Lennar Corporation reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended August 31, 2025, revealing a decline in both revenue and profitability compared to the same period in the previous year. The company generated total revenues of $8.81 billion for the third quarter, down from $9.42 billion in the same quarter of 2024. For the nine-month period, revenues decreased to $24.82 billion from $25.49 billion year-over-year. Net earnings attributable to Lennar were $590.97 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, a significant drop from $1.16 billion, or $4.26 per diluted share, in the prior year’s third quarter.
The decline in revenue and earnings was attributed to a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered, which fell to $383,000 in the third quarter of 2025 from $422,000 in the same quarter of 2024. Despite a slight increase in the number of homes delivered—21,584 homes in Q3 2025 compared to 21,516 in Q3 2024—the overall sales volume was impacted by market conditions and affordability challenges. Gross margins on home sales also decreased, reflecting higher land costs and lower revenue per square foot, resulting in a gross margin percentage of 17.5% for the quarter, down from 22.5% a year earlier.
Strategically, Lennar completed the spin-off of Millrose Properties, Inc. in February 2025, distributing approximately 80% of Millrose's stock to its shareholders. This move is part of Lennar's strategy to become a more asset-light, pure-play home manufacturing company. Additionally, the company acquired Rausch Coleman Homes, expanding its footprint into new markets across several states, including Arkansas and Oklahoma. This acquisition is expected to enhance Lennar's operational capabilities and market reach.
Operationally, Lennar reported a total of 1,664 active communities as of August 31, 2025, with a backlog of 16,953 homes valued at approximately $6.65 billion. The company also noted an increase in its inventory levels, with total inventories rising to $13.38 billion, reflecting a strategic focus on land acquisition and development. The company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased to $1.76 billion from $4.31 billion a year earlier, primarily due to increased investments in land and construction costs.
Looking ahead, Lennar anticipates selling between 20,000 to 21,000 homes and delivering between 22,000 and 23,000 homes in the fourth quarter of 2025. The average sales price is expected to range between $380,000 and $390,000, with a projected margin of approximately 17.5%. The company remains optimistic about future demand as mortgage rates stabilize, and it continues to focus on leveraging technology to enhance its operations and maintain a competitive edge in the housing market.
