Current report
In the second quarter of 2025, our company navigated through a challenging economic environment. Despite these challenges, we remained steadfast in our strategy to drive volume and growth, matching production and sales pace while using margin as the shock absorber to enable affordability and avoid the build-up of excess inventory. Our focus on volume and even-flow production enabled us to re-rationalize our cost structure in order to find a floor and rebuild margin even as the overall housing market continues to soften.
Current report
The macroeconomic landscape remains challenging, with higher mortgage interest rates and diminished consumer confidence being affected by a wide range of uncertainties, both domestic and global. At the same time, supply remains constrained by years of underproduction. New construction has slowed as builders have pulled back on production due to mixed demand signals, exacerbating the chronic supply shortage. Additionally, restrictive land permitting, along with higher impact fees, remain as constraints on supply, while labor and material costs, and costs of lumber, in particular, are generally increasing. Demand, however, is still high, as people want and need homes. Millennials are reaching the prime buying age and are realizing the benefit, and perhaps importance, of homeownership. But affordability and waning confidence are sending confusing signals. Actionable demand continues to cool. This is a difficult cycle, as low supply fuels high prices which lock out many of our homebuyers.
Current report
Our operational strategy is clear: we are building and delivering consistent volume by meeting the market at affordability and pushing efficiencies through our platform. We strongly believe this will produce greater efficiencies and drive down costs. Financially, we are focused on driving an efficient, land-light balance sheet to effectively have land banks and third parties hold and develop our land assets while we build cash flow. We have intentionally maintained volume rather than protecting our margin. In the past, we protected margin as market conditions slowed. However, we have learned that once we step backwards and lose momentum, it becomes difficult to restart and recapture volume. The recovery is difficult and expensive, and we end up coming back as the exact same company that we were before, with no significant changes for the future. We believe we are starting to see a bottom in the free fall in our margin that began with the spike in interest rates in 2022. Our construction costs have decreased over the past two and a half years, and we believe our margins will stabilize as we use our growing volume to work with our trade partners to reduce costs and build efficiencies.
Current report
With regard to our financial strategy of driving a land-light balance sheet, the Millrose spin-off was a critical part of this strategy, but there is more to accomplish. Predictable volume creates greater certainty for the capital markets and will help build more capital-efficient land banking vehicles to interface with our business. We are continuing to drive certainty with dependable volume for our land banking partners. That dependability will translate into certainty and predictability for us.
Current report
Additionally, this part of our strategy benefits from efficiencies derived from our technology-enabled solutions. We have spent considerable time working with, investing in, and exploring technology, and we believe that productivity and efficiencies can be significantly enhanced when these solutions achieve company-wide adoption. But modern technology is not plug-and-play. It requires substantial monetary investment, management time, and widespread engagement.
Current report
Looking ahead to the third quarter of 2025, we anticipate selling and delivering between 22,000 and 23,000 homes. Our average sales price is expected to be between $380,000 and $385,000, as we continue to see pricing pressure on homes sold during the quarter. We are focused on driving sales and closings and maintaining strong current cash flow even at reduced profitability. We expect our margin to come in at approximately 18%, depending on market conditions. For the full year, we expect to deliver at the low end of our previously stated range of 86,000 to 88,000 homes in 2025.
Current report
While the short-term road ahead may seem choppy, we are optimistic about our future. We are well-prepared with a strong national footprint, increasing community count, and growing volume. Our strong balance sheet and land banking relationships, along with our technology-enabled solutions, will afford us flexibility and advantaged opportunities for strategic growth.

Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus Six Months Ended May 31, 2024
Current report
Revenues from home sales were $15.0 billion and $15.3 billion in the six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenues were flat primarily because of a 4% increase in the number of home deliveries, which was offset by a 5% decrease in average sales price of home deliveries. New home deliveries increased to 37,965 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2025 from 36,488 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2024. The average sales price of homes delivered was $398,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2025, compared to $420,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2024. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the six months ended May 31, 2025 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to continued weakness in the market.
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.3 billion in the six months ended May 31, 2025, compared to $1.2 billion in the six months ended May 31, 2024. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.7% in the six months ended May 31, 2025, from 7.8% in the six months ended May 31, 2024, primarily due to less leverage as a result of lower revenues and an increase in marketing and selling expenses.
Current report
During the six months ended May 31, 2025, our homebuilding operating earnings included $37.0 million of interest income, compared to $100.8 million of interest income in the six months ended May 31, 2024. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower cash balances year over year.
Current report
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $299.5 million in the six months ended May 31, 2025, compared to $276.9 million in the six months ended May 31, 2024.

Current report
Homebuilding East: Revenues from home sales decreased in the six months ended May 31, 2025 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2024, primarily due to decreases in the number of homes delivered in all the states in the segment and the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in 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 opening and closing of communities. The overall decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to pricing to market through an increased use of incentives and product mix. In the six months ended May 31, 2025, a decrease in revenues per square foot was partially offset by a decrease in costs per square foot. In addition, land costs increased year over year. Overall, gross margin percentage of homes delivered decreased year over year.

In May 2025, we issued $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.20% senior notes due 2030 (the "5.20% senior notes") at a price of 99.969% of the principal amount. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, totaled $695.6 million. The 5.20% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries. Interest on the 5.20% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning January 30, 2026.
Current report
We utilized the net proceeds from the sale of the 5.20% senior notes primarily to pay off $500 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% senior notes due May 2025. The redemption price, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount outstanding.
Current report
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. 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 or May 2028. 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, and at our discretion, it can be extended for an additional year, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, interest rates equal the adjusted term SOFR determined for the interest period plus the applicable margin. As of May 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the credit agreement governing the new unsecured Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility.

Previous report
Our first quarter results were achieved against the backdrop of a challenging macroeconomic environment for the housing market. We adhered to our strategy and focus on driving consistent volume and growth by matching sales and production pace and using our margin as our shock absorber. Mortgage interest rates have remained higher for longer than we expected, which has left the overall housing market weaker for longer than expected. There remains a housing deficit and actionable demand is limited by affordability and credit, which remain challenged by limited funds for a down payment as well as insufficient homebuyer income to meet qualification requirements for mortgages. Even where household income indicates an approvable mortgage qualification, elevated personal debt levels have often presented an impediment to mortgage access. Until recently, consumers have been generally confident that they will remain employed and that their compensation is secure. However, more recently, even that security has been called into question. While there continues to be a considerable number of customers looking at homes, the urgency to purchase homes remains tepid.
Previous report
Against this backdrop, our strategy has remained clear. Operationally, it is to build and deliver consistent volume to maximize efficiencies, while financially, it is to drive our asset-light, land-light focus to build cash flow. Now that we have completed our Millrose spin-off, we have intensified our focus on each. We have two focuses in our operating strategy.
Previous report
First, we focus on maintaining a consistent volume of production and matching our sales pace to our production pace. This allows us to maximize efficiencies in construction costs, and cycle time, in S,G&A expenses and in all elements of marketing and sales. It also delivers a consistent and even-flow volume to our trade partners so they can be more efficient and deliver cost savings to us. By matching our sales pace and our production pace, we avoid building up inventory of finished homes or developed homesites, which efficiently converts production to cash.
Previous report
Our second focus is our asset-light configuration. The Millrose spin-off completed the backbone of that effort. With Millrose operational, we have a strong complement of land bank partners that undertake land acquisition and land development and provide just-in-time delivery of finished homesites that enables us to act almost entirely as a manufacturer of homes. As with all of our trade partners, our land partners will benefit from our consistent and predictable volume, which will be reflected in reduced costs to us.
Previous report
To date, tariffs have had no impact on our costs. However, we have recently been discussing the potential impact of tariffs with our supply chain, including working on alternative sourcing strategies and preparing our trade partners to absorb potential increases in their costs due to tariffs. Similarly, to date we have encountered no labor disruptions due to immigration enforcement policies.
Previous report
In summary, the housing market has softened as affordability and consumer confidence have limited actionable demand. Incentives have been increasing, and net housing prices seem to be moderating. At very least, housing will not be contributing to inflationary pressures, and while demand is constrained, supply is equally limited.
Previous report
We expect to sell in the second quarter of 2025 between 22,500 and 23,500 homes and to deliver between 19,500 and 20,500 homes. We expect our margin to be approximately 18%, depending on market conditions. We are focused on driving sales and closings to create strong cash flow, even at reduced profitability, while maintaining properly sized inventory levels, so that as market conditions stabilize or improve, we will benefit from normalized margins across our volume.
Previous report
While the short-term road ahead may still seem choppy, we are optimistic about the longer-term outlook. We have continued to drive production to meet the housing shortage that we know persists across the markets. As and when homebuyer interest normalizes, we believe pent-up demand will be activated and our margins will quickly recover. As we complete our asset-light transformation, we expect to continue to generate cash flow which we can return to stockholders through dividends and stock buybacks, while continuing to pursue strategic growth.

The indentures governing our senior notes require that, if any of our 100% owned subsidiaries, other than our finance company subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries, directly or indirectly guarantee at least $75 million principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation (other than senior notes), those subsidiaries must also guarantee Lennar Corporation’s obligations with regard to its senior notes. Included in the following tables as part of “Obligors” together with Lennar Corporation are subsidiary entities that are not finance company subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries and were guaranteeing the senior notes because at February 28, 2025 they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, disclosed in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% directly or indirectly owned by Lennar Corporation. A subsidiary's guarantee of Lennar senior notes will be suspended at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation (other than senior notes), and a subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed.

In the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, we had tax provisions of $160.1 million and $300.5 million, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 25.1% and 23.9%, respectively. For both periods, our effective income tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits.
