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. 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.

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.

Please see Item 1A-Risk Factors and Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results of Operations of this Report for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties which could affect our future results. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of those statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except to the extent we are legally required to disclose certain matters in SEC filings or otherwise.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
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

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
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.
Item 2. Properties.
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.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
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.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Report. It also should be read in conjunction with the disclosure under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I of this Form 10-K.
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.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
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.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Lennar Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lennar Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of November 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2025, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting 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 and our report dated January 28, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Spin-off of Millrose Properties Inc. (Note 2 and 9)
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in Note 2 and 9 to the financial statements, on February 7, 2025, the Company completed the spin-off of its Millrose Properties Inc. (“Millrose”) business through a pro rata distribution of 80% of the outstanding shares of Millrose to Company stockholders. The Company subsequently disposed of its remaining 20% interest in Millrose in November 2025.
As a result of this transaction, the Company performed a reassessment of control over Millrose and determined that Millrose met the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE) in which the Company held a variable interest. The assessment further showed that the Company was not the primary beneficiary and should not consolidate Millrose because the Company does not have the power, either explicitly or implicitly through voting rights or otherwise, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Millrose. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated the Millrose net assets from the Company's financial statements on the date of the spin-off transaction.
We identified the determination of the primary beneficiary under the VIE model for the Company's post spin-off contractual arrangements in Millrose as a critical audit matter. Evaluating whether the Company had the substantive power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of Millrose required a high degree of complex auditor judgment.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the accounting determination for the spin-off included the following, among others:
-
Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's VIE model, including the Company's control related to its determination of the primary beneficiary.
-
Inquired of management to obtain an understanding of and evaluate the business purpose of the transaction and the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity.
-
Evaluated management's determination of how decisions about the most significant activities are made and the party or parties that make them, including whether the Company's economic interest in Millrose as a VIE provides actual or effective power beyond its stated power.
-
With the assistance of professionals with specialized knowledge related to the accounting for VIE's, we evaluated the governing documents of Millrose, including the Master Program Agreement, Master Option Agreement, and other publicly disclosed information to determine whether the Company held any substantive participating rights or had substantive power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Millrose’s economic performance.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") participated in an evaluation by our management of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their participation in that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of November 30, 2025 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or furnished under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our CEO and CFO also participated in an evaluation by our management of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2025. That evaluation did not identify any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm obtained from Deloitte & Touche LLP relating to the effectiveness of Lennar Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting are included elsewhere in this document.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of November 30, 2025. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2025 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report which is included herein.
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.
