NVR, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Office:
(703) 956-4204

July 22, 2008, Reston, VA—NVR, Inc. (NYSE: NVR), one of the nation’s largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced that diluted earnings per share for its second quarter ended June 30, 2008 decreased 39% and net income decreased 43% when compared to the 2007 second quarter. Net income for the 2008 second quarter was $51,332,000, $8.64 per diluted share, compared to net income of $90,747,000, $14.14 per diluted share, for the same period of 2007. Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $955,723,000, a 27% decrease from $1,316,668,000 for the comparable 2007 quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, consolidated revenues were $1,843,654,000, 23% lower than the $2,409,857,000 reported for the same period of 2007. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $94,798,000, a decrease of 46% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $16.10, a decrease of 41% from $27.11 per diluted share for the comparable period of 2007.

Homebuilding

New orders in the second quarter of 2008 decreased 29% to 2,670 units, when compared to 3,745 units in the second quarter of 2007. New order units and gross profit margins continue to be negatively impacted by high levels of new and existing home inventories, affordability issues, a more restrictive mortgage lending environment and declining homebuyer confidence. The cancellation rate in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was 19% compared to 16% in the second quarter of 2007 and 22% in the first quarter of 2008.

Settlements decreased in the second quarter of 2008 to 2,750 units, 21% less than the same period of 2007. Homebuilding revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $941,033,000, 27% lower than the year earlier period. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $79,262,000 in the 2008 second quarter, a decrease of 42% when compared to the second quarter of the previous year. Gross profit margins decreased to 17.9% in the 2008 second quarter compared to 18.1% for the same period in 2007. Gross profit margins were impacted by land deposit impairments of approximately $5,800,000, 62 basis points, in the 2008 second quarter, and $55,000,000, 424 basis points, in the year ago period. Gross profit margins excluding the impairments were 18.5% in the 2008 second quarter compared to 22.4% for the same period in 2007. This decline in gross profit margin excluding impairments was due to continued pricing pressure in many of our markets. The Company’s backlog of homes sold but not settled at the end of the 2008 quarter decreased on a unit basis by 32% to 5,331 units and 41% on a dollar basis to $1,820,482,000 when compared to the same period last year.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage closed loan production of $593,867,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 30% lower than the same period last year. Operating income for the mortgage banking operations during the second quarter of 2008 decreased 39% to $7,155,000, when compared to $11,719,000 reported for the same period of 2007.
