Slide 2

Disclaimer Forward Looking Statements  Some of the statements in this Investor Presentation are “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the expected time of the completion of the transaction.  These forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Lennar and CalAtlantic operate and beliefs of and assumptions made by Lennar management and CalAtlantic management, involve uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial results of Lennar or CalAtlantic or the combined company. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the anticipated benefits of the proposed merger between Lennar and CalAtlantic, including future financial and operating results, the attractiveness of the value to be received by CalAtlantic stockholders, and the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to expected synergies, improved market positioning and ongoing business strategies — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the  forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.  Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) Lennar’s and CalAtlantic’s ability to obtain requisite approval from their respective stockholders; (ii) Lennar’s and CalAtlantic’s ability to satisfy the conditions to closing of the proposed merger; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (iv) the risk that the announcement or pendency of the transaction will disrupt or harm Lennar’s or CalAtlantic’s business relationships, operating results and business generally; (v) failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed acquisition; (vi) the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; (vii) failure to promptly and effectively integrate the acquisition; (viii) other risks related to the completion of the proposed merger and actions related thereto; and (ix) the risks detailed in CalAtlantic’s and Lennar’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the “Risk Factors” sections of CalAtlantic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and Lennar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2016, and their respective most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.  There can be no assurance that the merger will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time period or that the expected benefits of the merger will be realized. It is not possible for the management of either company to predict all the possible risks that could affect it or to assess the impact of all possible risks on the two companies’ businesses. Neither Lennar nor CalAtlantic undertakes any duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this document.   Non-GAAP Financial Information  This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules.  Such non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business.  We believe the presentation of these financial measures helps investors to assess our operating performance from period to period and enhances understanding of our financial performance and highlights operational trends.  These non-GAAP financial metrics – including Net Homebuilding Debt to Total Capital, and EBITDA – are widely used by investors in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the homebuilding industry.  However, such measurements may not be comparable to those of other companies in our industry, which limits their usefulness as comparative metrics. In addition, Lennar and CalAtlantic may not calculate each of these measurements in the same manner.  Such metrics are not required by or calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of operating cash flow or liquidity.
