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 and nine months ended August 31, 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
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
included
$
396.9
million
and
$
565.8
million
, respectively, of cash held in escrow for approximately
three days
.
Share-based Payments
During the
three and nine months ended August 31, 2020
, the Company granted employees
0.9
million
and
1.8
million
nonvested shares, respectively. During both the
three and nine months ended August 31, 2019
, the Company granted employees
2.1
million
nonvested shares.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 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 December 1, 2019, the Company has recorded
$
150.7
million
of ROU assets and
$
159.7
million
of lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets within other assets and accounts payable or other liabilities of the respective segments.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2020 presentation. The Company's segments were adjusted, effective December 1, 2019, to reflect the North Carolina divisions within the Central segment, which were previously part of the East segment. This was due to a change in operations. This reclassification was between segments and had no impact on the Company's total assets, total equity, revenue or net income in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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, Pennsylvania and South Carolina
Central:
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina 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. The Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the residential loans it originates within a short period of time in the secondary mortgage market. The segment applies residential mortgage financing underwriting standards it believes are in-line with industry standards. The majority of the residential loans 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

as of
August 31, 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

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (Continued)
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.
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.

no
impairment charges were recorded during either the
three or nine months ended August 31, 2020

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
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the Company’s recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were
$
940.7
million
and
$
1.0
billion
, respectively, while the underlying equity in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
was
$
1.2
billion
and
$
1.3
billion
, respectively. 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
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the carrying amounts of the Company's FivePoint investment were
$
376.4
million
and
$
374.0
million
, respectively.
The total debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments was
$
1.1
billion
as of both
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, of which the Company's maximum recourse exposure was
$
4.9
million
and
$
10.8
million
as of
August 31, 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.
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
August 31, 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
August 31, 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).

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
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. As of
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of
$
933.2
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 and
nine months ended August 31, 2020
, the Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of
$
14.1
million
and
$
42.5
million
, respectively. During the three and
nine months ended August 31, 2019
, the Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of
$
14.3
million
and
$
40.7
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 and nine months ended August 31, 2020
, the Multifamily segment provided general contractor services, net of deferrals, totaling
$
101.1
million
and
$
299.5
million
, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of
$
97.2
million
and
$
287.6
million
, respectively. During the
three and nine months ended August 31, 2019
, the Multifamily segment provided general contractor services, net of deferrals, totaling
$
83.2
million
and
$
264.8
million
, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of
$
79.9
million
and
$
254.5
million
, respectively.
The Multifamily segment includes Multifamily Venture Fund I (the "LMV I") and Multifamily Venture Fund II LP (the "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

On October 1, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors increased its annual dividend to $1.00 per share from $0.50 per share resulting in a quarterly cash dividend of
$
0.25
per share on both its Class A and Class B common stock, payable on October 30, 2020 to holders of record at the close of business on October 16, 2020. On July 24, 2020, the Company paid cash dividends of
$
0.125
per share on both its Class A and Class B common stock to holders of record at the close of business on July 10, 2020, as declared by its Board of Directors on June 25, 2020. The Company approved and paid cash dividends of
$
0.04
per share on both its Class A and Class B common stock in each quarter for the year ended November 30, 2019.
In January 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to the lesser of

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:

At
August 31, 2020
, the Company had an unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with maximum borrowings of
$
2.4
billion
maturing in 2024. The Credit Facility agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides that up to
$
500
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 Agreement, which involves adjustments to GAAP financial measures. The Company believes it was in compliance with its debt covenants at
August 31, 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
August 31, 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.

August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, 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 table excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, net and accounts payable, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.

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.
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.

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

—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
August 31, 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 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:

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. This was particularly the case with regard to inventory owned at
August 31, 2020
, because of the need to consider the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions in determining whether there was a need for valuation adjustments and write-offs. 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
August 31, 2020
and
August 31, 2019
, there were
1,194
and
1,295
active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities
The Company evaluated the joint venture ("JV") agreements of its JV's that were formed or that had reconsideration events, such as changes in the governing documents or to debt arrangements during the
nine months ended August 31, 2020
. Based on the Company's evaluation, the Company consolidated
one
Homebuilding entity and
one
Multifamily entity that had a total assets and liabilities of
$
140.0
million
and
$
51.2
million
and
$
49.4
million
and
$
0.9
million
, respectively. The Company deconsolidated
two
Multifamily entities that had total assets of
$
37.2
million
and an immaterial amount of liabilities. In addition, the Company's Financial Services segment deconsolidated
one
entity that had total assets and liabilities of
$
291.2
million
and
$
204.1
million
, respectively. In January 2019, this JV was formed by the sale of the Company’s retail title agency and its retail title insurance business to this JV entity. In exchange for the sale of the retail agency and retail title insurance business, the Company received
20
%
of the JV entity’s preferred stock, warrants exercisable to purchase additional shares of preferred stock in the JV entity and a note due from the JV to the Company. The JV entity’s reconsideration event was due to a significant equity raise that was completed during the three months ended May 31, 2020. The proceeds of the equity raise resulted in approximately a
43
%
reduction of the principal amount of debt owed by the JV entity to the Company as well as an approximately
20
%
reduction of the Company’s ownership interest in the JV. The JV remains a VIE; however, the Company has concluded that it is no longer the primary beneficiary as the Company no longer has the power to direct the VIE. In particular, the additional infusion of equity from third party investors provides evidence that the JV entity is no longer financially dependent on the Company. The Company does not have the voting or economic power to direct the activities of the JV entity. As a result, the Company concluded that the JV entity should be deconsolidated which required fair value accounting for its equity investment and note receivable. The valuation assumptions used in determining fair value of the equity investment began by utilizing the capital raise discounted by public company comparable transactions that took into account the impact of
24
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (Continued)
COVID-19 and the economic shutdown and the lack of marketability of the Company’s investment. The valuation of the note receivable utilized the underlying cash flows and applied a discount, which was determined by using market comparables. The Company used discount rates ranging from
16
%
to
30
%
for the fair value calculations. In aggregate, the resulting fair value of the equity investment and note receivable totaled
$
123.4
million
, of which
$
70.8
million
was included in Financial Services investments in unconsolidated entities at the time of deconsolidation. Upon deconsolidation, the Company recorded a gain of
$
61.4
million
.
The carrying amount of our consolidated VIE's assets and non-recourse liabilities are disclosed in the footnote to the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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 lenders. Other than debt guarantee agreements with a VIE’s lenders, 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.

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
nine months ended August 31, 2020
, consolidated inventory not owned increased by
$
82.4
million
with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated
25
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (Continued)
balance sheet as of
August 31, 2020
. The increase was primarily related to the Company entering into option contracts, which required consolidation during the period, 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
August 31, 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
$
325.4
million
and
$
320.5
million
at
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, respectively. Additionally, the Company had posted
$
76.8
million
and
$
75.0
million
of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, respectively. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reviewed its option contracts as of
August 31, 2020
and had no write-offs of costs related to option contracts because of the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended
August 31, 2020
.

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. From time to time, 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 lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 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
August 31, 2020
, the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate used in calculating the lease liabilities were
2.7
years and
3.1

, respectively. The Company recognized the lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts payable or other liabilities of the respective segments.
Rental expense for the
nine months ended August 31, 2020
, was
$
62.6
million
. Payments on lease liabilities during the
nine months ended August 31, 2020
totaled
$

. 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
nine months ended August 31, 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. While the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact 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.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,
Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
("ASU 2019-12"). ASU 2019-12 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2019-12 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
August 31, 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
August 31, 2020
was as follows:

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. 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. 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.
The 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 potential negative impact to our business of the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the duration, impact and severity of which is highly uncertain; 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; 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; reduced availability of mortgage financing or increased interest rates; our inability to successfully execute our strategies, including our land lighter strategy and our strategy to monetize non-core assets; 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 further 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, Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our 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
Our third quarter was a solid quarter for Lennar, reflecting the robust state of the housing market across the country. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the home has become more and more essential to the way we live and to the quality of our lives. Inventories are limited and demand remains strong driven by low interest rates and a customer focus on owning and controlling their lifestyle. Our measured growth strategy in the current market is to focus on selling current inventory, which improves our inventory turn, while being patient with longer-term sales, which enables expected price appreciation to offset future cost escalations to maximize margin.
As expected, our closings in the third quarter were limited by the production pause we took in March, April and May as we assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the housing market. We increased production as the market recovered and expect this to generate increased deliveries as we move into 2021. We expect to deliver between 15,500 and 16,000 homes in the fourth quarter of 2020. While community count is difficult to predict, we expect our community count to increase approximately 10% in 2021.
37
For the short term, we are already extremely well positioned to manage costs and meet demand. While we're selling through communities somewhat faster than expected, we are well fortified with strong land positions that will be brought online. And while lumber, in particular, and other costs are rising, we are actively managing sales pace, primarily to started homes in order to manage that cost risk. During the third quarter, our ability to raise prices together with our focus on cost controls enabled us to increase our gross and operating margins by 270 basis points and 310 basis points, respectively. In addition, our laser focus on improving our SG&A leverage combined with the benefits of our increased use of technology helped drive our SG&A to a historical third quarter low of 8.0% of home sale revenues. We believe our strong margins will continue throughout 2021, and we expect our bottom line to grow faster than our top line.
For the intermediate term, we are and have been accelerating starts and production of homes under construction, while also accelerating the readiness of new communities that we control wherever possible. And for the longer term, we are focused on ramping up our land purchases for new communities as we believe the industry will have a sustained expansion for the foreseeable future. We have remained focused on our optioned versus owned land strategy and will continue to manage towards a 50%-50% target. At the end of the third quarter, the portion of land we controlled through options or similar agreements was 35%, up from 30% in the third quarter of 2019. In addition, we ended the quarter with a 3.8 year supply of land owned, compared to a 4.4 year supply of land owned in the third quarter of 2019. Among other things, this has increased our cash flow, which enabled us to reduce debt such that our quarter-end homebuilding debt-to-total capital ratio improved to 29.5%. We expect to be in a strong cash and liquidity position, and plan to continue to pay down debt, resume some form of a stock reacquisition program and look at other ways to properly deploy capital to enhance returns.
Our financial services segment also had an excellent quarter, benefiting from an increase in volume and margins, as well as technology enabled efficiencies. We are also focused on monetizing non-core assets, including our Multifamily platform, which we view as a blue-chip asset, but does not generate the type of returns we get from our core businesses.
With a solid balance sheet, leading positions in almost all of our homebuilding markets and continued execution of our core operating strategies, we believe that we are well positioned to meet demand, drive high margins and cash flow and continue to grow with the market.
(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 nine months ended August 31, 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, a variety of factors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can alter seasonal patterns.
Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were
$666.4 million
, or
$2.12
per diluted share (
$2.13
per basic share), in the
third quarter of 2020
, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of
$513.4 million
, or
$1.59
per diluted share (
$1.60

During the
nine months ended August 31, 2019
, we acquired 13 homes in backlog.
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.

versus Three Months Ended
August 31, 2019
Homebuilding East:
Revenues from home sales decreased in the
third quarter of 2020
compared to the
third quarter of 2019
, primarily due to a decrease in the number of home deliveries in all the states of the segment except in New Jersey, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states of the segment except in Pennsylvania. The decrease in the number of home deliveries was primarily due to the effects of COVID-19 and the economic shutdown. The increase in the number of home deliveries in New Jersey was primarily due to higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased during the quarter. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to favorable market conditions. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in 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
third quarter of 2020
increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to reducing our construction costs and an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.

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.
The following table sets forth selected financial and operational information related to the residential mortgage and title activities of our Financial Services segment:

, which included
$288.5 million
of repurchases under our repurchase program and
$30.3 million
of repurchases related to our equity compensation plan. These were partially offset by
$175.6 million
of receipts related to noncontrolling interests.
During the
nine months ended August 31, 2019
, cash used in financing activities was primarily impacted by (1) payment at maturity of
$500.0 million
aggregate principal amount of our 4.50% senior notes due June 2019; (2)
$423.1 million
of net repayments under our Financial Services' warehouse facilities, which included the LMF Commercial warehouse repurchase facilities; (3)
$154.7 million
principal payment on other borrowings; and (4) repurchases of our common stock for
$419.3 million
, which included
$394.7 million
of repurchases of our stock under our repurchase program and
$24.6 million
of repurchases related to our equity compensation plan. These were partially offset by (1)
$700 million
of net borrowings under our Credit Facility; and (2)
$62.6 million
proceeds from other borrowings.
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 homebuilding operations. Homebuilding debt to total capital and net Homebuilding debt to total capital are calculated as follows:

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
August 31, 2020
, Homebuilding debt to total capital improved compared to
August 31, 2019
and
November 30, 2019
, primarily as a result of a decrease in Homebuilding debt and an increase in stockholders' equity due to 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 of 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
August 31, 2020
, we had an unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with maximum borrowings of
$2.4 billion
maturing 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 the Financial Condition and Capital Resources section of our 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
August 31, 2020
.

$11.4 million
as of
August 31, 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 and

During the
nine months ended August 31, 2020
, treasury stock increased primarily due to our repurchase of
4.4 million
shares of Class A and Class B common stock through our stock repurchase program. During the
nine months ended August 31, 2019
, treasury stock increased due to our repurchase of
8.1 million
shares of Class A common stock during the
nine months ended August 31, 2019
through our stock repurchase program and
0.6 million
shares of Class A common stock primarily due to activity related to our equity compensation plan.
On October 1, 2020, our Board of Directors increased our annual dividend to $1.00 per share from $0.50 per share resulting in a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.25
per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock, payable on October 30, 2020 to holders of record at the close of business on October 16, 2020. On July 24, 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 July 10, 2020, as
50
declared by our Board of Directors on June 25, 2020. We declared and paid cash 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 the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting governmental actions on our operations do not significantly worsen 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
August 31, 2020
, we had equity investments in 39 active homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which three had recourse debt, nine had non-recourse debt and 27 had no debt) compared to 36 active 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
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, our recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were
$940.7 million
and
$1.0 billion
, respectively, while the underlying equity related to our investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
were
$1.2 billion
and
$1.3 billion
, 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 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
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the carrying amounts of our investment in FivePoint were
$376.4 million
and
$374.0 million
, respectively.
The total debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments was
$1.1 billion
as of both
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, of which our maximum recourse exposure was
$4.9 million
and
$10.8 million
as of
August 31, 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.
As of
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, the fair values of the repayment, maintenance, and completion guarantees were not material. We believe that as of
August 31, 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
August 31, 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
51
extended into future years.

Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At
August 31, 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
August 31, 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
52
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
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, we had strategic technology investments in unconsolidated entities of
$196.1 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 50% of our entire homesite inventory from approximately
35%
as of
August 31, 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.
During the
nine months ended August 31, 2020
, consolidated inventory not owned increased by
$82.4 million
with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
August 31, 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 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
August 31, 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
$325.4 million
and
$320.5 million
at
August 31, 2020
and
November 30, 2019
, respectively. Additionally, we had posted
$76.8 million
and $75.0 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of
August 31, 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
. There were no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility as of

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. From time to time, we are 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.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting governmental actions.
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 COVID-19 pandemic has caused the shutdown of large portions of our national economy. While portions of the national economy have reopened, there is still 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. With the exception of a period in March and April, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economy do not appear to have adversely affected our home sales through the quarter ended August 31, 2020. However, this may not continue to be the case. 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 continuing severity of COVID-19, whether there are additional outbreaks of COVID-19, and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. If the virus continues to cause significant negative impacts to economic conditions or consumer confidence, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.
