The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Outlook

Lennar's second quarter 2026 results represent strong operational execution against a macro backdrop that has grown more complicated throughout the quarter. While our margin remains under pressure as we continue to focus on bringing affordable housing to an affordability-constrained consumer base, underlying demand is real and growing and supply remains structurally short.

Mortgage interest rates remained stubbornly elevated in the mid-to-upper 6% range throughout the quarter, keeping affordability challenged for the majority of our buyers. Complicating the picture further, headline inflation rose to 4.2% year-over-year in May, the highest reading since early 2023, driven primarily by energy prices tied to supply disruptions from the Iran conflict. While core inflation decelerated on a monthly basis, higher energy costs impact every part of the American household budget and weigh on consumer confidence and the urgency to make major financial commitments. The Federal Reserve remains on hold, and near-term rate relief appears unlikely. Consumer psychology continues to be tested by concerns about long-term job security amid rapid advances in artificial intelligence. Traffic across our communities has been inconsistent; intent is high but urgency to close remains measured and deliberate rather than confident.

On an encouraging note, after three years of incentive levels that have been generally increasing, we saw a meaningful decline in our sales incentives on deliveries this quarter. While the overall market remains choppy and it is too early to declare a sustained trend, this may be a leading indicator of margin recovery. The federal government's engagement with the national housing crisis also continues to deepen, with housing affordability remaining a genuine focal point of both the administration and the legislature.

Our operating strategy has not changed. We remain focused on two strategic priorities: driving consistent, even-flow production and volume, and continuously refining our asset-light, land-light balance sheet model to generate strong and growing cash flow and returns. Using incentives, we price to market in order to maintain sales at a consistent level as the market adjusts. This has given us a competitive edge, and has enabled us to drive down construction costs per square foot and to reduce cycle time to a record low. Our land-light model enables us to be a significantly more efficient land buyer, land developer and land administrator at a meaningfully lower cost of capital. We are not waiting for conditions to normalize, we are building and executing in the market as it exists today, and we are currently expecting sequential margin improvement to continue as the year progresses.

For the third quarter of 2026, we expect new orders to be in the range of 21,000 to 22,000 homes, with continued focus on matching starts and sales pace. We anticipate third quarter deliveries to be in the range of 20,500 to 21,500 homes as we maintain even-flow production and convert inventory to cash. Our average sales price on those deliveries is expected to be between $375,000 and $380,000. We expect gross margins to be approximately 16%, and our SG&A percentage should be in the range of 8.8% to 9.0%. For the full year, we are adjusting our annual delivery guidance to 82,000 to 83,000 homes, reflecting current pressures on interest rates and continued macro uncertainty.

After over three years of navigating a rather difficult and complicated housing market, we believe that we are well-positioned for market conditions as they unfold. In the current market, incentives are declining, margins are starting to improve, and our sales and marketing machines are generating stronger leads, faster engagement, and better conversion. Our position is strong in the vast majority of our markets, which gives us the scale and operational discipline to position ourselves for improvements in the market rather than waiting for conditions to improve on their own. We are building towards that with clarity, discipline, and confidence.

(1) Results of Operations

Overview

We historically have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 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.

Our second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $304.8 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to our second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 of $477.4 million, or $1.81 per diluted share. Excluding pretax mark-to-market losses of $23.3 million and $29.4 million on technology investments, respectively, our second quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $322.1 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to $499.5 million or $1.90 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025.
