Third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $284 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared to third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 of $591 million, or $2.29 per diluted share. Excluding mark-to-market losses of $53 million on technology investments and one-time items of $39 million, net, in the Company's Financial Services segment, third quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $294 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, compared to $516 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, excluding mark-to-market gains of $99 million on technology investments, in the third quarter of 2025. Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Lennar, said, “Our third quarter 2026 results reflect consistent focus on our operating strategy of maintaining volume and production while navigating a challenging economic environment. While our earnings of $1.19 per share were below expectations, they reflect the nature of the environment in which we are operating, which has deteriorated since our last earnings call.” “Mortgage rates increased through the quarter, with the 30-year rate at approximately 6.8% at quarter end and even higher since. Rates are responding as inflation remains above the Fed’s target, driven by geopolitical tension and higher oil prices. Additionally, consumer confidence has declined as rates and affordability have driven more consumers to slow their purchase decision. Nevertheless, even while market conditions have weakened, the overall housing environment remains constructive as housing shortages continue to drive demand from both primary buyers as well as ‘single-family for rent’ and ‘build-to-rent’ buyers.” “Against that backdrop, our team adhered to our strategy of leveraging consistent volume in order to drive costs lower. We delivered 20,840 homes, within our guidance of 20,500 to 21,500, generated 20,879 new orders and produced total revenues of $8.0 billion. Our starts pace and sales pace were both 4.1 homes per community per month across our 1,713 active communities, reflecting the even-flow balance that drives efficiency.” “By maintaining volume, we have improved execution across numerous key metrics. Our construction cost per square foot improved another 1% sequentially, 6% year over year, and 14% since our fourth quarter 2023 baseline. Our cycle time reached a new record low of 116 days, down from 121 days last quarter and 126 days a year ago. Additionally, we reduced our completed, unsold inventory to 1.8 homes per community from 2.1 homes per community last quarter, and our inventory turn stands at 2.4 times. Of the approximately 488,000 homesites we own and control, we own fewer than 2.5%, on our balance sheet. Finally, we ended the quarter with $1.2 billion in cash, as we repurchased 3 million shares of stock for $256 million and repaid $400 million of senior notes.” “Our average sales price was $372,000, reflecting approximately 12.0% in incentives, along with base price adjustments necessary to sustain volume in a market where affordability remains the defining constraint. Our gross margin improved sequentially to 15.8%, with SG&A of 9.2% resulting in a net margin of 6.6%.” “Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2026, we expect to generate new orders of approximately 19,500 to 20,500 homes, and to deliver approximately 22,000 to 23,000 homes with gross margin of approximately 15.5% to 16.0%. We expect our average sales price to be in the range of approximately $370,000 to $380,000 and our SG&A to improve toward 8.7% to 9.0%. Given continued pressure on interest rates and the deterioration in market 3-3-3 conditions through the quarter, we are moderating our target full-year 2026 deliveries to approximately 80,000 to 81,000 homes, from the 82,000 to 83,000 homes we discussed last quarter.” Mr. Miller concluded, “Our consistent strategy has been to meet demand at affordability and build supply rather than wait the market out. We have prioritized volume to create needed supply for the market, which we deliver at affordable prices, while we leverage scale advantages and ultimately improve margins. The fundamental shortage of housing in America has not been solved. We remain deeply committed to building the homes America needs, at prices families can afford, and to ultimately generate the returns our shareholders deserve.” RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIRD QUARTER 2026 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2025 Homebuilding Revenues from home sales decreased 6% in the third quarter of 2026 to $7.7 billion from $8.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Revenues were lower primarily due to both a 3% decrease in the average sales price of homes and a 3% decrease in the number of home deliveries. New home deliveries were 20,840 homes in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 21,584 homes in the third quarter of 2025. The average sales price of homes delivered was $372,000 in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $383,000 in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to continued weakness in the market. Gross margins on home sales were $1.2 billion, or 15.8%, in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $1.4 billion, or 17.5%, in the third quarter of 2025. During the third quarter of 2026, gross margins decreased primarily due to lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, which were partially offset by a decrease in construction costs, reflecting the Company's continued focus on cost-saving initiatives. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $714 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $676 million in the third quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.2% in the third quarter of 2026, from 8.2% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to less leverage as a result of lower revenues and an increase in marketing and selling expenses. Financial Services Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $129 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to operating earnings of $177 million in the third quarter of 2025, both amounts are net of noncontrolling interest. The operating earnings in the third quarter of 2026 included one-time items of $39 million, net, primarily related to a litigation accrual reversal resulting from a court judgment. Excluding the one-time items in the current quarter, the decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower profit per locked loan and lower lock volume in the mortgage business. 4-4-4 Ancillary Businesses Operating loss for the Multifamily segment was $3 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to an operating loss of $16 million in the third quarter of 2025. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $84 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to operating earnings of $62 million in the third quarter of 2025. The Lennar Other operating loss for third quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by mark-to-market losses of $53 million on the Company's technology investments. The Lennar Other operating earnings for third quarter of 2025 were primarily driven by mark-to-market gains of $99 million on the Company's technology investments. Tax Rate In the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company had tax provisions of $102 million and $191 million, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 26.4% and 24.4%, respectively. For both periods, the Company's effective income tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits. The increase in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the prior period was primarily due to the Company's spin-off of Millrose Properties, Inc. Share Repurchases In the third quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 3 million shares of its common stock for $256 million at an average share price of $85.49.

(2) EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest and taxes. This financial measure has been presented because the Company finds it important and useful in evaluating its performance and believes that it helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare its operations with those of its competitors. Although management finds EBIT to be an important measure in conducting and evaluating the Company's operations, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool as it is not reflective of the actual profitability generated by the Company during the period. Management compensates for the limitations of using EBIT by using this non-GAAP measure only to supplement the Company's GAAP results. Due to the limitations discussed, EBIT should not be viewed in isolation, as it is not a substitute for GAAP measures. 7-7-7 LENNAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Segment Information (In thousands) (unaudited) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended August 31, August 31, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Homebuilding revenues: Sales of homes $ 7,733,588 8,213,580 21,601,549 23,242,401 Sales of land 18,442 30,521 46,001 109,042 Other homebuilding 7,467 9,574 26,824 29,964 Total homebuilding revenues 7,759,497 8,253,675 21,674,374 23,381,407 Homebuilding costs and expenses: Costs of homes sold 6,512,260 6,779,563 18,246,493 19,070,239 Costs of land sold 16,216 41,065 69,071 133,315 Selling, general and administrative 714,040 676,491 2,029,930 1,981,077 Total homebuilding costs and expenses 7,242,516 7,497,119 20,345,494 21,184,631 Homebuilding net margins 516,981 756,556 1,328,880 2,196,776 Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities 4,808 10,190 45,659 62,910 Homebuilding other income (expense), net (19,827) (6,961) (10,178) 37,606 Homebuilding operating earnings $ 501,962 759,785 1,364,361 2,297,292 Financial Services revenues $ 226,121 314,195 678,615 889,370 Financial Services costs and expenses (1) 95,805 136,323 355,883 410,735 Financial Services operating earnings $ 130,316 177,872 322,732 478,635 Multifamily revenues $ 38,475 228,465 184,538 521,966 Multifamily costs and expenses 40,868 238,791 204,084 566,844 Multifamily equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net (476) (6,145) 52,861 13,630 Multifamily operating earnings (loss) $ (2,869) (16,471) 33,315 (31,248) Lennar Other revenues $ 22,026 13,943 67,940 26,582 Lennar Other costs and expenses 48,393 45,450 135,803 99,039 Lennar Other equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other (3,905) (5,218) 1,815 (14,503) Lennar Other gains (losses) from technology investments (53,335) 99,223 (61,749) 7,280 Lennar Other operating earnings (loss) $ (83,607) 62,498 (127,797) (79,680) (1) Includes one-time items of $39 million, net, primarily related to a litigation accrual reversal resulting from a court judgment, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2026. 8-8-8 LENNAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Summary of Deliveries, New Orders and Backlog (Dollars in thousands, except average sales price) (unaudited) Lennar's reportable homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately have divisions located in: East: Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania Central: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland/Virginia, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee South Central: Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas West: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington Other: Urban divisions Three Months Ended August 31, 2026 2025 2026 2025 2026 2025 Deliveries: Homes Dollar Value Average Sales Price East 5,017 4,905 $ 1,865,545 1,797,088 $ 372,000 366,000 Central 5,322 5,334 1,943,777 2,020,518 365,000 379,000 South Central 5,969 6,413 1,372,191 1,507,314 230,000 235,000 West 4,529 4,926 2,588,288 2,950,118 571,000 599,000 Other 3 6 1,284 3,622 428,000 604,000 Total 20,840 21,584 $ 7,771,085 8,278,660 $ 372,000 383,000 Of the total homes delivered listed above, 51 homes with a dollar value of $37 million and an average sales price of $735,000 represent homes from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to 146 homes with a dollar value of $65 million and an average sales price of $446,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2025.

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