Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation's largest homebuilders, today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. Fourth quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2020 were $882.8 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, compared to $674.3 million, or $2.13 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2019. Net earnings attributable to Lennar for the year ended November 30, 2020 were $2.5 billion, or $7.85 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 billion, or $5.74 per diluted share for the year ended November 30, 2019.
Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman of Lennar, said, "We are pleased to announce our results for the fourth quarter where we achieved net earnings of $882.8 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, compared to $674.3 million, or $2.13 per diluted share in the prior year. Our fourth quarter results benefited from the exceptional performance of our core homebuilding and financial services businesses combined with robust market conditions."
"The confluence of Millennials starting families and creating households of their own, along with the pro-housing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, has materially strengthened demand. This surge in demand for housing, combined with the market's inability to produce sufficient homes to meet this demand, has exacerbated the already well-documented undersupply of new and existing homes for sale. Lennar is well positioned with its production-oriented, Everything's Included(®) business model and strong land position to capitalize on this industry supply shortage."
"During the quarter, our core homebuilding operations continued to accelerate production, with starts up 28% over the prior year, as we focused on catching up for production lost to COVID-19 earlier in the year. As expected, our new home deliveries in the quarter decreased 2% from last year, but our focus on maximizing pricing power led to a 25.0% gross margin, a 350-basis point increase over the prior year, and a 17.4% net margin, an all-time high for the Company. In addition, our financial services business had an outstanding quarter with earnings of $151.2 million, an all-time quarterly high."
Rick Beckwitt, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of Lennar, said, "In the fourth quarter, we continued to focus on cash flow and returns. We executed on our previously stated focus of improving our controlled homesite percentage which increased by 600 basis points to 39% at the end of the fourth quarter from 33% last year, while reducing our years owned supply of homesites to 3.5 years from 4.1 years."
"During the quarter and fiscal year, we generated strong homebuilding cash flows of $2.0 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, paid off debt of $1.2 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, including all of our senior debt due in fiscal 2021, and had no borrowings under our $2.4 billion revolving credit facility at quarter end. We ended the quarter with $2.7 billion of cash and homebuilding debt to capital and net debt to capital of 24.9% and 15.3%, respectively, both all-time lows."
Jon Jaffe, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of Lennar, said, "Our sales pace continued to accelerate in the fourth quarter with strong sales in all of our major markets and we generated 4.3 sales per community, a 27% increase year-over-year. This sales improvement could have been even stronger if we had a singular focus on volume, but instead, we balanced sales, up 16% year-over-year, and production to drive growth in gross margin and cash flow, while allowing price appreciation to cover future cost escalation."
"Our laser focus on reducing construction costs helped drive excellent margins for the quarter. Additionally, our focus on improving our SG&A leverage, combined with the benefits of our technology efforts, resulted in an SG&A percentage of 7.5%, an all-time quarterly low."
Mr. Miller concluded, "The housing market has proven to be very strong and we expect it to continue to be a significant driver in the recovery of the overall economy over the next several years. We thank all of our associates and trade partners for their continued focus and dedication to ensure that we deliver high quality and safe homes during this pandemic. With an excellent balance sheet, strong cash flow generation and continued execution of our core operating strategies, we are well positioned for an even stronger 2021 with projected deliveries of 62,000 to 64,000 homes with a gross margin of 23.75% to 24.0%."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019
Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales decreased 2% in the fourth quarter of 2020 to $6.3 billion from $6.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019. Revenues were lower primarily due to a 2% decrease in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, decreased to 16,038 homes in the fourth quarter of 2020 from 16,391 homes in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2020 was due to production lost to COVID-19 in the second quarter. The average sales price of homes delivered, excluding unconsolidated entities, remained consistent at $393,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.
Gross margins on home sales were $1.6 billion, or 25.0%, in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $1.4 billion, or 21.5%, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily due to the Company's focus on reducing construction costs combined with favorable market conditions. Loss on land sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $27.2 million, primarily due to a change in strategy with three land assets that resulted in impairments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $475.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $491.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 7.5% in the fourth quarter of 2020, from 7.6% in the fourth quarter of 2019, as the Company focused on improving its leverage combined with the benefits of the Company's technology efforts.
Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $151.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $74.8 million ($81.2 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the fourth quarter of 2019. Operating earnings increased due to an improvement in the mortgage business as a result of an increase in margin and volume. Additionally, operating earnings of the Company's title business increased primarily due to higher volume.
Other Ancillary Businesses
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $26.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $3.7 million ($4.8 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the fourth quarter of 2019. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to operating earnings of $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020 COMPARED TO
YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019
Homebuilding
Revenues from home sales increased 1% in the year ended November 30, 2020 to $20.8 billion from $20.6 billion in the year ended November 30, 2019. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 3% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, partially offset by a 1% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 52,813 homes in the year ended November 30, 2020 from 51,412 homes in the year ended November 30, 2019, as a result of an increase in home deliveries in the Texas and West segments. The average sales price of homes delivered, excluding unconsolidated entities, decreased to $395,000 in the year ended November 30, 2020 from $400,000 in the year ended November 30, 2019. The decrease in average sales price primarily resulted from continuing to shift to lower-priced communities and regional product mix.
Gross margins on home sales were $4.7 billion, or 22.8%, in the year ended November 30, 2020, compared to $4.2 billion, or 20.6%, in the year ended November 30, 2019. The gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily due to the Company's continued focus on reducing construction costs combined with favorable market conditions. Loss on land sales in the year ended November 30, 2020 was $49.1 million, primarily due to a write-off of costs in the second quarter as a result of Lennar not moving forward with a naval base development in Concord, California, northeast of San Francisco and a change in strategy with three land assets that resulted in impairments in the fourth quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.7 billion in both years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 8.1% in the year ended November 30, 2020, from 8.3% in the year ended November 30, 2019, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries combined with the benefits of the Company's technology efforts.
Financial Services
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $481.0 million ($495.0 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the year ended November 30, 2020, compared to $224.6 million ($244.3 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the year ended November 30, 2019. Operating earnings increased due to an improvement in the mortgage and title businesses as a result of an increase in volume and margin, as well as reductions in loan origination costs. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2020, the Financial Services segment recorded a $61.4 million gain on the deconsolidation of a previously consolidated entity.
Other Ancillary Businesses
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $22.7 million in the year ended November 30, 2020, compared to operating earnings of $16.4 million ($18.1 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the year ended November 30, 2019. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $10.3 million in the year ended November 30, 2020, compared to operating earnings of $31.5 million ($32.0 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the year ended November 30, 2019.
Debt Transactions
In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company retired $1.2 billion of senior notes which included the redemption of $300 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.95% senior notes due November 2020 and early retirement of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.375% senior notes due January 2021 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% senior notes due April 2021.
During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company retired $1.5 billion of senior notes which included those senior notes described above and the redemption of $300 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.625% senior notes due May 2020. The redemption price for each issue of senior notes, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest and prepayment premiums.
Tax Rate
For the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a tax provision of $656.2 million and $592.2 million, respectively, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 21.0% and 24.3%, respectively. The reduction in the overall effective income tax rate was primarily due to the extension of the new energy efficient home tax credit during the first quarter of 2020.
Liquidity
At November 30, 2020, the Company had $2.7 billion of Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings under its $2.4 billion revolving credit facility, thereby providing $5.1 billion of available capacity.

(1) Amount represents interest incurred
related to Homebuilding debt.
(2) EBIT is a non-GAAP financial
measure defined as earnings before
interest and taxes. This financial
measure has been presented because
the Company finds it important and
useful in evaluating its
performance and believes that it
helps readers of the Company's
financial statements compare its
operations with those of its
competitors. Although management
finds EBIT to be an important
measure in conducting and
evaluating the Company's
operations, this measure has
limitations as an analytical tool
as it is not reflective of the
actual profitability generated by
the Company during the period.
Management compensates for the
limitations of using EBIT by using
this non-GAAP measure only to
supplement the Company's GAAP
results. Due to the limitations
discussed, EBIT should not be
viewed in isolation, as it is not
a substitute for GAAP measures.

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