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 VIEs (see Note 16) 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, 2016. 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 six months ended May 31, 2017 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.

Reclassifications/Revisions

As a result of the Company's change in reportable segments during fiscal year 2016, the Company restated certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2017 presentation (see Note 3). In addition, certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.


(2)	Business Acquisition

On February 10, 2017, the Company acquired WCI Communities, Inc. ("WCI") a homebuilder of luxury single and multifamily homes, including a small percentage of luxury high-rise tower units, with operations in Florida. WCI stockholders received $642.6 million in cash. The cash consideration was funded primarily from working capital and from proceeds from the issuance of 4.125% senior notes due 2022 (see Note 12).

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 following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, which are subject to change within a measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date pursuant to ASC 805. The purchase price allocation is provisional pending completion of the fair value analysis of acquired assets and liabilities assumed:



(In thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and receivables, net	$	42,079
Inventories	619,458
Intangible assets (1)	59,283
Goodwill (2)	156,633
Deferred tax assets, net	81,752
Other assets	66,173
Total assets	1,025,378
Liabilities:
Accounts payable	26,735
Senior notes and other debts payable	282,793
Other liabilities	73,228
Total liabilities	382,756
Total purchase price	$	642,622


(1)	Intangible assets include non-compete agreements and a trade name. The amortization period for these intangible assets is six months for the non-compete agreements and 20 years for the trade name.

(2)

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and it is not deductible for income tax purposes. As of the merger date, goodwill consisted primarily of purchasing and other synergies resulting from the merger, expected production, savings in corporate and division overhead costs and expected expanded opportunities for growth through a higher-end more luxurious product, greater presence in the state of Florida and customer diversity. The provisional amount of goodwill allocated to the Company's Homebuilding East segment was $136.6 million and to the Lennar Financial Services segment was $20.0 million. These provisional amounts were based on the relative fair value of each acquired reporting unit in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.

Lennar Homebuilding revenue and net earnings attributable to Lennar for the three and six months ended May 31, 2017 included $182.8 million and $202.3 million, respectively, of home sales revenue and $21.9 million and $13.2 million, respectively, of pre-tax earnings from WCI since the date of acquisition, which included transaction-related expenses of $8.0 million and $19.0 million, respectively, comprised mainly of severance costs, general and administrative expenses, and amortization expense related to non-compete agreements and trade name since the date of acquisition. These transaction expenses were included primarily within Lennar Homebuilding selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2017. The pro-forma effect of the acquisition on the results of operations is not presented as this acquisition was not considered material.


(3)	Operating and Reporting Segments

The Company’s operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. The Company’s reportable segments consist of:

(1) Homebuilding East

(2) Homebuilding Central

(3) Homebuilding West

(4) Lennar Financial Services

(5) Rialto

(6) Lennar Multifamily

Information about homebuilding activities in states which are not economically similar to other states in the same geographic area is grouped under "Homebuilding Other," which is not considered a reportable segment.

Evaluation of segment performance is based primarily on operating earnings (loss) before income taxes. Operations of the Company’s homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment and loss due to litigation.

The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately have homebuilding divisions located in:

East: Florida⁽¹⁾, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia

Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas

West: California and Nevada

Other: Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington


(1)	Florida includes information related to WCI from the date of acquisition (February 10, 2017) to May 31, 2017.

Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company’s homes and others. It also includes a real estate brokerage business acquired as part of the WCI transaction. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the 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, 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. Lennar Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance, closing services and real estate brokerage, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Lennar Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations as well as in other states.

Operations of the Rialto segment include raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans as well as investing its own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and real estate related securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto’s operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from gains from securitization transactions and interest income from the Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") business, interest income associated with portfolios of real estate loans acquired and other portfolios of real estate loans and assets acquired, asset management, due diligence and underwriting fees derived from the real estate investment funds managed by the Rialto segment, fees for sub-advisory services, other income (expense), net and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing portfolios, costs related to RMF and other general and administrative expenses.

Operations of the Lennar Multifamily segment include revenues generated from the sales of land, revenue from construction activities and management fees generated from joint ventures and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the cost of sales of land, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses.

Each reportable segment follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2016. Operational results of each segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

(4)	Lennar Homebuilding Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

(In thousands)	2017			2016		2017		2016
Revenues	$	132,587		208,636		178,723		308,362

Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities	$	(21,506	)	(9,633	)	(33,040	)	(6,633	)

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company’s share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities. The operating losses from the Company's unconsolidated entities were primarily driven by general and administrative expenses as there were no significant home and land sale transactions to offset those expenses during the three and six months ended May 31, 2017.

For the both the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination. This was partially offset by $6.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively, of equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales to third parties of 253 and 471 homesites, respectively, for the three and six months ended May 31, 2016. For both the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, 312 homesites were sold to Lennar by one of the Company's unconsolidated entities for $92.0 million that resulted in $29.7 million of gross profit, of which the Company's portion was deferred.

	$	5,334,608	5,445,245


(1)	Debt presented above is net of debt issuance costs of $5.7 million and $4.2 million, as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

On May 2, 2016 (the "Closing Date"), the Company contributed, or obtained the right to contribute, its investment in three strategic joint ventures previously managed by FivePoint Communities in exchange for an investment in a FivePoint entity. The fair values of the assets contributed to this FivePoint entity are included within the unconsolidated entities summarized condensed balance sheet presented above. A portion of the assets of one of the three strategic joint ventures transferred to a new unconsolidated entity was retained by Lennar and its venture partner. The transactions did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2016. For the year ended November 30, 2016, the Company recorded $42.6 million of its share of combination costs and operational net losses in equity in loss from unconsolidated entities on the consolidated statement of operations.

In May 2017, FivePoint completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). Concurrent with the IPO, the Company invested $100 million in FivePoint. As of May 31, 2017, the Company owns approximately 40% of FivePoint and the carrying amount of the Company's investment is $356.4 million.

As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $995.4 million and $811.7 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of both May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016 was $1.2 billion. The basis difference is primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in three strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings on land sales to the Company.

The Lennar 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 Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments, including Lennar's maximum recourse exposure, were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	May 31, 2017			November 30, 2016
Non-recourse bank debt and other debt (partner’s share of several recourse)	$	73,239		48,945
Non-recourse land seller debt and other debt (1)	1,997			323,995
Non-recourse debt with completion guarantees	305,420			147,100
Non-recourse debt without completion guarantees	327,877			320,372
Non-recourse debt to the Company	708,533			840,412
The Company’s maximum recourse exposure (2)	80,468			52,438
Debt issuance costs	(5,662		)	(4,186	)
Total debt	$	783,339		888,664
The Company’s maximum recourse exposure as a % of total JV debt	10		%	6	%


(1)	Non-recourse land seller debt and other debt as of November 30, 2016 included a $320 million non-recourse note related to a transaction between one of the Company's unconsolidated entities and another unconsolidated joint venture, which was settled in December 2016.


(2)	As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company's maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to the Company providing repayment guarantees on three unconsolidated entities' debt and one unconsolidated entity's debt, respectively.

In most instances in which the Company has guaranteed debt of a Lennar 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 Lennar 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 Lennar 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 May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the fair values of the repayment guarantees and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of May 31, 2017, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Lennar 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).


(5)	Stockholders' Equity

The following table reflects the changes in equity attributable to both Lennar Corporation and the noncontrolling interests of its consolidated subsidiaries in which it has less than a 100% ownership interest for both the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016:

(6)	Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were as follows:



	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	May 31,					May 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2017			2016		2017		2016
Provision for income taxes	$	(108,892	)	(103,801	)	(128,861	)	(160,042	)
Effective tax rate (1)	33.76		%	32.21	%	33.86	%	30.62	%


(1)	For the three and six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, the effective tax rate included tax benefits for (1) settlements with the IRS, (2) the domestic production activities deduction, and (3) energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expense.

As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company's deferred tax assets, net, included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $369.0 million and $277.4 million, respectively.

At both May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company had $12.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits.

At May 31, 2017, the Company had $47.8 million accrued for interest and penalties, of which $2.2 million was accrued during the six months ended May 31, 2017. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, the accrual for interest and penalties was reduced by $0.4 million, primarily as a result of interest payments. At November 30, 2016, the Company had $46.0 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") are considered participating securities.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:

The assets and liabilities related to the Lennar Financial Services segment were as follows:

(1)	Receivables, net primarily related to loans sold to investors for which the Company had not yet been paid as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.


(2)	Loans held-for-sale related to unsold loans carried at fair value.


(3)	Investments available-for-sale are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).


(4)	As of May 31, 2017, goodwill included $20.0 million of goodwill related to the WCI acquisition. The amount provided herein is provisional, pending completion of the fair value analysis of WCI's acquired assets and liabilities assumed (see Note 2).


(5)	As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, other assets included mortgage loan commitments carried at fair value of $18.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, and mortgage servicing rights carried at fair value of $27.4 million and $23.9 million, respectively. In addition, other assets also included forward contracts carried at fair value of $26.5 million as of November 30, 2016.


(6)	As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, other liabilities included $58.4 million and $57.4 million, respectively, of certain of the Company’s self-insurance reserves related to construction defects, general liability and workers’ compensation. Other liabilities also included forward contracts carried at fair value of $6.8 million as of May 31, 2017.

At May 31, 2017, the Lennar Financial Services segment warehouse facilities were as follows:



(In thousands)	Maximum Aggregate Commitment
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures June 2017 (1)	$	600,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures September 2017	300,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017 (2)	400,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures March 2018 (3)	150,000
Total	$	1,450,000


(1)	Subsequent to May 31, 2017, the warehouse repurchase facility maturity date was extended to June 2018.


(2)	Maximum aggregate commitment includes an uncommitted amount of $250 million.


(3)	Maximum aggregate commitment includes an uncommitted amount of $75 million.

The Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its 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. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were $792.4 million and $1.1 billion at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $824.1 million and $1.1 billion at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting on receivables on loans sold but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

Substantially, all of the loans the Lennar 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. Over the last several years there has been an industry-wide effort by purchasers to defray their 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 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 Lennar Financial Services’ liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The activity in the Company’s loan origination liabilities was as follows:

(2)	Receivables, net primarily related to loans sold but not settled as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.


(3)	Loans held-for-sale related to unsold loans originated by RMF carried at fair value and loans in the FDIC Portfolios carried at lower of cost or market.


(4)	As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, notes and other debts payable primarily included $349.0 million and $348.7 million, respectively, related to Rialto's 7.00% senior notes due 2018, and $363.6 million and $223.5 million, respectively, related to Rialto's warehouse repurchase facilities.

Rialto Mortgage Finance - loans held-for-sale

During the six months ended May 31, 2017, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $837.7 million of which $823.7 million were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $14.1 million were recorded as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $870.4 million of loans into five separate securitizations. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $670.3 million of which $654.0 million were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $16.3 million as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $766.4 million of loans into five separate securitizations. As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, originated loans with an unpaid principal balance of $392.7 million and $199.8 million, respectively, were sold into a securitization trust but not settled and thus were included as receivables, net.

FDIC Portfolios

In 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies ("LLCs") in partnership with the FDIC ("FDIC Portfolios"). The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts.

In February 2017, the FDIC exercised its “clean-up call rights” under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement. As a result, Rialto has until July 10, 2017 to liquidate and sell the assets in the FDIC Portfolios. After July 10, 2017, the FDIC can, at its discretion, sell any remaining assets. At May 31, 2017, the consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $117.5 million, which primarily included $80.3 million of real estate owned, net and $23.8 million of loans held-for-sale.

Warehouse Facilities

At May 31, 2017, Rialto warehouse facilities were as follows:



(In thousands)	Maximum Aggregate Commitment
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures October 2017	$	500,000
Warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017	200,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures January 2018	250,000
Total - Loan origination and securitization business (RMF)	$	950,000
Warehouse repurchase facility that matures August 2018 (two - one year extensions) (1)	100,000
Total	$	1,050,000


(1)	Rialto uses this warehouse repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans, which are reported as accrual loans within loans receivable, net. Borrowings under this facility were $43.3 million as of both May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016.

Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $320.3 million and $180.2 million as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, 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 the Company 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 and by collecting on receivables on loans sold, but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Rialto segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Generally, all of Rialto's investments in funds have the attributes of an investment company in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, as amended by ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements, the attributes of which are different from the attributes that would cause a company to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the funds in which Rialto has investments in are recorded at fair value with increases/decreases in fair value recorded in their respective statements of operations and the Company’s share is recorded in Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities in the Company's statement of operations.

The following table reflects Rialto's investments in funds that invest in and manage real estate related assets and other investments:

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, Rialto received $2.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of advance distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in its real estate funds in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds. In addition, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, Rialto received $8.8 million and $18.8 million, respectively, of distributions with regard to its carried interest in Rialto Real Estate Fund, LP. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, Rialto received $2.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of such advanced distributions.

During 2015, Rialto adopted a Carried Interest Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), under which participating employees in the aggregate may receive up to 40% of the equity units of a limited liability company (a "Carried Interest Entity") that is entitled to carried interest distributions made by a fund or other investment vehicle (a "Fund") managed by a subsidiary of Rialto. As such, those employees receiving equity units in a Carried Interest Entity may benefit from distributions made by a Fund to the extent the Carried Interest Entity makes distributions to its equity holders. The units issued to employees are equity awards and are subject to vesting schedules and forfeiture or repurchase provisions in the case of a termination of employment.

Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Rialto’s investments in unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

Investments held-to-maturity

At May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the carrying value of Rialto's commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") was $112.5 million and $71.3 million, respectively. These securities were purchased at discounts ranging from 9% to 78% with coupon rates ranging from 1.3% to 4.4%, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and February 2027, and stated maturity dates between November 2043 and March 2059. The Rialto segment reviews changes in estimated cash flows periodically to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on its CMBS. Based on the Rialto segment’s assessment, no impairment charges were recorded during either the three and six months ended May 31, 2017 or May 31, 2016. The Rialto segment classified these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.


(10)	Lennar Multifamily Segment

The Company is actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development, construction and property management of multifamily rental properties. The Lennar Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.

The assets and liabilities related to the Lennar Multifamily segment were as follows:



(In thousands)	May 31, 2017		November 30, 2016
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	9,288	6,600

	$	653,229	526,131
Liabilities:
Accounts payable and other liabilities	$	123,166	117,973


(1)	Receivables primarily related to general contractor services and management fee income receivables due from unconsolidated entities as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

The unconsolidated entities in which the Lennar 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 Lennar 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 be increases to 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 May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. Additionally, as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Lennar Multifamily segment had $15.2 million and $32.0 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. These letters of credit outstanding are included in the disclosure in Note 12 related to the Company's performance and financial letters of credit. As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, Lennar Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $744.2 million and $589.4 million, respectively.

In many instances, the Lennar Multifamily segment is appointed as the construction, development and property manager for certain of its Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities and receives fees for performing this function. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, the Lennar Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of $15.2 million and $28.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, the Lennar Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of $9.3 million and $17.4 million, respectively.

The Lennar Multifamily segment also provides general contractor services for construction of some of the rental properties owned by unconsolidated entities in which the Company has an investment. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, the Lennar Multifamily segment provided general contractor services totaling $84.6 million and $160.4 million, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of $83.3 million and $157.0 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, the Lennar Multifamily segment provided general contractor services totaling $53.5 million and $84.9 million, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of $51.7 million and $82.3 million, respectively.

The Lennar Multifamily Venture (the "Venture") is a long-term multifamily development investment vehicle 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 Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, $334.5 million in equity commitments were called, of which the Company contributed $76.0 million representing the Company's pro-rata portion of the called equity. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, the Company received no distributions as a return of capital from the Venture, except for distributions of capital related to land contributions to the Venture. As of May 31, 2017, $1.3 billion of the $2.2 billion in equity commitments had been called, of which the Company had contributed $291.9 million, representing its pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for the Company of $212.1 million. As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the carrying value of the Company's investment in the Venture was $268.1 million and $198.2 million, respectively.

Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Lennar Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

(1)	The Company became a co-borrower with regard to the 6.875% senior notes due 2021 (the "6.875% Senior Notes") as a result of the WCI acquisition. The 6.875% Senior Notes were recorded at fair value with a principal outstanding amount of $249.8 million and are callable at declining premiums until maturity.

The carrying amounts of the senior notes listed above are net of debt issuance costs of $28.1 million and $22.1 million, as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

In May 2017, the Company amended the credit agreement governing its unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to increase the maximum borrowings from $1.8 billion to $2.0 billion and extend the maturity on $1.4 billion of the Credit Facility from June 2020 to June 2022, with $160 million maturing in June 2018 and the remaining $50 million maturing in June 2020. As of May 31, 2017, the Credit Facility included a $403 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit agreement also provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. Under the Credit Facility agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio and either a liquidity or an interest coverage ratio. These ratios are calculated per the Credit Facility agreement, which involves adjustments to GAAP financial measures. The Company believes it was in compliance with its debt covenants at May 31, 2017. In addition, the Company had $330 million of letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.

The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were $318.7 million and $270.8 million, respectively, at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were $144.3 million and $210.3 million, at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee the Company’s performance of certain development and construction activities. Financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at May 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $1.2 billion including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects in the Company’s joint ventures) and financial surety bonds. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. As of May 31, 2017, there were approximately $575.4 million, or 48%, of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. The Company does not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any such draws occur, the Company does not believe they would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2022 (the "4.125% Senior Notes") at a price of 100%. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were $595.2 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sales of the 4.125% Senior Notes to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Company's acquisition of WCI and to pay for costs and expenses related to this acquisition as well as for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 4.125% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning July 15, 2017. The 4.125% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.

In April 2017, the Company issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2024 (the "4.50% Senior Notes") at a price of 100%. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were $645.0 million. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sales of the 4.50% Senior Notes for the retirement of its 12.25% senior notes due 2017 for 100% of the $400 million outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company intends to use the balance of the net proceeds together with cash on hand for general corporate purposes, which may include the redemption of its 6.875% senior notes due 2021. Interest on the 4.50% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning October 30, 2017. The 4.50% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.

The Company's senior notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries and some of the Company's other subsidiaries. Although the guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several while they are in effect, (i) a subsidiary will cease to be a guarantor at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million of debt of Lennar Corporation (the parent company), and (ii) 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.


(13)	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 Company regularly monitors the warranty reserve and makes adjustments to its pre-existing warranties in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available.

(15)	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, 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.

Lennar Financial Services notes and other debts payable	Level 2	$	792,623	792,623	1,077,228	1,077,228

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:

Rialto—The fair values for loans receivable, net are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated cost to sell or discounted cash flows, if estimable. The fair value for investments held-to-maturity is based on discounted cash flows. For notes and other debts payable, the fair value is calculated based on discounted cash flows using the Company’s weighted average borrowing rate and for the warehouse repurchase financing agreements fair values approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturities.

Lennar 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 borrowings.

Lennar 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.

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:



(In thousands)	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value at May 31, 2017			Fair Value at November 30, 2016
Rialto Financial Assets:
RMF loans held-for-sale (1)	Level 3	$	82,803		126,947
Credit default swaps (2)	Level 2	$	2,046		2,863
Rialto Financial Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps and swap futures (3)	Level 2	$	906		6
Lennar Financial Services Assets (Liabilities):

Forward contracts	Level 2	$	(6,796	)	26,467
Mortgage servicing rights	Level 3	$	27,370		23,930


(1)	The aggregate fair value of RMF loans held-for-sale of $82.8 million at May 31, 2017 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $80.4 million by $2.4 million. The aggregate fair value of loans held-for-sale of $126.9 million at November 30, 2016 was below their aggregate principal balance of $127.8 million by $0.9 million.


(2)	Rialto's credit default swaps are included within Rialto's other assets.


(3)	Rialto's interest rate swaps and swap futures are included within Rialto's other liabilities.


(4)	The aggregate fair value of Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale of $820.4 million at May 31, 2017 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $788.0 million by $32.4 million. The aggregate fair value of Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale of $939.4 million at November 30, 2016 exceeded their aggregate principal balance of $931.0 million by $8.4 million.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments have been determined by 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 following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:

Rialto 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.

Rialto credit default swaps- The fair value of credit default swaps (derivatives) is based on quoted market prices for similar investments traded in active markets.

Rialto interest rate swaps and swap futures- The fair value of interest rate swaps (derivatives) is based on observable values for underlying interest rates and market determined risk premiums. The fair value of interest rate swap futures (derivatives) is based on quoted market prices for similar investments traded in active markets.

Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale- Fair value is based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices for other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. Management believes carrying loans held-for-sale at fair value improves financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring the fair value of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of these servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.

Lennar Financial Services investments available-for-sale- The fair value of these investments is based on the quoted market prices for similar financial instruments.

Lennar 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 Lennar Financial Services segment has committed to originate the loans. The fair value of commitments to sell loan contracts is the estimated amount that the Lennar 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 fair value of the mortgage loan commitments and related servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services’ other assets.

Lennar Financial Services forward contracts- Fair value is based on quoted market prices for similar financial instruments. The fair value of forward contracts is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other liabilities as of May 31, 2017. The fair value of forward contracts is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other assets as of November 30, 2016.

The Lennar 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 May 31, 2017, the segment had open commitments amounting to $1.2 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through August 2017.

Lennar Financial Services mortgage servicing rights- Lennar 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. As of May 31, 2017, the key assumptions used in determining the fair value include a 14.1% mortgage prepayment rate, a 12.3% discount rate and a 6.1% delinquency rate. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other assets.

(1)	Represents losses due to valuation adjustments, write-offs, gains (losses) from transfers or acquisitions of real estate through foreclosure and REO impairments recorded during the three and six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016.


(2)	Valuation adjustments were included in Lennar Homebuilding costs and expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016.

(3)

The fair value of REO, net is based upon appraised value at the time of foreclosure or management's best estimate. In addition, management periodically performs valuations of its REO. The losses, net upon the transfer or acquisition of REO and impairments were included in Rialto other expense, net, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016.

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, 2016.

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. As of May 31, 2017 and 2016, there were 732 and 689 active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, respectively. As of May 31, 2017, the Company identified 16 communities with 677 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $70.0 million as having potential indicators of impairment. Of those communities, the Company recorded a valuation adjustment of $7.5 million on 469 homesites in six communities with a carrying value of $12.0 million.

As of May 31, 2016, the Company identified 20 communities with 652 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $116.0 million as having potential indicators of impairment. For the six months ended May 31, 2016, the Company recorded no impairments.

The table below summarizes the most significant unobservable inputs used in the Company's discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of its communities for which the Company recorded valuation adjustments during the six months ended May 31, 2017:



	Six Months Ended
	May 31, 2017
Unobservable inputs	Range
Average selling price	$	125,000	-	$567,000
Absorption rate per quarter (homes)	4		-	10
Discount rate	20%


(16)	Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluated the agreements of its joint ventures that were formed or that had reconsideration events during the six months ended May 31, 2017. Based on the Company's evaluation, during the six months ended May 31, 2017, there were no VIEs that were consolidated or deconsolidated.

The Company’s recorded investments in unconsolidated entities were as follows:



(In thousands)	May 31, 2017		November 30, 2016
Lennar Homebuilding	$	995,400	811,723
Rialto	$	244,301	245,741
Lennar Multifamily	$	377,265	318,559

Consolidated VIEs

As of May 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $575.7 million and $144.1 million, respectively. As of November 30, 2016, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $536.3 million and $126.4 million, respectively. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the VIEs, not the Company.

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 and 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

The Company’s recorded investments in VIEs that are unconsolidated and its estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows:

As of May 31, 2017



(In thousands)	Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs		Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss
Lennar Homebuilding (1)	$	214,608	290,705
Rialto (2)	112,452		112,452
Lennar Multifamily (3)	309,198		537,997
	$	636,258	941,154

As of November 30, 2016



(In thousands)	Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs		Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss
Lennar Homebuilding (1)	$	120,940	164,804
Rialto (2)	71,260		71,260
Lennar Multifamily (3)	240,928		549,093
	$	433,128	785,157


(1)	At both May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to repayment guarantees of unconsolidated entities' debt of $72.9 million and $43.4 million, respectively.

(2)

At both May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of Rialto’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. At May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, investments in unconsolidated VIEs and Lennar’s maximum exposure to loss included $112.5 million and $71.3 million, respectively, related to Rialto’s investments held-to-maturity.

(3)

As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the remaining equity commitment of $212.1 million and $288.2 million, respectively, to fund the Venture for future expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects is included in Lennar's maximum exposure to loss. In addition, at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $15.1 million and $19.7 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.

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. 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 May 31, 2017, the Company and other partners did not have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs, except for $212.1 million remaining equity commitment to fund the Venture for future expenditures related to the construction and development of the projects and $15.1 million of letters of credit outstanding for certain Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements. In addition, 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 with regard to $72.9 million repayment guarantees of two unconsolidated entities' debt. 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 enables 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 option.

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 six months ended May 31, 2017, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $17.6 million with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2017. The increase was primarily related to the consolidation of an option agreement, partially offset by the Company exercising its option 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 land under development to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2017. 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 loss related to its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of its non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $91.1 million and $85.0 million at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. Additionally, the Company had posted $41.1 million and $45.1 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.


(17)	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company is 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 condensed 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 has been engaged in litigation since 2008 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland regarding whether the Company is required by a contract it entered into in 2005 to purchase a property in Maryland. After entering into the contract, the Company later renegotiated the purchase price during the downturn, reducing it from $200 million to $134 million, $20 million of which has been paid and subsequently written off, leaving a balance of $114 million. In January 2015, the District Court rendered a decision ordering the Company to purchase the property for the $114 million balance of the contract price, to pay interest at the rate of 12% per annum from May 27, 2008, and to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes and attorneys’ fees. The Company believed the decision was contrary to applicable law and appealed the decision.

On March 23, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held oral argument in the appeal. Following oral argument, the Company concluded that it was appropriate to establish an accrual of $140 million for the litigation. The accrual represented the high end of the range of expected liability associated with the litigation, and did not include the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the property. On April 12, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued a decision upholding the lower court’s decision. The Company subsequently purchased the property for $114 million, which approximates the Company's estimate of the fair value of the property, and paid approximately $124 million in interest and other closing costs. The Company previously accrued for the amount we expect to pay as reimbursement for attorney’s fees.


(18)	New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 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 will require 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. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date; therefore, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The Company has the option to apply the provisions of ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is continuing to evaluate the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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), and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients 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 will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company is continuing to evaluate the method and impact the adoption of these ASUs and ASU 2014-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"). ASU 2015-02 amends the consolidation requirements and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required. ASU 2015-02 requires management to reevaluate all legal entities under a revised consolidation model specifically (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnership and similar legal entities are VIEs, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and (iv) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. ASU 2015-02 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ("ASU 2015-16"). ASU 2015-16 requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement 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 will 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 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments- Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting ("ASU 2016-07"). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-09 but the Company does not expect it to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting across all industries by clarifying certain existing principles in ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, including providing additional guidance on how and what an entity should consider in determining the classification of certain cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 will modify the Company's current disclosures and reclassifications within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows but is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 clarifies certain existing principles in ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, including providing additional guidance related to transfers between cash and restricted cash and how entities present, in their statement of cash flows, the cash receipts and cash payments that directly affect the restricted cash accounts. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 will modify the Company's current disclosures and reclassifications within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows but is not expected to have a material effect 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 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted for transactions, including acquisitions or dispositions, which occurred before the issuance date or effective date of the standard if the transactions were not reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 its condensed consolidated financial statements.


(19)	Supplemental Financial Information

The indentures governing the Company’s 4.75% senior notes due 2017, 6.95% senior notes due 2018, 4.125% senior notes due 2018, 4.500% senior notes due 2019, 4.50% senior notes due 2019, 4.750% senior notes due 2021, 6.875% senior notes due 2021, 4.125% senior notes due 2022, 4.750% senior notes due 2022, 4.875% senior notes due 2023, 4.50% senior notes due 2024 and 4.750% senior notes due 2025 require that, if any of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries, other than its finance company subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries, directly or indirectly guarantee at least $75 million principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation, those subsidiaries must also guarantee Lennar Corporation’s obligations with regard to its senior notes. The entities referred to as "guarantors" in the following tables are subsidiaries that are not finance company subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries and were guaranteeing the senior notes because at May 31, 2017 they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, disclosed in Note 12. In addition, effective February 10, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of WCI, the Company agreed to become a co-issuer of the 6.875% senior notes due 2021 that were issued by WCI and guaranteed by several of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Because WCI and those subsidiaries are in effect guarantors of the Company’s obligations as a co-issuer of the 6.875% senior notes due 2021, most of those subsidiaries must also guarantee the Company’s obligations with regard to its senior notes. As such, WCI and its subsidiaries are included in the subsidiaries that are referred to as “Guarantor Subsidiaries” in the following tables. The separate assets and liabilities of WCI and its subsidiaries are set forth in Note 2. 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 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.

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, 2016.

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 formed based upon general observations, anecdotal evidence and industry experience, but that are not supported by specific investigation or analysis. These statements concern expectations, beliefs, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include statements regarding: our belief that the housing market seems to continue to be giving way to a more definitive reversion to normal, and our belief regarding the drivers behind this; our expectation that we will experience increased pricing power as a result of the drivers of the housing recovery; our expectation that demand will continue to build and come to the market over the next few years and that it should drive increased production; our belief that first-time home buyers will continue to come to the housing market, and the drivers behind this; our expectation that we will be able to continue the pivot of our land strategy towards shorter-term land acquisitions and that we will be able to maintain a 7% to 10% growth rate for the company while we enhance our operating platform by reducing SG&A expenses; our expectation that our 2017 growth rate should be on the higher side or a little bit over our growth goal for the year; our expectation that we will continue to invest in various technologies to significantly improve our operating model; our expectation that in the second half of 2017, our principal focus in our homebuilding operations will continue to be on generating strong operating margins on the homes we sell, and our belief regarding the drivers of such margins; our expectation that we will continue to see somewhat lower gross margins in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016; our expectation that we will continue to identify and invest in unique and enticing land opportunities that we expect will drive our future growth and profitability, including ramping up our first-time homebuyer land positions; our expectation that the Company’s main driver of earnings will continue to be our homebuilding and financial services operations, and our expectation that we are currently positioned to deliver between 29,500 and 30,000 homes in fiscal 2017; our intention that we will move back over time to being a pure play homebuilding company; our expectation regarding variability in our quarterly results; our expectations regarding the renewal or replacement of our warehouse facilities; our belief regarding draws upon our bonds or letters of credit, and our belief regarding the impact to the Company if there were such a draw; our belief that our operating revenues and borrowing resources will provide for our current and long-term capital requirements at our anticipated levels of activity; our belief regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved; and our estimates regarding certain tax and accounting matters, including our expectations regarding the result of anticipated settlements with various taxing authorities.

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 those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The most important factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals, and cause the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements and the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: increases in operating costs, including costs related to labor, construction materials, real estate taxes, and insurance, and our inability to manage our cost structure, both in our Homebuilding and Lennar Multifamily businesses; unfavorable outcomes in legal proceedings that substantially exceed our expectations; the possibility that we will incur nonrecurring costs that may not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, but may have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements for a particular reporting period; our inability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities at anticipated prices; our inability to maximize returns on the assets that we acquired in the WCI Communities, Inc. ("WCI") acquisition; a slowdown in the recovery of real estate markets across the nation, or any downturn in such markets; changes in general economic and financial conditions, and demographic trends, in the U.S. leading to decreased demand for our services and homes, lower profit margins and reduced access to credit; decreased demand for our Lennar Multifamily rental properties, and our inability to successfully sell our rental properties; the inability of our Lennar Financial Services segment to maintain or increase its capture rate and benefit from Lennar home deliveries; our inability to successfully execute our strategies, including strategies related to the pivot of our land strategy towards shorter-term land acquisitions, the move to a pure play homebuilding company and reinvigorating technologies in our business; increased competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets, including mortgage lending standards, the availability of mortgage financing and mortgage foreclosure rates; changes in interest and unemployment rates, and inflation; a decline in the value of the land and home inventories we maintain or possible future write-downs of the carrying value of our real estate assets; our inability to successfully develop multifamily assets in the Multifamily Venture; our inability to maintain anticipated pricing levels and our inability to predict the effect of interest rates on demand; the ability and willingness of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; our inability to

successfully and timely obtain land-use entitlements and construction financing, and address issues that arise in connection with the use and development of our land; natural disasters and other unforeseen damage for which our insurance may not provide adequate coverage; our inability to successfully grow our ancillary businesses; the inability of Rialto to sell mortgages it originates into securitizations on favorable terms; potential liability under environmental or construction laws, or other laws or regulations affecting our business; regulatory changes that adversely affect the profitability of our businesses; our inability to comply with the terms of our debt instruments, our inability to refinance our debt on terms that are acceptable to us; and our inability to successfully estimate the impact of certain regulatory, accounting and tax matters, including whether we will continue to benefit from the energy efficient home and energy tax credits.

Please see our Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2016 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.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other portions of this Report contain statements of opinion or belief 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 statistical 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 that are necessarily shared by all who are involved in those industries or markets.

Outlook

We believe that the slow and steady improvement in the homebuilding market that we have seen for the entirety of this recovery seems to continue to be giving way to a more definitive reversion to normal supported by renewed optimism, wage and job growth, and consumer confidence. The recovery is also being sustained by stronger general economic conditions, favorable interest rates and low unemployment levels. We continue to feel that limited supply and production deficits from the past years are now intersecting with land and labor shortages and we started to see some pricing power as we moved through the spring selling season that was offset however by construction costs increases. We expect that demand will continue to build and come to the market over the next few years and that it should drive increased production as the deficit in the housing stock ultimately needs to be replenished. Additionally, the economic realities of a constrained supply of housing options and the economic realities of higher rental rates are beginning to have an impact on decision making for the first-time home buyer as millennials are continuing to come to the housing market. Our core homebuilding strategy continues to include a pivot of our land strategy towards shorter-term land acquisitions and to maintain a 7% to 10% growth rate for the company while we enhance our operating platform by reducing SG&A expenses. Given our acquisition of WCI, our 2017 growth rate should be on the higher side or a little bit over our growth goal for the year.

We intend to move back to being a pure play homebuilder over time. In order to accomplish this with respect to our other lines of business, such as Rialto and Multifamily, we may also consider transactions such as restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs or public offerings.

Our core homebuilding business continued to produce solid operating results in the second quarter of 2017 as our gross margin and operating margin from home sales were 21.5% and 12.1%, respectively. Our second quarter new orders and home deliveries increased 12% and 15% year-over-year, to 8,898 homes and 7,710 homes, respectively. Even with 20 basis points of WCI transaction-related expenses, our SG&A as a percentage of revenues from home sales of 9.3% matched the lowest second quarter SG&A percentage in our history, primarily due to improved operating leverage and our continued focus on investing in new technologies. We continue to use various technology initiatives to significantly improve our operating model, and fueled by our digital marketing efforts, our dynamic pricing tool and other technology initiatives as well, we continue to focus on overall operational efficiency driving our SG&A as a percentage of revenues from home sales to historic lows.

Complementing our homebuilding segment, we had strong performances from our other business segments during the second quarter of 2017. Our Lennar Financial Services segment reported earnings of $43.7 million in the second quarter of 2017, consistent with the prior year, despite a significant decrease in refinance transactions because of higher interest rates. The decrease was primarily offset by higher profit per transaction in the segment's title operations.

During the second quarter of 2017, our Multifamily segment’s earnings were $6.5 million primarily due to the sale of one completed rental property by a joint venture. With its geographically diversified pipeline of multifamily products and increased activity in our Lennar Multifamily Venture, this segment continues to grow while capitalizing on future development opportunities.

Our Rialto segment had $6.2 million of earnings during the second quarter of 2017, net of noncontrolling interests. During the second quarter, our Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") business continued its consistent program of producing strong results and Rialto's investment management platform also performed well.

In the second half of 2017, our principal focus in our homebuilding operations will continue to be on generating strong operating margins on the homes we sell by delivering homes from what we believe are favorable land positions and by continuing to invest in technologies to drive efficiencies. We expect to continue to see somewhat lower gross margins in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 due to cost increases outpacing sales price increases and competitive pressures. Consistent with our soft-pivot land strategy, we plan to continue to identify and invest in shorter-term land opportunities that we expect will drive our future growth and profitability, including ramping up our first-time homebuyer land positions. We expect that our Company’s main driver of earnings will continue to be our homebuilding and financial services operations as we believe we are currently positioned to deliver between 29,500 and 30,000 homes in fiscal 2017.

(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 six months ended May 31, 2017 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 fiscal quarter and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, periods of economic downturn in the industry, such as we experienced several years ago, can alter seasonal patterns.

Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were $213.6 million, or $0.91 per diluted share ($0.91 per basic share), in the second quarter of 2017, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $218.5 million, or $0.95 per diluted share ($1.01 per basic share), in the second quarter of 2016. Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were $251.7 million, or $1.07 per diluted share ($1.07 per basic share), in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $362.5 million, or $1.58 per diluted share ($1.69 per basic share), in the six months ended May 31, 2016.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2017 versus Three Months Ended May 31, 2016

As previously announced on February 10, 2017, we completed our acquisition of WCI. Prior year information does not include WCI data for the three months ended May 31, 2016.

Revenues from home sales increased 18% in the second quarter of 2017 to $2.9 billion from $2.4 billion in the second quarter of 2016. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 15% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 3% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 7,687 homes in the second quarter of 2017 from 6,711 homes in the second quarter of 2016. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of our Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other. The increase in home deliveries was primarily driven by an increase in active communities over the last year. The average sales price of homes delivered was $374,000 in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $362,000 in the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to product mix (selling at different price points) and increased pricing in certain of our markets due to favorable market conditions. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $22,700 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2017, or 5.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $21,800 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2016, or 5.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $22,700 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2017, or 5.9% as a percentage of home sales revenue.

Gross margins on home sales were $616.9 million, or 21.5%, in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $561.5 million, or 23.1%, in the second quarter of 2016. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to an increase in construction and land costs per home.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $268.4 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $224.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 9.3% in the second quarter of 2017, consistent with the second quarter of 2016. WCI transaction-related expenses had a negative 20 basis point impact on selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales in the second quarter of 2017.

Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $21.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. In the second quarter of 2017, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of net operating losses from our unconsolidated entities. The operating losses from our unconsolidated entities were primarily driven by general and administrative expenses, as there were no significant home and land sale transactions during the second quarter of 2017. In the second quarter of 2016, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination. This was partially offset by $6.7 million of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of homesites to third parties.

Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, was $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2016. Other income, net, in the second quarter of 2016 was primarily related to a profit participation received by one of Lennar Homebuilding's consolidated joint ventures.

Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $71.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 ($69.9 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.7 million in costs of land sold and $1.3 million in other income, net), compared to $63.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 ($62.1 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.6 million in costs of land sold and $1.2 million in other income, net). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in home deliveries.

Operating earnings for our Lennar Financial Services segment were $43.7 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $44.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. Operating earnings were impacted by a significant decrease in refinance transactions, offset by higher profit per transaction in the segment's title operations.

Operating earnings for our Rialto segment were $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 (which included a $6.5 million operating loss and an add back of $12.6 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating loss in the second quarter of 2016 was $13.8 million (which included an $18.1 million operating loss and an add back of $4.3 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The increase in operating earnings is primarily due to an increase in incentive income related to carried interest distributions from the Rialto real estate funds, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses and real estate owned impairments. In addition, the second quarter of 2016 included a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to a hospital, which was acquired through the resolution of one of Rialto's loans from a 2010 portfolio.

Operating earnings for our Lennar Multifamily segment were $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to the segment's $11.4 million share of a gain as a result of the sale of an operating property by one of Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the second quarter of 2016, our Lennar Multifamily segment had operating earnings of $14.9 million primarily due to the segment's $15.4 million share of a gain as a result of the sale of an operating property by one of its unconsolidated entities and a gain of $5.2 million on a third-party land sale.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $66.8 million, or 2.0% as a percentage of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $55.8 million, or 2.0% as a percentage of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2016.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were ($12.9) million and $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in the second quarter of 2016 were primarily attributable to earnings related to Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures, partially offset by a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC.

In the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, we had a tax provision of $108.9 million and $103.8 million, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were 33.76% and 32.21% in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for both the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 included tax benefits related to settlements with the IRS, domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expense.

Six Months Ended May 31, 2017 versus Six Months Ended May 31, 2016

As previously announced on February 10, 2017, we completed our acquisition of WCI. The results of operations include activity related to WCI from February 10, 2017 to May 31, 2017. Prior year information does not include WCI data for the six months ended May 31, 2016.

Revenues from home sales increased 16% in the six months ended May 31, 2017 to $4.9 billion from $4.2 billion in the six months ended May 31, 2016. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 14% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 2% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 13,120 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2017 from 11,517 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2016. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of our Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other. The increase in home deliveries was primarily driven by an increase in active communities over the last year. The average sales price of homes delivered was $370,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $363,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2016, primarily due to product mix and increased pricing in certain of our markets due to favorable market conditions. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $22,700 per home delivered in the six months ended May 31, 2017, or 5.8% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $21,700 per home delivered in the six months ended May 31, 2016, or 5.6% as a percentage of home sales revenue.

Gross margins on home sales were $1.0 billion, or 21.3%, in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $960.5 million, or 23.0%, in the six months ended May 31, 2016. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to the six months ended May 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in construction and land costs per home. Gross profits on land sales were $3.7 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $11.0 million in the six months ended May 31, 2016.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $472.4 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $414.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2016. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 9.7% in the six months ended May 31, 2017, from 9.9% in the six months ended May 31, 2016, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries. In addition, WCI transaction-related expenses had a negative 30 basis point impact on selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales in the six months ended May 31, 2017.

Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $33.0 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $6.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2016. In the six months ended May 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was attributable to our share of net operating losses from our unconsolidated entities, which was primarily driven by general and administrative expenses, as there were no significant home and land sale transactions during the six months ended May 31, 2017. In the six months ended May 31, 2016, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination. This was partially offset by $12.7 million of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of homesites to third parties.

Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, was $9.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $13.1 million in the six months ended May 31, 2016. In the six months ended May 31, 2016, other income, net, included a profit participation received by one of Lennar Homebuilding's consolidated joint ventures.

Lennar Homebuilding loss due to litigation of $140 million was related to an accrual recorded in the six months ended May 31, 2017, which represented the high end of the range of expected liability associated with litigation regarding a contract we entered into in 2005 to purchase property in Maryland (see Note 17 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $124.3 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017 ($118.6 million was included in costs of homes sold, $3.1 million in costs of land sold and $2.5 million in other income, net), compared to $109.1 million in the six months ended May 31, 2016 ($105.4 million was included in costs of homes sold, $1.3 million in costs of land sold and $2.4 million in other income, net). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in home deliveries.

Operating earnings for our Lennar Financial Services segment were $64.4 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $59.0 million in the six months ended May 31, 2016. The increase in profitability was primarily due to increased profitability in the segment's title operations, partially offset by a decrease in refinance transactions.

Operating earnings for our Rialto segment were $18.2 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017 (which included a $7.3 million operating loss and an add back of $25.5 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating loss for the six months ended May 31, 2016 was $11.8 million (which included a $16.5 million operating loss and an add back of $4.6 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The increase in operating earnings is primarily related to an increase in RMF earnings as a result of higher securitization margins as well as an increase in incentive income related to carried interest distributions from the Rialto real estate funds. This was partially offset by an increase in loan impairments, real estate owned impairments and general and administrative expenses. In addition, the six months ended May 31, 2016 included a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to the hospital.

Operating earnings for our Lennar Multifamily segment were $25.7 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017, primarily due to the segment's $37.4 million share of gains as a result of the sale of three operating properties by Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the six months ended May 31, 2016, our Lennar Multifamily segment had operating earnings of $27.1 million primarily due to the segment's $35.8 million share of gains as a result of the sale of two operating properties by its unconsolidated entities and a gain of $5.2 million on a third-party land sale.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $127.5 million, or 2.3% as a percentage of total revenues, in the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $103.5 million, or 2.2% as a percentage of total revenues, in the six months ended May 31, 2016.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were ($21.3) million and $6.9 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the six months ended May 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC, partially offset by net earnings related to the Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in the six months ended May 31, 2016 were primarily attributable to earnings related to Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures, partially offset by a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC.

In the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, we had a tax provision of $128.9 million and $160.0 million, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were 33.86% and 30.62% in the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for both the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 included tax benefits for settlements with the IRS, the domestic production activities deduction, and energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expense.

Homebuilding Segments

We have aggregated our homebuilding activities into three reportable segments, which we refer to as Homebuilding East, Homebuilding Central, and Homebuilding West, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. Information about homebuilding activities in states that do not have economic characteristics that are similar to those in other states in the same geographic area is grouped under "Homebuilding Other," which is not a reportable segment. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to homebuilding segments are to those three reportable segments.

As a result of a change in our reportable segments during fiscal year 2016, we restated certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2017 presentation. This change had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

At May 31, 2017, our reportable homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other consisted of homebuilding divisions located in:

East: Florida⁽¹⁾, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia

Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas

West: California and Nevada

Other: Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington

(1)Florida includes the financial information related to WCI from the date of acquisition (February 10, 2017) to May 31, 2017.

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. 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:

Three Months Ended May 31, 2017 versus Three Months Ended May 31, 2016

Homebuilding East: Revenues from home sales increased for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in Florida, partially offset by a decrease in the number of home deliveries in Georgia. Revenues from home sales also increased as a result of the increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Florida and the Carolinas. The increase in the number of deliveries and average sales price of homes delivered in Florida was primarily driven by an increase in higher-priced active communities over the last year related to the WCI acquisition. The decrease in the number of deliveries in Georgia was primarily due to a decrease in deliveries per active communities as a result of the timing of opening and closing of communities. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in the Carolinas is primarily due to an increase in home deliveries in higher-priced communities. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the second quarter of 2017 decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in direct construction costs per home, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered.

Homebuilding Central: Revenues from home sales increased for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment, except Colorado, and an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in the segment. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The decrease in the number of deliveries in Colorado was primarily due to the timing of when the homes were closed. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to favorable market conditions and a change in product mix driven by an increase in home deliveries in higher-priced communities in the second quarter of 2017 as some of our lower-priced communities closed-out. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the second quarter of 2017 decreased slightly compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales.

Homebuilding West: Revenues from home sales increased for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in California and an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Nevada. The increase of the number of home deliveries in California is primarily due to higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Nevada was primarily due to a change in product mix and because we have been able to increase the sales prices in certain of our communities due to favorable market conditions. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the second quarter of 2017 decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in direct construction and land costs per home.

Homebuilding Other: Revenues from home sales increased for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to an increase the number of home deliveries in all the states in Homebuilding Other. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the second quarter of 2017 increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to a change in product mix as we opened lower-priced communities that resulted in a decrease in direct construction and land costs per home and a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales.

Six Months Ended May 31, 2017 versus Six Months Ended May 31, 2016

Homebuilding East: Revenues from home sales increased for the six months ended May 31, 2017 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment, except Georgia and Virginia. Revenues from home sales also increased as a result of the increase in an average sales price of homes delivered in Florida and the Carolinas. The increase in the number of deliveries and average sales price of homes delivered in Florida was primarily driven by an increase in higher-priced active communities over the last year related to the WCI acquisition. The decrease in the number of deliveries in Georgia was primarily due to a decrease in deliveries per active communities as a result of the timing of opening and closing of communities. The decrease in the number of deliveries in Virginia was primarily due to a decrease in the number of active communities compared to the same period last year. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in the Carolinas is primarily due to an increase in home deliveries in higher-priced communities.

The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to favorable market conditions and a change in product mix driven by an increase in home deliveries in higher-priced communities in the six months ended May 31, 2017 as some of our lower-priced communities closed-out. Gross

margin percentage on home sales for the six months ended May 31, 2017 increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered, partially offset by an increase in land costs per home.

Homebuilding West: Revenues from home sales increased for the six months ended May 31, 2017 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Nevada as well as an increase in the number of home deliveries in California. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Nevada was primarily due to a change in product mix and because we have been able to increase the sales prices in certain of our communities due to favorable market conditions. The increase of the number of home deliveries in California is primarily due to higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased in addition to an increase in the number of active communities. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the six months ended May 31, 2017 decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in direct construction and land costs per home.

Homebuilding Other: Revenues from home sales increased for the six months ended May 31, 2017 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states of Homebuilding Other, partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in Homebuilding Other, except Washington where average sales price increased. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by higher demand as the number of deliveries per active community increased. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily driven by a change in product mix due to closing out the remaining homes in higher-priced communities and opening lower-priced communities during the six months ended May 31, 2017. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Washington was primarily due to favorable market conditions. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the six months ended May 31, 2017 increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to a change in product mix as we opened lower-priced communities that resulted in a decrease in direct construction and land costs per home, partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered. In addition, there was a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales.

Lennar Financial Services Segment

Our Lennar Financial Services reportable segment provides mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of our homes and others. Our Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the 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.

As part of the WCI acquisition in February 2017, Lennar Financial Services acquired a real estate brokerage business under the Berkshire Hathaway Home Services brand. This business operates only in Florida and should not have a significant impact on the segment.

Subsequent to May 31, 2017, our mortgage financing services operations changed its name from Universal American Mortgage Company, LLC to Eagle Home Mortgage, LLC.

The following table sets forth selected financial and operational information related to our Lennar Financial Services segment:

Rialto Segment

Our Rialto reportable segment is a commercial real estate investment, investment management, and finance company focused on raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and selling into securitizations commercial mortgage loans as well as investing our own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto's primary

focus is to manage third-party capital and to originate and sell into securitizations commercial mortgage loans. Rialto has continued the workout and/or oversight of billions of dollars of real estate assets across the United States, including commercial and residential real estate loans and properties as well as mortgage backed securities with the objective of generating superior, risk-adjusted returns. To date, many of the investment and management opportunities have arisen from the dislocation in the United States real estate markets and the restructuring and recapitalization of those markets.

Rialto's operating loss was as follows:

Rialto Mortgage Finance

RMF originates and sells into securitizations five, seven and ten year commercial first mortgage loans, generally with principal amounts between $2 million and $75 million, which are secured by income producing properties. This business has become a significant contributor to Rialto's revenues.

During the six months ended May 31, 2017, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $837.7 million, of which $823.7 million were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $14.1 million as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $870.4 million of loans into five separate securitizations. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $670.3 million, of which $654.0 million were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $16.3 million as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $766.4 million of loans into five separate securitizations.

FDIC Portfolios

In 2010, Rialto acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies ("LLCs") in partnership with the FDIC ("FDIC Portfolios"). The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. In February 2017, the FDIC exercised its “clean-up call rights” under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement. As a result, Rialto has until July 10, 2017 to liquidate and sell the assets in the FDIC Portfolios. After July 10, 2017, the FDIC can, at its discretion, sell any remaining assets. At May 31, 2017, the consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $117.5 million, which primarily included $80.3 million of real estate owned, net and $23.8 million of loans held-for-sale.

Rialto is the sponsor of and an investor in private equity vehicles that invest in and manage real estate related assets and other related investments. This includes:

Lennar Multifamily Segment

We have been actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development, construction and property management of multifamily rental properties. Our Lennar Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.

As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, our balance sheet had $653.2 million and $526.1 million, respectively, of assets related to our Lennar Multifamily segment, which included investments in unconsolidated entities of $377.3 million and $318.6 million, respectively. Our net investment in the Lennar Multifamily segment as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016 was $530.1 million and $408.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, our Lennar Multifamily segment sold one and three operating properties, respectively, through its unconsolidated entities resulting in the segment's $11.4 million and $37.4 million share of gains, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, our Lennar Multifamily segment sold one and two operating properties, respectively, through its unconsolidated entities resulting in the segment's $15.4 million and $35.8 million share of gains, respectively.

Our Lennar Multifamily segment had equity investments in 29 and 28 unconsolidated entities (including the Lennar Multifamily Venture, the "Venture") as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. As of May 31, 2017, our Lennar Multifamily segment had interests in 57 communities with development costs of $5.4 billion, of which six communities were completed and operating, 17 communities were partially completed and leasing, 23 communities were under construction and the remaining communities were either owned or under contract. As of May 31, 2017, our Lennar Multifamily segment also had a pipeline of potential future projects totaling $2.7 billion in development costs across a number of states that will be developed primarily by future unconsolidated entities.

(2) Financial Condition and Capital Resources

At May 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents related to our homebuilding, financial services, Rialto and multifamily operations of $984.0 million, compared to $1.3 billion at November 30, 2016 and $815.5 million at May 31, 2016.

We finance all of our activities, including homebuilding, financial services, Rialto, multifamily and general operating needs, primarily with cash generated from our operations, debt issuances and cash borrowed under our warehouse lines of credit and our credit facility.

Operating Cash Flow Activities

During the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, cash used in operating activities totaled $159.8 million and $175.4 million, respectively. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, cash used in operating activities was impacted primarily by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases, land development and construction costs, partially offset by our net earnings and a decrease in loans held-for-sale of which $45.2 million related to RMF and $119.0 million related to Lennar Financial Services. For the six months ended May 31, 2017, distributions of earnings from unconsolidated entities were (1) $35.4 million from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, (2) $8.1 million from Rialto unconsolidated entities, and (3) $0.9 million from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.

During the six months ended May 31, 2016, cash used in operating activities was impacted by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases, land development and construction costs and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities, partially offset by our net earnings, a decrease in receivables and a net decrease in loans held-for-sale primarily related to RMF. For the six months ended May 31, 2016, distributions of earnings from unconsolidated entities were (1) $34.8 million from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, (2) $7.8 million from Rialto unconsolidated entities, and (3) $1.1 million from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities

Investing Cash Flow Activities

During the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, cash used in investing activities totaled $873.5 million and $149.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, our cash used in investing activities was primarily due to our$611.1 million acquisition of WCI, net of cash acquired. In addition, we had cash contributions of (1) $236.6 million to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, including $100 million to FivePoint, primarily for working capital and paydowns of joint venture debt, (2) $55.7 million to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital, and (3) $23.5 million to Rialto unconsolidated entities comprised primarily of $18.1 million contributed to Rialto Real Estate Fund III ("Fund III") and $5.3 million contributed to Rialto Credit Partnership Fund, LP ("RCP Fund"). Cash used in investing activities was also impacted by purchases of CMBS bonds by our Rialto segment. This was partially offset by the receipt of $55.5 million of proceeds from the sales of REO and by distributions of capital of (1) $54.7 million from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, of which $25.8 million was distributed by the Venture; (2) $23.2 million from Rialto unconsolidated entities comprised of $14.5 million distributed by Rialto Real Estate Fund II, LP (" Fund II"), $2.4 million distributed by Fund III, $2.5 million distributed by Rialto Capital CMBS Funds (the "CMBS Funds") and $3.6 million distributed by Mezzanine Partners Fund, LP (the "Mezzanine Fund") and $0.2 million distributed by RCP Fund; and (3) $18.6 million from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.

During the six months ended May 31, 2016, our cash used in investing activities was primarily impacted by cash contributions of (1) $94.9 million to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital, (2) $91.2 million to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital, and (3) $24.1 million contributed to Rialto's CMBS Funds. In addition, cash used in investing activities was impacted by purchases of commercial mortgage backed bonds and originations of loans receivable by our Rialto segment. This was partially offset by the receipt of $43.4 million of proceeds from the sales of REO and by distributions of capital of (1) $66.3 million from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, of which $43.6 million was distributed by the Venture; (2) $25.7 million from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, and(3) $11.0 million from Rialto unconsolidated entities comprised of $5.5 million distributed by Mezzanine Fund, $4.3 million distributed by Fund II and $1.2 million distributed by the CMBS Funds.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

During the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, our cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $687.7 million and ($18.0) million, respectively. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, our cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributed to the receipt of proceeds related to the (1) issuance of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2022 (the "4.125% Senior Notes"), (2) issuance of $650 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2024 (the "4.50% Senior Notes"), (3) $65.1 million of proceeds from other borrowings, and (4) $35.5 million of proceeds from issuance of Rialto notes payable. This was partially offset by (1) the retirement of $400 million aggregate principal amount of our 12.25% convertible senior notes due 2017 (the "12.25% Senior Notes"), (2) $144.3 million of net repayments under our warehouse facilities which was comprised of $284.6 million of net repayments under our Lennar Financial Services warehouse repurchase facilities, partially offset by $140.3 million of net borrowings under our Rialto

warehouse facilities, (3) $47.9 million of payments related to noncontrolling interests, and (4) $30.6 million of principal payments on other borrowings.

During the six months ended May 31, 2016, our cash used in financing activities was primarily impacted by $230.2 million of net repayments under our Lennar Financial Services' and Rialto's warehouse repurchase facilities, $233.9 million of exchanges and conversions of our 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2020, the redemption of $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.50% senior notes due April 2016, $103.2 million of principal payments on other borrowings and $73.2 million of payments related to noncontrolling interests. This cash used in financing activities was partially offset by the receipt of proceeds of the sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior notes due 2021 and $375 million of net borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility").

Debt to total capital ratios are financial measures commonly used in the homebuilding industry and are presented to assist in understanding the leverage of our Lennar Homebuilding operations. Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital and net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital are calculated as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	May 31, 2017			November 30, 2016		May 31, 2016

Net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net Lennar Homebuilding debt (Lennar Homebuilding debt less Lennar Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net Lennar Homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). We believe the ratio of net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in our Lennar Homebuilding operations. However, because net Lennar 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 May 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital was lower compared to May 31, 2016, primarily as a result of an increase in stockholders' equity primarily related to our net earnings, partially offset by a net increase in Lennar Homebuilding debt due to the issuance of senior notes and debt assumed related to the WCI acquisition.

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 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 pursuing other financing alternatives. In connection with some of our more recently formed businesses, such as Rialto and Lennar Multifamily, we may also consider other types of transactions such as restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings as we intend to move back to being a pure play homebuilding company over time. If any of these transactions are implemented, they could materially impact the amount and composition of our indebtedness outstanding, increase or decrease our interest expense, dilute our existing stockholders and/or affect the net book value of our assets. At May 31, 2017, we had no agreements or understandings regarding any significant transactions.

Our Lennar Homebuilding average debt outstanding was $5.6 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 5.1% for the six months ended May 31, 2017, compared to $5.3 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 5.0% for the six months ended May 31, 2016. Interest incurred related to Lennar Homebuilding debt for the six months ended May 31, 2017 was $148.9 million, compared to $143.4 million for the six months ended May 31, 2016.

In May 2017, we amended our Credit Facility to increase the maximum borrowings from $1.8 billion to $2.0 billion and extend the maturity on $1.4 billion of the Credit Facility from June 2020 to June 2022, with $160 million maturing in June 2018 and the remaining $50 million maturing in June 2020. As of May 31, 2017, the Credit Facility included a $403 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments. 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. The credit agreement also provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. We may from time to time, borrow and repay amounts under our Credit Facility. Consequently, the amount outstanding under our Credit Facility at the end of a period may not be reflective of

the total amounts outstanding during the period. We believe that we were in compliance with our debt covenants at May 31, 2017. In addition, we had $330 million of letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.

Under the amended Credit Facility agreement executed in May 2017 (the "Credit Agreement"), as of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are required to maintain minimum consolidated tangible net worth of approximately $4.2 billion plus the sum of 50% of the cumulative consolidated net income from February 28, 2017, if positive, and 50% of the net cash proceeds from any equity offerings from and after February 28, 2017, minus the lesser of 50% of the amount paid after May 18, 2017 to repurchase common stock and $100 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.

The following summarizes our required debt covenants and our actual levels or ratios with respect to those covenants as calculated per the Credit Agreement as of May 31, 2017:



(Dollars in thousands)	Covenant Level			Level Achieved as of May 31, 2017
Minimum net worth test	$	4,251,969		5,796,137
Maximum leverage ratio	65.0		%	44.2	%
Liquidity test (1)	1.00			2.76


(1)	We are only 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 of equal to or greater than 1.50:1.00 for the last twelve months then ended. Although we are in compliance with our debt covenants for both calculations, we have only disclosed our liquidity test.

The terms minimum net worth test, maximum leverage ratio, liquidity test and interest coverage ratio used in the Credit Agreement are specifically calculated per the Credit Agreement and differ in specified ways from comparable GAAP or common usage terms.

Our performance letters of credit outstanding were $318.7 million and $270.8 million at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. Our financial letters of credit outstanding were $144.3 million and $210.3 million at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee the performance of certain development and construction activities. Financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at May 31, 2017, we had outstanding surety bonds of $1.2 billion including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of our joint ventures) and financial surety bonds.

In January 2017, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes at a price of 100%. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were $595.2 million. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the 4.125% Senior Notes to fund a portion of the cash consideration for our acquisition of WCI and to pay for costs and expenses related to this acquisition as well as for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 4.125% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning July 15, 2017. The 4.125% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.

On February 10, 2017, we acquired WCI and became a co-borrower with regard to its 6.875% senior notes due 2021 (the"6.875% Senior Notes"). The 6.875% Senior Notes were recorded at fair value with a principal outstanding amount of $249.8 million and are callable at declining premiums until maturity.

In April 2017, we issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of the 4.50% Senior Notes at a price of 100%. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were $645.0 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sales of the 4.50% Senior Notes for the retirement of our 12.25% Senior Notes for 100% of their $400 million outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We intend to use the balance of the net proceeds together with cash on hand for general corporate purposes, which may include the redemption of our 6.875% Senior Notes. Interest on the 4.50% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning October 30, 2017. The 4.50% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.

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.

At May 31, 2017, our Lennar Financial Services segment warehouse facilities were as follows:



(In thousands)	Maximum Aggregate Commitment
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures June 2017 (1)	$	600,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures September 2017	300,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017 (2)	400,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures March 2018 (3)	150,000
Total	$	1,450,000


(1)	Subsequent to May 31, 2017, the warehouse repurchase facility maturity date was extended to June 2018.


(2)	Maximum aggregate commitment includes an uncommitted amount of $250 million.


(3)	Maximum aggregate commitment includes an uncommitted amount of $75 million.

Our Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its 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. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were $792.4 million and $1.1 billion at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $824.1 million and $1.1 billion, at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. Without the facilities, our Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities. Since our Lennar 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. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling mortgage loans held-for-sale and by collecting on receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for.

At May 31, 2017, Rialto warehouse facilities were as follows:



(In thousands)	Maximum Aggregate Commitment
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures October 2017	$	500,000
Warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017	200,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures January 2018	250,000
Total - Loan origination and securitization business (RMF)	$	950,000
Warehouse repurchase facility that matures August 2018 (two - one year extensions) (1)	100,000
Total	$	1,050,000


(1)	Rialto uses this warehouse repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans, which are reported as accrual loans within loans receivable, net. Borrowings under this facility were $43.3 million as of both May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016.

Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $320.3 million and $180.2 million as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, 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 and by collecting on receivables on loans sold, but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Rialto segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of Rialto's 7.00% senior notes due 2018 was $349.0 million and $348.7 million, respectively.

Changes in Capital Structure

On May 16, 2017, we paid cash dividends of $0.04 per share for both our Class A and Class B common stock to holders of record at the close of business on April 18, 2017, as declared by our Board of Directors on May 2, 2017. On June 28, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock, payable July 27, 2017 to holders of record at the close of business on July 13, 2017.

Based on our current financial condition and credit relationships, we believe that our operations and borrowing resources will provide for our current and long-term capital requirements at our anticipated levels of activity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Lennar Homebuilding: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At May 31, 2017, we had equity investments in 37 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which three had recourse debt, eight had non-recourse debt and 26 had no debt), compared to 38 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2016. 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 Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

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

For both the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of net operating losses from our unconsolidated entities. The operating losses from our unconsolidated entities were primarily driven by general and administrative expenses as there were no significant home and land sale transactions to offset those expenses during the three and six months ended May 31, 2017.

For both the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination. This was partially offset by $6.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively, of equity in earnings from one of our unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales to third parties of 253 and 471 homesites, respectively. For both the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, 312 homesites

were sold to Lennar by one of our unconsolidated entities for $92.0 million that resulted in $29.7 million of gross profit, of which our portion was deferred.

On May 2, 2016 (the "Closing Date"), we contributed, or obtained the right to contribute, our investment in three strategic joint ventures previously managed by FivePoint Communities in exchange for an investment in a FivePoint entity. The fair values of the assets contributed to this FivePoint entity are included within the unconsolidated entities summarized condensed balance sheet presented above. A portion of the assets of one of the three strategic joint ventures transferred to a new unconsolidated entity was retained by us and our venture partner. The transactions did not have a material impact to our financial position or cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2016. For the year ended November 30, 2016, we recorded $42.6 million of our share of combination costs and operational net losses in equity in loss from unconsolidated entities on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In May 2017, FivePoint completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). Concurrent with the IPO, we invested $100 million in FivePoint. As of May 31, 2017, we own approximately 40% of FivePoint and the carrying amount of our investment is $356.4 million.

As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, our recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $995.4 million and $811.7 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of both May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016 was $1.2 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.

The Lennar 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 Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments was calculated as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	May 31, 2017			November 30, 2016
Debt	$	783,339		888,664
Equity	3,899,478			3,765,336
Total capital	$	4,682,817		4,654,000
Debt to total capital of our unconsolidated entities	16.7		%	19.1	%

Our investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities by type of venture were as follows:



(In thousands)	May 31, 2017		November 30, 2016
Land development	$	967,057	787,138
Homebuilding	28,343		24,585
Total investments	$	995,400	811,723

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 Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.

In connection with loans to a Lennar 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 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 Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments, including Lennar's maximum recourse exposure, were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	May 31, 2017			November 30, 2016
Non-recourse bank debt and other debt (partner’s share of several recourse)	$	73,239		48,945
Non-recourse land seller debt and other debt (1)	1,997			323,995
Non-recourse debt with completion guarantees	305,420			147,100
Non-recourse debt without completion guarantees	327,877			320,372
Non-recourse debt to Lennar	708,533			840,412
Lennar's maximum recourse exposure (2)	80,468			52,438
Debt issuance costs	(5,662		)	(4,186	)
Total debt	$	783,339		888,664
Lennar’s maximum recourse exposure as a % of total JV debt	10		%	6	%


(1)	Non-recourse land seller debt and other debt as of November 30, 2016 included a $320 million non-recourse note related to a transaction between one of our unconsolidated entities and another unconsolidated joint venture, which was settled in December 2016.


(2)	As of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, our maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to repayment guarantees provided by us on three unconsolidated entities' debt and one unconsolidated entity's debt, respectively.

The recourse debt exposure in the previous table represents our maximum exposure to loss from guarantees 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.

In addition, in most instances in which we have guaranteed debt of a Lennar 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 Lennar 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 Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase our share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.

As of both May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the fair values of the repayment and completion guarantees were not material. We believe that as of May 31, 2017, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Lennar 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 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The following table summarizes the principal maturities of our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities ("JVs") debt as per current debt arrangements as of May 31, 2017 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.

As manager of real estate funds, Rialto is entitled to receive additional revenue through carried interests if the funds meet certain performance thresholds. Rialto also periodically receives advance distributions related to Rialto's carried interests in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to its carried interests in its real estate funds. These distributions are not subject to clawbacks but will reduce future carried interest payments to which Rialto becomes entitled from the applicable funds and have been recorded as revenues. The amounts presented in the table below include advance and carried interest distributions received as follows:

Lennar Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At May 31, 2017, Lennar Multifamily had equity investments in 29 unconsolidated entities that are engaged in multifamily residential developments (of which 17 had non-recourse debt and 12 had no debt), compared to 28 unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2016. 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. 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 Venture is a long-term multifamily development investment vehicle 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 comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. The Venture is currently seeded with 39 undeveloped multifamily assets that were previously purchased or under contract by the Lennar Multifamily segment totaling approximately 12,000 apartments with projected project costs of $4.1 billion as of May 31, 2017. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, $334.5 million in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed $76.0 million representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, we received no distributions as a return of capital from the Venture, except for distributions of capital related to land contributions. As of May 31, 2017, $1.3 billion of the $2.2 billion in equity commitments had been called, of which we had contributed $291.9 million representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for us of $212.1 million. As of May 31, 2017

and November 30, 2016, the carrying value of our investment in the Venture was $268.1 million and $198.2 million, respectively.

We regularly monitor the results of our 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 May 31, 2017.

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

(1)

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, our Lennar Multifamily segment sold one and three operating properties, respectively, through its unconsolidated entities resulting in the segment's $11.4 million and $37.4 million share of gains, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2016, our Lennar Multifamily segment sold one and two operating properties, respectively, through its unconsolidated entities resulting in the segment's $15.4 million and $35.8 million share of gains, respectively.


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

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 May 31, 2017 and 2016:



	Controlled Homesites
May 31, 2017	Optioned	JVs	Total	Owned Homesites	Total Homesites
East	15,678	482	16,160	62,658	78,818
Central	5,281	1,135	6,416	31,659	38,075

Other	1,679	—	1,679	6,330	8,009
Total homesites	24,955	6,131	31,086	136,009	167,095



	Controlled Homesites
May 31, 2016	Optioned	JVs	Total	Owned Homesites	Total Homesites
East	17,819	470	18,289	55,271	73,560
Central	6,904	1,135	8,039	31,320	39,359
West	2,383	4,466	6,849	37,531	44,380

Total homesites	28,678	6,071	34,749	130,784	165,533

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.

During the six months ended May 31, 2017, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $17.6 million with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2017. The increase was primarily related to the consolidation of an option agreement, partially offset by us exercising our option to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, we had a net reclass related to option deposits from land under development to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2017. 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 loss related to option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $91.1 million and $85.0 million at May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. Additionally, we had posted $41.1 million and $45.1 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, 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, 2016, except that:


•	In January 2017, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes.


•	In February 2017, we acquired WCI and became a co-borrower with regard to its 6.875% Senior Notes with a principal outstanding amount of $249.8 million and are callable at declining premiums until maturity.


•	In April 2017, we issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes.


•	In May 2017, we retired $400 million aggregate principal amount of 12.25% Senior Notes.


•	As of May 31, 2017, borrowings under Rialto's and Lennar Financial Services' warehouse repurchase facilities were $363.6 million and $792.4 million, respectively.

The following summarizes our contractual obligations with regard to our long-term debt and interest commitments as of May 31, 2017:

We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including option contracts) 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 May 31, 2017, we had access to 31,086 homesites through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At May 31, 2017, we had $91.1 million of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to certain of these homesites and had posted $41.1 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts.

At May 31, 2017, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $463.0 million (which included $41.1 million of letters of credit discussed 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 May 31, 2017, we had outstanding surety bonds of $1.2 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 May 31, 2017, there were approximately $575.4 million, or 48%, 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 Lennar Financial Services segment had a pipeline of loan applications in process of $2.7 billion at May 31, 2017. Loans in process for which interest rates were committed to the borrowers totaled approximately $754.8 million as of May 31, 2017. 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 Lennar 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 May 31, 2017, we had open commitments amounting to $1.2 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through August 2017 and open futures contracts in the amount of $892.0 million with settlement dates through March 2024.

(3) New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 18 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 six months ended May 31, 2017 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, 2016.

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.

In January 2017, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes.

In February 2017, we acquired WCI Communities, Inc. and became a co-borrower with regard to its 6.875% Senior Notes with a principal outstanding amount of $249.8 million.

In April 2017, we issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes.

In May 2017, we retired $400 million aggregate principal amount of 12.25% Senior Notes.

As of May 31, 2017, we had borrowings under Rialto's and Lennar Financial Services' warehouse repurchase facilities of $363.6 million and $792.4 million, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated in an evaluation by our management of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their participation in that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 31, 2017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or furnished under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our CEO and CFO also participated in an evaluation by our management of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2017. That evaluation did not identify any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are 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. We are also a party to various lawsuits involving purchases and sales of real property. These lawsuits include claims regarding representations and warranties made in connection with the transfer of properties and disputes regarding the obligation to purchase or sell properties.

We have been engaged in litigation since 2008 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (U.S. Home Corporation v. Settlers Crossing, LLC, et al., Civil Action No. DKC 08-1863) regarding whether we are required by a contract we entered into in 2005 to purchase a property in Maryland. After entering into the contract, we later renegotiated the purchase price during the downturn, reducing it from $200 million to $134 million, $20 million of which has been paid and subsequently written off, leaving a balance of $114 million. In January 2015, the District Court rendered a decision ordering us to purchase the property for the $114 million balance of the contract price, to pay interest at the rate of 12% per annum from May 27, 2008, and to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes and attorneys’ fees. We believed the decision was contrary to applicable law and appealed the decision.

On March 23, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held oral argument in the appeal. Following oral argument, we concluded that it was appropriate to establish an accrual of $140 million for the litigation. The accrual represented the high end of the range of expected liability associated with the litigation, and did not include our estimate of the fair value of the property. On April 12, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued a decision upholding the lower court’s decision. We subsequently purchased the property for $114 million, which approximates our estimate of the fair value of the property, and paid approximately $124 million in interest and other closing costs. We previously accrued for the amount we expect to pay as reimbursement for attorney’s fees.

In June 2016, we received Notices of Violation from the United States Environmental Protection Agency related to stormwater compliance at certain of our Tampa and Southwest Florida community sites. Subsequent to May 31, 2017, Lennar paid monetary sanctions related to stormwater compliance that were not material.
