Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(1)
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lennar Corporation and all subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities in which Lennar Corporation has a controlling interest and VIEs (see Note 15) in which Lennar Corporation is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (the “Company”). The Company’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in VIEs in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, are accounted for by the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
November 30, 2015
. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made.
The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications/Revisions
As a result of the Company's change in reportable segments in the first quarter of 2016, the Company restated certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2016 presentation (See Note 2). These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
(2)
Operating and Reporting Segments
The Company’s operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. The Company’s reportable segments consist of:
(1) Homebuilding East
(2) Homebuilding Central
(3) Homebuilding West
(4) Homebuilding Houston
(5) Lennar Financial Services
(6) Rialto
(7) Lennar Multifamily
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company made the decision to divide the Southeast Florida operating division into
two
operating segments to maximize operational efficiencies given the continued growth of the division. As a result of this change in management structure, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments and determined that neither operating segment met the reportable criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280,
Segment Reporting
. The Company aggregated these operating segments into the Homebuilding East reportable segment as these divisions exhibit similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding East. All prior year segment information has been restated to conform with the 2016 presentation. The change in the reportable segments has no effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.
Information about homebuilding activities in states which are not economically similar to other states in the same geographic area is grouped under “Homebuilding Other,” which is not considered a reportable segment.
7
Evaluation of segment performance is based primarily on operating earnings (loss) before income taxes. Operations of the Company’s homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and other interest expense of the segment.
The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately have homebuilding divisions located in:
East:
Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia
Central:
Arizona, Colorado and Texas
(1)
West:
California and Nevada
Houston:

Texas in the Central reportable segment excludes Houston, Texas, which is its own reportable segment.
Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company’s homes and others. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Lennar Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Lennar Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations as well as in other states.
Operations of the Rialto segment include raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans as well as investing its own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and real estate related securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto’s operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from gains from securitization transactions and interest income from the Rialto Mortgage Finance (“RMF”) business, interest income associated with portfolios of real estate loans acquired and other portfolios of real estate loans and assets acquired, asset management, due diligence and underwriting fees derived from the real estate investment funds managed by the Rialto segment, fees for sub-advisory services, other income (expense), net and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing portfolios, costs related to RMF and other general and administrative expenses.
Operations of the Lennar Multifamily segment include revenues generated from the sales of land, revenue from construction activities and management fees generated from joint ventures and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the cost of sales of land, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses.
Each reportable segment follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended
November 30, 2015
. Operational results of each segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

For both the three and
six months ended May 31, 2016
, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination. This was partially offset by
$
6.7
million
and
$
12.7
million
, respectively, of equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities for the three and
six months ended May 31, 2016
primarily due to sales of
253
homesites and
471
homesites, respectively, to third parties for
$
52.1
million
and
$
114.1
million
, respectively, that resulted in gross profits of
$
18.3
million
and
$
39.0
million
, respectively. For both the three and
six months ended May 31, 2016
,
312
homesites were sold to Lennar by one of the Company's unconsolidated entities for
$
92.0
million
that resulted in
$
29.7
million
, of gross profit, of which the Company's portion was deferred.
For the
three months ended May 31, 2015
, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings included
$
11.6
million
of equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of approximately
60
homesites and a commercial property to third parties for
$
121.3
million
that resulted in
$
37.6
million
of gross profit.
For the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings included
$
43.0
million
of equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities primarily due to (1) sales of approximately
660
homesites to third parties for
$
407.2
million
that resulted in
$
138.4
million
of gross profit and (2) sales of
300
homesites to Lennar for

that resulted in
$

On May 2, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company contributed, or obtained the right to contribute, its investment in
three
strategic joint ventures previously managed by FivePoint Communities in exchange for an investment in a newly formed FivePoint entity. The fair values of the assets contributed to the newly formed FivePoint entity, included within the unconsolidated entities summarized condensed balance sheet presented above, are preliminary and will be adjusted when additional information is obtained during the transaction’s measurement period (a period of up to one year from the Closing Date) that may change the fair value allocation as of the acquisition date. A portion of the assets of one of the three strategic joint ventures was retained by Lennar and its venture partner in a new unconsolidated entity. The transactions did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or cash flows. The Company recorded its share of combination costs in equity in loss from unconsolidated entities on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
.
10
As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were
$
785.9
million
and
$
741.6
million
, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
was
$
1.2
billion
and
$
839.5
million
, respectively. The basis difference is primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in
three
strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the newly formed FivePoint entity, contributing non-monetary assets to an unconsolidated entity with a higher fair value than book value and deferring equity in earnings on land sales.
The Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, the Company and its partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities.
The total debt of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments, including Lennar's maximum recourse exposure, were as follows:

The increase in the Company's maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to the Company providing a repayment guarantee on an unconsolidated entity's debt.
In most instances in which the Company has guaranteed debt of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payments. Historically, the Company has had repayment guarantees and/or maintenance guarantees. In a repayment guarantee, the Company and its venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral. In the event of default, if the Company’s venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, the Company may be liable for more than its proportionate share, up to its maximum recourse exposure, which is the full amount covered by the joint and several guarantee. The maintenance guarantees only apply if the value of the collateral (generally land and improvements) is less than a specified percentage of the loan balance. As of both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the Company did not have any maintenance guarantees or joint and several repayment guarantees related to its Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.
In connection with many of the loans to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, the Company and its joint venture partners (or entities related to them) have been required to give guarantees of completion to the lenders. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the construction is to be done in phases, the guarantee generally is limited to completing only the phases as to which construction has already commenced and for which loan proceeds were used.
If the Company is required to make a payment under any guarantee, the payment would constitute a capital contribution or loan to the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated entity and its share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.
As of both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the fair values of the repayment guarantees and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of
May 31, 2016
, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, most of the time the collateral should be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or the Company and its partners would contribute additional capital into the venture. In certain instances, the Company has placed performance letters of credit and surety bonds with municipalities for its joint ventures (see Note 11).

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.
All outstanding nonvested shares that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents that participate in undistributed earnings with common stock are considered participating securities and are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s restricted common stock (“nonvested shares”) are considered participating securities.

$

.
The Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and the proceeds are collected. The facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were
$
854.1
million
and
$
858.3
million
at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of
$
901.9
million
and
$
916.9
million
at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting on receivables on loans sold but not yet paid. Without the facilities, the Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.
Substantially, all of the loans the Lennar Financial Services segment originates are sold within a short period in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Over the last several years there has been an industry-wide effort by purchasers to defray their losses by purporting to have found inaccuracies related to sellers’ representations and warranties in particular loan sale agreements.
15
Mortgage investors could seek to have the Company buy back mortgage loans or compensate them for losses incurred on mortgage loans that the Company has sold based on claims that the Company breached its limited representations or warranties. The Company’s mortgage operations have established accruals for possible losses associated with mortgage loans previously originated and sold to investors. The Company establishes accruals for such possible losses based upon, among other things, an analysis of repurchase requests received, an estimate of potential repurchase claims not yet received and actual past repurchases and losses through the disposition of affected loans as well as previous settlements. While the Company believes that it has adequately reserved for known losses and projected repurchase requests, given the volatility in the mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims,
if either actual repurchases or the losses incurred resolving those repurchases exceed the Company’s expectations, additional recourse expense may be incurred. Loan origination liabilities are included in Lennar Financial Services’ liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Loans receivable, net

The nonaccrual loan portfolios consist primarily of loans acquired at a discount. In 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly
40
%
managing member equity interests in
two
limited liability companies ("LLCs") in partnership with the FDIC (“FDIC Portfolios”). The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts. At
May 31, 2016
, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of
$
280.0
million
and
$
11.3
million
, respectively. At
November 30, 2015
, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of
$
355.2
million
and
$
11.3
million
, respectively.
In addition in 2010, Rialto acquired
400
distressed residential and commercial real estate loans (“Bank Portfolios”) and over
300
REO properties from
three
financial institutions.
Based on the nature of these loans, the portfolios are managed by assessing the risks related to the likelihood of collection of payments from borrowers and guarantors, as well as monitoring the value of the underlying collateral. As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, management classified all loans receivable within the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios as nonaccrual loans as forecasted principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated and accounted for these assets in accordance with ASC 310-10,
Receivables
.
Accrual loans as of
May 31, 2016
included loans originated of which
$
18.1
million
relates to a convertible land loan that matures in July 2016 and
$
76.9

relates to floating and fixed rate commercial property loans maturing between October 2017 and October 2025.

million
and
$
115
million
for the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively.
In order to assess the risk associated with each risk category, management evaluates the forecasted cash flows and the value of the underlying collateral securing the loans receivable on a quarterly basis or when an event occurs that suggests a decline in the collateral’s fair value.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve established through provisions for loan losses charged against Rialto’s operating earnings. For nonaccrual loans, the risk relates to a decline in the value of the collateral securing the outstanding obligation. If the recorded investment in the nonaccrual loan exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized through an allowance for loan losses.

Real Estate Owned
The acquisition of properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as REO held-and-used, net and REO held-for-sale. When a property is determined to be held-and-used, net, the asset is recorded at fair value and depreciated over its useful life using the straight line method. When certain criteria set forth in ASC 360,
Property, Plant and Equipment
, are met, the property is classified as held-for-sale. When a real estate asset is classified as held-for-sale, the property is recorded at the lower of its cost basis or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of REO held-for-sale is determined in part by placing reliance on third-party appraisals of the properties and/or internally prepared analyses of recent offers or prices on comparable properties in the proximate vicinity.

Notes and Other Debts Payable
In November 2013, the Rialto segment originally issued
$
250
million
aggregate principal amount of the
7.00
%
senior notes due 2018 ("7.00% Senior Notes"), at a price of
100
%
in a private placement. In March 2014, the Rialto segment issued an additional
$
100
million
of the
7.00
%
Senior Notes, at a price of
102.25
%
of their face value in a private placement. Proceeds from the offerings, after payment of expenses, were approximately
$
347
million
. Rialto used the net proceeds of the
7.00
%
Senior Notes to provide additional working capital for RMF, and to make investments in the funds that Rialto manages, as well as for general corporate purposes. In addition, Rialto used
$
100
million
of the net proceeds to repay sums that had been advanced to RMF from Lennar to enable it to begin originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans. Interest on the
7.00
%
Senior Notes is due semi-annually. At
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of the
7.00
%
Senior Notes was
$
348.3
million
and
$
347.9
million
, respectively. Under the indenture, Rialto is subject to certain covenants limiting, among other things, Rialto’s ability to incur indebtedness, to make investments, to make distributions to or enter into transactions with Lennar or to create liens, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Rialto also has quarterly and annual reporting requirements, similar to an SEC registrant, to holders of the
7.00
%
Senior Notes. The Company believes Rialto was in compliance with its debt covenants at

8,361
9,992
During the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
, Rialto received
$
2.5
million
and
$
7.4
million
, respectively, of advance distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in its real estate funds in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds. During the
three and six months ended May 31, 2015
, Rialto received
$
4.8
million
and
$
11.3
million
of such advanced distributions. These advance distributions are not subject to clawbacks and are included in Rialto's revenues.
During 2015, Rialto adopted a Carried Interest Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), under which participating employees in the aggregate may receive up to
40
%
of the equity units of a limited liability company (a "Carried Interest Entity") that is entitled to distributions made by a fund or other investment vehicle (a "Fund") managed by a subsidiary of Rialto. As such, those employees receiving equity units in the Carried Interest Entity may benefit from distributions made by a Fund to the extent the Carried Interest Entity makes distributions to its equity holders. The units issued to employees are equity awards and are subject to vesting schedules and forfeiture or repurchase provisions in the case of a termination of employment.

4.0
%
, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and February 2026, and stated maturity dates between November 2048 and March 2059. The Rialto segment reviews changes in estimated cash flows periodically to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on its CMBS. Based on the Rialto segment’s assessment,
no
impairment charges were recorded during either the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
or
2015
. The Rialto segment classified these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.
In 2014, the Rialto segment invested

The unconsolidated entities in which the Lennar Multifamily segment has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In connection with many of the loans to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, the Company (or entities related to them) has been required to give guarantees of completion and cost over-runs to the lenders and partners. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the construction is to be done in phases, the guarantee generally is limited to completing only the phases as to which construction has already commenced and for which loan proceeds were used. Additionally, the Company guarantees the construction costs of the project as construction cost over-runs would be paid by the Company. Generally, these payments would be increases to the Company's investment in the entities and would increase its share of funds the entities distribute after the achievement of certain thresholds. As of both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. Additionally, as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the Lennar Multifamily segment had
$
39.5
million
and
$
37.9
million
, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding primarily for credit enhancements for the bank debt of certain of its unconsolidated entities and deposits on land purchase contracts. These letters of credit outstanding are included in the disclosure in Note 11 related to the Company's performance and financial letters of credit. As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, Lennar Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of
$
578.7
million
and
$
466.7
million
, respectively.
In many instances, the Lennar Multifamily segment is appointed as the construction, development and property manager for certain of its Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities and receives fees for performing this function. During the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
, the Lennar Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of
$
9.3
million
and
$
17.4
million
, respectively. During the
three and six months ended May 31, 2015
, the Lennar Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of
$
3.9
million
and
$
8.4
million
, respectively.
The Lennar Multifamily segment also provides general contractor services for construction of some of the rental properties owned by unconsolidated entities in which the Company has an investment. During the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
, the Lennar Multifamily segment provided general contractor services totaling
$
53.5
million
and
$
84.9
million
, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of
$
51.7
million
and
$
82.3
million
, resp
ectively.
During the
three and six months ended May 31, 2015
, the Lennar Multifamily segment provided general contractor services totaling
$
35.1
million
and
$
67.0
million
, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of
$
33.7
million
and
$
65.1
million
, respectively.
In 2015, the Lennar Multifamily segment completed the initial closing of the Lennar Multifamily Venture (the "Venture") for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets with
$
1.1
billion
of commitments. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, the Venture received an additional
$
300
million
of equity commitments, increasing its total equity commitments to
$
1.4
billion
, including a
$
504
million
co-investment commitment by Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. As of
May 31, 2016
,
$
500.0
million
of the
$
1.4
billion
in equity commitments had been called, of which the Company has contributed
$
179.5
million
representing its pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment of
$
324.5
million
. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
,
$
224.6
million
in equity commitments was called, of which the Company contributed its portion of
$
90.1
million
. During the
six months ended
23
May 31, 2016
, the Company received distributions of
$
43.6
million
as a return of capital from the Venture. As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the carrying value of the Company's investment in the Venture was
$
172.5
million
and
$
122.5
million
, respectively. Subsequent to
May 31, 2016
, the Venture received an additional
$
550
million
of equity commitments, increasing its total equity commitments to approximately
$
2
billion
.

, as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively.
At
May 31, 2016
, the Company had a
$
1.6
billion
Credit Facility, which includes a
$
163
million
accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, with certain financial institutions. The maturity for
$
1.3
billion
of the Credit Facility was in June 2019, with the remainder maturing in June 2018. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit agreement also provides that up to
$
500
million
in commitments may be used for letters of credit. Under the Credit Facility agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio and either a liquidity or an interest coverage ratio. These ratios are calculated per the Credit Facility agreement, which involves adjustments to GAAP financial measures. The Company believes it was in compliance with its debt covenants at
May 31, 2016
. In addition, the Company had
$
320
million
letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.
Subsequent to
May 31, 2016
, the Company amended the credit agreement governing its Credit Facility to increase the maximum borrowings from
$
1.6
billion
to
$
1.8
billion
, including a
$
318
million
accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, with certain financial institutions. The maturity for
$
1.3
billion
of the Credit Facility was extended from June 2019 to June 2020 with the remaining
$
160
million
maturing in June 2018.
The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were
$
270.8
million
and
$
236.5
million
, respectively, at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were
$
216.6
million
and
$
216.7
million
, at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee the Company’s performance of certain development and construction activities. Financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at
May 31, 2016
, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of
$
1.3
billion
including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects in the Company’s joint ventures) and financial surety bonds including
$
223.4
million
related to pending litigation. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. As of
May 31, 2016
, there were approximately
$
468.4
million
, or
36
%
, of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. The Company does not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any such draws occur, the Company does not believe they would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2016, the Company issued
$
500
million
aggregate principal amount of
4.750
%
senior notes due 2021 (the “
4.750
%
Senior Notes”) at a price of
100
%
. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were
$
496.0
million
. The Company used the net proceeds from the sales of the
4.750
%
Senior Notes to retire its
6.50
%
senior notes due April 2016 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Interest on the
4.750
%
Senior Notes is due semi-
25
annually beginning October 1, 2016. The
4.750
%
Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.
The
3.25
%
convertible senior notes due 2021 (the “
3.25
%
Convertible Senior Notes”) are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time prior to maturity or redemption at the initial conversion rate of
42.5555
shares of Class A common stock per
$1,000
principal amount of the
3.25
%
Convertible Senior Notes or
17,022,200
shares of Class A common stock if all the
3.25
%
Convertible Senior Notes are converted, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately
$
23.50
per share of Class A common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, holders converted approximately
$
68
million
in aggregate principal amount of the
3.25
%
Convertible Senior Notes for
2.9
million
shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the conversions and small cash premiums. At
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the principal amount of the
3.25
%
Convertible Senior Notes was
$
332.5
million
and
$
400.0
million
, respectively. The
3.25
%
Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.
Subsequent to
May 31, 2016
, holders converted approximately
$
137
million
aggregate principal amount of the
3.25
%
Convertible Senior Notes for
5.8
million
shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the conversions and small cash premiums.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, all of the
$
234
million
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
2.75
%
convertible senior notes due 2020 (the “
2.75
%
Convertible Senior Notes”) were converted and exchanged by the holders for approximately
$
234
million
in cash and
5.2
million
shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the exchanges. The
2.75
%
Convertible Senior Notes were convertible into cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of both, at the Company’s election. However, the Company settled the face value of the
2.75
%
Convertible Senior Notes in cash. Holders converted the
2.75
%
Convertible Senior Notes at the initial conversion rate of
45.1794
shares of Class A common stock per
$1,000
principal amount, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately
$
22.13
per share of Class A common stock. For the three and

Product Warranty
Warranty and similar reserves for homes are established at an amount estimated to be adequate to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a home. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. The Company regularly monitors the warranty reserve and makes adjustments to its pre-existing warranties in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Warranty reserves are included in Lennar Homebuilding other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:
Rialto
—The fair values for loans receivable, net are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated cost to sell or discounted cash flows, if estimable. The fair value for investments held-to-maturity is based on discounted cash flows. For notes and other debts payable, the fair value is calculated based on discounted cash flows using the Company’s weighted average borrowing rate and for the warehouse repurchase financing agreements fair values approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturities.
Lennar Financial Services
—The fair values above are based on quoted market prices, if available. The fair values for instruments that do not have quoted market prices are estimated by the Company on the basis of discounted cash flows or other financial information. For notes and other debts payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and short-term nature of the borrowings.
Lennar Homebuilding
—For senior notes and other debts payable, the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings is based on quoted market prices and the fair value of variable-rate borrowings is based on expected future cash flows calculated using current market forward rates.

Fair Value Measurements:
GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value summarized as follows:
Level 1: Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2: Fair value determined using significant other observable inputs.
Level 3: Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments have been determined by using available market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:
Rialto loans held-for-sale
- The fair value of loans held-for-sale is calculated from model-based techniques that use discounted cash flow assumptions and the Company’s own estimates of CMBS spreads, market interest rate movements and the underlying loan credit quality. Loan values are calculated by allocating the change in value of an assumed CMBS capital structure to each loan. The value of an assumed CMBS capital structure is calculated, generally, by discounting the cash flows associated with each CMBS class at market interest rates and at the Company’s own estimate of CMBS spreads. The Company estimates CMBS spreads by observing the pricing of recent CMBS offerings, secondary CMBS markets, changes in the CMBX index, and general capital and commercial real estate market conditions. Considerations in estimating CMBS spreads include comparing the Company’s current loan portfolio with comparable CMBS offerings containing loans with similar duration, credit quality and collateral composition. These methods use unobservable inputs in estimating a discount rate that is used to assign a value to each loan. While the cash payments on the loans are contractual, the discount rate used and assumptions regarding the relative size of each class in the CMBS capital structure can significantly impact the valuation. Therefore, the estimates used could differ materially from the fair value determined when the loans are sold to a securitization trust.
Rialto credit default swaps
- The fair value of credit default swaps (derivatives) is based on quoted market prices for similar investments traded in active markets.
Rialto interest rate swaps and swap futures
- The fair value of interest rate swaps (derivatives) is based on observable values for underlying interest rates and market determined risk premiums. The fair value of interest rate swap futures (derivatives) is based on quoted market prices for identical investments traded in active markets.
Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale-
Fair value is based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices for other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. Management believes carrying loans held-
28
for-sale at fair value improves financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring the fair value of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of these servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.
Lennar Financial Services investments available-for-sale-
The fair value of these investments is based on the quoted market prices for similar financial instruments.
Lennar Financial Services mortgage loan commitments-
Fair value of commitments to originate loans is based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Lennar Financial Services segment has committed to originate the loans. The fair value of commitments to sell loan contracts is the estimated amount that the Lennar Financial Services segment would receive or pay to terminate the commitments at the reporting date based on market prices for similar financial instruments. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics. The fair value of the mortgage loan commitments and related servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services’ other assets.
Lennar Financial Services forward contracts-
Fair value is based on quoted market prices for similar financial instruments. The fair value of forward contracts is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other liabilities as of
May 31, 2016
. The fair value of forward contracts is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other assets as of
November 30, 2015
.
The Lennar Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) forward commitments, option contracts and investor commitments to hedge its mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting the Company’s counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting the Company’s credit standards. The segment’s risk, in the event of default by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and option contracts. At
May 31, 2016
, the segment had open commitments amounting to
$
1.2
billion
to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through August 2016.
Lennar Financial Services mortgage servicing rights -
Lennar Financial Services records mortgage servicing rights when it sells loans on a servicing-retained basis or through the acquisition or assumption of the right to service a financial asset. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated using third-party valuations. The key assumptions, which are generally unobservable inputs, used in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights include mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates. As of
May 31, 2016
, the key assumptions used in determining the fair value include a
14.8
%
mortgage prepayment rate, a
12.3
%
discount rate and a
6.6
%
delinquency rate. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other assets.

Finished homes and construction in progress are included within inventories. Inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. The Company disclosed its accounting policy related to inventories and its review for indicators of impairments in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2015.
The Company estimates the fair value of inventory evaluated for impairment based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the inventory is evaluated, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or assumptions change. For example, changes in market conditions and other specific developments or changes in assumptions may cause the Company to re-evaluate its strategy regarding previously impaired inventory, as well as inventory not currently impaired but for which indicators of impairment may arise if market deterioration occurs, and certain other assets that could result in further valuation adjustments and/or additional write-offs of option deposits and pre-acquisition costs due to abandonment of those options contracts.
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its active communities for indicators of potential impairments. As of
May 31, 2016
and
2015
, there were
689
and
665
active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, respectively. As of
May 31, 2016
, the Company identified
20
communities with
652
homesites and a corresponding carrying value of
$
116.0
million
as having potential indicators of impairment. For the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, the Company recorded no impairments.
As of
May 31, 2015
, the Company identified
21
communities with
790
homesites and a corresponding carrying value of
$
160.3
million
as having potential indicators of impairment. Of those communities, the Company recorded a valuation adjustment of
$

The Company’s recorded investments in unconsolidated entities were as follows:

Consolidated VIEs
As of
May 31, 2016
, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were
$
645.1
million
and
$
146.5
million
, respectively. As of
November 30, 2015
, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were
$
652.3
million
and
$
84.4
million
, respectively. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the VIEs, not the Company.
A VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of that VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of the Company’s senior notes and other debts payable. The assets held by a VIE usually are collateral for that VIE’s debt. The Company and other
32
partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to a VIE unless the Company and/or the other partner(s) have entered into debt guarantees with a VIE’s banks. Other than debt guarantee agreements with a VIE’s banks, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to a VIE. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts.

At
May 31, 2016
, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to
$
31.0
million
repayment guarantee on an unconsolidated entity's debt. At
November 30, 2015
, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to
$
8.3
million
remaining commitment to fund an unconsolidated entity for further expenses up until the unconsolidated entity obtains permanent financing.

At both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of Rialto’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. At
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, investments in unconsolidated VIEs and Lennar’s maximum exposure to loss included
$
60.1
million
and
$
25.6
million
, respectively, related to Rialto’s investments held-to-maturity.
(3)
As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the remaining equity commitment of
$
324.5
million
and
$
378.3
million
, respectively, to fund the Venture for future expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects is included in Lennar's maximum exposure to loss. In addition, at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to
$
29.1
million
and
$
30.0
million
, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding for certain of the unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements.
While these entities are VIEs, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance is generally shared and the Company and its partners are not de facto agents. While the Company generally manages the day-to-day operations of the VIEs, each of these VIEs has an executive committee made up of representatives from each partner. The members of the executive committee have equal votes and major decisions require unanimous consent and approval from all members. The Company does not have the unilateral ability to exercise participating voting rights without partner consent.
As of
May 31, 2016
, the Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs, except for
$
324.5
million
remaining equity commitment to fund the Venture for further expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects and
$
29.1
million
of letters of credit outstanding for certain Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements. In addition, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to the VIEs, except with regard to
$
31.0
million
repayment guarantee on an unconsolidated entity's debt. Except for the unconsolidated VIEs discussed above, the Company and the other partners did not guarantee any debt of the other unconsolidated VIEs. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its unconsolidated VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts.
33
Option Contracts
The Company has access to land through option contracts, which generally enables it to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land funds) and unconsolidated entities until the Company has determined whether to exercise the option.
The Company evaluates all option contracts for land to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Although the Company does not have legal title to the optioned land, if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or makes a significant deposit for optioned land, it may need to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, consolidated inventory not owned increased by
$
75.7
million
with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
May 31, 2016
. The increase was primarily related to the consolidation of an option agreement, partially offset by the Company exercising its option to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, the Company had a net reclass related to option deposits from land under development to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
May 31, 2016
. The liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned primarily represent the difference between the option exercise prices for the optioned land and the Company’s cash deposits.
The Company’s exposure to loss related to its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of its non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling
$
83.4
million
and
$
89.2
million
at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively. Additionally, the Company had posted
$
73.9
million
and
$
70.4
million
of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively.
(16)
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company has been engaged in litigation since 2008 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland regarding whether the Company is required by a contract it entered into in 2005 to purchase a property in Maryland. After entering into the contract, the Company later renegotiated the purchase price, reducing it from
$
200
million
to
$
134
million
,
$
20
million
of which has been paid and subsequently written off, leaving a balance of
$
114
million
. In January 2015, the District Court rendered a decision ordering the Company to purchase the property for the
$
114
million
balance of the contract price, to pay interest at the rate of
12
%
per annum from May 27, 2008, and to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes the decision is contrary to applicable law and has appealed the decision. The Company does not believe it is probable that a loss has occurred and, therefore, no liability has been recorded with respect to this case.
If the District Court decision is affirmed in its entirety, the Company will purchase the property and record it at fair value, which the Company believes will not result in an impairment. The amount of interest the Company will be required to pay has been the subject of further proceedings before the court. On June 29, 2015, the court ruled that interest will be calculated as simple interest at the rate of
12
%
per annum from May 27, 2008 until the date the Company purchases the property. Simple interest on
$
114
million
at
12
%
per annum will accrue at the rate of
$
13.7
million
per year, totaling approximately
$
109
million
as of
May 31, 2016
. In addition, if the Company is required to purchase the property, it will be obligated to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes, which currently total
$
1.6
million
. The Company has not engaged in discovery regarding the amount of the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. If the District Court decision is totally reversed on appeal, the Company will not have to purchase the property or pay interest, real estate taxes or attorneys’ fees.
In its June 29, 2015 ruling, the District Court determined that the Company will be permitted to stay the judgment during appeal by posting a bond in the amount of
$
223.4
million
related to pending litigation. The District Court calculated this amount by adding
12
%
per annum simple interest to the
$
114
million
purchase price for the period beginning May 27, 2008 through May 26, 2016, the date the District Court estimated the appeal of the case would be concluded.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
(“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date; therefore, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The Company has the option to apply the provisions of ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several ASUs such as ASU 2016-08,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)
, ASU 2016-09,
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
, and ASU 2016-12,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients
among others. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2014-09, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the revenue standard. These ASUs will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of these ASUs and ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02,
Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis
(“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 amends the consolidation requirements and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required. ASU 2015-02 requires management to reevaluate all legal entities under a revised consolidation model specifically (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnership and similar legal entities are VIEs, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and (iv) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05,
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers' Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
(“ASU 2015-05”). ASU 2015-05 provides guidance for a customer to determine whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license or should be accounted for as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. As permitted, the Company has elected early adoption. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16,
Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments
(“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,
Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities will have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicality exception. A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements
, and as such these investments may be measured at cost. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent
35
interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases
(“ASU 2016-02”), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. The lease classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest rate method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Accounting for lessors remains largely unchanged from current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2019 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07,
Investments- Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting
(“ASU 2016-07”). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
(“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

million
principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation, those subsidiaries must also guarantee Lennar Corporation’s obligations with regard to its senior notes. The entities referred to as “guarantors” in the following tables are subsidiaries that are not finance company subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries and were guaranteeing the senior notes because at
May 31, 2016
they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, disclosed in Note 11. The guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% directly or indirectly owned by Lennar Corporation. A subsidiary's guarantee will be suspended at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least
$
75
million
principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation, and a subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of.
For purposes of the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows included in the following supplemental financial information, the Company's accounting policy is to treat cash received by Lennar Corporation (“the Parent”) from its subsidiaries, to the extent of net earnings from such subsidiaries as a dividend and accordingly a return on investment within cash flows from operating activities. Distributions of capital received by the Parent from its subsidiaries are reflected as cash flows from investing activities. The cash outflows associated with the return on investment dividends and distributions of capital received by the Parent are reflected by the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries in the Dividends line item within cash flows from financing activities. All other cash flows between the Parent and its subsidiaries represent the settlement of receivables and payables between such entities in conjunction with the Parent's centralized cash management arrangement with its subsidiaries, which operates with the characteristics of a revolving credit facility, and are accordingly reflected net in the Intercompany line item within cash flows from investing activities for the Parent and net in the Intercompany line item within cash flows from financing activities for the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries.

Item 2.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Item 1 of this Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for our fiscal year ended
November 30, 2015
.
Some of the statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements contained herein may include opinions formed based upon general observations, anecdotal evidence and industry experience, but that are not supported by specific investigation or analysis. These statements concern expectations, beliefs, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include statements regarding: our belief regarding the homebuilding market over the next few years, including that the housing market will continue its slow and steady recovery, and that the new home market continues to have significant pent-up demand; our expectation that we will see lower gross margins in 2016; our expectation that we plan to continue to identify and invest in land opportunities that we expect will drive our future growth and profitability; our belief that we are well positioned across all of our platforms for another year of strong profits in fiscal 2016; our belief that our main driver of earnings will continue to be our Homebuilding and Lennar Financial Services operations; our belief that we are currently positioned to deliver between 26,500 and 27,000 homes in fiscal 2016; our expectation regarding the Lennar Multifamily segment’s development pipeline, and plans regarding the Multifamily Venture; our expectation regarding variability in our quarterly results; our expectations regarding the renewal or replacement of our warehouse facilities; our belief regarding draws upon our bonds or letters of credit, and our belief regarding the impact to the Company if there were such a draw; our belief that our operations and borrowing resources will provide for our current and long-term capital requirements at our anticipated levels of activity; our belief regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved, and, in particular, our belief that the Court’s decision in the Settlers Crossing case is contrary to applicable law; and our estimates regarding certain tax and accounting matters, including our expectations regarding the result of anticipated settlements with various taxing authorities and our expectations regarding the energy efficient home and solar energy property tax credits.
These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We wish to caution readers that certain important factors may have affected and could in the future affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The most important factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals, and cause the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements and the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: our ability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities at anticipated prices; increases in operating costs, including costs related to real estate taxes, construction materials, labor and insurance, and our ability to manage our cost structure, both in our Homebuilding and Lennar Multifamily businesses; unfavorable outcomes in legal proceedings that substantially exceed our expectations, including an unfavorable outcome in the Settlers Crossing case; a slowdown in the recovery of real estate markets across the nation, or any downturn in such markets; changes in general economic and financial conditions, and demographic trends, in the U.S. leading to decreased demand for our services and homes, lower profit margins and reduced access to credit; the possibility that we will incur nonrecurring costs that may not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, but may have a material adverse effect on our condensed financial statements for a particular reporting period; decreased demand for our Lennar Multifamily rental properties, and our ability to successfully sell our rental properties; the ability of our Financial Services segment to maintain or increase its capture rate and benefit from Lennar home deliveries; our ability to successfully execute our strategies, including strategies related to our soft-pivot and reinvigorating technologies in our business; increased competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets, including mortgage lending standards, the availability of mortgage financing and mortgage foreclosure rates; changes in interest and unemployment rates, and inflation; a decline in the value of the land and home inventories we maintain or possible future write-downs of the carrying value of our real estate assets; our ability to successfully develop multifamily assets in the Multifamily Venture; our inability to maintain anticipated pricing levels and our inability to predict the effect of interest rates on demand; the ability and willingness of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; our ability to successfully and timely obtain land-use entitlements and construction financing, and address issues that arise in connection with the use and development of our land; natural disasters and other unforeseen damage for which our insurance may not provide adequate coverage; our inability to successfully grow our ancillary businesses; the inability of Rialto to sell mortgages it originates into securitizations on favorable terms; potential liability under environmental or construction laws, or other laws or regulations affecting our business; regulatory changes that adversely affect the profitability of our businesses; our ability to comply with the terms of our debt instruments, our ability to refinance our debt on terms that are acceptable to us; and our ability to successfully estimate the impact of certain regulatory, accounting and tax matters, including whether we will continue to benefit from the energy efficient home and solar energy property tax credits.
45
Please see our Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015 and other filings with the SEC for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties which could also affect our future results. We undertake no obligation to publicly 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.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other portions of this Report contain statements of opinion or belief regarding market conditions and similar matters. In many instances those opinions and beliefs are based upon general observations by members of our management, anecdotal evidence and our experience in the conduct of our businesses, without specific investigation or statistical analyses. Therefore, while they reflect our view of the industries and markets in which we are involved, they should not be viewed as reflecting verifiable views that are necessarily shared by all who are involved in those industries or markets.
Outlook
We continue to believe that the low inventory levels in existing and new homes, and the low vacancy rates paired with high rental rates for apartments indicate that we are in short supply of housing inventory nationally. It is important to note that the housing market is composed of a large number of local markets, each with different dynamics, that are grouped together to analyze the national market.
We believe the new home market continues to have significant pent-up demand, and that the housing market is continuing its slow and steady recovery sustained by stronger general economic conditions, low interest rates, modest wage growth, positive consumer confidence and low unemployment levels combined with tight inventory levels. We expect that demand will continue to build and come to the market over the next few years and that it should drive increased production as the deficit in the housing stock ultimately needs to be replenished. Nevertheless, land and labor shortages will continue to be limiting factors and will constrain supply and restrict the ability to quickly respond to growing demand, while the mortgage market and higher rents will continue to constrain that demand. We expect that these conditions will continue to result in a slow and steady, though sometimes erratic, positive homebuilding market.
As this year’s spring selling season improved over last year, our second quarter, net earnings increased 19% on a 15% increase in revenues, compared to the second quarter of 2015. Our second quarter new orders increased 10% to 7,962 homes year-over-year, while our home deliveries and home sales revenue also increased to 6,724 homes and $2.4 billion, respectively. As the recovery has continued to mature, we have remained focused on our strategy of moderating our growth rate in community count and home sales, as well as on our soft pivot land strategy, targeting land acquisitions with a shorter average life.
Our core homebuilding segment continued to produce strong operating results in the second quarter of 2016 as our operating margin was 13.9%, a 10 basis point improvement from the same period last year, notwithstanding a lower gross margin in the quarter, as expected. Our homebuilding divisions continued to benefit from their focus on migrating from traditional to digital marketing, which helped reduce S,G&A as a percentage of home sales revenues to 9.3%, the lowest second quarter percentage in our history. As we continue our strategy of infusing and reinvigorating technologies throughout various aspects of our business, we look forward to additional opportunities that lie ahead.
Complementing our homebuilding segment, we also had strong performances from most of our other business segments during the second quarter of 2016. Our Lennar Financial Services segment reported earnings of $44.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, a 13% increase from the same period last year, primarily due to higher profit per transaction in its mortgage and title operations. For the third consecutive quarter, our Multifamily segment generated positive earnings. During the second quarter of 2016, earnings were $14.9 million primarily due to the sale of one completed rental property by one of its joint ventures and a third-party land sale.
Our Rialto segment continued to grow despite the combination of turmoil in the CMBS markets earlier in the year and a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables relating to a single asset that was acquired through the resolution of one of Rialto’s loans from a 2010 portfolio. During the second quarter, our investment management platform increased assets under management and profitability, while our Rialto Mortgage Finance (“RMF”) business continued to be a market leader in securitization margins and has seen an increase in its origination volumes, which improved sequentially from the first quarter.
In fiscal 2016, our principal focus in our homebuilding operations will continue to be on generating strong operating margins on the homes we sell by delivering homes from what we believe are favorable land positions and by benefiting from our focus on migrating from traditional to digital marketing. We expect to continue to see lower gross margins in 2016 compared to 2015 due to cost increases outpacing sales price increases, competitive pressures and the start of development of some additional previously inactive land assets. Consistent with our soft-pivot land strategy, we plan to continue to identify and invest in unique and enticing land opportunities that we expect will drive our future growth and profitability.
46
We expect that our Company’s main driver of earnings will continue to be our homebuilding and financial services operations as we believe we are currently positioned to deliver between 26,500 and 27,000 homes in fiscal 2016. We believe we are well positioned across all of our platforms for another year of strong profits in fiscal 2016.
(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, 2016
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 fiscal quarter and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, periods of economic downturn in the industry, such as we experienced several years ago, can alter seasonal patterns.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2016
versus
Three Months Ended May 31, 2015
Revenues from home sales increased
17%
in the
second quarter of 2016
to
$2.4 billion
from
$2.1 billion
in the
second quarter of 2015
. Revenues were higher primarily due to a
12%
increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a
4%
increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to
6,711
homes in the
second quarter of 2016
from
5,989
homes in the
second quarter of 2015
. There was an increase in home deliveries in all our Homebuilding segments, except in Homebuilding Houston and in Homebuilding Other. This increase in home deliveries was primarily driven by an increase in active communities over the last year. The decrease in home deliveries in Houston was primarily due to less demand driven by volatility in the energy sector. The decrease in home deliveries in Homebuilding Other was primarily due to a higher mix of start-up communities, which are earlier in the life cycle of delivering homes than non start-up communities. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to
$362,000
in the
second quarter of 2016
from
$348,000
in the
second quarter of 2015
, primarily due to product mix (selling at different price points) and increased pricing in certain of our markets due to favorable market conditions. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were
$21,800
per home delivered in the
second quarter of 2016
, or
5.7%
as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to
$21,500
per home delivered in the
second quarter of 2015
, or
5.8%
as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $21,600 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2016, or 5.6% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were
$561.5 million
, or
23.1%
, in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$495.9 million
, or
23.8%
, in the
second quarter of 2015
. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to the
second quarter of 2015
primarily due to an increase in land costs, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$224.8 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$209.0 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to
9.3%
in the
second quarter of 2016
, from
10.0%
in the
second quarter of 2015
, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries and benefits from our focus on digital marketing.
Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was
($9.6) million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$6.5 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. In the
second quarter of 2016
, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination. This was partially offset by
$6.7 million
of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of homesites to third parties. In the
second quarter of 2015
, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included
$11.6 million
of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities primarily due to the sale of a commercial property and homesites to third parties, partially offset by our share of net operating losses from various unconsolidated entities.
Lennar Homebuilding other income (expense), net, was
$14.9 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
($0.2) million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. Other income, net, in the second quarter of 2016 was primarily related to a profit participation received by one of Lennar Homebuilding's consolidated joint ventures.
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was
$63.9 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
(
$62.1 million
was included in costs of homes sold,
$0.6 million
in costs of land sold and
$1.2 million
in other interest expense), compared to
$57.7 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
(
$53.2 million
was included in costs of homes sold,
$0.6 million
in costs of land sold and
$3.8 million
in other interest expense). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in our outstanding homebuilding debt and an increase in home deliveries.
Operating earnings for our Lennar Financial Services segment were
$44.1 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$39.1 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. The increase in profitability was primarily due to higher profit per transaction in our segment's mortgage and title operations.
Operating loss for our Rialto segment was
$13.8 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
(which included an
$18.1 million
operating loss and an add back of
$4.3 million
of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The operating loss in the second quarter included a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to a hospital, which was acquired through the resolution of one of Rialto's loans from a 2010 portfolio. The hospital is managed by a third-party management company.
Operating earnings for
second quarter of 2015
were
$7.6 million
(which included
$6.9 million
of operating earnings and an add back of
$0.7 million
of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests).
Rialto revenues were
$44.8 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$67.9 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. Revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease in RMF securitization revenues due to lower securitization volume and margins. During the
second quarter of 2016
and
2015
, Rialto received
$2.5 million
and
$4.8 million
, respectively, of advanced distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in its real estate funds (the "Funds") in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds.
Rialto expenses were
$50.2 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$67.5 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. Expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses and a decrease in securitization expenses related to RMF.
48
Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was
$6.9 million
and
$7.3 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
and
2015
, respectively, related to Rialto's share of earnings from the Funds.
Rialto other expense, net, was
$19.6 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$0.9 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. In the second quarter of 2016, Rialto other expense, net, included a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to the hospital.
Operating earnings for our Lennar Multifamily segment were
$14.9 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to an operating loss of
$8.7 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. The increase in profitability was primarily due to the segment's
$15.4 million
share of a gain as a result of the sale of an operating property by one of Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and gross profit of
$5.2 million
on a third-party land sale.
Corporate general and administrative expenses were
$55.8 million
, or
2.0%
as a percentage of total revenues, in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$50.2 million
, or
2.1%
as a percentage of total revenues, in the
second quarter of 2015
. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses improved due to increased operating leverage.
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were
$5.6 million
and
$1.6 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
and
2015
, respectively. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the
second quarter of 2016
were primarily attributable to earnings related to Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures, partially offset by a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the
second quarter of 2015
were primarily attributable to a strategic transaction by one of Lennar Homebuilding's consolidated joint ventures that impacted noncontrolling interests by $2.3 million, partially offset by a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC.
In the
second quarter of 2016
and
2015
, we had a tax provision of
$103.8 million
and
$95.2 million
, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were
32.21%
and
34.22%
in the
second quarter of 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The effective tax rate for both the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 included tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expense. During the first quarter of 2016, tax legislation was passed extending the new energy efficient home credit through 2016, as well as extending the 30% investment tax credit for solar energy property through 2022. Both of these tax credits benefited and we expect will continue to benefit our effective tax rate.
Six Months Ended May 31, 2016
versus
Six Months Ended May 31, 2015
Revenues from home sales increased
20%
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
to
$4.2 billion
from
$3.5 billion
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. Revenues were higher primarily due to a
12%
increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a
7%
increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to
11,517
homes in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
from
10,290
homes in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of our Homebuilding segments, except in Homebuilding Houston. The decrease in home deliveries in Houston was primarily due to less demand driven by volatility in the energy sector. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to
$363,000
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
from $
339,000
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, primarily due to increased pricing in certain of our markets due to favorable market conditions. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were
$21,700
per home delivered in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, or
5.6%
as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to
$21,600
per home delivered in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, or
6.0%
as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were
$960.5 million
, or
23.0%
, in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$820.6 million
, or
23.5%
, in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to the
six months ended May 31, 2015
primarily due to an increase in land costs, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$414.6 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$369.4 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to
9.9%
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, from
10.6%
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries and benefits from our focus on digital marketing.
Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was
($6.6) million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$35.4 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. In the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination. This was partially offset by
$12.7 million
of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of homesites to third parties. In the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included
$43.0 million
of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities
49
primarily due to sales of homesites and a commercial property to third parties, partially offset by our share of net operating losses from various unconsolidated entities.
Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, totaled
$15.4 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$6.1 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. In the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, other income, net, included a profit participation received by one of Lennar Homebuilding's consolidated joint ventures. In the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, other income, net, included a $6.5 million gain on the sale of an operating property.
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was
$109.1 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
(
$105.4 million
was included in costs of homes sold,
$1.3 million
in costs of land sold and
$2.4 million
in other interest expense), compared to
$95.7 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
(
$86.8 million
was included in costs of homes sold,
$1.0 million
in costs of land sold and
$7.9 million
in other interest expense). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in our outstanding homebuilding debt and an increase in home deliveries.
Operating earnings for our Lennar Financial Services segment were
$59.0 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$54.6 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. The increase in profitability was primarily due to higher profit per transaction in the segment's mortgage and title operations.
Operating loss for our Rialto segment was
$11.8 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
(which included a
$16.5 million
operating loss and an add back of
$4.6 million
of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The operating loss in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
included a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to the hospital. Operating earnings in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
were
$12.2 million
(which included
$9.7 million
of operating earnings and an add back of
$2.5 million
of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests).
Rialto revenues were
$88.5 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$109.1 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. Revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease in RMF securitization revenues due to lower securitization volume and margins. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, Rialto received
$7.4 million
and
$11.3 million
, respectively, of advanced distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in the Funds in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds.
Rialto expenses were
$93.1 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$108.3 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. Expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses and a decrease in securitization expenses related to RMF.
Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was
$8.4 million
and
$10.0 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively, related to Rialto's share of earnings from the Funds. The decrease in equity in earnings was primarily related to mark downs of certain assets in the Funds and smaller net increases in the fair value of certain assets in the Funds in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
than in the same period last year.
Rialto other expense, net, was
$20.3 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$1.1 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. In the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, Rialto other expense, net, included a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to the hospital.
Operating earnings for our Lennar Multifamily segment were
$27.1 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to an operating loss of
$14.4 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. The increase in profitability was primarily related to the segment's
$35.8 million
share of gains as a result of the sale of two operating properties by Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and gross profit of
$5.2 million
on a third-party land sale.
Corporate general and administrative expenses were
$103.5 million
, or
2.2%
as a percentage of total revenues, in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to
$93.9 million
, or
2.3%
as a percentage of total revenues, in the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses improved due to increased operating leverage.
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were
$6.9 million
and
$3.5 million
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the
six months ended May 31, 2016
were primarily attributable to earnings related to Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures, partially offset by a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the
six months ended May 31, 2015
were primarily attributable to a strategic transaction by one of Lennar Homebuilding's consolidated joint ventures that impacted noncontrolling interests by $2.3 million and earnings related to consolidated joint ventures.
In the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, we had a tax provision of
$160.0 million
and
$155.0 million
, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were
30.62%
and
34.21%
in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The reduction is primarily the result of the reversal of an accrual due to a settlement with the IRS in the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, which reduced our effective tax rate by 2.12%. We do not anticipate similar settlements during the
50
remainder of fiscal 2016. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, tax legislation was passed extending the new energy efficient home credit through 2016, as well as extending the 30% investment tax credit for solar energy property through 2022. Both of these tax credits benefited and we expect will continue to benefit our effective tax rate.
Homebuilding Segments
We have aggregated our homebuilding activities into four reportable segments, which we refer to as Homebuilding East, Homebuilding Central, Homebuilding West, and Homebuilding Houston, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. Information about homebuilding activities in states that do not have economic characteristics that are similar to those in other states in the same geographic area is grouped under “Homebuilding Other,” which is not a reportable segment. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to homebuilding segments are to those reportable segments.
In the first quarter of 2016, we made the decision to divide the Southeast Florida operating division into two operating segments to maximize operational efficiencies given the continued growth of the division. As a result of this change in management structure, we re-evaluated our reportable segments and determined that neither operating segment met the reportable criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280,
Segment Reporting
. We aggregated these operating segments into the Homebuilding East reportable segment as these divisions exhibit similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding East. All prior year segment information has been restated to conform with the 2016 presentation. The change in the reportable segments has no effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.
At
May 31, 2016
, our reportable homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other consisted of homebuilding divisions located in:
East:
Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia
Central:
Arizona, Colorado and Texas
(1)
West:
California and Nevada
Houston
: Houston, Texas
Other:
Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington
(1)
Texas in the Central reportable segment excludes Houston, Texas, which is its own reportable segment
.

Backlog represents the number of homes under sales contracts. Homes are sold using sales contracts, which are generally accompanied by sales deposits. In some instances, purchasers are permitted to cancel sales if they fail to qualify for financing or under certain other circumstances. We do not recognize revenue on homes under sales contracts until the sales are closed and title passes to the new homeowners.
We experienced cancellation rates in our homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other as follows:

Three Months Ended
May 31, 2016
versus Three Months Ended
May 31, 2015
Homebuilding East:
Revenues from home sales increased for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
compared to the
three months ended May 31, 2015
, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in land and direct construction costs per home, partially offset by an increase in average sales price of homes delivered and a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales.
Homebuilding Central:
Revenues from home sales increased for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
compared to the
three months ended May 31, 2015
, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment and an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in the segment, except for Texas, excluding Houston. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by an increase in active communities over the last year and/or driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to a change in product mix and because we have been able to increase the sales prices in certain of our communities due to favorable market conditions. The decrease in the average sales price in Texas, excluding Houston, was primarily due to a change in product mix resulting from the timing of deliveries in certain communities. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in land costs per home, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered and a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales.
Homebuilding West:
Revenues from home sales increased for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
compared to the
three months ended May 31, 2015
, primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in the segment and an increase in the number of home deliveries in California, partially offset by a decrease in the number of home deliveries in Nevada. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to a change in product mix and because we have been able to increase the sales prices in certain of our communities due to favorable market conditions. The increase in the number of home deliveries in California was primarily driven by an increase in active communities over the last year and/or driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased.
57
The decrease in the number of deliveries in Nevada was primarily due to less demand in higher-end communities as the number of home deliveries per active community decreased over the last year. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in land costs per home and an increase in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.
Homebuilding Houston:
Revenues from home sales remained consistent for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
compared to the
three months ended May 31, 2015
, as the increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was offset by a decrease in the number of home deliveries. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to a change in product mix as a result of the timing of deliveries in the segment's higher-end homes in certain communities. The decrease in the number of home deliveries was primarily due to less demand as the number of home deliveries per active community decreased driven by the volatility in the energy sector. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in land costs per home and an increase in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.
Homebuilding Other:
Revenues from home sales increased for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
compared to the
three months ended May 31, 2015
, primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in Homebuilding Other. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to a change in product mix. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the
three months ended May 31, 2016
increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to a decrease in land costs per home (prior year's land costs per home included a valuation adjustment of $9.6 million in our Northeast Urban operations), an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered and a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales.

Homebuilding East:
Revenues from home sales increased for the

compared to the

, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment and an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in the segment, except Florida. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily because we have been able to increase the sales prices in certain of our communities due to favorable market conditions. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in Florida was primarily due a change in product mix due to the timing of deliveries in certain communities. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the

The decrease in the number of home deliveries was primarily due to less demand as the number of home deliveries per active community decreased
58
driven by the volatility in the energy sector. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the

decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in land costs per home and an increase in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.
Homebuilding Other:
Revenues from home sales increased for the
six months ended May 31, 2016
compared to the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in Homebuilding Other and an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in Homebuilding Other, except Minnesota. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to a change in product mix. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The decrease in home deliveries in Minnesota was primarily due to a higher mix of start-up communities, which are earlier in the life cycle of delivering homes than non start-up communities. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the
six months ended May 31, 2016
increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered, a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales and prior year included a valuation adjustment of $9.6 million in our Northeast Urban operations.
Lennar Financial Services Segment
Our Lennar Financial Services reportable segment provides mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of our homes and others. Our Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, we retain potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that we breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements.

Rialto Segment
Our Rialto reportable segment is a commercial real estate investment, investment management, and finance company focused on raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and selling into securitizations commercial mortgage loans as well as investing our own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto's primary focus is to manage third-party capital and to originate and sell into securitizations commercial mortgage loans. Rialto has commenced the workout and/or oversight of billions of dollars of real estate assets across the United States, including commercial and residential real estate loans and properties as well as mortgage backed securities with the objective of generating superior, risk-adjusted returns. To date, many of the investment and management opportunities have arisen from the dislocation in the United States real estate markets and the restructuring and recapitalization of those markets.

six months ended May 31, 2016
, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of
$670.3 million
of which
$654.0 million
were recorded as loans held-for-sale and
$16.3 million
as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold
$766.4 million
of loans into
five
separate securitizations. During the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of
$1.2 billion
and sold
$1.0 billion
of loans into
five
separate securitizations.
Loans Receivable
In 2010, our Rialto segment acquired indirectly
40%
managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies (“LLCs”) in partnership with the FDIC, which retained
60%
equity interests in the LLCs, for approximately
$243 million
(net of transaction costs and a
$22 million
working capital reserve). The LLCs held performing and non-performing loans formerly owned by
22
failed financial institutions and when our Rialto segment acquired its interests in the LLCs, the two portfolios consisted of approximately
5,500
distressed residential and commercial real estate loans. If the LLCs exceed expectations and meet certain internal rate of return and distribution thresholds, our equity interest in the LLCs could be reduced from 40% down to 30%, with a corresponding increase to the FDIC’s equity interest from 60% up to 70%. As these thresholds have not been met, distributions continue being shared 60%/40% with the FDIC. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, the LLCs distributed
$66.6 million
and
$94.0 million
, respectively, of which
$40.0 million
and
$56.4 million
, respectively, was distributed to the FDIC and
$26.6 million
and
$37.6 million
, respectively, was distributed to Rialto, the parent company.
The LLCs met the accounting definition of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and since we were determined to be the primary beneficiary, we consolidated the LLCs. We were determined to be the primary beneficiary because we have the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts. At
May 31, 2016
, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of
$280.0 million
and
60
$11.3 million
, respectively. At
November 30, 2015
, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of
$355.2 million
and
$11.3 million
, respectively.
Also, in 2010, our Rialto segment acquired approximately
400
distressed residential and commercial real estate loans and over
300
REO properties from three financial institutions. We paid
$310 million
for the distressed real estate and real estate related assets, of which
$124 million
was financed through a
5
-year senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling institutions for which the maturity was subsequently extended. The remaining balance is due in December 2016. As of both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the outstanding amount related to the
5
-year unsecured note was
$30.3 million
.

At
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the carrying value of Rialto's non-investment grade commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) was
$60.1 million
and

, respectively. These securities have discount rates ranging from
39%
to
55%
with coupon rates ranging from
2.2%
to
4.0%
, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and February 2026, and stated maturity dates between November 2048 and March 2059. The Rialto segment classified these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.
In 2014, the Rialto segment invested
$18 million
in a private commercial real estate services company. The investment was carried at cost at both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
and is included in Rialto's other assets.
Lennar Multifamily Segment
We have been actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development, construction and property management of multifamily rental properties. Our Lennar Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.
As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, our balance sheet had
$518.1 million
and
$415.4 million
, respectively, of assets related to our Lennar Multifamily segment, which included investments in unconsolidated entities of
$304.2 million
and
$250.9 million
, respectively. Our net investment in the Lennar Multifamily segment as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
was
$428.0 million
and
$348.4 million
, respectively. During the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
, our Lennar Multifamily segment sold one and two operating properties, respectively, through its unconsolidated entities resulting in the segment's
$15.4 million
and
$35.8 million
share of gains, respectively. In addition, during both the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
, our Lennar Multifamily segment sold land to a third-party generating gross profit of
$5.2 million
.
Our Lennar Multifamily segment had equity investments in
31
and
29
unconsolidated entities (including the Lennar Multifamily Venture, the "Venture"), as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively. As of
May 31, 2016
, our Lennar Multifamily segment had interests in 46 communities with development costs of $3.7 billion, of which eight communities were completed and operating, five communities were partially completed and leasing, 27 communities were under construction and the remaining communities were owned. As of
May 31, 2016
, our Lennar Multifamily segment also had a pipeline of potential future projects totaling $4.1 billion in assets across a number of states that would be developed primarily by future unconsolidated entities.
In 2015, the Lennar Multifamily segment completed the first closing of the Venture for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. As of
May 31, 2016
, the Venture has approximately
$1.4 billion
of equity commitments, including a
$504 million
co-investment commitment by us, comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. Subsequent to
May 31, 2016
, the Lennar Multifamily Venture received an additional
$550 million
of equity commitments, increasing its total equity commitments to approximately
$2 billion
.

(2) Financial Condition and Capital Resources
At
May 31, 2016
, we had cash and cash equivalents related to our homebuilding, financial services, Rialto and multifamily operations of
$815.5 million
, compared to
$1.2 billion
at
November 30, 2015
and
$920.2 million
at
May 31, 2015
.
We finance all of our activities, including homebuilding, financial services, Rialto, multifamily and general operating needs, primarily with cash generated from our operations, debt issuances and equity offerings, as well as cash borrowed under our warehouse lines of credit and our credit facility.
Operating Cash Flow Activities
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, cash used in operating activities totaled
$175.4 million
and
$994.5 million
, respectively. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, cash used in operating activities was impacted by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases, land development and construction costs and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities, partially offset by our net earnings, a decrease in receivables and a net decrease in loans held-for-sale primarily related to RMF. For the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, distribution of earnings from unconsolidated entities were (1)
$1.1 million
from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, (2)
$7.8 million
from Rialto unconsolidated entities, and (3)
$34.8 million
from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, cash used in operating activities was impacted by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases and land development costs, an increase of
$206.7 million
in Rialto loans held-for-sale related to RMF and an increase of
$53.9 million
in Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale, partially offset by our net earnings, an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities and an increase in distribution of earnings from unconsolidated entities. For the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, distributions of earnings from unconsolidated were (1)
$26.3 million
from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities and (2)
$8.4 million
from Rialto unconsolidated entities.
Investing Cash Flow Activities
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, cash used in investing activities totaled
$149.6 million
and
$7.3 million
, respectively. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, our cash used in investing activities was primarily impacted by cash contributions of (1)
$91.2 million
to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital, (2)
$24.1 million
contributed primarily to Rialto's CMBS Funds, and (3)
$94.9 million
to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital. In addition, cash used in investing activities was impacted by purchases of commercial mortgage backed bonds and originations of loans receivable by our Rialto segment. This was partially offset by the receipt of
$43.4 million
of proceeds from the sales of REO and distributions of capital of (1)
$25.7 million
from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, (2)
$66.3 million
from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, of which
$43.6 million
was distributed by the Venture and (3)
$11.0 million
from Rialto unconsolidated entities comprised of
$4.3 million
distributed by Fund II,
$5.5 million
distributed by the Mezzanine Fund and
$1.2 million
distributed by the CMBS Funds.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, cash used in investing activities was primarily impacted by cash contributions of (1)
$27.0 million
to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital, (2)
$23.9 million
to Rialto unconsolidated entities comprised of
$18.4 million
contributed to Fund II,
$3.5 million
contributed to the Mezzanine Fund and
$2.0 million
contributed to the CMBS Funds, and (3)
$15.7 million
to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital. In addition, cash used in investing activities was impacted by purchases of Lennar Homebuilding investments available-for-sale, purchase of an investment carried at cost and additions of operating properties. This was partially offset by the receipt of
$73.7 million
of proceeds from the sale of a Lennar Homebuilding operating property,
$55.8 million
of proceeds from the sales of REO and by distributions of capital of (1)
$17.8 million
from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, (2)
$11.3 million
from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, and (3)
$6.0 million
from Rialto unconsolidated entities comprised of
$2.7 million
distributed by Fund II,
$1.2 million
distributed by Mezzanine Fund and
$2.1 million
distributed by the CMBS Funds.
Financing Cash Flow Activities
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, our cash (used in) provided by financing activities totaled
($18.0) million
and
$640.2 million
, respectively. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, our cash used in financing activities was primarily impacted by
$230.2 million
of repayments under our Lennar Financial Services' and Rialto's warehouse repurchase facilities,
$233.9 million
of exchanges and conversions of our
2.75%
convertible senior notes due 2020 (the “
2.75%
Convertible Senior Notes”), the redemption of
$250 million
aggregate principal amount of our
6.50%
senior notes due April 2016,
$103.2 million
of principal payments on other borrowings and
$73.2 million
of payments related to noncontrolling interests. The cash used in financing activities was partially offset by the receipt of proceeds of the sale of
$500 million
aggregate principal amount of
4.750%
senior notes due 2021 ("
4.750%
Senior Notes") and
$375.0 million
of net borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).
62
During the
six months ended May 31, 2015
, our cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributed to the receipt of proceeds related to the sale of (1) an additional $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2019, and (2) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior notes due 2025; net borrowings of
$450 million
under our Credit Facility; and net borrowings of
$189.6 million
under our Lennar Financial Services' and Rialto's warehouse repurchase facilities. The cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by $500 million redemption of our 5.60% senior notes due May 2015,
$206.9 million
of principal payments on other borrowings and
$78.9 million
of payments related to noncontrolling interests.
Debt to total capital ratios are financial measures commonly used in the homebuilding industry and are presented to assist in understanding the leverage of our Lennar Homebuilding operations. Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital and net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital are calculated as follows:

Net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net Lennar Homebuilding debt (Lennar Homebuilding debt less Lennar Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net Lennar Homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). We believe the ratio of net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in our Lennar Homebuilding operations. However, because net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement our GAAP results.
At
May 31, 2016
, Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital was lower compared to
May 31, 2015
, primarily as a result of an increase in stockholder’s equity primarily related to our net earnings, partially offset by a net increase in Lennar Homebuilding debt due to borrowings under our Credit Facility and the issuance of senior notes.
We are continually exploring various types of transactions to manage our leverage and liquidity positions, take advantage of market opportunities and increase our revenues and earnings. These transactions may include the issuance of additional indebtedness, the repurchase of our outstanding indebtedness for cash or equity, the acquisition of homebuilders and other companies, the purchase or sale of assets or lines of business, the issuance of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock, and/or pursuing other financing alternatives. In connection with some of our more recently formed businesses, such as Rialto and Lennar Multifamily, we may also consider other types of transactions such as restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings. If any of these transactions are implemented, they could materially impact the amount and composition of our indebtedness outstanding, increase our interest expense, dilute our existing stockholders and/or affect the net book value of our assets. At
May 31, 2016
, we had no other agreements or understandings regarding any significant transactions that have not been previously disclosed.
Our Lennar Homebuilding average debt outstanding was $5.3 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 5.0% for the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, compared to $5.1 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 5.1% for the
six months ended May 31, 2015
. Interest incurred related to Lennar Homebuilding debt for the
six months ended May 31, 2016
was
$143.4 million
, compared to
$146.5 million
in the same period last year.
At
May 31, 2016
, we had a
$1.6 billion
Credit Facility, which includes a
$163 million
accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, with certain financial institutions. The maturity for
$1.3 billion
of the Credit Facility was in June 2019, with the remainder maturing in June 2018. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit agreement also provides that up to
$500 million
in commitments may be used for letters of credit. As of
May 31, 2016
, we had
$375 million
of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of
November 30, 2015
, we had
no
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. We may from time to time, borrow and repay amounts under the Credit Facility. Consequently, the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at the end of a period may not be reflective of the total amounts outstanding during the period. We believe that we were in compliance with our debt covenants at
May 31, 2016
. In addition, we had
$320 million
of letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.
63
Under the amended Credit Facility agreement executed in April 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”), as of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are required to maintain minimum consolidated tangible net worth of approximately $1.5 billion plus the sum of 50% of the cumulative consolidated net income from February 29, 2012, if positive, and 50% of the net cash proceeds from any equity offerings from and after February 29, 2012. We are required to maintain a leverage ratio that shall not exceed 65% and may be reduced by 2.5% per quarter if our interest coverage ratio is less than 2.25:1.00 for two consecutive fiscal calendar quarters. The leverage ratio will have a floor of 60%. If our interest coverage ratio subsequently exceeds 2.25:1.00 for two consecutive fiscal calendar quarters, the leverage ratio we will be required to maintain will be increased by 2.5% per quarter to a maximum of 65%. As of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are also required to maintain either (1) liquidity in an amount equal to or greater than 1.00x consolidated interest incurred for the last twelve months then ended or (2) an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1.50:1.00 for the last twelve months then ended.
The following summarizes our required debt covenants and our actual levels or ratios with respect to those covenants as calculated per the Credit Agreement as of

Although we are in compliance with our debt covenants for both calculations, we have only disclosed our liquidity test.
The terms minimum net worth test, maximum leverage ratio, liquidity test and interest coverage ratio used in the Credit Agreement are specifically calculated per the Credit Agreement and differ in specified ways from comparable GAAP or common usage terms.
Subsequent to
May 31, 2016
, we amended the credit agreement governing our Credit Facility to increase the maximum borrowings from
$1.6 billion
to $1.8 billion, including a $318 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, with certain financial institutions. The maturity for $1.3 billion of the Credit Facility was extended from June 2019 to June 2020 with the remaining $160 million maturing in June 2018.
Our performance letters of credit outstanding were
$270.8 million
and
$236.5 million
at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively. Our financial letters of credit outstanding were
$216.6 million
and
$216.7 million
at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee the performance of certain development and construction activities. Financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at
May 31, 2016
, we had outstanding surety bonds of
$1.3 billion
including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of our joint ventures) and financial surety bonds including
$223.4 million
related to pending litigation.
In March 2016, we issued
$500 million
aggregate principal amount of
4.750%
Senior Notes at a price of
100%
. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were
$496.0 million
. We used the net proceeds from the sales of the
4.750%
Senior Notes to retire our
6.50%
senior notes due April 2016 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Interest on the
4.750%
Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning October 1, 2016. The
4.750%
Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, all of the
$234 million
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
2.75%
Convertible Senior Notes were converted and exchanged by the holders for approximately
$234 million
in cash and
5.2 million
shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the exchanges.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, holders converted approximately
$68 million
in aggregate principal amount of the
3.25%
convertible senior notes due 2021 (the “
3.25%
Convertible Senior Notes”) for
2.9 million
shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the conversions and small cash premiums. Subsequent to
May 31, 2016
, holders converted approximately
$137 million
aggregate principal amount of the
3.25%
Convertible Senior Notes for
5.8 million
shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the conversions and small cash premiums.
Currently, substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries and some of our other subsidiaries are guaranteeing all our senior notes (the “Guaranteed Notes”). The guarantees are full and unconditional. The principal reason our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing the Guaranteed Notes is so holders of the Guaranteed Notes will have rights at least as great with regard to our subsidiaries as any other holders of a material amount of our unsecured debt. Therefore, the guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes will remain in effect with regard to a guarantor subsidiary only while it
64
guarantees a material amount of the debt of Lennar Corporation, as a separate entity, to others. At any time when a guarantor subsidiary is no longer guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes, either directly or by guaranteeing other subsidiaries’ obligations as guarantors of Lennar Corporation’s debt, the guarantor subsidiary’s guarantee of the Guaranteed Notes will be suspended. Therefore, if the guarantor subsidiaries cease guaranteeing Lennar Corporation’s obligations under our Credit Facility and our letter of credit facilities and are not guarantors of any new debt, the guarantor subsidiaries’ guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes will be suspended until such time, if any, as they again are guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes.
If our guarantor subsidiaries are guaranteeing revolving credit lines totaling at least $75 million, we will treat the guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes as remaining in effect even during periods when Lennar Corporation’s borrowings under the revolving credit lines are less than $75 million. A subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of.

.
Our Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and the proceeds are collected. The facilities are non-recourse to us and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were
$854.1 million
and
$858.3 million
at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of
$901.9 million
and
$916.9 million
, at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively. Without the facilities, our Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities. Since our Lennar Financial Services segment’s borrowings under the warehouse repurchase facilities are generally repaid with the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans and receivables on loans that secure those borrowings, the facilities are not likely to be a call on our current cash or future cash resources. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling mortgage loans held-for-sale and by collecting on receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid.

In 2015, Rialto entered into a separate repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans. Loans financed under this new facility will be held as accrual loans within loans receivable, net. Borrowings under this facility were
$53.8 million
and
$36.3 million
as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively.
Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were
$57.3 million
and
$317.1 million
as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively and were secured by a 75% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. The facilities require immediate repayment of the 75% interest in the secured commercial loans when the loans are sold in a securitization and the proceeds are collected. These warehouse repurchase facilities are non-recourse to us and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature.
As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of Rialto's 7.00% senior notes due 2018 was

Changes in Capital Structure
We have a stock repurchase program adopted in 2001, which originally authorized us to purchase up to
20 million
shares of our outstanding common stock. During both the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
and
2015
, there were
no
share repurchases of common stock under the stock repurchase program. As of
May 31, 2016
, the remaining authorized shares that could be purchased under the stock repurchase program were
6.2 million
shares of common stock.
On May 11, 2016, we paid cash dividends of $0.04 per share for both our Class A and Class B common stock to holders of record at the close of business on April 27, 2016, as declared by our Board of Directors on April 13, 2016. On June 23, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock, payable July 22, 2016 to holders of record at the close of business on July 8, 2016.
Based on our current financial condition and credit relationships, we believe that our operations and borrowing resources will provide for our current and long-term capital requirements at our anticipated levels of activity.

Lennar Homebuilding: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At
May 31, 2016
, we had equity investments in 36 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which 3 had recourse debt, 7 had non-recourse debt and 26 had no debt), compared to 34 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities at
November 30, 2015
. Historically, we have invested in unconsolidated entities that acquired and developed land (1) for our homebuilding operations or for sale to third parties or (2) for the construction of homes for sale to third-party homebuyers. Through these entities, we have primarily sought to reduce and share our risk by limiting the amount of our capital invested in land, while obtaining access to potential future homesites and allowing us to participate in strategic ventures. The use of these entities also, in some instances, has enabled us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on as favorable terms, without the participation of a strategic partner. Participants in these joint ventures have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to homesites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large land parcels. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners’ capital. Joint ventures with strategic partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with the specific expertise (e.g. commercial or infill experience) of our partner. Each joint venture is governed by an executive committee consisting of members from the partners.
Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

$6.7 million
and
$12.7 million
, respectively, of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities for the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
primarily due to sales of
253
homesites and

homesites, respectively, to third parties for
$52.1 million

,
312
homesites were sold to us by one of our unconsolidated entities for

For the
three months ended May 31, 2015
, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings included
$11.6 million
of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of approximately
60
homesites and a commercial property to third parties for
$121.3 million
that resulted in
$37.6 million

On May 2, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), we contributed, or obtained the right to contribute, our investment in three strategic joint ventures previously managed by FivePoint Communities in exchange for an investment in a newly formed FivePoint entity. The fair values of the assets contributed to the newly formed FivePoint entity, included within the unconsolidated entities summarized condensed balance sheet presented above, are preliminary and will be adjusted when additional information is obtained during the transaction’s measurement period (a period of up to one year from the Closing Date) that may change the fair value allocation as of the acquisition date. A portion of the assets of one of the three strategic joint ventures was retained by us and our venture partner in a new unconsolidated entity. The transactions did not have a material impact to our financial position or cash flows. We recorded our share of combination costs in equity in loss from unconsolidated entities on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
three and six months ended May 31, 2016
.
As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, our recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were
$785.9 million
and
$741.6 million
, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
was
$1.2 billion
and
$839.5 million
, respectively. The basis difference is primarily as a result of us contributing our investment in
three
strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the newly formed FivePoint entity, contributing non-monetary assets to an unconsolidated entity with a higher fair value than book value and deferring equity in earnings on land sales.
The Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities.

Indebtedness of an unconsolidated entity is secured by its own assets. Some unconsolidated entities own multiple properties and other assets. There is no cross collateralization of debt of different unconsolidated entities. We also do not use our investment in one unconsolidated entity as collateral for the debt in another unconsolidated entity or commingle funds among Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.
In connection with loans to a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, we and our partners often guarantee to a lender, either jointly and severally or on a several basis, any or all of the following: (i) the completion of the development, in whole or in part, (ii) indemnification of the lender from environmental issues, (iii) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity (or full recourse liability in the event of an unauthorized transfer or bankruptcy) and (iv) that the loan to value and/or loan to cost will not exceed a certain percentage (maintenance or remargining guarantee) or that a percentage of the outstanding loan will be repaid (repayment guarantee).
In connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity where there is a joint and several guarantee, we sometimes have a reimbursement agreement with our partner. The reimbursement agreement provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share of the guarantee. However, if our joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share, up to our maximum exposure, which is the full amount covered by the joint and several guarantee.

The increase in our maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to us providing a repayment guarantee on an unconsolidated entity's debt.
The recourse debt exposure in the previous table represents our maximum exposure to loss from guarantees and does not take into account the underlying value of the collateral or the other assets of the borrowers that are available to repay debt or to reimburse us for any payments on our guarantees. The Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities that have recourse debt have a significant amount of assets and equity. The summarized balance sheets of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated

entities with recourse debt were as follows:

In addition, in most instances in which we have guaranteed debt of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, our partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payment. Historically, we have had repayment guarantees and maintenance guarantees. In a repayment guarantee, we and our venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of a default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral. In the event of default, if our venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligation under our reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share, up to our maximum recourse exposure, which is the full amount covered by the joint and several guarantee. The maintenance guarantees only apply if the value of the collateral (generally land and improvements) is less than a specified percentage of the loan balance. As of both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, we did not have any maintenance guarantees or joint and several repayment guarantees related to our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.
In connection with many of the loans to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, we and our joint venture partners (or entities related to them) have been required to give guarantees of completion to the lenders. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the construction is to be done in phases, the guarantee generally is limited to completing only the phases as to which construction has already commenced and for which loan proceeds were used. If we are required to make a payment under any guarantee, the payment would generally constitute a capital contribution or loan to the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase our share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.
As of both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, the fair values of the repayment and completion guarantees were not material. We believe that as of
May 31, 2016
, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, most of the time the collateral should be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or we and our partners would contribute additional capital into the venture. In certain instances, we have placed performance letters of credit and surety bonds with municipalities for our joint ventures. (See Note 11 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements).
In view of credit market conditions during the past several years, it is not uncommon for lenders and/or real estate developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, to assert non-monetary defaults (such as failure to meet construction completion deadlines or declines in the market value of collateral below required amounts) or technical monetary defaults against the real estate developers. In most instances, those asserted defaults are resolved by modifications of the loan terms, additional equity investments or other concessions by the borrowers. In addition, in some instances, real estate developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, are forced to request temporary waivers of covenants in loan documents or modifications of loan terms, which are often, but not always obtained. However, in some instances developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, are not able to meet their monetary obligations to lenders, and are thus declared in default. Because we sometimes guarantee all or portions of the obligations to lenders of joint ventures in which we have interests, when these joint ventures default on their obligations, lenders may or may not have claims against us. Normally, we do not make payments with regard to guarantees of joint venture obligations while the joint ventures are contesting assertions regarding sums due to their lenders. When it is determined that a joint venture is obligated to make a payment that we have guaranteed and the joint venture will not be able to make that payment, we accrue the amounts probable to be paid by us as a liability. Although we generally fulfill our guarantee obligations within a reasonable time after we determine that we are obligated with regard to them, at any point in time it is likely that we will have some balance of unpaid guarantee liability. At both
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, we had no liabilities accrued for unpaid guarantees of joint venture indebtedness on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net of interests of participating employees (refer to paragraph below).
During 2015, Rialto adopted a Carried Interest Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), under which participating employees in the aggregate may receive up to 40% of the equity units of a limited liability company (a "Carried Interest Entity") that is entitled to distributions made by a fund or other investment vehicle (a "Fund") managed by a subsidiary of Rialto. As such, those employees receiving equity units in the Carried Interest Entity may benefit from distributions made by a Fund to the extent the Carried Interest Entity makes distributions to its equity holders. The units issued to employees are equity awards and are subject to vesting schedules and forfeiture or repurchase provisions in the case of termination of employment.

Lennar Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At
May 31, 2016
, Lennar Multifamily had equity investments in
31
unconsolidated entities that are engaged in multifamily residential developments (of which 21 had non-recourse debt and 10 had no debt), compared to
29
unconsolidated entities at
November 30, 2015
. We invest in unconsolidated entities that acquire and develop land to construct multifamily rental properties. Through these entities, we are focusing on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets. Participants in these joint ventures have been financial partners. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our development and construction expertise with access to our partners’ capital. Each joint venture is governed by an operating agreement that provides significant substantive participating voting rights on major decisions to our partners.
In 2015, the Lennar Multifamily segment completed the initial closing of the Venture for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets with
$1.1 billion
of commitments. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, the Venture received an additional
$300 million
of equity commitments, increasing its total equity commitments to
$1.4 billion
, including a
$504 million
co-investment commitment by us comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. The Venture is currently seeded with
22
undeveloped multifamily assets that were previously purchased or under contract by the Lennar Multifamily segment totaling approximately
6,700
apartments with projected project costs of
$2.1 billion
as of
May 31, 2016
. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
,
$224.6 million
in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed our portion of
$90.1 million
. During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, we received distributions of
$43.6 million
as a return of capital from the Venture. As of
May 31, 2016
,
$500.0 million
of the
$1.4 billion
in equity commitments had been called, of which we have contributed our portion of
$179.5 million
representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment by us of
$324.5 million
. As of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30,
72
2015
, the carrying value of our investment in the Venture was
$172.5 million
and
$122.5 million
, respectively. Subsequent to
May 31, 2016
, the Venture received an additional
$550 million
of equity commitments, increasing its total equity commitments to approximately
$2 billion
.
The joint ventures are typically structured through non-corporate entities in which control is shared with our venture partners. Each joint venture is unique in terms of its funding requirements and liquidity needs. We and the other joint venture participants typically make pro-rata cash contributions to the joint ventures except for cost over-runs relating to the construction of the project. In all cases, we have been required to provide guarantees of completion and cost over-runs to the lenders and partners. These completion guarantees may require us to complete the improvements for which the financing was obtained. Therefore, our risk is limited to our equity contribution, draws on letters of credit and potential future payments under the guarantees of completion and cost over-runs. In certain instances, payments made under the cost over-run guarantees are considered capital contributions.
Additionally, the joint ventures obtain third-party debt to fund a portion of the acquisition, development and construction costs of the rental projects. The joint venture agreements usually permit, but do not require, the joint ventures to make additional capital calls in the future. However, the joint venture debt does not have repayment or maintenance guarantees. Neither we nor the other equity partners are a party to the debt instruments. In some cases, we agree to provide credit support in the form of a letter of credit provided to the bank.
We regularly monitor the results of our unconsolidated joint ventures and any trends that may affect their future liquidity or results of operations. We also monitor the performance of joint ventures in which we have investments on a regular basis to assess compliance with debt covenants. For those joint ventures not in compliance with the debt covenants, we evaluate and assess possible impairment of our investment. We believe all of the joint ventures were in compliance with their debt covenants at
May 31, 2016
.
As described above, the liquidity needs of joint ventures in which we have investments vary on an entity-by-entity basis depending on each entity’s purpose and the stage in its life cycle. During formation and development activities, the entities generally require cash, which is provided through a combination of equity contributions and debt financing, to fund acquisition, development and construction of multifamily rental properties. As the properties are completed and sold, cash generated will be available to repay debt and for distribution to the joint venture’s members. Thus, the amount of cash available for a joint venture to distribute at any given time is primarily a function of the scope of the joint venture’s activities and the stage in the joint venture’s life cycle.

For the
three months ended May 31, 2016
, Lennar Multifamily equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included the segment's
$15.4 million
share of a gain as a result of the sale of an operating property by one of its unconsolidated entities. For the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, Lennar Multifamily equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included the segment's
$35.8 million
share of gains as a result of the sale of
two
operating properties by its unconsolidated entities.

Our share of profit and cash distributions from sales of operating properties could be higher compared to our ownership interest in unconsolidated entities if certain specified internal rate of return milestones are achieved.
Option Contracts
We often obtain access to land through option contracts, which generally enable us to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land funds) and unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether to exercise the options.
The table below indicates the number of homesites owned and homesites to which we had access through option contracts with third parties (“optioned”) or unconsolidated JVs (i.e., controlled homesites) at
May 31, 2016
and

We evaluate all option contracts for land to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary or make a significant deposit for optioned land, we may need to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, consolidated inventory not owned increased by
$75.7 million
with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
May 31, 2016
. The increase was primarily related to the consolidation of an option agreement, partially offset by us exercising our option to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the
74
inventory consolidated, we had a net reclass related to option deposits from land under development to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
May 31, 2016
. The liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned primarily represent the difference between the option exercise prices for the optioned land and our cash deposits.
Our exposure to loss related to our option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of our non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling
$83.4 million
and
$89.2 million
at
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively. Additionally, we had posted
$73.9 million
and
$70.4 million
of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of
May 31, 2016
and
November 30, 2015
, respectively.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015, except for:
•
In March 2016, we issued
$500 million
aggregate principal amount of
4.750%
Senior Notes. We used the net proceeds from the sales of the
4.750%
Senior Notes to retire our
6.50%
senior notes due April 2016 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
•
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, all of the
$234 million
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
2.75%
Convertible Senior Notes were converted and exchanged by the holders.
•
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, holders converted approximately
$68 million
in aggregate principal amount of the
3.25%
Convertible Senior Notes.
•
As of
May 31, 2016
, we had
$375 million
of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The maturity for
$1.3 billion
of the Credit Facility was in June 2019, with the remainder maturing in June 2018.
•
As of
May 31, 2016
, borrowings under Rialto's and Lennar Financial Services' warehouse repurchase facilities were
$111.1 million
and
$854.1 million
, respectively.

Some of the senior notes and other debts payable are convertible senior notes, which have been included in this table based on maturity dates, but they are putable to, or callable by, us at earlier dates than the maturity dates disclosed in this table. The amounts presented in the table above exclude debt issuance costs and any discounts/premiums.

related to the Rialto warehouse repurchase financing agreements and
$29.0 million
related to Rialto's structured note offerings with an estimated final payment date of August 15, 2017. These amounts exclude debt issuance costs.
(3)
Interest commitments on variable interest-bearing debt are determined based on the interest rates as of
May 31, 2016
.
We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including option contracts) for the purchase, development and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of our business. Option contracts for the purchase of land generally enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether to exercise our options. This reduces our financial risk associated with land holdings. At
May 31, 2016
, we had access to
34,749
homesites through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At
May 31, 2016
, we had
$83.4 million
of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to certain of these homesites and had posted
$73.9 million
of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain option contracts.
75
At
May 31, 2016
, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of
$487.4 million
(which included
$73.9 million
of letters of credit discussed above). These letters of credit are generally posted either with regulatory bodies to guarantee our performance of certain development and construction activities, or in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at
May 31, 2016
, we had outstanding surety bonds of
$1.3 billion
including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of our joint ventures) and financial surety bonds including
$223.4 million
related to pending litigation. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all of the development and construction activities are completed. As of
May 31, 2016
, there were approximately
$468.4 million
, or
36%
, of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. We do not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any such draws occur, we do not believe they would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Our Lennar Financial Services segment had a pipeline of loan applications in process of $2.6 billion at
May 31, 2016
. Loans in process for which interest rates were committed to the borrowers totaled approximately $713.5 million as of
May 31, 2016
. Substantially all of these commitments were for periods of 60 days or less. Since a portion of these commitments is expected to expire without being exercised by the borrowers or because borrowers may not meet certain criteria at the time of closing, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Our Lennar Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) forward commitments, option contracts, future contracts and investor commitments to hedge our mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option contracts, future contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting our counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting our credit standards. Our risk, in the event of default by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and option contracts. At
May 31, 2016
, we had open commitments amounting to
$1.2 billion
to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through August 2016 and open future contracts in the amount of
$444 million
with settlement dates through March 2023.
(3) New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 17 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements applicable to our Company.
(4) Critical Accounting Policies
We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the
six months ended May 31, 2016
as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended
November 30, 2015
.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our investments, debt obligations, loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment. We utilize forward commitments and option contracts to mitigate the risks associated with our mortgage loan portfolio.
In March 2016, we issued
$500 million
aggregate principal amount of
4.750%
senior notes due 2021. We used the net proceeds from the sales of the
4.750%
senior notes due 2021 to retire our
6.50%
senior notes due April 2016 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, all of the
$234 million
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
2.75%
convertible senior notes due 2020 were converted and exchanged by the holders.
During the
six months ended May 31, 2016
, holders converted approximately
$68 million
in aggregate principal amount of the
3.25%
convertible senior notes due 2021.
As of
May 31, 2016
, we had
$375 million
of outstanding borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. As of
May 31, 2016
, borrowings under Rialto's and Lennar Financial Services' warehouse repurchase facilities were
$111.1 million
and
$854.1 million

Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 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

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
May 31, 2016
. That evaluation did not identify any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
We have been engaged in litigation since 2008 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (U.S. Home Corporation v. Settlers Crossing, LLC, et al., Civil Action No. DKC 08-1863) regarding whether we are required by a contract we entered into in 2005 to purchase a property in Maryland. After entering into the contract, we later renegotiated the purchase price, reducing it from
$200 million
to
$134 million
,
$20 million
of which has been paid and subsequently written off, leaving a balance of
$114 million
. In January 2015, the District Court rendered a decision ordering us to purchase the property for the
$114 million
balance of the contract price, to pay interest at the rate of
12%
per annum from May 27, 2008, and to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes and attorneys’ fees. We believe the decision is contrary to applicable law and have appealed the decision. We do not believe it is probable that a loss has occurred and, therefore, no liability has been recorded with respect to this case.
On June 29, 2015, the court ruled that interest will be calculated as simple interest at the rate of
12%
per annum from May 27, 2008 until the date we purchase the property. Simple interest on
$114 million
at
12%
per annum will accrue at the rate of
$13.7 million
per year, totaling approximately
$109 million
as of
May 31, 2016
. In addition, if we are required to purchase the property, we will be obligated to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes, which currently total
$1.6 million
. We have not engaged in discovery regarding the amount of the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. If the District Court decision is totally reversed on appeal, we will not have to purchase the property or pay interest, real estate taxes or attorneys’ fees.
In its June 29, 2015 ruling, the District Court determined that we will be permitted to stay the judgment during appeal by posting a bond in the amount of
$223.4 million
related to pending litigation. The District Court calculated this amount by adding
12%
per annum simple interest to the
$114 million
purchase price for the period beginning May 27, 2008 through May 26, 2016, the date the District Court estimated the appeal of the case would be concluded.

In June 2001, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which we were authorized to purchase up to
20 million
shares of our outstanding Class A common stock or Class B common stock. This repurchase authorization has no expiration date.
On May 18, 2016, we settled conversion requests relating to approximately $65 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the “2.75% Convertible Senior Notes”) by issuing 1.5 million shares of Class A common stock and paying approximately $65 million in cash, representing the face amount of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes. As a result, during the three months ended May 31, 2016, approximately $67 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes were converted or exchanged by the holders for approximately $67 million in cash and 1.6 million shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the exchanges. The 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes were convertible at a conversion rate of 45.1794 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount. We issued the Class A common stock in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9) of that Act.
During the three months ended May 31, 2016, holders converted approximately $68 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2021 (the “3.25% Convertible Senior Notes”) for 2.9 million shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the conversions and small cash premiums. The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion rate of 42.5555 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes. We issued the Class A common stock upon conversion of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9) of that Act.
