Continues Strong Momentum of Deploying Capital Accretively

Raises Full Year 2025 Third-Party Transaction Funding Guidance to $1.5 billion and Increases Year-End Quarterly Earnings Per Share Run-Rate Guidance, Driven by Increasing Demand for Transaction Funding

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 2025-- Millrose Properties, Inc. (NYSE: MRP, “Millrose” or the “Company”), the Homesite Option Purchase Platform for residential homebuilders, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, marking its inaugural earnings report as an independent company following its spin-off from Lennar Corporation (“Lennar”) on February 7, 2025.

"This quarter represents an exciting beginning for Millrose Properties as a standalone company," said Darren Richman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Millrose. "The strong demand for our innovative Homesite Option Purchase Platform is driving growth and delivering value to homebuilders, land developers and our investors. We have strengthened our capital position and are executing well across both Lennar and third-party customers. We have also made progress in growing partnerships with other homebuilders and have executed five separate programmatic partnership commitments. These forward flow arrangements provide the builder with defined capital availability from Millrose under pre-negotiated terms. We believe this approach gives us and our counterparties important visibility in land planning.”

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

Millrose’s first quarter 2025 financial results reflect the strength of its business model, which generates predictable, recurring income through monthly option fee payments. The Company’s focus on disciplined capital allocation and a conservative risk profile is driving attractive returns for shareholders.

For the first quarter of 2025, after adjusting expenses from pre-spin periods, Millrose reported:

• Net income attributable to Millrose common shareholders of $64.8 million, or $0.39 per share, driven by $82.7 million in option fees.
• Book Value Per Share of $35.40 as of March 31, 2025.

Dividend

On March 17, 2025, Millrose declared its inaugural dividend of $63.1 million, or $0.38 per share of Class A and Class B common stock. This “stub” dividend, paid on April 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of April 4, 2025, covered the period from Millrose’s spin-off from Lennar on February 7, 2025, through March 31, 2025, and represented a pro-rated portion of what would equate to $0.65 per share on a normalized quarterly basis.

Portfolio Highlights for the First Quarter of 2025

• Lennar Investments: With a $6.6 billion homesite inventory balance as of March 31, 2025, and a weighted average yield of 8.5%, the Lennar relationship continues to provide a stable foundation for Millrose as Millrose grows and diversifies its platform. Shortly after the spin-off, Millrose acquired 24,000 homesites from Rausch Coleman Homes for $859 million in cash (net of deposits funded by Lennar and other holdbacks), facilitating Lennar’s acquisition of the homebuilder. In the first quarter, Millrose received $645 million in net cash proceeds from homesite sales to Lennar and redeployed $635 million in new land acquisitions and development funding with Lennar, in addition to the Rausch Coleman acquisition. Weighted average option rate was 8.7% on new land acquisitions with Lennar pursuant to the terms of the Lennar Master Program Agreement.
• Third-Party Investments: Millrose deployed $351 million with third-party customers at a weighted average yield of 11.7%, demonstrating strong demand from homebuilders.
• Portfolio Yield: Total portfolio weighted average yield was 8.7% as of March 31, 2025, reflecting the impact of the acquisition of new third-party homesites under option.
• Portfolio Composition: Millrose ended the quarter with approximately 111,000 homesites across 876 communities in 29 states as of March 31, 2025.

Acquisition of Landsea Homes Corporation Homesites

On May 12, Millrose provided a $700 million commitment to acquire a portfolio of homesites in partnership with New Home Company (“New Home”), a leading homebuilder wholly-owned by funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, to support New Home’s acquisition of Landsea Homes Corporation. Following completion of the transaction, Millrose will enable development and delivery of those homesites to New Home over time under its Homesite Option Purchase Platform (“HOPP’R”).

This transaction underscores the demand for Millrose’s offering and demonstrates Millrose’s differentiated ability to facilitate large-scale, capital-efficient acquisitions in the homebuilding sector.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, in conjunction with New Home’s acquisition closing.

Earnings Outlook

The Company has raised its full-year 2025 guidance for new transaction funding outside of the Lennar Master Program to $1.5 billion, up from the previously announced $1 billion, driven by heightened demand.

Accordingly, the Company has also increased year-end quarterly earnings per share run-rate to a range of $0.69 to $0.71.

Liquidity & Capitalization Update

Millrose maintains a conservative leverage profile, significant asset base, and ample liquidity, supported by a clean capital structure.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company reported total assets of $7.2 billion and liquidity of $1.1 billion, including cash and availability under its revolving credit facility.

Total Debt was $350 million, with a Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio of approximately 5%. Going forward, Millrose expects to adhere to a maximum debt to capitalization of 33%.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company secured a $1 billion delayed draw term loan commitment from Goldman Sachs Bank USA and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which, combined with its existing $1.3 billion revolving credit facility, supports its higher than anticipated investment pace and ensures ample capital to execute on a growing range of opportunities.
