−Removed: In the first quarter, lumber costs increased about $2,300 per home both year over year and sequentially.

−Removed: We expect to see additional increases in the cost of lumber throughout the year.
−Removed: While community count at the end of the first quarter was down from the prior year, we are still on track to increase our active communities by about 10% in fiscal 2021.

−Removed: We have remained focused on our optioned versus owned land strategy and believe we are in an excellent position to achieve our target of 50% owned land and 50% land controlled through options or similar agreements by the end of 2021.

−Removed: Opendoor, one of our many technology investments, began trading as a public company in December 2020 and we recorded a $470 million unrealized gain as a result.

−Removed: We have invested in a number of high-quality technology businesses, including Doma, previously known as States Title, and Hippo Home Insurance, both of which have announced agreements to merge with publicly traded special purpose acquisition companies, and SunStreet solar power platform, which we have agreed to sell to Sunnova Energy International, Inc.

−Removed: We believe the best way to enhance corporate value is to have Lennar standalone as a pure-play homebuilder and financial services company, and to enable these blue-chip businesses to thrive and excel independently.

−Removed: With a solid balance sheet, leading positions in almost all of our homebuilding markets and continued execution of our core operating strategies, we believe that we have never been better positioned financially, organizationally, culturally, and technologically, to thrive and grow in this evolving and exciting housing market.
+Added: The housing market remains very strong.
+Added: Demand has continued to strengthen while the supply of new and existing homes has remained constrained.
+Added: New home construction cannot ramp up quickly enough to fill the void of the underproduction of homes for the past decade.
+Added: The bottom line is that supply of homes is short and while land, labor and supply chain are limiting factors in the drive to meet current demand, we believe that the housing shortage is likely to remain for some time to come.
+Added: Even though home prices have moved much higher and interest rates have ticked up slightly higher, overall affordability remains strong and interest rates are still lower than they were a year ago.
+Added: Personal savings for deposits are strong and wages seem to be rising faster than monthly payments.
+Added: Millennials are moving out of their parents’ homes and forming families, while apartment dwellers are finding a first-time home.

+Added: We do not currently see the rising cost of homes reducing demand for the homes we build.
+Added: We believe we are making up for the years of underproduction of homes now, which should keep the housing market thriving for some time to come.
+Added: The housing market is not only very strong, but it is also going through some structural changes that will promote stability in the market, and extend housing benefits to the breadth of a diverse society.
+Added: The iBuyer and single-family for rent participants are providing additional liquidity to the marketplace to purchase and sell homes, as they evolve and provide ever more frictionless transactions.
+Added: They are also solving important industry problems that have needed solutions for a very long time.
+Added: The iBuyers, led by Opendoor, are becoming more than just a home sale option.
+Added: They are an ever more effective and instrumental convenience provider, as the coordination of a new home is being complicated by supply chain disruption.
+Added: Additionally, in the single-family for rent space, our Upward America Venture facilitates a better time delivery of our homes with reduced cycle times and makes the single-family lifestyle accessible to more families.
+Added: Professional ownership of homes enables renters to access a single-family lifestyle, while they build the resources to own, and while commercial and professional owners manage the risk profile, which enables better housing for more families, and more diverse families, without weakening the mortgage market.
+Added: Capitalized with $1.25 billion of equity from blue-chip institutional investors, the Upward America Venture had a pipeline of 2,534 homes with a total purchase price of $596 million at the end of the second quarter.
+Added: The combined effects of this strong housing market along with structural changes, which we are in position to capitalize on through our strategic investments, puts Lennar in position to continue to drive returns and should position us for consistent continued growth into fiscal 2022.
+Added: We are focused on cash flow, debt reduction, and stock buyback, land controlled versus owned, return on capital, and return on equity, and on innovative technologies.
+Added: In addition, we have been carefully managing a stressed supply chain by maintaining our delivery targets for the year rather than increasing them.
+Added: We still expect to deliver between 62,000 and 64,000 homes in 2021, but with a now higher expected gross margin of 26.5% to 27.0% and expected SG&A of 7.3% to 7.5% for the year.
+Added: Our return on equity stands now at 18.8%, which is a 550 basis point improvement over last year.
+Added: Our return on capital is now 15.0%, and a 500-basis point improvement.
+Added: We have remained focused on our optioned versus owned land strategy, and achieved 50% land controlled through options or similar agreements two quarters earlier than expected.
+Added: We ended the second quarter with a 3.3 years supply of land owned, compared to a 3.9 years supply of land owned at the same time last year.
+Added: Among other things, this has enabled us to reduce debt, such that our second quarter homebuilding debt-to-total capital ratio improved to 23.1%, from 31.2% in the prior year.
+Added: These points of improvement have enabled us to reconsider the size of our spin-off and aim for a larger asset base in order to further fortify the new company.
+Added: Accordingly, we are now targeting an asset base of $5 billion to $6 billion, which will leave the remaining pure-play homebuilding and financial services company with an appropriately liquid balance sheet and no material loss of reported earnings.
+Added: The new company will be an independent and active asset management business that raises third-party capital to support its ongoing business vertical.
+Added: Two of these verticals, the multifamily platform and LSFR, our single-family rental platform, have already raised third-party capital and are active asset managers.
+Added: Additionally, we have a dynamic and growing independent land development business, and we have a growing technology investment business, which is part of LEN X .
+Added: This separation of these businesses from the homebuilder will enable them to thrive in ways they cannot while they are part of Lennar.
+Added: As a company we are recasting the cost structure all the way from hard costs like labor and materials, to the softer costs around SG&A.
+Added: We are re-wiring the way that this business operates, including through the technologies that we are incorporating into our business, the efficiency of our land program, our just-in-time delivery of land and the emergent inventory management component of our single-family for rent program.
+Added: Additionally, as we bring debt down, we have less capital cost, and that is continuing to help our margin picture.
+Added: We believe that we have never been better positioned financially, organizationally and technologically to thrive and grow in an evolving and exciting housing market.
+Added: The market conditions remain strong for the foreseeable future, and we expect a strong second half of 2021, and continued strength in the market as we begin to look to 2022.
