Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of NVR, Inc. (“NVR” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and certain other entities in which the
Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (see Note 2 to the accompanying 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 the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 six
month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, comprehensive income equaled
net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the
accompanying financial statements.

2. Variable Interest Entities and Joint Ventures
Fixed Price Purchase Agreements
NVR generally does not engage in the land development business. Instead, the Company
typically acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under
fixed price purchase agreements. The purchase agreements require deposits that may be forfeited if
NVR fails to perform under the agreement. The deposits required under the purchase agreements 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.
NVR believes this lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks
associated with direct land ownership and land development. NVR may, at its option, choose for any
reason and at any time not to perform under these purchase agreements by delivering notice of its
intent not to acquire the finished lots under contract. NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic
loss for failure to perform under these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit
pursuant to the liquidated damage provisions contained within the purchase agreements. In other
words, if NVR does not perform under a purchase agreement, NVR loses only its deposit. None of the
creditors of any of the development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements
have recourse to the general credit of NVR. NVR generally does not have any specific performance
obligations to purchase a certain number or any of the lots, nor does NVR guarantee completion of
the development by the developer or guarantee any of the developers’ financial or other
liabilities.
NVR is not involved in the design or creation of any of the development entities from which
the Company purchases lots under fixed price purchase agreements. The developer’s equity holders
have the power to direct 100% of the operating activities of the development entity. NVR has no
voting rights in any of the development entities. The sole purpose of the development entity’s
activities is to generate positive cash
flow returns to its equity holders. Further, NVR does not share in any of the profit or loss
generated by the project’s development. The profits and losses are passed directly to the
developer’s equity holders.
The deposit placed by NVR pursuant to the fixed price purchase agreement is deemed to be a
variable interest in the respective development entities. Those development entities are deemed to
be variable interest entities (“VIE”). Therefore, the development entities with which NVR enters
fixed price purchase agreements, including the joint venture limited liability corporations, as
discussed below, are evaluated for possible consolidation by NVR. An enterprise must consolidate a
VIE when that enterprise has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. An enterprise is deemed
to have a controlling financial interest if it has i) the power to direct the activities of a
variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and ii)
the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE or the rights to
receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
NVR believes the activities that most significantly impact a development entity’s economic
performance are the operating activities of the entity. Unless and until a development entity
completes finished building lots through the development process to be able to sell, the process of
which the development entities’ equity investors bear the full risk, the entity does not earn any
revenues. The operating development activities are managed solely by the development entity’s
equity investors.
The development entities with which NVR contracts to buy finished lots typically select the
respective projects, obtain the necessary zoning approvals, obtain the financing required with no
support or guarantees from NVR, select who will purchase the finished lots and at what price, and
manage the completion of the infrastructure improvements, all for the purpose of generating a cash
flow return to the development entity’s equity holders and all independent of NVR. The Company
possesses no more than limited protective legal rights through the purchase agreement in the
specific finished lots that it is purchasing, and NVR possesses no participative rights in the
development entities. Accordingly, NVR does not have the power to direct the activities of a
developer that most significantly impact the developer’s economic performance. For this reason,
NVR has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the development entities with which the
Company enters fixed price purchase agreements, and therefore, NVR does not consolidate any of
these VIEs.
As discussed above, NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under
these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage
provisions contained within the purchase agreements and in very limited circumstances, specific
performance obligations. NVR’s total risk of loss related to contract land deposits as of June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010, is as follows:
Joint Ventures
On a limited basis, NVR also obtains finished lots using joint venture limited liability
corporations (“JVs”). All JVs are typically structured such that NVR is a non-controlling member
and is at risk only for the amount it has invested, in addition to any deposits place under fixed
price purchase agreements with the joint venture. NVR is not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on
any debt of the JVs, as applicable. The Company enters into a standard fixed price purchase
agreement to purchase lots from these JVs, and as a result has a variable interest in these JVs.
During the second quarter of 2011, NVR invested $61,250 for a fifty percent (50%) interest in
a joint venture entered into with Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing, which holds the other fifty
percent interest. NVR is not contractually committed to making any additional investments in the
JV, nor will it be a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any debt of the joint venture, as
applicable. The joint venture acquired nine separate parcels of land from entities controlled by a
single developer that are in various stages of development and all nine parcels are zoned for their
intended use. The joint venture controls approximately 5,600 lots within the nine parcels, as
follows:
Substantially all of the 2,881 lots under contract with the joint venture noted above were
previously controlled by NVR under contracts with the prior developer, and those lots were formerly
reported in NVR’s lots controlled total. In 2008, NVR recorded a valuation reserve on the deposits
related to those lots.
At June 30, 2011, the Company had investments in four JVs that are expected to produce
approximately 6,600 finished lots. In addition, at June 30, 2011, NVR had additional funding
commitments in the aggregate totaling $5,000 to one of the four JVs. The Company has determined
that it is not the primary beneficiary of three of the JVs because NVR and the other JV partner
either share power or the other JV partner has the controlling financial interest. The aggregate
investment in these three JVs was approximately $77,200 and is reported in the Other assets line
item in accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the remaining JV, NVR has
concluded that it is the primary beneficiary because the Company has the controlling financial
interest in the JV. The condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, of the
consolidated JV are as follows:

3. Land Under Development
On a limited basis, NVR directly acquires raw parcels of land already zoned for its 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. As of
June 30, 2011, NVR directly owned three separate raw parcels of land with a carrying value of
approximately $78,500 that it intends to develop into approximately 850 finished lots for use in
its homebuilding operations. All three of the raw parcels are located in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area and none of them had any indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2011. Based on
current market conditions, NVR may, on a very limited basis, directly acquire additional raw
parcels to develop into finished lots. See the Overview section of Item 2, Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein for additional
discussion.

As of June 30, 2011, NVR controlled approximately 49,100 lots with deposits in cash and
letters of credit of $197,300 and $3,100, respectively. At December 31, 2010, NVR controlled
approximately 50,400 lots with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately
$174,300 and $6,600, respectively. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, the
Company recognized a net pre-tax charge of approximately $2,700 and $4,100, respectively, related
to the impairment of contract land deposits. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2010,
the Company recognized a net pre-tax contract land deposit impairment charge of approximately $970
and for the six-month period recognized a net pre-tax recovery of approximately $950 of contract
land deposits previously determined to be uncollectible. The contract land deposit asset is shown
net of an approximate $68,100 and $73,500 impairment valuation allowance at June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, respectively.

5. Earnings per Share
The following weighted average shares and share equivalents are used to calculate basic and
diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:
The assumed proceeds used in the treasury method for calculating NVR’s diluted earnings
per share includes the amount the employee must pay upon exercise, the amount of compensation cost
attributed to future services and not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be
credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the option or the vesting of the
restricted share unit. The assumed amount credited to additional paid-in capital equals the tax
benefit from assumed exercise of stock options or the assumed vesting of restricted share units
after consideration of the intrinsic value upon assumed exercise less the actual stock-based
compensation expense to be recognized in the income statement from 2006 and future periods.
Stock options issued under equity benefit plans to purchase 449,134 and
448,810 shares of common stock were outstanding during the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2011, and stock options issued under equity benefit plans to purchase 435,548 and 434,206
shares of common stock were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, but
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have
been anti-dilutive in the respective periods.

| Excess Reorganization Value |
6. Excess Reorganization Value
Reorganization value in excess of identifiable assets (“excess reorganization value”) is an
indefinite life intangible asset that was created upon NVR’s emergence from bankruptcy on September
30, 1993. Based on the allocation of the reorganization value, the portion of the reorganization
value which was not attributed to specific tangible or intangible assets has been reported as
excess reorganization value, which is treated similarly to goodwill. Excess reorganization value
is not subject to amortization. Rather, excess reorganization value is subject to an impairment
assessment on an annual basis or more frequently if changes in events or circumstances indicate
that impairment may have occurred. Because excess reorganization value was based on the
reorganization value of NVR’s entire enterprise upon bankruptcy emergence, the impairment
assessment is conducted on an enterprise basis based on the comparison of NVR’s total equity
compared to the market value of NVR’s outstanding publicly-traded common stock. The Company
completed the annual assessment of impairment during the first quarter of 2011 and determined that
there was no impairment of excess reorganization value.

8. Product Warranties
The Company establishes 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 NVR’s homebuilding business. Liability estimates are
determined based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as historical experience, the
likely 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 the Company’s warranty reserve during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

9. Segment Disclosures
The following disclosure includes four homebuilding reportable segments that aggregate
geographically the Company’s homebuilding operating segments, and the mortgage banking operations
presented as a single reportable segment. The homebuilding reportable segments are comprised of
operating divisions in the following geographic areas:
Homebuilding Mid Atlantic - Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware
Homebuilding North East - New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania
Homebuilding Mid East - Kentucky, New York, Ohio, western Pennsylvania and
Indiana
Homebuilding South East - North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee
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 eliminates in consolidation, is
based on the segment’s average net assets employed, and is charged using a consistent methodology
in the periods presented. The corporate capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows
the Chief Operating Decision Maker to determine whether the operating segment’s results are
providing the desired rate of return after covering the Company’s cost of capital. The Company
records 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 charged to the operating segment upon the determination to terminate a finished lot purchase
agreement with the developer, or to restructure a lot purchase agreement 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 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. NVR’s overhead functions, such as accounting, treasury, human resources, etc., are
centrally performed and the costs are not allocated to the Company’s 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 the Company’s operating
segments. Likewise, equity-based compensation expense is not charged to the operating segments.
Following are tables presenting revenues, segment profit and segment assets for each
reportable segment, with reconciliations to the amounts reported for the consolidated enterprise,
where applicable:

| Fair Value |
10. Fair Value
Financial Instruments
Except as otherwise noted here, NVR believes that insignificant differences exist between the
carrying value and the fair value of its financial instruments.
Derivative Instruments and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
In the normal course of business, NVR’s mortgage banking segment enters into contractual
commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates. The
commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within time
frames established by NVR. 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, the Company enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell
whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The forward sale contracts lock in
an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments.
NVR does not engage in speculative or trading 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 June 30, 2011, there
were contractual commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $158,084 and open forward
delivery contracts aggregating $316,053.
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. The fair value of the Company’s
rate lock commitments to borrowers and the related input levels includes, as applicable:
The assumed gain/loss considers the amount that the Company has discounted the price to the
borrower from par for competitive reasons and 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,
the Company 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. The Company 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, which averaged 128 basis
points of the loan amount as of June 30, 2011, is included in the fair value measurement and is
based upon contractual terms with investors and varies depending on the loan type. The Company
assumes an approximate 9% fallout rate when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments.
Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which the Company does not close a mortgage loan
and is based on historical experience.
The fair value of the Company’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. The
fair value of loans held-for-sale of $181,525 included in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet has been increased by $1,692 from the aggregate principal balance of $179,833.
The undesignated derivative instruments are included in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as follows:
The unrealized gain or loss from the change in the fair value measurements is included in
earnings as a component of mortgage banking fees in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of income as follows:
The fair value measurement will be impacted in the future by the change in the value of
the servicing rights and the volume and product mix of the Company’s closed loans and locked loan
commitments.

11. Debt
NVR’s mortgage banking wholly-owned subsidiary, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), has a
revolving mortgage repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Facility”) that provides for loan purchases
up to $100,000, subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the Repurchase Agreement provides for
an accordion feature under which NVRM may request that the aggregate commitments under the
Repurchase Agreement be increased to an amount up to $125,000. At June 30, 2011, there was
approximately $89,600 outstanding under the Repurchase Facility, which is included in Mortgage
Banking “Note payable” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Amounts
outstanding under the Repurchase Facility are collateralized by the Company’s mortgage loans held
for sale. As of June 30, 2011, there were no borrowing
base limitations reducing the amount
available for borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement. The average Pricing Rate on outstanding
balances at June 30, 2011 was 4.1%.
The Repurchase Agreement expired on August 2, 2011. NVRM entered into a new repurchase
agreement, effective with the current repurchase agreement’s expiration, with a reduced available
purchase limit of $25,000. NVRM primarily will use internally generated cash and borrowings from
NVR to fund its mortgage origination activity.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
On July 18, 2007, former and current employees filed lawsuits against the Company in the Court
of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and Hamilton County, Ohio, in Superior Court in
Durham County, North Carolina, and in the Circuit Court in Montgomery County, Maryland, and on July
19, 2007 in the Superior Court in New Jersey, alleging that the Company incorrectly classified its
sales and marketing representatives as being exempt from overtime wages. These lawsuits are similar
in nature to another lawsuit filed on October 29, 2004 by another former employee in the United
States District Court for the Western District of New York. The complaints seek injunctive relief,
an award of unpaid wages, including fringe benefits, liquidated damages equal to the overtime wages
allegedly due and not paid, attorney and other fees and interest, and where available, multiple
damages. The suits were filed as purported class actions. However, while a number of individuals
have filed consents to join and assert federal claims in the New York action, none of the groups of
employees that the lawsuits purport to represent have been certified as a class. The lawsuits filed
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and North Carolina have been stayed pending further
developments in the New York action.
The Company believes that its compensation practices in regard to sales and marketing
representatives are entirely lawful and in compliance with two letter rulings from the United
States Department of Labor (“DOL”) issued in January 2007. The two courts to most recently consider
similar claims against other homebuilders have acknowledged the DOL’s position that sales and
marketing representatives were properly classified as exempt from overtime wages and the only court
to have directly addressed the exempt status of such employees concluded that the DOL’s position
was valid. Accordingly, the Company has vigorously defended and intends to continue to vigorously
defend these lawsuits. Because the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable
outcome of this case, or the amount of damages, if any, the Company has not recorded any associated
liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In June 2010, the Company received a Request for Information from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act. The
request sought information about storm water discharge practices in connection with homebuilding
projects completed or underway by the Company. The Company has cooperated with this request, has
provided information to the EPA and intends to continue cooperating with any future EPA inquiries.
At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this inquiry, nor can it reasonably
estimate the potential costs that may be associated with its eventual resolution.
In April 2010, NVRM received a Report of Examination (“ROE”) from the Office of the
Commissioner of Banks of the State of North Carolina (the “NCCOB”) reporting certain findings that
resulted from the NCCOB’s examination of selected files relating to loans originated by NVRM in
North Carolina between August 1, 2006 and August 31, 2009. The ROE alleged that certain of the loan
files reflected violations of North Carolina and/or U.S. lending or consumer protection laws. The
ROE requested that NVRM correct or otherwise address the alleged violations and in some instances
requested that NVRM undertake an examination of all of its other loans in North Carolina to
determine whether similar alleged violations may have occurred, and if so, to take corrective
action. NVRM responded to the ROE by letter dated June 10, 2010, contesting the findings and
allegations, providing factual information to correct certain of the findings, and
refuting the
NCCOB’s interpretation of applicable law. On November 15, 2010, the NCCOB provided a written
response to NVRM’s June 10, 2010 letter closing certain alleged violations while reasserting
certain other violations. On January 12, 2011, NVRM responded to the NCCOB’s November 15, 2010
letter providing additional factual information to address the remaining findings, and refuting the
NCCOB’s interpretation of applicable law. Accordingly, while the Company believes that it has
provided the NCCOB with all necessary information to resolve the matter, the Company does not
believe that it can determine the likely outcome of the matter. However, the Company does not
expect resolution of the matter to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in various other 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 the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Legal costs incurred in connection with
outstanding litigation are expensed as incurred.

- Definition
Includes homebuilding currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).
