1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“NVR”, the “Company”, "we", "us" or "our") and certain other entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (see Notes 2 and 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals except as otherwise noted herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in the ASU require disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and for the entity to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The amendments in the ASU are to be applied on a prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the
5

(unaudited)
impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 and do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Lot Purchase Agreements (“LPAs”)
We generally do not engage in land development. Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots at market prices from various third party land development entities under LPAs. The LPAs require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the LPAs. The deposits required under the LPAs are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts, and typically range up to 10 % of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots.
The deposit placed by us pursuant to the LPA is deemed to be a variable interest in the respective development entities. Those development entities are deemed to be VIEs. Therefore, the development entities with which we enter into LPAs, including the joint venture limited liability corporations discussed below, are evaluated for possible consolidation by us. We have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of the development entities with which we enter into LPAs, and therefore, we do not consolidate any of these VIEs.
As of March 31, 2025, we controlled approximately 159,000 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $792,600 and $4,600 , respectively. Our sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these LPAs is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provisions contained in the LPAs and, in very limited circumstances, specific performance obligations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred pre-tax impairment charges on lot deposits of approximately $8,100 . For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a net expense reversal of approximately $7,500 related to previously impaired lot deposits based on market conditions. Our contract land deposit asset is shown net of a $66,700 and $58,597 impairment allowance as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
In addition, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 40,300 lots, which are not included in the number of total lots controlled. Some of these properties may require rezoning or other approvals to achieve the expected yield. These properties are controlled with cash deposits totaling approximately $31,300 as of March 31, 2025, of which approximately $7,600 is refundable if certain contractual conditions are not met. We generally expect to assign the raw land contracts to a land developer and simultaneously enter into an LPA with the assignee if the project is determined to be feasible.
Our total risk of loss related to contract land deposits is limited to the amount of the deposits pursuant to the liquidated damages provision of the LPAs. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our total risk of loss was as follows:

| Allowance for losses on contract land deposits | ( | ( | ||||||||||||

| Contingent obligations in the form of letters of credit | ||||||||||||||
| Total risk of loss | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
3. Joint Ventures
On a limited basis, we obtain finished lots using joint venture limited liability corporations (“JVs”). The JVs are typically structured such that we are a non-controlling member and are at risk only for the amount we have
6
NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
invested, or have committed to invest, in addition to any deposits placed under LPAs with the joint venture. We are not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any debt of the JVs, as applicable. We enter into LPAs to purchase lots from these JVs, and as a result have a variable interest in these JVs. We determined that we are not the primary beneficiary in any of the JVs because we and the other JV partner either share power or the other JV partner has the controlling financial interest.
As of March 31, 2025, we had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $37,700 in four JVs that are expected to produce approximately 6,050 finished lots, of which approximately 5,700 lots were controlled by us and the remaining approximately 350 lots were either under contract with unrelated parties or not currently under contract. We had additional JV funding commitments totaling approximately $12,400 as of March 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, our aggregate investment in JVs totaled approximately $29,300 . Investments in JVs for the respective periods are reported in the homebuilding “Other assets” line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. None of the JVs had any indicators of impairment as of March 31, 2025.
We recognize income from the JVs as a reduction to the lot cost of the lots purchased from the respective JVs when the homes are settled, based on the expected total profitability and the total number of lots expected to be produced by the respective JVs.
We classify distributions received from unconsolidated JVs using the cumulative earnings approach. As a result, distributions received up to the amount of cumulative earnings recognized by us are reported as distributions of earnings and those in excess of that amount are reported as a distribution of capital. These distributions are classified within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from operating activities and investing activities, respectively.
4. Land Under Development
On a limited basis, we directly acquire raw land parcels already zoned for its intended use to develop into finished lots. Land under development includes the land acquisition costs, direct improvement costs, capitalized interest, where applicable, and real estate taxes.
5. Capitalized Interest
We capitalize interest costs to land under development during the active development of finished lots. In addition, we capitalize interest costs to our joint venture investments while the investments are considered qualified assets pursuant to ASC Topic 835-20 - Interest. Capitalized interest is transferred to inventory as the development of finished lots is completed, then charged to cost of sales upon our settlement of homes and the respective lots. Interest incurred in excess of the interest capitalizable based on the level of qualified assets is expensed in the period incurred.

6. Earnings per Share

The following non-qualified stock options ("Options") and restricted share units ("RSUs") issued under equity incentive plans were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

We issued 10,091 and 38,977 shares from the treasury account during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in settlement of Option exercises and vesting of RSUs. Shares are relieved from the treasury account based on the weighted average cost basis of treasury shares.

8. Product Warranties
We establish warranty and product liability reserves (“Warranty Reserve”) to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to our homebuilding business. Liability estimates are determined based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as historical experience, the estimated current cost of corrective action, manufacturers’ and subcontractors’ participation in sharing the cost of corrective action, consultations with third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with our general counsel and outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases. The warranty reserve for the respective periods is reported in the homebuilding “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table reflects the changes in our Warranty Reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

| Warranty reserve, end of period | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
9. Segment Disclosures
We disclose four homebuilding operating and reportable segments that aggregate geographically our homebuilding divisions, and we present our mortgage banking operations as a single reportable segment. The homebuilding reportable segments are comprised of divisions in the following geographic areas:
| Mid Atlantic: | Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C. | |||||||
| North East: | New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania | |||||||
| Mid East: | New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois | |||||||
| South East: | North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky | |||||||
The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), identified as the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes segment profit to evaluate the performance of the Company's homebuilding and mortgage banking operating segments against the annual plan to make resource allocation decisions.
Homebuilding segment profit includes all revenues and income generated from the sale of homes, less the cost of homes sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and a corporate capital allocation charge. The corporate capital allocation charge is eliminated in consolidation and is based on the segment’s average net assets employed. The corporate capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the CODM to determine whether the operating segment’s results are providing the desired rate of return after covering our cost of capital.
Assets not allocated to the operating segments are not included in either the operating segment’s corporate capital allocation charge or the CODM’s evaluation of the operating segment’s performance. We record charges on contract land deposits when it is determined that it is probable that recovery of the deposit is impaired. For segment reporting purposes, impairments on contract land deposits are charged to the operating segment upon the termination of an LPA with the developer, or the restructuring of an LPA resulting in the forfeiture of the deposit.
Mortgage banking segment profit consists of revenues generated from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the costs of such services and general and administrative costs, including certain corporate overhead functions. Mortgage banking operations are not charged a corporate capital allocation charge.

(unaudited)
In addition to the corporate capital allocation and contract land deposit impairments discussed above, the other reconciling items between segment profit and consolidated profit before taxes include unallocated corporate overhead (including all management incentive compensation), equity-based compensation expense, consolidation adjustments and external corporate interest income and expense. Our overhead functions such as accounting, treasury and human resources are centrally performed and the costs are not allocated to our operating segments. Consolidation adjustments consist of such items necessary to convert the reportable segments’ results, which are predominantly maintained on a cash basis, to a full accrual basis for external financial statement presentation purposes, and are not allocated to our operating segments. External corporate interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on our 3.00 % Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Senior Notes”), which are not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

10. Fair Value
GAAP assigns a fair value hierarchy to the inputs used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.
Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of our Senior Notes as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $825,561 and $811,161 , respectively. The estimated fair value is based on recent market prices of similar transactions, which is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $910,633 and $911,118 , respectively.
Due to the short term nature of our cash equivalents, we believe that the differences between their carrying value and fair value are insignificant.
Derivative Instruments and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
In the normal course of business, our wholly-owned mortgage subsidiary, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to our homebuyers with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers "lock-in" a specified interest rate within time frames

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
established by NVRM, and some of these commitments include a prepaid float down option. All borrowers are evaluated for credit worthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the "lock-in" of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, NVRM enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to investors. The forward sales contracts lock-in a range of interest rates and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. NVRM does not engage in speculative or trading derivative activities. Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to investors are undesignated derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings. As of March 31, 2025, there were contractual commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $2,151,993 and open forward delivery contracts aggregating $2,176,644 , which hedge both the rate lock commitments and closed loans held for sale.
The fair value of NVRM’s rate lock commitments to borrowers and the related input levels include, as applicable:
i)the assumed gain/loss of the expected resultant loan sale (Level 2);
ii)the effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date (Level 2); and
iii)the value of the servicing rights associated with the loan (Level 2).
The assumed gain/loss considers the excess servicing to be received or buydown fees to be paid upon securitization of the loan. The excess servicing and buydown fees are calculated pursuant to contractual terms with investors. To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, NVRM utilizes applicable published mortgage-backed security prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount. NVRM sells its loans primarily on a servicing released basis, and receives a servicing released premium upon sale. Thus, the value of the servicing rights is included in the fair value measurement and is based upon contractual terms with investors and varies depending on the loan type. NVRM assumes a fallout rate when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments. Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which NVRM does not close a mortgage loan and is based on historical experience and market conditions.
The fair value of NVRM’s forward sales contracts to investors solely considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date (Level 2). The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.
Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value when closed, and thereafter are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, net of deferred origination costs, until sold. Fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of loans held for sale of $391,914 included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet was increased by $7,403 from the aggregate principal balance of $384,511 . As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of loans held for sale of $355,209 was increased by $2,720 from the aggregate principal balance of $352,489 .

Unrealized gains/losses from the change in the fair value measurements are included in earnings as a component of mortgage banking fees in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value measurement will be impacted in the future by the change in the value of the servicing rights, interest rate movements, security price fluctuations, and the volume and product mix of NVRM’s closed loans and locked loan commitments.
11. Debt
As of March 31, 2025, we had the following debt instruments outstanding:
Senior Notes
Our outstanding Senior Notes have an aggregate principal balance of $900,000 , mature on May 15, 2030 and bear interest at 3.00 %, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 . The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any of our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The Senior Notes were issued in three separate issuances, $600,000 issued at a discount to yield 3.02 %, and the two additional issuances totaling $300,000 issued at a premium to yield 2.00 %. The Senior Notes have been reflected net of the unamortized discount or premium, as applicable, and the unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(unaudited)
The indenture governing the Senior Notes does not contain any financial covenants; however, it does contain, among other items, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict our ability to create, incur, assume or guarantee secured debt, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and conditions related to mergers and/or the sale of assets. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Notes as of March 31, 2025.
Credit Agreement
On March 11, 2025, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Amended Credit Agreement") providing for a $300,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility among the lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent. The Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Company's previous credit agreement dated February 12, 2021 and most recently amended December 9, 2022, that contained substantially similar terms, and extends the maturity date from February 11, 2026 to March 11, 2030. The Amended Credit Agreement has an uncommitted accordion feature allowing the Company to increase the commitment by an additional $300,000 , subject to certain conditions and availability of additional Lender commitments. Additionally, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, of which approximately $10,700 was outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that are substantially similar to those set forth in the prior Credit Agreement, including a maximum leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio/minimum liquidity and a minimum tangible net worth. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of March 31, 2025.
Repurchase Agreement
NVRM provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from its operations, borrowings from its parent company, NVR, as well as a revolving mortgage repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”), which is non-recourse to NVR. The Repurchase Agreement provides for loan purchases up to $150,000 , subject to certain sub-limits. Amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement are collateralized by the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, and based on advice of legal counsel, this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred in connection with outstanding litigation are expensed as incurred.
13. Leases
We have operating leases for our corporate and division offices, production facilities, model homes, and certain office and production equipment. Additionally, we have finance leases for certain production equipment and facilities which are recorded in homebuilding "Property, plant and equipment, net" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities were $38,732 and $41,397 , respectively, as of March 31, 2025, and $37,638 and $40,036 , respectively, as of December 31, 2024. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 15.4 years, some of which include options to extend the lease for up to 20 years, and some of which include options to terminate the lease.
We recognize operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected to use the portfolio approach for certain equipment leases which have similar lease terms and payment schedules. Additionally, for certain equipment we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Our sublease income is de minimis.

We have certain leases, primarily the leases of model homes, which have initial lease terms of twelve months or less ("Short-term leases"). We elected to exclude these leases from the recognition requirements under Topic 842, and these leases have not been included in our recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Business Environment and Current Outlook
During the first quarter of 2025, demand for new homes was negatively impacted by continued affordability issues, declining consumer confidence and economic volatility. We expect that affordability issues, interest rate volatility and economic volatility may continue to weigh on demand and home prices. We also expect to continue to face margin pressure due to the previously mentioned affordability issues and cost pressure. Although we are unable to predict the extent to which this will impact our operational and financial performance, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise from future economic and homebuilding market volatility due to the strength of our balance sheet and our disciplined lot acquisition strategy.
Business
Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominiums, all of which are primarily constructed on a pre-sold basis. To fully serve customers of our homebuilding operations, we also operate a mortgage banking and title services business. We primarily conduct our operations in mature markets. Additionally, we generally grow our business through market share gains in our existing markets and by expanding into markets contiguous to our current active markets. Our four homebuilding
19
reportable segments consist of the following regions:
| Mid Atlantic: | Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C. | |||||||
| North East: | New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania | |||||||
| Mid East: | New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois | |||||||
| South East: | North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky | |||||||
Our lot acquisition strategy is predicated upon avoiding the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and development. We generally do not engage in land development (see discussion below of our land development activities). Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots from various third party land developers pursuant to fixed price finished lot purchase agreements (“LPAs”). These LPAs require deposits, typically ranging up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots, in the form of cash or letters of credit that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the LPA. This strategy has allowed us to maximize inventory turnover, which we believe enables us to minimize market risk and to operate with less capital, thereby enhancing rates of return on equity and total capital.
In addition to constructing homes primarily on a pre-sold basis and utilizing what we believe is a conservative lot acquisition strategy, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets, which we believe contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets. Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build.
In certain specific strategic circumstances, we deviate from our historical lot acquisition strategy and engage in joint venture arrangements with land developers or directly acquire raw ground already zoned for its intended use for development. Once we acquire control of raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter into an LPA with the developer to purchase the finished lots or to hire a developer to develop the land on our behalf. While joint venture arrangements and direct land development activity are not our preferred method of acquiring finished building lots, we may enter into additional transactions in the future on a limited basis where there exists a compelling strategic or prudent financial reason to do so. We expect, however, to continue to acquire substantially all our finished lot inventory using LPAs with forfeitable deposits.
As of March 31, 2025, we controlled approximately 167,600 lots as described below.
Lot Purchase Agreements
We controlled approximately 159,000 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $792,600 and $4,600, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 12,500 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment allowance of approximately $66,700 as of March 31, 2025.
Joint Venture Limited Liability Corporations (“JVs”)
We had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $37,700 in four JVs, expected to produce approximately 6,050 lots. Of the lots to be produced by the JVs, approximately 5,700 lots were controlled by us and approximately 350 were either under contract with unrelated parties or currently not under contract. We had additional JV funding commitments totaling approximately $12,400 as of March 31, 2025.
Land Under Development
We owned land with a carrying value of approximately $70,000 that we intend to develop into approximately 2,900 finished lots.
See Notes 2, 3 and 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding LPAs, JVs and land under development, respectively.
Raw Land Purchase Agreements
In addition, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 40,300 lots, which are not included in the number of total lots controlled. Some of these properties
20
may require rezoning or other approvals to achieve the expected yield. As of March 31, 2025, these properties are controlled with deposits in cash totaling approximately $31,300, of which approximately $7,600 is refundable if certain contractual conditions are not met. We generally expect to assign the raw land contracts to a land developer and simultaneously enter into an LPA with the assignee if the project is determined to be feasible.
Key Financial Results
Our consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $2,403,032, a 3% increase from the first quarter of 2024. Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $299,576, or $94.83 per diluted share, decreases of 24% and 19% when compared to net income and diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2024, respectively. Our homebuilding gross profit margin percentage decreased to 21.9% in the first quarter of 2025 from 24.5% in the first quarter of 2024. New orders, net of cancellations (“New Orders”) decreased by 12% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The average sales price for New Orders in the first quarter of 2025 was $448.5, a decrease of 1% compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Consolidated Homebuilding - Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Homebuilding revenues increased 3% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, as a result of a 1% increase in the number of units settled coupled with a 2% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in the number of units settled was attributable to a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 4% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 2025 compared to backlog entering 2024. The gross profit margin percentage in the first quarter of 2025 decreased to 21.9%, compared to 24.5% in the first quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin was negatively impacted by higher lot costs and pricing pressure due to continued affordability challenges. Additionally, gross profit margins were negatively impacted by an approximate $8,100 lot deposit impairment charge in the first quarter of 2025 compared to an approximate $7,500 expense reversal related to previously impaired lot deposits in the first quarter of 2024.
The number of New Orders decreased 12% and the average sales price decreased 1% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. New Orders were negatively impacted by a 6% decrease in the average number of active communities and a lower sales absorption rate, due in part to a higher cancellation rate quarter
21
over quarter. The decrease in the average sales price of New Orders is primarily attributable to a shift in New Orders to our South East segment, which has lower average sales prices than our other segments.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense in the first quarter of 2025 increased by approximately $12,600 compared to the first quarter of 2024, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 7.0% from 6.7%. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $10,300 in personnel costs due primarily to increased headcount quarter over quarter.
Our backlog represents homes sold but not yet settled with our customers. As of March 31, 2025, our backlog decreased on a unit basis by 9% to 10,165 units and on a dollar basis by 7% to $4,837,847 when compared to 11,189 units and $5,218,598, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. The decrease in the number of backlog units was primarily attributable to a 3% lower backlog unit balance entering 2025 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2024 coupled with the aforementioned 12% decrease in new orders quarter over quarter. Backlog dollars were lower primarily due to the decrease in backlog units in 2025.
Our backlog may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, such as failure to obtain mortgage financing, inability to sell an existing home, job loss, or a variety of other reasons. In any period, a portion of the cancellations that we experience are related to new sales that occurred during the same period, and a portion are related to sales that occurred in prior periods and therefore appeared in the opening backlog for the current period. Our first quarter cancellation rate was approximately 16% and 13% for 2025 and 2024, respectively, calculated as the total of all cancellations during the period as a percentage of gross sales during that same period. During the most recent four quarters, approximately 5% of the quarter’s opening backlog cancelled during the fiscal quarter. We can provide no assurance that our historical cancellation rates are indicative of the actual cancellation rate that may occur during the remainder of 2025 or future years. Other than those units that are cancelled, we expect to settle substantially all of our March 31, 2025 backlog within the next twelve months.
The rate at which we turn over our backlog is impacted by various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in New Order activity, internal production capacity, external subcontractor capacity, building material availability and other external factors over which we do not exercise control.
Reportable Segments
Homebuilding segment profit includes all revenues and income generated from the sale of homes, less the cost of homes sold, SG&A expenses, and a corporate capital allocation charge determined by corporate management. The corporate capital allocation charge eliminates in consolidation and is based on the segment’s average net assets employed. The corporate capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the Chief Operating Decision Maker to determine whether the operating segment is providing the desired rate of return after covering our cost of capital.
We record impairment charges on contract land deposits when we determine that it is probable that recovery of the deposit is impaired. For segment reporting purposes, impairments on contract land deposits are generally charged to the operating segment upon the termination of an LPA with the developer, or the restructuring of an LPA resulting in the forfeiture of the deposit. We evaluate our entire net contract land deposit portfolio for impairment each quarter. For presentation purposes below, the contract land deposit allowance as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 has been allocated to the respective year’s reportable segments to show contract land deposits on a net basis. The net contract land deposit balances below also include approximately $4,600 and $8,700 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of letters of credit issued as deposits in lieu of cash.
The following tables summarize certain homebuilding operating activity by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Mid Atlantic
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $3,100, or 2%, decrease in segment profit in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, due primarily to a decrease in gross profit margins to 24.1% in the first quarter of 2025 from 25.7% in the same period of 2024, offset partially by a 6% increase in revenues quarter over quarter. Gross profit margins were negatively impacted by higher lot costs and pricing pressure due primarily to continued affordability challenges. Segment revenues increased due to a 4% increase in the number of units settled, coupled with a 2% increase in the average settlement price quarter over quarter. The increase in the number of units settled was attributable to a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement
25
price was primarily attributable to a 4% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 2025 compared to backlog entering 2024.
Segment New Orders decreased 18%, while the average sales price of New Orders remained relatively flat in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. New Orders were lower primarily due to a 24% decrease in the average number of active communities, offset partially by a 7% higher sales absorption rate.
North East
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The North East segment had an approximate $8,300, or 18%, increase in segment profit in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, due primarily to an increase in segment revenues of approximately $33,200, or 13%. Segment revenues increased due primarily to an 11% increase in the average settlement price quarter over quarter, attributable to a 9% higher average price of units in backlog entering 2025 compared to backlog entering 2024. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage remained relatively flat quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders decreased 28% while the average sales price of new orders increased 13%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in New Orders was primarily attributable to a 30% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter. The average sales price of New Orders was favorably impacted by a shift to higher priced communities in certain markets within the segment.
Mid East
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The Mid East segment had an approximate $12,800, or 19%, decrease in segment profit in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, due primarily to a decrease in gross profit margin percentage and an increase in SG&A costs. The segment's gross profit margin percentage decreased to 20.4% in the first quarter of 2025 from 22.6% in the first quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin percentage was negatively impacted by higher lot costs and an increase in certain operating costs quarter over quarter. SG&A costs increased 8%, quarter over quarter, due primarily to a 9% increase in personnel costs.
Segment New Orders decreased 13%, while the average sales price of New Orders increased 2% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in New Orders was primarily attributable to a 6% decrease in average number of active communities quarter over quarter, coupled with a 7% lower sales absorption rate.
South East
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The South East segment had an approximate $45,700, or 50%, decrease in segment profit in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in segment profit was primarily due to a decrease in the segment's gross profit margin percentage, a decrease in segment revenues and an increase in SG&A expenses. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 19.7% in the first quarter of 2025 from 24.5% in the first quarter of 2024. Gross profit margins were negatively impacted by higher lot costs, an increase in certain operating costs, and by pricing pressure attributable to continued affordability challenges. Segment revenues decreased approximately $29,100, or 5%, quarter over quarter primarily due to a 4% decrease in the average settlement price. The decrease in the average settlement price was attributable to a 1% lower average sales price of units in backlog entering 2025 compared to backlog entering 2024, and a shift in settlements to lower priced markets within the segment. SG&A expenses were 22% higher quarter over quarter, resulting primarily from higher personnel costs and by higher marketing costs associated a 20% increase in the average number of active communities.
Segment New Orders increased 1% while the average sales price of New Orders decreased 4% in the first quarter of 2025 when compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase in New Orders was primarily attributable to a 20% increase in average number of active communities, offset by a 16% lower absorption rate within the segment quarter over quarter. Both the absorption rate and the average sales price of New Orders have been negatively impacted by rising inventory levels in several of the markets within the segment.

Homebuilding Segment Reconciliations to Consolidated Homebuilding Operations
In addition to the corporate capital allocation and contract land deposit impairments discussed above, the other reconciling items between homebuilding segment profit and homebuilding consolidated income before tax include unallocated corporate overhead (which includes all management incentive compensation), equity-based compensation expense, consolidation adjustments and external corporate interest expense. Our overhead functions, such as accounting, treasury and human resources, are centrally performed and the costs are not allocated to our operating segments. Consolidation adjustments consist of such items to convert the reportable segments’ results, which are predominantly maintained on a cash basis, to a full accrual basis for external financial statement presentation purposes, and are not allocated to our operating segments. External corporate interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on our Senior Notes, and is not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

Mortgage Banking Segment
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
We conduct our mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses exclusively on serving the homebuilding segment customer base. NVRM sells the loans it originates into the secondary markets primarily on a servicing-released basis, typically within 30 days from the loan closing. The following table summarizes the results of our mortgage banking operations and certain statistical data for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Loan closing volume for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by approximately $54,900, or 4%, from the same period in 2024. The increase in loan closing volume during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the 4% increase in the average principal amount per loan closed in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.
28
Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by approximately $4,100, or 14%, from the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage banking fees, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses. Mortgage banking fees increased by approximately $5,300, or 11%, due to higher gains on sales of loans. General and administrative expenses increased by $800, or 3%, which was the result of increased personnel costs.
Seasonality
We historically have experienced variability in our quarterly results, generally having higher New Order activity in the first half of the year and higher home settlements, revenue and net income in the second half of the year. However, in recent years our typical seasonal trends have been affected by significant changes in market conditions. As a result, our quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 25.5% compared to 16.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2025 is primarily attributable to a lower income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled approximately $2,700 and $43,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
We expect continued tax rate volatility in future periods attributable to the recognition of excess tax benefits from equity-based awards activity and distributions from the deferred compensation plans. Given the limited number of participants in our deferred compensation plan, the retirement of a participant could result in a significant distribution of the rabbi trust shares and corresponding tax deduction for the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We fund our operations primarily from our current cash holdings and cash flows generated by operating activities. In addition, we have available a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility and revolving mortgage repurchase facility, as further described below. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $2,200,000 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $289,300 in unused committed capacity under our revolving credit facility and $150,000 in unused committed capacity under our revolving mortgage repurchase facility.
Material Cash Requirements
We believe that our current cash holdings, cash generated from operations, and cash available under our short-term unsecured credit agreement and revolving mortgage repurchase facility, as well as the public debt and equity markets, will be sufficient to satisfy both our short term and long term cash requirements for working capital to support our daily operations and meet commitments under our contractual obligations with third parties. Our material contractual obligations primarily consist of the following:
(i) Payments due to service our debt and interest on that debt. Our current outstanding Senior Notes total $900,000 and mature in May 2030. Future interest payments on our outstanding Senior Notes total approximately $145,050, with $27,000 due within the next twelve months.
(ii) Payment obligations totaling approximately $627,000 under existing LPAs for deposits to be paid to land developers, assuming that contractual development milestones are met by the developers and we exercise our option to acquire finished lots under those LPAs. We expect to make the majority of these payments within the next three years.
(iii) Obligations under operating and finance leases related primarily to office space and our production facilities (see Note 13 of this Form 10-Q for additional discussion of our leases).
In addition to funding growth in our homebuilding and mortgage banking operations, we historically have used a substantial portion of our excess liquidity to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock in open market and privately negotiated transactions. This ongoing repurchase program assists us in accomplishing our
29
primary objective, creating increases in shareholder value. See Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of repurchase activity during the first quarter of 2025. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 77,120 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $583,394. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $284,800 available under Board approved repurchase authorizations.
Capital Resources
Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2025, we had Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $900,000, which mature in May 2030. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any of our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, will rank senior in right of payment to any of our future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes and will be effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The indenture governing the Senior Notes does not contain any financial covenants; however, it does contain, among other items, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict our ability to create, incur, assume or guarantee secured debt, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and conditions related to mergers and/or the sale of assets. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Notes as of March 31, 2025.
Credit Agreement
On March 11, 2025, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Amended Credit Agreement") providing for a five year, $300,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility among the lenders which may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Company's previous credit agreement dated February 12, 2021 and most recently amended December 9, 2022, that contained substantially similar terms, and extends the maturity date from February 11, 2026 to March 11, 2030. The Amended Credit Agreement has an uncommitted accordion feature allowing the Company to increase the aggregate commitment to $600 million, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional Lender commitments. Additionally, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, of which approximately $10,700 was outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that are substantially similar to those set forth in the prior Credit Agreement, including a maximum leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio/minimum liquidity and a minimum tangible net worth. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025.
Repurchase Agreement
NVRM has an unsecured revolving mortgage repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Agreement”) which provides for aggregate borrowings up to $150,000 and is non-recourse to NVR. The Repurchase Agreement expires on July 14, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement as of March 31, 2025. Prior to its expiration, we expect to renew the Repurchase Agreement with terms substantially similar to those in the current agreement.
There have been no changes to our Repurchase Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For additional information regarding lines of credit and senior notes, see Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents decreased by $376,757. Net cash provided by operating activities was $207,781, due primarily to cash provided by earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $55,502. Cash was primarily used to fund the increase in inventory of $51,665, attributable to an increase in units under construction as of March 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, and net mortgage loan activity of $59,685.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $15,016. Cash was used primarily for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $8,167 and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $7,059.
30
Net cash used in financing activities was $569,522 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash was used to repurchase 77,120 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $583,394 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed above. Cash was provided from stock option exercise proceeds totaling $14,938.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we fully utilized the remaining amount available under our $750 million share repurchase authorization that was publicly announced on May 7, 2024. On December 11, 2024, we publicly announced that our Board of Directors had approved an additional repurchase authorization in the amount of up to $750 million. The share repurchase authorization authorized the repurchase of our outstanding common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions, with no expiration date. Repurchase activity is typically executed in accordance with the safe-harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The following table provides information regarding common stock repurchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2025:
