RESTON, Va., April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NVR, Inc. (NYSE: NVR), one of the nation's largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced net income for its first quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $394.3 million, or $116.41 per diluted share. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased 14% and 17%, respectively, when compared to 2023 first quarter net income of $344.4 million, or $99.89 per diluted share.  Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $2.33 billion, which increased 7% from $2.18 billion in the first quarter of 2023. 

Homebuilding

New orders in the first quarter of 2024 increased by 3% to 6,049 units, when compared to 5,888 units in the first quarter of 2023. The average sales price of new orders in the first quarter of 2024 was $454,300, an increase of 3% when compared with the first quarter of 2023. The cancellation rate in the first quarter of 2024 was 13% compared to 14% in the first quarter of 2023.  Settlements in the first quarter of 2024 increased by 10% to 5,089 units, compared to 4,639 units in the first quarter of 2023. The average settlement price in the first quarter of 2024 was $449,200, a decrease of 2% from the first quarter of 2023. Our backlog of homes sold but not settled as of March 31, 2024 increased on a unit basis by 7% to 11,189 units and increased on a dollar basis by 9% to $5.22 billion when compared to the respective backlog unit and dollar balances as of March 31, 2023.

Homebuilding revenues of $2.29 billion in the first quarter of 2024 increased by 7% compared to homebuilding revenues of $2.13 billion in the first quarter of 2023. Gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2024 decreased slightly to 24.5%, compared to 24.6% in the first quarter of 2023. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $441.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 9% when compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage closed loan production in the first quarter of 2024 totaled $1.38 billion, an increase of 11% when compared to the first quarter of 2023. Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment totaled $29.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 3% when compared to $28.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. 

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 16.2% compared to 20.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2024 is primarily attributable to a higher income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled $43.8 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
