Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
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, 2017. 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, 2018 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
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
(2)
Business Acquisitions
Acquisition of CalAtlantic Group, Inc.
On February 12, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of CalAtlantic Group, Inc. (“CalAtlantic”) through a transaction in which CalAtlantic was merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). CalAtlantic was a homebuilder which built homes across the homebuilding spectrum, from entry level to luxury, in 43 metropolitan statistical areas spanning 19 states. CalAtlantic also provided mortgage, title and escrow services. A primary reason for the acquisition was to increase local market concentration in order to generate synergies and efficiencies.
Based on an evaluation of the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, ("ASC 805"), Lennar Corporation was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The purchase price accounting reflected in the accompanying financial statements is provisional and is based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date pursuant to ASC 805). The measurement period remains open pending the completion of valuation procedures related to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The $3.3 billion provisional amount allocated to goodwill in Lennar Homebuilding and the provisional amount of $150 million allocated to goodwill in Lennar Financial Services represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and it is generally not deductible for income tax purposes. As of the merger date, goodwill consisted primarily of expected greater efficiencies and opportunities due to increased concentration of local market share, reduced general and administrative costs and reduced homebuilding costs resulting from the merger and cost savings as a result of additional homebuilding and non-homebuilding synergies. The assignment of goodwill by the Company's reporting segments has not been completed yet, however, a provisional amount of goodwill of approximately $150 million was allocated to Lennar Financial Services.
(3)
Other liabilities includes contingencies assumed at the Merger date, which includes warranty and legal reserves. Warranty 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. Warranty reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. Consistent with ASC 450, Contingencies, legal reserves are established when a loss is considered probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
(4)
Fair value of noncontrolling interests was measured using discounted cash flows of expected future contributions and distributions.

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, Lennar Homebuilding revenue included $2.1 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, of home sales revenues, and earnings (loss) before income taxes included $56.5 million and ($52.0) million, respectively, of a pre-tax earnings (loss) from CalAtlantic since the date of acquisition, which included acquisition and integration costs of $23.9 million and $128.1 million, respectively. These acquisition and integration costs were comprised mainly of severance expenses and transaction costs and were included within the acquisition and integration costs related to CalAtlantic line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2018.
The following presents summarized unaudited supplemental pro forma operating results as if CalAtlantic had been included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning December 1, 2016.

Net earnings for the three and six months ended May 31, 2018 include a pre-tax impact from acquisition and integration costs related to CalAtlantic of $23.9 million and $128.1 million, respectively. Additionally, net earnings for the three and six months ended May 31, 2018 include purchase accounting adjustments on CalAtlantic homes that were in backlog/construction in progress at the acquisition date that were delivered of $236.8 million and $291.9 million, respectively.
The supplemental pro forma operating results have been determined after adjusting the operating results of CalAtlantic to reflect additional amortization that would have been recorded assuming the fair value adjustment to intangible assets had been applied beginning December 1, 2016. Certain other adjustments, including those related to conforming accounting policies and adjusting acquired inventory to fair value, have not been reflected in the supplemental pro forma operating results due to the impracticability of estimating their impacts.
Acquisition of WCI Communities, Inc. in February 2017
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 proceeds from the issuance of 4.125% senior notes due 2022 (see Note 12).
Based on an evaluation of the provisions of ASC 805, Lennar Corporation was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes.

Intangible assets include non-compete agreements and a trade name. The amortization period for these intangible assets was 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 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 amounts were based on the relative fair value of each acquired reporting unit in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.
For the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding revenues included $182.8 million and $202.3 million, respectively, of home sales revenues from WCI and earnings before income taxes included $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.

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, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia
Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas
West: California and Nevada
Other: Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and Washington
Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title insurance, closing services and property and casualty insurance 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, property and casualty 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, due diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and real estate related securities as well as

10



providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto’s operating earnings (loss) 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 sold, 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, 2017. 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.

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, other income was primarily due to FivePoint Holdings, LLC ("FivePoint") recording income resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017’s reduction in its corporate tax rate to reduce its liability pursuant to its tax receivable agreement (“TRA Liability”) with its non-controlling interests. However, the Company has a 70% interest in the

12



FivePoint TRA Liability. Therefore, the Company did not include in Lennar Homebuilding’s equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities its pro-rata share of earnings related to the Company’s portion of the TRA Liability. As a result, the Company’s unconsolidated entities have net earnings, but the Company has an equity in loss from unconsolidated entities.
For the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of valuation adjustments related to assets of Lennar Homebuilding's unconsolidated entities and the Company's share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities excluding other income.
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.

Debt presented above is net of debt issuance costs of $14.3 million and $5.7 million, as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in debt was primarily related to $500 million of senior notes issued by FivePoint.
In May 2017, FivePoint completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). Concurrent with the IPO, the Company invested an additional $100 million in FivePoint in a private placement. As of May 31, 2018, the Company owns approximately 40% of FivePoint and the carrying amount of the Company's investment was $352.0 million.
As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $960.7 million and $900.8 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017 was $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. The basis difference was primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in three strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings on land sales to the Company.
In 2017, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and a Payment Escrow Agreement (“Agreement”) with one of its strategic joint ventures under which the Company agreed to sell 80% to a third-party. Under the terms of the Agreement, the sale transaction was contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. In January 2018, conditions were fulfilled and the transaction was closed resulting in gains of $164.9 million recorded in Lennar Homebuilding other income, net within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended May 31, 2018.
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.

As of both May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the Company's maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to the Company providing repayment guarantees on three unconsolidated entities' debt.
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, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the fair values of the repayment guarantees, maintenance guarantees, and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of May 31, 2018, 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).

For the three months ended May 31, 2018, the effective tax rate included tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expenses. For the six months ended May 31, 2018, the effective tax rate included a $68.6 million non-cash one-time write down of the deferred tax assets due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, offset primarily by tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits. Excluding the impact of the write down of the deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the six months ended May 31, 2018 was 21.4%. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, 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 expenses.
As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the Company's deferred tax assets, net, included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $771.8 million and $297.7 million, respectively. The increase in the deferred tax assets was primarily due to deferred tax assets recorded in the first quarter of 2018 from the acquisition of CalAtlantic, partially offset by the write down of the deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2018 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as described below.
As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the Company had $25.8 million and $12.3 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits.
At May 31, 2018, the Company had $53.0 million accrued for interest and penalties, of which $1.5 million was due to the CalAtlantic acquisition and an additional $1.8 million was accrued during the six months ended May 31, 2018. At November 30, 2017, the Company had $49.7 million accrued for interest and penalties.
On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This Act will materially affect the taxes owed by the Company in 2018 and subsequent years. Among other things, it reduced the maximum federal corporate income tax rate to 21%, which should have a positive effect on the Company's net earnings and earnings per share. It also limited or eliminated certain deductions to which the Company has been entitled in past years and reduced the value of the Company's deferred tax assets, which required the Company to recognize in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 an income tax expense of $68.6 million.

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 amounts presented relate to Rialto's Carried Interest Incentive Plan adopted in June 2015 (see Note 9) and represent the difference between the advanced tax distributions received by Rialto's subsidiary and the amount Lennar, as the parent company, is assumed to own.
(2)
The weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended May 31, 2017 has been retroactively adjusted to include 4.7 million of Class B shares distributed in the stock dividend on November 27, 2017. As a result, basic and diluted earnings per share have also been retroactively adjusted.
For the three and six months ended May 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no options to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding and anti-dilutive.

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 $944.6 million and $937.2 million at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $978.5 million and $974.1 million at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the

18



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.

As of May 31, 2018, Rialto had paid off the remaining principal balance of its 7.00% senior notes due December 2018. As of November 30, 2017, notes and other debts payable primarily included $349.4 million related to Rialto's 7.00% senior notes due December 2018. In addition, as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, notes and other debt payable included $225.5 million and $162.1 million, respectively, related to Rialto's warehouse repurchase facilities.
Rialto Mortgage Finance - loans held-for-sale
During the six months ended May 31, 2018, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $663.8 million, all of which was recorded as loans held-for-sale, and sold $556.3 million of loans into six separate securitizations. 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. As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, there were no unsettled transactions.
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 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 had until July 10, 2017 to liquidate and sell the assets in the FDIC Portfolios. On July 10, 2017, Rialto and the FDIC entered into an agreement which extended the original agreement date to January 10, 2018. Since January 11, 2018, (1) the FDIC has had the right, at its discretion, to sell any remaining assets, or (2) Rialto has had the option to purchase the FDIC's interest in the portfolios. At May 31, 2018, the consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $16.1 million, which primarily included $7.3 million in cash, $6.4 million of real estate owned, net, and $1.6 million of loans held-for-sale. At May 31, 2018, all remaining assets with carrying values were under contract to be sold. At November 30, 2017, the consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $48.8 million, which primarily included $23.8 million in cash, $20.0 million of real estate owned, net and $1.6 million of loans held-for-sale.

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. There were no borrowings under this facility as of both May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017.
Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $225.5 million and $162.1 million as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, 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. 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

20


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 was recorded in Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities in the Company's statement of operations.

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, Rialto received $4.3 million and $7.4 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. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, Rialto received $2.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of such advanced distributions. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, Rialto received $3.3 million and $5.7 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, 2017, Rialto received $8.8 million and $18.8 million, respectively, of such distributions with regard to its carried interest. These incentive income distributions are not subject to clawbacks and therefore are included in Rialto's revenues.
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, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the carrying value of Rialto's commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") was $211.0 million and $179.7 million, respectively. These securities were purchased at discounts ranging from 9% to 84% with coupon rates ranging from 1.3% to 5.0%, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and December 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, 2018 or 2017. The Rialto segment classifies these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.

Receivables primarily related to general contractor services, net of deferrals and management fee income receivables due from unconsolidated entities as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, 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, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. Additionally, as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the Lennar Multifamily segment had $4.6 million and $4.7 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, 2018 and November 30, 2017, Lennar Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $1.0 billion and $896.7 million, respectively.

22



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, 2018, the Lennar Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of $12.4 million and $23.9 million, respectively. 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.
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, 2018, the Lennar Multifamily segment provided general contractor services, net of deferrals totaling $97.0 million and $178.8 million, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of $93.6 million and $172.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, the Lennar Multifamily segment provided general contractor services, net of deferrals 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.
The Lennar Multifamily Venture (the "Venture Fund") 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, 2018, $231.7 million in equity commitments were called, of which the Company contributed its portion of $53.1 million. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, the Company received $2.6 million of distributions as a return of capital from the Venture Fund. As of May 31, 2018, $1.7 billion of the $2.2 billion in equity commitments had been called, of which the Company had contributed $403.8 million, representing its pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for the Company of $100.2 million. As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the carrying value of the Company's investment in the Venture Fund was $369.8 million and $323.8 million, respectively.
In March 2018, the Lennar Multifamily segment completed the first closing of a second Lennar Multifamily Venture, Lennar Multifamily Venture II LP ("Venture Fund II"), for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. With the first close, Venture Fund II will have approximately $500 million of equity commitments, including a $255 million co-investment commitment by Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. As of and during the six months ended May 31, 2018, $106.1 million in equity commitments were called, of which the Company contributed its portion of $52.2 million, which was made up of a $92.2 million inventory contribution, offset by $40.0 million of distributions as a return of capital resulting in a remaining equity commitment for the Company of $202.8 million. As of May 31, 2018, the carrying value of the Company's investment in the Venture Fund II was $42.9 million. The difference between the Company's net contributions and carrying value of the Company's investments was related to a basis difference. Venture Fund II was seeded initially with six undeveloped multifamily assets that were previously purchased by the Lennar Multifamily segment totaling approximately 2,200 apartments with projected project costs of approximately $900 million.
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:

These notes were obligations of CalAtlantic when it was acquired, and were subsequently exchanged in part for notes of Lennar Corporation as follows: $267.7 million principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2020, $397.6 million principal amount of 8.375% senior notes due 2021, $292.0 million principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2021, $240.8 million principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2022, $421.4 million principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2024, $395.5 million principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2026 and $347.3 million principal amount of 5.00% senior notes due 2027. As part of purchase accounting, the senior notes have been recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition (February 12, 2018).
The carrying amounts of the senior notes listed above are net of debt issuance costs of $35.7 million and $33.5 million, as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively.

In February 2018, the Company amended the credit agreement governing its unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to increase the maximum borrowings from $2.0 billion to $2.6 billion and extend the maturity on $2.2 billion of the Credit Facility from June 2022 to June 2023, with $70 million that matured in June 2018 and the remaining $50 million maturing in June 2020. As of May 31, 2018, the Credit Facility included a $245 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, 2018. In addition, the Company had $315 million of letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.
The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were $515.6 million and $384.4 million, respectively, at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were $169.3 million and $127.4 million, at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, 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, 2018, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $2.5 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, 2018, there were approximately $1.3 billion, or 51%, 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.
During the three months ended May 31, 2018, holders of $6.7 million principal amount of CalAtlantic’s 1.625% convertible senior notes due 2018 and $266.2 million principal amount of CalAtlantic’s 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2019 either caused the Company to purchase them for cash or converted them into a combination of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock and cash, resulting in the Company issuing approximately 3,654,000 shares of Class A common stock and 72,000 shares of Class B common stock, and paying $59.1 million in cash to former noteholders. All but $1.3 million of the principal balance of the convertible senior notes had either been converted or redeemed.
In May 2018, the Company redeemed $575 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.375% senior notes due 2018 ("8.375% Senior Notes due 2018"). The redemption price, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest. The 8.375% Senior Notes due 2018 with $575 million of principal amount were obligations of CalAtlantic when it was acquired and $485.6 million principal amount was subsequently exchanged in part for notes of the Company.
Subsequent to May 31, 2018, the Company redeemed $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.95% senior notes due 2018. The redemption price, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest.
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.

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. Warranty reserves are included in Lennar Homebuilding other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The activity in the Company’s warranty reserve was as follows:

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, 2018 and November 30, 2017, using available market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, net and accounts payable, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:
Rialto—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 quoted interest rates 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 aggregate fair value of Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale of $935.5 million at May 31, 2018 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $906.5 million by $29.0 million. The aggregate fair value of Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale of $937.5 million at November 30, 2017 exceeded their aggregate principal balance of $908.8 million by $28.7 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.
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 was included in Lennar Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017. 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

28



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 was included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other liabilities as of May 31, 2018. The fair value of forward contracts was included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other assets as of November 30, 2017.
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, 2018, the segment had open commitments amounting to $1.5 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through August 2018.
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, 2018, the key assumptions used in determining the fair value include an 11.6% mortgage prepayment rate, a 12.5% discount rate and an 8.8% delinquency rate. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other assets.

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, 2018 and 2017.
(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, 2018 and 2017.
(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, 2018 and 2017.
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, 2017.
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, 2018 and 2017, there were 1,320 and 732 active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, respectively. As of May 31, 2018, the Company identified 19 communities with 1,013 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $113.2 million as having potential indicators of impairment. For the six months ended May 31, 2018, the Company recorded valuation adjustments of $17.6 million on 570 homesites in three communities with a carrying value of $31.3 million.
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. For the six months ended May 31, 2017, the Company recorded valuation adjustments of $7.5 million on 469 homesites in six communities with a carrying value of $12.0 million.
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, 2018:

Consolidated VIEs
As of May 31, 2018, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $883.9 million and $420.5 million, respectively. As of November 30, 2017, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $799.4 million and $389.7 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 or other debts payable. The assets held by a VIE usually are collateral for that VIE’s debt. The Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to a VIE unless the Company and/or the other partner(s) have entered into debt guarantees with a VIE’s banks. Other than debt guarantee agreements with a VIE’s banks, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to a VIE. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts.

(2)
As of both May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of Rialto’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, investments in unconsolidated VIEs and Lennar’s maximum exposure to loss included $211.0 million and $179.7 million, respectively, related to Rialto’s investments held-to-maturity.
(3)
As of May 31, 2018, the remaining equity commitment of $303.0 million to fund the Venture Fund and Venture Fund II for future expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects was included in Lennar's maximum exposure to loss. As of November 30, 2017, the remaining equity commitment of $153.3 million to fund the Venture Fund was included in Lennar's maximum exposure for loss. In addition, as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, 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 $4.6 million and

32



$4.6 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding for certain of the unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements.
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, 2018, the Company and other partners did not have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs, except for $303.0 million remaining equity commitment to fund the Venture Fund and Venture Fund II for future expenditures related to the construction and development of the projects and $4.6 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 $66.8 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, 2018, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $11.5 million with a decrease to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a higher amount of construction started on homesites not owned compared to homesite takedowns. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, the Company had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2018. 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 $249.8 million and $137.0 million at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively. Additionally, the Company had posted $53.2 million and $51.8 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively.

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 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.
In the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $140 million loss due to litigation regarding a contract the Company entered into in 2005 to purchase a property in Maryland. As a result of the litigation, the Company purchased the property for $114 million, which approximated the Company's estimate of fair value for the property. In addition, the Company paid approximately $124 million in interest and other closing costs and have accrued for the amount it expects to pay as reimbursement for attorney's fees.
In July 2017, CalAtlantic Group, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, was notified by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board of CalAtlantic’s non-compliance with the Clean Water Act at a development in San Ramon, CA. The Company expects to pay monetary sanctions to resolve this matter, which the Company does not currently expect will be material.
Our mortgage subsidiary has been subpoenaed by the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") regarding the adequacy of certain underwriting and quality control processes related to Federal Housing Administration loans originated and

33



sold in prior years. The Company has provided information related to these loans and the Company's processes to the DOJ, and communications are ongoing. The DOJ has to date not asserted any claim for damages or penalties.

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 currently planning to adopt the modified retrospective method and is continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's 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 the Company's 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 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 the Company's 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 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. Additionally, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash ("ASU

34



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. Both ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 will modify the Company's current disclosures and reclassifications within the consolidated statement of cash flows but is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s 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. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s 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 the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In addition, some subsidiaries of CalAtlantic are guaranteeing CalAtlantic senior convertible notes that also are guaranteed by Lennar Corporation. 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, 2018 they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, disclosed in Note 12 or were guaranteeing CalAtlantic convertible senior notes. The guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% directly or indirectly owned by Lennar Corporation. A subsidiary's guarantee of Lennar senior notes will be suspended at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation, and a subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of.
For purposes of the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows included in the following supplemental financial information, the Company's accounting policy is to treat cash received by Lennar Corporation ("the Parent") from its subsidiaries, to the extent of net earnings from such subsidiaries as a dividend and accordingly a return on investment within cash flows from operating activities. Distributions of capital received by the Parent from its subsidiaries are reflected as cash flows from investing activities. The cash outflows associated with the return on investment dividends and distributions of capital received by the Parent are reflected by the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries in the Dividends line item within cash flows from financing activities. All other cash flows between the Parent and its subsidiaries represent the settlement of receivables and payables between such entities in conjunction with the Parent's centralized cash management arrangement with its subsidiaries, which operates with the characteristics of a revolving credit facility, and are accordingly reflected net in the Intercompany line item within cash flows from investing activities for the Parent and net in the Intercompany line item within cash flows from financing activities for the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries.

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, 2017.
Some of the statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements contained herein may include opinions or beliefs regarding market conditions and similar matters. In many instances those opinions and beliefs are based upon general observations by members of our management, anecdotal evidence and our experience in the conduct of our businesses, without specific investigation or analyses. Therefore, while they reflect our view of the industries and markets in which we are involved, they should not be viewed as reflecting verifiable views or views that are necessarily shared by all who are involved in those industries or markets. These statements concern expectations, beliefs, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements typically include the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “consider,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “objective,” “plan,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “strategy,” “target,” “will” or other words of similar meaning.
These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We wish to caution readers that certain important factors may have affected and could in the future affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ significantly from what is anticipated by our forward-looking statements. The most important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: increases in operating costs, including costs related to labor, real estate taxes, construction materials and insurance; unfavorable outcomes in legal proceedings; our inability to realize all of the anticipated synergy benefits from the CalAtlantic Group, Inc. ("CalAtlantic") transaction or to realize them in the anticipated timeline; a downturn in the market for residential real estate; changes in general economic and financial conditions that reduce demand for our products and services, lower our profit margins or reduce our access to credit; our inability to acquire land at anticipated prices; the possibility that we will incur nonrecurring costs that affect earnings in one or more reporting periods; decreased demand for our homes or Lennar Multifamily rental properties, and our inability to successfully sell our apartments; the possibility that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will have more negative than positive impact on us; the possibility that the benefit from our increasing use of technology will not justify its cost; increased competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; negative effects of increasing mortgage interest rates; our inability to reduce the ratio of our homebuilding debt to our total capital net of cash; a decline in the value of our land inventories and resulting write-downs of the carrying value of our real estate assets; the failure of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; difficulty obtaining land-use entitlements or construction financing; natural disasters and other unforeseen events for which our insurance does not provide adequate coverage; the inability of Rialto to sell mortgages it originates into securitizations on favorable terms; our inability to reposition Rialto in connection with possible strategic alternatives relating to Rialto; new laws or regulatory changes that adversely affect the profitability of our businesses; our inability to refinance our debt on terms that are acceptable to us; and changes in accounting conventions that adversely affect our reported earnings.
Please see our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017 and other filings with the SEC for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties which could affect our future results. We undertake no obligation, other than those imposed by securities laws, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of those statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Outlook
The housing market has remained strong. Even with questions about rising interest rates, labor shortages, rising construction costs and the macro international trade tensions, the housing market has remained resilient. There continues to be a general sense of optimism in the market. Unemployment is at historic lows, the labor participation rate is increasing and wages are higher. The deficit in the production of new homes has driven a supply shortage, while demand is strong. The millennial population is forming households, so short supply with strong demand is sustaining this recovery and overcoming headwinds. Additionally, the Federal Tax Act continues to add momentum to the economic and housing landscape. It is proving to be a positive for our customer base and stimulative to the economy overall, which is good for housing.
Against this strong backdrop we have continued to successfully integrate our strategic combination with CalAtlantic. We will continue to transition CalAtlantic communities to Lennar branding and our Everything’s Included® marketing model. As deliveries increase later in the year, we expect to generate significant cash flow, and our first priority is to pay down debt and reduce leverage.

44



We believe that we are poised to continue to grow our business and to leverage scale in each of our markets and to drive efficiencies and implement new technologies. Current market conditions enable us to grow, while management and company focus enable us to drive continued improvement and refinement of our business with critical scale in the best markets in the country.
We are already starting to see the power of consolidation with CalAtlantic at the corporate level and the benefits of leverage from additional volume and scale in local markets. Since closing the transaction, we have now increased our synergy savings expectations for 2018 to $160 million and our synergies target for 2019 to $380 million.
Our net margins are expected to improve throughout the year as we achieve synergies and increase revenues from CalAtlantic. Both S,G&A and corporate G&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were lower than the same period last year, and our operations continued the pattern of exceeding our expectations driven by solid fundamentals. We believe these trends should carry forward throughout the year.
Additionally, as previously announced in April, we have engaged Wells Fargo Securities and Deutsche Bank Securities to advise us regarding possible strategic alternatives relating to our Rialto investment and asset management platform, and we remain committed to our strategy of reverting to our pure-play core homebuilding platform. Rialto Mortgage Finance, our commercial loan securitization business, will be moved out of Rialto and merged into Lennar Financial Services, and certain other Rialto assets may be moved out of Rialto.
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 46,360 homes in fiscal 2018. Overall, we believe we are on track to achieve another year of strong profitability in fiscal 2018.
(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, 2018 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 can alter seasonal patterns.
Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were $310.3 million, or $0.94 per diluted share ($0.95 per basic share), in the second quarter of 2018, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $213.6 million, or $0.89 per diluted share ($0.89 per basic share), in the second quarter of 2017. Earnings in the second quarter of 2018 were reduced by $236.8 million ($0.58 per diluted share) of pretax backlog/construction in progress write-up related to purchase accounting and $23.9 million ($0.06 per diluted share) of pretax acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of CalAtlantic. Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were $446.5 million, or $1.52 per diluted share ($1.53 per basic share), in the six months ended May 31, 2018, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $251.7 million, or $1.05 per diluted share ($1.05 per basic share), in the second quarter of 2017. Earnings in the six months ended May 31, 2018 were reduced by $291.9 million ($0.79 per diluted share) of pretax backlog/construction in progress write-up related to purchase accounting, $128.1 million ($0.35 per diluted share) of pretax acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of CalAtlantic, and a $68.6 million ($0.24 per diluted share) write down of deferred tax assets due to the reduction in the maximum federal corporate income tax rate. Earnings in the second quarter of 2017 were reduced by $140 million ($0.39 per diluted share) of pretax Lennar Homebuilding loss due to litigation.

Effects of CalAtlantic Acquisition
We had previously stated that we expected to receive $100 million of synergy benefits from the acquisition of CalAtlantic during 2018 and $365 million in 2019. By the end of June 2018, we had taken steps that made us believe that we are on track to meet or exceed our $100 million synergy savings expectations for 2018 by $60 million and our $365 million synergies target for 2019 by $15 million. These steps included elimination of costs of having two publicly traded companies, significant reductions in combined headcount and renegotiation of both local and national supply contracts.
Our operating results for the three and six months ended May 31, 2018 were adversely affected by $23.9 million and $128.1 million, respectively of acquisition and integration costs and $236.8 million and $291.9 million, respectively of purchase accounting adjustments on CalAtlantic homes in backlog/construction in progress that were delivered in the three and six months ended May 31, 2018. We will continue to incur integration costs during the remainder of fiscal 2018. Additionally, our earnings in the third and fourth quarters will continue to be affected by purchase accounting adjustments impacting gross margins recognized on CalAtlantic homes in backlog/construction in progress at the date of acquisition.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2018 versus Three Months Ended May 31, 2017
On February 12, 2018, we completed our acquisition of CalAtlantic. Prior year information includes only stand alone data for Lennar Corporation.
Revenues from home sales increased 74% in the second quarter of 2018 to $5.0 billion from $2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2017. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 57% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and an 11% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 12,078 homes in the second quarter of 2018 from 7,687 homes in the second quarter of 2017. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of our Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other primarily as a result of the significant increase in volume resulting from the CalAtlantic acquisition. The average sales price of homes delivered was $413,000 in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $374,000 in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in average sales price was primarily resulting from the CalAtlantic acquisition. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $23,000 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2018, or 5.3% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $22,700 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2017, or 5.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $22,300 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2018, or 5.4% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were $840.0 million, or 16.8%, in the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the backlog/construction in progress write-up of $236.8 million related to purchase accounting adjustments on CalAtlantic homes that were delivered in the second quarter of 2018, gross margins on home sales were $1.1 billion or 21.6%. This compared to $616.9 million, or 21.5%, in the second quarter of 2017. Gross margin percentage on home sales increased compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered, partially offset by higher construction costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $432.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $268.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 8.7% in the second quarter of 2018, from 9.3% in the second quarter of 2017 due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries and continued benefit from technology initiatives. WCI Communities, Inc. ("WCI") transaction-related expenses had a negative 20 basis point impact to selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales in the second quarter of 2017.
Gross profits on land sales were $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2018, which included profits of $15.0 million on two strategic land sales. This compared to gross profits on land sales of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $21.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. In the second quarter of 2018, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of valuation adjustments related to assets of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and our share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities. 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 its unconsolidated entities, primarily driven by general and administrative expenses, as there were no significant land sale transactions. Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, was $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2017.
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $75.8 million in the second quarter of 2018 ($71.9 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.9 million in costs of land sold and $3.0 million in other income, net), compared to $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). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in home deliveries.

47



Operating earnings for our Lennar Financial Services segment were $52.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $43.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. Operating earnings were impacted by an increase in the segment's title and mortgage operations due to the acquisition of CalAtlantic's Financial Services operations, partially offset by a decrease in refinance transactions and lower mortgage profit per loan originated.
Operating earnings for the Rialto segment were $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2018 (which included $6.9 million of operating earnings and an add back of $0.1 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings in the second quarter of 2017 were $6.2 million (which included a $6.5 million operating loss and an add back of $12.6 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to a decrease in real estate owned and loan impairments due to the liquidation of the FDIC and bank portfolios as well as a decrease in general and administrative expenses. The increase in operating earnings was partially offset by a decrease in Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") securitization revenues as a result of lower volume as well as decreases in incentive and management fee income.
Operating earnings for the Lennar Multifamily segment were $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to the segment's $17.4 million share of gains as a result of the sale of two operating properties by two of Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and $5.2 million of promote revenue related to two properties in the Lennar Multifamily Venture (the "Venture Fund"), partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the second quarter of 2017, the Lennar Multifamily segment had operating earnings of $6.5 million primarily due to the segment's $11.4 million share of gains 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.
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $84.9 million, or 1.6% as a percentage of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $66.8 million, or 2.0% as a percentage of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in revenues.
Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were $4.6 million and ($12.9) million in the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in the second quarter of 2018 were primarily attributable to net earnings related to the Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in 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.
In the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, we had a tax provision of $76.0 million and $108.9 million, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were 19.7% and 33.8% in the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 included tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits.
Six Months Ended May 31, 2018 versus Six Months Ended May 31, 2017
On February 12, 2018, we completed our acquisition of CalAtlantic. Prior year information includes only stand alone data for Lennar Corporation.
Revenues from home sales increased 57% in the six months ended May 31, 2018 to $7.6 billion from $4.9 billion in the six months ended May 31, 2017. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 43% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 10% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 18,812 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2018 from 13,120 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2017. There was an increase in home deliveries in all of our Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other primarily as a result of the significant increase in volume resulting from the CalAtlantic acquisition. The average sales price of homes delivered was $406,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2018, compared to $370,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2017. The increase in average sales price was primarily resulting from the CalAtlantic acquisition. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $22,800 per home delivered in the six months ended May 31, 2018, or 5.3% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $22,700 per home delivered in the six months ended May 31, 2017, or 5.8% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were $1.4 billion, or 17.8%, in the six months ended May 31, 2018. Excluding the backlog/construction in progress write-up of $291.9 million related to purchase accounting adjustments on CalAtlantic homes that were delivered since the acquisition, gross margins on home sales were $1.6 billion or 21.6%. This compared to gross margin on home sales of $1.0 billion, or 21.3%, in the six months ended May 31, 2017. Gross margin percentage on home sales increased compared to the six months ended May 31, 2017 primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered, partially offset by higher construction costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $689.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2018, compared to $472.4 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 9.0% in the six months ended May 31, 2018, from 9.7% in the six months ended May 31,

48



2017, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries and continued benefit from technology initiatives. WCI transaction-related expenses had a negative 30 basis point impact to selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues from home sales in the six months ended May 31, 2017.
Gross profits on land sales were $18.9 million in the six months ended May 31, 2018, which included profits of $15.0 million on two strategic land sales. This compared to $3.7 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017. Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $26.5 million in the six months ended May 31, 2018, compared to $33.0 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017. In the six months ended May 31, 2018, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was attributable to our share of valuation adjustments related to assets of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and our share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities. 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 its unconsolidated entities, which was primarily driven by general and administrative expenses as there were no significant land sale transactions. Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, was $179.8 million in the six months ended May 31, 2018, compared to $9.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017. In the six months ended May 31, 2018, other income, net, was primarily related to a gain on the sale of an 80% interest in one of Lennar Homebuilding's strategic joint ventures, Treasure Island Holdings.
Lennar Homebuilding loss due to litigation of $140 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017 was related to litigation regarding a contract we entered into in 2005 to purchase property in Maryland. As a result of the litigation, we purchased the property for $114 million, which approximated our estimate of fair value for the property. In addition, we paid approximately $124 million in interest and other closing costs and have accrued for the amount we expected to pay as reimbursement for attorney's fees.
Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $127.1 million in the six months ended May 31, 2018 ($120.2 million was included in costs of homes sold, $1.4 million in costs of land sold and $5.4 million in other income, net), compared to $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). 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 $72.1 million in the six months ended May 31, 2018, compared to $64.4 million in the six months ended May 31, 2017. Operating earnings were impacted by an increase in the segment's title and mortgage operations due to the acquisition of CalAtlantic's Financial Services operations, partially offset by a decrease in refinance transactions and lower mortgage profit per loan originated.
Operating earnings for our Rialto segment were $17.4 million in the six months ended May 31, 2018 (which included $16.1 million of operating earnings and an add back of $1.3 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings for the six months ended May 31, 2017 were $18.2 million (which included a $7.3 million operating loss and an add back of $25.5 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to a decrease in Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") securitization revenues as a result of lower volume and decreases in incentive and management fee income. The decrease in operating earnings was partially offset by a decrease in real estate owned and loan impairments due to the liquidation of the FDIC and bank portfolios, an increase in earnings from unconsolidated entities and a decrease in general administrative expenses.
Operating earnings for our Lennar Multifamily segment were $13.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2018, primarily due to the segment's $21.5 million share of gains as a result of the sale of three operating properties by Lennar Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and $5.2 million of promote revenue related to two properties in the Venture Fund, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the six months ended May 31, 2017, our Lennar Multifamily segment had operating earnings of $25.7 million 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.
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $152.7 million, or 1.8% as a percentage of total revenues, in the six months ended May 31, 2018, compared to $127.5 million, or 2.3% as a percentage of total revenues, in the six months ended May 31, 2017. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in revenues.
Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were $5.2 million and ($21.3) million in the six months ended May 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the six months ended May 31, 2018 were primarily attributable to net earnings related to our Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in 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 our Lennar Homebuilding consolidated joint ventures.

In the six months ended May 31, 2018 and 2017, we had a tax provision of $208.6 million and $128.9 million, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were 31.8% and 33.9% in the six months ended May 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended May 31, 2018 included a $68.6 million non-cash one-time write down of deferred tax assets due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and state income tax expense, offset primarily by tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits. Excluding the impact of the write down of the deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the six months ended May 31, 2018 was 21.4%. The effective tax rate for the six months ended May 31, 2017 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.

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. This includes Indiana and Utah which are states with operations acquired from CalAtlantic. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to homebuilding segments are to those three reportable segments.
At May 31, 2018, our reportable homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other consisted of homebuilding divisions located in:
East: Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia
Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas
West: California and Nevada
Other: Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and Washington
The following tables set forth selected financial and operational information related to our homebuilding operations for the periods indicated:

Of the total homes in backlog listed above, 16 homes with a backlog dollar value of $10.7 million and an average sales price of $672,000 represent the backlog from unconsolidated entities at May 31, 2018, compared to eight homes with a backlog dollar value of $4.6 million and an average sales price of $574,000 at May 31, 2017.

During the six months ended May 31, 2018, we acquired 6,651 homes in backlog from the CalAtlantic acquisition. Of the homes in backlog acquired, 2,655 homes were in the East, 1,781 homes were in the Central, 1,136 homes were in the West and 1,079 homes were in Other.
(2)
During the six months ended May 31, 2017, we acquired 360 homes in backlog from the WCI acquisition.
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.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2018 versus Three Months Ended May 31, 2017
Homebuilding East: Revenues from home sales increased in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment. Revenues from home sales also increased as a result of the increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Florida, Maryland and the Carolinas partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in Georgia. The increase in the number of home deliveries was primarily due to an increase in active communities including communities acquired from CalAtlantic. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in Florida, Maryland and the Carolinas was primarily due to an increase in home deliveries in higher-priced communities, including higher-priced communities acquired from CalAtlantic, and favorable market conditions. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in Georgia 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. Gross margin percentage on home sales in the second quarter of 2018 decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to purchase accounting adjustments on CalAtlantic homes that were in backlog/construction in progress when we acquired CalAtlantic which reduced the gross margin percentage for those deliveries.

The increase in the number of home deliveries was primarily due to an increase in active communities including communities acquired from CalAtlantic. The decrease in the number of home deliveries in Oregon and Washington was primarily due to a decrease in deliveries per active community as a result of timing of opening and closing of communities. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily due to an increase in home deliveries in higher-priced communities, including higher-priced communities acquired from CalAtlantic, and favorable market conditions.

Lennar Financial Services Segment
Our Lennar Financial Services reportable segment provides mortgage financing, title insurance, closing services and property and casualty insurance for both buyers of our homes and others. It also includes a real estate brokerage business acquired as part of the WCI transaction. 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 CalAtlantic acquisition in February 2018, CalAtlantic's financial services business was merged into Lennar Financial Services. This business operates in the same states as CalAtlantic's homebuilding divisions.

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, perform 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 Mortgage Finance
RMF originates and sells into securitizations five, seven and ten year commercial first mortgage loans, which are secured by income producing properties. This business is a significant contributor to Rialto's revenues.
During the six months ended May 31, 2018, RMF originated loans with a total principal amount of $663.8 million, all of which were recorded as loans held-for-sale, and sold $556.3 million of loans into six separate securitizations. During the six months ended May 31, 2017, RMF originated loans with a total principal amount 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. As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, there were no unsettled transactions.
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 variable interest entities ("VIEs") and since we were determined to be the primary beneficiary, we 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 had until July 10, 2017 to liquidate and sell the assets in the FDIC Portfolios. On July 10, 2017, Rialto and the FDIC entered into an agreement which extended the original agreement date to January 10, 2018. Since January 11, 2018, (1) the FDIC has had the right, at its discretion, to sell any remaining assets, or (2) Rialto has had the option to purchase the FDIC's interest in the portfolios. At May 31, 2018, the consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $16.1 million, which primarily included $7.3 million in cash, $6.4 million of real estate owned, net, and $1.6 million of loans held-for-sale. At May 31, 2018, all remaining assets with carrying values were under contract to be sold. At November 30, 2017, the consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $48.8 million, which primarily included $23.8 million in cash, $20.0 million of real estate owned, net and $1.6 million of loans held-for-sale.

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, 2018 and November 30, 2017, our balance sheet had $872.8 million and $710.7 million, respectively, of assets related to our Lennar Multifamily segment, which included investments in unconsolidated entities of $480.3 million and $407.5 million, respectively. Our net investment in the Lennar Multifamily segment as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017 was $726.9 million and $561.0 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, our Lennar Multifamily segment sold two and three operating properties, respectively, through its unconsolidated entities resulting in the segment's $17.4 million and $21.5 million share of gains, 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.
Our Lennar Multifamily segment had equity investments in 26 and 28 unconsolidated entities (including the Lennar Multifamily Venture, the "Venture Fund") as of both May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017. As of May 31, 2018, our Lennar Multifamily segment had interests in 66 communities with development costs of approximately $7.6 billion, of which 19 communities were completed and operating, 7 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, 2018, our Lennar Multifamily segment also had a pipeline of 16 potential future projects totaling approximately $1.8 billion in development costs across a number of states that will be developed primarily by future unconsolidated entities.
The Venture Fund 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.
In March 2018, the Lennar Multifamily segment completed the first closing of a second Lennar Multifamily Venture, Lennar Multifamily Venture II LP ("Venture Fund II"), for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. With the first close, Venture Fund II will have approximately $500 million of equity commitments, including a $255 million co-investment commitment by Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. As of and during the six months ended May 31, 2018, $106.1 million in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed our portion of $52.2 million, which was made up of a $92.2 million inventory contribution, offset by $40.0 million of distributions as a return of capital resulting in a remaining equity commitment for us of $202.8 million. As of May 31, 2018, the carrying value of our investment in the Venture Fund II was $42.9 million. The difference between our net contributions and carrying value of our investments was related to a basis difference. Venture Fund II was seeded initially with six undeveloped

multifamily assets that were previously purchased by the Lennar Multifamily segment totaling approximately 2,200 apartments with projected project costs of approximately $900 million.
(2) Financial Condition and Capital Resources
At May 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents related to our homebuilding, financial services, Rialto and multifamily operations of $1.2 billion, compared to $2.7 billion at November 30, 2017 and $984.0 million at May 31, 2017.
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, 2018 and 2017, cash provided by (used in) operating activities totaled $34.4 million and ($159.8) million, respectively. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, cash provided by operating activities was positively impacted by our net earnings, an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $111.0 million and a decrease in receivables of $44.2 million, partially offset by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases, land development and construction costs of $408.9 million, an increase in other assets of $119.7 million and an increase in loans held-for-sale of $43.9 million, of which $110.8 million related to Rialto, offset by a decrease in Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale of $66.9 million. For the six months ended May 31, 2018, distributions of earnings from unconsolidated entities were $18.7 million, which included (1) $16.2 million from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities; and (2) $2.5 million from Rialto unconsolidated entities.
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 $44.4 million, which included (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.
Investing Cash Flow Activities
During the six months ended May 31, 2018 and 2017, cash used in investing activities totaled $965.5 million and $873.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, our cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the $1.1 billion of cash used for the acquisition of CalAtlantic, net of cash acquired.

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 $175.2 million of proceeds from the sale of an 80% interest in one of Lennar Homebuilding's strategic joint ventures, Treasure Island Holdings, and distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities of $196.1 million, which included (1) $105.2 million from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities; (2) $66.1 million from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities; and (3) $24.8 million from Rialto unconsolidated entities, comprised of $6.8 million distributed by Fund III, $5.5 million distributed by Mezzanine Partners Fund, LP (the "Mezzanine Fund"), $3.0 million distributed by Rialto Capital CMBS Funds (the "CMBS Funds"), $4.5 million distributed by Rialto Real Estate Fund II, LP (" Fund II"), and $4.9 million distributed by RCP Fund.
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 $315.8 million to unconsolidated entities, which included (1) $236.6 million to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, including $100 million to FivePoint Holdings, LLC ("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 Fund III and $5.3 million contributed to 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 from unconsolidated entities of $96.5 million, which included (1) $54.7 million from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, of which $25.8 million was distributed by the Venture Fund; (2) $23.2 million from Rialto unconsolidated entities comprised of $14.5 million distributed by Fund II, $2.4 million distributed by Fund III, $2.5 million distributed by CMBS Funds, $3.6 million distributed by Mezzanine Fund and $0.2 million distributed by RCP Fund; and (3) $18.6 million from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.

Financing Cash Flow Activities
During the six months ended May 31, 2018 and 2017, cash (used in) provided by financing activities totaled ($565.9) million and $687.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, cash used in financing activities was primarily impacted by (1) payment at maturity of $575.0 million aggregate principal redemption of the 8.375% Senior Notes due 2018; (2) $350.6 million of aggregate principal payment on Rialto's 7.00% senior notes due December 2018; (3) $60.0 million principal payments on other borrowings; (4) $59.1 million of exchanges and conversions of our 1.625% and 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2018 and 2019, respectively, and; (5) $30.4 million of payments related to noncontrolling interests. This was partially offset by (1) $495.3 million of net borrowings under our Credit Facilities as we replaced the amount outstanding under the CalAtlantic revolving credit facility with borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which had $950 million outstanding as of May 31, 2018; (2) $32.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of Rialto notes payable and; (3) $31.8 million of proceeds from other borrowings.
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, (2) issuance of $650 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2024, (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, (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.

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). Our management believes 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, 2018, Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital was lower compared to May 31, 2017, primarily as a result of an increase in stockholders' equity primarily related to the issuance of shares in connection with the CalAtlantic acquisition and net earnings, partially offset by an increase in homebuilding debt primarily related to an increase in Lennar Homebuilding debt due to the CalAtlantic 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 non-homebuilding businesses, such as Rialto and Lennar Multifamily, we may also consider other types of transactions such as sales, restructuring, joint ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings as we intend to move back towards being a pure play homebuilding company over time. We have engaged Wells Fargo Securities and Deutsche Bank Securities to advise us regarding strategic alternatives that may be available with regard to our subsidiary Rialto Capital Management. 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, 2018, we had no agreements regarding any significant transactions.

These notes were obligations of CalAtlantic when it was acquired, and were subsequently exchanged in part for notes of Lennar Corporation as follows: $267.7 million principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2020, $397.6 million principal amount of 8.375% senior notes due 2021, $292.0 million principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2021, $240.8 million principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2022, $421.4 million principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2024, $395.5 million principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2026 and $347.3 million principal amount of 5.00% senior notes due 2027. As part of purchase accounting, the senior notes have been recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition (February 12, 2018).
The carrying amounts of the senior notes listed above are net of debt issuance costs of $35.7 million and $33.5 million, as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively.
During the three months ended May 31, 2018, holders of $6.7 million principal amount of CalAtlantic’s 1.625% convertible senior notes due 2018 and $266.2 million principal amount of CalAtlantic’s 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2019 either caused us to purchase them for cash or converted them into a combination of our Class A and Class B common stock and cash, resulting in our issuing approximately 3,654,000 shares of Class A common stock and 72,000 shares of Class B common stock, and paying $59.1 million in cash to former noteholders. All but $1.3 million of the principal balance of the convertible senior notes had either been converted or redeemed.
In May 2018, we redeemed $575 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.375% senior notes due 2018 ("8.375% Senior Notes due 2018"). The redemption price, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest. The 8.375% Senior Notes due 2018 with $575 million of principal amount were obligations of CalAtlantic when it was acquired and $485.6 million of principal amount was subsequently exchanged in part for Lennar notes.
Subsequent to May 31, 2018, we redeemed $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.95% senior notes due 2018. The redemption price, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest.
Our Lennar Homebuilding average debt outstanding was $8.8 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 4.8% for the six months ended May 31, 2018, compared to $5.6 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 5.1% for the six

61



months ended May 31, 2017. Interest incurred related to Lennar Homebuilding debt for the six months ended May 31, 2018 was $201.0 million, compared to $148.9 million for the six months ended May 31, 2017.
In February 2018, we amended our Credit Facility to increase the maximum borrowings from $2.0 billion to $2.6 billion and extend the maturity on $2.2 billion of the Credit Facility from June 2022 to June 2023, with $70 million that matured in June 2018 and the remaining $50 million maturing in June 2020. As of May 31, 2018, the Credit Facility included a $245 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, 2018, we had $950 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of November 30, 2017, 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, 2018. In addition, we had $315 million of letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.
Our performance letters of credit outstanding were $515.6 million and $384.4 million, respectively, at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017. Our financial letters of credit outstanding were $169.3 million and $127.4 million at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, 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, 2018, we had outstanding surety bonds of $2.5 billion including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of our joint ventures) and financial surety bonds.
Under the amended Credit Facility agreement executed in February 2018 (the "Credit Agreement"), as of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are required to maintain minimum consolidated tangible net worth of approximately $6.0 billion plus the sum of 50% of the cumulative consolidated net income for each completed fiscal quarter subsequent to February 28, 2018, if positive, and 50% of the net cash proceeds from any equity offerings from and after February 28, 2018, minus the lesser of 50% of the amount paid after February 12, 2018 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, 2018:

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.
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

62



Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes. In addition, some subsidiaries of CalAtlantic are guaranteeing CalAtlantic convertible senior notes that are also guaranteed by Lennar Corporation.
If our guarantor subsidiaries are guaranteeing revolving credit lines totaling at least $75 million, we will treat the guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes as remaining in effect even during periods when Lennar Corporation’s borrowings under the revolving credit lines are less than $75 million. A subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of.

Our 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 $944.6 million and $937.2 million at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $978.5 million and $974.1 million, at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, 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.

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. There were no borrowings under this facility as of both May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017.
Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $225.5 million and $162.1 million as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively, and were secured by a 75% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. The facilities require immediate repayment of the 75% interest in the secured commercial loans when the loans are sold in a securitization and the proceeds are collected. These warehouse repurchase facilities are non-recourse to us and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling the loans held-for-sale to investors. Without the facilities, the Rialto segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

During the three months ended May 31, 2018, Rialto paid off the remaining principal balance of its 7.00% senior notes due December 2018 (the "7.00% Senior Notes"). As of November 30, 2017, the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of the 7.00% Senior Notes was $349.4 million.
Changes in Capital Structure
During the six months ended May 31, 2018, treasury stock increased by 0.5 million shares of Class A common stock primarily due to activity related to our equity compensation plan.
On May 9, 2018, 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 25, 2018, as declared by our Board of Directors on April 11, 2018. On June 27, 2018, 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 26, 2018 to holders of record at the close of business on July 12, 2018.
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, 2018, we had equity investments in 59 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which four had recourse debt, ten had non-recourse debt and 45 had no debt), compared to 38 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2017. This includes 20 unconsolidated entities in which CalAtlantic or a subsidiary is the participant. 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:

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, other income was primarily due to FivePoint recording income resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017’s reduction in its corporate tax rate to reduce its liability pursuant to its tax receivable agreement (“TRA Liability”) with its non-controlling interests.  However, we have a 70% interest in the FivePoint TRA Liability.  Therefore, we did not include in Lennar Homebuilding’s equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities its pro-rata share of earnings related to our portion of the TRA Liability.  As a result, our unconsolidated entities have net earnings, but we have an equity in loss from unconsolidated entities.

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

Debt presented above is net of debt issuance costs of $14.3 million and $5.7 million, as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in debt was primarily related to $500 million of senior notes issued by FivePoint.
In May 2017, FivePoint completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). Concurrent with the IPO, we invested an additional $100 million in FivePoint in a private placement. As of May 31, 2018, we own approximately 40% of FivePoint and the carrying amount of our investment was $352.0 million.
As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, our recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $960.7 million and $900.8 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017 was $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. 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.
In 2017, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and a Payment Escrow Agreement (“Agreement”) with one of our strategic joint ventures under which we agreed to sell 80% to a third-party. Under the terms of the Agreement, the sale transaction was contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. In January 2018, conditions were fulfilled and the transaction was closed resulting in a gain of $164.9 million recorded in Lennar Homebuilding other income, net within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended May 31, 2018.
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:

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

65



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 increase in non-recourse debt without completion guarantees was primarily related to $500 million of senior notes issued by FivePoint.
(2)
As of both May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, our maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to us providing repayment guarantees on three unconsolidated entities' debt.
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, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the fair values of the repayment, maintenance, and completion guarantees were not material. We believe that as of May 31, 2018, 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, 2018 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:

Net of interests of participating employees (refer to paragraph below).
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

68



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 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:

Lennar Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At May 31, 2018, Lennar Multifamily had equity investments in 26 unconsolidated entities that are engaged in multifamily residential developments (of which ten had non-recourse debt and 16 had no debt), compared to 27 unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2017. 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 Fund 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 has 39 multifamily assets totaling approximately 12,000 apartments with projected project costs of $4.1 billion as of May 31, 2018. There are ten completed and operating multifamily assets with 2,959 apartments. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, $231.7 million in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed $53.1 million representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, we received $2.6 million of distributions as a return of capital from the

69



Venture Fund. As of May 31, 2018, $1.7 billion of the $2.2 billion in equity commitments had been called, of which we had contributed $403.8 million representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for us of $100.2 million. As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the carrying value of our investment in the Venture Fund was $369.8 million and $323.8 million, respectively.
In March 2018, the Lennar Multifamily segment completed the first closing of a second Lennar Multifamily Venture, Venture Fund II, for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. With the first close, Venture Fund II will have approximately $500 million of equity commitments, including a $255 million co-investment commitment by Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. As of and during the six months ended May 31, 2018, $106.1 million in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed our portion of $52.2 million, which was made up of a $92.2 million inventory contribution, offset by $40.0 million of distributions as a return of capital resulting resulting in a remaining equity commitment for us of $202.8 million. As of May 31, 2018, the carrying value of our investment in the Venture Fund II was $42.9 million. The difference between our net contributions and carrying value of our investments was related to a basis difference. Venture Fund II was seeded initially with six undeveloped multifamily assets that were previously purchased by the Lennar Multifamily segment totaling approximately 2,200 apartments with projected project costs of approximately $900 million.
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, 2018.
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:

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, 2018 and 2017:

The increase in homesites at May 31, 2018 was primarily due to the acquisition of approximately 68,000 homesites as part of the CalAtlantic acquisition.
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, 2018, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $11.5 million with a decrease to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a higher amount of construction started on homesites not owned compared to homesite takedowns. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, we had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2018. 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 $249.8 million and $137.0 million at May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively. Additionally, we had posted $53.2 million and $51.8 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have 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, 2017, due to the following:
As part of the CalAtlantic acquisition on February 12, 2018, we became subject, on a consolidated basis, to $3.9 billion of senior notes payable and other debts payable.
As of May 31, 2018, we had $950 million outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.
In May 2018, we redeemed $575 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.375% Senior Notes due 2018.
During the three months ended May 31, 2018, holders of $6.7 million principal amount of CalAtlantic’s 1.625% convertible senior notes due 2018 and $266.2 million principal amount of CalAtlantic’s 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2019 either had been converted or redeemed. The remaining principal balance of the 0.25% convertible senior notes as of May 31, 2018 was $1.3 million.
As of May 31, 2018, borrowings under Rialto's and Lennar Financial Services' warehouse repurchase facilities were $225.5 million and $944.6 million, respectively.

Amounts include $100.2 million remaining equity commitment to fund the Venture Fund for future expenditures related to the construction and development of projects and $202.8 million remaining equity commitment to fund Venture Fund II for future expenditures related to construction and development of projects.
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, 2018, we had access to 66,406 homesites through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At May 31, 2018, we had $249.8 million of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to certain of these homesites and had posted $53.2 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts.
At May 31, 2018, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $684.9 million (which included $53.2 million of letters of credit described above). These letters of credit are generally posted either with regulatory bodies to guarantee our performance of certain development and construction activities, or in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at May 31, 2018, we had outstanding surety bonds of $2.5 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, 2018, there were approximately $1.3 billion, or 51%, of anticipated future costs to

72



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 $4.9 billion at May 31, 2018. Loans in process for which interest rates were committed to the borrowers totaled approximately $1.0 billion as of May 31, 2018. 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, 2018, we had open commitments amounting to $1.5 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through August 2018 and open futures contracts in the amount of $728 million with settlement dates through March 2025.
(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, 2018 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, 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our investments, debt obligations, loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment. We utilize forward commitments and option contracts to mitigate the risks associated with our mortgage loan portfolio.
As part of the CalAtlantic acquisition on February 12, 2018, we became subject, on a consolidated basis, to $3.9 billion of senior notes payable and other debts payable.
As of May 31, 2018, we had $950 million outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.
In May 2018, we redeemed $575 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.375% Senior Notes due 2018.
During the three months ended May 31, 2018, holders of $6.7 million principal amount of CalAtlantic’s 1.625% convertible senior notes due 2018 and $266.2 million principal amount of CalAtlantic’s 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2019 either had been converted or redeemed. The remaining principal balance of the 0.25% convertible senior notes as of May 31, 2018 was $1.3 million.

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, 2018 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, 2018. That evaluation did not identify any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than the need to transition CalAtlantic's internal controls to our internal control system.
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.
In July 2017, CalAtlantic Group, Inc., a subsidiary of ours, was notified by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board of CalAtlantic’s non-compliance with the Clean Water Act at a development in San Ramon, CA. We expect to pay monetary sanctions to resolve this matter, which we do not currently expect will be material.
Our mortgage subsidiary has been subpoenaed by the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") regarding the adequacy of certain underwriting and quality control processes related to Federal Housing Administration loans originated and sold in prior years. We have provided information related to these loans and our processes to the DOJ, and communications are ongoing. The DOJ has to date not asserted any claim for damages or penalties.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2017.
