NVR, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

RESTON, Va., Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NVR, Inc. (NYSE: NVR), one of the nation's largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced net income for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $429.3 million, or $130.50 per diluted share.  For the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, net income decreased 1% and diluted earnings per share increased 4%, when compared to 2023 third quarter net income of $433.2 million, or $125.26 per diluted share.  Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $2.73 billion, which increased 6% from $2.57 billion in the third quarter of 2023. 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, consolidated revenues were $7.68 billion, an 8% increase from $7.09 billion reported for the same period of 2023. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.22 billion, an increase of 4% when compared to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $1.18 billion. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $367.20, an increase of 7% from $341.97 per diluted share for the same period of 2023.

Homebuilding

New orders in the third quarter of 2024 increased by 19% to 5,650 units, when compared to 4,746 units in the third quarter of 2023. The average sales price of new orders in the third quarter of 2024 was $450,700, a decrease of 1% when compared with the third quarter of 2023.  The cancellation rate in the third quarter of 2024 was 15% compared to 14% in the third quarter of 2023.  Settlements in the third quarter of 2024 increased by 5% to 5,908 units, compared to 5,606 units in the third quarter of 2023. The average settlement price in the third quarter of 2024 was $453,200, an increase of 1% when compared with the third quarter of 2023. Our backlog of homes sold but not settled as of September 30, 2024 increased on a unit basis by 9% to 11,339 units and increased on a dollar basis by 11% to $5.32 billion when compared to the respective backlog unit and dollar balances as of September 30, 2023.

Homebuilding revenues of $2.68 billion in the third quarter of 2024 increased by 7% compared to homebuilding revenues of $2.51 billion in the third quarter of 2023.  Gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2024 decreased to 23.4%, from 24.3% in the third quarter of 2023. Gross profit margin was negatively impacted by higher lot costs and closing cost assistance. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $503.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 1% when compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage closed loan production in the third quarter of 2024 totaled $1.66 billion, an increase of 2% when compared to the third quarter of 2023.  Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment totaled $34.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 9% when compared to $38.5 million in the third quarter of 2023.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in secondary marketing gains on sales of loans.

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 20.3% and 20.6%, respectively, compared to 19.7% and 18.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.  The increase in the effective tax rate in each period is primarily attributable to a lower income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled $23.1 million and $73.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $31.9 million and $111.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
