    MIAMI, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN
and LEN.B), one of the nation's largest homebuilders, today reported
results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 30, 2007.
Fourth quarter net loss in 2007 was $1.3 billion, or $7.92 per diluted
share, compared to a net loss of $195.6 million, or $1.24 per diluted
share, in 2006. The net loss for the year ended November 30, 2007 was $1.9
billion, or $12.31 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $593.9
million, or $3.69 per diluted share ($3.76 per basic share).

    Stuart Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lennar
Corporation, said, "While we are hopeful that recent interest rate moves by
the Federal Reserve and recent plans proffered by the Federal government
will have a stabilizing impact on the housing market, market conditions
remained depressed and, in fact, continued a downward slide through the end
of our fourth quarter."

    "Accordingly, our strategy has been to aggressively reconcile our asset
valuations to the reality of existing market conditions and to remain
primarily focused on cash generation by aggressively converting inventory
into cash. As is reflected in our year-end numbers, we have taken
meaningful steps along these lines."

    Mr. Miller continued, "To that end, we have continued to price homes to
current market conditions, build-out our inventory, deliver our backlog and
maintain low inventory levels. We have significantly reduced our operations
in each market to reflect the sales pace of the market."

    "Additionally, we have finalized a number of strategic land and joint
venture transactions and walked away from option deposits in order to
generate or protect cash to fortify our balance sheet. As a result, our
land inventory and homes under construction have declined throughout the
second half of 2007."

    "As a by-product of our strategic fourth quarter moves, we have
generated losses that have resulted in the receipt of a cash tax refund of
$852 million subsequent to the close of the quarter."

    Mr. Miller concluded, "As we look ahead to 2008, we are not expecting
market conditions to improve, and perhaps might continue to decline in the
near term. Nevertheless, the strength of our balance sheet, bolstered by
the cash generated through our fourth quarter strategic moves, will keep us
well positioned to weather these turbulent times. Additionally, our
management focus on right-sizing our business, revising our product
offering and reducing construction costs, together with our restated land
positions that reflect current market conditions, will provide the
springboard from which we will rebuild margins once the market does
stabilize."


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2007 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2006 Homebuilding Revenues from home sales decreased 51% in the fourth quarter of 2007 to $2.0 billion from $4.0 billion in 2006. Revenues were lower primarily due to a 49% decrease in the number of home deliveries and a 4% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in 2007. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, decreased to 6,810 homes in the fourth quarter of 2007 from 13,285 homes last year. In the fourth quarter of 2007, new home deliveries were lower in each of the Company's homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other, compared to 2006. The average sales price of homes delivered decreased to $291,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 from $302,000 in 2006, primarily due to higher sales incentives offered to homebuyers ($58,800 per home delivered in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $47,300 per home delivered last year). Gross margins on home sales excluding FAS 144 inventory valuation adjustments were $240.4 million, or 12.1%, in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $576.6 million, or 14.4%, in the same quarter of 2006. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to last year in all of the Company's homebuilding segments primarily due to higher sales incentives offered to homebuyers. Gross margins on home sales were $15.6 million, or 0.8%, in the fourth quarter of 2007, which included $224.8 million of FAS 144 inventory valuation adjustments, compared to gross margins on home sales of $336.8 million, or 8.4%, in the fourth quarter of 2006, which included $239.8 million of FAS 144 inventory valuation adjustments. Gross margins on home sales excluding FAS 144 valuation adjustments is a non-GAAP financial measure disclosed by certain of the Company's competitors and has been presented because the Company finds it useful in evaluating its performance and believes that it helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare its operations with those of its competitors. Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced by $185.5 million, or 38%, in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to reductions in associate headcount and variable selling expenses. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 15.1% in the fourth quarter of 2007, from 12.1% in 2006. The 300 basis point increase was primarily due to lower revenues. Loss on land sales totaled $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007, which included $740.4 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments on the inventory acquired by the Morgan Stanley land investment venture discussed below, $229.7 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments and $217.6 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to 12,500 homesites under option that the Company does not intend to purchase. In the fourth quarter of 2006, loss on land sales totaled $119.9 million, which included $33.3 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments and $111.1 million of write- offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to 9,400 homesites that were under option. In November 2007, the Company and Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund II, L.P., an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., formed a strategic land investment venture to acquire, develop, manage and sell residential real estate. The Company acquired a 20% ownership interest and 50% voting rights in the land investment venture. Concurrent with the formation of the land investment venture, the Company sold a diversified portfolio of its land to the venture for $525 million. The properties acquired by the new entity consist of approximately 11,000 homesites in 32 communities located throughout the country. The properties sold by the Company had a net book value of approximately $1.3 billion. As part of the transaction, the Company entered into option agreements and obtained rights of first offer providing the Company the opportunity to purchase certain finished homesites. The exercise price of the options is based on a fixed percentage of the future home price. The Company has no obligation to exercise these options and cannot acquire a majority of the entity's assets. The Company is managing the land investment venture's operations and receives fees for its services. The Company will also receive disproportionate distributions if the investment venture exceeds certain financial targets. Due to the Company's continuing involvement, the transaction did not qualify as a sale under GAAP; thus, the inventory remained on the Company's balance sheet as of November 30, 2007. In connection with the transaction, the Company recorded a FAS 144 valuation adjustment of $740.4 million on the inventory acquired by the investment venture. Equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $194.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, which included $191.5 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments related to assets of the Company's investments in unconsolidated entities, compared to equity in loss from unconsolidated entities of $59.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, which included $109.7 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments related to assets of the Company's investments in unconsolidated entities. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded goodwill impairments of $173.7 million related to its homebuilding operations. Management fees and other expense, net, totaled $83.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, which included $85.8 million of valuation adjustments, compared to management fees and other income, net, of $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, net of $14.5 million of valuation adjustments. Minority interest income, net was $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to minority interest expense of $1.4 million, in the fourth quarter of 2006. Sales of land, equity in loss from unconsolidated entities, management fees and other income (expense), net and minority interest income (expense), net may vary significantly from period to period depending on the timing of land sales and other transactions entered into by the Company and unconsolidated entities in which it has investments. Financial Services Operating loss for the Financial Services segment was $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to operating earnings of $42.9 million last year. The decline in profitability was due to overall weakness in the housing market, which led to a decrease in volume and transactions for the mortgage and title operations compared to last year. Corporate General and Administrative Expenses Corporate general and administrative expenses were reduced by $1.7 million, or 5%, in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses increased to 1.6% in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to 0.8% in the same period last year, primarily due to lower revenues.
YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2007 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2006 Homebuilding Revenues from home sales decreased 36% in the year ended November 30, 2007 to $9.5 billion from $14.9 billion in 2006. Revenues were lower primarily due to a 33% decrease in the number of home deliveries and a 6% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in 2007. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, decreased to 31,582 homes in the year ended November 30, 2007 from 47,032 homes last year. In the year ended November 30, 2007, new home deliveries were lower in each of the Company's homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other, compared to 2006. The average sales price of homes delivered decreased to $297,000 in the year ended November 30, 2007 from $315,000 in 2006, primarily due to higher sales incentives offered to homebuyers ($48,000 per home delivered in 2007, compared to $32,000 per home delivered in 2006). Gross margins on home sales excluding inventory valuation adjustments were $1.3 billion, or 13.9%, in the year ended November 30, 2007, compared to $3.0 billion, or 20.3%, in 2006. Gross margin percentage on home sales decreased compared to last year in all of the Company's homebuilding segments primarily due to higher sales incentives offered to homebuyers. Gross margins on home sales were $570.7 million, or 6.0%, in the year ended November 30, 2007, which included $747.8 million of FAS 144 inventory valuation adjustments, compared to gross margins on home sales of $2.7 billion, or 18.4%, in the year ended November 30, 2006, which included $280.5 million of FAS 144 inventory valuation adjustments. Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced by $396.6 million, or 22%, in the year ended November 30, 2007, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to reductions in associate headcount and variable selling expenses. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 14.5% in the year ended November 30, 2007, from 11.9% in 2006. The 260 basis point increase was primarily due to lower revenues. Loss on land sales totaled $1.7 billion in the year ended November 30, 2007, which included $740.4 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments on the inventory acquired by the Morgan Stanley land investment venture previously discussed, $426.9 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments and $530.0 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to 36,900 homesites under option that the Company does not intend to purchase. In the year ended November 30, 2006, loss on land sales totaled $30.0 million, which included $69.1 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments and $152.2 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to 24,200 homesites that were under option. Equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $362.9 million in the year ended November 30, 2007, which included $364.2 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments related to the assets of the Company's investments in unconsolidated entities, compared to equity in loss from unconsolidated entities of $12.5 million in the year ended November 30, 2006, which included $126.4 million of FAS 144 valuation adjustments related to the assets of the Company's investments in unconsolidated entities last year. During the year ended November 30, 2007, the Company recorded goodwill impairments of $190.2 million related to its homebuilding operations. Management fees and other expense, net, totaled $76.0 million in the year ended November 30, 2007, which included $132.2 million of valuation adjustments, compared to management fees and other income, net, of $66.6 million in the year ended November 30, 2006, net of $14.5 million of valuation adjustments. Minority interest expense, net was $1.9 million and $13.4 million, respectively, in the years ended November 30, 2007 and 2006. Sales of land, equity in loss from unconsolidated entities, management fees and other income (expense), net and minority interest expense, net may vary significantly from period to period depending on the timing of land sales and other transactions entered into by the Company and unconsolidated entities in which it has investments. In February 2007, the Company's LandSource joint venture admitted MW Housing Partners as a new strategic partner. As part of the transaction, the joint venture obtained $1.6 billion of non-recourse financing, which consisted of a $200 million five-year Revolving Credit Facility, a $1.1 billion six-year Term Loan B Facility and a $244 million seven-year Second Lien Term Facility. The transaction resulted in a cash distribution to the Company of $707.6 million, but reduced the Company's resulting ownership of LandSource to 16%. If LandSource reaches certain financial targets, the Company will have a disproportionate share of the entity's future positive net cash flow. As a result of the recapitalization, the Company recognized a pretax gain of $175.9 million in 2007 and could potentially recognize additional profits in future years, in addition to profits from its continuing ownership interest. Financial Services Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $6.1 million in the year ended November 30, 2007, compared to $149.8 million last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in profitability from both the segment's mortgage and title operations and $28.4 million of partial write- offs of land seller notes receivable. The decline in profitability was due to the overall weakness in the housing market, which led to a decrease in volume and transactions for the mortgage and title operations compared to last year. Corporate General and Administrative Expenses Corporate general and administrative expenses were reduced by $20.1 million, or 10%, in the year ended November 30, 2007, compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses increased to 1.7% in the year ended November 30, 2007, compared to 1.2% in the same period last year, primarily due to lower revenues. Amendment to Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility The Company has completed an amendment to its senior unsecured revolving credit facility that modified certain covenants, which included minimum tangible net worth, borrowing base and maximum leverage ratio, as well as added a new covenant to reduce the recourse indebtedness of joint ventures in which the Company participates. Under this amendment, the maximum amount the Company can borrow was reduced from $3.1 billion to $1.5 billion. Lennar Corporation, founded in 1954, is one of the nation's leading builders of quality homes for all generations. The Company builds affordable, move-up and retirement homes primarily under the Lennar brand name. Lennar's Financial Services segment provides primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company's homes and others.
