For the three months ended Feb. 29, Lennar reported fiscal first-quarter earnings of $2.57 a share, up from $2.06 a diluted share a year earlier, on revenue of $7.31 billion, from $6.49 billion. Analysts were expecting earnings per share of $2.21 on revenues of $7.38B.

Looking ahead to the second quarter, the company sees deliveries of 19,000-to-19,500, and average sales price of about $420,000 to $425,000.
