Exhibit 99.1
NVR, INC. ANNOUNCES A 25% INCREASE IN EARNINGS PER SHARE FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2004
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | CONTACT: Dan Malzahn | |
| OFFICE: 703-761-2137 |
April 16, 2004 – McLean, VA – NVR, Inc. (AMEX: NVR), one of the nation’s largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, today announced that diluted earnings per share for its first quarter ended March 31, 2004 exceeded the 2003 first quarter by 25% and net income increased 15%. Net income for the 2004 quarter was $100,617,000, $12.58 per diluted share, compared to net income of $87,806,000, $10.10 per diluted share, for the same period of 2003. Total revenues increased 18% to $878,561,000 for the quarter when compared to $743,574,000 for the same period of 2003.
Homebuilding revenues for the first three months of 2004 totaled $860,685,000, an increase of 19% over the same period of 2003. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $156,923,000, an increase of 20% when compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Gross profit margins for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were 25.3% compared to 25.4% for the 2003 first quarter. New orders for the first quarter of 2004 totaled 3,318 units, a 14% increase from the 2,907 units reported for the 2003 first quarter. Home settlements for the current quarter increased 8% to 2,709 units when compared to the same quarter of 2003. In addition, the Company’s backlog of homes sold but not settled at the end of the 2004 quarter increased on a unit basis by 11% to 7,499 units and 23% on a dollar basis to $2,605,120,000 when compared to the same period last year.
Closed loan production increased 2% to $523,339,000 during the March 2004 quarter when compared to the first quarter of 2003. Mortgage banking operating income totaled $10,772,000 for the first quarter of 2004, a decrease of 19% when compared to $13,368,000 reported for the same period of 2003. The reduction is primarily due to a shift in product mix from fixed rate mortgages to adjustable rate mortgages and brokered mortgages, both of which are generally less profitable than fixed rate mortgage products.
Due to the favorable backlog position at the beginning of the second quarter, the Company reiterated its full year 2004 guidance of approximately 15% growth in net income over 2003. The Company also stated that its stock repurchase program is continuing. During the first quarter of 2004, NVR repurchased approximately 257,000 shares of its common stock.
Some of the statements in this release made by the Company constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategies, each of which involves risks and uncertainties.

Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions (on both a national and regional level), interest rate changes, access to suitable financing, competition, the availability and cost of land and other raw materials used by NVR in its homebuilding operations, shortages of labor, weather related slow downs, building moratoria, governmental regulation, the ability of NVR to integrate any acquired business, fluctuation and volatility of stock and other financial markets and other factors over which NVR has little or no control. The Company has no obligation to update such forward-looking statements.
