Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
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 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) 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, 2018. 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 months ended February 28, 2019 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.
Recently Adopted 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 requires 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. ASU 2014-09 became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. 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), ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, 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 had the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company has adopted the modified retrospective method. The Company recorded an immaterial net increase to retained earnings during the three months ended February 28, 2019, due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, with the impact primarily related to the recognition of deferral of net margin from home deliveries.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting across all industries by clarifying certain existing principles in ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows , including providing additional guidance on how and what an entity should consider in determining the classification of certain cash flows. ASU 2016-15 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash, effective December 1, 2018.
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (Continued)
The amendments in the standard require that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. As a result, the Company's beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash balances presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows were retrospectively adjusted to include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents.
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, the Company removed the presentation of cash dividends per each Class A and Class B common share from the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). This is now disclosed with the analysis of changes in stockholders' equity within Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities 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 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of addressing whether transactions involving in-substance nonfinancial assets, held directly or in a subsidiary, should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of nonfinancial assets or of businesses. ASU 2017-01 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2019 presentation. The Company's segments were adjusted to reflect Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") and certain other Rialto assets within the Financial Services segment effective December 1, 2018. The remaining assets retained related to the Company's former Rialto segment were included in the Lennar Other segment. In addition, the Company's strategic technology investments, which were part of Homebuilding, were reclassified to be included in the Lennar Other segment. These reclassifications were between segments and had no impact on the Company's total assets, total equity, revenue or net income in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 $3.3 billion allocated to Homebuilding goodwill and the $175 million allocated to Financial Services goodwill is final and represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(2) | 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 allocation of goodwill among the Company's reporting segments included $1.1 billion to Homebuilding East, $495.0 million to Homebuilding Central, $342.2 million to Homebuilding Texas, $1.4 billion to Homebuilding West, and $175.4 million to 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. |
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (Continued)
Homebuilding revenue and net earnings attributable to Lennar for the three months ended February 28, 2018 included $373.4 million of home sales revenues and $108.5 million of a pre-tax loss from CalAtlantic since the date of acquisition to February 28, 2018, which included acquisition and integration costs of $104.2 million from both Lennar and CalAtlantic. These transaction expenses were included within acquisition and integration costs related to CalAtlantic in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2018.
| |
(3) | Operating and Reporting Segments |
The Company's homebuilding operations construct and sell homes primarily for first-time, move-up and active adult homebuyers primarily under the Lennar brand name. In addition, the Company's homebuilding operations purchase, develop and sell land to third parties. In connection with the CalAtlantic acquisition, the Company experienced significant growth in its operations. As a result in 2018, the Company's chief operating decision makers ("CODM") reassessed how they evaluate the business and allocate resources. The CODM manage and assess the Company’s performance at a regional level. Therefore, in 2018 the Company performed an assessment of its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC 280”) and determined that each of its four homebuilding regions, financial services operations, multifamily operations and Rialto operations are its operating segments. Prior to this change, in accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC 280, the Company’s operating segments were aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. In addition, in the first quarter of 2019, as a result of the reclassification of RMF and certain other Rialto assets from the Rialto segment to the Financial Services segment effective December 1, 2018, the Company has renamed the Rialto segment as "Lennar Other" and included in this segment certain strategic technology investments, which were reclassified from Homebuilding to Lennar Other. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 2019 presentation. The Company’s reportable segments consist of:
(1) Homebuilding East
(2) Homebuilding Central
(3) Homebuilding Texas
(4) Homebuilding West
(5) Financial Services
(6) Multifamily
(7) Lennar Other
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, other revenues from management fees and forfeited deposits, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, and selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment.
The Company’s reportable Homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately have homebuilding divisions located in:
East: Florida, New Jersey, North and South Carolina
Central: Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota and Virginia
Texas: Texas
West: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington
Other: Urban divisions and other homebuilding related investments, including FivePoint
Operations of the Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title and closing services primarily for buyers of the Company’s homes as well as property and casualty insurance. It also includes originating and selling into securitizations commercial mortgage loans through its RMF business. The Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period of time 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. Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title and closing services, and property and casualty insurance, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations as well as in other states.
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (Continued)
Operations of the Multifamily segment include revenues generated from the sales of land, revenue from construction activities, and management and promote fees generated from joint ventures and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other gains (which includes sales of buildings), less the cost of sales of land sold, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses.
Operations of the Lennar Other segment include operating earnings (loss) consisting of revenues generated primarily from the Company's share of carried interests in the Rialto fund investments retained after the sale of Rialto's asset and investment management platform, along with equity in earnings (loss) from the Rialto fund investments and strategic technology investments, and other income (expense), net from the remaining assets related to the Company's former Rialto segment.
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, 2018. The Company's 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.

As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company’s recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $924.1 million and $870.2 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of both February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018 was $1.2 billion. 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. Included in the Company's recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is the Company's 40% ownership of FivePoint, a publicly traded entity. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018 the carrying amount of the Company's investment was $362.1 million and $342.7 million, respectively.
During the three months ended February 28, 2018, the Company sold 80% of a strategic joint venture to a third-party resulting in a gain of $164.9 million recorded in Homebuilding other income, net within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, the Company and its partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities.
The total debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments, including Lennar's maximum recourse exposure, were as follows: |
| | | | | | |
(Dollars in thousands) | February 28, 2019 | | November 30, 2018 |

| |
(1) | As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company's maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to the Company providing repayment guarantees on three and four unconsolidated entities' debt, respectively. |
In most instances in which the Company has guaranteed debt of a 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
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (Continued)
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 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 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 February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the fair values of the repayment guarantees, maintenance guarantees, and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of February 28, 2019, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a 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 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

On February 8, 2019, the Company paid cash dividends of $0.04 per share for both its Class A and Class B common stock to holders of record at the close of business on January 25, 2019, as declared by its Board of Directors on January 10, 2019. The Company approved and paid cash dividends of $0.04 per share for both its Class A and Class B common stock in each quarter for the year ended November 30, 2018.
In January 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to the lesser of $1 billion in value, or 25 million in shares of the Company's outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The repurchase has no expiration date. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, under this repurchase program, the Company repurchased one million shares of its Class A common stock for approximately $47.0 million at an average share price of $46.98.
The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were as follows: |

(1) | For the three months ended February 28, 2019, the effective tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by solar tax credits. For the three months ended February 28, 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 and state income tax expense, offset primarily by tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction and solar tax credits. Excluding the impact of the write down of the deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2018 was 23.8%. |
As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company's deferred tax assets, net, included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $449.2 million and $515.5 million, respectively.
As of both February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company had $14.7 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits.
At February 28, 2019, the Company had $53.6 million accrued for interest and penalties, of which $0.7 million was accrued during the three months ended February 28, 2019. At November 30, 2018, the Company had $52.9 million accrued for interest and penalties.
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") is considered participating securities.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows: |

In addition, as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, other liabilities also included forward contracts carried at fair value of $1.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively. |
Consistent with the Company's reversion to a pure-play homebuilder, during the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company sold the majority of its retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter, substantially all of its retail mortgage business and its real estate brokerage business. These transactions resulted in a net gain of $1.7 million.
In connection with the sale of the majority of its retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter, the Company provided seller financing and received a substantial minority equity ownership stake in the buyer. The combination of both the equity and debt components of this transaction caused the transaction not to meet the accounting requirements for sale treatment and, therefore, the Company is required to consolidate the buyer’s results at this time.
At February 28, 2019, the Financial Services warehouse facilities used to fund residential mortgages were as follows: |

| |

The Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its residential 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
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (Continued)
were $771.5 million and $1.3 billion at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively, and were collateralized by residential mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $801.1 million and $1.3 billion at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting receivables on loans sold but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.
Substantially all of the residential loans the 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 residential 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 Financial Services’ liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's commercial loan originations and securitization activities were $122.6 million and $178.8 million as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, 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 Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.
Investments held-to-maturity
At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of Financial Services' commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") was $167.4 million and $137.0 million, respectively. These securities were purchased at discounts ranging from 6% to 84% with coupon rates ranging from 1.3% to 5.3%, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and December 2028, and stated maturity dates between November 2043 and March 2059. The Financial Services segment reviews changes in estimated cash flows periodically to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on its CMBS. Based on the segment’s assessment, no impairment charges were recorded during either the three months ended February 28, 2019 or 2018. The Financial Services segment classifies these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. The Company has financing agreements to finance CMBS that have been purchased as investments by the Financial Services segment. At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of outstanding debt in these agreements was $155.9 million and $123.7 million, respectively, and the interest is incurred at a fixed rate of 3.2% to 4.1%.
The Company is actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development, construction and property management of multifamily rental properties. The Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.

The unconsolidated entities in which the 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 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 increase 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 February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. Additionally, as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Multifamily segment had $1.9 million and $4.6 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 are included in the disclosure in Note 12 related to the Company's

performance and financial letters of credit. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $926.3 million and $1.0 billion, respectively.
In many instances, the Multifamily segment is appointed as the construction, development and property manager for certain of its Multifamily unconsolidated entities and receives fees for performing this function. During the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, the Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of $13.1 million and $11.5 million, respectively.
The 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 months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, the Multifamily segment provided general contractor services, net of deferrals, totaling $82.4 million and $81.7 million, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of $79.4 million and $78.6 million, respectively.
The Multifamily Venture Fund I (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 three months ended February 28, 2019, $64.8 million in equity commitments were called, of which the Company contributed its portion of $16.2 million. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company received $4.9 million of distributions as a return of capital from the Venture Fund. As of February 28, 2019, $1.8 billion of the $2.2 billion in equity commitments had been called, of which the Company had contributed $457.0 million, representing its pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for the Company of $47.0 million. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of the Company's investment in the Venture Fund was $390.7 million and $383.4 million, respectively.
In March 2018, the Multifamily segment completed the first closing of a second Multifamily Venture, Multifamily Venture II LP ("Venture Fund II"), for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. As of February 28, 2019, Venture Fund II had approximately $787 million of equity commitments, including a $255 million co-investment commitment by Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, $26.8 million in equity commitments were called, of which the Company contributed its portion of $8.7 million. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company received $6.3 million of distributions as a return of capital from the Venture Fund II. As of February 28, 2019, $262.2 million of the $787 million in equity commitments had been called, of which the Company had contributed $83.8 million, representing its pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for the Company of $171.2 million. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Venture Fund II was $65.2 million and $63.0 million, respectively. The difference between the Company's net contributions and the carrying value of the Company's investments was related to a basis difference. Venture Fund II was seeded initially with eight undeveloped multifamily assets that were previously purchased by the Multifamily segment totaling approximately 3,000 apartments with projected project costs of approximately $1.3 billion.
Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

Investments held-to-maturity
At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of the Lennar Other's CMBS was $60.2 million and $60.0 million, respectively. These securities were purchased at discounts ranging from 6.5% to 86.1% with coupon rates ranging from 1.3% to 4.0%, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and October 2026, and stated maturity dates between November 2049 and March 2059. The Company reviews changes in estimated cash flows periodically to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on its CMBS. Based on the Company’s assessment, no impairment charges were recorded during either the three months ended February 28, 2019 or 2018. The Company classifies these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. The Company has financing agreements to finance CMBS that have been purchased as investments by the segment. At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of outstanding debt in these agreements was $13.1 million and $12.6 million, respectively, and the interest is incurred at a rate of 4.6% to 5.0%.

(11) | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Due to the short maturity period of cash equivalents, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values. Homebuilding restricted cash consists of customer deposits on home sales held in restricted accounts until title transfers to the homebuyer, as required by the state and local governments in which the homes were sold, as well as funds on deposit to secure and support performance obligations. Financial Services’ restricted cash primarily consists of cash balances required by certain warehouse lines of credit agreements and proceeds from loan sales not yet remitted to warehouse bank.

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 in the table above are net of debt issuance costs of $29.0 million and $31.2 million as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively.
At February 28, 2019, the Company had an unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with maximum borrowings of $2.6 billion. The maturity for $2.2 billion of the Credit Facility is April 2023 and the remaining $50 million matures in June 2020. As of February 28, 2019, the Credit Facility included a $315 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 February 28, 2019. In addition, the Company had $335 million of letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.
The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were $606.0 million and $598.4 million, at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were $153.7 million and $165.4 million, at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, 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 February 28, 2019, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $2.9 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 February 28, 2019, there were approximately $1.4 billion, or 50%, 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.
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.
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 Homebuilding other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The activity in the Company’s warranty reserve was as follows: |

(15) | Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures |
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, 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:
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.
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.
Lennar Other—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.
Multifamily—For notes payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and the short-term nature of the borrowings.
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 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:
RMF 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.
Financial Services residential 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 Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.
Financial Services investments available-for-sale - The fair value of these investments is based on the quoted market prices for similar financial instruments.
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 Financial Services segment has committed to originate the loans. The fair value of commitments to sell loan contracts is the estimated amount that the Financial Services segment would receive or pay to terminate the commitments at the reporting date based on market prices for similar financial instruments. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics. The fair value of the mortgage loan commitments and related servicing rights is included in Financial Services’ other assets.
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 Financial Services segment's other liabilities as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018.
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (Continued)
The 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 February 28, 2019, the segment had open commitments amounting to $1.3 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through April 2019.
Financial Services mortgage servicing rights - 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 February 28, 2019, the key assumptions used in determining the fair value include a 13.0% mortgage prepayment rate, a 12.4% discount rate and an 8.5% delinquency rate. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is included in the Financial Services segment's other assets.

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, 2018.
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 February 28, 2019 and 2018, there were 1,287 and 1,340 active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, respectively. As of February 28, 2019, the Company identified 54 communities with 3,513 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $463.5 million as having potential indicators of impairment. For the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recorded no valuation adjustments related to these communities.
As of February 28, 2018, the Company identified 20 communities with 1,184 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $267.6 million as having potential indicators of impairment. For the three months ended February 28, 2018, the Company recorded valuation adjustments of $6.9 million on 114 homesites in one community with a carrying value of $17.5 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 three months ended February 28, 2018: |

The Company evaluated the joint venture agreements of its joint ventures that were formed or that had reconsideration events, such as changes in the governing documents or to debt arrangements, during the three months ended February 28, 2019. Based on the Company's evaluation, during the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company consolidated three entities that had a total combined assets and liabilities of $260.2 million and $228.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, there were no VIEs that were deconsolidated.
Consolidated VIEs
As of February 28, 2019, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $1.0 billion and $528.4 million, respectively. As of November 30, 2018, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $666.2 million and $242.5 million, respectively. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the VIEs, not the Company.
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (Continued)
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.
Unconsolidated VIEs
At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company’s recorded investments in VIEs that are unconsolidated and its estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows: |

(1) | As of both February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the maximum exposure to loss of Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to repayment guarantees of unconsolidated entities' debt of $50.2 million and $54.8 million, respectively. |
| |
(2) | As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the remaining equity commitment of $218.2 million and $237.0 million, respectively, 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. In addition, at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the maximum exposure to loss of Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $1.9 million and $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. |
| |
(3) | At both February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of the Financial Services segment was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated entities VIEs. At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, investments in unconsolidated VIEs and Financial Services' maximum exposure to loss included $167.4 million and $137.0 million, respectively, related to the Financial Services' CMBS investments held-to-maturity. |
| |
(4) | At both February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of the Lennar Other segment was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated entities VIEs. At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, investments in unconsolidated VIEs and Lennar’s maximum exposure to loss included $60.2 million and $60.0 million, respectively, related to the Lennar Other segment's investments held-to-maturity. |
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 and the Company and its partners are not de-facto agents. 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 February 28, 2019, the Company and other partners did not have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs, except for $218.2 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 $1.9 million of letters of credit outstanding for certain 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 $50.2 million repayment guarantees of one unconsolidated entity's 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.
Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (Continued)
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 three months ended February 28, 2019, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $93.0 million with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2019. The increase was primarily related to the consolidation of an option agreement with a third party land bank, partially offset by the Company exercising its options to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, the Company had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2019. 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 $226.4 million and $209.5 million at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. Additionally, the Company had posted $69.2 million and $72.4 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively.

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 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. In February 2019, the Company paid monetary sanctions that were not material to resolve this matter.

(18) | New Accounting Pronouncements |
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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued ASUs 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-02, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses standard. This ASU will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning December 1, 2020 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses. This ASU does not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses standard. This ASU will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13.
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

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 February 28, 2019 they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, disclosed in Note 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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.

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, 2018.
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: an extended slowdown in the real estate markets across the nation, including a slowdown in the market for single family homes or the multifamily rental market; increases in operating costs, including costs related to real estate taxes, construction materials, labor and insurance, and our inability to manage our cost structure, both in our Homebuilding and Multifamily businesses; reduced availability of mortgage financing or increased interest rates; our inability to realize all of the anticipated synergy benefits from the CalAtlantic acquisition or to realize them in the anticipated timeline; our inability to successfully execute our strategies; 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 multifamily rental properties; 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; our inability to pay down debt and opportunistically repurchase our stock; 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; 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, 2018 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
Higher home prices and rapid interest rate increases at the end of 2018 combined to create an imbalance between home prices and buyer expectations, thus creating a pause in the housing market. However, in the first quarter of 2019, interest rates moderated and home price appreciation flattened and even pulled back slightly driving an increase in traffic on both our website and at our welcome home centers. While some of this activity is seasonal, we have seen a noticeable shift in homebuyer sentiment as traffic and sales accelerated during the quarter. Therefore, we believe the market has started to correct itself and we are optimistic that demand driven by strong employment, wage growth, higher participation rate, consumer confidence and economic growth will continue to accelerate through the spring selling season as the consumer returns to a more affordable housing market. The supply of dwellings both for sale and for rent continues to be short and underlying demand remains strong.
Along with the recent market signals, we will continue to benefit from the size and scale we have amassed in each of our strategic markets as reflected in our consistent improvement in SG&A. Our SG&A in the quarter was 9.5% as a percentage of revenues from home sales, which is an all-time first quarter low and highlights the power of our increased local market scale and operating leverage. Additionally, our significant technology initiatives around the company continue to provide significant opportunities as we enhance our customer interface, create efficiencies in internal operations, and reduce both our SG&A and our
cost structure. In addition, our core homebuilding earnings are growing at a much faster rate than revenues, demonstrating our increased operating efficiencies.
Along with our strategic production focus, we are focused on becoming the 'Builder of Choice' for the construction trades. These important relationships will be particularly relevant as we ramp up production during the year and remain on target to meet our 2019 synergy goals.
We expect to generate strong cash flow for the remainder of 2019 and expect to continue to use excess cash flow to both pay down debt while opportunistically repurchasing our stock. We continue to shed non-core assets to generate additional cash flow and advance our strategy of being a pure-play homebuilder. We expect that our main driver of earnings will continue to be our homebuilding and financial services operations as we believe we will deliver between 50,000 and 51,000 homes in fiscal year 2019.
(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 months ended February 28, 2019 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 and third fiscal quarters 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 $239.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share ($0.74 per basic share), in the first quarter of 2019, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $136.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share ($0.53 per basic share), in the first quarter of 2018.

Effects of CalAtlantic Acquisition
In fiscal year 2018, we exceeded our initial $100 million synergy savings expectations from the CalAtlantic Group, Inc. ("CalAtlantic") acquisition by $70 million and we believe we are on track to meet our $380 million synergies target for 2019. 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.

Three Months Ended February 28, 2019 versus Three Months Ended February 28, 2018
On February 12, 2018, we completed our acquisition of CalAtlantic. Prior year information includes CalAtlantic only after the acquisition date.
Revenues from home sales increased 36% in the first quarter of 2019 to $3.6 billion from $2.6 billion in the first quarter of 2018. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 31% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 4% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 8,802 homes in the first quarter of 2019 from 6,734 homes in the first quarter of 2018, primarily as a result of the significant increase in volume resulting from the CalAtlantic acquisition. The average sales price of homes delivered was $410,000 in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $393,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in average sales price primarily resulted from the CalAtlantic acquisition. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $25,300 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2019, or 5.8% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $22,300 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2018, or 5.4% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $25,000 per home delivered in the fourth quarter of 2018, or 5.6% as a percentage of home sales revenue.
Gross margins on home sales were $726.1 million, or 20.1%, in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $516.6 million, or 19.5%, in the first quarter of 2018. The gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily because the first quarter of 2018 included $55.0 million or 210 basis points of backlog/construction in progress write-up related to purchase accounting adjustments on CalAtlantic homes that were delivered in that quarter. There was also an increase in average sales price in the first quarter of 2019, offset by higher construction costs and increased sales incentives.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $343.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $257.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 9.5% in the first quarter of 2019, from 9.7% in the first quarter of 2018, due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries and continued benefit from technology initiatives.
Other homebuilding revenue, gross margin on land sales, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities and Homebuilding other income (expense), net, totaled a net loss of $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to net income of $154.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. In the first quarter of 2019, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of net operating losses from our unconsolidated entities. In the first quarter of 2018, Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to our share of valuation adjustments related to assets of Homebuilding's unconsolidated entities and our share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities. Homebuilding other income (expense), net, was ($1.5) million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $170.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. Homebuilding other income, net, in the first quarter of 2018 was primarily related to a gain on the sale of an 80% interest in one of Homebuilding's strategic joint ventures, Treasure Island Holdings.
Homebuilding interest expense was $64.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 ($61.3 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.3 million in costs of land sold and $3.0 million in Homebuilding other income (expense), net) compared to $51.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 ($48.3 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.4 million in costs of land sold
and $2.4 million in Homebuilding other income (expense), net). Interest expense included in costs of homes sold increased primarily due to an increase in home deliveries.
Operating earnings for our Financial Services segment were $21.8 million in the first quarter of 2019 (which included $19.0 million of operating earnings and an add back of $2.8 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). Operating earnings in the first quarter of 2018 were $25.9 million. Operating earnings were impacted by the sale of non-core businesses in the first quarter of 2019 and a decrease in Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") securitization revenues as a result of lower volume and margins.
During the first quarter of 2019, we sold the majority of our retail title agency business and our wholly owned title insurance carrier. In addition, we sold our real estate brokerage business, which operated only in Florida, and substantially all of our retail mortgage business.
Operating earnings for our Multifamily segment were $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to the segment's $15.5 million share of gains as a result of the sale of an operating property by Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and the sale of an investment in an operating property, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the first quarter of 2018, our Multifamily segment had an operating loss of $1.2 million primarily due to general and administrative expenses partially offset by the segment's $4.1 million share of a gain as a result of the sale of one operating property by one of Multifamily's unconsolidated entities and management fee income.
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $79.3 million, or 2.1% as a percentage of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $67.8 million, or 2.3% as a percentage of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues was due to improved operating leverage as a result of an increase in home deliveries.
In the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, we had tax provisions of $79.7 million and $132.6 million, respectively. Our overall effective income tax rates were 24.9% and 49.3% in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2019 included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by solar tax credits. For the three months ended February 28, 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 and state income tax expense, offset primarily by tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction, and solar tax credits. Excluding the impact of the write down of the deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2018 was 23.8%.
Homebuilding Segments
In connection with the CalAtlantic acquisition, we experienced significant growth in our homebuilding operations. As a result, at the end of fiscal 2018, our chief operating decision makers ("CODM") reassessed how they evaluate the business and allocate resources. The CODM manage and assess our performance at a regional level. Therefore, in 2018 we performed an assessment of our operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC 280”) and determined that each of our four homebuilding regions, financial services operations, multifamily operations and Rialto operations are our operating segments. Prior to this change, in accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC 280, our operating segments were aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. In addition, in first quarter of 2019, as a result of the reclassification of RMF and certain other Rialto assets from the Rialto segment to the Financial Services segment effective December 1, 2018, we renamed the Rialto segment as "Lennar Other" and included in this segment certain strategic technology investments, which were reclassified from the Homebuilding segments to Lennar Other. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 2019 presentation. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to Homebuilding segments are to those four reportable segments.
At February 28, 2019, our reportable Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other consisted of homebuilding divisions located in:
East: Florida, New Jersey, North and South Carolina
Central: Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Tennessee and Virginia
Texas: Texas
West: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington
Other: Urban divisions and other homebuilding related investments, including FivePoint
The following tables set forth selected financial and operational information related to our homebuilding operations for the periods indicated:

(1) | During the three months ended February 28, 2018, we acquired a total of 6,940 homes in backlog in connection with the CalAtlantic acquisition. Of the homes in backlog acquired, 2,305 homes were in the East, 1,342 homes were in the Central, 953 homes were in Texas and 2,340 homes were in the West. |
Backlog represents the number of homes under sales contracts. Homes are sold using sales contracts, which are generally accompanied by sales deposits. In some instances, purchasers are permitted to cancel sales if they fail to qualify for financing or under certain other circumstances. We do not recognize revenue on homes under sales contracts until the sales are closed and title passes to the new homeowners.
We experienced cancellation rates in our Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding other as follows: |

Three Months Ended February 28, 2019 versus Three Months Ended February 28, 2018
Homebuilding East: Revenues from home sales increased in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, 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 and the Carolinas partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in New Jersey. 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 and the Carolinas was primarily due to an increase in home deliveries in higher-priced communities, including higher-priced communities acquired from CalAtlantic. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in New Jersey 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 deliveries in the first quarter of 2019 decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to increases in construction costs, partially offset by 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 in the first quarter of 2018.
Homebuilding Central: Revenues from home sales increased in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment, except in Tennessee, and an increase in the average sales price in Georgia, Illinois and Tennessee. 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 Tennessee was primarily due to a decrease in deliveries per 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. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in Maryland, Minnesota, and Virginia 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 deliveries in the first quarter of 2019 increased 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 in the first quarter of 2018. This was partially offset by higher construction costs and increased sales incentives.
Homebuilding Texas: Revenues from home sales increased in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries and the average sales price. The increase in the number of home deliveries was primarily due to an increase in active communities due to communities acquired from CalAtlantic. 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. Gross margin percentage on home deliveries in the first quarter of 2019 increased 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 in the first quarter of 2018 and decreased sales incentives. This was partially offset by higher construction costs.
Homebuilding West: Revenues from home sales increased in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all the states in the segment and an increase in the average sales price in all states in the segment, except Utah. The increase in the number of home deliveries was primarily due to an increase in active communities due to communities acquired from CalAtlantic. 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. The decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered in Utah 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 deliveries in the first quarter of 2019 increased 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 in the first quarter of 2018 and lower land costs. This was partially offset by higher construction costs and increased sales incentives.
Financial Services Segment
Our Financial Services reportable segment primarily provides mortgage financing, title and closing services primarily for buyers of our homes, as well as property and casualty insurance. The segment also originates and sells into securitizations commercial mortgage loans through its RMF business. Our Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the residential 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's Financial Services. This business operates in the same states as CalAtlantic's homebuilding divisions.
The following table sets forth selected financial and operational information related to our Financial Services segment: |

(1) Operating earnings for the three months ended February 28, 2019 included net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $2.8 million.
Consistent with our reversion to a pure-play homebuilder, during the three months ended February 28, 2019, we sold the majority of our retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter, substantially all of our retail mortgage business and our real estate brokerage business. These transactions resulted in a net gain of $1.7 million.
In connection with the sale of the majority of our retail title agency business and title insurance underwriter, we provided seller financing and received a substantial minority equity ownership stake in the buyer. Due to the combination of both the equity and debt components of this transaction, the transaction did not meet the accounting requirements for sale treatment and, therefore, we are required to consolidate the buyer’s results at this time.
At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of Financial Services' commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") was $167.4 million and $137.0 million, respectively. These securities were purchased at discounts ranging from 6% to 84% with coupon rates ranging from 1.3% to 5.3%, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and December 2028, and stated maturity dates between November 2043 and March 2059. The Financial Services segment classifies these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.
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.
During the three months ended February 28, 2019, RMF originated commercial loans with a total principal balance of $270.1 million, all of which were recorded as loans held-for-sale, and sold $200.5 million of loans into two separate securitizations. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, there were no unsettled transactions.
During the three months ended February 28, 2018, RMF originated commercial loans with a total principal balance of $238.0 million, all of which were recorded as loans held-for-sale, and sold $347.7 million of loans into three separate securitizations.
Multifamily Segment
We have been actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development, construction and property management of multifamily rental properties. Our Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.
As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, our condensed consolidated balance sheets had $1.0 billion and $874.2 million, respectively, of assets related to our Multifamily segment, which included investments in unconsolidated entities of $485.1 million and $481.1 million, respectively. Our net investment in the Multifamily segment as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018 was $785.0 million and $703.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, our Multifamily segment sold, through our unconsolidated entities, one operating property and an investment in an operating property resulting in the segment's $15.5 million share of gains. During the three months ended February 28, 2018, our Multifamily segment sold one operating property through its unconsolidated entity resulting in the segment's $4.1 million share of gains.
Our Multifamily segment had equity investments in 21 and 22 unconsolidated entities (including the Venture Fund and Multifamily Venture Fund II LP, "Venture Fund II") as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. As of February 28, 2019, our Multifamily segment had interests in 54 communities with development costs of approximately $6.3 billion, of which 22 communities were completed and operating, 6 communities were partially completed and leasing, 20 communities were under construction and the remaining communities were owned by unconsolidated entities. As of February 28, 2019, our Multifamily segment also had a pipeline of potential future projects totaling approximately $2.7 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 Multifamily segment completed the first closing of a second Multifamily Venture, Venture Fund II, for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. As of February 28, 2019, Venture Fund II had approximately $787 million of equity commitments, including a $255 million co-investment commitment by Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs.
Lennar Other Segment
Our Lennar Other segment includes fund investments we retained subsequent to the sale of the Rialto investment and asset management platform as well as strategic investments in technology companies that are looking to improve the homebuilding and financial services industries to better serve our customers and increase efficiencies. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, our balance sheet had $574.9 million and $589.0 million, respectively, of assets in the Lennar Other segment, which included investments in unconsolidated entities of $428.4 million and $424.1 million, respectively.
During the three months ended February 28, 2019, our Lennar Other segment had operating earnings of $3.1 million which primarily related to the fund investments we retained when we sold the Rialto investment and asset management platform as well as our strategic investments in technology companies. Operating earnings for the three months ended February 28, 2018 were $2.8 million which primarily included the Rialto investment and asset management platform, which was sold on November 30, 2018 and the Rialto fund investments we retained when we sold the Rialto investment and asset management platform. Our strategic investments in technology companies did not have a material impact to the Lennar Other segment for the three months ended February 28, 2018.
At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of Lennar Other's CMBS was $60.2 million and $60.0 million, respectively. These securities were purchased at discounts ranging from 6.5% to 86.1% with coupon rates ranging from 1.3% to 4.0%, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and October 2026, and stated maturity dates between November 2049 and March 2059. We classify these securities as held-to-maturity based on our intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.
(2) Financial Condition and Capital Resources
At February 28, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash related to our homebuilding, financial services, multifamily and other operations of $1.1 billion, compared to $1.6 billion at November 30, 2018 and $1.1 billion at February 28, 2018.
We finance all of our activities, including homebuilding, financial services, multifamily, other and general operating needs, primarily with cash generated from our operations, debt issuances and cash borrowed under our warehouse lines of credit and our unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility").
Operating Cash Flow Activities
During the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, cash used in operating activities totaled $524.4 million and $155.5 million, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, cash used by operating activities was impacted primarily by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases, land development and construction costs of $1.1 billion, and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $387.7 million. This was partially offset by our net earnings, a decrease in receivables of $394.7 million primarily related to a decrease in Financial Services' receivables, net, which are loans sold to investors for which we have not been paid, and a decrease in loans held-for-sale of $156.7 million.
During the three months ended February 28, 2018, cash used in operating activities was impacted primarily by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases, land development and construction costs of $548.7 million, a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $46.3 million, and an increase in other assets of $26.6 million, partially offset by our net earnings, and a decrease in loans held-for-sale of $423.0 million, of which $313.9 million related to Financial Services residential loans and $109.1 million related to RMF originated commercial loans that are reported within Financial Services segment. For the three months ended February 28, 2018, distributions of earnings from unconsolidated entities were $3.5 million, which included (1) $2.4 million from Multifamily unconsolidated entities; and (2) $1.1 million from the unconsolidated Rialto real estate funds included in our Lennar Other segment.
Investing Cash Flow Activities
During the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, cash used in investing activities totaled $78.0 million and $1.0 billion, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, our cash used in investing activities was primarily due to cash contributions of $133.9 million to unconsolidated entities, which included (1) $92.9 million to Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, (2) $33.8 million to Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital; and (3) $7.2 million to the unconsolidated Rialto real estate funds included in our Lennar Other segment. This was offset by distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities of $70.1 million, which included (1) $33.2 million from Homebuilding unconsolidated entities; (2) $12.9 million from Multifamily unconsolidated entities; (3) $12.7 million from Financial Services unconsolidated entities; and (4) $11.3 million from the unconsolidated Rialto real estate funds included in our Lennar Other segment.
During the three months ended February 28, 2018, our cash used in investing activities was primarily due to our $1.1 billion acquisition of CalAtlantic, net of cash acquired. In addition, we made cash contributions of $62.6 million to unconsolidated entities, which included (1) $35.2 million to Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital,
(2) $15.0 million to the unconsolidated Rialto real estate funds included in our Lennar Other segment, and (3) $12.4 million to Homebuilding unconsolidated entities. Cash used in investing activities was also impacted by purchases of CMBS bonds by our Lennar Other segment. This was partially offset by the receipt of $175.2 million of proceeds from the sale of an 80% interest in one of Homebuilding's strategic joint ventures, Treasure Island Holdings, $18.1 million of proceeds from the sales of REO and distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities of $20.9 million, which included (1) $12.6 million from the Rialto real estate funds unconsolidated entities included in our Lennar Other segment, (2) $5.6 million from Multifamily unconsolidated entities; and (3) $2.7 million from Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.
Financing Cash Flow Activities
During the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $69.0 million and ($450.3) million, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, cash provided by financing activities was primarily impacted by $725.0 million of net borrowings under our Credit Facilities, partially offset by $508.7 million of net repayments under our Financial Services' warehouse facilities which included the RMF warehouse repurchase facilities, $93.0 million principal payments on other borrowings and repurchases of our common stock of $49.1 million, which included $47.0 million of repurchases of our stock under our repurchase program and $2.1 million of repurchases related to employee stock and director plans.
During the three months ended February 28, 2018, cash used in financing activities was primarily impacted by (1) $344.5 million of net repayments under our warehouse facilities, which was comprised of $228.5 million of net repayments under Financial Services' residential loan warehouse repurchase facilities and $116.0 million of net repayments under RMF's warehouse repurchase facilities (2) $23.8 million of payments related to noncontrolling interests, and (3) $115.5 million of principal payments on other borrowings, which included $100.2 million of aggregate principal payment on the Lennar Other segment's 7.00% senior notes due December 2018. This was partially offset by (1) $45.3 million of net borrowings under our Credit Facilities as we repaid the amount outstanding under the CalAtlantic revolving credit facility acquired and increased borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which had $500 million outstanding as of February 28, 2018 and (2) $32.8 million of proceeds from other borrowings.
Debt to total capital ratios are financial measures commonly used in the homebuilding industry and are presented to assist in understanding the leverage of our homebuilding operations. Homebuilding debt to total capital and net Homebuilding debt to total capital are calculated as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | |

| |
(1) | Net Homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net Homebuilding debt (Homebuilding debt less Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net Homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). Our management believes the ratio of net Homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in our homebuilding operations. However, because net 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 February 28, 2019, Homebuilding debt to total capital was lower compared to February 28, 2018, as a result of an increase in stockholders' equity primarily related to our net earnings partially offset by stock repurchases, and a decrease in Homebuilding debt. At February 28, 2019, Homebuilding debt to total capital was higher compared to November 30, 2018, as a result of an increase in Homebuilding debt primarily due to an increase in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility, partially offset by an increase in stockholders' equity primarily related to our net earnings.
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 repurchase of our common stock, 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, we are also considering other types of transactions such as sales, restructurings, joint
ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings as we continue to move back towards being a pure play homebuilding company. During the first quarter of 2019, we sold the majority of our retail title agency business and its wholly owned title insurance carrier. In addition, we sold our real estate brokerage business, which operated only in Florida, and substantially all of our retail mortgage business. At February 28, 2019, we had no agreements regarding any significant transactions.

(1) | 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 in the table above are net of debt issuance costs of $29.0 million and $31.2 million as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively.
Our Homebuilding average debt outstanding was $9.0 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 4.9% for the three months ended February 28, 2019, compared to $7.2 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 4.6% for the three months ended February 28, 2018. Interest incurred related to Homebuilding debt for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $104.4 million, compared to $84.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2018.
At February 28, 2019, we had an unsecured revolving Credit Facility with maximum borrowings of $2.6 billion. The maturity for $2.2 billion of the Credit Facility is April 2023 and the remaining $50 million matures in June 2020. As of February 28, 2019, the Credit Facility included a $315 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. 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 February 28, 2019. In addition, we had $335 million of letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.
Our performance letters of credit outstanding were $606.0 million and $598.4 million, at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. Our financial letters of credit outstanding were $153.7 million and $165.4 million at
February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, 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, as credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at February 28, 2019, we had outstanding surety bonds of $2.9 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 February 28, 2019: |
| | | | | | |
(Dollars in thousands) | Covenant Level | | Level Achieved as of February 28, 2019 |
Minimum net worth test | $ | 6,650,484 |
| | 9,522,712 |
|
Maximum leverage ratio | 65.0 | % | | 44.6 | % |
Liquidity test (1) | 1.00 |
| | 2.11 |
|
| |
(1) | We are only required to maintain either (1) liquidity in an amount equal to or greater than 1.00x consolidated interest incurred for the last twelve months then ended or (2) an interest coverage ratio of equal to or greater than 1.50:1.00 for the last twelve months then ended. Although we are in compliance with our debt covenants for both calculations, we have only disclosed our liquidity test. |
The terms minimum net worth test, maximum leverage ratio, liquidity test and interest coverage ratio used in the Credit Agreement are specifically calculated per the Credit Agreement and differ in specified ways from comparable GAAP or common usage terms.
Currently, substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing all our senior notes (the "Guaranteed Notes"). The guarantees are full and unconditional. The principal reason our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing the Guaranteed Notes is so holders of the Guaranteed Notes will have rights at least as great with regard to those subsidiaries as any other holders of a material amount of our unsecured debt. Therefore, the guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes will remain in effect with regard to a guarantor subsidiary only while it guarantees a material amount of the debt of Lennar Corporation, as a separate entity, to others. At any time when a guarantor subsidiary is no longer guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes, either directly or by guaranteeing other subsidiaries’ obligations as guarantors of Lennar Corporation’s debt, the guarantor subsidiary’s guarantee of the Guaranteed Notes will be suspended. Therefore, if the guarantor subsidiaries cease guaranteeing Lennar Corporation’s obligations under our Credit Facility and our letter of credit facilities and are not guarantors of any new debt, the guarantor subsidiaries’ guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes will be suspended until such time, if any, as they again are guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes. 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.
At February 28, 2019, the Financial Services warehouse facilities used to fund residential mortgages were as follows: |

| |
(2) | Maximum aggregate commitment includes an uncommitted amount of $300 million. |
| |
(3) | Maximum aggregate commitment includes an uncommitted amount of $400 million. |
Our Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its residential mortgage 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 $771.5 million and $1.3 billion at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $801.1 million and $1.3 billion, at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. Without the facilities, our Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its residential mortgage lending activities. Since our Financial Services segment’s borrowings under the warehouse repurchase facilities are generally repaid with the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans and receivables on loans that secure those borrowings, the facilities are not likely to be a call on our current cash or future cash resources. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling mortgage loans held-for-sale and by collecting on receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for.
At February 28, 2019, the RMF warehouse facilities were as follows:

(1) | RMF 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 February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018. |
Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's commercial loan originations and securitization activities were $122.6 million and $178.8 million as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, 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 Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.
Changes in Capital Structure
In January 2019, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to the lesser of $1 billion in value, or 25 million in shares, of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, under this repurchase authorization, we repurchased one million shares of our Class A common stock for approximately $47.0 million at an average per share price of $46.98.
During the quarter ended February 28, 2019, treasury stock increased by 1.0 million shares of Class A common stock due primarily to our repurchase of one million shares of Class A common stock during the three months ended February 28, 2019 through our stock repurchase program. During the quarter ended February 28, 2018, treasury stock increased by 0.4 million shares of Class A common stock primarily due to activity related to our equity compensation plan.
On February 8, 2019, 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 January 25, 2019, as declared by our Board of Directors on January 10, 2019.
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
Homebuilding: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At both February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, we had equity investments in 51 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which at February 28, 2019, four had recourse debt, eight had non-recourse debt and 39 had no debt). 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 Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

(1) | Debt presented above is net of debt issuance costs of $11.3 million and $12.4 million, as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. |
As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, our recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $924.1 million and $870.2 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of both February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018 was $1.2 billion. The basis difference is primarily as a result of us contributing our investment in three strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings on land sales to us. Included in our recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is our 40% ownership of FivePoint, a publicly traded company. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018 the carrying amount of our investment was $362.1 million and $342.7 million, respectively.
During the three months ended February 28, 2018, we sold 80% of a strategic joint venture to a third-party resulting in a gain of $164.9 million recorded in Homebuilding other income, net within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The 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 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 our investment in one unconsolidated entity as collateral for the debt of another unconsolidated entity or commingle funds among Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.
In connection with loans to a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, we and our partners often guarantee to a lender, either jointly and severally or on a several basis, any or all of the following: (i) the completion of the development, in whole or in part, (ii) indemnification of the lender from environmental issues, (iii) indemnification of the lender from "bad boy acts" of the unconsolidated entity (or full recourse liability in the event of an unauthorized transfer or bankruptcy) and (iv) that the loan to value and/or loan to cost will not exceed a certain percentage (maintenance or remargining guarantee) or that a percentage of the outstanding loan will be repaid (repayment guarantee).
In connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity where there is a joint and several guarantee, we sometimes have a reimbursement agreement with our partner. The reimbursement agreement provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share of the guarantee. However, if our joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share, up to our maximum exposure, which is the full amount covered by the joint and several guarantee.
The total debt of Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments, including Lennar's maximum recourse exposure, were as follows:

| |
(1) | As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, our maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to us providing repayment guarantees on three and four unconsolidated entities' debt, respectively. |
The recourse debt exposure in the previous table represents our maximum exposure to loss from guarantees and does not take into account the underlying value of the collateral or the other assets of the borrowers that are available to repay debt or to reimburse us for any payments on our guarantees.
In addition, in most instances in which we have guaranteed debt of a 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 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 Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase our share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.
As of both February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the fair values of the repayment, maintenance, and completion guarantees were not material. We believe that as of February 28, 2019, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a 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 Homebuilding unconsolidated entities ("JVs") debt as per current debt arrangements as of February 28, 2019 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.

Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At February 28, 2019, Multifamily had equity investments in 21 unconsolidated entities that are engaged in multifamily residential developments (of which 6 had non-recourse debt and 15 had no debt), compared to 22 unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2018. 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 Fund has 39 multifamily assets totaling approximately 12,000 apartments with projected project costs of $4.1 billion as of February 28, 2019. There are 17 completed and operating multifamily assets with 4,885 apartments. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, $64.8 million in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed $16.2 million representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, we received $4.9 million of distributions as a return of capital from the Venture Fund. As of February 28, 2019, $1.8 billion of the $2.2 billion in equity commitments had been called, of which we had contributed $457.0 million representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for us of $47.0 million. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of our investment in the Venture Fund was $390.7 million and $383.4 million, respectively.
In March 2018, the Multifamily segment completed the first closing of a second Multifamily Venture, Venture Fund II, for the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. As of February 28, 2019, Venture Fund II has approximately $787 million of equity commitments, including a $255 million co-investment commitment by Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, $26.8 million in equity commitments were called, of which we contributed our portion of $8.7 million. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, we received $6.3 million of distributions as a return of capital. As of February 28, 2019, $262.2 million of the $787 million in equity commitments had been called, of which we had contributed $83.8 million, representing our pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for us of $171.2 million. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the carrying value of our investment in Venture Fund II was $65.2 million and $63.0 million, respectively. The difference between our net contributions and the carrying value of our investments was related to a basis difference. Venture Fund II was seeded initially with eight undeveloped multifamily assets that were previously purchased by the Multifamily segment totaling approximately 3,000 apartments with projected project costs of approximately $1.3 billion.
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 February 28, 2019.
Summarized financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Multifamily’s investments in unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

The gain of $11.9 million recognized on the sale of the investment in an operating property and recognition of our share of deferred development fees that were capitalized at the joint venture level are included in Multifamily equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other gain, and are not included in net earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities. During the three months ended February 28, 2018, our Multifamily segment sold one operating property through its unconsolidated entities resulting in the segment's $4.1 million share of gains. |
Lennar Other: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We sold our Rialto Management Group on November 30, 2018. We retained our fund investments along with our carried interests in various Rialto funds and investments in other balance sheet assets. Our limited partner investments in Rialto funds and investment vehicles totaled $304.0 million at February 28, 2019. We are committed to invest as much as an additional $65.4 million in Rialto funds.
As part of the sale of the Rialto investment and asset management platform, we retained our ability to receive a portion of payments with regard to carried interests if funds meet specified performance thresholds. We will periodically receive advance distributions related to the carried interests in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to the carried interests. These distributions are not subject to clawbacks but will reduce future carried interest payments to which we become entitled from the applicable funds and have been recorded as revenues.
The following table represents amounts our Lennar Other segment would have received had the Rialto funds ceased operations and hypothetically liquidated all their investments at their estimated fair values on February 28, 2019, both gross and net of amounts already received as advanced tax distributions. The actual amounts we may receive could be materially different from amounts presented in the table below.

When Rialto Management Group was sold, we retained our right to receive 60% of the distributions of carried interest payments received from funds that existed at the time of the sale. |
At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, we had equity investments in nine and eight strategic investment unconsolidated entities, respectively. As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, we had strategic investments in unconsolidated entities of $124.3 million and $126.7 million, respectively.
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 February 28, 2019 and 2018: |

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. Over the next several years we plan to increase the controlled homesites to approximately 40% of our entire homesite inventory from approximately 24% as of February 28, 2019.
During the three months ended February 28, 2019, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $93.0 million with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the consolidation of an option agreement with a third party land bank, partially offset by us exercising our options to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, we had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2019. 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 $226.4 million and $209.5 million at February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. Additionally, we had posted $69.2 million and $72.4 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018, except for $725.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.
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 February 28, 2019, we had access to 67,590 homesites through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At February 28, 2019, we had $226.4 million of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to certain of these homesites and had posted $69.2 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts.
At February 28, 2019, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $759.7 million (which included the $69.2 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 February 28, 2019, we had outstanding surety bonds of $2.9 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 February 28, 2019, there were approximately $1.4 billion, or 50%, of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. We do not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any such draws occur, we do not believe they would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Our Financial Services segment had a pipeline of residential mortgage loan applications in process of $3.7 billion at February 28, 2019. Loans in process for which interest rates were committed to the borrowers totaled approximately $531.4 million as of February 28, 2019. 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 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 February 28, 2019, we had open commitments amounting to $1.3 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through April 2019 and there were no open futures contracts.
(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 three months ended February 28, 2019 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, 2018.
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 of February 28, 2019, we had $725.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.
As of February 28, 2019, borrowings under Financial Services' warehouse repurchase facilities totaled $771.5 million under residential loan facilities and $122.6 million under RMF facilities.
