1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. (“NVR”, the “Company”, "we", "us" or "our") 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.  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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
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 includes cash related to a consolidated joint venture which is included in homebuilding "Other assets" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash related to this consolidated joint venture as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $293 and $320, respectively, and as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $335 and $1,069, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Homebuilding revenue is recognized on the settlement date at the contract sales price, when control is transferred to our customers. Our contract liabilities, which consist of deposits received from customers (“Handmoney”) on homes not settled, were $142,937 and $138,246 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We expect that substantially all of the December 31, 2018 Handmoney balance will be recognized in revenue in 2019. Our prepaid sales compensation totaled approximately $18,100 and $17,000, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These amounts are included in homebuilding “Other assets” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the recognition of our leases on the balance sheet as right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. We elected to adopt Topic 842 using the effective date transition method, which permits us to apply the new standard prospectively and present comparative years under legacy GAAP.

(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

In adoption of the standard, we also elected the following:
to apply the package of practical expedients during transition, under which we were not required to reassess as of the date of adoption (i) whether any of our contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the classifications of our leases, and (iii) any initial direct costs related to those leases.
to exclude leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less from the recognition requirements under Topic 842.
to utilize the portfolio approach for certain office equipment leases, grouping leases by asset type which have similar lease terms and payment schedules.
Upon adoption, on January 1, 2019 we recorded a lease liability of $85,516 and a ROU asset of $79,345, which was recorded net of previously recognized straight-line operating lease adjustments on existing leases. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have an impact on our recognition of lease expense. See additional lease disclosures in Note 13.
2.    Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Fixed Price Finished Lot Purchase Agreements (“Lot Purchase Agreements”)
We generally do not engage in the land development business.  Instead, we typically acquire 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 we fail 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.
We believe this lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development.  We may, at our option, choose for any reason and at any time not to perform under these Lot Purchase Agreements by delivering notice of our intent not to acquire the finished lots under contract.  Our 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 we enter Lot Purchase Agreements have recourse to our general credit.  We generally do not have any specific performance obligations to purchase a certain number or any of the lots, nor do we guarantee completion of the development by the developer or guarantee any of the developers’ financial or other liabilities.
We are not involved in the design or creation of the development entities from which we purchase lots under Lot Purchase Agreements.  The developer’s equity holders have the power to direct 100% of the operating activities of the development entity.  We have 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, we do 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 us 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 we enter into Lot Purchase Agreements, including the joint venture limited liability corporations discussed below, are evaluated for possible consolidation by us.  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.
We believe 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

6

(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

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 we contract to buy finished lots typically select the respective projects, obtain the necessary zoning approvals, obtain the financing required with no support or guarantees from us, 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 us.  We possess no more than limited protective legal rights through the Lot Purchase Agreement in the specific finished lots that we are purchasing, and we possess no participative rights in the development entities.  Accordingly, we do not have the power to direct the activities of a developer that most significantly impact the developer’s economic performance.  For this reason, we have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of the development entities with which we enter into Lot Purchase Agreements, and therefore, we do not consolidate any of these VIEs.
As of September 30, 2019, we controlled approximately 98,150 lots under Lot Purchase Agreements with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $430,200 and $4,400, respectively.  As noted above, our 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, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 7,000 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 $2,300 and $100, respectively, as of September 30, 2019, of which approximately $1,400 is refundable if certain contractual conditions are not met.  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.
Our total risk of loss related to contract land deposits as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

As of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we were committed to purchase 10 finished lots under specific performance obligations.
3.    Joint Ventures
On a limited basis, we obtain finished lots using joint venture limited liability corporations (“JVs”). The JVs are typically structured such that we are a non-controlling member and are at risk only for the amount we have invested, or have committed to invest, in addition to any deposits placed under Lot Purchase Agreements with the joint venture. We are not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any debt of the JVs, as applicable. We enter into Lot Purchase Agreements to purchase lots from these JVs, and as a result have a variable interest in these JVs.
At September 30, 2019, we had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $24,600 in six JVs that are expected to produce approximately 6,400 finished lots, of which approximately 3,050 lots were controlled by us and

7

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

the remaining approximately 3,350 lots were either under contract with unrelated parties or not currently under contract. In addition, we had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $4,700 in the aggregate to three of the JVs at September 30, 2019. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of five of the JVs because we either share power with the other JV partner or the other JV partner has the controlling financial interest. The aggregate investment in unconsolidated JVs was approximately $24,600 and $29,400 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and is reported in the “Other assets” line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the remaining JV, we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary because we have the controlling financial interest in the JV. As of December 31, 2018, all activities under the consolidated JV had been completed. As of September 30, 2019, we had no investment remaining in the JV and the JV had remaining balances of $293 in cash and $263 in accrued expenses, which are included in homebuilding "Other assets" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities," respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We recognize 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.
We 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 us 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.
4.    Land Under Development
On a limited basis, we directly acquire 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.
In September 2019, we purchased a raw land parcel for approximately $44,700. The parcel is expected to produce approximately 400 lots.
As of September 30, 2019, we directly owned a total of five separate raw land parcels with a carrying value of $80,193 that are expected to produce approximately 800 finished lots. We also have additional funding commitments of approximately $6,800 under a joint development agreement related to one parcel, a portion of which we expect will be offset by development credits of approximately $2,900.
None of the raw parcels had any indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2019.
5.    Capitalized Interest
We capitalize interest costs to land under development during the active development of finished lots.  In addition, we capitalize interest costs on our JV 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 our 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.

8.    Product Warranties
We establish 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 our 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 our general counsel and outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases.
The following table reflects the changes in our Warranty Reserve during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

9.    Segment Disclosures
We disclose four homebuilding reportable segments that aggregate geographically our homebuilding operating segments, and our 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 our cost of capital.  
Assets not allocated to the operating segments are not included in either the operating segment’s corporate capital allocation charge or the CODM’s evaluation of the operating segment’s performance.  We record 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 overhead (including all management incentive compensation), equity-based compensation expense, consolidation adjustments and external corporate interest expense.  Overhead functions such as accounting, treasury and human resources are centrally performed and these costs are not allocated to our operating segments.  Consolidation

(unaudited)

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 our operating segments.  External corporate interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on our 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:

10.    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 values of our Senior Notes as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $625,500 and $594,000, respectively. 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $598,146 and $597,681, respectively.  Except as otherwise noted below, we believe that insignificant differences exist between the carrying value and the fair value of our 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, our wholly-owned mortgage subsidiary, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to our 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 September 30, 2019, there were contractual commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $827,120 and open forward delivery contracts aggregating $1,101,965, 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 $411,223 included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet has been increased by $7,051 from the aggregate principal balance of $404,172. As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of loans held for sale of $458,324 were increased by $10,880 from the aggregate principal balance of $447,444.

The total fair value measurement adjustment as of December 31, 2018 was $14,309. NVRM recorded a fair value adjustment to expense of $8,711 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and recorded a fair value adjustment to income of $2,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. NVRM recorded a fair value adjustment to expense of $1,986 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and recorded a fair value adjustment to income of $7,613 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
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.
11.    Debt
Senior Notes
As of September 30, 2019, we 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
We have an unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $200,000 (the “Facility”). 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

16

Table of Contents

(unaudited)

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 $9,400 was outstanding at September 30, 2019, 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 September 30, 2019.
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 2019, NVRM entered into the Eleventh Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Repurchase Agreement, which extended the term of the Repurchase Agreement through July 22, 2020. All other terms and conditions under the amended Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. At September 30, 2019, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement. There was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at September 30, 2019.
12.    Commitments and Contingencies
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.
13.    Leases
We have operating leases for our corporate and division offices, production facilities, model homes, and certain office and production equipment. Additionally, we have finance leases for production equipment which are recorded in homebuilding "Property, plant and equipment, net" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 10 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years, and some of which include options to terminate the lease.
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet as ROU assets with corresponding lease liabilities. See Note 1 for additional discussion regarding the adoption of Topic 842. The ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease. We recognize operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We have elected to use the portfolio approach for certain equipment leases which have similar lease terms and payment schedules. Additionally, for certain equipment we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Our sublease income is de minimis.
We have certain leases, primarily the leases of model homes, which have initial lease terms of twelve months or less ("Short-term leases"). We elected to exclude these leases from the recognition requirements under Topic 842, and these leases have not been included in our recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities.

14.    Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 16.2% and 14.8%, respectively, compared to 21.6% and 17.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. In both periods, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the recognition of income tax benefits related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises. Excess tax benefits were $27,604 and $86,809 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively and $12,585 and $58,607 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
15.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 us as of January 1, 2020. We do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our 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 us on January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
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.

20

Table of Contents

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 September 30, 2019, we controlled approximately 102,000 lots as described below.
Lot Purchase Agreements
We controlled approximately 98,150 lots under Lot Purchase Agreements with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $430,200 and $4,400, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 4,700 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment reserve of approximately $27,600 as of September 30, 2019.
Joint Venture Limited Liability Corporations (“JVs”)
We had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $24,600 in six JVs, expected to produce approximately 6,400 lots. Of the lots to be produced by the JVs, approximately 3,050 lots were controlled by us and approximately 3,350 were either under contract with unrelated parties or currently not under contract. We had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $4,700 in the aggregate to three of the JVs at September 30, 2019.
Land Under Development
We directly owned five separate raw land parcels, zoned for their intended use, with a cost basis, including development costs, of approximately $80,200 that we intend to develop into approximately 800 finished lots. We had additional funding commitments of approximately $6,800 under a joint development agreement related to one parcel, a portion of which we expect will be offset by development credits of approximately $2,900. One of our five land parcels under development was purchased during September 2019 for approximately $44,700. The parcel is expected to produce approximately 400 lots.
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, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 7,000 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 $2,300 and $100, respectively, as of September 30, 2019, of which approximately $1,400 is refundable if certain contractual conditions are not met.  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
During the third quarter of 2019, general market conditions continued to be favorably impacted by low unemployment and strong consumer confidence. Additionally, affordability issues, which had slowed demand for new homes during the second half of 2018, continued to be favorably impacted by a pull back in interest rates throughout 2019, which contributed to improved demand.
Our consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2019 totaled $1,911,264, a 3% increase from the third quarter of 2018.  Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $223,787, or $56.11 per diluted share, increases of 14% and 16% when compared to net income and diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2018, respectively.  Our homebuilding gross profit margin percentage increased to 19.0% in the third quarter of 2019 from 18.6% in the third quarter of 2018. New orders, net of cancellations (“New Orders”) increased by 11% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. The average sales price for New Orders in the third quarter of 2019 decreased by 1% to $369.2 compared to the third quarter of 2018.
We believe that the strength in demand for new homes is dependent upon sustained economic growth, driven by favorable unemployment levels and continued improvements in wage growth and household formation. Demand is also impacted by homebuyer affordability concerns, which are driven by both home prices and interest rate movements. We expect to continue to face gross margin pressure, 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 September 30, 2019 and 2018
Homebuilding revenues increased 4% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, as a result of an 8% increase in the number of units settled, offset by a 4% decrease in the average settlement price. The increase in the number of units settled was primarily attributable to a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The decrease in the average settlement price was attributable to a 3% lower average price of units in backlog entering the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, driven by a shift to smaller, lower priced products and to lower priced markets.

Gross profit margin percentage in the third quarter of 2019 increased to 19.0%, from 18.6% in the third quarter of 2018. Gross profit margin in the prior year quarter was negatively impacted by a $7,400, or 41 basis points, impairment charge recognized on one of our JVs.
The number of New Orders increased 11% while the average sales price of New Orders decreased 1% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.  The increase in New Orders was attributable primarily to an increase in New Orders in our Mid East and South East market segments, partially driven by an increase in the average number of active communities in each of these segments. Additionally, more favorable market conditions in the third quarter of 2019 led to higher community absorption rates in each of our market segments quarter over quarter. The decrease in the average sales price of New Orders was attributable to a shift to markets with lower average sales prices, as well as a continued shift in New Orders to smaller, lower priced products.    
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the third quarter of 2019 were essentially flat when compared to the same period in 2018, and as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 5.9% in the third quarter of 2019 from 6.0% in the third quarter of 2018.  
Consolidated Homebuilding - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Homebuilding revenues increased 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the same period in 2018, due to an 8% increase in the number of units settled, offset partially by a 3% decrease in the average settlement price year over year.  The increase in the number of units settled was primarily attributable to a higher backlog turnover rate year over year. The decrease in the average settlement price was attributable to a 2% lower average price of units in backlog entering 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 and a shift in settlements to smaller, lower priced products and to lower priced markets.
Gross profit margin percentage in the first nine months of both 2019 and 2018 was 18.8%. Increases in certain construction costs in 2019 were offset largely by lower lumber costs year over year.
The number of New Orders increased 5% while the average sales price of New Orders decreased by 3% in the first nine months of 2019 when compared to the first nine months of 2018.  New Orders increased primarily due to an increase in New Orders in our South East and Mid East market segments, driven in part by an increase in the average number of active communities in those segments. Additionally, favorable market conditions in 2019 led to a higher community absorption rate year over year.  The decrease in the average sales price of New Orders was attributable to a shift to markets with lower average sales prices, as well as a continued shift in New Orders to smaller, lower priced products.
SG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2019 increased by 5% when compared to the first nine months of 2018, but as a percentage of revenue were flat at 6.4% in both 2019 and 2018. SG&A expenses increased primarily due to an approximate $7,800 increase in equity-based compensation expense attributable to incurring a full nine months of expense for the equity awards granted in the second quarter of 2018, and an approximate $7,600 increase in personnel costs.
Backlog units and dollars were 9,172 units and $3,402,933, respectively, as of September 30, 2019 compared to 9,710 units and $3,662,037, respectively, as of September 30, 2018. The 6% decrease in backlog units was primarily attributable to the aforementioned 8% increase in units settled year over year, resulting in a higher backlog turnover rate year over year. Backlog dollars were 7% lower year over year due primarily to the lower backlog unit balance.
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 approximately 14% in the first nine months of both 2019 and 2018.  During the most recent four quarters, approximately 6% 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

23

Table of Contents

the remainder of 2019 or future years. Other than those units that are cancelled, we expect to settle substantially all of our September 30, 2019 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 is 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 $4,500 and $3,900 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Mid Atlantic
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $9,700, or 8%, increase in segment profit in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.  The increase in segment profit was driven by improved gross profit margins, and by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $21,000, or 2%, quarter over quarter. Segment revenues increased due to a 5% increase in the number of units settled, offset partially by a 3% decrease in the average settlement price quarter over quarter. The increase in the number of units settled was favorably impacted by a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The decrease in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a relative shift in settlements to lower priced products in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the

27

Table of Contents

same period in 2018. The Mid Atlantic segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 18.7% in the third quarter of 2019 from 18.4% in the third quarter of 2018, due in part to the prior year quarter being negatively impacted by the aforementioned JV impairment charge of approximately $7,400. Excluding the 2018 JV impairment charge, gross profit margin percentage was lower by approximately 40 basis points quarter over quarter due to higher construction costs, offset partially by lower lumber costs quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders decreased 2%, and the average sales price of New Orders was flat in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. New Orders decreased primarily due to a 14% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter, offset partially by higher community absorption rates quarter over quarter.  
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $29,600, or 9%, increase in segment profit in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018.  The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $68,200, or 2%, and by improved gross profit margins year over year. Segment revenues increased due to a 7% increase in the number of units settled, offset partially by a 4% decrease in the average settlement price year over year. The increase in units settled is attributable primarily to a higher backlog turnover rate year over year.  The average settlement price in the current year was negatively impacted by a relative shift in settlements to lower priced products and lower priced markets within the segment. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 18.8% for the first nine months of 2019 from 18.4% in the first nine months of 2018, primarily due to lower lumber costs, offset partially by increases in certain construction costs.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders decreased 3% and 2%, respectively in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. New Orders decreased primarily due to a 13% decrease in the average number of active communities year over year, offset partially by higher community absorption rates year over year.  The decrease in the average sales price of New Orders is attributable to a relative shift to lower priced products and a shift to markets with lower average sales prices within the segment.
North East
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
The North East segment had an approximate $5,400, or 29%, decrease in segment profit in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018 due primarily to a decrease in segment revenues of approximately $32,400, or 21%, quarter over quarter. The decrease in segment revenues was attributable to decreases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price of 14% and 8%, respectively, due primarily to an 18% lower backlog unit balance and an 8% lower average sales price of units in backlog entering the third quarter of 2019 compared to the backlog entering the third quarter of 2018. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 21.1% in the third quarter of 2019 from 19.7% in the third quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to lower lot costs as a percentage of revenue. 
Segment New Orders increased 3%, while the average sales price of New Orders decreased 2%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase in New Orders was attributable to favorable market conditions which led to higher community absorption rates quarter over quarter. The average sales price of New Orders was negatively impacted primarily by a relative shift in New Orders to lower priced products.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
The North East segment had an approximate $14,900, or 29%, decrease in segment profit in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018 due to a decrease in segment revenues of approximately $58,300, or 14%. The decrease in segment revenues was attributable to decreases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price of 9% and 6%, respectively, due primarily to a 17% lower backlog unit balance and a 5% lower average sales price of units in backlog entering 2019 compared to the backlog entering 2018. The North East segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 19.6% in the first nine months of 2019 from 20.0% in the first nine months of 2018, primarily due to higher construction costs, offset partially by lower lot costs as a percentage of revenue.

Table of Contents

Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders decreased 5% and 6%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. New Orders were negatively impacted by a 12% decrease in the average number of active communities year over year. The average sales price of New Orders was negatively impacted primarily by a relative shift in New Orders to lower priced products.
Mid East
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
The Mid East segment had an approximate $1,500, or 3%, decrease in segment profit in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. Segment profit was lower despite an increase in segment revenues of approximately $14,200, or 4%, quarter over quarter. Segment revenues increased primarily due to an 8% increase in the number of units settled, offset partially by a 4% decrease in the average settlement price quarter over quarter. The increase in the number of units settled was favorably impacted by a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The decrease in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 3% lower average sales price of units in backlog entering the third quarter of 2019 compared to the backlog entering the third quarter of 2018. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 19.5% in the third quarter of 2019 from 20.0% in the third quarter of 2018. The segment profit and gross profit margin percentage were negatively impacted primarily by higher construction costs, offset partially by lower lumber costs.
Segment New Orders increased 19%, while the average sales price of New Orders was flat in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.  New Orders increased due primarily to a 16% increase in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
The Mid East segment had an approximate $4,800, or 4%, increase in segment profit in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018.  The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $59,100, or 6%, year over year.  Segment revenues increased due to an 8% increase in the number of units settled, offset partially by a 2% decrease in the average settlement price year over year. The increase in the number of units settled was favorably impacted by a higher backlog turnover rate year over year. The decrease in the average settlement price is attributable to a relative shift in settlements to lower priced products and lower priced markets within the segment. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage was flat year over year at 18.9%.
Segment New Orders increased 7%, while the average sales price of New Orders decreased 2% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.  New Orders increased primarily due to a 9% increase in the average number of active communities in 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The average sales price of New Orders was negatively impacted by a relative shift to lower priced products and a shift to markets with lower average sales prices within the segment.
South East
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
The South East segment had an approximate $8,300, or 26%, increase in segment profit in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase in segment profit was primarily driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $61,200, or 22%, quarter over quarter, attributable primarily to a 22% increase in the number of units settled quarter over quarter. The number of units settled was favorably impacted by an 11% higher backlog unit balance entering the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 20.0% in the third quarter of 2019 from 20.3% in the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to increased lot costs, offset partially by lower lumber costs.
Segment New Orders increased 35%, while the average sales price on New Orders increased 4%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.  New Orders were favorably impacted by a 14% increase in the average number of active communities and by favorable market conditions which led to a higher segment

absorption rate in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. The average sales price of New Orders was favorably impacted by a relative shift to markets within the segment with higher average sales prices.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
The South East segment had an approximate $21,700, or 26%, increase in segment profit in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018.  The increase in segment profit was primarily driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $155,100, or 20%, year over year, due primarily to a 19% increase in the number of units settled year over year. The increase in units settled was attributable to a 7% higher backlog unit balance entering 2019 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2018, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate year over year. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage was flat year over year.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 24% and 2%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018.  New Orders were favorably impacted by an 8% increase in the average number of active communities and by favorable market conditions which led to a higher segment absorption rate year over year. The average sales price of New Orders was favorably impacted by a relative shift to markets within the segment with higher average sales prices.
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 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Loan closing volume for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $124,700, or 10%, and $273,000 or 8%, respectively, from the same periods in 2018. The increase in loan closing volume during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, was primarily attributable to the 8% increase in the homebuilding segment’s number of units settled during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018.
Segment profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by approximately $4,300, or 16%, from the same period in 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $5,100, or 12%, in mortgage banking fees, resulting from the timing of loan sales and a decrease in the fair value measurement adjustment. Segment profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $9,100, or 13%, from the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage banking fees and a decrease in general and administrative expenses.
Mortgage banking fees increased by approximately $5,300, or 4%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, resulting from the aforementioned increase in loan closing volume and an increase in secondary marketing gains. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $3,100, or 5%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs. Mortgage banking income before tax in the first nine months of 2019 was favorably impacted by a reversal of approximately $2,200 of equity-based compensation expense related to options forfeited during the first quarter.

Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 16.2% and 14.8%, respectively, compared to 21.6% and 17.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the recognition of income tax benefits related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled $27,604 and $86,809, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $12,585 and $58,607, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 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. Our 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 $9,400 outstanding at September 30, 2019, 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 September 30, 2019.
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 2019, NVRM entered into the Eleventh Amendment to the Repurchase Agreement, which extended the term of the Repurchase Agreement through July 22, 2020. All other terms and conditions under the amended Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. At September 30, 2019, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement.  There was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at September 30, 2019.
There have been no material changes in our lines of credit and notes payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  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, 2018.
Cash Flows
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents increased by $383,812.  Cash provided by operating activities was $509,436.  Cash was provided by earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and net proceeds of $136,121 from mortgage loan activity. Cash was primarily used to fund the increase in homebuilding inventory of $243,339, due to an increase in the number of units under construction at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $7,321 included cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $16,740, partially offset by the receipt of capital distributions from our unconsolidated JVs totaling $8,237.
Net cash used in financing activities was $118,303 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  Cash was used to repurchase 129,679 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $365,542 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed below. Cash was provided from stock option exercise proceeds totaling $247,355.

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 third quarter of 2019.
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, 2018.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risks during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. 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, 2018.
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
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
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.
