Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(1)Basis of Presentation
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lennar Corporation and all subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities in which Lennar Corporation has a controlling interest and variable interest entities ("VIEs") (see Note 1610 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, 2018.2019. 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, 2019February 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents as of February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019 included $502.2 million and $565.8 million, respectively, of cash held in escrow for approximately three days.
Share-based Payments
During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company granted employees 0.9 million nonvested shares. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company granted employees an immaterial number of nonvested shares.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. ASU 2014-09 became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several ASUs such as ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASU 2017-05"), among others. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2014-09, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the revenue standard. These ASUs had the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company has adopted the modified retrospective method. The Company elected to use the practical expedient within ASU 2017-05 to apply the standard only to contracts not yet completed as of the date of adoption. This will result in higher gains on future sales of partial real estate interests due to recognizing 100% of the gain on the sale of the partial interest and recording the retained noncontrolling interest at fair value. The Company recorded an immaterial net increase to retained earnings as of December 1, 2018, due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, with the impact primarily related to the recognition of deferral of net margin from home deliveries.
In AugustMarch 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230),2016-02, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash PaymentsLeases ("ASU 2016-15"2016-02")., which provides guidance for accounting for leases. ASU 2016-15 reduces2016-02 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 existing diversity in practice in financial reporting across all industries by clarifying certain existing principles in ASC 230, Statementlease 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 Cash Flows, including providing additional guidance on how and what an entity should consider in determining the classification of certain cash flows.lease. Accounting for lessors remains largely unchanged from current GAAP. ASU

2016-15 2016-02 was effective for the Company’s fiscal yearCompany beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods.2019. The Company elected the available practical expedients on adoption. Additionally, in preparation for adoption of ASU 2016-15the standard, the Company has implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information. The standard did not have a material effectimpact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash, effective December 1, 2018. The amendments in the standard require that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. As a result, the Company's beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash balances presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows were retrospectively adjusted to include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, the Company removed the presentation of cash dividends per each Class A and Class B common share from the accompanyingour condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). This is now disclosed with the analysis or our condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity within Note 5cash flows. As a result of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurementadoption, as of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicality exception. A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, and as such, these investments may be measured at cost. ASU 2016-01 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017- 01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of addressing whether transactions involving in-substance nonfinancial assets, held directly or in a subsidiary, should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of nonfinancial assets or of businesses. ASU 2017-01 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Homebuilding revenues and related profits from sales of homes are recognized at the time of the closing of a sale, when title to and possession of the property are transferred to the homebuyer. The Company’s performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Cash proceeds from home closings held in escrow for the Company’s benefit, typically for approximately three days, are included in Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosed in Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Contract liabilities include customer deposits liabilities related to sold but undelivered homes that are included in other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company periodically elects to sell parcels of land to third parties. Cash consideration from land sales is typically due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized as title to and possession of the property are transferred to the buyer.
The Company’s financial services’ operations recognize revenues as follows: Title premiums on policies issued directly by the Company are recognized as revenue on the effective date of the title policies. Escrow fees and loan origination revenues are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. Revenues from title policies issued by independent agents are recognized as revenue when notice of issuance is received from the agent, which is generally when cash payment is received by the Company.
The Company’s Multifamily segment provides management services with respect to the development, construction and property management of rental projects in joint ventures in whichFebruary 29, 2020, the Company has investments. As a result, the Multifamily segment earnsrecorded $143.7 million of ROU assets and receives fees, which are generally based upon a stated percentage$150.8 million of development and construction costs and a percentage of gross rental collections. These fees are recorded over the period in which the services are performed using an input method, which properly depicts the level of effort required to complete the management services. In addition, the Multifamily segment provides general contractor services for the construction of some oflease liabilities on its rental projects and recognizes the revenue over the period in which the services are performed using an input method, which properly depicts the level of effort required to complete the construction services. These customer contracts require the Company to provide management and general contractor services which represents a performance obligation that the Company satisfies over time. Management fees and general contractor services in the Multifamily segment are included in Multifamily revenue.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform withbalance sheets within other assets and other liabilities of the 2019 presentation.

The remaining assets retained related to the Company's former Rialto segment were included in the Lennar Other segment. In addition, the Company's strategic technology investments, which were part of Homebuilding, were reclassified to be included in the Lennar Other segment.

(2)Business Acquisitions
Acquisition of CalAtlantic Group, Inc.
On February 12, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of CalAtlantic Group, Inc. (“CalAtlantic”) through a transaction in which CalAtlantic was merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). CalAtlantic was a homebuilder which built homes across the homebuilding spectrum, from entry level to luxury, in 43 metropolitan statistical areas spanning 19 states. CalAtlantic also provided mortgage, title and escrow services. A primary reason for the acquisition was to increase local market concentration in order to generate synergies and efficiencies.
Based on an evaluation of the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, ("ASC 805"), Lennar Corporation was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The $3.3 billion allocated to Homebuilding goodwill and the $175 million allocated to Financial Services goodwill is final and represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Warranty reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. Consistent with ASC 450, Contingencies, legal reserves are established when a loss is considered probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
(4)Fair value of noncontrolling interests was measured using discounted cash flows of expected future contributions and distributions.

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.

Operations of the Company’s Homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the Homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, other revenues from management fees and forfeited deposits, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, and selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment.
The Company’s reportable Homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately have homebuilding divisions located in:
East: Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and South Carolina
Central: Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota and Virginia
Texas: Texas

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 RMF business.LMF Commercial business, formerly Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF").

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 as well as in other states.operations.

(1)During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, other income was primarily attributable to a $64.9 million gain on the settlement of contingent consideration recorded by one Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, of which the Company's pro-rata share was $25.9 million. During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, other income was primarily due to FivePoint recording income resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017’s reduction in its corporate tax rate to reduce its liability pursuant to its tax receivable agreement (“TRA Liability”) with its non-controlling interests. However, the Company has a 70% interest in the FivePoint TRA Liability. Therefore, the Company did not include in Homebuilding’s equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities its pro-rata share of earnings related to the Company’s portion of the TRA Liability. As a result, the Company’s unconsolidated entities have net earnings, but the Company has an equity in loss from unconsolidated entities.
For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2019, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities.
For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of valuation adjustments related to assets of Homebuilding's unconsolidated entities and the Company's share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities excluding other income.

(1)Debt presented above is net of debt issuance costs of $9.7 million and $12.4$11.4 million as of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively.

(2)Homebuilding investments in unconsolidated entities as of November 30, 2018, does not include $62.0 million of the negative investment balance for one unconsolidated entity as it was reclassed to other liabilities.
As of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company’s recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $1.0 billion and $870.2 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018 was $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The basis difference was primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in 3 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, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying amount of the Company's investment was $380.5 million and $342.7 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company sold 80% of a strategic joint venture to a third-party resulting in a gain of $164.9 million recorded in Homebuilding other income, net within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, the Company and its partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities.
The total debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments, including Lennar's maximum recourse exposure, were as follows:

The Company’s maximum recourse exposure as a % of total JV debt1% 5%

(1)As of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company's maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to the Company providing repayment guarantees on 2 and 4 unconsolidated entities' debt, respectively. The decrease in maximum recourse exposure and total debt was primarily related to the Company's consolidation of a previously unconsolidated entity in the second quarter of 2019.
In most instances in which the Company has guaranteed debt of a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payments. In a repayment guarantee, the Company and its venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral.
In connection with many of the loans to Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, the Company and its joint venture partners (or entities related to them) have been required to give guarantees of completion to the lenders. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the construction is to be done in phases, the guarantee generally is limited to completing only the phases as to which construction has already commenced and for which loan proceeds were used.
If the Company is required to make a payment under any guarantee, the payment would constitute a capital contribution or loan to the 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, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the fair values of the repayment guarantees, maintenance guarantees, and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of August 31, 2019, 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 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

(1)For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2019, the effective tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by energy credits. For the three months ended August 31, 2018, the effective tax rate included tax benefits for tax accounting method changes implemented during the third quarter, energy credits and the domestic production activities deduction. For the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the effective tax rate included a non-cash one-time write down of the deferred tax assets due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, offset primarily by tax accounting method changes, energy tax credits and tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction. Excluding the one-time non-cash deferred tax asset write down of $68.6 million recorded in the first quarter of 2018 due to the tax reform bill and the $34.1 million benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2018, primarily related to tax accounting method changes and energy credits, the tax rate for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 would have been 22.6%.
As of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company's deferred tax assets, net, included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $370.0 million and $515.5 million, respectively.
As of both August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company had $14.7 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits.
At August 31, 2019, the Company had $55.0 million accrued for interest and penalties, which increased $2.1 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2019. At November 30, 2018, the Company had $52.9 million accrued for interest and penalties.
(7)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.

In connection with the sale of the majority of its retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter in the first quarter of 2019, the Company provided seller financing and received a substantial minority equity ownership stake in the buyer. The combination of both the equity and debt components of this transaction caused the transaction not to meet the accounting requirements for sale treatment and, therefore, the Company is required to consolidate the buyer’s results at this time.

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.

Homebuilding Unconsolidated Entities
As of February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019, the Company’s recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $946.7 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, while the underlying equity in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of both February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019 was $1.3 billion. The basis difference was primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in 3 strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings on land sales to the Company. Included in the Company's recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is the Company's 40% ownership of FivePoint. As of February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019, the carrying amount of the Company's FivePoint investment was $366.8 million and $374.0 million, respectively.
The Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, the Company and its partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities.
The total debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments was $1.1 billion as of both February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019, of which the Company's maximum recourse exposure was $4.9 million and $10.8 million as of February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019, respectively. In most instances in which the Company has guaranteed debt of an unconsolidated entity, the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payments. In a repayment guarantee, the Company and its venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral.
In connection with many of the loans to Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, the Company and its joint venture partners (or entities related to them) have been required to give guarantees of completion to the lenders. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the development or construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the development or construction is to be done in phases, the guarantee generally is limited to completing only the phases as to which construction has already commenced and for which loan proceeds were used.
If the Company is required to make a payment under any guarantee, the payment would constitute a capital contribution or loan to the Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated entity and its share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.
As of both February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019, the fair values of the repayment guarantees, maintenance guarantees, and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of February 29, 2020, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, the collateral would be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or the Company and its partners would contribute additional capital into the venture. In certain instances, the Company has placed performance letters of credit and surety bonds with municipalities with regard to obligations of its joint ventures (see Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

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, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. Additionally, asAs of August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018, the Multifamily segment had $1.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding primarily for credit enhancements for the bank debt of certain of its unconsolidated entities and deposits on land purchase contracts.

(6)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:

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.
Lennar Other—The fair value for investments held-to-maturity is based on discounted cash flows. For notesCorporation and other debts payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value dueSubsidiaries

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

The following methodsfair value of these servicing rights is included in Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of February 29, 2020 and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:November 30, 2019. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.
RMFLMF 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.

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 was included in Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.
Financial Services investments available-for-sale - The fair value of these investments is based on the quoted market prices for similar financial instruments.
Financial Services mortgage loan commitments - Fair value of commitments to originate loans is based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Financial Services segment has committed to originate the loans. The fair value of commitments to sell loan contracts is the estimated amount that the Financial Services segment would receive or pay to terminate the commitments at the reporting date based on market prices for similar financial instruments. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.

The Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") forward commitments, option contracts and investor commitments to hedge its mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting the Company’s counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting the Company’s credit standards. The segment’s risk, in the event of default by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and option contracts. At August 31, 2019, the segment had open commitments amounting to $1.6 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through November 2019.

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, 2018.2019.
The Company estimates the fair value of inventory evaluated for impairment based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the inventory is evaluated, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or assumptions change. For example, changes in market conditions and other specific developments or changes in assumptions may cause the Company to re-evaluate its strategy regarding previously impaired inventory, as well as inventory not currently impaired but for which indicators of impairment may arise if market deterioration occurs, and certain other assets that could result in further valuation adjustments and/or additional write-offs of option deposits and pre-acquisition costs due to abandonment of those options contracts.
The Company disclosed its accounting policy related to inventories and its review for indicators of impairment in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2019. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its active communities for indicators of potential impairments. As of August 31,February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, and 2018, there were 1,2951,253 and 1,3071,287 active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, respectively. AsThe table below summarizes communities reviewed for indicators of August 31, 2019, the Company identified 47impairment and communities with 2,554 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $331.2 million as having potential indicators of impairment. For the nine months ended August 31, 2019, the Company recorded a valuation adjustment of $2.0 million on 110 homesites in 1 community with a carrying value of $6.2 million.
As of August 31, 2018, the Company identified 15 communities with 843 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $219.3 million as having potential indicators of impairment. For the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company recorded valuation adjustments of $29.4 million on 688 homesites in 5 communities with a carrying value of $56.5 million.recorded:

The Company evaluated the joint venture agreements of its joint ventures that were formed or that had reconsideration events, such as changes in the governing documents or to debt arrangements during the ninethree months ended August 31, 2019.February 29, 2020. Based on the Company's evaluation, during the nine months ended August 31, 2019, the Company consolidated 5 entities1 entity that had a total combined assets and liabilities of $505.2$49.4 million and $602.1$0.9 million, respectively. During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, there were no VIEsrespectively and deconsolidated an entity that were deconsolidated.had an immaterial amount of assets and liabilities.
Consolidated VIEs
AsThe carrying amount of August 31, 2019, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’our consolidated VIE's assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $1.0 billion and $577.7 million, respectively. As of November 30, 2018,are disclosed in the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $666.2 million and $242.5 million, respectively. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the VIEs, not the Company.
The increase in VIEs' assets and non-recourse liabilities during the nine months ended August 31, 2019 was primarily duefootnote to the consolidation of an unconsolidated entity related to the sale of the majority of the Company's retail title agency business. In connection with the sale of the majority of its retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter in the first quarter of 2019, the Company provided seller financing and received a substantial minority equity ownership stake in the buyer. The combination of both the equity and debt components of this transaction caused the transaction not to meet the accounting requirements for sale treatment and, therefore, the Company is required to consolidate the buyer’s results at this time.condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company consolidated a previously unconsolidated entity, which resulted from a reconsideration event that required the reassessment of a homebuilding unconsolidated entity. The reconsideration event was the change of the entity’s conclusion with respect to future capital calls required to fund operations and debt repayments. Upon reconsideration, the Company determined that the homebuilding entity continued to meet the accounting definition of a VIE and the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company consolidated the previously unconsolidated entity’s net assets at estimated fair value. The determination of fair value of the homebuilding entity’s net assets requires the discounting of estimated cash flows at a rate the Company believes a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the homebuilding entity and related cash flow streams. The Company used a 15% discount rate in determining the fair value of the entity, which was subject to perceived risks associated with the entity’s cash flow streams. There was no non-controlling interest recorded in consolidation. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time loss of $48.9 million from the consolidation which was included in Homebuilding other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended August 31, 2019, the Company bought out the partner's interest in the entity and therefore at August 31, 2019, the entity is no longer considered a VIE. At August 31, 2019, the consolidated homebuilding entity had total assets and liabilities of $240.5 million and $373.5 million, respectively.
A VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of that VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of the Company’s senior notes or other debts payable. The assets held by a VIE usually are collateral for that VIE’s debt. The Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to a VIE unless the Company and/or the other partner(s) have entered into debt guarantees with a VIE’s banks. Other than debt guarantee agreements with a VIE’s banks, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to a VIE. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts.
Unconsolidated VIEs
At August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, the Company’s recorded investments in VIEs that are unconsolidated and its estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows:

(1)As of August 31, 2019, the maximum exposureLimited to loss of Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs, was limited primarily to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. As of November 30, 2018, the maximum exposure to loss of Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to repayment guarantees of one unconsolidated entity's debt of $54.8 million.as noted below.
(2)As of August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, the maximum exposure to loss of Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was primarily limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to the remaining equity commitment of $268.6$191.3 million and $237.0$224.2 million, respectively, to fund LMV I and LMV II for future expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects and $1.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding for certain of the unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements.
(3)At both August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of the Financial Services segment was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, which included $166.7 million and $137.0 million, respectively, related to the Financial Services' CMBS investments held-to-maturity.
(4)At both August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of the Lennar Other segment was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, which included $60.8 million and $60.0 million, respectively, related to the Lennar Other segment's CMBS investments held-to-maturity.projects.
While these entities are VIEs, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance is generally shared and the Company and its partners are not de-facto agents. While the Company generally manages the day-to-day operations of the VIEs, each of these VIEs has an executive committee made up of representatives from each partner. The members of the executive committee have equal votes and major decisions require unanimous consent and approval from all members. The Company does not have the unilateral ability to exercise participating voting rights without partner consent.
As of August 31, 2019, the Company and other partners did not have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs, except for $268.6 million remaining equity commitment to fund LMV I and LMV II for future expenditures related to the construction and development of the projects and $1.2 million of letters of credit outstanding for certain Multifamily

unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements. In addition, thereThere 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 ninethree months ended August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $143.1$104.3 million with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2019.February 29, 2020. The increase was primarily related to the consolidation of option contracts, partially offset by the Company exercising its options to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, the Company had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2019.February 29, 2020. The liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned primarily represent the difference between the option exercise prices for the optioned land and the Company’s cash deposits.
The Company’s exposure to losses related to its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of its non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $311.1$306.0 million and $209.5$320.5 million at August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, respectively. Additionally, for both periods, the Company had posted $74.8 million and $72.4$75.0 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, respectively.

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

(18)(1)Total future minimum lease payments exclude variable lease costs of $13.4 million and short-term lease costs of $2.8 million. This also does not include minimum lease payments for executed and legally enforceable leases that have not yet commenced. As of February 29, 2020, the minimum lease payments for these leases that have not yet commenced were immaterial.
(2)The Company's leases do not include a readily determinable implicit rate. As such, the Company has estimated the discount rate for these leases to determine the present value of lease payments at the lease commencement date or as of December 1, 2019, which was the effective date of ASU 2016-02. As of February 29, 2020, the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate used in calculating the lease liabilities were 3.4 years and 3.1%, respectively. The Company recognized the lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets within other liabilities.
Rental expense for the three months ended February 29, 2020, was $20.7 million. Payments on lease liabilities during the three months ended February 29, 2020 totaled $17.4 million. Rental expense includes costs for all leases. On occasion, the Company may sublease rented space which is no longer used for the Company's operations. For the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company had an immaterial amount of sublease income.

(12)New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. The lease classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest rate method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Accounting for lessors remains largely unchanged from current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2019 and subsequent interim periods. While the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company believes the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and related liabilities, but the Company does not expect a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued ASUs 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, and 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-02. 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 2016-02.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning December 1, 2020 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses and ASU 2019-05,
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries

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.

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, 2019February 29, 2020 they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, disclosed in Note 127 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, 2019February 29, 2020 was as follows:

(14)Subsequent Event
Subsequent to February 29, 2020, the United States has been severely impacted by a coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While response to the COVID-19 outbreak continues to rapidly evolve, it has led to stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines that have seriously disrupted activities in large segments of the economy. Presently, certain markets in which we do business have stopped our construction and sales of homes. Although we continue to build and sell homes in our other markets, traffic in our Welcome Home Centers and sales have slowed significantly. While the extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, the outbreak and associated economic impacts could result in a material impact to the Company's future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


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, 20182019.
Some of the statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements contained herein may include opinions or beliefs regarding market conditions and similar matters. In many instances, those opinions and beliefs are based upon general observations by members of our management, anecdotal evidence and our experience in the conduct of our businesses, without specific investigation or analyses. Therefore, while they reflect our view of the industries and markets in which we are involved, they should not be viewed as reflecting verifiable views or views that are necessarily shared by all who are involved in those industries or markets. These statements concern expectations, beliefs, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements typically include the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “consider,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “objective,” “plan,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “strategy,” “target,” “will” or other words of similar meaning.
These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We wish to caution readers that certain important factors may have affected and could in the future affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ significantly from what is anticipated by our forward-looking statements. The most important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on our financial position and ability to continue our Homebuilding or Multifamily development activities at normal levels or at all in affected regions; the duration, impact and severity of the COVID-19 outbreak; an extended slowdown in the real estate markets across the nation, including a slowdown in the market for single family homes or the multifamily rental market; increases in operating costs, including costs related to construction materials, labor, real estate taxes and insurance, and our inability to manage our cost structure, both in our Homebuilding and Multifamily businesses; reduced availability of mortgage financing or increased interest rates; our inability to realize all of the anticipated synergy benefits from the CalAtlantic Group, Inc. ("CalAtlantic") acquisition or to realize them in the anticipated timeline; our inability to successfully execute our strategies, including our land lighter strategy; changes in general economic and financial conditions that reduce demand for our products and services, lower our profit margins or reduce our access to credit; our inability to acquire land at anticipated prices; the possibility that we will incur nonrecurring costs that affect earnings in one or more reporting periods; decreased demand for our homes or multifamily rental properties; the possibility that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will have more negative than positive impact on us; 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 and opportunistically repurchasedebt; whether government actions or other factors related to COVID-19 force us to delay or terminate our program of repurchasing our stock; a decline in the value of our land inventories and resulting write-downs of the carrying value of our real estate assets; the failure of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; difficulty obtaining land-use entitlements or construction financing; natural disasters and other unforeseen events for which our insurance does not provide adequate coverage; new laws or regulatory changes that adversely affect the profitability of our businesses; our inability to refinance our debt on terms that are acceptable to us; and changes in accounting conventions that adversely affect our reported earnings.
Please see our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 20182019 and other filings with the SEC for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties which could affect our future results. We undertake no obligation, other than those imposed by securities laws, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of those statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Outlook
DuringThe United States economy in general and our business specifically have been dramatically affected by the third quarter,coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. There are no reliable estimates of how long the housing market continuedpandemic will last or how many people are likely to improve. We saw traffic and sales continue to strengthen from last year's pause as lower interest rates and slower price appreciation positively impacted affordability. That, together with low unemployment, wage growth, consumer confidence and economic growth drove a more affordable housing market.
Stronger sales are driving higher-than-expected deliveries at stabilized margin levels as sales incentives have moderated, and we believebe affected by it. For that reason, we are unable to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on trackour business at this time. Our first priority with regard to deliver approximately 51,000 homesthe COVID-19 pandemic is to do everything we can to ensure the safety, health and hygiene of our associates, customers, suppliers and others with whom we partner in fiscal 2019. Our average new orders sales price declined year-over-yearour business activities. Subject to that and sequentially, reflecting our continued focus onthrough the entry-level marketuse of appropriate risk mitigation and the first time homebuyer. While strong operating results drove the bottom line, our overall focus on inventory, land spend and shedding non-core assets has driven a strong and improving cash flow picture as well. We are reducing our overall inventory levels assafety practices, we are focusing ondoing everything we can to continue our pivot to a land lighter strategy. From controlling the timing of land purchases, to reducing our years owned supply of homesites, to increasing the percentage of land controlled through options or agreements versus owned land,business operations in this unprecedented business environment in which we are migrating towards a significantly smaller land inventory. Our target is to increase our controlled homesites to between 40% and 50%find ourselves. Part of our land needsstrategy includes accelerating various technology initiatives to accommodate our safety first mandate and reduceto continue our years owned supply of homesites to three years. We are also driving our asset-base lower as we continue to focus on monetizing non-core assets and migratingbusiness in these difficult times.
Subsequent to our core pure-playfirst quarter earnings call, a number of states, counties and municipalities issued orders requiring persons who were not engaged in essential activities and businesses to remain at home. Other jurisdictions without stay-at-home orders required non-essential businesses to close. Some states designated residential homebuilding as an essential business activity. However, several states and financial services platform.municipalities did not include residential construction as an essential business


and required that construction cease. Late in March, the United States Department of Homeland Security added construction to its list of critical infrastructure activities, though this is not binding on state and local governments.
Presently, certain markets in which we do business have stopped our construction and sales of homes. While we continue to build and sell homes in our other markets, traffic in our Welcome Home Centers and sales have slowed significantly. With a near shutdown of large portions of our national economy, we expect sales to continue to slow, even while we maintain and innovate our sales, construction and closing operations. In response to these rapidly changing market conditions, we are taking all appropriate steps to reduce construction costs, SG&A expenses and other cash outflows.
While we have a strong liquidity position as of February 29, 2020 with $785 million of cash and $2.1 billion of unused committed capacity under our revolving credit facility, we are taking steps to maximize positive cash flow, in case a lack of liquidity in the economy resulting from the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic limits our access to third party funding. We are doing this by limiting cash expenditures as much as possible, including working collaboratively through our strong relationships with national, regional and local developers to extend the closing date of our land purchases and defer land development activities.
Our mortgage lending operations have not yet experienced a significant slowdown in loan originations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a material reduction in our home sales would significantly reduce our residential mortgage lending activities. To the extent we are able to continue originating residential mortgage loans, we expect to seebe able to continue selling them into the secondary mortgage market.
We do not know to what extent the financial effects of the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the demand for commercial mortgage loans of the type we originate, but they are likely to make it more difficult for us to sell loans we originate into securitization vehicles. This could require us to reduce our margins improve steadily throughoutcommercial mortgage lending even if demand is not adversely affected. If the COVID-19 pandemic continues to curtail economic activity for a substantial period, it is likely to lead to rent arrearages by tenants in multifamily residential buildings in which our Multifamily segment has investments. All of our other business activities are likely to be affected by COVID-19 related reductions in economic activity.
Nobody knows the total effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the economy during the remainder of the year as prices remain stable2020. Our senior management team is monitoring its impact on a daily basis and incentiveswill continue to subside. Accordingly, we expect to generate strong cash flow for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020, and to continue to use excess cash flow to pay down debt while opportunistically repurchasing stock. Through this expected strong cash flow and reduction in land spend, we anticipate being able to drive meaningfully greater returns over time.
Our size and scale in each ofadjust our strategic markets continues to facilitate the management of costs and production in a land and labor constrained market, and we believe this is going to continue into the fourth quarter. Our continued focus on technology and leveraging our size and scale is driving efficiencies that are reflected in our consistent improvement in SG&A and our bottom line. In the third quarter, our SG&A expensesoperations as a percentage of home sale revenues continued its downward trend with our lowest third quarter level ever at 8.3%. Through our technology initiatives, we decreased loan origination costs in our financial services platform, which in part drove the segment's record earnings in the third quarter.
With a solid balance sheet, leading market positions and continued execution of our core operating strategies, we believe that we are well positioned to deliver strong and consistent performance for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020.necessary.
(1) Results of Operations
Overview
We historically have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our homebuilding business is seasonal in nature and generally reflects higher levels of new home order activity in our second and third fiscal quarters and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, periods of economic downturn in the industry can alter seasonal patterns.patterns as noted in the Outlook section above.

Effects of CalAtlantic Acquisition
In fiscal year 2018, we exceeded our initial $100 million synergy savings expectations from the CalAtlantic acquisition by $70 million and we believe we are on track to meet our $380 million synergies target for 2019. Our synergy savings have resulted from elimination of costs of having two publicly traded companies, significant reductions in combined headcount and renegotiation of both local and national supply contracts.

Homebuilding revenue and net earnings attributable to Lennar for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018 included $2.2 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, of home sales revenues, and earnings before income taxes included $209.3 million and $157.3 million, respectively, of a pre-tax earnings from CalAtlantic since the date of acquisition, which included acquisition and integration costs of $12.0 million and $140.1 million, respectively. These transaction expenses were included within acquisition and integration costs related to CalAtlantic in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018.

Three Months Ended August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 versus Three Months Ended August 31, 2018February 28, 2019
Revenues from home sales increased 2%15% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 to $5.3$4.1 billion from $5.2$3.6 billion in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 7%17% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, partially offset by a 5%2% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding


unconsolidated entities, increased to 13,51310,313 homes in the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 from 12,6008,802 homes in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, as a result of an increase in home deliveries in all homebuilding segments. The average sales price of homes delivered was $394,000$402,000 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, compared to $415,000$410,000 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. The decrease in average sales price primarily resulted from a continuing to shift to lower-priced communities and increased sales incentives, as well as product mix as a larger percentage of deliveries came from the East segment. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $24,400 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2019, or 5.8% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $22,900 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2018, or 5.2% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $26,600 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2019, or 6.1% as a percentage of home sales revenue.communities.
Gross margin on home sales were $1.1 billion,$849.0 million, or 20.4%20.5%, in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, compared to $1.1 billion,$726.1 million, or 20.3% (21.9% excluding purchase accounting),20.1% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. The gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily because the third quarter of 2018 included $84.2 million or 160 basis points of backlog/due to our focus on reducing construction in progress write-up related to purchase accounting adjustments on CalAtlantic homes that were delivered in that quarter. This was partially offset by higher construction costs and increased sales incentives.costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $444.7$378.9 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, compared to $446.6$343.3 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 8.3%9.2% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, from 8.5%9.5% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, due to improved operating leverage primarily as a result of an increase in home deliveries.
Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities, gross margin on land sales, homebuilding other income, net, and other homebuilding revenue totaled earnings of $18.1 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a loss of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2018. Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $16.7 million in the third quarter of 2018. In the third quarter of 2019, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of net losses from one of our homebuilding unconsolidated entities. In the third quarter of 2018, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of valuation adjustments related to assets of a homebuilding unconsolidated entity, partially offset by our share of net operating earnings from our other unconsolidated entities. Gross margin on land sales was $12.2 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2018. Homebuilding other income, net, was $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2018. Other homebuilding revenues were $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2019.
Homebuilding interest expense was $107.2 million in the third quarter of 2019 ($98.0 million was included in costs of homes sold, $3.6 million in costs of land sold and $5.6 million in homebuilding other income, net), compared to $86.9 million in the third quarter of 2018 ($83.0 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.8 million in costs of land sold and $3.1 million in homebuilding other income, net). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in home deliveries. The prior year's interest expense was favorably impacted by purchase accounting related to the CalAtlantic acquisition.
During the third quarter of 2018, we recorded $12.0 million of acquisition and integration costs related to CalAtlantic.
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $78.8$58.2 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 (which included $74.7$47.3 million of operating earnings and an add back of $4.1$10.9 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings compared to $21.8 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018 were $60.5 million.2019 (which included $19.0 million of operating earnings and an add back of $2.8 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings increased due to an improvement in the mortgage business as a result of a higher capture rate of increased Lennar home deliveries,an increase in volume and margin, as well as reductions in loan origination costs driven in part by technology initiatives. These improvements more than offset the decrease in retail origination volume, as a result of the sale of substantially allAdditionally, operating earnings of our retail mortgagetitle business increased primarily due to an increase in volume.
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 (which included $0.1 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. Operating earnings of our title business decreased as a result of a decline in retail closed orders due to the sale of a majority of our retail agency business and title insurance underwriter in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease in retail volume was partially offset by an increase in captive business volume and a decrease in operating expenses.
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2019 (which included $10.2 million of operating earnings and an add back of $0.3 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests), primarily due to the segment's $12.6 million share of a gain as a result of the sale of an operating property by the segment's unconsolidated entities. In the third quarter of 2018, the Multifamily segment had an operating loss of $3.9 million primarily driven by selling, general and administrative expenses of the segment and equity in loss related to Lennar Multifamily Venture I (“LMV I”) and other Multifamily joint ventures as a result of incurring expenses that exceeded revenues while rental operations were reaching stabilization. This was partially offset by $1.7 million of our share of gains from the sale of one operating property by a Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entity as well as $5.1 million of promote revenue related to two properties in LMV I.


Operating earnings for the Lennar Other segment were $15.9$0.9 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020, compared to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 (which included $15.8 million of operating earnings and an add back of $0.1 million of net lossearnings attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2018 (which included $8.8 million of operating earnings and an add back of $1.2 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings in the third quarter of 2019 were primarily related to our equity in earnings from the Rialto fund investments that were retained when we sold the Rialto investment and asset management platform.
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $92.6 million, or 1.6% as a percentage of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $96.3 million, or 1.7% as a percentage of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues was due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries.
In the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, we had tax provisions of $154.4 million and $98.3 million, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were 23.1% and 17.8% in the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2019 included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by energy credits. For the three months ended August 31, 2018, theFebruary 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, we had a tax provision of $32.3 million and $79.7 million, respectively and our overall effective income tax rate included tax benefits for the tax accounting method changes implemented during the third quarter of 2018, energy credits,7.5% and the domestic production activities deduction.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2019 versus Nine Months Ended August 31, 2018
On February 12, 2018, Lennar Corporation completed its acquisition of CalAtlantic. Prior year information includes CalAtlantic only after the acquisition date.
Revenues from home sales increased 10%24.9%, respectively. The reduction in the nine months ended August 31, 2019 to $14.1 billion from $12.9 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. Revenues were higheroverall effective income tax rate is primarily due to an 11% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 35,021 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2019 from 31,412 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2018, primarily as a result of an increase in home deliveries in all of Homebuilding's segments except Other. The average sales price of homes delivered was $403,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to $409,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. The decrease in average sales price primarily resulted from continuing to shift to lower-priced communities and increased sales incentives as well as product mix as a larger percentage of deliveries came from the East segment. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $25,400 per home delivered in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, or 5.9% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $22,800 per home delivered in the nine months ended August 31, 2018, or 5.3% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margin on home sales were $2.9 billion, or 20.2%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to $2.4 billion, or 18.8% (21.7% excluding purchase accounting), in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. The gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily because the nine months ended August 31, 2018 included $376.0 million or 290 basis points of backlog/construction in progress write-up related to purchase accounting adjustments on CalAtlantic homes that were delivered in that period. This was partially offset by increased sales incentives and higher construction costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.2 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to $1.1 billion in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 8.7% in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, from 8.8% in the nine months ended August 31, 2018, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries.
Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities, gross margin on land sales, homebuilding other income (expense), net, and other homebuilding revenue totaled a loss of $16.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to earnings of $169.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $4.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to $43.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. In the nine months ended August 31, 2019, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of net operating losses from one of our homebuilding unconsolidated entities. In the nine months ended August 31, 2018, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of valuation adjustments related to assets of a homebuilding unconsolidated entity and our share of net operating losses from our unconsolidated entities. Gross margin on land sales was $14.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to $22.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. Homebuilding other income (expense), net, was ($35.3) million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to $190.7 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. Homebuilding other expense, net in the nine months ended August 31, 2019 was primarily due to a one-time loss of $48.9 million from the consolidation of a previously unconsolidated entity. In the nine months ended August 31, 2018, Homebuilding


other income, net, was primarily related to a gain on the sale of an 80% interest in one of Homebuilding's strategic joint ventures, Treasure Island Holdings. In the nine months ended August 31, 2019, other homebuilding revenues were $8.8 million.
Homebuilding interest expense was $271.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019 ($255.4 million was included in costs of homes sold, $4.5 million in costs of land sold and $11.5 million in homebuilding other expense, net), compared to $214.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2018 ($203.2 million was included in costs of homes sold, $2.2 million in costs of land sold and $8.6 million in homebuilding other income, net). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in home deliveries. The prior year's interest expense was favorably impacted by purchase accounting related to the CalAtlantic acquisition.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, we recorded $140.1 million of acquisition and integration costs related to CalAtlantic.
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $163.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019 (which included $149.9 million of operating earnings and an add back of $13.1 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to $142.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. Operating earnings increased due to an improvement in the mortgage business as a result of a higher capture rate of increased Lennar home deliveries, as well as reductions in loan origination costs driven in part by technology initiatives. These improvements more than offset the decrease in retail origination volume, as a resultextension of the sale of substantially all of our retail mortgage business innew energy efficient home tax credit during the first quarter of 2019. Operating earnings of our title business decreased as a result of a decline in retail closed orders due to the sale of a majority of our retail agency business and title insurance underwriter in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease in retail volume was partially offset by an increase in captive business volume and a decrease in operating expenses.
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $13.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019 (which included $12.7 million of operating earnings and an add back of $0.7 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests), primarily due to the segment's $16.3 million share of gains as a result of the sale of two operating properties by Multifamily's unconsolidated entities, $11.9 million gain on the sale of an investment in an operating property and $5.6 million of promote revenue related to three properties in LMV I, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Multifamily segment had operating earnings of $9.7 million primarily due to the segment's $23.3 million share of gains as a result of the sale of four operating properties by Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and $10.3 million of promote revenue related to four properties in LMV I, partially offset by general and administrative expenses.
Operating earnings for the Lennar Other segment were $21.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2019 (which included $20.7 million of operating earnings and an add back of $0.4 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to $18.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2018 (which included $15.6 million of operating earnings and an add back of $2.6 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests).
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $248.1 million, or 1.6% as a percentage of total revenues, in the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to $249.1 million, or 1.8% as a percentage of total revenues, in the nine months ended August 31, 2018. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues was due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in revenues.
In the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, we had tax provisions of $374.7 million and $306.9 million, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were 24.2% and 25.4% in the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by energy credits. For the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the effective tax rate included a $68.6 million non-cash one-time write down of the deferred tax assets due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and state income tax expense, partially offset by a $34.1 million benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2018, primarily related to tax accounting method changes and energy credits. Excluding the impact of the write down of the deferred tax assets and the benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2018, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 would have been 22.6%.2020.


Homebuilding Segments
In connection with the CalAtlantic acquisition, we experienced significant growth in our homebuilding operations. As a result, at the end of fiscal 2018, our chief operating decision makers ("CODM") reassessed how they evaluate the business and allocate resources. The CODM manage and assess our performance at a regional level. Therefore, in 2018 we performed an assessment of our operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC 280”) and determined that each of our four homebuilding regions, financial services operations, multifamily operations and Rialto operations are our operating segments. Prior to this change, in accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC 280, our operating segments were aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. In addition, in first quarter of 2019, as a result of the reclassification of Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") and certain other Rialto assets from the Rialto segment to the Financial Services segment effective December 1, 2018, we renamed the Rialto segment as "Lennar Other" and included in this segment certain strategic technology investments, which were reclassified from the Homebuilding segments to Lennar Other. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 2019 presentation. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to Homebuilding segments are to those four reportable segments.
At August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, our reportable Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other consisted of homebuilding divisions located in:
East: Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and South Carolina
Central: Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Tennessee and Virginia
Texas: Texas
West: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington
Other: Urban divisions and other homebuilding related investments primarily in California, including FivePoint Holdings, LLC ("FivePoint")


The following tables set forth selected financial and operational information related to our homebuilding operations for the periods indicated:

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.
We experienced cancellation rates in our Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding other as follows:

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 RMFLMF 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 our Financial Services segment:

Consistent with our reversion to a pure-play homebuilder, during the first quarter of 2019, we sold the majority of our retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter, substantially all of our retail mortgage business and our real estate brokerage business. These transactions resulted in a net gain for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 of $1.9 million.
In connection with the sale of the majority of our retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter, we provided seller financing and received a substantial minority equity ownership stake in the buyer. Due to the combination of both the equity and debt components of this transaction, the transaction did not meet the accounting requirements for sale treatment and, therefore, we are required to consolidate the buyer’s results at this time.

(1)Net Homebuildinghomebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net Homebuildinghomebuilding debt (Homebuilding(homebuilding debt less Homebuildinghomebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net Homebuildinghomebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). Our management believesWe believe the ratio of net Homebuildinghomebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in our homebuilding operations. However, because net Homebuildinghomebuilding 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, 2019,February 29, 2020, Homebuilding debt to total capital improved compared to August 31, 2018,February 28, 2019, as a result of an increase in stockholders' equity primarily related to our net earnings, partially offset by stock repurchases. In addition, there was a decrease in Homebuilding debt. At August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, Homebuilding debt to total capital was higher compared to November 30, 2018,2019, as a result of an increase in Homebuilding debt primarily due to an increase in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility, and from our consolidation of a previously unconsolidated entity in the second quarter of 2019. In addition, stock repurchases negatively impacted stockholders' equity. This was partially offset by ana net increase in stockholders' equity primarily related to our net earnings.
We are continually exploring various types of transactions to manage our leverage and liquidity positions, take advantage of market opportunities and increase our revenues and earnings. These transactions may include the issuance of additional indebtedness, the repurchase of our outstanding indebtedness, for cash or equity, the repurchase of our common stock, the acquisition of homebuilders and other companies, the purchase or sale of assets or lines of business, the issuance of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock, and/or the pursuit other financing alternatives. In connection with some of our non-homebuilding businesses, we are also considering other types of transactions such as sales, restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings as we continue to move back towards being a pure play homebuilding company. During the first quarter of 2019, we sold the majority of our retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter. In addition, we sold our real estate brokerage business, which operated only in Florida, and substantially all of our retail mortgage business. At August 31, 2019, we had no agreements regarding any significant transactions.

At February 29, 2020, we had an unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with maximum borrowings of debt issuance costs of $24.9 million and $31.2 million as of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively.
Our Homebuilding average debt outstanding was $9.2$2.45 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 4.8% for the nine months ended August 31, 2019, compared to $9.1 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 4.8% for the nine months ended August 31, 2018. Interest incurred related to Homebuilding debt for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 was $321.0 million, compared to $314.0 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2018.
In April 2019, we amended our credit agreement governing our Credit Facility to increase the commitments from $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion and extend the maturity one year to April 2024, with $50 million maturing in June 2020. Our2020 and the balance due in 2024. The Credit Facility has a $400 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, thus the maximum borrowings are $2.8 billion. Subsequent to August 31, 2019, our Credit Facility commitments were increased by $50 million to total commitments of $2.5 billion. The proceeds available under our Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our credit agreement also(the "Credit Agreement") provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. Under ourthe Credit Facility agreement,Agreement, as of the end of the fiscal quarter, we are requiredsubject to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratiodebt covenants. The maturity, details and either a liquidity or an interest coverage ratio. These ratios are calculated perdebt covenants of the Credit Facility agreement, which involves adjustments to GAAP financial measures. We believe we wereare unchanged from the disclosure in compliance with our debt covenants at August 31,Financial Condition and Capital Resources section in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2019. In addition to the Credit Facility, we had $305 million ofhave other letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.

In June 2019, we redeemed $500Homebuilding debt for the three months ended February 29, 2020 was $93.3 million, aggregate principal amount of our 4.500% senior notes due Junecompared to $104.4 million for the three months ended February 28, 2019. The redemption price, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest.
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$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.

Currently, substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing all our senior notes (the "Guaranteed Notes"). The guarantees are full and unconditional. The principal reason our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing the Guaranteed Notes is so holders of the Guaranteed Notes will have rights at least as great with regard to those subsidiaries as any other holders of a material amount of our unsecured debt. Therefore, the guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes will remain in effect with regard to a guarantor subsidiary only while it guarantees a material amount of the debt of Lennar Corporation, as a separate entity, to others. At any time when a guarantor subsidiary is no longer guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes, either directly or by guaranteeing other subsidiaries’ obligations as guarantors of Lennar Corporation’s debt, the guarantor subsidiary’s guarantee of the Guaranteed Notes will be suspended. Therefore, if the guarantor subsidiaries cease guaranteeing Lennar Corporation’s obligations under our Credit Facility and our letter of credit facilities and are not guarantors of any new debt, the guarantor subsidiaries’ guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes will be suspended until such time, if any, as they again are guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes.
If our guarantor subsidiaries are guaranteeing revolving credit lines totaling at least $75 million, we will treat the guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes as remaining in effect even during periods when Lennar Corporation’s borrowings under the revolving credit lines are less than $75 million. A subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of.

Our Financial Services segment uses thesethe residential facilities to finance its residential mortgage 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 $887.8 million and $1.3 billion at August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $913.9 million and $1.3 billion, at August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. Without the facilities, our Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its residential mortgage lending activities. Since our Financial Services segment’s borrowings under the warehouse repurchase facilities are generally repaid with the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans and receivables on loans that secure those borrowings, the facilities are not likely to be a call on our current cash or future cash resources. as follows:

Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's commercial loan originations and securitization activities were $113.0 million and $178.8 million as of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively, and were secured by a 75% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. The facilities require immediate repayment of the 75% interest in the secured commercial loans when the loans are sold in a securitization and the proceeds are collected. These warehouse repurchase facilities are non-recourse to us and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling the loans held-for-sale to investors. 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 us tothe repurchase of up to the lesser of $1$1.0 billion in value, or 25 million in shares, of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date. The following table represents the repurchase of our Class A and Class B common stocks, under this program, for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019:

Homebuilding: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, we had equity investments in 5148 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which at August 31, 2019, three had recourse debt, seventen had non-recourse debt and 4135 had no debt) compared to 5150 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2018.2019. 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.
Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

(1)During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, other income was primarily attributable to a $64.9 million gain on the settlement of contingent consideration recorded by one Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, of which our pro-rata share was $25.9 million. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018, other income was primarily due to FivePoint recording income resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017’s reduction in its corporate tax rate to reduce its liability pursuant to its tax receivable agreement (“TRA Liability”) with its non-controlling interests. However, we have a 70% interest in the FivePoint TRA Liability. Therefore, we did not include in Homebuilding’s equity in loss from unconsolidated entities its pro-rata share of earnings related to our portion of the TRA Liability. As a result, our unconsolidated entities have net earnings, but we have an equity in loss from unconsolidated entities.


(2)Our share of profit and cash distributions from the sales of land could be higher or lower compared to our ownership interest in unconsolidated entities if certain specified internal rate of return or cash flow milestones are achieved.

(1)Debt presented above is net of debt issuance costs of $9.7 million and $12.4 million, as of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease in debt was primarily related to the consolidation of an unconsolidated entity during the second quarter of 2019.
As of August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, our recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $946.7 million and $1.0 billion, and $870.2 million, respectively, while the underlying equity related to our investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of August 31, 2019both February 29, 2020 and November 30, 20182019 were $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.billion. The basis difference is primarily as a result of us contributing our investment in three strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings on land sales to us. Included in our recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is our 40% ownership of FivePoint. As of August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, the carrying amount of our investment in FivePoint was $380.5$366.8 million and $342.7$374.0 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, we sold 80% of a strategic joint venture to a third-party resulting in a gain of $164.9 million recorded in Homebuilding other income, net within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities.
Debt to total capital of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments was calculated as follows:

Indebtedness of an unconsolidated entity is secured by its own assets. Some unconsolidated entities own multiple properties and other assets. There is no cross collateralization of debt of different unconsolidated entities. We also do not use our investment in one unconsolidated entity as collateral for the debt of another unconsolidated entity or commingle funds among Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.
In connection with loans to a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, we and our partners often guarantee to a lender, either jointly and severally or on a several basis, any or all of the following: (i) the completion of the development, in whole or in part, (ii) indemnification of the lender against losses from environmental issues, (iii) indemnification of the lender from "bad boy acts" of the unconsolidated entity (or full recourse liability in the event of an unauthorized transfer or bankruptcy) and (iv) that the loan to value and/or loan to cost will not exceed a certain percentage (maintenance or remargining guarantee) or that a percentage of the outstanding loan will be repaid (repayment guarantee).
In connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity where there is a joint and several guarantee, we sometimes have a reimbursement agreement with our partner. The reimbursement agreement provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share of the guarantee. However, if our joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share, up to our maximum exposure, which is the full amount covered by the joint and several guarantee.
The total debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments including Lennar'swas $1.1 billion as of both February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019, of which our maximum recourse exposure was $4.9 million and $10.8 million as follows:

(1)As of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, our maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to us providing repayment guarantees on two and four unconsolidated entities' debt, respectively. The decrease in maximum recourse exposure and total debt was primarily related to the consolidation of a previously unconsolidated entity during the second quarter of 2019.
The recourse debt exposure in the previous table represents our maximum exposure to loss from guaranteesof February 29, 2020 and does not take into account the underlying value of the collateral or the other assets of the borrowers that are available to repay debt or to reimburse us for any payments on our guarantees.
November 30, 2019, respectively. In addition, 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, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, the fair values of the repayment, maintenance, and completion guarantees were not material. We believe that as of August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, the collateral would be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or we and our partners would contribute additional capital into the venture. In certain instances, we have placed performance letters of credit and surety bonds with municipalities with regard to obligations of our joint ventures (see Note 127 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, 2019February 29, 2020 and it does not represent estimates of future cash payments that will be made to reduce debt balances. Many JV loans have extension options in the loan agreements that would allow the loans to be extended into future years.

Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, Multifamily had equity investments in 1821 unconsolidated entities that are engaged in multifamily residential developments (of which seven had non-recourse debt and 1114 had no debt), compared to 2219 unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2018.2019. 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 is aand LMV II, which are long-term multifamily development investment vehiclevehicles involved in the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets with $2.2 billion in equity commitments, including a $504 million co-investment commitment by us comprisedassets. Details of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. LMV I has 39 multifamily assets totaling approximately 11,700 apartments with projected project costs of $4.1 billioneach as of August 31, 2019. There are 22 completed and operating multifamily assets with 6,200 apartments. Duringduring the ninethree months ended August 31, 2019, $162.4February 29, 2020 are included below:


million in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed $39.6 million representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity. During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, we received $12.3 million of distributions as a return of capital from LMV I. As of August 31, 2019, $2.1 billion of the $2.2 billion in equity commitments had been called, of which we had contributed $480.4 million representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for us of $23.6 million. As of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of our investment in LMV I was $397.9 million and $383.4 million, respectively.
In March 2018, our Multifamily segment completed the first closing of a second Multifamily Venture, LMV II, for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. In June 2019, our Multifamily segment completed the final closing of LMV II, which has approximately $1.3 billion of equity commitments, including a $381 million co-investment commitment by us comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, $200.8 million in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed $54.9 million, which was made up of $132.2 million of inventory and cash contributions, offset by $77.3 million of distributions as a return of capital resulting in a remaining commitment for us of $244.9 million. As of August 31, 2019, $452.8 million of the $1.3 billion in equity commitments had been called. As of August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of our investment in LMV II was $115.1 million and $63.0 million, respectively. The difference between our net contributions and the carrying value of our investments was related to a basis difference. As of August 31, 2019, LMV II included 13 undeveloped multifamily assets totaling approximately 4,700 apartments with projected project costs of approximately $2.0 billion.

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, 2019.February 29, 2020.
Summarized financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Multifamily’s investments in unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

(1)During the three months ended August 31, 2019, our Multifamily segment sold, through its unconsolidated entities, one operating property resulting in the segment's $12.6 million share of gain. During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, our Multifamily segment sold, through its unconsolidated entities, two operating properties and an investment in an operating property resulting in the segment's $28.1 million share of gains. The gain of $11.9 million recognized on the sale of the investment in an operating property and recognition of our share of deferred development fees that were capitalized at the joint venture level are included in Multifamily equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other gain, and are not included in net earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018, our Multifamily segment sold one and four operating properties, respectively, through its unconsolidated entities resulting in the segment's $1.7 million and $23.3 million share of gains, respectively.
Lennar Other: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We sold our Rialto Management Group on November 30, 2018. We retained our fund investments along with our carried interests in various Rialto funds and investments in other balance sheet assets. Our limited partner investments in Rialto funds and investment vehicles totaled $297.9 million at August 31, 2019. We are committed to invest as much as an additional $49.0 million in Rialto funds.
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 will periodically receive advance distributions related to the carried interests in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to the carried interests. These distributions are not subject to clawbacks but will reduce future carried interest payments to which we become entitled from the applicable funds and have been recorded as revenues.
The following table represents amounts our Lennar Other segment would have received had the Rialto funds ceased operations and hypothetically liquidated all their investments at their estimated fair values on August 31, 2019, both gross and netAs of amounts already received as advanced tax distributions and amounts paid as carried interest. The actual amounts we may receive could be materially different from amounts presented in the table below.

(2)Rialto previously adopted carried interest plans under which we and participating employees will receive 60% and 40%, respectively, of carried interest payments, net of expenses, received by entities that are general partners of a number of Rialto funds or other investment vehicles. When Rialto Management Group was sold, we retained our right to receive 60% of the distributions of carried interest payments received from funds that existed at the time of the sale.
In connection with our strategic technology initiatives, at August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, we had strategic equitytechnology investments in 14 and nine unconsolidated entities respectively, which totaled $149.9of $192.1 million and $126.7$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 August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and 2018:February 28, 2019:

(1)Based on trailing twelve months of home deliveries.
We evaluate certain option contracts for land to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary or make a significant deposit for optioned land, we may need to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land. Consolidated land purchase options are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as consolidated inventory not owned. Over the next several years, we plan to increase the controlled homesites to 40%-50% of our entire homesite inventory from approximately 30%31% as of August 31, 2019.February 29, 2020. Recently, we have undertaken several strategic land initiatives which include acquiring fully developed homesites from regional developers and may also include building homes in bulk for landowners who will retain them as rental properties.


During the ninethree months ended August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $143.1$104.3 million with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2019.February 29, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the consolidation of option contracts, partially offset by us exercising our options to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory that was consolidated, we had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2019.February 29, 2020. The liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned primarily represent the difference between the option exercise prices for the optioned land and our cash deposits.
Our exposure to losses related to option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $311.1$306.0 million and $209.5$320.5 million at August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, respectively. Additionally, we had posted $74.8 million and $72.4$75.0 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2018,2019, 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, 2018.
We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including option contracts)2019, except for the purchase, development and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of our business. Option contracts for the purchase of land generally enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether to exercise our options. This reduces our financial risk associated with land holdings. At August 31, 2019, we had access to 92,630 homesites through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At August 31, 2019, we had $311.1$300.0 million of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to certain of these homesites and had posted $74.8 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash depositsoutstanding borrowings under certain land and option contracts.
At August 31, 2019, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $863.1 million (which included the $74.8 million of letters of credit described above). These letters of credit are generally posted either with regulatory bodies to guarantee our performance of certain development and construction activities, or in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at August 31, 2019, we had outstanding surety bonds of $2.9 billion including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of our 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 of the development and construction activities are completed. As of August 31, 2019, there were approximately $1.4 billion, or 47%, of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. We do not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any such draws occur, we do not believe they would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Our Financial Services segment had a pipeline of residential mortgage loan applications in process of $4.3 billion at August 31, 2019. Loans in process for which interest rates were committed to the borrowers totaled approximately $775.2 million as of August 31, 2019. Substantially all of these commitments were for periods of 60 days or less. Since a portion of these commitments is expected to expire without being exercised by the borrowers or because borrowers may not meet certain criteria at the time of closing, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Our Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") forward commitments, option contracts, futures contracts and investor commitments to hedge our mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option contracts, futures contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting our counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting our credit standards. Our risk, in the event of default by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and option contracts. At August 31, 2019, we had open commitments amounting to $1.6 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through November 2019 and there were no open futures contracts.Facility.
(3) New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1812 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements applicable to our company.
(4) Critical Accounting Policies
We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the ninethree months ended August 31, 2019February 29, 2020 as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended November 30, 20182019, except those policies as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 as of December 1, 2018, for which we updated our revenue recognition policies as noted in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and as included below:.
Revenue Recognition
Homebuilding revenues and related profits from sales of homes are recognized at the time of the closing of a sale, when title to and possession of the property are transferred to the homebuyer. Our performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Cash proceeds from home closings held in escrow for our benefit, typically for approximately three days, are included in Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosed in footnote 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Contract liabilities include customer deposits liabilities related to sold but undelivered homes that are included in


other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties. Cash consideration from land sales is typically due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized as title to and possession of the property are transferred to the buyer.
Our financial services’ operations recognize revenues as follows: Title premiums on policies issued directly by us are recognized as revenue on the effective date of the title policies. Escrow fees and loan origination revenues are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. Revenues from title policies issued by independent agents are recognized as revenue when notice of issuance is received from the agent, which is generally when cash payment is received by us.
Our Multifamily segment provides management services with respect to the development, construction and property management of rental projects in joint ventures in which we have investments. As a result, the Multifamily segment earns and receives fees, which are generally based upon a stated percentage of development and construction costs and a percentage of gross rental collections. These fees are recorded over the period in which the services are performed using an input method, which properly depicts the level of effort required to complete the management services. In addition, the Multifamily segment provides general contractor services for the construction of some of its rental projects and recognizes the revenue over the period in which the services are performed using an input method, which properly depicts the level of effort required to complete the construction services. These customer contracts require us to provide management and general contractor services which represents a performance obligation that we satisfy over time. Management fees and general contractor services in the Multifamily segment are included in Multifamily revenue.



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our investments, debt obligations, loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment. We utilize forward commitments and option contracts to mitigate the risks associated with our mortgage loan portfolio.
As of August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, we had $700$300 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.
As of August 31, 2019,February 29, 2020, borrowings under Financial Services' warehouse repurchase facilities totaled $887.8$674.8 million under residential loan facilities and $113$161.5 million under RMFLMF Commercial facilities.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2019, a subsidiary of ours was notified by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection of the subsidiary’s non-compliance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan regulations related to the clean-up of certain materials at a development formerly owned by that subsidiary in Hingham, MA.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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 risk factors from those disclosedcontrol.  The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused the shutdown of large portions of our national economy. The spread of COVID-19 has also caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets, which can negatively impact consumer confidence. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. As a result of COVID-19, traffic in our Annual Report on Form 10-K forWelcome Home Centers and sales have slowed significantly, and sales contract cancellations have increased significantly. If the year ended November 30, 2018.virus continues to cause significant negative impacts to economic conditions or consumer confidence, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will be significantly adversely impacted.
