Third Quarter 2022 Highlights - comparisons to the prior year quarter
MIAMI, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation's leading homebuilders, today reported results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2022. Third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2022 were $1.5 billion, or $5.03 per diluted share, compared to third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2021 of $1.4 billion, or $4.52 per diluted share. Excluding mark-to-market gains (losses) on technology investments in both years and one-time items in the current year, third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2022 were $1.5 billion, or $5.18 per diluted share, compared to third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2021 of $1.0 billion, or $3.27 per diluted share.
Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman of Lennar, said, "At this evolving time in the market, we are pleased to report third quarter earnings of $1.5 billion, or $5.03 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 billion, or $4.52 per diluted share for the third quarter last year. Excluding mark-to-market gains (losses) on our technology investments and one-time items, third quarter earnings were $1.5 billion, or $5.18 per diluted share, compared to $1.0 billion, or $3.27 per diluted share for the third quarter last year, a 48% and 58% increase year over year, respectively."
Mr. Miller continued, "Our home deliveries were 17,248, up 13% over last year, and in line with our guidance estimate given at the beginning of the quarter, and we achieved a homebuilding gross margin of 29.2% and homebuilding S,G&A expenses of 5.8%, leading to a 23.5% net margin, even as materials and labor costs increased. Supply chain constraints, while improving, still continue to limit deliveries."
"While our new orders declined 12% compared to last year's third quarter, we continued to maintain a consistent starts pace and drive sales by adjusting pricing and incentives. Sales have clearly been impacted by rising interest rates, but there remains a significant national shortage of housing, especially workforce housing, and demand remains strong as we navigate the rebalance between price and interest rates."
"Accordingly, during the quarter, we continued to focus on pricing to market and rightsizing our inventory to generate significant cash flow. We are focused on balance sheet strength as we retired early $575 million of homebuilding senior notes due November 2022, ended the quarter with $1.3 billion in cash, had no borrowings on our $2.6 billion revolver and homebuilding debt to capital of 15.0%, the lowest in our history. Our balance sheet has never been in a stronger position than it is today."
Rick Beckwitt, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of Lennar, said, "Much of our balance sheet and inventory management progress was driven by an intense focus on our land strategy while simultaneously driving sales, deliveries and managing production. During the quarter, we reassessed every deal in our land pipeline and worked with our strong land relationships to improve the underwriting on many deals. Our ending community count for the quarter decreased slightly from the second quarter, but is expected to increase approximately 5% by year end. We also continued to make significant progress on our land light strategy. This was evidenced by our controlled homesite percentage increasing to 63% from 53% and our years owned supply of homesites improving to 2.9 years from 3.3 years year over year."
Jon Jaffe, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of Lennar, said, "During the quarter, our homebuilding machine continued to be intensely focused on carefully managing production. Our cycle time during the quarter was marginally down sequentially, indicating that the well documented supply chain issues that continue to limit our productivity are beginning to become more manageable and perhaps subside. Our quarterly starts and sales pace were 4.4 homes and 4.0 homes per community, respectively, and we ended the third quarter with approximately 500 completed, unsold homes, demonstrating our focus on inventory management."
Mr. Miller concluded, "As we have seen over the past quarters, interest rates are moving and likely to continue to move, and the housing market will continue to rebalance pricing and interest rates in order to meet demand. Therefore, for our fourth quarter, we will give broad boundaries for deliveries between 20,000 to 21,000 homes and boundaries for gross margins between 26.0% – 27.0%. We continue to fortify our balance sheet with significant liquidity and operate from a position of strength, enabling us to continue to execute on our core strategies and outperform in periods of uncertainty."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2021
Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 30% in the third quarter of 2022 to $8.4 billion from $6.5 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 13% increase in the number of home deliveries to 17,248 homes from 15,199 homes and a 15% increase in the average sales price to $491,000 from $428,000.
Gross margins on home sales were $2.5 billion, or 29.2%, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.8 billion, or 27.3%, in the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter of 2022, an increase in revenues per square foot was offset by an increase in costs per square foot primarily due to higher materials and labor costs. Overall, gross margins improved year over year as land costs remained relatively flat while interest expense decreased as a result of the Company's focus on reducing debt.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $485.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $453.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 5.8% in the third quarter of 2022, from 7.0% in the third quarter of 2021. This was the lowest percentage for any quarter in the Company's history primarily due to a decrease in broker commissions and the benefits of the Company's technology efforts.
Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $63.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. The operating earnings included a $35.5 million one-time charge due to an increase in a litigation accrual related to a court judgment. The Company is appealing this judgment since it believes there were clear errors of law made by the trial court. Excluding this one-time charge, operating earnings were $98.5 million, compared to operating earnings of $111.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower mortgage net margins driven by a more competitive mortgage market, partially offset by an increase in rate lock volume.
Other Ancillary Businesses
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $48.5 million ($45.9 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the third quarter of 2022, compared to an operating loss of $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $118.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to operating earnings of $492.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Lennar Other operating loss in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to mark-to-market losses on the Company's publicly traded technology investments. Lennar Other operating earnings in the third quarter of 2021 were primarily due to mark-to-market gains on the Company's publicly traded technology investments.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 COMPARED TO
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2021
Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 27% in the nine months ended August 31, 2022 to $22.1 billion from $17.4 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2021. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 10% increase in the number of home deliveries to 46,335 from 42,006 and a 16% increase in the average sales price to $479,000 from $414,000.
Gross margins on home sales were $6.4 billion, or 28.7%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2022, compared to $4.6 billion, or 26.2%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2021. During the nine months ended August 31, 2022, an increase in revenues per square foot was offset by an increase in costs per square foot primarily due to higher materials and labor costs. Overall, gross margins improved year over year as land costs remained relatively flat while interest expense decreased as a result of the Company's focus on reducing debt.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.4 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2022, compared to $1.3 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2021. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 6.3% in the nine months ended August 31, 2022, from 7.6% in the nine months ended August 31, 2021. The improvement was primarily due to a decrease in broker commissions and the benefits of the Company's technology efforts.
Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $257.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2022. The operating earnings included a $35.5 million one-time charge due to an increase in a litigation accrual related to a court judgment. Excluding this one-time charge, operating earnings were $292.6 million, compared to operating earnings of $379.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2021. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower mortgage net margins driven by a more competitive mortgage market, partially offset by an increase in rate lock volume.
Other Ancillary Businesses
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $54.6 million ($52.0 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the nine months ended August 31, 2022, compared to operating earnings of $12.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2021. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $629.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2022, compared to operating earnings of $909.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2021. Lennar Other operating loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 was primarily due to mark-to-market losses on the Company's publicly traded technology investments. The operating earnings for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 were primarily due to mark-to-market gains on the Company's publicly traded technology investments and the gain on the sale of its solar business to Sunnova.
Tax Rate
For the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a tax provision of $351.6 million and $405.1 million, respectively, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 19.3% and 22.4%, respectively. The Company's overall effective income tax rate was lower in the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to the resolution of an uncertain state tax position and the retroactive reinstatement of the energy efficient home credits for 2022, resulting from the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act by Congress. These one-time items also had a favorable impact for the nine months ended August 31, 2022. For the nine months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a tax provision of $951.3 million and $975.4 million, respectively, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 22.4% and 23.1%, respectively.
Share Repurchases
For the nine months ended August 31, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 9.4 million shares of its common stock for $846.9 million at an average share price of $90.40.
Debt Transaction
In August 2022, the Company retired $575 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% senior notes due November 2022. The redemption price, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest.
Liquidity
At August 31, 2022, the Company had $1.3 billion of Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings under its $2.575 billion revolving credit facility, thereby providing $3.9 billion of available capacity.

EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest and taxes. This financial measure has been presented because the Company finds it important and useful in evaluating its performance and believes that it helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare its operations with those of its competitors. Although management finds EBIT to be an important measure in conducting and evaluating the Company's operations, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool as it is not reflective of the actual profitability generated by the Company during the period. Management compensates for the limitations of using EBIT by using this non-GAAP measure only to supplement the Company's GAAP results. Due to the limitations discussed, EBIT should not be viewed in isolation, as it is not a substitute for GAAP measures.

Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). The Company believes the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in homebuilding operations. However, because net homebuilding debt to total capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement the Company's GAAP results.
