NVR, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Dan Malzahn
  Office: (703) 956-4204
     
 
October 21, 2008, Reston, VA—NVR, Inc. (NYSE: NVR), one of the nation’s largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced that diluted earnings per share and net income for its third quarter ended September 30, 2008 decreased 60% when compared to the 2007 third quarter. Net income for the 2008 third quarter was $36,551,000, $6.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $91,113,000, $15.26 per diluted share, for the same period of 2007. Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2008 totaled $939,211,000, a 27% decrease from $1,292,088,000 for the comparable 2007 quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consolidated revenues were $2,782,865,000, 25% lower than the $3,701,945,000 reported for the same period of 2007. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $131,349,000, a decrease of 51% when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $22.21, a decrease of 47% from $42.25 per diluted share for the comparable period of 2007.

Homebuilding

New orders in the third quarter of 2008 decreased 25% to 2,002 units, when compared to 2,660 units in the third quarter of 2007. The cancellation rate in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was 24% compared to 27% in the third quarter of 2007 and 19% in the second quarter of 2008. Settlements decreased in the third quarter of 2008 to 2,750 units, 21% less than the same period of 2007. The Company’s backlog of homes sold but not settled at the end of the 2008 quarter decreased on a unit basis by 35% to 4,583 units and 44% on a dollar basis to $1,499,830,000 when compared to the same period last year.

Homebuilding revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $928,265,000, 27% lower than the year earlier period. Gross profit margins decreased to 13.2% in the 2008 third quarter compared to 14.4% for the same period in 2007. Gross profit margins were impacted by land deposit impairments of approximately $43,000,000, 461 basis points of revenue, in the 2008 third quarter, and approximately $97,000,000, 760 basis points of revenue, in the year ago period. Gross profit margins excluding the land deposit impairments were 17.8% in the 2008 third quarter compared to 22.0% for the same period in 2007. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $56,535,000 in the 2008 third quarter, a decrease of 56% when compared to the third quarter of the previous year. Operating unit activity and financial performance are being negatively impacted by high levels of new and existing home inventories, affordability issues, a tight mortgage lending environment and declining homebuyer confidence.





Mortgage Banking

Mortgage closed loan production of $610,313,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 23% lower than the same period last year. Operating income for the mortgage banking operations during the third quarter of 2008 decreased 76% to $4,072,000, when compared to $16,814,000 reported for the same period of 2007. Operating income in the current quarter was negatively impacted by a $4,100,000 decrease in unrealized income from the fair value measurements required under SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, and more competitive mortgage pricing.
