1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. (“NVR”, the “Company”, "we", "us" or "our") and its subsidiaries 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, 2022. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Homebuilding revenue is recognized on the settlement date at the contract sales price, when control is transferred to our customers. Our contract liabilities, which consist of deposits received from customers on homes not settled, were $355,311 and $313,804 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We expect that substantially all of the customer deposits held at December 31, 2022 will be recognized in revenue in 2023. Our contract assets consist of prepaid sales compensation and totaled approximately $18,900 and $15,300, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Prepaid sales compensation is included in homebuilding “Other assets” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2. Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

Fixed Price Finished Lot Purchase Agreements (“LPAs”)

We generally do not engage in the land development business. Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots at market prices from various 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.

NVR, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

As of September 30, 2023, we controlled approximately 127,000 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $568,500 and $7,200, 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 September 30, 2023, we incurred pre-tax impairment charges on lot deposits of approximately $3,800. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we recorded a net reversal of approximately $6,200 related to previously impaired lot deposits based on current market conditions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred pre-tax impairment charges on lot deposits of approximately $8,800 and $2,500, respectively, based on market conditions. Our contract land deposit asset is shown net of a $50,183 and $57,060 impairment reserve at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

In addition, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 23,700 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 deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $11,900 and $100, respectively, as of September 30, 2023, of which approximately $2,800 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our total risk of loss was as follows:

September 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Contract land deposits$580,353$553,140
Loss reserve on contract land deposits(50,183)(57,060)
Contract land deposits, net530,170496,080
Contingent obligations in the form of letters of credit7,2826,896
Total risk of loss$537,452$502,976

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 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.

At September 30, 2023, we had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $28,100 in four JVs that are expected to produce approximately 5,250 finished lots, of which approximately 4,900 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 funding commitments totaling approximately $12,000 to one of the JVs at September 30, 2023. At December 31, 2022, our aggregate investment in JV's totaled approximately $27,200. 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 September 30, 2023.

NVR, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

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 their 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.

During the third quarter of 2023, we had the following land under development transactions:

–Purchased a raw land parcel for approximately $19,000, which is expected to produce approximately 500 lots.

–Completed the development of one land parcel and transferred development costs totaling approximately $5,200 to finished lots which is reported in "Unsold lots and housing units" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, we owned land with a carrying value of $41,238 that we intend to develop into approximately 2,000 finished lots. We have additional funding commitments of approximately $1,700 under a joint development agreement related to one project, a portion of which we expect will be offset by development credits of approximately $900. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of land under development was $27,100. None of the raw parcels had any indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2023.

5. Capitalized Interest

We capitalize interest costs to land under development during the active development of finished lots. In addition, we capitalize interest costs on our JV investments while the investments are considered qualified assets pursuant to ASC Topic 835-20 - Interest. Capitalized interest is transferred to sold or unsold 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.

The following table reflects the changes in our capitalized interest during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

The following non-qualified stock options ("Options") and restricted stock units ("RSUs") issued under equity incentive plans were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

We repurchased 88,016 and 295,148 shares of our outstanding common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. We issued 15,840 and 59,559 shares from the treasury account during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, in settlement of Option exercises.

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 following table reflects the changes in our Warranty Reserve during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

9. Segment Disclosures

Our homebuilding operations are aggregated geographically into four homebuilding reportable segments and our mortgage banking operations are presented as one reportable segment. The homebuilding reportable segments

NVR, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

are comprised of operating 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 and Georgia

Homebuilding profit before tax 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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (“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 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. Mortgage banking profit before tax consists of revenues generated from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the costs of such services and general and administrative costs. Mortgage banking operations are not charged a corporate capital allocation charge.

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 tax include unallocated corporate overhead (including 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 these 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.

(4)The consolidation adjustments and other for the three and nine month periods of 2023 and 2022 is primarily driven by units under construction as well as significant fluctuations in lumber prices year over year. Our reportable segments' results include the intercompany profits of our production facilities for home packages delivered to our homebuilding divisions. Costs related to homes not yet settled are reversed through the consolidation adjustment and recorded in inventory. These costs are subsequently recorded through the consolidation adjustment when the respective homes are settled. In both the three and nine month periods of 2023, the consolidation adjustment was favorably impacted by a reduction in the number of units under construction year over year, resulting in a decrease in intercompany profits deferred, as compared to the three and nine month periods of 2022. In the three month period of 2022, the consolidation adjustment was negatively impacted by the recognition of previously deferred home package costs that included significantly higher priced lumber.

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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $751,050 and $788,166, 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 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $913,496 and $914,888, respectively. Except as otherwise noted below, we believe that insignificant differences exist between the carrying value and the fair value of our financial instruments, which consist primarily of cash equivalents, due to their short term nature.

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 established by NVRM. All mortgagors 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 a broker/dealer. 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 broker/dealers. The forward sales contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. NVRM does not engage in speculative derivative activities. Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers are undesignated derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings. At September 30, 2023, there were rate lock commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $2,491,104 and

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

open forward delivery contracts aggregating $2,622,053, 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 all of its loans 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.

The fair value of NVRM’s forward sales contracts to broker/dealers 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 September 30, 2023, the fair value of loans held for sale of $325,792 included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet was reduced by $6,345 from the aggregate principal balance of $332,137. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of loans held for sale of $316,806 was reduced by $2,675 from the aggregate principal balance of $319,481.

The fair value measurement of NVRM's undesignated derivative instruments was as follows:

September 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Rate lock commitments:
Gross assets$42,215$32,246
Gross liabilities55,97220,946

Forward sales contracts:
Gross assets$23,255$4,843
Gross liabilities26620,903
Net forward sales contracts$22,989$(16,060)

As of September 30, 2023, the net rate lock commitments are reported in mortgage banking "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" and the net forward sales contracts are reported in mortgage banking "Other assets," on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the net rate lock

The total fair value measurement as of December 31, 2022 was a net loss of $7,435. NVRM recorded a fair value adjustment to expense of $32,167 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and recorded a fair value adjustment to income of $10,322 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. NVRM recorded a fair value adjustment to expense of $28,828 and $46,258 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. 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 September 30, 2023, 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.

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 at September 30, 2023.

Credit Agreement

We have an unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $300,000 (the “Facility”). Under the Credit Agreement, we may request increases of up to $300,000 to the Facility in the form of revolving loan commitments or term loans to the extent that new or existing lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan or term loan commitments. The Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, of which approximately $12,500 was outstanding at September 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement termination date is February 12, 2026. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Facility at September 30, 2023.

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.

Effective July 19, 2023, NVRM entered into the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as Agent and a Buyer (the "Amended MRA"), which extended the term of the Repurchase Agreement through July 17, 2024. All other terms and conditions under the Amended Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. At September 30, 2023, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement and there were no borrowings outstanding.

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 one of our production 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 $12,836 and $14,394, respectively, as of September 30, 2023, and $13,745 and $15,002, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 16.9 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.
