Millrose Properties Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

 

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 6, 2026 – 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:

 

•
Net income attributable to Millrose common shareholders of $122.9 million, or $0.74 per share
•
Total revenues: $194.9 million (option fees and development loan income)
•
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO): $125.9 million, or $0.76 per share.

 

1

 

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

 

•
Lennar Master Program Agreement: The Lennar relationship remains foundational to the Millrose platform, providing a stable base of recurring cash flow. For the first quarter of 2026, Millrose received $626 million in net cash proceeds from homesite sales to Lennar and redeployed $524 million into new land acquisitions and development funding. As of March 31, 2026, the Lennar homesites under option contracts were $6.4 billion and the Lennar Invested Capital balance was approximately $6 billion with a weighted average yield of 8.5%.
•
Other Agreements: Millrose funded an additional $465 million under Other Agreements at a weighted average yield of 10.7%, bringing homesites under option contracts and other related assets to $3.1 billion and Invested Capital net of realized homesite sales of $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2026. This capital growth of approximately $365 million compared to the prior quarter reflects the organic expansion of Millrose's business model, including the continued diversification of its builder base to 16 counterparties outside of Lennar, highlighted by the addition of a top-10 national homebuilder.
•
Portfolio Composition: Millrose ended the quarter with over 143,000 homesites across 904 communities in 30 states as of March 31, 2026. This represents an on-track expansion from the 142,000 homesites reported at the end of the fourth quarter, reflecting the Company's ability to efficiently scale its national footprint through its proprietary technology platform.

 

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

2

 

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.

About Millrose Properties, Inc.

 

Millrose is the premier homesite option platform for residential homebuilders, specializing in the acquisition and horizontal development of land to provide a predictable, just-in-time supply of finished homesites – the most scarce and mission-critical resource in homebuilding. Unlike traditional land bankers, Millrose uses a proprietary technology platform that provides real-time data analytics to drive acquisition decisions, with every transaction subject to rigorous independent due diligence. By enabling an asset-light model, Millrose provides its diverse roster of homebuilder partners with the strategic flexibility to maintain production volumes and optimize balance sheet efficiency across all market environments.

 

The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of items that have not yet occurred, as well as quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.

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.
