Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

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 variable interest entities ("VIEs") (see Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) 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, 2019
. 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 months ended February 29, 2020
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents as of

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
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 (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. The lease classification determined whether the lease expense was 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 was effective for the Company beginning December 1, 2019. The Company elected the available practical expedients on adoption. Additionally, in preparation for adoption of the standard, the Company has implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information. The standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of the adoption, as of
February 29, 2020
, the Company has recorded
$
143.7
million
of ROU assets and
$
150.8
million
of lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets within other assets and other liabilities of the respective segments.

Homebuilding Segments
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.
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, other revenues from management fees and forfeited deposits, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, and selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by 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, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and South Carolina
Central:
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota and Virginia
Texas:

Financial Services
Operations of the Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title and closing services primarily for buyers of the Company’s homes. It also includes originating and selling into securitizations commercial mortgage loans through its
LMF Commercial
business, formerly Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF"). The Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period of time 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. Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title and closing services, and property and casualty insurance, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations.
At

LMF Commercial
uses this warehouse repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans, which are reported as accrual loans within loans held-for-investment, net. There were borrowings under this facility of
$
11.4
million
as of
February 29, 2020
.
The Financial Services segment uses the residential facilities to finance its residential 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. The LMF Commercial facilities finance LMF Commercial loan originations and securitization activities and were secured by a
75%
interest in the originated commercial loans financed.
Borrowings and collateral under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were as follows:

If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be repaid by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting receivables on loans sold but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (Continued)
Substantially all of the residential loans the 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. Purchasers sometimes try to defray losses by purporting to have found inaccuracies related to sellers’ representations and warranties in particular loan sale agreements. 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 residential 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 Financial Services’ liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Investments held-to-maturity
At
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the carrying value of Financial Services' commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") was
$
165.3
million
and
$
166.0
million
, respectively. These securities were purchased at discounts ranging from
6
%
to
84
%
with coupon rates ranging from
2.0
%
to
5.3
%
, stated and assumed final distribution dates between October 2027 and December 2028, and stated maturity dates between October 2050 and December 2051. The Financial Services segment reviews changes in estimated cash flows periodically to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on its CMBS. Based on the segment’s assessment,
no
impairment charges were recorded during either the
three months ended February 29, 2020
or February 28,
2019
. The Financial Services segment classifies these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. The Company has financing agreements to finance CMBS that have been purchased as investments by the Financial Services segment. At
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of outstanding debt in these agreements was
$
153.8
million
and
$
154.7
million
, respectively and interest is incurred at a rate of
3.4
%
.
Multifamily
The Company is actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development, construction and property management of multifamily rental properties. The Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.
Operations of the Multifamily segment include revenues generated from the sales of land, revenue from construction activities, and management and promote fees generated from joint ventures and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other gains (which includes sales of buildings), less the cost of sales of land sold, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses.

Lennar Other
Lennar Other primarily includes fund interests the Company retained when it sold the Rialto asset and investment management platform, as well as strategic investments in technology companies. Operations of the Lennar Other segment include operating earnings (loss) consisting of revenues generated primarily from the Company's share of carried interests in the Rialto fund investments retained after the sale of Rialto's asset and investment management platform, along with equity in earnings (loss) from the Rialto fund investments and strategic technology investments, and other income (expense), net from the remaining assets related to the Company's former Rialto segment.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Homebuilding Unconsolidated Entities
As of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the Company’s recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were
$
946.7
million
and
$
1.0
billion
, respectively, while the underlying equity in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of both
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
was
$
1.3
billion
. The basis difference was 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 FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings
on land sales to the Company. Included in the Company's recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is the Company's
40
%
ownership of FivePoint. As of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the carrying amount of the Company's FivePoint investment was
$
366.8
million
and
$
374.0
million
, respectively.
The 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 Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments was
$
1.1
billion
as of both
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, of which the Company's maximum recourse exposure was
$
4.9
million
and
$
10.8
million
as of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, respectively. In most instances in which the Company has guaranteed debt of an unconsolidated entity, the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payments. 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 connection with many of the loans to 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 development or construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the development or 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 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
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the fair values of the repayment guarantees, maintenance guarantees, and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of
February 29, 2020
, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, the collateral would 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 with regard to obligations of its joint ventures (see Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (Continued)
Multifamily Unconsolidated Entities
The unconsolidated entities in which the 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 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. 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 increase 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
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. As of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of
$
979.5
million
and
$
867.3
million
, respectively.
In many instances, the Multifamily segment is appointed as the construction, development and property manager for its Multifamily unconsolidated entities and receives fees for performing this function. During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
and February 28, 2019, the Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of
$
13.8
million
and
$
13.1
million
, respectively.
The 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 months ended February 29, 2020
and February 28, 2019, the Multifamily segment provided general contractor services, net of deferrals, totaling
$
93.9
million
and
$
82.4
million
, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of
$
90.2
million

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") is considered participating securities.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:

with
$

million
maturing in June 2020 and the balance due in 2024. The Credit Facility agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides that up to

million
in commitments may be used for letters of credit. The maturity and details of the Credit Facility are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Financial Condition and Capital Resources section in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2019. Under the Credit 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
February 29, 2020
. In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has other letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.
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
February 29, 2020
, the Company had outstanding surety bonds including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects in the Company’s joint ventures) and financial surety bonds. 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. 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.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:
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 the short-term nature of the majority of the borrowings.
18
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (Continued)
Homebuilding
—For senior notes and other debts payable, the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings is primarily 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.
Multifamily
—For notes payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and the short-term nature of the borrowings.
Lennar Other
—The fair value for investments held-to-maturity is based on discounted cash flow. For notes payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and the short-term nature of the borrowings.
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.

Financial Services residential 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-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 Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.
LMF Commercial
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.
Mortgage servicing rights
-
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
19
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (Continued)
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 and are noted below:

- The fair value of investments available-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.

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.

Valuation adjustments were included in Homebuilding costs and expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
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 impairment in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Form 10-K for the year ended
November 30, 2019
.
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.
The Company disclosed its accounting policy related to inventories and its review for indicators of impairment in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2019. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its active communities for indicators of potential impairments. As of
February 29, 2020
and
February 28, 2019
, there were
1,253
and
1,287
active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities
The Company evaluated the joint venture agreements of its joint ventures that were formed or that had reconsideration events, such as changes in the governing documents or to debt arrangements during the
three months ended February 29, 2020
. Based on the Company's evaluation, the Company consolidated
one
entity that had a total assets and liabilities of
$
49.4
million
and
$
0.9
million
, respectively and deconsolidated an entity that had an immaterial amount of assets and liabilities.
The carrying amount of our consolidated VIE's assets and non-recourse liabilities are disclosed in the footnote to the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (Continued)
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 or other debts payable. The assets held by a VIE usually are collateral for that VIE’s debt. The Company and other 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.
Unconsolidated VIEs
At
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the Company’s recorded investments in VIEs that are unconsolidated and its estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows:

(2)
As of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the maximum exposure to loss of Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was primarily limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to the remaining equity commitment of
$
191.3
million
and
$
224.2
million
, respectively, to fund LMV I and LMV II for future expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects
.
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.
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 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.
Option Contracts
The Company has access to land through option contracts, which generally enable 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 options.
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
three months ended February 29, 2020
, consolidated inventory not owned increased by
$
104.3
million
with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
February 29, 2020
. The increase was primarily related to the consolidation of option contracts, partially offset by the Company exercising its options 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 consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
February 29, 2020
. 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 losses related to its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of its non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling
$
306.0
million
and
$
320.5
million
at
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, respectively. Additionally, for both periods, the Company had posted
$
75.0
million
of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, respectively.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is also a party to various lawsuits involving purchases and sales of real property. These lawsuits include claims regarding representations and warranties made in connection with the transfer of properties and disputes regarding the obligation to purchase or sell properties.
The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims or lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position. However, the financial effect of litigation concerning purchases and sales of property may depend upon the value of the subject property, which may have changed from the time the agreement for purchase or sale was entered into.
Leases
The Company has entered into agreements to lease certain office facilities and equipment under operating leases. The Company recognizes leases expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and right-of-use lease liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet for all leases, except leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Many of the Company's leases include options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's option and therefore renewal option payments have not been included in the ROU assets or lease liabilities.
The following table includes additional information about the Company's leases:

The Company's leases do not include a readily determinable implicit rate. As such, the Company has estimated the discount rate for these leases to determine the present value of lease payments at the lease commencement date or as of December 1, 2019, which was the effective date of ASU 2016-02. As of
February 29, 2020
, the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate used in calculating the lease liabilities were
3.4
years and
3.1
%
, respectively. The Company recognized the lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets within other liabilities.
Rental expense for the

. Rental expense includes costs for all leases. On occasion, the Company may sublease rented space which is no longer used for the Company's operations. For the
three months ended February 29, 2020
, the Company had an immaterial amount of sublease income.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning December 1, 2020 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19,
Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses
and ASU 2019-05,
Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief
. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13. Instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses standard. These ASUs will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
(Topic 350),
Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment
("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Supplemental Financial Information
The indentures governing the Company’s senior notes require that, if any of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries, other than its finance company subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries, directly or indirectly guarantee at least
$
75
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
February 29, 2020
they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, disclosed in Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% directly or indirectly owned by Lennar Corporation. A subsidiary's guarantee of Lennar senior notes will be suspended at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least
$
75
million
principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation, 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.
Supplemental information for the subsidiaries that were guarantor subsidiaries at
February 29, 2020
was as follows:

Subsequent Event
Subsequent to February 29, 2020, the United States has been severely impacted by a coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While response to the COVID-19 outbreak continues to rapidly evolve, it has led to stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines that have seriously disrupted activities in large segments of the economy. Presently, certain markets in which we do business have stopped our construction and sales of homes. Although we continue to build and sell homes in our other markets, traffic in our Welcome Home Centers and sales have slowed significantly. While the extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, the outbreak and associated economic impacts could result in a material impact to the Company's future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
31
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, 2019
.
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 or beliefs 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 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 or views that are necessarily shared by all who are involved in those industries or markets. These statements concern expectations, beliefs, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements typically include the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “consider,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “objective,” “plan,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “strategy,” “target,” “will” or other words of similar meaning.
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 what is anticipated by our forward-looking statements. The most important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on our financial position and ability to continue our Homebuilding or Multifamily development activities at normal levels or at all in affected regions; the duration, impact and severity of the COVID-19 outbreak; an extended slowdown in the real estate markets across the nation, including a slowdown in the market for single family homes or the multifamily rental market; increases in operating costs, including costs related to construction materials, labor, real estate taxes and insurance, and our inability to manage our cost structure, both in our Homebuilding and Multifamily businesses; reduced availability of mortgage financing or increased interest rates; our inability to successfully execute our strategies, including our land lighter strategy; changes in general economic and financial conditions that reduce demand for our products and services, lower our profit margins or reduce our access to credit; our inability to acquire land at anticipated prices; the possibility that we will incur nonrecurring costs that affect earnings in one or more reporting periods; decreased demand for our homes or multifamily rental properties; the possibility that the benefit from our increasing use of technology will not justify its cost; increased competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; our inability to pay down debt; whether government actions or other factors related to COVID-19 force us to delay or terminate our program of repurchasing our stock; a decline in the value of our land inventories and resulting write-downs of the carrying value of our real estate assets; the failure of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; difficulty obtaining land-use entitlements or construction financing; natural disasters and other unforeseen events for which our insurance does not provide adequate coverage; new laws or regulatory changes that adversely affect the profitability of our businesses; our inability to refinance our debt on terms that are acceptable to us; and changes in accounting conventions that adversely affect our reported earnings.
Please see our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 and other filings with the SEC for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties which could affect our future results. We undertake no obligation, other than those imposed by securities laws, 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.
Outlook
The United States economy in general and our business specifically have been dramatically affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or how many people are likely to be affected by it. For that reason, we are unable to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on our business at this time. Our first priority with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic is to do everything we can to ensure the safety, health and hygiene of our associates, customers, suppliers and others with whom we partner in our business activities. Subject to that and through the use of appropriate risk mitigation and safety practices, we are doing everything we can to continue our business operations in this unprecedented business environment in which we find ourselves. Part of our strategy includes accelerating various technology initiatives to accommodate our safety first mandate and to continue our business in these difficult times.
Subsequent to our first quarter earnings call, a number of states, counties and municipalities issued orders requiring persons who were not engaged in essential activities and businesses to remain at home. Other jurisdictions without stay-at-home orders required non-essential businesses to close. Some states designated residential homebuilding as an essential business activity. However, several states and municipalities did not include residential construction as an essential business
32
and required that construction cease. Late in March, the United States Department of Homeland Security added construction to its list of critical infrastructure activities, though this is not binding on state and local governments.
Presently, certain markets in which we do business have stopped our construction and sales of homes. While we continue to build and sell homes in our other markets, traffic in our Welcome Home Centers and sales have slowed significantly. With a near shutdown of large portions of our national economy, we expect sales to continue to slow, even while we maintain and innovate our sales, construction and closing operations. In response to these rapidly changing market conditions, we are taking all appropriate steps to reduce construction costs, SG&A expenses and other cash outflows.
While we have a strong liquidity position as of February 29, 2020 with $785 million of cash and $2.1 billion of unused committed capacity under our revolving credit facility, we are taking steps to maximize positive cash flow, in case a lack of liquidity in the economy resulting from the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic limits our access to third party funding. We are doing this by limiting cash expenditures as much as possible, including working collaboratively through our strong relationships with national, regional and local developers to extend the closing date of our land purchases and defer land development activities.
Our mortgage lending operations have not yet experienced a significant slowdown in loan originations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a material reduction in our home sales would significantly reduce our residential mortgage lending activities. To the extent we are able to continue originating residential mortgage loans, we expect to be able to continue selling them into the secondary mortgage market.
We do not know to what extent the financial effects of the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the demand for commercial mortgage loans of the type we originate, but they are likely to make it more difficult for us to sell loans we originate into securitization vehicles. This could require us to reduce our commercial mortgage lending even if demand is not adversely affected. If the COVID-19 pandemic continues to curtail economic activity for a substantial period, it is likely to lead to rent arrearages by tenants in multifamily residential buildings in which our Multifamily segment has investments. All of our other business activities are likely to be affected by COVID-19 related reductions in economic activity.
Nobody knows the total effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the economy during the remainder of 2020. Our senior management team is monitoring its impact on a daily basis and will continue to adjust our operations as necessary.
(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 months ended February 29, 2020
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our homebuilding business is seasonal in nature and generally reflects higher levels of new home order activity in our second and third fiscal quarters and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, periods of economic downturn in the industry can alter seasonal patterns as noted in the Outlook section above.
Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were
$398.5 million
, or
$1.27
per diluted share (
$1.27
per basic share), in the
first quarter of 2020
, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of
$239.9 million
, or
$0.74
per diluted share (
$0.74
per basic share), in the
first quarter of 2019
.

Three Months Ended February 29, 2020
versus
Three Months Ended February 28, 2019
Revenues from home sales
increased
15%
in the
first quarter of 2020
to
$4.1 billion
from
$3.6 billion
in the
first quarter of 2019
. Revenues were higher primarily due to a
17%
increase
in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, partially offset by a
2%
decrease
in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities,
increased
to
10,313
homes in the
first quarter of 2020
from
8,802
homes in the
first quarter of 2019
, as a result of an increase in home deliveries in all homebuilding segments. The average sales price of homes delivered was
$402,000
in the
first quarter of 2020
, compared to
$410,000
in the
first quarter of 2019
. The decrease in average sales price primarily resulted from a continuing to shift to lower-priced communities.
Gross margin on home sales were
$849.0 million
, or
20.5%
, in the
first quarter of 2020
, compared to
$726.1 million
, or
20.1%
in the
first quarter of 2019
. The gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily due to our focus on reducing construction costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$378.9 million
in the
first quarter of 2020
, compared to
$343.3 million
in the
first quarter of 2019
. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to
9.2%
in the
first quarter of 2020
, from
9.5%
in the
first quarter of 2019
, due to improved operating leverage primarily as a result of an increase in home deliveries.
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were
$58.2 million
in the
first quarter of 2020
(which included
$47.3 million
of operating earnings and an add back of
$10.9 million
of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests) compared to
$21.8 million
in the
first quarter of 2019
(which included
$19.0 million
of operating earnings and an add back of
$2.8 million
of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings increased due to an improvement in the mortgage business as a result of an increase in volume and margin, as well as reductions in loan origination costs driven in part by technology initiatives. Additionally, operating earnings of our title business increased primarily due to an increase in volume.
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $1.8 million in the
first quarter of 2020
(which included $0.1 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to
$6.8 million
in the
first quarter of 2019
. Operating earnings for the Lennar Other segment were
$0.9 million
in the
first quarter of 2020
, compared to $3.1 million in the
first quarter of 2019
(which included $0.1 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests).
For the
three months ended February 29, 2020
and
February 28, 2019
, we had a tax provision of
$32.3 million
and
$79.7 million
, respectively and our overall effective income tax rate of
7.5%
and
24.9%
, respectively. The reduction in the overall effective income tax rate is primarily due to the extension of the new energy efficient home tax credit during the
first quarter of 2020
.

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. Various state and federal laws and regulations may sometimes give purchasers a right to cancel homes in backlog. We do not recognize revenue on homes under sales contracts until the sales are closed and title passes to the new homeowners.
Three Months Ended
February 29, 2020
versus Three Months Ended
February 28, 2019
Homebuilding East:
Revenues from home sales increased in the
first quarter of 2020
compared to the
first quarter of 2019
, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries and in the average sales price of homes delivered in Florida and New Jersey, partially offset by a decrease in the number of home deliveries and the average sales price of homes delivered in the Carolinas and Pennsylvania. The increase in the number of home deliveries in Florida and New Jersey was primarily due to higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The decrease in the number of home deliveries in the Carolinas and Pennsylvania was primarily due to a decrease in active communities. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Florida and New Jersey was primarily driven by a change in product mix due to a higher percentage of deliveries in higher-priced communities. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in the Carolinas and Pennsylvania was primarily driven by a change in product mix due to a higher percentage of deliveries in lower-priced communities. Gross margin percentage on home deliveries in the
first quarter of 2020
increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to reducing our construction costs and a slight increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.
Homebuilding Central:
Revenues from home sales increased in the
first quarter of 2020
compared to the
first quarter of 2019
, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment. The increase in the number of home deliveries was primarily due to higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. Gross margin percentage on home deliveries in the
first quarter of 2020
decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to impairments taken in a few communities during
first quarter of 2020
.
37
Homebuilding Texas:
Revenues from home sales increased in the
first quarter of 2020
compared to the
first quarter of 2019
, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries, partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily due to higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to closing out higher priced communities and shifting into lower priced communities. Gross margin percentage on home deliveries in the
first quarter of 2020
increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to reducing our construction costs.
Homebuilding West:
Revenues from home sales increased in the
first quarter of 2020
compared to the
first quarter of 2019
, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all states of the segment except Oregon and Utah, partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in all states of the segment except Utah. The increase in the number of home deliveries in all states of the segment except Oregon and Utah was primarily due to higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The decrease in the number of home deliveries in Oregon and Utah was primarily due to timing of the opening and closing of communities. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in all states of the segment except Utah was primarily driven by a change in product mix due to a higher percentage of deliveries in lower-priced communities. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Utah was primarily driven by a change in product mix due to a higher percentage of deliveries in higher-priced communities. Gross margin percentage on home deliveries in the
first quarter of 2020
decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered, partially offset by a reduction in our construction costs.
Financial Services Segment
Our Financial Services reportable segment provides mortgage financing, title and closing services primarily for buyers of our homes. The segment also originates and sells into securitizations commercial mortgage loans through its
LMF Commercial
business. Our Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the residential 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.

$1.1 billion
, compared to
$1.5 billion
at
November 30, 2019
and
$1.1 billion
at

.
We finance all of our activities, including homebuilding, financial services, multifamily, other and general operating needs, primarily with cash generated from our operations, debt issuances and cash borrowed under our warehouse lines of credit and our unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility").
Operating Cash Flow Activities
During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
and
February 28, 2019
, cash provided by (used in) operating activities totaled
$383.0 million
and
($524.4) million
, respectively. During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
, cash provided by operating activities was impacted primarily by our net earnings, a decrease in receivables of
$245.7 million
and a decrease in loans held-for-sale of

primarily related to the sale of loans originated by Financial Services, partially offset by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases, land development and construction costs of
$777.0 million
and increase in other assets of
$121.5 million
.
During the
three months ended February 28, 2019
, cash used in operating activities was impacted primarily by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases, land development and construction costs of
$1.1 billion
, and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of
$387.7 million
. This was partially offset by our net earnings, a decrease in receivables of
$394.7 million
primarily related to a decrease in Financial Services' receivables, net, which are loans sold to investors for which we have not been paid, and a decrease in loans held-for-sale of
$156.7 million
.
Investing Cash Flow Activities
During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
and
February 28, 2019
, cash provided by (used in) investing activities totaled
$13.2 million
and
($78.0) million
, respectively. During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
, our cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities of
$86.3 million
, which primarily included (1)
$17.1 million
from Multifamily unconsolidated entities, (2)
$27.8 million
from the unconsolidated Rialto real estate funds included in our Lennar Other segment and (3)
$41.4 million
from Homebuilding unconsolidated entities. This was partially offset by net additions to operating properties and equipment of
$17.9 million
and cash contributions of
$78.6 million
to unconsolidated entities, which included (1)
$12.6 million
to Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, (2)
$35.8 million
to Multifamily unconsolidated entities, and (3)
$30.2 million
to the strategic technology investments included in the Lennar Other segment.
During the
three months ended February 28, 2019
, our cash used in investing activities was primarily due to cash contributions of
$133.9 million
to unconsolidated entities, which included (1)
$92.9 million
to Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, (2)
$33.8 million
to Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital; and (3)
$7.2 million
to the unconsolidated Rialto real estate funds included in our Lennar Other segment. This was offset by distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities of
$70.1 million
, which included (1)
$33.2 million
from Homebuilding unconsolidated entities; (2)
$12.9 million
from Multifamily unconsolidated entities; (3)
$12.7 million
from Financial Services unconsolidated entities; and (4)
$11.3 million
from the unconsolidated Rialto real estate funds included in our Lennar Other segment.

Financing Cash Flow Activities
During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
and
February 28, 2019
, cash (used in) provided by financing activities totaled
($789.8) million
and
$69.0 million
, respectively. During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
, cash used in financing activities was primarily impacted by (1)
$755.6 million
of net repayments under our Financial Services' warehouse facilities, which included the
LMF Commercial
warehouse repurchase facilities; (2) repurchases of our common stock for
$296.0 million
, which included
$288.5 million
of repurchases under our repurchase program and
$7.4 million
of repurchases related to our equity compensation plan and (3)
$93.3 million
of principal payments on notes payable and other borrowings. These were partially offset by (1)
$300.0 million
of net borrowings under our Credit Facility; and (2)
$88.9 million
of receipts related to noncontrolling interests.
During the
three months ended February 28, 2019
, cash provided by financing activities was primarily impacted by
$725.0 million
of net borrowings under our Credit Facilities, partially offset by
$508.7 million
of net repayments under our Financial Services' warehouse facilities which included the
LMF Commercial
warehouse repurchase facilities,
$93.0 million
of principal payments on other borrowings and repurchases of our common stock of
$49.1 million
, which included
$47.0 million
of repurchases of our stock under our repurchase program and
$2.1 million
of repurchases related to employee stock plans.

Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). We believe the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in homebuilding operations. However, because net homebuilding debt to total capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement our GAAP results.
At
February 29, 2020
, Homebuilding debt to total capital improved compared to
February 28, 2019
, as a result of an increase in stockholders' equity primarily related to our net earnings, partially offset by stock repurchases. At
February 29, 2020
, Homebuilding debt to total capital was higher compared to
November 30, 2019
, as a result of an increase in Homebuilding debt primarily due to an increase in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility, partially offset by a net increase in stockholders' equity primarily related to our net earnings.
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, the repurchase of our common stock, 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 the pursuit other financing alternatives. In connection with some of our non-homebuilding businesses, we are also considering other types of transactions such as sales, restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings as we continue to move back towards being a pure play homebuilding company.
Our Homebuilding senior notes and other debts payable are summarized within Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
At
February 29, 2020
, we had an unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with maximum borrowings of
$2.45 billion
with $50 million maturing in June 2020 and the balance due in 2024. The Credit Facility agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. Under the Credit Agreement, as of the end of the fiscal quarter, we are subject to debt covenants. The maturity, details and debt covenants of the Credit Facility are unchanged from the disclosure in our Financial Condition and Capital Resources section in its Form 10-K for the year ended
November 30, 2019
. In addition to the Credit Facility, we have other letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.

Currently, substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing all our senior notes (the "Guaranteed Notes"). The guarantees are full and unconditional. However, they will terminate as to a subsidiary any time it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation debt or when the subsidiary is sold. These guarantees are outlined in Note 13 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

.
Under the amended Credit Facility agreement executed in April 2019 (the "Credit Agreement"), as of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are required to maintain minimum consolidated tangible net worth of approximately
$7.1 billion
plus the sum of 50% of the cumulative consolidated net income for each completed fiscal quarter subsequent to February 28, 2019, if positive, and 50% of the net cash proceeds from any equity offerings from and after February 28, 2019, minus the lesser of 50% of the amount paid after April 11, 2019 to repurchase common stock and
$375.0 million
. 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. We believe that we were in compliance with our debt covenants at
February 29, 2020
.

uses this warehouse repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans, which are reported as accrual loans within loans held-for-investment, net. There were no borrowings under this facility as of
February 29, 2020
.
Our Financial Services segment uses the residential facilities to finance its residential 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. The LMF Commercial facilities finance LMF Commercial loan originations and securitization activities and were secured by a
75%
interest in the originated commercial loans financed.
Borrowings and collateral under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were as follows:

If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be repaid by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting receivables on loans sold but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.
Changes in Capital Structure
In January 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to the lesser of
$1.0 billion
in value, or
25 million
in shares, of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date. The following table represents the repurchase of our Class A and Class B common stocks, under this program, for the
three months ended February 29, 2020

During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
, treasury stock increased due to our repurchase of
4.4 million
shares of Class A and Class B common stock through our stock repurchase program. During the
three months ended February 28, 2019
, treasury stock increased by
1.0 million
shares of Class A common stock due primarily to our repurchase of one million shares of Class A common stock through our stock repurchase program.
On April 7, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.125
per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock, payable on May 5, 2020 to holders of record at the close of business on April 21, 2020. On February 7, 2020, we paid cash dividends of
$0.125
per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock to holders of record at the close of business on January 24, 2020, as declared by our Board of Directors on January 9, 2020. We declared and paid cash
42
dividends of
$0.04
per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock in each quarter for the year ended November 30, 2019.
Based on our current financial condition and credit relationships, we believe that, assuming our operations are not significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for a protracted period, our operations and borrowing resources will provide for our current and long-term capital requirements at our anticipated levels of activity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Homebuilding: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At
February 29, 2020
, we had equity investments in 48 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which three had recourse debt, ten had non-recourse debt and 35 had no debt) compared to 50 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities at
November 30, 2019
. 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 partners. Each joint venture is governed by an executive committee consisting of members from the partners.
As of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, our recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were
$946.7 million
and
$1.0 billion
, respectively, while the underlying equity related to our investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of both
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
were
$1.3 billion
. 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 FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings on land sales to us. Included in our recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is our
40%
ownership of FivePoint. As of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the carrying amount of our investment in FivePoint was
$366.8 million
and
$374.0 million
, respectively.
The 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 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 of another unconsolidated entity or commingle funds among Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.
In connection with loans to a 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 against losses 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).
The total debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments was
$1.1 billion
as of both
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, of which our maximum recourse exposure was $4.9 million and $10.8 million as of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, respectively. In most instances in which we have guaranteed debt of a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, our partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payment. 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 connection with many of the loans to 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 Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase our share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.
43
As of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the fair values of the repayment, maintenance, and completion guarantees were not material. We believe that as of
February 29, 2020
, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, the collateral would 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 with regard to obligations of our joint ventures (see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
The following table summarizes the principal maturities of our Homebuilding unconsolidated entities ("JVs") debt as per current debt arrangements as of
February 29, 2020
and it does not represent estimates of future cash payments that will be made to reduce debt balances. Many JV loans have extension options in the loan agreements that would allow the loans to be extended into future years.

Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At
February 29, 2020
, Multifamily had equity investments in
21
unconsolidated entities that are engaged in multifamily residential developments (of which seven had non-recourse debt and 14 had no debt), compared to
19
unconsolidated entities at
November 30, 2019
. 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. Initially, we participated in building multifamily developments and selling them soon after they were completed. Recently, however, we have been focused on developing properties with the intention of retaining them. 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.
The Multifamily segment includes LMV I and LMV II, which are long-term multifamily development investment vehicles involved in the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. Details of each as of and during the

We regularly monitor the results of both our Homebuilding and Multifamily 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
February 29, 2020

Lennar Other: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
As part of the sale of the Rialto investment and asset management platform, we retained our ability to receive a portion of payments with regard to carried interests if funds meet specified performance thresholds. We periodically receive advance distributions related to the carried interests in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to the carried interests. These distributions are not subject to clawbacks but will reduce future carried interest payments to which we become entitled from the applicable funds and have been recorded as revenues.
As of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, we had strategic technology investments in unconsolidated entities of
$192.1 million
and $124.3 million, respectively.
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

Based on trailing twelve months of home deliveries.
We evaluate certain 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. Consolidated land purchase options are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as consolidated inventory not owned. Over the next several years, we plan to increase the controlled homesites to 40%-50% of our entire homesite inventory from approximately
31%
as of
February 29, 2020
. Recently, we have undertaken several strategic land initiatives which include acquiring fully developed homesites from regional developers and may also include building homes in bulk for landowners who will retain them as rental properties.
45
During the
three months ended February 29, 2020
, consolidated inventory not owned increased by
$104.3 million
with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
February 29, 2020
. The increase was primarily due to the consolidation of option contracts, partially offset by us exercising our options to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory that was consolidated, we had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
February 29, 2020
. 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 losses related to option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling
$306.0 million
and
$320.5 million
at
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, respectively. Additionally, we had posted
$75.0 million
of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of
February 29, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, 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, 2019
, except for
$300.0 million
of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.
(3) New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 12 of the Notes to 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

three months ended February 29, 2020
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, 2019

Item 4.
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

to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
47
filed or furnished under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our CEO and CFO also participated in an evaluation by our management of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
February 29, 2020
. 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 are a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2019, a subsidiary of ours was notified by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection of the subsidiary’s non-compliance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan regulations related to the clean-up of certain materials at a development formerly owned by that subsidiary in Hingham, MA. In February 2020, we paid a monetary settlement that was not material to resolve this matter.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by the outbreak of the coronavirus (also known as COVID-19). That is discussed in greater detail in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above.
Demand for our homes is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, interest rates, changes in stock market valuations, consumer confidence, housing demand, availability of financing for home buyers, availability and prices of new homes compared to existing inventory, and demographic trends. These factors, in particular consumer confidence, can be significantly adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond our control. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused the shutdown of large portions of our national economy. The spread of COVID-19 has also caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets, which can negatively impact consumer confidence. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. As a result of COVID-19, traffic in our Welcome Home Centers and sales have slowed significantly, and sales contract cancellations have increased significantly. If the virus continues to cause significant negative impacts to economic conditions or consumer confidence, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will be significantly adversely impacted.
