Lennar posted lower profit and revenue in its latest quarter as the average sales price of homes delivered fell due to continued weakness in the housing market.
The Miami-based homebuilder on Monday posted a profit of $477 million for the fiscal second quarter, compared with $954.3 million a year earlier.
Earnings per share were $1.81, below estimates of $1.94 a share according to analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue fell to $8.38 billion compared with $8.77 billion a year ago. Analysts expected $8.18 billion.
Home sales revenues fell 7% to $7.8 billion, driven primarily by a decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered due to continued weak housing market trends, Lennar said. The company's average sales price of homes delivered fell 9% to $389,000 in the quarter.
Deliveries rose 2% to 20,131 homes and new orders increased 6% to 22,601 homes.
Co-Chief Executive Stuart Miller said the company continued to see softness in the housing market in the quarter due to affordability challenges and a decline in consumer confidence.
Lennar ended the quarter with a backlog of 15,538 homes with a dollar value of $6.48 billion. For its current quarter, the company expects home deliveries between 22,000 and 23,000 homes and new home orders of 22,000 to 23,000.
