Lennar Earnings Miss: Revenue Strong, Profits Struggle

Lennar Corporation's fourth-quarter financial results revealed a miss on earnings per share, despite exceeding revenue forecasts. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.03, falling below the anticipated $2.21, while revenue reached $9.4 billion against an expected $9.01 billion. This performance occurred within a market challenged by affordability issues and higher interest rates.

The homebuilder observed a 4% year-over-year increase in home deliveries to 23,034 units and an 18% surge in new orders, totaling 20,018 homes. However, a 10% decline in the average sales price to $386,000 highlighted the impact of incentives aimed at attracting buyers. Gross margins on home sales saw a substantial contraction, dropping to 17.0% from 22.1% in the prior year, attributed to reduced revenue per square foot and elevated land costs.
