LENNAR CORPORATION 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 endedNovember 30, 2020 . 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. 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. 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. The 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: the potential negative impact to our business of the ongoing coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, the duration, impact and severity of which is highly uncertain; increases in operating costs, including costs related to construction materials, labor, real estate taxes and insurance, and our inability to manage our cost structure, both in our Homebuilding and Multifamily businesses; 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; reduced availability of mortgage financing or increased interest rates; our inability to successfully execute our strategies, including our land lighter strategy and our planned spin-off of certain businesses; 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 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; whether government actions or other factors force us to terminate our program of repurchasing 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 endedNovember 30, 2020 and our other filings with theSEC 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. 26 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook
The housing market remains very strong. Demand has continued to strengthen while the supply of new and existing homes has remained constrained. New home construction cannot ramp up quickly enough to fill the void of the underproduction of homes for the past decade. 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. 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. Personal savings for deposits are strong and wages seem to be rising faster than monthly payments. Millennials are moving out of their parents' homes and forming families, while apartment dwellers are finding a first-time home. We believe we are uniquely positioned to capitalize and drive even greater growth in our bottom line on this demand given our focus on orderly, targeted growth, with our sales pace tightly matched with our pace of production, which enables price appreciation to offset future cost escalations to maximize margins. We do not currently see the rising cost of homes reducing demand for the homes we build. 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. 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. 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. They are also solving important industry problems that have needed solutions for a very long time. The iBuyers, led by Opendoor, are becoming more than just a home sale option. They are an ever more effective and instrumental convenience provider, as the coordination of a new home is being complicated by supply chain disruption. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. In addition, we have been carefully managing a stressed supply chain by maintaining our delivery targets for the year rather than increasing them. 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. Our return on equity stands now at 18.8%, which is a 550 basis point improvement over last year. Our return on capital is now 15.0%, and a 500-basis point improvement. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. The new company will be an independent and active asset management business that raises third-party capital to support its ongoing business vertical. 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. Additionally, we have a dynamic and growing independent land development business, and we have a growing technology investment business, which is part of LENX. This separation of these businesses from the homebuilder will enable them to thrive in ways they cannot while they are part of Lennar. 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. 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. Additionally, as we bring debt down, we have less capital cost, and that is continuing to help our margin picture. We believe that we have never been better positioned financially, organizationally and technologically to thrive and grow in an evolving and exciting housing market. 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. 27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (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 and six months endedMay 31, 2021 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, a variety of factors can alter seasonal patterns. Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were$831.4 million , or$2.65 per diluted share ($2.66 per basic share), in the second quarter of 2021, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of$517.4 million , or$1.65 per diluted share ($1.66 per basic share), in the second quarter of 2020. Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were$1.8 billion , or$5.85 per diluted share ($5.86 per basic share), in the six months endedMay 31, 2021 , compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of$915.9 million , or$2.91 per diluted share ($2.92 per basic share), in the six months endedMay 31, 2020 . 28 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three Months Ended May 31, 2021 versus Three Months Ended May 31, 2020
Revenues from home sales increased 21% in the second quarter of 2021 to $6.0
billion from $4.9 billion in the second quarter of 2020. Revenues were higher
primarily due to a 14% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding
unconsolidated entities, and a 6% increase in the average sales price. New home
deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 14,462 homes in the
second quarter of 2021 from 12,653 homes in the second quarter of 2020. The
average sales price of homes delivered was $414,000 in the second quarter of
2021, compared to $389,000 in the second quarter of 2020.
30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross margin on home sales were $1.6 billion , or 26.1%, in the second quarter of
2021, compared to $1.1 billion , or 21.6%, in the second quarter of 2020. The
gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily as a result of pricing
power as the increase in revenue per square foot outpaced the increase in cost
per square foot. Additionally, we continued to focus on controlling construction
costs. Gross margin on land sales in the second quarter of 2021 was $5.8 million
compared to a loss of $23.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. The loss in
the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a write-off of costs as a result
of us not moving forward with a naval base development in Concord, California ,
northeast of San Francisco .
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $455.2 million in the second
quarter of 2021, compared to $407.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. As a
percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses improved to 7.6% in the second quarter of 2021, from 8.3% in the second
quarter of 2020. This was the lowest percentage for a second quarter in our
history primarily due to a decrease in broker commissions and benefits of our
technology efforts.
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $121.2 million in the
second quarter of 2021, compared to $150.6 million in the second quarter of 2020
(which included $147.3 million of operating earnings and an add back of $3.3
million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests). The second
quarter of 2020 included a $61.4 million gain on the deconsolidation of a
previously consolidated entity. Excluding this gain, the improvement in
operating earnings was primarily due to an increase in margin in the mortgage
business and an increase in volume and margin in the title business.
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $22.4 million in the second
quarter of 2021, compared to an operating loss of $0.6 million in the second
quarter of 2020. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $54.1 million
in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $18.0 million in the second quarter
of 2020. In the second quarter of 2021, we recorded mark to market losses on our
Opendoor Technologies, Inc ("Opendoor") and Sunnova Energy International Inc.
("Sunnova") investments of $234.3 million and $38.3 million , respectively. This
was partially offset by a gain of $151.5 million recognized during the quarter
related to the sale of our solar business to Sunnova.
Six Months Ended May 31, 2021 versus Six Months Ended May 31, 2020
Revenues from home sales increased 20% in the six months ended May 31, 2021 to
$10.9 billion from $9.1 billion in the six months ended May 31, 2020 . Revenues
were higher primarily due to a 17% increase in the number of home deliveries,
excluding unconsolidated entities. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated
entities, increased to 26,764 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2021 from
22,966 homes in the six months ended May 31, 2020 . The average sales price of
homes delivered was $406,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2021 , compared to
$395,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2020 .
Gross margin on home sales were $2.8 billion , or 25.6%, in the six months ended
May 31, 2021 , compared to $1.9 billion or 21.1%, in the six months ended May 31,
2020 . The gross margin percentage on home sales increased primarily as a result
of pricing power as the increase in revenue per square foot outpaced the
increase in cost per square foot. Additionally, we continued to focus on
controlling construction costs. Gross margin on land sales in the six months
ended May 31, 2021 was $12.3 million , compared to a loss of $23.8 million in the
six months ended May 31, 2020 . The loss in the six months ended May 31, 2020 was
primarily due to a write-off of costs in the second quarter of 2020 as a result
of us not moving forward with a naval base development in Concord, California ,
northeast of San Francisco .
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $865.4 million in the six
months ended May 31, 2021 , compared to $786.1 million in the six months ended
May 31, 2020 . As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses improved to 8.0% in the six months ended May 31, 2021 ,
from 8.7% in the six months ended May 31, 2020 . The improvement was primarily
due to a decrease in broker commissions and benefits of our technology efforts.
Operating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $267.4 million in the
six months ended May 31, 2021 , compared to $208.8 million in the six months
ended May 31, 2020 (which included $194.6 million in operating earnings and an
add back of $14.1 million net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests).
The six months ended May 31, 2020 included a $61.4 million gain on the
deconsolidation of a previously consolidated entity. Excluding this gain, the
improvement in operating earnings was primarily due to an increase in volume and
margin in the mortgage and title businesses.
Operating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $21.5 million in the six
months ended May 31, 2021 , compared to operating earnings of $1.1 million in the
six months ended May 31, 2020 . Operating earnings for the Lennar Other segment
were $417.2 million in the six months ended May 31, 2021 , compared to an
operating loss of $17.1 million in the six months ended May 31, 2020 . The
operating earnings for the six months ended May 31, 2021 were primarily due to
the net gain related to the mark to market of our shareholdings in Opendoor,
which began trading on the Nasdaq stock market in December 2020 , and the gain on
the sale of our solar business to Sunnova.

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. Various state and federal laws and regulations may sometimes give purchasers a right to cancel homes in backlog. We do not recognize revenue on homes under sales contracts until the sales are closed and title passes to the new homeowners.

Financial Services Segment Our Financial Services reportable segment provides mortgage financing, title and closing services primarily for buyers of our homes. The segment also originates and sells into securitizations commercial mortgage loans through itsLMF Commercial 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. 35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table sets forth selected financial and operational information related to the residential mortgage and title activities of our Financial Services segment: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended May 31, May 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Dollar value of mortgages originated$ 3,186,000 3,258,000 5,947,000 5,478,000 Number of mortgages originated 9,500 10,100 17,900 17,000 Mortgage capture rate of Lennar homebuyers 74 % 82 % 75 % 79 % Number of title and closing service transactions 17,100 14,400 32,100 25,500 AtMay 31, 2021 andNovember 30, 2020 , the carrying value of Financial Services' commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") was$162.9 million and$164.2 million , respectively.

Homebuilding debt to total capital and net Homebuilding debt to total capital are calculated as follows: (Dollars in thousands) May 31, 2021 November 30, 2020 May 31, 2020 Homebuilding debt$ 5,894,342 5,955,758 7,495,674 Stockholders' equity 19,576,108 17,994,856 16,542,703 Total capital$ 25,470,450 23,950,614 24,038,377 Homebuilding debt to total capital 23.1 % 24.9 % 31.2 % Homebuilding debt$ 5,894,342 5,955,758 7,495,674 Less: Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents 2,581,583 2,703,986 1,398,682 Net Homebuilding debt$ 3,312,759 3,251,772 6,096,992 Net Homebuilding debt to total capital (1) 14.5 % 15.3 % 26.9 % (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). We believe 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 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. AtMay 31, 2021 , Homebuilding debt to total capital was lower compared toMay 31, 2020 , primarily as a result of a decrease in Homebuilding debt and an increase in stockholders' equity due to net earnings. AtMay 31, 2021 , Homebuilding debt to total capital was lower compared toNovember 30, 2020 , primarily as a result of an increase in stockholders' equity due to 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, 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 the pursuit of 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. Our Homebuilding senior notes and other debts payable as well as letters of credit and surety bonds are summarized within Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our Homebuilding average debt outstanding and the average rates of interest was as follows: Six Months Ended May 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 Homebuilding average debt outstanding$ 5,981,490 $ 8,171,686 Average interest rate 4.9 % 4.9 % Interest incurred$ 142,517 $ 184,198 As ofMay 31, 2021 , the maximum borrowings on our Credit Facility were$2.5 billion and included a$300 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, thus the maximum borrowings could be$2.8 billion maturing in 2024. The Credit Facility agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides that up to$500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. Under the Credit Agreement, we are subject to debt covenants. The maturity, details and debt covenants of the Credit Facility are unchanged from the disclosure in the Financial Condition and Capital Resources section of our Form 10-K for the year endedNovember 30, 2020 . The following summarizes our debt covenant requirements and our actual levels or ratios with respect to those covenants as calculated per the Credit Agreement as ofMay 31, 2021 : Level Achieved as of (Dollars in thousands) Covenant Level May 31, 2021 Minimum net worth test$ 9,290,371 13,075,167 Maximum leverage ratio 65.0 % 18.8 % Liquidity test 1.00 9.09 38
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial Services Warehouse Facilities Our Financial Services segment uses the residential 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 us and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. TheLMF Commercial facilities financeLMF Commercial loan origination and securitization activities and were secured by up to an 80% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. These facilities and the related borrowings and collateral are detailed in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in Capital Structure InJanuary 2021 , our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to the lesser of$1.0 billion in value, or 25 million in shares, of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The repurchase authorization replaced aJanuary 2019 authorization and has no expiration date. The details of our Class A and Class B common stock under this program for both the three and six months endedMay 31, 2021 and 2020 are included in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the six months endedMay 31, 2021 , treasury stock increased due to our repurchase of 1.9 million shares of Class A and Class B common stock due primarily to our repurchase of 1.5 million shares of Class A and Class B common stock through our stock repurchase program. During the six months endedMay 31, 2020 , treasury stock increased due to our repurchase of 4.4 million shares of Class A and Class B common stock through our stock repurchase program. OnJune 18, 2021 , our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of$0.25 per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock, payable onJuly 19, 2021 to holders of record at the close of business onJuly 2, 2021 . OnMay 5, 2021 , we paid cash dividends of$0.25 per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock to holders of record at the close of business onApril 21, 2021 , as declared by our Board of Directors onApril 7, 2021 . We approved and paid cash dividends of$0.125 per share for each of the first three quarters of 2020 and$0.25 per share in fourth quarter of 2020 on both our Class A and Class B common stock and first two quarter of 2021 on both its Class A and Class B common stock. 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. Supplemental Financial Information Currently, substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing all our senior notes. The guarantees are full and unconditional. The indentures governing our senior notes require that, if any of our 100% owned subsidiaries, other than our finance company subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries, directly or indirectly guarantee at least$75 million principal amount of debt ofLennar Corporation (other than senior notes), those subsidiaries must also guaranteeLennar Corporation's obligations with regard to its senior notes. Included in the following tables as part of "Obligors" together withLennar Corporation are subsidiary entities that are not finance company subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries and were guaranteeing the senior notes because atMay 31, 2021 they were guaranteeingLennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, disclosed in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% directly or indirectly owned byLennar 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$75 million principal amount of debt ofLennar Corporation (other than senior notes), and a subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed. Supplemental information for the Obligors, which excludes non-guarantor subsidiaries and intercompany transactions, atMay 31, 2021 is included in the following tables. Intercompany balances and transactions within the Obligors have been eliminated and amounts attributable to the Obligor's investment in consolidated subsidiaries that have not issued or guaranteed the senior notes have been excluded. Amounts due from and transactions with nonobligor subsidiaries and related parties are separately disclosed: (In thousands) May 31, 2021 November 30, 2020 Due from non-guarantor subsidiaries$ 3,501,212 2,655,503 Equity method investments 1,008,979 951,579 Total assets 29,645,023 27,695,067 Total liabilities 9,824,021 9,599,718 39

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Homebuilding: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
As of May 31, 2021 , we had equity investments in 42 active homebuilding and land
unconsolidated entities (of which three had recourse debt, 13 had non-recourse
debt and 26 had no debt) compared to 38 active homebuilding and land
unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2020 . 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. Details regarding these
investments, balances and debt are included in Note 3 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
May 31, 2021 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.

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 selectU.S. markets. Initially, we participated in building multifamily developments and selling them soon after they were completed. Recently, however, we have been focused on developing properties with the intention of retaining them. 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 Multifamily segment includes LMV I and LMV II, which are long-term multifamily development investment vehicles involved in the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. Details of each as of and during the six months endedMay 31, 2021 are included in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We regularly monitor the results of both our Homebuilding and Multifamily 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 40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the debt covenants, we evaluate and assess possible impairment of our investment. We believe all of the joint ventures were in compliance with applicable debt covenants atMay 31, 2021 . The following table summarizes the principal maturities of our Multifamily unconsolidated entities debt as per current debt arrangements as ofMay 31, 2021 and it does not represent estimates of future cash payments that will be made to reduce debt balances.

We 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. As ofMay 31, 2021 andNovember 30, 2020 , we had strategic technology investments in unconsolidated entities of$178.2 million and$196.7 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): Controlled Homesites Years of May 31, 2021 Optioned JVs Total Owned Homesites Total Homesites Supply Owned (1) East 55,537 5,750 61,287 55,218 116,505 Central 24,283 92 24,375 41,816 66,191 Texas 43,447 - 43,447 38,332 81,779 West 52,347 3,444 55,791 51,336 107,127 Other 4 7,569 7,573 2,235 9,808 Total homesites 175,618 16,855 192,473 188,937 381,410 3.3 % of total homesites 50 % 50 % Controlled Homesites Years of May 31, 2020 Optioned JVs Total Owned Homesites Total Homesites Supply Owned (1) East 22,812 13,608 36,420 63,932 100,352 Central 13,271 122 13,393 43,203 56,596 Texas 23,164 - 23,164 36,179 59,343 West 12,355 2,900 15,255 59,777 75,032 Other - 8,681 8,681 2,071 10,752 Total homesites 71,602 25,311 96,913 205,162 302,075 3.9 % of total homesites 32 % 68 % (1)Based on trailing twelve months of home deliveries.

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 endedNovember 30, 2020 . There were no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility as ofMay 31, 2021 . 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) New Accounting Pronouncements See Note 1 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.

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 ofMay 31, 2021 , we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. As ofMay 31, 2021 , our borrowings under Financial Services' warehouse repurchase facilities totaled$671.5 million under residential facilities and$104.2 million underLMF Commercial facilities.
