About this update from Lennar Corporation

First Quarter Net Income of $0.74 Per Share and AFFO of $0.76 Per Share Expanded Counterparty Base to 17 Homebuilders, Including Addition of a Top-10 National Builder and Redeployed $989 Million in Land Acquisitions and Development Funding Across the Portfolio Total Homesites Under Option Contracts and Other Related Assets of $9.5 Billion with Zero Option Terminations Since Inception; Invested Capital Outside of the Lennar Master Program Agreement Reached $2.7 Billion, Reflecting $365 Million of Growth Versus the Prior Quarter Converted Credit Facility to Fully Unsecured Structure and Added $500 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, Expanding Total Capacity to over $1.8 Billion Generated $726 Million in Net Cash Proceeds from Homesite Sales with Zero Option Terminations MIAMI, May 06, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Millrose Properties, Inc. (NYSE: MRP, "Millrose" or the "Company"), the homesite option platform for residential homebuilders, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. "We began 2026 with solid first quarter results, reflecting consistent execution of our strategy," said Darren Richman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Millrose. "Across the homebuilding industry, builders are navigating competing priorities — sustaining community count growth while exercising balance sheet discipline in a margin-compressed environment. As builders seek to preserve margins while sustaining growth, demand for capital-light lot access is increasing, and our platform is positioned at the center of that structural shift." Mr. Richman continued, "As margins compress across the industry, the carrying cost of land on the balance sheet weighs more heavily on builder returns — yet the multi-year nature of land investment means those commitments cannot be deferred without sacrificing future growth. That is the precise tension our platform is designed to resolve. During the quarter, we expanded our counterparty base to 17 homebuilders, including the addition of a top-10 national builder, and strengthened our capital foundation by converting to a fully unsecured credit facility — positioning Millrose to meet that growing demand at scale." Financial Highlights Millrose produces recurring cash flow through contractual monthly cash options payments with continuous capital redeployment of homesite sale proceeds. For the first quarter of 2026, Millrose reported: Total portfolio weighted average annualized yield was 9.2% as of March 31, 2026, consistent with the prior quarter despite a decline in the base rate, SOFR. This stability reflects growth in homesite investments outside the Lennar Master Program Agreement, with option rate spreads remaining constant over the base rate. First quarter results reflect a shorter calendar period of 90 days versus 92 days in the fourth quarter. This created a modest mechanical reduction in option fee income with no impact on the earnings trajectory of the business. Dividend On March 23, 2026, Millrose declared a quarterly dividend of $126.2 million, or $0.76 per share of Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2026, to shareholders of record as of April 3, 2026. Portfolio Highlights Guidance The Company is reaffirming its previously issued guidance from its fourth quarter and full year 2025 earnings call. First quarter results and pipeline activity remain consistent with these expectations. The Company expects to deploy approximately $1 billion of additional invested capital by mid-2026 using existing debt capacity, targeting a second quarter exit quarterly AFFO run rate of $0.78–$0.80 per share. 1 Based on current pipeline depth, total net new capital deployment of up to $2 billion is expected for full year 2026 – implying approximately 10% year-over-year AFFO per share growth. Liquidity & Capitalization Update Millrose maintains a conservative balance sheet and strong liquidity position to support continued growth. As of March 31, 2026, the Company reported total assets of $9.6 billion and total liquidity of $1.5 billion, including cash and availability under its revolving credit facility. Total debt was $2.4 billion, with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of approximately 29%. The Company remains committed to maintaining a conservative leverage profile, with a maximum debt-to-capitalization target of 33%. The Company’s capital structure includes a $1.835 billion unsecured credit facility, including a $500 million delayed-draw term loan commitment. During the quarter, Millrose converted its credit facility from a secured to an unsecured structure and added a new $500 million delayed draw term loan commitment, expanding total capacity to $1.835 billion and providing additional liquidity and flexibility to support continued capital deployment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Invested Capital is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the balance on which monthly cash option fees are paid by counterparties. Invested Capital includes certain components of our consolidated financial statements related to (i) homesites under option contracts, (ii) development loans receivable, and (iii) liabilities. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is homesites under option contracts as presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Management uses Invested Capital as a measure of the capital deployed and believes that the figure is useful to investors because it serves as the basis for generating option fees and other related income. This non-GAAP measure is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how our management assesses underlying performance and is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP measures, and should be viewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial measures. AFFO means the Adjusted Funds From Operations, which are calculated as the net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation, adjusted to eliminate the impact of non-recurring items that are not reflective of ongoing operations and certain non-cash items that reduce or increase net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, and also adjusted for income tax expense (other than income tax expenses of our TRSs) that will not be incurred following our election and qualification to be subject to tax as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The table below reconciles GAAP reported homesites under option contracts to Invested Capital as of March 31, 2026 and summarizes Invested Capital activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026: The table below is a reconciliation of GAAP net income to AFFO and GAAP earnings per share to AFFO earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:   View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260506212516/en/ Contacts Media Ben Spicehandler / Stephen Pettibone FGS Global [email protected]
