial ratios. In addition, our Financial Services residential mortgage companies and our LMF Commercial mortgage lending group have warehouse facilities to finance their mortgage lending. If we default under the Credit Agreement or our warehouse facilities, the lenders will have the right to terminate their commitments to lend and to require immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings. This could reduce our available funds at a time when we are having difficulty generating all the funds we need from our operations, in the capital markets or otherwise, and restrict our ability to obtain financing in the future. In addition, if we default under the Credit Agreement or our warehouse facilities, it could cause the amounts outstanding under our senior notes to become immediately due and payable, which would seriously adversely impact our consolidated financial condition.

We have a substantial level of indebtedness, which may have an adverse effect on our business or limit our ability to take advantage of business, strategic or financing opportunities.

As of November 30, 2025, we had outstanding senior notes which we had sold into the capital markets over a number of years totaling $2.1 billion. The indentures governing our senior notes do not restrict our incurrence of future secured or unsecured debt, and the agreement governing our Credit Facility allows us to incur a substantial amount of future unsecured debt. We increased our outstanding senior notes during fiscal 2025 by $200 million. Sales of senior debt into the capital markets was historically a significant source of funding for our operations and acquisitions. Our level of indebtedness exposes us to a number of risks, including:

  • We may be more vulnerable to volatility within the capital market, general adverse economic and homebuilding industry conditions;
  • We may have to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing indebtedness as a result of the increase in market interest rates, thereby reducing our earnings and cash flows;
  • We may find it difficult, or may be unable, to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements that would be in our best long-term interests;
  • We may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, reducing the cash flow available to fund operations and investments and reducing the amount we can return to our stockholders;
  • We may have reduced flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses or the industries in which they are conducted;
  • We may have a competitive disadvantage relative to other companies in our industry, if any, that are less leveraged; and
  • We may be required to sell debt or equity securities or sell some of our core assets, possibly on unfavorable terms, in order to meet debt payment obligations.

Our access to capital and our ability to obtain additional financing could be affected if there was a downgrade of our credit ratings.

Our corporate credit rating and ratings of our senior notes affect, among other things, our ability to access new capital, especially debt, and the costs of that new capital. Historically, a substantial portion of our access to capital has been through the issuance of senior notes, of which we have approximately $2.1 billion outstanding, net of debt issuance costs, as of November 30, 2025. Among other things, we have often relied on proceeds of debt issuances to pay the principal of existing senior notes when they mature. Negative changes in the ratings of our senior notes could make it difficult for us to sell senior notes in the future and could result in more stringent covenants and higher interest rates with regard to new senior notes we issue.

During fiscal 2026, we will have to replace or renew a total of $3.0 billion of warehouse lines used by Financial Services, including LMF Commercial, as they mature. We expect these facilities to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. If we are unable to renew or replace these facilities on favorable terms or at all when they mature, that could seriously impede the activities of our Financial Services segment, which would have an impact on our financial results.

An inability to obtain performance bonds or post letters of credit could adversely affect our operations.

We often are required to provide surety bonds to secure our performance of obligations under construction contracts, development agreements and other arrangements. At November 30, 2025, we had outstanding surety bonds of $5.6 billion including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of our joint ventures) and financial surety bonds. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities to which they relate are completed. Our ability to obtain surety bonds primarily depends upon our credit rating, financial condition, past performance and similar factors, the capacity of the surety market and the underwriting practices of surety bond issuers. Our ability to obtain surety bonds also can be impacted by the unwillingness of insurance companies to issue performance bonds for construction and development activities. If we were unable to obtain surety bonds when required, our operations could be adversely affected.

We conduct some of our operations through joint ventures with independent third parties and we can be adversely impacted by our joint venture partners' failures to fulfill their obligations or decisions to act contrary to our wishes.

In our Homebuilding and Multifamily segments, we participate in joint ventures in order to help us acquire attractive land positions, to manage our risk profile and to leverage our capital base. In certain circumstances, joint venture participants, including us, are required to provide guarantees of obligations relating to the joint ventures, such as completion and environmental guarantees. If a joint venture partner does not perform its obligations, we may be required to bear more than our proportional share of the cost of fulfilling the joint venture’s obligations. For example, in connection with our Multifamily business, and its joint ventures, we and the other venture participants have guaranteed obligations to complete construction of multifamily residential buildings at agreed-upon costs, which could make us and the other venture participants responsible for cost over-runs. Although all the participants in a venture are normally responsible for sharing the costs of fulfilling obligations of that type, if some of the venture participants are unable or unwilling to meet their share of the obligations, we may be held responsible for some or all of the defaulted payments. In addition, because we do not have a controlling interest in most of the joint ventures in which we participate, we may not be able to cause joint ventures to sell assets, return invested capital or take other actions when such actions might be in our best interest.

Several of the joint ventures in which we participate will in the relatively near future be required to repay, refinance, renegotiate or extend their borrowings. If any of those joint ventures are unable to do this, we could be required to provide at least a portion of the funds the joint ventures need to be able to repay the borrowings and to finance the activities for which they were incurred, which could adversely impact our financial position.

Regulatory Risks

Changes in U.S. trade policies and retaliatory responses from other countries may substantially increase the costs or limit supplies of building materials and products used in our homes.

During the past several years, the U.S. government has imposed new, or increased existing, tariffs on an array of imported materials and products that are used in the homes we build, including lumber, steel, aluminum, solar panels and washing machines, which increases the costs of those items. The tariffs that have been imposed or increased have impacted our construction costs and caused disruptions in our supply chains. In addition, President Trump has expressed a desire to impose substantial new or increased tariffs. Any widespread imposition of new or increased tariffs could increase the cost of, and reduce the demand for, homes we build and any cost increases will either require us to increase prices or negatively impact our profit margins. New or increased tariffs could also negatively affect U.S. national or regional economies, which could affect the demand for the homes we build.

We may be adversely impacted by legal and regulatory changes.

We are subject with regard to almost all of our activities to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations. Laws and regulations, and policies under or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, change frequently. Our businesses could be adversely affected by changes in laws, regulations, policies or interpretations or by our inability to comply with them without making significant changes in our businesses.

Governmental regulations regarding land use and environmental matters could increase the cost and limit the availability of our development and homebuilding projects and adversely affect our business or financial results.

We are subject to extensive and complex laws and regulations that affect land development, homebuilding and apartment development processes, including laws and regulations related to zoning, permitted land uses, levels of density, building design, elevation of properties, water and waste disposal and use of open spaces. These regulations often provide broad discretion to the administering governmental authorities as to the conditions that must be met prior to development or construction being approved, if they are approved at all. We are also subject to determinations by governmental authorities as to the adequacy of water or sewage facilities, roads and other local services with regard to particular residential communities. New housing developments may also be subject to various assessments for schools, parks, streets and other public improvements. In addition, in many markets government authorities have implemented no growth or growth control initiatives. Any of these can limit, delay, or increase the costs of land development or home construction. Government restrictions, standards, or regulations intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or potential climate change impacts are likely to result in restrictions on land development in certain areas and may increase energy, transportation, or raw material costs, which could reduce our profit margins and adversely affect our results of operations. This is a particular concern in the western United States, where some of the most extensive and stringent environmental laws and residential building construction standards in the country have been enacted, and where we have substantial homebuilding and multifamily operations.

We are also subject to a variety of local, state and federal laws and regulations concerning protection of the environment. In some of the markets where we operate, we are required by law to pay environmental impact fees, use energy-saving construction materials and give commitments to municipalities to provide infrastructure such as roads and sewage systems. We generally are required to obtain permits, entitlements and approvals from local authorities to commence and carry out residential development or home construction. These permits, entitlements and approvals sometimes are opposed or challenged by local governments, environmental advocacy groups, neighboring property owners or other possibly interested parties, adding delays, costs and risks of non-approval to the process. Violations of environmental laws and regulations can result in injunctions, civil penalties, remediation expenses, and other costs. In addition, some environmental laws impose strict liability, which means that we may be held liable for unlawful environmental conditions on property we own which we did not create.

We are also subject to laws and regulations related to workers' health and safety, and there are efforts to subject homebuilders like us to other labor-related laws or rules, some of which may make us responsible for things done by our subcontractors over which we have little or no control.

In addition, our residential mortgage subsidiary is subject to various state and federal statutes, rules and regulations, including those that relate to lending operations and other areas of mortgage origination and loan servicing. The impact of those statutes, rules and regulations can increase our homebuyers’ costs of financing, and our cost of doing business, as well as restricting our homebuyers’ access to some types of loans.

Our obligation to comply with the laws and regulations under which we operate, and our need to ensure that our associates, subcontractors and other agents comply with these laws and regulations, could result in delays in construction and land development, cause us to incur substantial costs and prohibit or restrict land development and homebuilding activity in certain areas in which we operate. Budget reductions by state and local governmental agencies may increase the time it takes to obtain required approvals and therefore may aggravate the delays we encounter. Additionally, U.S. federal government shutdowns have in the past, and may in the future, delay the time it takes to obtain required approvals. Government agencies also routinely initiate audits, reviews or investigations of our business practices to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, which can cause us to incur costs or create other disruptions in our businesses that can be significant.

We can be injured by improper acts of persons over whom we do not have control.

Although we expect all of our associates, officers and directors to comply at all times with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, there may be instances in which subcontractors or others through whom we do business engage in practices that do not comply with applicable laws, regulations or governmental guidelines. When we learn of practices that do not comply with applicable laws or regulations, including practices relating to homes, buildings or multifamily rental properties we build or finance, we move actively to stop the non-complying practices as soon as possible and we have taken disciplinary action with regard to associates of ours who were aware of non-complying practices and did not take steps to address them, including in some instances terminating their employment. However, regardless of the steps we take after we learn of practices that do not comply with applicable laws or regulations, we can in certain cases be subject to fines or other governmental penalties, and our reputation can be injured, due to the practices having taken place.

We could be held responsible for obligations of, and labor law violations by, our subcontractors and other contract parties.

The homes we sell are built by employees of subcontractors and other contract parties. We do not have the ability to control what these contract parties pay their employees or the work rules they impose on their employees. However, various governmental agencies have sought, and in the future may seek, to hold contract parties like us responsible for violations of wage and hour laws, workers’ compensation and other work-related laws by firms whose employees are performing contracted for services. While the future of joint employer liability remains uncertain, if we were deemed to be a joint employer of our subcontractors’ employees, we could become responsible for collective bargaining obligations of, and labor law violations by, our subcontractors. Governmental rulings that make us responsible for labor practices by our subcontractors could create substantial exposures for us in situations that are not within our control.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Stock

We have a stockholder who can exercise significant influence over matters that are brought to a vote of our stockholders.

Stuart Miller, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, through family and personal holdings of Class B, and to a lesser extent Class A, common stock, has the power to cast approximately 42% of the votes that can be cast by the holders of all our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock combined. This gives Mr. Miller substantial influence regarding the election of our directors and the approval of most other matters that are presented to our stockholders. Mr. Miller's voting power might discourage someone from making a significant equity investment in us, even if we needed the investment to meet our obligations or to operate our business. Also, because of his voting power, Mr. Miller may be able to cause our stockholders to approve actions that are contrary to many of our other stockholders' desires.

Our Class B common stock is less liquid than, and has traded at a price substantially lower than that of, our Class A common stock.

The only significant difference between our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock is that the Class B common stock entitles the holders to ten votes per share, while the Class A common stock entitles holders to only one vote per share. However, for many years, the trading price of the Class B common stock on the NYSE has been substantially lower than the NYSE trading price of our Class A common stock. We believe this is because only a relatively small number of shares of Class B common stock are available for trading, which reduces the liquidity of the market for our Class B common stock to a point where many large investors are reluctant to invest in it. The limited liquidity could make it difficult for a holder of even a relatively small number of shares of our Class B common stock to dispose of the stock without materially reducing the trading price of the Class B common stock.

The trading price for our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock may continue to be volatile.

The trading price of our stock has at times experienced significant volatility and may continue to be volatile. In addition to the factors discussed in this report, the trading prices of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock have fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate widely, in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, among others, developments in our industry, the activities of our peers and changes in broader economic and political conditions and policies in the United States and around the world. These broad market and industry factors could harm the market price of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Other Risks

We have substantial investments in real estate-related funds and businesses in which we are a minority investor.

We have investments in funds and other investment vehicles managed by Rialto Capital Management, a company we sold in November 2018, investments in a number of companies that are applying technology to various aspects of building and marketing homes and real estate related aspects of the financial services industry, and investments in Five Point Holdings, LLC, a publicly traded company that has ownership interests in, and is managing the development of, three large multi-use master planned communities in California. As a minority investor, we have little or no influence over decisions made with regard to these funds and businesses. However, we could suffer significant losses of our investments as a result of decisions that are made by the funds and businesses.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected if legal claims against us are not resolved in our favor.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to legal claims by homebuyers, borrowers against whom we have instituted foreclosure proceedings, persons with whom we have land purchase contracts and a variety of other claimants. We establish reserves against legal claims and we believe that, in general, the outcome of legal claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. However, if the amounts we are required to pay as a result of claims against us substantially exceed the sums anticipated by our reserves, the need to pay those amounts could have an adverse effect on our results of operations for the periods when we are required to make or accrue the payments.

We could be subject to unexpected tax liabilities.

We have provisions and reserves for taxes that we believe are sufficient to reflect our future tax obligations. However, it is possible that a taxing authority will successfully assert that we owe taxes that we do not believe that we owe and for which we do not have a provision or reserves. If the additional taxes are material, they could adversely affect our income tax provision and, consequently, our operating results and financial condition, in the period in which we determine we need an additional provision or reserves.

Information technology failures and data security breaches could harm our business.

We rely extensively on information technology ("IT") systems, including Internet sites, data hosting facilities and other hardware and software platforms, some of which are hosted by third parties, to assist in conducting our businesses. These IT systems, like those used by most companies, may be vulnerable to a variety of disruptions, including, but not limited to, those caused by natural disasters, telecommunications failures, hackers, and other security issues. Moreover, these IT systems, like those of most companies, are subject to the possibility of computer viruses or other malicious codes, and to security breaches, cyber incidents, ransomware attacks or phishing-attacks. Cyber intrusion efforts are becoming increasingly frequent and sophisticated, including as a result of the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), and it is possible that any controls we or third parties have installed could at some time be breached in a material respect. In addition, we are in the early stages of integrating AI into our business to support our business operations and customer-facing systems. Our development and adoption of AI and other new technologies may present new technological threats, vulnerabilities and uncertainties, which may expose us to legal, reputational and financial harm. While, to date, we have not had a cybersecurity disruption, failure, breach or attack that had a material impact on our business or results of operations, if we were to be subject to a material successful cyber-incident, that could result in remediation or service restoration costs, increased cyber protection costs, lost revenues or loss of customers, litigation or regulatory actions by governmental authorities, increased insurance premiums, reputational damage and damage to our competitiveness, our stock price and our long-term stockholder value. We may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damages caused by information technology failures or security breaches (including through the provision of insurance).

Failure to maintain the security of personally identifiable information could adversely affect us.

In connection with our business we and the third parties we work with collect and retain personally identifiable information (e.g., information regarding our customers, suppliers and employees), and our customers, suppliers and employees have an expectation that we will adequately protect that information. The U.S. regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding. A significant theft, loss or fraudulent use of the personally identifiable information we or third parties maintain, or of our data, by cyber-criminals or otherwise could adversely impact our reputation and could result in significant costs, fines and litigation. We may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damages caused by the failure to satisfy privacy and data protection laws and regulations in the future as legal requirements continue to increase, including through the provision of insurance

International activities subject us to risks inherent in international operations.

We historically have sold significant numbers of homes in communities in the United States to people who are not residents of the United States, and some large investors in our multifamily development and single-family rental funds and ventures are located outside the United States. Dealings with people or institutions located outside the United States create risks related to currencies and to political affairs in various countries. In some instances, the U.S government may review the possible effects of investments by non-U.S. entities on U.S. national security. We must also be careful to comply with U.S. anti-corruption laws. Also, we have to be aware of tax issues involved in doing business outside the United States or with people who are not residents of the United States, both under U.S. tax laws and under the tax laws of the countries in which we do business or in which the non-residents reside.

We experience variability in our operating results on a quarterly basis.

Our homebuilding business is seasonal in nature and generally reflects higher levels of new home order activity in our second fiscal quarter and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, a variety of factors can change seasonal patterns. Our quarterly results of operations may continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including, among others, seasonal homebuying patterns, the timing of home closings and land sales and weather-related problems.

We could suffer significant losses if there are reductions in the market value of our investments in publicly traded companies.

We have made investments in companies that are engaged in applying technology to improve the homebuilding industry and real estate related aspects of the financial services industry. Our investments in publicly traded shares of common stock are carried on our books at their fair values, which will change depending on the value of the Company’s shareholdings on the last day of each quarter. As a result, our net earnings could be significantly affected by mark-to-market gains or losses on our investments.

Changes in global or regional environmental conditions and governmental actions in response to such changes may adversely affect us by increasing the costs of or restricting our planned or future growth activities.

There is growing concern from many members of the scientific community and the general public that an increase in global average temperatures due to emissions of greenhouse gases and other human activities have caused, or will cause, significant changes in weather patterns and increase the frequency and severity of natural disasters. Government mandates, standards or regulations intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or projected climate change impacts have resulted, and are likely to continue to result, in restrictions on land development in certain areas and increased energy, transportation and raw material costs. We have tried to reduce the effect of the homes we build on the climate by installing solar power systems and energy saving devices in many of those homes. Nonetheless, governmental requirements directed at reducing effects on climate could cause us to incur expenses that we cannot recover or that will require us to increase the price of homes we sell to the point that it affects demand for those homes.

General Risk Factors

The risk factors described above are those that we think may be material with regard to an investment in us that are not applicable generally to all business enterprises. However, we are subject to the many risks that affect all or most business enterprises in the United States or internationally, and our business or financial condition could be materially affected by those risks.

Risk Management and Strategy

We rely extensively on information technology (“IT”) systems, including Internet sites, data hosting facilities and other hardware and software platforms, some of which are hosted by third parties, to assist in conducting our businesses. These systems, like those used by most companies, may be vulnerable to a variety of disruptions, including, but not limited to, those caused by natural disasters, telecommunications failures, hackers, and other security issues. Moreover, these IT systems, like those used by most companies, are subject to the possibility of computer viruses or other malicious codes, and to security breaches, cyber incidents, ransomware attack or phishing-attacks. Cybersecurity is an integral part of risk management at our Company, and we maintain a comprehensive process for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, which is part of our overall risk management system and processes.

We have installed and continually upgrade an array of protections against cyber-intrusions. Our cybersecurity risk management processes are based upon the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, as well as various other regulatory requirements and industry-specific standards. We implement risk-based controls to protect our information, the information of our customers, suppliers, and other third parties, our information systems, our business operations, and our products and related services. These controls include multifactor authentication on all critical systems, firewalls, encryption, anti-virus protections, intrusion detection and prevention systems and identity management systems. We provide mandatory cybersecurity awareness training of threats to associates at least annually and routinely deploy simulated phishing tests to increase security awareness.

Our IT team regularly tests our controls through penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, internal compliance assessments, threat-hunting operations and attack simulation.

Additionally, in connection with our cybersecurity risk management processes, from time to time, we engage independent third parties to assess our cybersecurity program and to assist us with defining our cybersecurity strategy, uplifting our processes and aligning our objectives. Outside counsel has also advised the Board about legal obligations in managing cybersecurity issues and risks.

We maintain a cybersecurity incident response plan, which provides a framework for handling cybersecurity incidents based on, among other factors, the potential severity of the incident and facilitates cross-functional coordination across the Company. We also conduct “tabletop” exercises, including exercises facilitated by third parties, during which we simulate cybersecurity incidents to ensure that we are prepared to respond to such an incident and to highlight any areas for potential improvement in our cybersecurity incident response plan. These exercises are conducted at both the technical level and senior management level and have included participation by members of our Board.

Our cybersecurity risk management processes extend to the oversight and identification of threats associated with our use of third-party service providers, including through due diligence of such providers’ cybersecurity practices, contractual obligations to operate their IT systems in accordance with certain cybersecurity standards and ongoing monitoring.

Our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks and any future material incidents. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on risks from cybersecurity threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition.

Governance

Management

In May 2025, following the retirement of our former Chief Technology Officer, we appointed an interim Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”). Our CTO has over 10 years of experience in managing teams of information technology specialists and assessing cybersecurity threats.

Our CTO is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. We have also established a cross-functional Cyber Steering Committee, which includes our CTO, Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), General Counsel, certain business leaders on a rotating basis and representatives of human resources and communications. The CISO, supported by inputs from the CTO team leads, delivers quarterly updates to the Committee on key risks and overall security program posture, as well as monthly strategic updates to the CTO on high visibility and key action items. Our CTO regularly reports to our Board and the Audit Committee.

Board of Directors

Our Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of cybersecurity risks and receives a cybersecurity report from our CTO at least quarterly, and more often as needed, including in the event of a significant cybersecurity incident. The report includes information regarding the nature of threats, defense and detection capabilities, incident response plans and associate training activities. Our Board retains responsibility for the oversight of our overall risk management systems and processes and is briefed our CTO on cybersecurity risks on a quarterly basis.

Properties

As filed, 886 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

We maintain our corporate headquarters in an office building in Miami, Florida. In December 2023, we purchased this office building, in which we had previously leased office space for our corporate headquarters. This building contains approximately 213,200 square feet of office space, of which we lease approximately 53,000 square feet of unused office space to other tenants. Our homebuilding, financial services and multifamily offices are located in the markets where we conduct business, primarily in leased spaces. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current and planned levels of operation.

Because of the nature of our homebuilding operations, we hold significant amounts of property as inventory in connection with our homebuilding business. We discuss these properties in the discussion of our homebuilding operations in Items 1 and 7 of this Report.

As filed, 2,031 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

We are party to various claims and lawsuits relating to homes we sold which arise in the ordinary course of business, but we do not consider the volume of our claims and lawsuits unusual given the number of homes we deliver and the fact that the lawsuits often relate to homes delivered several years before the lawsuits are commenced. Although the specific allegations in the lawsuits differ, they most commonly involve claims that we failed to construct homes in particular communities in accordance with plans and specifications or applicable construction codes and seek reimbursement for sums allegedly needed to remedy the alleged deficiencies, assert contract issues or relate to personal injuries. Lawsuits of these types are common within the homebuilding industry. We are a plaintiff in a number of cases in which we seek contribution from our subcontractors for home repair costs. The costs incurred by us in construction defect lawsuits may be offset by warranty reserves, our third-party insurers, subcontractor insurers or indemnity contributions from subcontractors. From time to time, we are also a party to lawsuits involving purchases and sales of real property. These lawsuits often include claims regarding representations and warranties made in connection with the transfer of the property and disputes regarding the obligation to purchase or sell the property. From time-to-time, we also receive notices from environmental agencies or other regulators regarding alleged violations of environmental or other laws. We typically settle all of the foregoing matters before they reach litigation for amounts that are not material to us.

We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims or lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position. However, the financial effect of litigation concerning purchases and sales of property may depend upon the value of the subject property, which may have changed from the time the agreement for purchase or sale was entered into.

Outlook

Lennar’s fourth quarter and year-end 2025 results reflect what is and continues to be a difficult housing market. However, while our margin has been under pressure as we focus on bringing affordable housing to an affordability-constrained consumer base, the underlying demand is still strong, while supply is short. During the past three years of difficult market conditions, we have maintained volume, grown our market share and re-engineered our operating platform for a better and more efficient future when the market normalizes.

We began the quarter with the expectation that declining interest rates were the start of a market recovery. While mortgage rates drifted marginally lower in the fourth quarter, the customer response remained tepid, suggesting a combination of poor affordability and diminished consumer confidence continued to limit demand. The threat of a government shutdown and ultimate actual shutdown in October and November further eroded already weak consumer confidence. While traffic was consistent, customers were both hesitant and limited by what they could afford to purchase. Clearly, inflation-driven affordability concerns rose to the center of the national conversation, shaping headlines and policy debates across the country. Cost inflation has clearly had a significant impact on the lifestyle of the average American family. At the same time, concerns about job security have become increasingly prominent as advancements in modern technology and artificial intelligence raise important questions about the future of employment for the American workforce.

On a positive note, the federal government has intensified its focus on the national housing crisis, with a strong likelihood of taking decisive action to enhance affordability. Although the specifics of potential programs remain to be seen, it is clear that significant attention is being devoted to developing impactful initiatives, while avoiding unintended negative consequences. This is the first time in decades that the federal government is actively recognizing the vital role that housing plays, not only in the broader national economy, but also in the well-being of American families.

We know that margins will remain under pressure in the first quarter of 2026 and sales and closings will be seasonally light. However, we have a lower cost structure, efficient product offerings and a strong market position that we expect to accommodate pent-up demand as rates moderate and confidence ultimately returns. Our strategy has positioned us for strong cash flow, higher returns on equity and capital, and stronger bottom line growth in the future. Meanwhile, we will remain focused on volume and even-flow production.

Margins are usually lowest during the first quarter of a fiscal year, and we expect our margins in the first quarter of 2026 will be between 15% and 16%, depending on market conditions. We expect that in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we will sell between 18,000 and 19,000 homes and deliver between 17,000 and 18,000 homes at an average sales price of between $365,000 and $375,000. We expect to deliver approximately 85,000 homes in the full 2026 fiscal year.

As we have driven growth, production and volume, we have created efficiencies and technology that will make us a better company in the future. We have materially reduced our inventory, our construction costs, and our cycle times, and we have increased, and will continue to increase, our inventory turn. We are determined to build more with less capital deployed so that as margins begin to grow, returns on capital and equity will grow faster.

We are also very enthusiastic about our technology initiatives. They have made us, and are continuing to make us, faster and better in the way that we engage with our customers. We are trying to be the best manufacturing model that we can be. The programs that we have in place are helping us absorb the price reductions we are required to give to maintain desired volume levels. They offer us the likelihood of substantially increasing profit levels when market conditions return to normal.

As previously announced, Lennar Corporation completed our acquisition of Rausch Coleman Homes ("Rausch") in February 2025. Prior year information includes only stand-alone data for Lennar Corporation for the year ended November 30, 2024.

2025 versus 2024

Revenues from home sales decreased 5% in the year ended November 30, 2025 to $32.1 billion from $33.8 billion in the year ended November 30, 2024. Revenues were lower primarily due to a 8% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered, partially offset by a 3% increase in the number of home deliveries. New home deliveries increased to 82,583 homes in the year ended November 30, 2025 from 80,210 homes in the year ended November 30, 2024. The average sales price of homes delivered was $391,000 in the year ended November 30, 2025, compared to $423,000 in the year ended November 30, 2024. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the year ended November 30, 2025 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 $5.7 billion, or 17.7%, in the year ended November 30, 2025, compared to $7.5 billion, or 22.3%, in the year ended November 30, 2024. During the year ended November 30, 2025, gross margins decreased primarily due to a lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, which were partially offset by a decrease in construction costs, reflecting our continued focus on cost-saving initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.7 billion in the year ended November 30, 2025, compared to $2.5 billion in the year ended November 30, 2024. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.3% in the year ended November 30, 2025, from 7.3% in the year ended November 30, 2024, primarily due to less leverage as a result of lower revenues and an increase in marketing and selling expenses.

During the years ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, our homebuilding operating earnings included $54.2 million and $164.8 million of interest income, respectively. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower cash balances year over year.

Operating earnings for our Financial Services segment were $609.9 million in the year ended November 30, 2025, compared to operating earnings of $574.2 million in the year ended November 30, 2024. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to higher profit per locked loan in the mortgage business.

Operating loss for the Multifamily segment was $75.0 million in the year ended November 30, 2025, compared to operating earnings of $43.0 million in the year ended November 30, 2024. The operating earnings for the year ended November 30, 2024, included a $179.0 million one-time net gain from the sale of assets in our LMV Fund I, partially offset by a one-time $90.0 million write-down of noncore assets as we focus on monetizing these assets.

Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $19.1 million in the year ended November 30, 2025, compared to an operating loss of $46.9 million in the year ended November 30, 2024. The Lennar Other operating loss for the year ended November 30, 2025 was primarily related to operating losses from certain strategic investments, partially offset by mark-to-market gains of $130.2 million on our technology investments. The Lennar Other operating loss for the year ended November 30, 2024 was primarily related to operating losses from certain strategic investments, partially offset by $25.2 million of mark-to-market gains on our technology companies and a $46.5 million one-time gain on the sale of a technology investment.

In November, we completed the Millrose Exchange Offer in a non-cash transaction, accepting 8,049,594 shares of Lennar Class A common stock in exchange for 33,298,754 shares of Millrose Class A common stock, which represented approximately 20% of Millrose's outstanding shares. The exchange resulted in a $1.1 billion reduction in investments in unconsolidated entities and stockholders' equity as of November 30, 2025 and a one-time loss of $156.1 million in Homebuilding other income (expense), net, in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

For the years ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, we had a tax provision of $705.6 million and $1.2 billion, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 25.3% and 23.6%, respectively. For both periods, our 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 year ended November 30, 2025 compared to the prior period was primarily due to the loss related to the Millrose Exchange Offer not being recognized for tax purposes. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act") was enacted, introducing various changes to U.S. federal tax law. The Act did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and we are still evaluating the potential impact of the Act on future periods.

(2) For the years ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, gross margins (losses) on sales of land included $23.1 million and $5.1 million of deposit write-offs as we walked away from 15,500 and 6,300 controlled homesites, respectively.

(3) Negative gross and net margins were due to period costs in Urban divisions that impact costs of homes sold without sufficient sales of homes revenue to offset those costs.

(3) During the year ended November 30, 2025, backlog includes 908 acquired homes of which 181,716 and 11 homes were in the Central,

South Central and West homebuilding segments, respectively.

Backlog represents the number of homes under sales contracts. Homes are sold using sales contracts, which are generally accompanied by sales deposits. In some instances, purchasers are permitted to cancel sales if they fail to qualify for financing or under certain other circumstances. Various state and federal laws and regulations may sometimes give purchasers a right to cancel contracts homes in backlog. We do not recognize revenue on homes under sales contracts until the sales are closed and title passes to the new homeowners.

Homebuilding East: Revenues from home sales decreased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to decreases in the number of homes delivered and the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states of the segment except in New Jersey. The overall decrease in the number of homes delivered was primarily due to a decrease in the number of homes delivered per active community due to the timing of homes delivered. The overall decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to pricing to market through an increased use of sales incentives. For the year ended November 30, 2025, gross margin percentage of homes delivered decreased due to lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, partially offset by a decrease in construction costs.

Homebuilding Central: Revenues from home sales decreased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in Alabama, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia, partially offset by an increase in the number of homes delivered in Alabama, Illinois, South Carolina and Virginia. The overall decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to pricing to market through an increased use of sales incentives. The overall increase in the number of homes delivered was primarily due to an increase in the number of active communities. For the year ended November 30, 2025, gross margin percentage of homes delivered decreased due to lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, partially offset by a decrease in construction costs.

Homebuilding South Central: Revenues from home sales increased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the Rausch acquisition which resulted in an increase in the number of homes delivered in all states in the segment, partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in Texas. The overall increase in the number of homes delivered was primarily due to an increase in the number of active communities including communities acquired from Rausch. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to pricing to market through an increased use of sales incentives. For the year ended November 30, 2025, gross margin percentage of homes delivered decreased due to lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, partially offset by a decrease in construction costs.

Homebuilding West: Revenues from home sales decreased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to decreases in the number of homes delivered in all states in the segment except in Idaho and Utah and the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in the segment except in Idaho. The overall decrease in the number of homes delivered was primarily due to a decrease in the number of deliveries per active community due to the timing of homes delivered. The overall decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to pricing to market through an increased use of sales incentives. For the year ended November 30, 2025, gross margin percentage of homes delivered decreased due to lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, partially offset by a decrease in construction costs.

Financial Services Segment

Our Financial Services reportable segment primarily provides mortgage financing, title and closing services primarily for buyers of our homes, as well as property and casualty insurance. The segment also originates and sells into securitizations commercial mortgage loans through its LMF Commercial business. Our Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the residential loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing-released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, we retain potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that we breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements.

The following table sets forth selected financial and operational information related to the residential mortgage and title activities of our Financial Services segment:

Multifamily Segment

We have been actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development and construction of multifamily rental properties. Our Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.

Originally, our Multifamily segment focused on building multifamily properties and selling them shortly after they were completed. However, more recently we have focused on creating and participating in funds that build multifamily properties with the intention of retaining them after they are completed.

The following table provides information related to our investment in the Multifamily segment:

(Dollars in thousands)

At November 30, 2025 2024
Multifamily investments in unconsolidated entities $506,573 503,303

Number of operating properties/investments sold through joint ventures/wholly-owned 11 34
Lennar's share of gains on the sale of operating properties/investments $8,130 219,148

The Multifamily segment manages and has investments in Multifamily Venture Fund I (the "LMV I") and Multifamily Venture Fund II LP (the "LMV II"), which are long-term multifamily development investment vehicles involved in the development, construction and ownership of class-A multifamily rental properties. Details of LMV I and LMV II and the Institutional JV are included below:

Distributions to Lennar during the year ended November 30, 2025 19,690 770

(1) While there are remaining commitments with LMV I and LMV II, there are no plans for additional capital calls.

During the second half of fiscal 2024, the LMV I partners decided to liquidate and sell all of its 38 rental operation projects of LMV I as the fund has come to the end of its contractual life. During the year ended November 30, 2024, 33 LMV I rental operation projects were sold to various third-party buyers. During the year ended November 30, 2025, two additional LMV I rental operation projects were sold to third-party buyers.

In December 2025, we sold a majority interest in Quarterra Group, Inc ("Quarterra"), a subsidiary of our Multifamily segment, to TPG Real Estate (“TPG”), thus retaining a minority interest. TPG’s acquisition of Quarterra and its $1.0 billion strategic commitment, combined with Lennar’s insights, will accelerate Quarterra’s development pipeline and strengthen its platform for delivering thoughtfully designed rental communities in high-growth markets. The sale of Quarterra to TPG did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Our Multifamily segment had equity investments in unconsolidated entities. The breakout of the Multifamily segment's equity investments in unconsolidated entities and the development activities by stage were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

At November 30, 2025
Under construction/owned 10
Partially completed and leasing 4
Completed and operating 37
Total unconsolidated joint ventures 51
Total development costs $7,185,662

As of November 30, 2025, our Multifamily segment also had a pipeline of potential future projects, which were under contract or had letters of intent, totaling approximately $2.8 billion in anticipated development costs across a number of states that will be developed primarily by unconsolidated entities.

Lennar Other Segment

Our Lennar Other segment includes fund investments we retained subsequent to our sale of the Rialto investment and asset management platform as well as strategic investments in various types of technology and other companies that are looking to improve the homebuilding and financial services industries to better serve homebuyers and homeowners and increase efficiencies. As of November 30, 2025 and 2024, our balance sheet had $897.6 million and $894.9 million, respectively, of assets in the Lennar Other segment, which included investments in unconsolidated entities of $368.0 million and $379.4 million, respectively.

We have investments in several publicly traded technology companies, which are held at market and the carrying value of which will therefore change depending on the value of our shareholdings in those entities on the last day of each quarter. All the investments are accounted for as investments in equity securities which are held at fair value and the changes in fair values are recognized through earnings. During the year ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded mark-to-market gains of $130.2 million and $25.2 million on our publicly traded technology investments and other assets, respectively.

At November 30, 2025 and 2024, Lennar Other owned CMBS with carrying values of $39.1 million and $40.6 million, respectively. These securities were purchased at discount rates ranging from 33% to 55% with coupon rates ranging from 3.0% to 3.4%, stated and assumed final distribution dates between September 2025 and March 2026, and stated maturity dates between September 2058 and March 2059. We review changes in estimated cash flows periodically to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on our CMBS. Based on management’s assessment, no impairment charges were recorded during the years ended November 30, 2025 and 2024. We classify these securities as held-for-sale at November 30, 2025 and 2024.

Financial Condition and Capital Resources

At November 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash related to our homebuilding, financial services, multifamily and other operations of $3.8 billion, compared to $5.0 billion at November 30, 2024.

We finance all of our activities including homebuilding, financial services, multifamily, other and general operating needs primarily with cash generated from our operations, debt issuances and investor funds as well as cash borrowed under our warehouse lines of credit, Credit Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (both defined below). At November 30, 2025, we had $3.4 billion of Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and ended the year of 2025 with total liquidity of $6.6 billion.

Operating Cash Flow Activities

During 2025 and 2024, cash provided by operating activities totaled $217 million and $2.4 billion, respectively. During 2025, cash provided by operating activities was positively impacted by our net earnings and a decrease in loans held-for-sale of $124 million primarily related to the sale of loans originated by our Financial Services segment. This was offset by (1) an increase in inventories due to our growth strategy, strategic land purchases and construction costs of $151 million; (2) an increase in deposits and pre-acquisition costs on real estate of $1.5 billion as we increased the percentage of controlled homesites primarily as a result of option contracts with Millrose; (3) an increase in other assets of $186 million; and (4) a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $691 million.

During 2024, cash provided by operating activities was positively impacted by our net earnings and an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $380 million. This was offset by (1) an increase in inventories due to our growth strategy, strategy land purchases, land development and construction costs of $285 million; (2) an increase in deposits and pre-acquisition costs on real estate of $1.6 billion as we increased the percentage of controlled homesites; and (3) an increase in loans held-for-sale of $218 million primarily related to the sale of loans by our Financial Services segment.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

During 2025 and 2024, cash provided by (used in) investing activities totaled $222 million and ($303) million, respectively. During 2025, our cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to $259 million received from the sale of investments in two joint ventures, $100 million proceeds from the sale of investments, $115 million proceeds from the sale of notes receivable, and distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities of $282 million, which primarily included (1) $130 million from Multifamily unconsolidated entities, (2) $130 million from Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, and (3) $22 million from our Lennar Other unconsolidated entities. This was partially offset by the $254 million acquisition of Rausch, net of cash acquired and $189 million net additions of operating properties and equipment. In addition, we had cash contributions of $254 million to unconsolidated entities, which primarily included (1) $208 million to Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, (2) $13 million to Lennar Other unconsolidated entities, and (3) $32 million to Multifamily unconsolidated entities.

During 2024, our cash used in investing activities was primarily due to cash contributions of $426 million to unconsolidated entities, which primarily included (1) $222 million to Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, (2) $182 million to Lennar Other unconsolidated entities, and (3) $21 million to Multifamily unconsolidated entities. This was partially offset by distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities of $231 million, which primarily included (1) $117 million from Multifamily unconsolidated entities (2) $61 million from Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, and (3) $54 million from our Lennar Other unconsolidated entities.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

During 2025 and 2024, our cash used in financing activities totaled $1.6 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively. During 2025, our cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the (1) $1.8 billion of repurchases of our common stock, which included $1.7 billion of repurchases under our share repurchase program and $66 million of repurchases related to our equity compensation plan; (2) $521 million of dividend payments; (3) $141 million of net repayments under our Financial Services' warehouse facilities; (4) $416 million net cash in connection with the Millrose spin-off; (5) redemption of $500 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% senior notes due May 2025; and (6) $564 million of net payments from liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned due to activity with land banks. The cash used in financing activities was partially offset by the receipt of proceeds of the sale of $700 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.20% senior notes due 2030 and $1.7 billion of net borrowings under our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (defined below).

During 2024, our cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the (1) $2.3 billion of repurchases of our common stock, which included $2.2 billion of repurchases under our repurchase program and $87 million of repurchases related to our equity compensation plan; (2) $549 million of dividend payments; (3) $233 million of net repayments under our Financial Services' warehouse facilities; (4) redemptions of $454 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.50% senior notes due April 2024; (5) $100 million of partial repurchase of our 4.75% senior notes due 2027; and (6) $14 million of net payments from liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned due to activity with land banks.

Debt to total capital ratios are financial measures commonly used in the homebuilding industry and are presented to assist in understanding the leverage of our Homebuilding operations. Homebuilding debt to total capital and net Homebuilding debt to total capital were calculated as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

At November 30, 2025 2024
Homebuilding debt $4,084,686 2,258,283
Stockholders’ equity 21,959,417 27,870,135
Total capital $26,044,103 30,128,418
Homebuilding debt to total capital 15.7% 7.5%
Homebuilding debt $4,084,686 2,258,283
Less: Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents 3,441,324 4,662,643
Net Homebuilding debt $643,362 (2,404,360)
Net Homebuilding debt to total capital (1) 2.8% (9.4)%

(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). Our management 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 our 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 our GAAP results.

At November 30, 2025, Homebuilding debt to total capital was higher compared to November 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a decrease in stockholders' equity due to the spin-off of Millrose, share repurchases, an increase in Homebuilding debt due to issuance of senior notes and outstanding borrowings under our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (defined below), partially offset by net earnings.

We are continually exploring various types of transactions to manage our leverage and liquidity positions, take advantage of market opportunities and increase our revenues and earnings. These transactions may include the issuance of additional indebtedness, the repurchase of our outstanding indebtedness, the repurchase of our common stock, the acquisition of homebuilders and other companies, the purchase or sale of assets or lines of business, the issuance of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock, and/or the pursuit of other financing alternatives. In connection with some of our non-homebuilding businesses, we are also considering other types of transactions such as sales, restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings as we continue to move back towards being a pure play homebuilding company.

In February 2025, we completed the taxable spin-off of Millrose through a distribution of approximately 80% of Millrose's total outstanding stock to our stockholders (the “Millrose Spin-Off”). We temporarily retained the remaining approximately 20% of the total outstanding shares of Millrose common stock, exclusively in the form of Millrose Class A common stock. In connection with the Spin-Off, certain Lennar employees received shares of Millrose Class A common stock or Millrose Class B common stock (at their election) on their unvested Lennar restricted stock awards. From time to time, following the Millrose Spin-Off, Lennar has received and may continue to receive additional shares of Millrose Class A common stock and Millrose Class B common stock that are forfeited back to Lennar from employees in connection with their forfeiture of the underlying unvested Lennar restricted stock awards (the “Forfeitures”). We do not exercise our voting rights with respect to any Millrose common stock we hold. As described further below, on November 26, 2025, we subsequently disposed of approximately 20% of Millrose’s total outstanding stock, all in the form of Class A common stock, through a non-cash exchange offer for Lennar Class A common stock. Lennar retains an immaterial amount of Millrose Class A common stock and Millrose Class B common stock from the Forfeitures and may dispose of such shares, along with any additional Millrose common stock shares received from future Forfeitures, through one or more future dispositions.

In connection with the Millrose Spin-off, we contributed to Millrose $5.6 billion in land assets, representing approximately 87,000 homesites, and cash of $1.0 billion, which included $584.0 million of cash deposits related to option contracts. The Millrose Spin-Off accelerated Lennar's longstanding strategy of becoming a pure-play, asset-light, new home manufacturing company.

In connection with the Millrose Exchange Offer, we accepted 8,049,594 shares of Lennar Class A common stock in exchange for 33,298,754 shares of Millrose Class A common stock. The Millrose Exchange Offer reduced investments in unconsolidated entities and stockholders' equity by $1.1 billion as of November 30, 2025 and resulted in a one-time loss of $156.1 million recorded in Other income (expense), net and other gains (losses), net, in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

On February 10, 2025, we acquired Rausch, a residential homebuilder based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We acquired Rausch’s homebuilding operations while Millrose acquired Rausch's land assets and we have options on the land. With this acquisition, we have expanded our footprint into new markets in Arkansas (Bentonville/Fayetteville, Little Rock and Jonesboro), Oklahoma (Tulsa and Stillwater), Alabama (Birmingham and Tuscaloosa), and Kansas/Missouri (Kansas City), while adding to our existing footprint in Texas (Houston and San Antonio), Oklahoma (Oklahoma City), Alabama (Huntsville) and Florida (Gulf Coast).

Our Homebuilding senior notes and other debts payable are summarized within Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2025, we entered into a new unsecured delayed draw term loan facility with an initial committed borrowing availability of approximately $1.6 billion (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”), which can be increased by an additional $500 million via an accordion feature. In July 2025, the total commitment under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility was increased by $100 million, thereby increasing the borrowing available capacity to $1.7 billion. The credit agreement governing our new unsecured Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility permits us to draw up to six times in the first 180 days after the effective date of the credit agreement. Once drawn, we may at any time prepay the loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The term loan’s maturity date is three years from the initial effectiveness date of the credit agreement or May 2028, and at our discretion, it can be extended for an additional year until May 2029, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, interest rates are equal to the adjusted term SOFR determined for the interest period plus the applicable margin. As of November 30, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $1.7 billion under the credit agreement governing our new unsecured Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility.

In November 30, 2025, we amended and restated the credit agreement governing our unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). In the first quarter of 2025, we received an additional $150 million in commitments. In the third quarter of 2025, we secured an additional $100 million in commitments. The maximum available borrowings on the Credit Facility were as follows:

(In thousands)

At November 30, 2025
Commitments - maturing in May 2027 $225,000
Commitments - maturing in November 2029 2,900,000
Total commitments $3,125,000
Accordion feature 375,000
Total maximum borrowings capacity $3,500,000

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. The credit agreement also provides that up to $477.5 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. As of both November 30, 2025 and 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. In addition to the Credit Facility, we have other letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.

We often post letters of credit instead of making cash deposits for option contracts and for similar purposes. We often are required to post surety bonds to guarantee completion of projects, particularly when municipal authorities are involved. Our outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds are described below:

At November 30, 2025 2024
Performance letters of credit $1,963,643 1,668,061
Financial letters of credit 926,304 745,578
Surety bonds 5,614,807 5,140,432
Anticipated future costs primarily for site improvements related to performance surety bonds 3,056,582 2,766,088

Our Homebuilding average debt outstanding and the average rates of interest were as follows:

Under the Credit Facility agreement (the "Credit Facility Agreement") and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio and either a liquidity or an interest coverage ratio. These ratios are calculated per the Credit Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility agreements, which involve adjustments to GAAP financial measures. As of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are required to maintain minimum consolidated tangible net worth of $10.0 billion. As of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are required to maintain a maximum leverage ratio that shall not exceed 60%. As of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are also required to maintain either (1) liquidity in an amount equal to or greater than 1.00x consolidated interest incurred for the last twelve months then ended or (2) an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1.50:1.00 for the last twelve months then ended. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at November 30, 2025.

The following summarizes our required debt covenants and our actual levels or ratios with respect to those covenants as calculated per the Credit Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility agreements as of November 30, 2025:

(Dollars in thousands)

Covenant Level Level Achieved as of November 30, 2025
Minimum net worth test $10,000,000 16,027,843
Maximum leverage ratio 60.0% 7.4%
Liquidity test (1) 1.00 56.00

(1) We are only required to maintain either (1) liquidity in an amount equal to or greater than 1.00x consolidated interest incurred for the last twelve months then ended or (2) an interest coverage ratio of equal to or greater than 1.50:1.00 for the last twelve months then ended. Although we are in compliance with our debt covenants for both calculations, we have only disclosed our liquidity test.

At November 30, 2025, the Financial Services segment had warehouse facilities, all of which were 364-day repurchase facilities and were used to fund residential mortgages or commercial mortgages for LMF Commercial as follows:

Total LMF commercial facilities $300,000 — 300,000
Total $3,575,000

(1) Subsequent to November 30, 2025, the maturity date was extended to December 2027.

Our Financial Services segment uses residential mortgage loan warehouse facilities to finance its residential lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and the proceeds are collected. The facilities are non-recourse to us and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. The LMF Commercial facilities finance LMF Commercial loan originations and securitization activities and were secured by up to 80% interests in the originated commercial loans financed.

Borrowings and collateral under the facilities were as follows:

(In thousands)

At November 30, 2025 2024
Borrowings under the residential facilities $1,653,484 1,776,045
Collateral under the residential facilities 1,718,338 1,837,833
Borrowings under the LMF Commercial facilities 13,719 28,747

If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be repaid by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting receivables on loans sold but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

Changes in Capital Structure

In January 2024, our Board authorized an increase to our stock repurchase program to enable us to repurchase up to an additional $5.0 billion in value of our outstanding Class A or Class B common stock. Repurchases are authorized to be made in open-market or private transactions. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date. At November 30, 2025, we have a remaining authorization to repurchase $1.7 billion in value of our Class A or B common stock. Repurchases are authorized to be made in open-market or private transactions. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date.

The following table provides information about our repurchases of Class A and Class B common stock:

(Dollars in thousands, except price per share)

For the Years Ended November 30, 2025 Class A Class B 2024 Class A Class B
Shares repurchased (1) 13,202,936 851,386 11,942,725 1,612,501
Total purchase price $1,624,220 $101,779 $1,906,049 $243,860
Average price per share $123.02 $119.55 $159.60 $151.23

(1) Shares repurchased do not include 8,049,594 shares of Lennar Class A common stock accepted through a non-cash exchange for shares of Millrose Class A common stock, which was completed in November 2025.

During the year ended November 30, 2025, treasury stock increased by 22.8 million shares primarily due to our repurchase of 14.1 million shares of Class A and Class B common stock through our stock repurchase program and a non-cash Millrose Exchange Offer, accepting 8.0 million shares of Lennar Class A common stock in exchange for 33.3 million shares of Millrose Class A common stock, which represented 20% of Millrose's outstanding shares. During the year ended November 30, 2024, treasury stock increased by 14.2 million shares primarily due to our repurchase of 13.6 million shares of Class A and Class B common stock through our stock repurchase program.

In February 2025, we distributed a stock dividend consisting of 120,980,401 shares of Millrose Class A common stock and 11,819,811 shares of Millrose Class B common stock (representing approximately 80% of the total outstanding shares of Millrose common stock) to the holders of Lennar Class A or Class B common stock as of the close of business on January 21, 2025, the record date of the Millrose Spin-Off.

During the years ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, our Class A and Class B common stockholders received an aggregate per share annual dividend of $2.00 and $2.00, respectively. On January 21, 2026, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock, payable on February 19, 2026 to holders of record at the close of business on February 4, 2026.

Based on our current financial condition and credit relationships, we believe that our operations and borrowing resources will provide for our current and long-term capital requirements at our anticipated levels of activity.

Supplemental Financial Information

Our outstanding senior notes are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are primarily homebuilding subsidiaries. These guarantees are full and unconditional. The guarantors of our senior notes are currently those subsidiaries that also guarantee Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities, Credit Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, which are disclosed in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Under the indentures governing our senior notes, guarantees may be suspended or released under certain circumstances.

Supplemental information for the Obligors, which excludes non-guarantor subsidiaries and intercompany transactions, at November 30, 2025 is included in the following tables. Intercompany balances and transactions within the Obligors have been eliminated and amounts attributable to the Obligors' investment in consolidated subsidiaries that have not issued or guaranteed the senior notes have been excluded.

Homebuilding - Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We regularly monitor the results of our Homebuilding unconsolidated joint ventures and any trends that may affect their future liquidity or results of operations. We also monitor the performance of Homebuilding joint ventures in which we have investments on a regular basis to assess compliance with debt covenants. For those joint ventures not in compliance with their debt covenants, we evaluate and assess possible impairment of our investments. We believe that substantially all of the joint ventures were in compliance with their debt covenants at November 30, 2025.

At November 30, 2025, we had equity investments in 50 active Homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which 4 had recourse debt, 14 had non-recourse debt and 32 had no debt), compared to 51 active Homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2024. Historically, we have invested in unconsolidated entities that acquired and developed land (1) for our homebuilding operations or for sale to third parties or (2) for the construction of homes for sale to third-party homebuyers. Through these entities, we have primarily sought to reduce and share our risk by limiting the amount of our capital invested in land, while obtaining access to potential future homesites and allowing us to participate in strategic ventures. The use of these entities also, in some instances, has enabled us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on as favorable terms, without the participation of a strategic partner. Participants in these joint ventures have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to homesites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large land parcels. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners’ capital. Joint ventures with strategic partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with the specific expertise (e.g. commercial or infill experience) of our partner. Each joint venture is governed by an executive committee consisting of members from the partners. Details regarding these investments, balances and debt are included in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes the principal maturities of our Homebuilding unconsolidated entities ("JVs") debt as per current debt arrangements as of November 30, 2025. It does not represent estimates of future cash payments that will be made to reduce debt balances. Many JV loans have extension options in the loan agreements that would allow the loans to be extended into future years.

Multifamily - Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At November 30, 2025, Multifamily had equity investments in 25 active unconsolidated entities that are engaged in multifamily residential developments (of which 18 had non-recourse debt and 7 had no debt), and 23 active unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2024. We invest in unconsolidated entities that acquire and develop land to construct multifamily rental properties. Through these entities, we are focusing on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets. Participants in these joint ventures have been financial partners. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our development and construction expertise with access to our partners’ capital. Each joint venture is governed by an operating agreement that provides significant substantive participating voting rights on major decisions to our partners.

The Multifamily segment manages and has investments in LMV I, LMV II and Canada Pension Plan Investments (the "CPPIB Fund") and a new joint venture with an institutional investor (the "Institutional JV"), which are long-term multifamily development investment vehicles involved in the development, construction and ownership of class-A multifamily assets. Details of each as of and during the year ended November 30, 2025 are included in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We regularly monitor the results of our Multifamily unconsolidated joint ventures and any trends that may affect their future liquidity or results of operations. We also monitor the performance of Multifamily joint ventures in which we have investments on a regular basis to assess compliance with debt covenants. For those joint ventures not in compliance with the debt covenants, we evaluate and assess possible impairment of our investment. We believe all of the joint ventures were in compliance with their debt covenants at November 30, 2025.

Lennar Other - Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

As part of the sale of the Rialto investment and asset management platform, we retained the right to receive a portion of payments with regard to carried interests if certain funds meet specified performance thresholds. We periodically receive advance distributions related to the carried interests in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to the carried interests. These distributions are not subject to clawbacks but reduce future carried interest payments to which we become entitled from the applicable funds and were recorded as equity in earnings (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations. Our investment in the Rialto funds totaled $133.0 million and $140.1 million as of November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of November 30, 2025 and 2024, we had strategic technology investments in unconsolidated entities of $235.0 million and $239.3 million respectively, accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our strategic technology investments through our LENX business help to enhance the homebuying and home ownership experience, and help us stay at the forefront of homebuilding innovation.

Option Contracts

We often obtain access to land through option contracts, which generally enable us to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land banks) and unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether to exercise the options. Since fiscal year 2020, we have been increasing the percentage of our total homesites that we control through options rather than own.

As part of our focus on strategic relationships to further enhance our land-lighter strategy, at the end of fiscal year 2020 we entered into an arrangement with various land bank investor groups. Under the arrangement, in most instances when we want to acquire a property for use in our for-sale single-family home business, we will offer the investor group the opportunity to acquire the property and give us an option to purchase all or a portion of it back in the future, if it is mutually beneficial to both parties. To the extent the investor group does not elect to purchase properties we identify, we can utilize our other investor relationships to have other investor groups purchase the land or we can purchase it directly. The arrangement with the investor group, together with existing and other strategic partnerships we are discussing, are significant steps in our strategy to migrate to a higher percentage of our homesites which we control but do not own, which we expect will result in greater cash flow and higher returns on assets and equity.

The table below indicates the number of homesites to which we had access through option contracts with third parties or unconsolidated JVs (i.e., controlled homesites) and homesites owned at November 30, 2025 and 2024:

(3) Interest commitments on variable interest-bearing debt are determined based on the interest rate as of November 30, 2025.

We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including option contracts) for the purchase, development and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of our business. Option contracts for the purchase of land generally reduce our financial risk and costs of capital associated with land holdings. At November 30, 2025, we had access to 496,250 homesites through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At November 30, 2025, we had $6.3 billion of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to certain of these homesites and had posted $443.3 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts.

At November 30, 2025, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $2.9 billion (which included the $443.3 million of letters of credit discussed above). Details on our letters of credit outstanding and outstanding surety bonds are included in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our Financial Services segment had a pipeline of loan applications in process of $3.3 billion at November 30, 2025. Loans in process for which interest rates were committed to the borrowers totaled approximately $1.6 billion as of November 30, 2025. A significant portion of these commitments had a remaining period of 60 days or less. Since a portion of these commitments is expected to expire without being exercised by the borrowers or borrowers may not meet certain criteria at the time of closing, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Our Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") forward commitments, option contracts, futures contracts and investor commitments to hedge our mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option contracts, futures contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting our counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting our credit standards. Our risk, in the event of default by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and the option contracts. At November 30, 2025, we had open commitments amounting to $3.0 billion to sell forward contracts, which include MBS and interest rate swaps, with varying settlement dates through February 2026 and open future contracts in the amount of $1.4 million with the varying settlement dates through May 2026.

The following sections discuss market and financing risk, seasonality and interest rates and changing prices that may have an impact on our business:

Market and Financing Risk

We finance our contributions to JVs, land acquisition and development activities, construction activities, financial services activities, Multifamily activities and general operating needs primarily with cash generated from operations and debt, as well as borrowings under our Credit Facility and warehouse repurchase facilities. We also purchase land under option agreements, which enables us to control homesites until we have determined whether to exercise the options. We try to manage the financial risks of adverse market conditions associated with land holdings by what we believe to be prudent underwriting of land purchases in areas we view as desirable growth markets, careful management of the land development process and limitation of risks by using partners to share the costs of purchasing and developing land as well as obtaining access to land through option contracts. Although we believe our land underwriting standards are conservative, we do not anticipate a severe decline in land values and the sharply reduced demand for new homes in the near future.

Seasonality

We historically have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. Our homebuilding business is seasonal in nature and generally reflects higher levels of new home order activity in our second and third fiscal quarters and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, a variety of factors can alter seasonal patterns.

Interest Rates and Changing Prices

Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of land, materials and labor result in a need to increase the sales prices of homes. In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which can have a negative impact on housing demand and increase the costs of financing land development activities and housing construction. Rising interest rates as well as increased material and labor costs, may reduce gross margins. An increase in materials and labor costs would be particularly a problem during a period of declining home prices. Conversely, deflation can impact the value of real estate and make it difficult for us to recover our land costs. Therefore, either inflation or deflation could adversely impact our future results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a comprehensive list of new accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this document. As discussed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements. Listed below are those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of significant judgment in their application.

Goodwill

We recorded a significant amount of goodwill in connection with the 2018 acquisition of CalAtlantic. We record goodwill associated with acquisitions of businesses when the purchase price of the business exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable assets acquired. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we evaluate goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis. We have the option to perform a qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting units and other entity and reporting unit specific events. We believe that the accounting estimate for goodwill is a critical accounting estimate because of the judgment required in assessing the fair value of each of our reporting units. We estimate fair value through various valuation methods, including the use of discounted expected future cash flows of each reporting unit. The expected future cash flows for each segment are significantly impacted by current market conditions. If these market conditions and resulting expected future cash flows for each reporting unit decline significantly, the actual results for each segment could differ from our estimate, which would cause goodwill to be impaired. Our accounting for goodwill represents our best estimate of future events.

Homebuilding Revenue Recognition

Homebuilding revenues and related profits from sales of homes are recognized at the time of the closing of a sale, when title to and possession of the property are transferred to the homebuyer. In order to promote sales of the homes, we may offer sales incentives to homebuyers. The types of incentives vary on a community-by-community basis and home-by-home basis. They include primarily price discounts on individual homes and financing incentives, all of which are reflected as a reduction of home sales revenues. Our performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Cash proceeds from home closings held in escrow for our benefit, typically for approximately three days, are included in Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosed in the notes to consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities include customer deposit liabilities related to sold but undelivered homes that are included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties. Cash consideration from land sales is typically due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue is recognized as title to and possession of the property are transferred to the buyer.

Multifamily Revenue Recognition

Our Multifamily segment provides management services with respect to the development and construction of rental projects in joint ventures in which we have investments. As a result, our Multifamily segment earns and receives fees, which are generally based upon a stated percentage of development and construction costs and a percentage of gross rental collections. These fees are recorded over the period in which the services are performed using an input method, which properly depicts the level of effort required to complete the management services. In addition, our Multifamily segment provides general contractor services for the construction of some of its rental projects and recognizes the revenue over the period in which the services are performed using an input method, which properly depicts the level of effort required to complete the construction services. These customer contracts require us to provide management and general contractor services which represents a performance obligation that we satisfy over time. Management fees and general contractor services in the Multifamily segment are included in Multifamily revenue. When the Multifamily segment acts as general contractor, it treats the entire construction cost as revenue and treats payments to subcontractors as expenses.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. Inventory costs include land, land development and home construction costs, real estate taxes and interest related to development and construction. We review our inventory for indicators of impairment by evaluating each community during each reporting period. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by a community are less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the carrying amount of such community to its estimated fair value.

In conducting our review for indicators of impairment on a community level, we evaluate, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, margins on homes under sales contracts in backlog, projected margins with regard to future home sales over the life of the community, projected margins with regard to future land sales, and the estimated fair value of the land itself.

We estimate the fair value of our communities using a discounted cash flow model. The projected cash flows for each community are significantly impacted by estimates related to market supply and demand, product type by community, homesite sizes, sales pace, sales prices, sales incentives, construction costs, sales and marketing expenses, the local economy, competitive conditions, labor costs, costs of materials and other factors for that particular community. We evaluate the historical performance of each of our communities as well as current trends in the market and economy impacting the community and its surrounding areas. These trends are analyzed for each of the estimates listed above.

Since the estimates and assumptions included in our cash flow models are based upon historical results and projected trends, they do not anticipate unexpected changes in market conditions or strategies that may lead to us incurring additional impairment charges in the future.

Using all the available information, we calculate our best estimate of projected cash flows for each community. While many of the estimates are calculated based on historical and projected trends, all estimates are subjective and change from market to market and community to community as market and economic conditions change. The determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate we believe a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each asset’s fair value depends on the community’s projected life and development stage.

We estimate the fair value of inventory evaluated for impairment based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the inventory is evaluated, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or our assumptions change.

We believe that the accounting related to inventory valuation and impairment is a critical accounting policy because: (1) assumptions inherent in the valuation of our inventory are highly subjective and susceptible to change and (2) the impact of recognizing impairments on our inventory could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Product Warranty

Although we subcontract virtually all aspects of construction to others and our contracts call for the subcontractors to repair or replace any deficient items related to their trades, we are primarily responsible to homebuyers to correct any deficiencies. Additionally, in some instances, we may be held responsible for the actions of or losses incurred by subcontractors. Warranty and similar reserves for homes are established at an amount estimated to be adequate to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a home. Reserves are determined based upon historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. We believe the accounting estimate related to the reserve for warranty costs is a critical accounting estimate because the estimate requires a large degree of judgment. While we believe that the reserve for warranty costs is adequate, there can be no assurances that historical data and trends will accurately predict our actual warranty costs. Additionally, there can be no assurances that future economic or financial developments might not lead to a significant change in the reserve.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We strategically invest in unconsolidated entities that acquire and develop land (1) for our homebuilding operations or for sale to third parties, (2) for construction of homes for sale to third-party homebuyers or (3) for the construction and sale of multifamily rental properties. Our Homebuilding partners generally are unrelated homebuilders, land owners/developers and financial or other strategic partners. Additionally, in recent years, we have invested in technology companies that are looking to improve the homebuilding and financial services industry in order to better serve homebuyers and homeowners and increase efficiencies. Our Multifamily partners are all financial partners.

Most of the unconsolidated entities through which we acquire and develop land are accounted for by the equity method of accounting because we are not the primary beneficiary or a de-facto agent, and we have a significant, but less than controlling, interest in the entities. We record our investments in these entities in our consolidated balance sheets as Investments in Unconsolidated Entities and our pro-rata share of the entities’ earnings or losses in our consolidated statements of operations as equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated entities within each of the respective segments. For most unconsolidated entities, we generally have the right to share in earnings and distributions on a pro-rata basis based upon ownership percentages. However, certain Homebuilding unconsolidated entities and all of our Multifamily unconsolidated entities provide for a different allocation of profit and cash distributions if and when cumulative results of the joint venture exceed specified targets (such as a specified internal rate of return). Advances to these entities are included in the investment balance.

Management looks at specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of, or have a controlling interest in, an unconsolidated entity. Factors considered in determining whether we have significant influence, or we have control include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of the other partners, voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions and continuing involvement. The accounting policy relating to the use of the equity method of accounting is a critical accounting policy due to the judgment required in determining whether the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") or a voting interest entity and then whether we are the primary beneficiary or have control or significant influence. We believe that the equity method of accounting is appropriate for our investments in unconsolidated entities where we are not the primary beneficiary and we do not have a controlling interest, but rather share control with our partners.

We evaluate the long-lived assets in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in the fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity below its carrying amount has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value.

The evaluation of our investment in unconsolidated entities for other-than-temporary impairment includes certain critical assumptions: (1) projected future distributions from the unconsolidated entities, (2) discount rates applied to the future distributions, (3) the length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, and (4) various other factors. Our assumptions on the projected future distributions from unconsolidated entities are dependent on market conditions.

We believe our assumptions on discount rates are critical accounting policies because the selection of the discount rates affects the estimated fair value of our investments in unconsolidated entities. A higher discount rate reduces the estimated fair value of our investments in unconsolidated entities, while a lower discount rate increases the estimated fair value of our investments in unconsolidated entities. Because of changes in economic conditions, actual results could differ materially from management’s assumptions and may require material valuation adjustments to our investments in unconsolidated entities to be recorded in the future.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

GAAP requires the assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, if we are the primary beneficiary at the inception of the entity or at a reconsideration event. Additionally, GAAP requires the consolidation of VIEs in which we have a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Our variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of (1) equity ownership, (2) contracts to purchase assets, (3) management services and development agreements between us and a VIE, (4) loans provided by us to a VIE or other partner and/or (5) guarantees provided by members to banks and other third parties. We examine specific criteria and use our judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality between us and the other partner(s) and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs.

Generally, all major decision making in our joint ventures is shared among all partners. In particular, business plans and budgets are generally required to be unanimously approved by all partners. Usually, management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and other partners. Generally, we purchase less than a majority of the JV’s assets and the purchase prices under our option contracts are believed to be at market.

Generally, our unconsolidated entities become VIEs and consolidate if the other partner(s) lack the intent and financial wherewithal to remain in the entity. As a result, we continue to fund operations and debt paydowns through partner loans or substituted capital contributions. The accounting policy relating to variable interest entities is a critical accounting policy because the determination of whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether we are primary beneficiary may require us to exercise significant judgment.

Market risk

As filed, 3,697 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

We are exposed to a number of market risks in the ordinary course of business. Our primary market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest rates on our investments, loans held-for-sale, loans held-for-investment and outstanding variable rate debt.

For fixed rate debt, such as our senior notes, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. For variable rate debt such as our unsecured revolving credit facility, delayed draw term loan facility and Financial Services’ and LMF Commercial’s warehouse repurchase facilities, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of the outstanding borrowings on the debt facilities but do affect our earnings and cash flows.

In our Financial Services operations, we utilize mortgage backed securities forward commitments, option contracts and investor commitments to protect the value of rate-locked commitments and loans held-for-sale from fluctuations in mortgage-related interest rates.

To mitigate interest risk associated with LMF Commercial's loans held-for-sale, we use derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to risk from the time a borrower locks a loan until the time the loan is securitized. We hedge our interest rate exposure through entering into interest rate swap futures. We also manage a portion of our credit exposure by buying protection within the CMBX and CDX markets.

We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

The table below provides information at November 30, 2025 about our significant instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For investments held-to-maturity, senior notes and other debts payable and notes and other debts payable, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average effective interest rates by expected maturity dates and estimated fair values at November 30, 2025. Weighted average variable interest rates are based on the variable interest rates at November 30, 2025.

See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 and Notes 1 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for a further discussion of these items and our strategy of mitigating our interest rate risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Lennar Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Lennar Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of November 30, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended November 30, 2025, of the Company and our report dated January 28, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
