On June 25, 2025, New Home completed the acquisition of Landsea and we funded land banking capital of $494.5 million at closing, acquiring a portfolio of homesites, subject to option agreements with New Home.
Removed
This cycle is expected to repeat, allowing us a steady flow of capital, assuming Lennar’s continued and timely exercise of the Purchase Options on the timelines set forth in the applicable Project Addenda and continued payments of Option Deposits when Future Property Assets are acquired pursuant to the Lennar Agreements.
Added
As a result of the transaction, we acquired $522.8 million in land assets, consisting of 4,186 homesites, for $494.5 million in cash, which is net of deposits of $28.3 million related to the option contracts. 11 In connection with the New Home transaction, on June 24, 2025, Millrose entered into the DDTL Credit Agreement that provided for a delayed draw term loan facility (the “DDTL Credit Facility”) with commitments in the aggregate amount of $1.0 billion that was scheduled to mature on June 23, 2026.
Removed
This self-financing reliable cycle is a unique feature of Millrose’s solution to traditional Land Banking, and is made possible by (i) the perpetual use of the HOPP’R to operate and manage the acquisition, financing and Horizontal Development of land assets on a large scale and (ii) Lennar’s initial contribution of the Business Assets in return for equity — allowing Millrose access to assets and cash to finance new land acquisitions without having to repay the initial contribution.
Added
Proceeds of the DDTL Credit Facility were used to fund the New Home acquisition of Landsea and any remaining proceeds were available for general corporate purposes. On September 11, 2025, the DDTL Credit Agreement was terminated and all obligations thereunder were repaid in full.
Removed
This Recycled Capital HOPP’R is intended to be accessible to all customers in the residential real estate industry, not just limited to Lennar, and the features unique to the Recycled Capital HOPP’R are designed to allow Millrose to continue financing new transactions with customers both in times of strong market conditions and times of market downturns, therefore supporting the reliable and consistent nature of the structure.
Added
During the third quarter of 2025, we strengthened our capital structure through two senior notes offerings: • On August 7, 2025, we issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2030, using the net proceeds therefrom to repay $500 million principal amount outstanding under the DDTL Credit Facility and $450 million principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes. • On September 11, 2025, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2032, using the net proceeds therefrom to repay the entire $500 million remaining principal amount outstanding under the DDTL Credit Facility, and related expenses.
Removed
The ability of Millrose to offer perpetual land acquisition and Horizontal Development financing solutions through the Recycled Capital HOPP’R distinguishes Millrose’s business from those that engage in traditional Land Banking, which is often required to distribute land sale proceeds to investors.
Added
The remainder was used for general corporate purposes.
Removed
Thus, while traditional Land Banking providers generally cannot engage in additional Land Banking without raising new investor funds, leaving them vulnerable to market dynamics and investor preferences, Millrose’s recycled capital structure should provide home builders with consistent access to capital, even during periods of market downturn or continued periods of depressed market conditions, subject to the assumptions and other risks described in this Form 10-K.
Added
On October 10, 2025, Lennar exercised its registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and commenced an offer to exchange the approximately 20% of the total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of Millrose that it owned as of September 30, 2025 for outstanding shares of Lennar Class A common stock (the “Exchange Offer”).
Removed
However, there is no guarantee that this financing model will be fully self-financing.
Added
On November 26, 2025, Lennar announced the results of the Exchange Offer through which Lennar accepted an aggregate of 8,049,594 shares of Lennar Class A common stock in exchange for 33,298,754 shares of Class A Common Stock of Millrose. The Exchange Offer was completed on November 28, 2025.
Removed
We entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides for a revolving credit facility with commitments in an aggregate amount of $1.335 billion, and may seek to pursue additional debt financing, all of which may be available to manage cash needs and reduce drag on returns, as well as for use to provide the HOPP’R to Other Customers.
Added
As a result, Lennar now owns a de minimis amount of Common Stock following the completion of the Exchange Offer. For additional discussion, see “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-K.
Removed
However, there is no guarantee that such sources of additional cash will be obtained or will be sufficient to cover all of our business growth initiatives. See “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources Following the Spin-Off” for more information.
Added
We have also extended development to vertical construction and may continue to extend capital for construction on owned homesites. Our homesite option platform accelerates homebuilders’ land-light strategies by providing unique access to uninterrupted capital through the continuous deployment and redeployment of takedown proceeds.

We may acquire any Future Property Assets as introduced by Lennar that will also be held through the Property LLCs or Other Subsidiaries, with the objective of selling them back to Lennar once Lennar has completed all Horizontal Development on the properties, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Lennar Agreements.
Removed
The general terms of the relationship between Millrose (through Millrose Holdings) and Lennar are set forth in the Master Program Agreement, including the terms on which Future Property Assets will be acquired by Millrose Holdings (or any Property LLCs) pursuant to the Lennar Agreements.
Removed
However, we may, at our Manager’s discretion, but will not be obligated to, acquire Future Property Assets that do not fully comply with the terms of the Lennar Agreements, and may adhere only to some or none of the Operating Principles. We will have no obligation to acquire any Future Property Asset that does not satisfy the Manager Diligence Obligations.

Concurrently with the execution of the Master Program Agreement, separate Project Addenda were executed with respect to the Transferred Assets. Promptly following the closing of the Supplemental Transferred Assets Transaction, one or more Project Addenda were executed with respect to each of the Homesites and prospective Homesites included in Supplemental Transferred Assets.
Removed
A separate Project Addendum will be executed with respect to any Future Property Assets, pursuant to which such Future Property Assets will become subject to the Master Program Agreement, the Master Option Agreement, and the Master Construction Agreement.
Removed
The Master Option Agreement provides Lennar with the exclusive option to purchase properties included in the Transferred Assets, the Supplemental Transferred Assets and any Future Property Assets in accordance with an agreed upon schedule of Homesite purchases and pricing set forth in the supplemental Project Addenda.
Removed
Lennar may acquire the Homesites in accordance with the relevant schedule contained in the applicable Project Addenda, which specifies the minimum order and time at which Homesites may be acquired by Lennar.

If Lennar’s Purchase Options are terminated or if Lennar decides not to exercise its options in accordance with the terms of the Master Program Agreement and Master Option Agreement, Millrose Holdings may sell the properties that were subject to such forfeited or terminated options to third-party buyers.
Removed
Regardless of who the ultimate buyer is, Millrose’s Property Use Objective will not change.
Removed
The Master Construction Agreement provides Lennar with the obligation to complete all Work on each Homesite comprising the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets (and any Future Property Assets acquired pursuant to the terms of the Lennar Agreements) while such properties are owned by Millrose Holdings (through its Property LLCs), even if Lennar no longer has options to acquire them, in each case on the timelines and budgets (with respect to the Horizontal Development only) set forth in the Project Addenda for such properties.
Removed
Pursuant to the Master Construction Agreement, Lennar has the right (but not the obligation) to complete home construction on properties while such properties are owned by Millrose Holdings (through its Property LLCs). Millrose Holdings does not conduct any Horizontal Development or home construction activities itself.
Removed
Millrose Holdings is required to fund all Horizontal Development up to a certain pre-agreed budget amount as agreed with Lennar pursuant to the Master Construction Agreement, as supplemented by 97 Table of Contents relevant Project Addenda, and Lennar is required to fund any Horizontal Development costs in excess of that.
Removed
Millrose Holdings will not bear or fund any home construction costs. Subject to minimal exceptions, properties are separately subject to a Multiparty Cross Agreement, pursuant to which the properties are pooled for purposes of restricting Lennar’s ability to select certain properties it would want to purchase and let its Purchase Options terminate with regard to other properties in that pool.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Transactions with Lennar.” Geography, Value and Types of Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets We believe the Transferred Assets, the Supplemental Transferred Assets and Millrose’s Real Estate Portfolio is located across a geographically and economically diverse set of solid markets with a concentration in certain key locations, as indicated in the map below.
Removed
The geographic mix of properties included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets is intended to be similar to Lennar’s current geographic spread. We expect to prioritize target markets based on the following three main criteria based on Millrose’s expectations for such markets: I.
Removed
Market is “core,” with solid market penetration, extensive history of homebuilding in the market, and experienced in-market developers. II. Market has good presence from other home builders or land developers with similar product, providing downside protection in the unlikely event of option termination. III. Market exhibits healthy underlying demographic and/or economic trends.
Removed
As of the December 31, 2024, the Transferred Assets and Supplemental Transferred Assets consisted of 860 properties (also known as communities) in 29 states across the United States, totaling approximately 112,855 Homesites, with an approximate aggregate value of $6.6 billion.
Removed
On average, each property will be developed into approximately 131 Homesites but this will vary depending on the size of each property and expected size of each Homesite.
Removed
As of December 31, 2024, the properties were geographically located in the following regions of the United States: (1) East (comprising Alabama, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania) (2) Central (comprising, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin) (3) South (comprising Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas) (4) West (comprising Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington) We believe each of these four regions to be good locations with positive demographics and growth potential.
Removed
As of December 31, 2024, Homesites in these geographical markets are expected to be located approximately 20% in the East Region, 25% in the Central Region, 37% in the South Region and 18% in the West Region, respectively, of the aggregate number of the Homesites and prospective Homesites to be developed on the properties included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets.

Removed
Approximately 46% of the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets are concentrated in three states (California, Florida and Texas) in terms of number of Homesites, with a substantial portion (approximately 37%) of the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets located in two strong housing market states: Florida (where Lennar has historically had a large portion of its real estate activities and is continuing to grow its real estate activities) and Texas (where we believe the market has healthy underlying demographic and/or economic trends primarily driven by generally steadily growing population).

We expect that this Property LLC may hold Future Property Assets. ** Or prospective Homesites if fully entitled, as applicable. *** Totals may not foot due to rounding. We expect that total Takedown Prices of all Homesite which are included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets is approximately $11 billion.
Removed
The option exercise price on each Homesite represents the purchase price at which Lennar may purchase such Homesite from us by paying Millrose the purchase price for each such Homesite as set forth in the relevant Project Addenda and pursuant to the terms of the Master Option Agreement.
Removed
The total Takedown Prices are calculated based on the value of the Transferred Assets at the time of the Distribution by Lennar (which may be different than the value as of December 31, 2024 reflected in this Form 10-K) and based on the value of the Supplemental Transferred Assets at the time of the closing of the Supplemental Transferred Assets Transaction by Lennar.

The Real Estate Portfolio contains a broad range of properties and land that can be used for constructing homes appropriate for first-time, move-up, active adult, luxury and multi-generational homebuyers in a variety of locations ranging from urban communities to suburban golf course communities.
Removed
The Homesites in our Real Estate Portfolio are in communities that we believe have stable demographics and have historically exhibited favorable home buying trends, such as strong population and income growth. All of the properties included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets are covered by what the Manager believes to be adequate insurance.
Removed
Development of the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets Pursuant to the Master Construction Agreement, Lennar has the obligation to perform Work in order to have all Horizontal Development on the Homesites completed.
Removed
Lennar is generally responsible for the completion of, and has control over, the construction means and methods and will be solely responsible for any acts or omissions of its or its subcontractors’ employees performing the Work.
Removed
Millrose Holdings finances all costs actually incurred by Lennar in the performance of the Work relating only to Horizontal Development, up to the agreed-upon budget for each Homesite set forth in the applicable Project Addendum.
Removed
Lennar is responsible for costs and expenses in excess of the pre-agreed budget required to complete the Work relating to Horizontal Development and, subsequently, for all costs required for home construction by Lennar.
Removed
In addition, subject to reimbursement from Millrose Holdings in accordance with the Lennar Agreements, Lennar is responsible for providing and paying for all labor, materials and construction equipment necessary to facilitate its services and engaging any third-party professional engineers necessary to complete the Work, as well as all applicable fees, 100 Table of Contents taxes and permits pertaining to the Work.
Removed
If Lennar breaches the terms of the Master Construction Agreement, Millrose Holdings may order Lennar to stop the Work or make good on such deficiencies. A summary of the key terms and provisions of the Lennar Agreements can be found under “Part III, Item 13.
Removed
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Transactions with Lennar.” The estimated development costs relating to the Horizontal Development of each property into Homesites differ depending on the status and level of development of such property.
Removed
As of December 31, 2024, we expect that total estimated development costs of Homesites which are included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets are approximately $4 billion.
Removed
Estimated development costs are calculated based on all the anticipated costs of completing the Work and represent the total amount allocated to each component of the Work, in accordance with the terms of the Master Construction Agreement.
Removed
Such estimates are subject to changes, increases and decreases depending on various factors, including macroeconomics conditions and costs of development materials but are subject to the limitations on the total amount allocated to each component of the Work, as set forth in the Master Construction Agreement. See “Part III, Item 13.
Removed
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Transactions with Lennar” for more information. Millrose Holdings (through the Property LLCs) expects to pay the predetermined budgeted Horizontal Development costs pursuant to the terms of the Master Construction Agreement. A summary of the key terms and provisions of the Lennar Agreements can be found under “Part III, Item 13.
Removed
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Transactions with Lennar.” As described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, (i) neither Millrose nor Millrose Holdings can guarantee that Lennar will exercise its Purchase Options with respect to the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets or continue to pay its Monthly Option Payments but (ii) we expect that substantially all, if not all, of the Homesites and prospective Homesites included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets will be purchased by Lennar pursuant to its option under the terms of the Master Option Agreement.
Removed
In the event the payments received from Lennar are not sufficient to cover any development costs required by the Master Construction Agreement, Millrose Holdings may be required to find alternative sources of capital, including through loans, credit facilities, or by issuing its securities in the capital markets.
Removed
We have a revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement and may seek to pursue additional debt financing. However, there is no guarantee that such sources of additional cash will be obtained or will be sufficient and we may need to seek additional financing to pay all Horizontal Development costs for Lennar’s projects.
Removed
However, pursuant to the Lennar Agreements, Millrose may not enter into any third-party financing arrangements if such financing arrangement would cause the collective debt to equity ratio of Millrose and its affiliates to exceed 1:1, unless it obtains the prior approval of Lennar.
Removed
Further, Millrose is restricted from obtaining any secured financing arrangements without Lennar’s consent, if it decides to contribute both properties covered by the Lennar Agreements and properties of Other Customers into the same collateral pool.
Removed
In terms of future capital commitments on the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets, since Millrose and Millrose Holdings have already acquired such Transferred Assets and Supplemental Transferred Assets, we are expecting future capital commitments on such properties to be limited to any development costs to be paid out in connection with, and in accordance with the terms of, the Lennar Agreements.
Removed
As a result, we expect that Millrose’s and Millrose Holdings’ total capital commitment on the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets will be limited to the estimated development costs for each of the Homesites and prospective Homesite included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets, considering the level of development and scope of approvals of each of the properties included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets.
Removed
As of December 31, 2024, the median estimated capital commitment and the average estimated capital commitment for each property included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets was $219,044 and $6.3 million, respectively.
Removed
The lower median estimated capital commitment is due to the 101 Table of Contents proportion of Transferred Assets and Supplemental Transferred Assets that are finished Homesites that do not require additional capital commitments.
Removed
In addition, considering the level of development of each property included in the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets, we are expecting to sell Homesites back to Lennar over time as they are being developed (or directly to the ultimate homeowner, as instructed by Lennar).
Removed
The Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets are expected to have a short cash conversion cycle. This contrasts with more traditional arrangements which are longer dated and push out cash conversion.
Removed
Millrose has a revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement and may seek to pursue additional debt financing, which Millrose expects to use to manage cash needs and reduce drag on returns, as well as for use to provide the HOPP’R to Other Customers.
Removed
The expected takedowns on the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets are based on Lennar’s management current expectations and are subject to changes depending on various factors, including macroeconomic conditions and, in particular, real estate market conditions. We rely on the Manager to monitor these takedowns of the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets.
Removed
We cannot predict or estimate the actual timing of or any delays in Lennar’s eventual takedowns of these properties, or if Lennar decides not to exercise its option to purchase any such property.
Removed
Pooling of the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets With minimal exceptions, we intend that all properties included in the Real Estate Portfolio will be pooled with other properties pursuant to the Multiparty Cross Agreements, as further described under “Part III, Item 13.
Removed
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Transactions with Lennar—Multiparty Cross Agreement.” All Transferred Assets and Supplemental Transferred Assets are pooled in accordance with the applicable Multiparty Cross Agreements.
Removed
This pooling mechanism is intended to protect Millrose against any “cherry-picking” by Lennar of more marketable properties while leaving Millrose with unexercised options over properties that have depreciated in value or are otherwise no longer as marketable.
Removed
When properties are pooled together, if Lennar were to decline to exercise the purchase option for any property, Lennar would lose the option to purchase the other Pool Properties in the same pool under the applicable Multiparty Cross Agreement.
Removed
The pooling of properties comprising the Transferred Assets and the Supplemental Transferred Assets is intended to allow Millrose to use multiple properties as collateral, thereby spreading the risk across various assets.
Removed
In the event that one property underperforms or faces difficulties, Lennar would risk losing access to the other, potentially better-performing, properties in the same pool, to the extent it decides to walk away from a discrete property in that pool.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to a number of market risks in the ordinary course of business. Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates and other market changes that affect market sensitive investments.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are exposed to a number of market risks in the ordinary course of business. Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates and other market changes that affect our debt obligations and market sensitive investments.
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of (i) their effect on the market for new homes, and therefore on the likelihood that Purchase Options will be exercised, (ii) our Credit Agreement, and (iii) if we need to obtain other long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our investment portfolio and operations.
Interest Rate Risk Interest rate changes may affect (i) the market for new homes, and therefore the likelihood that purchase options will be exercised, (ii) our debt obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes, and (iii) our ability to obtain other long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our investment portfolio and operations.
Removed
Interest Rate Risk In pursuing our business and investment objectives, one of the primary risks in which we are exposed is interest rate risk.
Added
Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate” (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), plus an applicable per annum spread rate of 2.00%-2.50% based on the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). All outstanding principal is due and payable upon termination of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Removed
We expect to be subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness under our Credit Agreement and changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt.
Added
Variable changes in interest rates related to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate are generally not expected to affect the fair value of outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility but do affect our earnings and cash flows. As of December 31, 2025, we had $110 million outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Removed
Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate set forth in a pricing schedule based on the current level of the Company’s leverage ratio. At December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, as the Credit Agreement was entered into on February 7, 2025.
Added
Assuming no change in the amount outstanding as of December 31, 2025, a one percent (1%) increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a corresponding increase or decrease in annual interest expense of approximately $1.1 million. Fixed rate debt related to our 2030 Notes and 2032 Notes bear interest of 6.375% and 6.250%, respectively.
Removed
However, we will be exposed to market risk related to interest rates in the future.
Added
Changes in market interest rates generally affect the fair value of these instruments, but not our earnings or cash flows. Outstanding debt for Senior Notes, net of issuance costs, was approximately $1.969 billion as of December 31, 2025, and their carrying value approximates their fair value.
Removed
We believe significant interest rate changes would not have a material near-term impact on our future earnings or cash flows. 121 Table of Contents We do not currently engage in hedging, but if we acquire derivatives to hedge our exposure, we will also be exposed to market risk.
Added
Hedging Activities We do not currently engage in hedging activities and do not hold any derivative instruments or other financial contracts for hedging purposes. If we were to enter into hedging arrangements in the future, those instruments could expose us to market risk, including the potential effects of changes in interest rates.
Removed
Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
Added
Limitations of Market Risk The sensitivity analysis above is based on variable-rate borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and assumes no changes in debt balances, no hedging activities, and a parallel change in interest rates.
Removed
With regard to variable rate financing, the Manager will assess our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.
Added
Actual impacts may differ due to changes in borrowings and repayments during the period, future financings, the timing of cash flows, changes in reference rates and spreads (including SOFR), and actions we may take to manage our exposure.
Removed
The Manager will maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions.
Added
Comparative market risk information for 2024 is not presented because the predecessor period did not have material market risk exposures and the information is not comparable. 89
Removed
While our hedging strategy will be designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, they may reduce the overall returns on our investments. Our Board has not yet established policies and procedures regarding our use of derivative financial instruments for hedging or other purposes. 122 Table of Contents
