Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
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 Notes 2 and 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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 months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.
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. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications did not impact total cash from operating, investing or financing activities in the statement of cash flows.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018.
Revenue Recognition
Consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition practice, homebuilding revenue is recognized on the settlement date at the contract sales price, when control is transferred to our customers. Mortgage banking revenue recognition will continue to be governed by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and by ASC Topic 825 - Financial Instruments, and is not subject to Topic 606. See Note 10 for disclosure of revenue by reporting segment.
The Company’s contract liabilities, consisting of deposits received from customers (“Handmoney”) on homes not settled, were $172,033 and $167,486 as of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recognized in revenue approximately $90,000 of the Handmoney held as of March 31, 2018.
The Company’s prepaid sales compensation totaled approximately $20,100 and $19,500, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These amounts are included in homebuilding “Other assets” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred Revenue
Topic 606 no longer requires sellers of real estate to consider the initial and continuing involvement criteria in ASC 360-20, but instead only conclude on the collectibility of the transaction price. On January 1, 2018, the
NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment, net of tax, of $2,196 to recognize deferred profit on home settlements, which the Company had previously determined that there was significant continuing involvement and believed to be fully collectible.
Practical Expedients and Exemption
At contract inception, the performance obligation to complete and settle the home with a customer has an expected duration of less than one year. As a result, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts.
No other adjustments were made as a result of the adoption of Topic 606.
Other recently adopted accounting pronouncements
The Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, effective January 1, 2018. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-15, the Company made the election to classify distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures using the cumulative earnings approach. This election was applied retrospectively, which reclassified a portion of distributions received from the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures between operating and investing activities on the prior year condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and related disclosures.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash, effective January 1, 2018. The amendments in the standard require that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, the Company's beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash balances presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows were retrospectively adjusted to include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Homebuilding restricted cash was attributable to customer deposits for certain home sales. Mortgage banking restricted cash included amounts collected from customers for loans in process and closed mortgage loans held for sale.
The beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalent balances presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include cash related to a consolidated joint venture, which is included in homebuilding "Other assets" on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash related to this consolidated joint venture as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $1,128 and $1,069, respectively, and as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1,199 and $1,214, respectively.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and related disclosures.
The Company also adopted ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting, effective January 1, 2018. The amendments in the standard clarify when changes in a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification, and will allow entities to make certain changes to share-based payment awards without accounting for them as modifications. Under the new guidance, entities will only apply modification accounting if there are substantive changes made to share-based payment awards. If a change made to a share-based payment award does not affect the fair value, vesting conditions and classification as either an equity or liability instrument, modification accounting will not need to be applied. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Fixed Price Finished Lot Purchase Agreements (“Lot 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 Lot Purchase Agreements. The Lot Purchase Agreements require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the Lot Purchase Agreements. The deposits required under the Lot 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 Lot 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 Lot Purchase Agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provisions contained within the Lot Purchase Agreements. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which NVR enters Lot 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 the development entities from which the Company purchases lots under Lot 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 for the 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 Lot Purchase Agreement is deemed to be a variable interest in the respective development entities. Those development entities are deemed to be VIEs. Therefore, the development entities with which NVR enters into Lot Purchase Agreements, including the joint venture limited liability corporations 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 VIE 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. The development entity’s equity investors bear the full risk during the development process. Unless and until a development entity completes finished building lots through the development process, 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 Lot 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 into Lot Purchase Agreements, and therefore, NVR does not consolidate any of these VIEs.

(unaudited)
As of June 30, 2018, NVR controlled approximately 90,100 lots under Lot Purchase Agreements with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $377,400 and $2,700, respectively. As noted above, NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these Lot Purchase Agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provisions contained in the Lot Purchase Agreements.
In addition, NVR has certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 9,900 lots, which are not included in the number of total lots controlled. Some of these properties may require rezoning or other approvals to achieve the expected yield. These properties are controlled with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $10,900 and $100, respectively, as of June 30, 2018, of which approximately $2,100 is refundable if certain contractual conditions are not met. NVR generally expects to assign the raw land contracts to a land developer and simultaneously enter into a Lot Purchase Agreement with the assignee if the project is determined to be feasible.
NVR’s total risk of loss related to contract land deposits as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was as follows:

3. Joint Ventures
On a limited basis, NVR obtains finished lots using joint venture limited liability corporations (“JVs”). The JVs are typically structured such that NVR is a non-controlling member and is at risk only for the amount the Company has invested, or has committed to invest, in addition to any deposits placed under Lot 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 Lot Purchase Agreements to purchase lots from these JVs, and as a result has a variable interest in these JVs.
At June 30, 2018, the Company had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $40,000 in six JVs that are expected to produce approximately 7,000 finished lots, of which approximately 3,650 lots were controlled by the Company and the remaining approximately 3,350 lots were either under contract with unrelated parties or not currently under contract. In addition, NVR had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $5,000 in the aggregate to three of the JVs at June 30, 2018. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of five of the JVs because either NVR and the other JV partner share power or the other JV partner has the controlling financial interest. The aggregate investment in unconsolidated JVs was approximately $39,700 and $49,000 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is reported in the “Other assets” line item on the 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 Company recognizes income from the JVs as a reduction to the lot cost of the lots purchased from the respective JVs when the homes are settled, based on the expected total profitability and the total number of lots expected to be produced by the respective JVs. With the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2018, the Company made the election to classify distributions received from unconsolidated JVs using the cumulative earnings approach. As a result, distributions received up to the amount of cumulative earnings recognized by the Company are reported as distributions of earnings and those in excess of that amount are reported as a distribution of capital. These distributions are classified within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from operating activities and investing activities, respectively. See Note 1 for additional discussion regarding the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-15.
4. Land Under Development
On a limited basis, NVR directly acquires raw land parcels 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, 2018, NVR directly owned a total of four separate raw land parcels with a carrying value of $35,292 that are expected to produce approximately 450 finished lots. The Company also has additional funding commitments of approximately $8,300 under a joint development agreement related to one parcel, a portion of which the Company expects will be offset by development credits of approximately $4,800.
None of the raw parcels had any indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2018.
5. Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest costs to land under development during the active development of finished lots. In addition, the Company capitalizes interest costs to its joint venture investments while the investments are considered qualified assets pursuant to ASC Topic 835-20 - Interest. Capitalized interest is transferred to sold or unsold inventory as the development of finished lots is completed, then charged to cost of sales upon the Company’s settlement of homes and the respective lots. Interest incurred in excess of the interest capitalizable based on the level of qualified assets is expensed in the period incurred.

7. Equity-Based Compensation
The Company’s shareholders approved the NVR, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 2, 2018. The 2018 Plan authorizes the Company to issue Options and restricted share units ("RSUs") to key management employees, including executive officers and members of our Board of Directors ("Directors"), to acquire up to an aggregate 275 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of the 275 aggregate shares available to issue, all may be granted in the form of Options and up to 40 may be granted in the form of RSUs.

To estimate the grant-date fair value of its Options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “Pricing Model”). The Pricing Model estimates the per share fair value of an option on its date of grant based on the following factors: the option’s exercise price, the price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, the estimated dividend yield, a risk-free interest rate, the estimated option term, and the expected volatility. For the risk-free interest rate, the Company uses U.S. Treasury STRIPS which mature at approximately the same time as the option’s expected holding term. For expected volatility, NVR has concluded that its historical volatility over the option’s expected holding term provides the most reasonable basis for this estimate.
The fair value of the Options granted during 2018 was estimated on the grant date using the Pricing Model, based on the following assumptions:
|
| | |
| | 2018 |
Estimated option life (years) | | 5.06 |
Risk-free interest rate (range) | | 2.19% - 2.99% |
Expected volatility (range) | | 16.57% - 18.83% |
Expected dividend rate | | —% |
Weighted average grant date fair value per share of Options granted | | $689.47 |
| | |
The grant date fair value per share of $3,022.99 for the RSUs granted during 2018 was the closing price of the Company's common stock on the day immediately preceding the grant date.
Compensation cost for Options and RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award (from the date of grant through the period of the last separately vesting portion of the grant). For the recognition of equity-based compensation, the Options and RSUs that are subject to a performance condition are treated as a separate award from the “service-only” Options and RSUs, and compensation expense for Options and RSUs subject to a performance condition is recognized when it becomes probable that the stated performance target will be achieved. The Company currently believes that it is probable that the performance
NVR, Inc.

(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
condition will be satisfied at the target level and is recognizing compensation expense related to such Options and RSUs accordingly. Compensation cost is recognized within the income statement in the same expense line as the cash compensation paid to the respective employees.
The Company recognizes forfeitures of equity-based awards as a reduction to compensation costs in the period in which they occur. Total equity-based compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $18,595 and $28,104, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, total equity-based compensation expense recognized was $10,878 and $21,467, respectively.
As of June 30, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation cost for all outstanding Options and RSUs was approximately $347,900. The unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized over each grant’s applicable vesting period, with the latest vesting date being December 31, 2023. Unrecognized compensation costs may change depending on the satisfaction of the performance-based metric, discussed above. The weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation will be recorded is equal to approximately 2.8 years.

9. 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 estimated 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 the Company’s 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, 2018 and 2017:

10. 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 one reportable segment. The homebuilding reportable segments are comprised of operating divisions in the following geographic areas:
|
| | |
Mid Atlantic: | | Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C. |
North East: | | New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania |
Mid East: | | New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois |
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 is eliminated in consolidation and is based on the segment’s average net assets employed. The corporate capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to determine whether the operating segment’s results are providing the desired rate of return after covering the Company’s cost of capital.
Certain assets are not allocated to the operating segments as those assets are neither included in the operating segment’s corporate capital allocation charge, nor in the CODM’s evaluation of the operating segment’s performance. 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 generally charged to the operating segment upon the termination of a Lot Purchase Agreement with the developer, or the restructuring of 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 corporate 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
NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
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 and human resources, 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. External corporate interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on the Company’s 3.95% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”) and is not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.
The following tables present segment revenues, profit and assets with reconciliations to the amounts reported for the consolidated enterprise, where applicable:

11. Fair Value
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.
Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of NVR’s Senior Notes was $630,000 as of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The estimated fair value is based on recent market prices of similar transactions, which is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $597,373 and $597,066, respectively. Except as otherwise noted below, NVR believes that insignificant differences exist between the carrying value and the fair value of its financial instruments, which consist primarily of cash equivalents, due to their short term nature.

Derivative Instruments and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
In the normal course of business, NVR’s wholly-owned mortgage subsidiary, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to NVR’s homebuyers with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers "lock-in" a specified interest rate within time frames established by NVRM. 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, NVRM enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The forward sales contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. NVRM 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, 2018, there were contractual commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $857,052 and open forward delivery contracts aggregating $1,168,371, which hedge both the rate lock loan commitments and closed loans held for sale.
The fair value of NVRM’s rate lock commitments to borrowers and the related input levels include, as applicable:
| |
i) | the assumed gain/loss of the expected resultant loan sale (Level 2); |
| |
ii) | the effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date (Level 2); and |
| |
iii) | the value of the servicing rights associated with the loan (Level 2). |
The assumed gain/loss considers 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, NVRM 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. NVRM 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 is included in the fair value measurement and is based upon contractual terms with investors and varies depending on the loan type. NVRM assumes a fallout rate when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments. Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which NVRM does not close a mortgage loan and is based on historical experience.
The fair value of NVRM’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. Fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of loans held for sale of $399,806 included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet has been increased by $6,548 from the aggregate principal balance of $393,258. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of loans held for sale of $352,489 were increased by $1,931 from the aggregate principal balance of $350,558.

The total fair value measurement as of December 31, 2017 was $5,824. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, NVRM recorded a fair value adjustment to income of $5,585 and $9,599, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, NVRM recorded a fair value adjustment to income of $3,376 and $1,359, respectively. Unrealized gains/losses from the change in the fair value measurements are included in earnings as a component of mortgage banking fees in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value measurement will be impacted in the future by the change in the value of the servicing rights, interest rate movements, security price fluctuations, and the volume and product mix of NVRM’s closed loans and locked loan commitments.
12. Debt
Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had Senior Notes outstanding with a principal balance of $600,000. The Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2022 and bear interest at 3.95%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15. The Senior Notes were issued at a discount to yield 3.97% and have been reflected net of the unamortized discount and unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Credit Agreement
NVR has an unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $200,000 (the “Facility”). Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may request increases of up to $300,000 to the Facility in the form of revolving loan commitments or term loans to the extent that new or
NVR, Inc.

(unaudited)
existing lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan or term loan commitments. The Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, of which approximately $8,500 was outstanding at June 30, 2018, and a $25,000 sublimit for a swing line commitment. The Credit Agreement termination date is July 15, 2021. There was no debt outstanding under the Facility at June 30, 2018.
Repurchase Agreement
NVRM provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from its operations, borrowings from its parent company, NVR, as well as a revolving mortgage repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”), which is non-recourse to NVR. The Repurchase Agreement provides for loan purchases up to $150,000, subject to certain sub-limits. Amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement are collateralized by the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale.
In July 2018, NVRM entered into the Tenth Amendment (the "Amendment") to its Repurchase Agreement, filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. The Amendment removed the $50,000 incremental commitment that was available under the prior Repurchase Agreement. All other terms and conditions under the Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. The Repurchase Agreement expires on July 24, 2019. At June 30, 2018, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement. There was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at June 30, 2018.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various 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.
14. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 15.9% and 14.6%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company's effective tax rate was 29.2% and 26.5%, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the following items:
| |
• | The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, which lowered the Company's federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, and |
| |
• | The retroactive reinstatement of certain expired energy tax credits under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which resulted in the Company recognizing a tax benefit of approximately $6,200 in the first quarter of 2018 related to homes settled in 2017. |
Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was favorably impacted by the recognition of an income tax benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises. This income tax benefit was $26,456 and $46,022 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and was $16,464 and $36,364 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
15. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet with a liability equal to the present value of lease payments over the lease term and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Lessees will recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The standard also requires additional disclosures of key information about leasing arrangements. The standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. Based on its current portfolio of leases, the Company believes that adoption of this standard will result in the recognition of less than $100,000 of right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities on its balance sheet, predominately related to real estate leases.
NVR, Inc.

(unaudited)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which significantly changes the way impairment of financial assets is recognized. The standard will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. The standard’s provisions will be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the effective date. The standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard’s objective is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in the standard, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge would then be recognized, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
Overview
Business
Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominiums, all of which are primarily constructed on a pre-sold basis. To fully serve customers of our homebuilding operations, we also operate a mortgage banking and title services business. We primarily conduct our operations in mature markets. Additionally, we generally grow our business through market share gains in our existing markets and by expanding into markets contiguous to our current active markets. Our four homebuilding reportable segments consist of the following regions:
|
| | |
Mid Atlantic: | | Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C. |
North East: | | New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania |
Mid East: | | New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois |
South East: | | North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee |
Our lot acquisition strategy is predicated upon avoiding the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and development. We generally do not engage in land development (see discussion below of our land development activities). Instead, we typically acquire finished lots at market prices from various third party land developers pursuant to fixed price finished lot purchase agreements (“Lot Purchase Agreements”). These Lot Purchase Agreements require deposits, typically ranging up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots, in the form of cash or letters of credit that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the Lot Purchase Agreement. This strategy has allowed us to maximize inventory turnover, which we believe enables us to minimize market risk and to operate with less capital, thereby enhancing rates of return on equity and total capital.
In addition to constructing homes primarily on a pre-sold basis and utilizing what we believe is a conservative lot acquisition strategy, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets, which we believe contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets. Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build.
In certain specific strategic circumstances, we deviate from our historical lot acquisition strategy and engage in joint venture arrangements with land developers or directly acquire raw ground already zoned for its intended use for development. Once we acquire control of raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter into a Lot Purchase Agreement with the developer to purchase the finished lots or to hire a developer to develop the land on our behalf. While joint venture arrangements and direct land development activity are not our preferred method of acquiring finished building lots, we may enter into additional transactions in the future on a limited basis where there exists a compelling strategic or prudent financial reason to do so. We expect, however, to continue to acquire substantially all our finished lot inventory using Lot Purchase Agreements with forfeitable deposits.
As of June 30, 2018, we controlled lots as described below.
Lot Purchase Agreements
We controlled approximately 90,100 lots under Lot Purchase Agreements with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $377,400 and $2,700, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 4,000 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment reserve of approximately $25,300 as of June 30, 2018.
Joint Venture Limited Liability Corporations (“JVs”)
We had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $40,000 in six JVs, expected to produce approximately 7,000 lots. Of the lots to be produced by the JVs, approximately 3,650 lots were controlled by us and approximately 3,350 were either under contract with unrelated parties or currently not under contract.
Land Under Development
We directly owned four separate raw land parcels, zoned for their intended use, with a cost basis, including development costs, of approximately $35,300 that we intend to develop into approximately 450 finished lots. We had additional funding commitments of approximately $8,300 under a joint development agreement related to one parcel, a portion of which we expect will be offset by development credits of approximately $4,800.
See Notes 2, 3 and 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding Lot Purchase Agreements, JVs and land under development, respectively.
Raw Land Purchase Agreements
In addition to the lots we currently control as discussed above, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 9,900 lots. Some of these properties may require rezoning or other approvals to achieve the expected yield. These properties are controlled with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $10,900 and $100, respectively, as of June 30, 2018, of which approximately $2,100 is refundable if certain contractual conditions are not met. As of June 30, 2018, we have recorded a contract land deposit reserve of approximately $2,000 related to raw land properties. We generally expect to assign the raw land contracts to a land developer and simultaneously enter into a Lot Purchase Agreement with the assignee if the project is determined to be feasible.
Current Business Environment and Key Financial Results
The housing market remained strong in the first six months of 2018. We continued to experience strong new home demand as a result of favorable market conditions, including low unemployment and improved consumer confidence. However, new home prices continued to be constrained due to the competitive market environment.
Our consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $1,787,305, a 16% increase from the second quarter of 2017. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $203,174, or $49.05 per diluted share,
increases of 37% and 39% when compared to net income and diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2017, respectively. Our homebuilding gross profit margin percentage decreased to 19.1% in the second quarter of 2018 from 19.5% in the second quarter of 2017. New orders, net of cancellations (“New Orders”) increased 6% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. The average sales price for New Orders in the second quarter of 2018 of $376.3 was essentially flat compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Net income and diluted earnings per share were favorably impacted by the reduction in our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2018 to 15.9% from 29.2% in the second quarter of 2017. See additional discussion of income taxes in the “Effective Tax Rate” section below.
We believe that a continuation of the housing market recovery is dependent upon a sustained overall economic recovery, driven by continued improvements in job and wage growth and household formation. We expect to face gross margin pressure which will be impacted by modest pricing power and our ability to manage land and construction costs. We also expect to face pressure on mortgage banking profit due to the competitive pricing pressures in the mortgage market. We believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise from future economic and homebuilding market volatility due to the strength of our balance sheet.

Consolidated Homebuilding - Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
Homebuilding revenues increased 16% for the second quarter of 2018 from the same period in 2017, as a result of an 18% increase in the number of units settled, offset partially by a 2% decrease in the average settlement price. The increase in the number of units settled was primarily attributable to a 22% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in the average settlement price was attributable to a 4% lower average price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.
Gross profit margin percentage in the second quarter of 2018 was 19.1%, down 42 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2017, due to higher lot and certain material costs.
The number of New Orders increased 6% while the average sales price of New Orders was essentially flat in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. New Orders increased primarily due to more favorable market conditions in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, which led to higher community absorption rates quarter over quarter.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the second quarter of 2018 increased by 7% when compared to the same period in 2017, but as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.1% in the second quarter of 2018 from 6.6% in the second quarter of 2017. SG&A expense increased primarily due to a $6,400 increase in equity-based compensation due to the granting of non-qualified stock options ("Options") and restricted share units ("RSUs") in the second quarter of 2018 as further discussed in Note 7 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue were favorably impacted by the 16% increase in homebuilding revenues coupled with relatively flat headcount quarter over quarter.
Consolidated Homebuilding - Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
Homebuilding revenues increased 17% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from the same period in 2017, due primarily to a 19% increase in the number of units settled year over year. The increase in the number of units settled was primarily attributable to a 24% higher backlog unit balance entering 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.
Gross profit margin percentage in the first six months of 2018 increased to 18.9% compared to 18.7% in 2017, due primarily to the modest improvement in pricing and to the increase in the number of units settled, which allowed us to better leverage certain operating costs, offset partially by higher lot and certain material costs.
The number of New Orders increased 11% while the average sales price of New Orders decreased by 2% in the first six months of 2018 when compared to the first six months of 2017. New Orders increased in each of our market segments due to continued favorable market conditions in the first six months of 2018 which led to higher community absorption rates year over year. The decrease in the average sales price of New Orders is attributable to a shift to lower priced markets and lower priced products.
SG&A expenses in the first six months of 2018 increased by 7% when compared to the first six months of 2017, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs and an increase in equity-based compensation due to the aforementioned second quarter equity grant. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.5% from 7.2% year over year, due primarily to the 17% increase in revenues.
Backlog units and dollars were 10,162 units and $3,861,853, respectively, as of June 30, 2018 compared to 8,813 units and $3,444,964, respectively, as of June 30, 2017. The 15% increase in backlog units was primarily attributable to the aforementioned 11% increase in New Orders, coupled with lower backlog turnover rate year over year. Backlog dollars were favorably impacted by the increase in backlog units.
Backlog, which represents homes sold but not yet settled with the customer, may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, such as failure to obtain mortgage financing, inability to sell an existing home, job loss, or a variety of other reasons. In any period, a portion of the cancellations that we experience are related to new sales that occurred during the same period, and a portion are related to sales that occurred in prior periods and therefore appeared in the opening backlog for the current period. Expressed as the total of all cancellations during the period as a percentage of gross sales during the period, our cancellation rate was 13.3% and 14.2% in the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the most recent four quarters, approximately 5% of a reporting quarter’s opening backlog cancelled during the fiscal quarter. We can provide no assurance that our historical cancellation rates are indicative of the actual cancellation rate that may occur during the remainder of 2018 or future years. Other than those units that are cancelled, we expect to settle substantially all of our June 30, 2018 backlog within the next twelve months.
The backlog turnover rate is impacted by various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in New Order activity, internal production capacity, external subcontractor capacity and other external factors over which we do not exercise control.
Reportable Segments
Homebuilding segment profit includes all revenues and income generated from the sale of homes, less the cost of homes sold, SG&A expenses, and a corporate capital allocation charge determined by corporate management. The corporate capital allocation charge eliminates in consolidation and is based on the segment’s average net assets employed. 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 our cost of capital.
We record charges on contract land deposits when we determine that it is probable that recovery of the deposit is impaired. For segment reporting purposes, impairments on contract land deposits are generally charged to the operating segment upon the termination of a Lot Purchase Agreement with the developer or the restructuring of a Lot Purchase Agreement resulting in the forfeiture of the deposit. We evaluate our entire net contract land deposit portfolio for impairment each quarter. For presentation purposes below, the contract land deposit reserve at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 has been allocated to the respective year’s reportable segments to show contract land deposits on a net basis. The net contract land deposit balances below also include approximately $2,800 and $2,000 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, of letters of credit issued as deposits in lieu of cash.
The following tables summarize certain homebuilding operating activity by reportable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Mid Atlantic
Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $11,600, or 12%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase of approximately $101,500, or 12%, in segment revenues quarter over quarter, attributable primarily to a 13% increase in the number of units settled quarter over quarter. The increase in the number of units settled was favorably impacted by a 20% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The Mid Atlantic segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 18.3% in the second quarter of 2018 from 19.1% in the second quarter of 2017, due primarily to higher lot and certain material costs.
Segment New Orders increased 7% while the average sales price of New Orders decreased 1% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. New Orders increased despite a 2% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter as more favorable market conditions in the second quarter of 2018 led to higher community absorption rates within the segment. The decrease in the average sales price of New Orders was primarily attributable to a shift in New Orders in the current year quarter to lower priced markets and lower priced products.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $38,200, or 23%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase of approximately $221,800, or 14%, in segment revenues year over year. Segment revenues increased due primarily to a 15% increase in the number of units settled year over year, attributable primarily to a 19% higher backlog unit balance entering 2018 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2017, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year. The Mid Atlantic segment’s gross profit margin percentage was 18.5% in both 2018 and 2017, as modest improvement in pricing was offset by higher lot and certain material costs.
Segment New Orders increased 12%, while the average sales price of New Orders decreased 3% in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in New Orders was due to continued favorable market conditions in 2018, which led to higher community absorption rates year over year. The decrease in the average sales price of New Orders was due primarily to a shift to lower priced products.
North East
Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The North East segment had an approximate $2,700, or 19%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 due to an increase in segment revenues of approximately $20,100, or 16%. The increase in segment revenues was due primarily to an 8% increase in both the number of units settled and the average price of units settled quarter over quarter. The increase in the number of units settled was favorably impacted by an 8% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in the average settlement price was attributable to a shift in settlements to higher priced markets in the segment. The North East segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 19.2% in the second quarter of 2018 from 19.7% in the second quarter of 2017, due primarily to higher lot and certain material costs.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 1% and 2%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. New Orders increased despite a 19% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter due to more favorable market conditions in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, which led to higher community absorption rates quarter over quarter. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders quarter over quarter was attributable to a shift in New Orders to higher priced markets within the segment.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The North East segment had an approximate $9,300, or 40%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 due to an increase in segment revenues of approximately $36,600, or 16%, and improved gross profit margins, year over year. The increase in segment revenues was due to a 10% increase in the number of units settled and a 5% increase in the average settlement price year over year. The increases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price were primarily attributable to a 12% higher backlog unit balance and a 4% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 2018 compared to the backlog entering 2017. The North East segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 20.2% in the first six months of 2018 from 19.3% in the first six months of 2017. Gross profit margin and segment profit were favorably impacted by improvement in pricing and the increase in the number of units settled, which allowed us to better leverage certain operating costs.
Segment New Orders increased 2%, while the average sales price of New Orders decreased 1%, in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. New Orders increased, despite a 16% decline in the average number of active communities year over year, due primarily to continued favorable market conditions in 2018, which led to higher community absorption rates year over year. The decrease in the average sales price of New Orders was attributable to a shift to lower priced communities within certain markets.
Mid East
Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The Mid East segment had an approximate $6,200, or 17%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $50,100, or 16% quarter over quarter. Segment revenues increased primarily due to a 15% increase in the number of units settled quarter over quarter, due to a 21% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 18.8% in the second quarter of 2018 from 19.1% in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher lot and certain material costs.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders were both relatively flat in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The Mid East segment had an approximate $11,200, or 19%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase of approximately $97,300, or 17%, in revenues year over year. The increase in revenues was attributable to an 18% increase in the number of units settled year over year, due to a 27% higher backlog unit balance entering 2018 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2017, partially offset by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 18.2% in the first six months of 2018 from 18.7% in the same period of 2017, primarily due to an increase in lot and certain material costs year over year.
Segment New Orders increased 7%, while the average sales price of New Orders was relatively flat in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. New Orders increased due to continued favorable market conditions in 2018, which led to higher community absorption rates within the segment.
South East
Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The South East segment had an approximate $6,300, or 27%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. The increase in segment profit was primarily driven by an increase of approximately $66,100, or 33%, in revenues quarter over quarter. The increase in revenues was due to a 39% increase in the number of units settled, partially offset by a 4% decrease in the average price of units settled quarter over quarter. The increase in the number of units settled was primarily attributable to a 35% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The decrease in the average settlement price quarter over quarter is primarily attributable to a shift in settlements to lower priced markets within the segment. The South East segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 19.7% in the second quarter of 2018 from 20.7% in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher lot costs, offset partially by modest improvement in pricing and the increase in the number of units settled, which allowed us to better leverage certain operating costs quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 15% and 3%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. New Orders were favorably impacted by a 4% increase in the average number of active communities in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 and more favorable market conditions in the second quarter of 2018, which led to higher community absorption rates. The average sales price of New Orders was favorably impacted by a shift in New Orders to higher priced communities in certain markets within the segment.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The South East segment had an approximate $15,000, or 40%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017. The increase in segment profit was primarily driven by an increase of approximately $124,700, or 33%, in revenues year over year. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a 35% increase in the number of units settled year over year. The increase in units settled was attributable to a 40% higher backlog unit balance entering 2018 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2017, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year. The South East segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 19.3% in the first six months of 2018 from 19.5% in the first six months of 2017 primarily due to higher lot costs, offset partially by modest improvement in pricing and the increase in the number of units settled, which allowed us to better leverage certain operating costs year over year.
Segment New Orders increased 19%, while the average sales price of New Orders was relatively flat in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. New Orders were favorably impacted by more favorable market conditions in 2018, which led to higher community absorption rates within the segment.
Homebuilding Segment Reconciliations to Consolidated Homebuilding Operations
In addition to the corporate capital allocation and contract land deposit impairments discussed above, the other reconciling items between homebuilding segment profit and homebuilding consolidated income before tax include unallocated corporate overhead (which includes all management incentive compensation), equity-based compensation expense, consolidation adjustments and external corporate interest expense. Our overhead functions, such as accounting, treasury and human resources, are centrally performed and the costs are not allocated to our operating segments. Consolidation adjustments consist of such items 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 our operating segments. External corporate interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on our 3.95% Senior Notes due 2022, and is not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

Mortgage Banking Segment
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
We conduct our mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses exclusively on serving the homebuilding segment customer base. NVRM sells all of the mortgage loans it closes to investors in the secondary markets on a servicing-released basis, typically within 30 days from the loan closing. The following table summarizes the results of our mortgage banking operations and certain statistical data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

Loan closing volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by approximately $172,500, or 17%, and $338,800, or 18%, from the same periods in 2017. The increase in loan closing volume during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the 18% and 19% increases in the homebuilding segment’s number of units settled during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2017.
Segment profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by approximately $1,700, or 9%, and $8,300, or 24%, respectively, from the same periods in 2017. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage banking fees, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses. Mortgage banking fees increased by approximately $5,100 and $14,900 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, resulting from the aforementioned increase in loan closing volume and an increase in secondary marketing gains on sales of loans. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $4,900 and $8,700 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, resulting from an increase in personnel costs.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 15.9% and 14.6%, respectively, compared to 29.2% and 26.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The reduction in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the following items:
| |
• | The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, which lowered our federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, and |
| |
• | The retroactive reinstatement of certain expired energy tax credits under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which resulted in us recognizing a tax benefit of approximately $6,200 in the first quarter of 2018 related to homes settled in 2017. |
Our effective tax rate was also favorably impacted by the recognition of income tax benefits related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, totaling $26,456 and $46,022, respectively, compared to $16,464 and $36,364 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
We expect to experience volatility in our effective tax rate in future quarters as the amount of the excess tax benefit from equity-based awards is dependent on our stock price when awards are exercised as well as on the timing of exercises, which historically has varied from quarter to quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Lines of Credit and Notes Payable
Our homebuilding business segment funds its operations from cash flows provided by operating activities, a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility and capital raised in the public debt and equity markets. The unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $200,000. Under the Credit Agreement, we may request increases of up to $300,000 to the facility in the form of revolving loan commitments or term loans to the extent that new or existing lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan or term loan commitments. The Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit of which there was approximately $8,500 outstanding at June 30, 2018, and a $25,000 sublimit for a swing line commitment. The Credit Agreement termination date is July 15, 2021. There was no debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2018.
Our mortgage banking subsidiary, NVRM, provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from its operations, borrowings from its parent company, NVR, as well as a $150,000 revolving mortgage repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Agreement”), which is non-recourse to NVR. In July 2018, NVRM entered into the Tenth Amendment (the "Amendment") to its Repurchase Agreement. The Amendment removed the $50,000 incremental commitment that was available under the prior Repurchase Agreement. All other terms and conditions under the Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. The Repurchase Agreement expires on July 24, 2019. At June 30, 2018, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement. There was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at June 30, 2018.
There have been no material changes in our lines of credit and notes payable during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For additional information regarding lines of credit and notes payable, see Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents decreased by $231,077. Cash provided by operating activities was $169,450. Cash was provided by earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and was used primarily to fund the increase in homebuilding inventory of $187,416, due to an increase in the number of units under construction at June 30, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $3,083 included cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $9,251, partially offset by the receipt of capital distributions from our unconsolidated JVs totaling $6,027.
Net cash used in financing activities was $397,444 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Cash was used to repurchase 158,380 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $483,538 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed below. Cash was provided from stock option exercise proceeds totaling $86,094.
Equity Repurchases
In addition to funding growth in our homebuilding and mortgage banking operations, we historically have used a substantial portion of our excess liquidity to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock in open market and privately negotiated transactions. This ongoing repurchase activity is conducted pursuant to publicly announced Board authorizations, and is typically executed in accordance with the safe-harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, the Board resolutions authorizing us to repurchase shares of our common stock specifically prohibit us from purchasing shares from our officers, directors, Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan Trust or Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust. The repurchase program assists us in accomplishing our primary objective of creating increases in shareholder value. See Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of repurchase activity during the second quarter of 2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 15 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to us.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risks during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For additional information regarding our market risks, see Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
We are involved in various 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 our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred in connection with outstanding litigation are expensed as incurred.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
We had two share repurchase authorizations outstanding during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. On December 12, 2017 and February 14, 2018, we publicly announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our outstanding common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions, up to an aggregate of $300,000 per authorization. The repurchase authorizations do not have expiration dates. We repurchased the following shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2018:
