−Removed: 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.
−Removed: In these extraordinarily difficult and volatile market conditions, the Lennar team has focused on our strategies, and we have executed with precision.
−Removed: We ended the first quarter with stronger-than-expected revenues and deliveries, strong profitability and cash flow, a fortified balance sheet and strong liquidity.
−Removed: Very limited new home inventory exists, existing home supply has fallen as existing homeowners hold on to extremely low mortgage rates, and multifamily production is very limited.
−Removed: This, combined with the chronic housing production shortfall over the past decade, leaves the industry in what we believe will be a fairly short duration correction without an inventory overhang to resolve.
−Removed: The homebuilding industry has been experiencing strong headwinds and equally strong tailwinds.
−Removed: The headwinds have been defined by Federal Reserve-driven interest rate increases to combat high inflation.
−Removed: The tailwinds have been defined by housing shortages across the country resulting from production deficits over the past decade.
−Removed: While potential homebuyers remain challenged by affordability concerns, they are adjusting to higher interest rates and opting to purchase their homes.
−Removed: The housing supply shortage, especially workforce housing, continues to drive customers to stretch their wallet as incentives and price reductions have worked to meet purchasers halfway.
−Removed: We believe the housing market is beginning to find a point of stabilization and customers, both primary and institutional, are coming to grips with the new normal of higher but acceptable interest rates.
−Removed: We are seeing the kind of volatility that our core operating strategy has been built to endure.
+Added: 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022.
+Added: In these challenging market conditions, the Lennar team has remained focused on production and pace, cash flow, inventory turns and return on capital, which have produced solid results for the second quarter.
+Added: As a result, we ended the second quarter with stronger-than-expected revenues and deliveries, strong profitability and cash flow, a fortified balance sheet, strong liquidity and low leverage.
+Added: These results are consistent with the stabilization that we have seen in the current economic environment, together with our adherence to our core operating strategies described below.
+Added: The economic environment for the homebuilding industry has stabilized as customers have adjusted to and accepted higher interest rates for longer terms, supply chain disruptions have normalized, inventories have remained low, and the supply of housing across the country has continued to be very limited.
+Added: While persistent inflation remains, the steep interest rate hikes which began in 2022 have given way to moderated and measured rate movements, allowing the market to adjust in an orderly fashion.
+Added: Strong demand for housing, which had previously been curtailed by price and affordability challenges, has returned while the housing market has adjusted prices, incentives, including rate buy-downs, and production costs to facilitate homebuying by customers.
+Added: Although interest rates and affordability have been the primary headwinds to demand, the housing supply shortage has kept inventory levels very low, which in turn has continued to drive customers to stretch their finances as incentives and price reductions have combined to increase affordability and drive demand.
+Added: The average sale price of homes has declined year over year through price reductions, together with the use of interest rate buy-downs and other incentives, and the average sales price sequentially has stabilized, as demand has returned.
With volume and production as constants, we use margin as our volatility shock absorber.

We also know that in more difficult times, there will be upward pressure on some of our sales, marketing and realtor costs in order to find purchasers and drive new sales.
−Removed: • We will maintain tight inventory control.
+Added: However, we believe if we continue to drive volume, we’ll be able to constrain increases and manage to attractive cost levels and net margins.
+Added: • We will continue to maintain tight inventory control.
+Added: We have recently significantly improved inventory control by focusing on selling homes in inventory and increasing our attention to, among other things, underperforming communities.
+Added: We are focused on clearing homes that are complete and closable, rather than selling homes that we intend to close many quarters in the future.

−Removed: While we're prepared for volatility and adversity along the way, we will focus on our core operating strategies as the way to perform as expected.
−Removed: Accordingly, we are not providing the targeted guidance about our future performance that we provided in the past.
