Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1)Basis of Presentation
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission (“SEC”). 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, 2022.2023. The basis of consolidation is unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2022.2023. 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.
Seasonality
The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended February 28, 202329, 2024 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

The Financial Services segment uses the residential mortgage loan warehouse facilities to finance its residential lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and the proceeds are collected. The facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. The LMF Commercial facilities finance LMF Commercial loan originations and securitization activities and were secured by up to 80% interests in the originated commercial loans financed.
Borrowings and collateral under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were as follows:

Borrowings under the LMF Commercial facilitiesBorrowings under the LMF Commercial facilities11,397 124,399 
If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be repaid by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting receivables on loans sold but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.
Substantially all of the residential loans the Financial Services segment originates are sold within a short period in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Purchasers sometimes try to defray losses by purporting to have found inaccuracies related to sellers’ representations and warranties in particular loan sale agreements. Mortgage investors could seek to have the Company buy back mortgage loans or compensate them for losses incurred on mortgage loans that the Company has sold based on claims that the Company breached its limited representations or warranties. The Company’s mortgage operations have established accruals for possible losses associated with mortgage loans previously originated and sold to investors. The Company establishes accruals for such possible losses based upon, among other things, an analysis of repurchase requests received, an estimate of potential repurchase claims not yet received and actual past repurchases and losses through the disposition of affected loans, as well as previous settlements. While the Company believes that it has adequately reserved for known losses and projected repurchase requests, given the volatility in the residential mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, if either actual repurchases or the losses incurred resolving those repurchases exceed the Company’s expectations, additional recourse expense may be incurred. The provision for loan losses was immaterial for both the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022. Loan origination liabilities were $12.1 million and $11.8 million as of February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively, and included in Financial Services’ liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(1)The basis difference was primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in three strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the FivePoint entity.FivePoint.
(2)Included in the Company's recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is the Company's 40% ownership of FivePoint. As of February 28, 202329, 2024 and November 30, 2022,2023, the carrying amount of the Company's investment was $395.3$444.5 million and $382.9$422.2 million, respectively.
As of February 28, 202329, 2024 and November 30, 2022,2023, the Homebuilding segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $340.2$279.6 million and $333.6$316.5 million, respectively.
The Company has an immaterial amount of recourse exposure to debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which it has investments. While the Company sometimes guarantees debt of unconsolidated entities, in most instances the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their shares of any payments. In most instances, the amount of guaranteed debt of an unconsolidated entity is less than the value of the collateral securing it.
As of both February 28, 202329, 2024 and November 30, 2022,2023, the fair values of the repayment guarantees, maintenance guarantees, and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of February 28, 2023,29, 2024, 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The details related to these are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to the Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2022.2023.

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

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held or issued by the Company at February 28, 202329, 2024 and November 30, 2022,2023, using available market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, net and accounts payable, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:
Financial Services - The fair values above are based on quoted market prices, if available. The fair values for instruments that do not have quoted market prices are estimated by the Company on the basis of discounted cash flows or other financial information. For notes and other debts payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and the short-term nature of the majority of the borrowings.
Homebuilding - For senior notes and other debts payable, the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings is primarily based on quoted market prices and the fair value of variable-rate borrowings is based on expected future cash flows calculated using current market forward rates.
Multifamily - For notes payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and the short-term nature of the borrowings.
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 Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Financial Services residential loans held-for-sale - Fair value is based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices for other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. 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 are included in Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of February 28, 202329, 2024 and November 30, 2022.2023. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.
LMF Commercial loans held-for-sale - The fair value of commercial 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. The details and methods of the calculation are unchanged from the fair value disclosure in the Company's Notes to the Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2022.2023. These methods use unobservable inputs in estimating a discount rate that is used to assign a value to each loan. While the cash payments on the loans are contractual, the discount rate used and assumptions regarding the relative size of each class in the CMBS capital structure can significantly impact the valuation. Therefore, the estimates used could differ materially from the fair value determined when the loans are sold to a securitization trust.
Mortgage servicing rights - Financial Services records mortgage servicing rights when it sells loans on a servicing-retained basis or through the acquisition or assumption of the right to service a financial asset. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated using third-party valuations. The key assumptions, which are generally unobservable inputs, used in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights include mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates and are noted below:

Forward options - Fair value of forward options is based on independent quoted market prices for similar financial instruments. The fair value of these are included in Financial Services' other assets and the Company recognizes the changes in the fair value of the premium paid as Financial Services' Revenue.
Lennar Other investments in equity securities - The fair value of investments in equity securities was calculated based on independent quoted market prices. The Company’s investments in equity securities were recorded at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded to Lennar Other unrealized gain (loss)gains (losses) from technology investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Lennar Other investments available-for-sale - The fair value of investments available-for-sale is calculated from model-based techniques that use discounted cash flow assumptions and the Company’s own estimates of CMBS spreads, market interest rate movements and the underlying loan credit quality. 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 disclosed its accounting policy related to inventories and its review for indicators of impairment in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2022.2023.
The Company estimates the fair value of inventory evaluated for impairment based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the inventory is evaluated, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or assumptions change. For example, changes in market conditions and other specific developments or changes in assumptions may cause the Company to re-evaluate its strategy regarding previously impaired inventory, as well as inventory not currently impaired but for which indicators of impairment may arise if market deterioration occurs, and certain other assets that could result in further valuation adjustments and/or additional write-offs of option deposits and pre-acquisition costs due to abandonment of those options contracts.
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its active communities for indicators of potential impairments. The table below summarizes communities reviewed for indicators of impairment and communities with valuation adjustments recorded:

The Company disclosed its accounting policy related to investments in unconsolidated entities and its review for indicators of impairment for the long-lived assets of an unconsolidated entity and the decline in the fair value of an investment below the carrying value in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023.
The Company evaluates if a decrease in the fair value of an investment below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. This evaluation includes certain critical assumptions made by management: (1) projected future distributions from the unconsolidated entities, (2) discount rates applied to the future distributions, (3) the length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost and (4) various other factors, which include age of the venture, relationships with the other partners and banks, general economic market conditions, land status, length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been below the carrying value, and liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity. The Company generally estimates the fair value of an investment in an unconsolidated entity by using a cash flow analysis for estimated future net distributions from an unconsolidated entity, subject to the perceived risks associated with the unconsolidated entity’s cash flow streams. During the three months ended February 29, 2024, the Company evaluated the fair value of its investments in unconsolidated entities using a cash flow analysis and concluded that the investments had no other-than-temporary impairment.
The Company estimates the fair value of investments in unconsolidated entities evaluated for impairment based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the investment is evaluated, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or assumptions change.
(10)(9)Variable Interest Entities
TheDuring the three months ended February 29, 2024, the Company evaluated the joint venture ("JV"(“JV”) agreements of its JV's that were formed or that had reconsideration events, such as changes in the governing documents or to debt arrangements. Based on the Company's evaluation, there were no variable interest entities ("VIEs"(“VIEs”) that were consolidated or deconsolidated during the three months ended February 28, 2023.29, 2024.
The carrying amount of the Company's consolidated VIEs' assets and non-recourse liabilities are disclosed in the footnote to the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

A VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of that VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of the Company’s senior notes or other debts payable. The assets held by a VIE are usually a 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 VIE’s lenders. Other than debt guarantee agreements with VIE’s lenders, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to a VIE. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts.contracts, but that would require forfeiture of deposits and pre-acquisition costs.

The maximum exposure for LMV 1 and LMV II, in addition to the investment, also included the remaining combined equity commitment of $14.2 million and $19.3$12.8 million as of both February 28, 202329, 2024 and November 30, 2022, respectively,2023 for future expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects. Decrease in exposure for the three months ended February 28, 2023 is primarily due to the removal of LMV I as the Fund does not expect to call for equity in the future. As a result, LMV I is not a VIE as of February 28, 2023.

The Company and its JV partners generally fund JVs as needed and in accordance with business plans to allow the entities to finance their activities. Because such JVs are expected to make future capital calls in order to continue to finance their activities, the entities are determined to be VIEs as of February 28, 202329, 2024 in accordance with ASC 810 due to insufficient equity at risk. While these entities are VIEs, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance is generally shared and the Company and its partners are not de-facto agents. While the Company generally manages the day-to-day operations of the VIEs, each of these VIEs has an executive committee made up of representatives from each partner. The members of the executive committee have equal votes and major decisions require unanimous consent and approval from all members. The Company does not have the unilateral ability to exercise participating voting rights without partner consent.
There are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to the VIEs. Except for the unconsolidated VIEs discussed above, the Company and the other partners did not guarantee any debt of the other unconsolidated VIEs. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its unconsolidated VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts.
Option Contracts
The Company has access to land through option contracts, which generally enable it to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land funds) and unconsolidated entitiesbanks) until the Company has determined whether to exercise the options.
The Company evaluates option contracts with third party land holding companies in which the Company holds option contracts for land to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of certain of these land holding companies.option contracts. Although the Company does not have legal title to the optioned land, if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, orand makes a significant deposit or pre-acquisition cost investment for optioned land, or is otherwise economically compelled to takedown the optioned land it may need to consolidate the associated land holding company.under option at the purchase price of the optioned land.

During the three months ended February 28, 2023,29, 2024, consolidated inventory not owned decreasedincreased by $107.8$555.4 million with a corresponding decreaseincrease to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2023.29, 2024. The decreaseincrease was primarily due to an increase inland financing transactions and the consolidation of homesites under option that the Company is economically compelled to takedown. These increases were partially offset by homesite takedowns in the quarter.takedowns. To reflect the purchase price of the homesite takedowns, the Company had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to finished homes and construction in progress in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2023.29, 2024. 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 on its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities werewas as follows:

For the three months ended February 29, 2024, the Company purchased a significant portion of land from one land bank (the “Land Bank”). There were no amounts due to the Land Bank as of February 29, 2024, resulting from land purchases as the full purchase price of the land is typically paid to the Land Bank at closing when land is purchased by the Company. As of February 29, 2024, the total deposits and pre-acquisition costs on real estate relating to contracts with the Land Bank were $669.9 million. As of February 29, 2024, total consolidated inventory not owned and liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned relating to contracts with the Land Bank were $886.2 million and $749.2 million, respectively.
The Company believes there are other land banks that could be substituted should the Land Bank become unavailable or non-competitive with respect to land banking of future land. Thus, the Company does not believe that the loss of the Company’s relationship with this Land Bank would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or cash flows.
(11)(10)Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is party to various claims, legal actions and complaints relating to homes sold by the Company 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. From time to time, the Company is also a party to various lawsuits involving purchases and sales of real property. These lawsuits often 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.
Product Warranty
Warranty and similar reserves for homes are established at an amount estimated to be adequate to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a home. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. The activity in the Company’s warranty reserve, which is included in Homebuilding other liabilities, was as follows:

Outlook
In these extraordinarily difficult and volatile market conditions, the Lennar team has focused on our strategies, and we have executed with precision. We endedDuring the first quarter with stronger-than-expected revenues and deliveries, strong profitability and cash flow, a fortifiedof fiscal 2024, we continued to execute our operating plan effectively, driving excellent operating results. We have never been better positioned, from balance sheet to execution to operating strategy, to address market conditions as they unfold for the remainder of 2024 and beyond.
Overall, the macroeconomic environment remains relatively strong liquidity. Veryfor new homebuilders. There continues to be strong demand for housing, limited new home inventory exists, existing home supply has fallen as existing homeowners hold on to extremely low mortgage rates, and multifamily production is very limited. This, combined withby the chronic housing production shortfall overshortage, which is particularly problematic for working-class families. Demand from that group remains robust if homes can be built at an attainable price point. Generally speaking, consumers are employed and are confident that they will remain employed and that their compensation is likely to rise. This is most often the past decade, leavesfoundation of a strong housing market.
Along with supply shortage, the industry in what we believe will be a fairly short duration correction without an inventory overhang to resolve.
The homebuilding industry has been experiencing strong headwinds and equally strong tailwinds. The headwinds have been defined by Federal Reserve-driven interest rate increases to combat high inflation. The tailwinds have been defined by housing shortages across the country resulting from production deficits over the past decade. While potential homebuyers remain challenged by affordability concerns, they are adjusting toadditional limiting factor remains affordability. With higher interest rates and opting to purchase their homes. The housing supply shortage, especially workforce housing,stubborn inflation, affordability continues to drive customersbe tested as higher monthly payments make qualifying for a loan increasingly difficult. Inflation-driven higher cost-of-living expenses have made saving for a down payment increasingly difficult, and higher prices have begun to stretch their wallet aslead to increased personal and credit card debt. We have started to see early evidence of possible debt delinquency derailing some mortgage applications.
Homebuilders have been uniquely able to capture demand by using incentives, including interest rate buy-downs, closing cost pickups and price reductions, to unlock affordability restraints and enable purchasers to buy homes.
Against this backdrop, during our first quarter, we focused on, and were consistent in executing, our core operating strategy. We continued to migrate to a pure play manufacturing model across each of our 40 homebuilding divisions in order to reduce production costs while generating consistent cash flow. We are re-engineering our products for efficiency and volume in order to enhance our inventory turn and grow volume. We have workedalso continued to meet purchasers halfway. We believe the housing market is beginningmigrate to find a point of stabilizationland light balance sheet in order to drive total shareholder return, return on inventory and customers, both primary and institutional, are coming to grips with the new normal of higher but acceptable interest rates.return on equity.
We are seeing the kind of volatility thatoperating under a model where we are starting homes at a pace designed to generate growth while we maximize logistics and efficiencies in order to benefit from reduced construction costs. Our trade partners are given visibility on our core operating strategy has been built to endure. With volume and production as constants, we use margin as our volatility shock absorber. If market conditions deteriorate, we compromise margin through price reductions and increased incentives, but we generate strong cash flow. If conditions improve, we improve margins and bottom line while also generating strong cash flow. Our primary focus is on cash flow.
We have remained steadfast in our adherence to the six core strategies we adopted when the Fed began its tightening program approximately one year agotiming so they can be more efficient, and we pass their efficiencies on to our customers through more affordable products. Our trade partners find that they have added a seventh coreconsistent work with our production strategy,. which leads to higher productivity and, therefore, to cost savings. We gain by driving volume when others pull back.
We willOur goal is even flow deliveries whereby starts continue to utilizeincrease gradually quarter over quarter until we ultimately provide a consistent rate of deliveries throughout the year. A consistent level of starts maximizes the efficiencies for our Dynamic Pricing Modeltrade partners. That in conjunctionturn attracts a larger trade base and, together with a normalized supply chain, has reduced the cycle time for us to build a home. Our average cycle time decreased in the first quarter by seven days from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and was down 30% from the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Driving our confidence to start homes at a pace that achieves maximum efficiency in the field is the Lennar machine. This is a combined program of digital marketing, platformsales consultant engagement and dynamic pricing. If we build a home, we sell that home. We sell by digitally acquiring leads and referring the best of the leads to focus on selling homes at market-clearing prices and drive volumeour sales professionals. They nurture those leads while building at a consistent paceour dynamic pricing model helps tailor pricing in real time to meet the needsmarket in response to consumer desires, and market and competitive conditions. The dynamically adjusted pricing, using incentives or price alterations, automatically adjusts our margins up or down while we maintain production and sales pace.
We recognize that the chronic housing shortage is a critical issue. Working-class housing is essential to the effective working of a supply-constrainedour cities across the country. We are working on using our strategies for production and cost efficiencies to build housing market.
that is accessible to everyone. Land and impact fees are getting more expensive and labor costs have been rising. We will work side-by-sidecan only reduce our costs by increasing productivity due to the efficiencies of our operations. We are building more consistent core products that are carefully value-engineered, and we are using our start pace to engineer our production cycle, which enables us to reduce our cycle time and, working with our trade partners, to right-size our construction costs to current market conditions, while we re-establish cycle time at pre-supply chain crisis levels. We expect recently negotiated cost reductions to be reflectedbuild efficiencies in our reported numberslogistics and in the back half of the year as cost reductions will improve lagging margins.
We will continue to sharpen our attention on land and land acquisitions by relentlessly focusing on protecting cash and only purchasing land that delivers the next strong margin at today’s market pricing. We recognized early on that land would be expensive relative to reduced prices, and therefore, we reconsidered every land deal in our pipeline very early on and either walked from deposits or renegotiated terms and price to today’s market standards.
We will manage our operating costs and reduce our S,G&A expense so that even at lower gross margins, we will drive a strong net margin. We have been improving our S,G&A leverage over the past years quarter-by-quarter to new record lows and many of those changes, though not all, are hardwired. Nevertheless, as average sales prices come down, the percentages won't hold without corresponding additional cuts. We also know that in more difficult times, there will be upward pressure on some of our sales, marketing and realtor costs in order to find purchasers and drive new sales.
We will maintain tight inventory control. Inventory has remained flat as opposed to being lower year-over-year as one might expect, because of expanded cycle time due to the supply chain disruption. We expect to bring down our cycle time over the next few quarters. This will free up a significant amount of cash that currently is tied up in the increased inventory dollars related to homes under construction.
We will continue to focus on our cash flow and bottom line to protect and enhance our already strong balance sheet. Although bottom line profitability will be compressed year-over-year as prices and margins are impacted in a correcting market, our balance sheet and our cash position will continue to improve. This will give us the flexibility to be opportunistic as market conditions stabilize as well as to undertake stock repurchases and debt reductions that improve total shareholder returns and return on equity.
We have added an additional core strategy since last quarter-end. This is the strategy of continuous improvement throughout the company. We have created continuous improvement metrics for every leader in our company with a direct tie to performance measurement and bonus structure. We believe focusing on continuous improvement as a core strategy will help us continue to reach higher and drive harder to be the best version of ourselves.
We believe 2023 is going to be complicated and volatile as the Federal Reserve and Federal Government try to minimize the consequences of aggressive interest rate hikes. There is no way to anticipate with certainty what comes next, however, we have a plan to navigate the uncertainties of 2023 with a focus on maintaining volume, maximizing margin, managing inventories, driving cash flow, managing land ownership and land spend and further enhancing our balance sheet in spite of the challenging market conditions. While we're prepared for volatility and adversity along the way we willrun our community production.
We have intensified our focus on build-to-rent, both at community scale and in single-family-for-rent scattered home sale markets. We believe we can, and should, build additional production for professionally owned housing, but professional owners need cost efficiencies in today’s interest rate environment to make their rents attainable for families who aspire to a single-family lifestyle, but can’t yet afford a down payment or qualify for a mortgage. We don’t believe that professional investors compete with primary homeowners when they purchase homes for rental. Rather, we think those investors are filling a critical need for underserved families who seek to bridge their lifestyle while they build a down payment and credit score to ultimately achieve home ownership. We are also building our core operating strategies as the way to perform as expected.multifamily product through off-balance sheet entities.

We are refining our land strategy to dovetail with our production orientation. We are focusing on a just-in-time delivery program for land, just as we do for lumber, appliances and other products that are part of a home. We accomplish this both by negotiating option deals with landowners and developers and by using structured land bank strategies, often with entities that deploy private equity capital. Our land light strategy has generated consistent cash flow through the ups and downs of interest rate changes and has enhanced our balance sheet and our liquidity, even after we redeemed several billion dollars of debt, and repurchased a substantial amount of our stock, over the past years. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we increased our dividend to $2.00 per share per year and our Board authorized an increase to our stock repurchase program to enable us to repurchase up to an additional $5 billion in value of our outstanding Class A or Class B common stock.
Our land light strategy has benefitted strongly from land banking arrangements. We have concerns about the durability of these arrangements. Availability of private equity participation in our land banking arrangements depends upon market conditions and can change significantly and quickly. Accordingly, we are not providingconsidering a strategic spinoff that would provide a durable land strategy. By spinning off our own excess land in a taxable spinoff, we can create a permanent capital vehicle that will develop homesites and give us options to acquire them. Such a spinoff would distribute capital to our stockholders, reduce the targeted guidance aboutinventory on our books, and provide permanent dependable capital for future performanceland acquisitions.
We view the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as a strategic and operational success for our company. While market conditions remain challenging, demand is strong and there is a chronic housing supply shortage that needs to be filled. We will continue to drive production to meet that shortage. Also, if the Federal Reserve begins to cut interest rates, we providedbelieve that pent-up demand will be activated, and we will be well-positioned and well-prepared to take advantage of it.
Perhaps most importantly, our very strong balance sheet affords us the ability to consider and execute upon thoughtful innovation for the future. We have the luxury of being able to continue to execute our strategic operating plan while we return capital to our stockholders through dividends and stock buybacks and also pursue a strategic distribution to our stockholders.
We are anticipating 19,000 to 19,500 closings in the past. Instead, we are providing broad ranges to give some boundaries for various components of our expected results for the second quarter of 2023 and full year 2023. We expect our new orders for the second quarter of 2023 to be in the range of 16,000 and 17,000. We expect our second quarter deliveries to be between 15,000 and 16,000 homes2024 with a gross margin between 21.0% and 21.5%of approximately 22.5%. We expect to deliver 80,000 homes this year with a little over a 23% margin. We also expect to repurchase in excess of $2 billion of our S,G&A expenses as a percentage of home sale revenues will be between 7.2% and 7.4% but that percentage will adjust based on deliveries and homebuilding revenue. We expect our second quarter ending community count to be flat to slightly up year over year as we walked away from deals that would have produced new active communities, but no longer meet our margin expectations under current market conditions. Our second quarter average sales price should bestock in the range of $435,000 to $445,000 as we continue to price to market. Additionally, we are targeting delivery volume for the full year 2023 to be between 62,000 and 66,000 homes as we drive volume, pick up market share and build margins back up through reconciliation of construction and land costs while carefully managing S,G&A expenses.fiscal 2024.
(1) Results of Operations
Overview
We historically have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. Our results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 202329, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our homebuilding business is seasonal in nature and generally reflects higher levels of new home order activity in our second and third fiscal quarters and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, a variety of factors can alter seasonal patterns.
Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were $719.3 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $596.5 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $503.6 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022. Excluding mark-to-market losses on technology investments in both years, first quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2023 were $614.8 million or $2.12 per diluted share, compared to first quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2022 of $800.2 million or $2.70 per diluted share.2023.

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.

(1)Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). We believe the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in homebuilding operations. However, because net homebuilding debt to total capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement our GAAP results.
At February 28, 2023,29, 2024, Homebuilding debt to total capital was consistent with November 30, 2023, and was lower compared to both November 30, 2022 and February 28, 2022,2023, primarily as a result of an increase in stockholders' equity due to net earnings and a decrease in homebuildingHomebuilding debt due to debt paydowns, partially offset by share repurchases.
We are continually exploring various types of transactions to manage our leverage and liquidity positions, take advantage of market opportunities and increase our revenues and earnings. These transactions may include the issuance of additional indebtedness, the repurchase of our outstanding indebtedness, the repurchase of our common stock, the acquisition of homebuilders and other companies, the purchase or sale of assets or lines of business, the issuance of common stock, strategic transactions to accelerate our land light strategy or securities convertible into shares of common stock, and/or the pursuit of other financing alternatives. In connection with some of our non-homebuilding businesses, we are also considering other types of transactions such as sales, restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings as we continue to move back towards being a pure play homebuilding company.
Subject to market conditions, we intend to spin off our Multifamily and single family home for rent asset management businesses, together with some investment assets, by transferring them to a newly formed subsidiary, Quarterra Group, Inc. ("Quarterra"), and distributing the stock of that subsidiary to our stockholders. That will make us more of a pure homebuilding and financial services company. At this time, we have deferred this transaction due to current market conditions.

As of February 28, 2023,29, 2024, we had equity investments in 4847 active homebuildingHomebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which 45 had recourse debt, 15 had non-recourse debt and 2927 had no debt) compared toand 48 active homebuildingHomebuilding and land unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2022.2023. 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

infill experience) of our partners. Each joint venture is governed by an executive committee consisting of members from the partners. Details regarding these investments, balances and debt are included in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the principal maturities of our Homebuilding unconsolidated entities ("JVs"(“JVs”) debt as per current debt arrangements as of February 28, 2023.29, 2024. It does not represent estimates of future cash payments that will be made to reduce debt balances. Many JV loans have extension options in the loan agreements that would allow the loans to be extended into future years.

Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At February 28, 2023,29, 2024, Multifamily had equity investments in 2321 active unconsolidated entities that are engaged in multifamily residential developments (of which 18 had non-recourse debt and 53 had no debt), compared to 23 and 22 active unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2022.2023. 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. 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, LMV II and Canada Pension Plan Investments Fund, which are long-term multifamily development investment vehicles involved in the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. Details of each as of and during the three months ended February 28, 202329, 2024 are included in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lennar Other: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
As part of the sale of the Rialto investment and asset management platform, in 2018, we retained our abilitythe right to receive a portion of payments with regard to carried interests if certain funds meet specified performance thresholds. We periodically receive advance distributions related to the carried interests in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to the carried interests. These distributions are not subject to clawbacks but reduce future carried interest payments to which we become entitled from the applicable funds and were recorded as revenues.equity in earnings (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Our investment in the Rialto funds and investment vehicles totaled $177.7$142.2 million and $185.1$148.7 million as of February 28, 202329, 2024 and November 30, 2022,2023, 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)banks) and unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether to exercise the options. Since fiscal year 2020, we have been increasing the percentage of our total homesites that we control through option contracts rather than own.
The table below indicates the number of homesites owned (excluding homes in inventory) and homesites to which we had access through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated JVs (i.e., controlled homesites) and homesites owned (excluding homes in inventory):

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are party to various claims and lawsuits relating to homes we sold which arise in the ordinary course of business, but we do not consider the volume of our claims and lawsuits unusual given the number of homes we deliver and the fact that the lawsuits often relate to homes delivered several years before the lawsuits are commenced. Although the specific allegations in the lawsuits differ, they most commonly involve claims that we failed to construct homes in particular communities in accordance with plans and specifications or applicable construction codes and seek reimbursement for sums allegedly needed to remedy the alleged deficiencies, assert contract issues or relate to personal injuries. Lawsuits of these types are common within the homebuilding industry. We are a plaintiff in a number of cases in which we seek contribution from our subcontractors for home repair costs. The costs incurred by us in construction defect lawsuits may be offset by warranty reserves, our third-party insurers, subcontractor insurers or indemnity contributions from subcontractors. From time to time, we are also a party to lawsuits involving purchases and sales of real property. These lawsuits often include claims regarding representations and warranties made in connection with the transfer of the property and disputes regarding the obligation to purchase or sell the property. From time-to-time, we also receive notices from environmental agencies or other regulators regarding alleged violations of environmental or other laws. We typically settle theseall of the foregoing matters before they reach litigation for amounts that are not material to us.
We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims or lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on our 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. These risks are described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above, or in our other filings with the SEC, including Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2022,those reports, other than the impact of inflation and increased interest rates, which are discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above.
