NVR, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands, except share data) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("NVR" or the "Company"). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, comprehensive income equaled net income, therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying financial statements. 2. Shareholders' Equity A summary of changes in shareholders' equity is presented below: Common Paid-In Retained Treasury Stock Capital Earnings Stock ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Balance, December 31, 1998 $ 202 $ 174,173 $ 132,683 $ (141,339) Net income - - 54,270 - Tax benefit from stock-based compensation activity - 6,986 - - Option activity 1 1,329 - - Treasury stock purchases - - - (40,616) Performance share activity - 3,252 - 5,301 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Balance, June 30, 1999 $ 203 $ 185,740 $ 186,953 $ (176,654) ========== =========== ========== ========== Approximately 365,000 shares were reissued from the treasury during January 1999 in satisfaction of benefits earned and expensed in 1998 under an equity- based employee benefit plan. The average cost basis for the shares reissued from the treasury was $14.52 per share. In addition, 467,565 options were exercised during the first six months of 1999, with NVR realizing approximately $1,330 in aggregate equity proceeds for these option exercises. 3. Business Acquisition On March 4, 1999, NVR Mortgage Acquisition, Inc. ("NVRMA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. ("NVR Finance"), NVR's wholly owned mortgage banking subsidiary, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of First Republic Mortgage Corporation ("First Republic") for approximately $5,300 in cash. First Republic, based in Rockville, Maryland is a leading mortgage 7
NVR, Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands, except share data) lender in the Baltimore and Washington Metropolitan area. NVRMA accounted for this acquisition using the purchase method, and the operations of the acquired business have been included in NVR's consolidated financial statements for the first six months of 1999 beginning on the date of the acquisition. Goodwill of approximately $3,300 that was generated pursuant to the purchase transaction will be amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years. 4. Debt In January 1999, NVR Finance amended its mortgage warehouse facility to increase the available borrowing limit to $203,000, of which $178,000 is committed. In June 1999, the facility was extended to expire on September 30, 1999. The other terms and conditions are substantially the same as those in effect at December 31, 1998. The Company is currently finalizing the terms of a new annually renewable facility and expects that the new facility will be in place prior to the expiration of the existing facility. 5. Segment Disclosures NVR operates in two business segments: homebuilding and mortgage banking. Corporate general and administrative expenses are fully allocated to the homebuilding and mortgage banking segments in the information presented below.

Stock Option Plan During the second quarter of 1999, the Company's Shareholders approved the Board of Directors' adoption of the 1998 Management Long-Term Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") and the 1998 Directors' Long-Term Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan"). Under the Stock Option Plan, awards of non-qualified stock options ("Options") to purchase 1,000,000 Shares of the Company's common stock ("Shares") may be granted to executive officers and other key management personnel. Each Option will be granted for a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant. As of June 30, 1999, 931,000 Options have been granted under the Stock Option Plan. The exercise price was equal to the fair market value of the Company's Shares on the date of grant. The Options granted will vest as to thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3 %) of the underlying Shares on each of December 31, 2003, 2004, and 2005, with vesting based upon continued employment. Also as of June 30, 1999, 87,500 Options authorized under the Directors' Plan were granted to the Company's outside directors at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's Shares on the date of grant, leaving 62,500 options available for future grants. The Options were granted for a ten (10) year period beginning from the date of grant, and vest as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the underlying Shares on each of December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. 9
Item 2. - ------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Forward-Looking Statements Some of the statements in this Form 10-Q, as well as statements made by the Company in periodic press releases, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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. All statements other than of historical facts included herein, including those regarding market trends, the Company's financial position, business strategy, projected plans, objectives of management for future operations and certain statements regarding the Company's Year 2000 readiness, are forward-looking statements. Such forward- looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions (on both a regional and national level), interest rate changes, competition, the availability and cost of land and other raw materials used by the Company in its homebuilding operations, shortages of labor, weather related slow downs, building moratoria, governmental regulation, the ability of the Company to integrate any acquired business, technological problems encountered with Year 2000 issues, certain conditions in financial markets and other factors over which the Company has little or no control. Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 NVR, Inc. ("NVR" or the "Company") operates in two business segments: homebuilding and mortgage banking. Corporate general and administrative expenses are fully allocated to the homebuilding and mortgage banking segments in the information presented below. Homebuilding Segment Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 During the second quarter of 1999, homebuilding operations generated revenues of $492,058 compared to revenues of $385,738 in the second quarter of 1998. The change in revenues is primarily due to a 21.5% increase in the number of homes settled from 1,995 in 1998 to 2,424 in 1999 and to a 5.2% increase in the average settlement price from $192.2 in 1998 to $202.1 in 1999. The increase in settlements is a direct result of the substantially higher backlog at the beginning of the 1999 quarter as compared to the beginning of the same 1998 quarter. The increase in the average settlement price is attributable to single family detached units representing a larger percentage of the total units settled in the current period as compared to the prior year period, and to price increases in certain of the Company's markets. New orders of 2,855 during the second quarter of 1999 were 12.7% higher than the 2,533 new orders generated during the prior 1998 period. The increase in new orders was the result of increased sales in markets outside the Baltimore/Washington area. Gross profit margins in the second quarter of 1999 increased to 17.0% compared to 15.5% for the second quarter of 1998. The increase in gross profit margins was due to continuing favorable market conditions, which provided the Company the opportunity to increase selling prices in certain of its markets, and to the Company's continued focus on controlling construction costs. In addition, these 10
favorable market conditions have enabled the Company to increase the sales and settlement pace per community, which allows the Company to better leverage fixed costs. While the Company expects to continue the trend of higher year over year quarterly gross profit margins for the remainder of 1999, such gross profit margins may be lower than those realized in the first and second quarters of 1999 due to continuing increases in the cost of lumber and certain other commodities. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter of 1999 increased $4,885 from the second quarter of 1998, but as a percentage of revenues, decreased from 7.6% in 1998 to 6.9% in the second quarter of 1999. Approximately $2,400 of the increase in SG&A expenses is due to a net quarter to quarter increase for compensation cost attributable to management incentive plans. The increase in SG&A dollars is also attributable to the aforementioned increase in revenues. The percentage decrease is primarily attributable to the improved operating efficiencies resulting from continuing favorable market conditions as explained above and the overall larger revenue base. Backlog units and dollars were 5,447 and $1,190,412, respectively, at June 30, 1999 compared to 4,452 and $910,568, respectively, at June 30, 1998. The increase in backlog units and dollars is primarily due to the 12.5% increase in new orders for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same 1998 period, and, to a lesser extent, to a 7.4% increase in the average selling price to $213.2 in the first six months of 1999 from $198.6 in the first six months of 1998. The average selling price increase is due to the increased selling prices in certain of the Company's markets, and to single family detached units representing a larger percentage of the total units sold in the current period as compared to the prior year period. The Company believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") provides a meaningful comparison of operating performance of the homebuilding segment because it excludes the amortization of certain intangible assets and the recognition of certain significant non-cash expenses. Although the Company believes the calculation is helpful in understanding the performance of the homebuilding segment, EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flow as indicators of the Company's financial performance or its ability to generate liquidity. Calculation of EBITDA: Three Months Ended June 30, -------------------------- 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Operating income $ 48,341 $ 29,731 Depreciation 858 890 Amortization of excess reorganization value and goodwill 1,814 1,887 Other non-cash expenses 4,395 4,300 ---------- ---------- Homebuilding EBITDA $ 55,408 $ 36,808 ========== ========== % of Homebuilding revenues 11.3% 9.5% Homebuilding EBITDA in the second quarter of 1999 was $18,600 or 50.5% higher than in the second quarter of 1998, and as a percentage of revenue increased from 9.5% to 11.3%. Mortgage Banking Segment Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 The mortgage banking segment generated operating income, excluding the amortization of excess reorganization value and goodwill, of $4,913 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to operating income of $4,791 during the same period in 1998. Total loan closings were $869,774 and $658,789 during the respective quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, representing an overall increase of 32.0%. Approximately $155,000 of the increased loan closing production was the result of loans originated by First Republic Mortgage Corporation ("First Republic"), which was acquired by the Company in March 1999 (see below for additional information regarding the acquisition). Excluding the 11
origination activity of First Republic, loan origination activity increased 8.5% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Although mortgage banking fees had a net quarter to quarter increase of $1,781, or 16.7% from the overall increase in loan closing volume, the increase was impacted by unfavorable market pricing caused by increased competition, and to a lesser extent, lower margins in the Company's wholesale and retail operations due to a reduction in refinance activity. The increased revenues were also partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses primarily due to costs incurred to integrate and consolidate First Republic's operations into the Company. The increase to general and administrative expenses was also partially due to costs associated with the expansion of the Company's title services operations, and to costs incurred for the implementation of the Company's new loan origination system (see the Year 2000 disclosure below). A summary of mortgage banking fees is noted below: Mortgage Banking Fees: 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Net gain on sale of loans $ 8,854 $ 7,679 Servicing 346 471 Title services 2,670 2,290 Gain on sale of servicing rights 595 244 ---------- ---------- $ 12,465 $ 10,684 ========== ========== Subsequent to June 30, 1999, the Company has continued to experience a reduction in refinance activity, which particularly affects its wholesale and retail branch operations. In response to these market conditions, the Company has commenced a consolidation of its mortgage banking operations that do not directly support the Company's homebuilding activities. Homebuilding Segment Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 During the first six months of 1999, homebuilding operations generated revenues of $921,745 compared to revenues of $677,285 in the first six months of 1998. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 27.8% increase in the number of homes settled from 3,538 in 1998 to 4,522 in 1999, and to a 6.6% increase in the average settlement price from $190.5 in 1998 to $203.1 in 1999. The increase in settlements is a direct result of the substantially higher backlog at the beginning of the 1999 period as compared to the beginning of the same 1998 period. The increase in the average settlement price is attributable to single family detached units representing a larger percentage of the total units settled in the current period as compared to the prior year period, and to price increases in certain of the Company's markets. New orders increased by 12.5% to 5,396 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with 4,795 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in new orders was predominantly the result of increased sales in markets outside the Baltimore/Washington area. Gross profit margins for the first six months of 1999 increased to 17.0% compared to 15.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in gross profit margins was due to continuing favorable market conditions, which provided the Company the opportunity to increase selling prices in certain of its markets, and to the Company's continued focus on controlling construction costs. In addition, these favorable market conditions have enabled the Company to increase the sales and settlement pace per community, which allows the Company to better leverage fixed costs. While the Company expects to continue the trend of higher year over year quarterly gross profit margins for the remainder of 1999, such gross profit margins may be lower than those realized in the first and second quarters of 1999 due to continuing increases in the cost of lumber and certain other commodities. SG&A expenses for 1999 increased $13,143 as compared to the same 1998 period, but as a percentage of revenues decreased from 7.3% to 6.8%. Approximately $6,600 of the increase in SG&A 12
expenses is due to a net period to period increase for compensation costs attributable to management incentive plans. The increase in SG&A dollars is also attributable to the aforementioned increase in revenues. The percentage decrease is primarily attributable to the improved operating efficiencies resulting from continuing favorable market conditions as explained above and the overall larger revenue base. During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company incurred $8,335 and $4,300, respectively, for non-cash charges related to the 1994 Management Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), a variable stock plan adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") pursuant to the Company's 1993 Plan of Reorganization. The Company expects to recognize a total non-cash expense of approximately $17,100 relative to the Plan for full year 1999. The Company recognized $9,081 for non-cash Plan expenses for full year 1998. Calculation of Homebuilding EBITDA: Six Months Ended June 30, -------------------------- 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Operating income $ 91,937 $ 51,626 Depreciation 1,604 1,826 Amortization of excess reorganization value and goodwill 3,627 3,773 Other non-cash expenses 8,553 4,300 ---------- ---------- Homebuilding EBITDA $ 105,721 $ 61,525 ========== ========== % of Homebuilding revenues 11.5% 9.1% Homebuilding EBITDA for the first six months of 1999 was $44,196 or 71.8% higher than the first six months of 1998, and as a percentage of revenues increased from 9.1% to 11.5%. Mortgage Banking Segment Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 The mortgage banking segment generated operating income, excluding the amortization of excess reorganization value and goodwill, of $10,287 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to operating income of $7,481 during the same period in 1998. Total loan closings were $1,649,180 and $1,237,123 during the respective first halves 1999 and 1998, representing an overall increase of 33.3%. Approximately $234,000 of the increased loan closing production was the result of loans originated by First Republic Mortgage Corporation ("First Republic"), which was acquired by the Company in March 1999 (see below for additional information regarding the acquisition). Excluding the origination activity of First Republic, loan origination activity increased 14.4% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Although mortgage banking fees had a net period to period increase of $7,616, or 41.5%, from the overall increase in loan closing volume, the increase was impacted by unfavorable market pricing caused by increased competition and lower margins in the Company's wholesale and retail operations due to a reduction in refinance activity, both of which affected the Company's second quarter 1999 results. The increased revenues were partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses primarily due to costs incurred to integrate and consolidate First Republic's operations into the Company. To a lesser extent, the increase in general and administrative costs was also partially due to costs associated with the expansion of the Company's title services operations, and to costs incurred for the implementation of the Company's new loan origination system (see the Year 2000 disclosure below). A summary of mortgage banking fees is noted below: 13
Mortgage Banking Fees: 1999 1998 --------- --------- Net gain on sale of loans $ 18,898 $ 13,380 Servicing 580 663 Title services 5,036 4,084 Gain on sale of servicing rights 1,473 244 --------- --------- $ 25,987 $ 18,371 ========= ========= Effective Tax Rates The effective tax rates were 42.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 46.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The reduction in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a higher level of taxable income in the current period relative to fixed permanent differences. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and be measured at fair value. Depending on the hedge designation, changes in such fair value will be recognized in either other comprehensive income or current earnings on the income statement. During June, 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which amended SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133, as amended, is now effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. At the present time, the Company cannot determine the impact that SFAS No. 133, as amended, will have on its financial statements upon adoption on January 1, 2001, as such impact will be determined based on loans held in inventory and forward mortgage delivery contracts outstanding at the date of adoption. Business Acquisition On March 4, 1999, NVR Mortgage Acquisition, Inc. ("NVRMA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. ("NVR Finance"), NVR's wholly owned mortgage banking subsidiary, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of First Republic for approximately $5,300 in cash. First Republic, based in Rockville, Maryland, is a leading mortgage lender in the Baltimore and Washington Metropolitan area. NVRMA accounted for this acquisition using the purchase method, and the operations of the acquired business have been included in NVR's consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 1999 beginning on the date of the acquisition. Goodwill of approximately $3,300 that was generated pursuant to the purchase transaction will be amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years. Year 2000 Issue The Year 2000 Issue is the risk that computer programs using two-digit date fields will fail to properly recognize the year 2000, with the result being business interruptions due to computer system failures by the Company's software or hardware or that of government entities, service providers and vendors. With the assistance of a consulting firm, the Company has completed its assessment of exposure to Year 2000 Issues and has developed a detailed plan to remediate areas of exposure in both its homebuilding and mortgage banking segments, as discussed below. The Company has substantially completed its remediation and testing efforts on its core Homebuilding, Secondary Marketing, Servicing, Settlement Services and non-Information 14
Technology (e.g., phones, HVAC, etc.) systems and believes that these systems are now Year 2000 compliant. The total Year 2000 Issue cost for these systems was approximately $525, the majority of which was expensed during 1998. The mortgage banking segment also utilizes a Loan Origination System. During 1997 a decision was made to replace the existing Loan Origination system to obtain greater operating efficiencies. The existing system is not Year 2000 compliant. The Company has purchased a new commercially available software package for Loan Origination processing which has been certified to be Year 2000 compliant by the vendor. The Company has tested the system and believes that it is Year 2000 compliant. The Company has developed a detailed rollout plan and started implementation in February 1999 into its mortgage branches. Through the date of this report, the Company has successfully completed the installation of the new loan origination system in 66% of the Company's mortgage operations. The Company expects to deploy the new system in each branch by the end of the third quarter of 1999. The total cost of this project is estimated to be $3,700, of which the Company has expended $3,125 to date. The Company initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers and service providers during 1998 to determine the extent to which the Company may be vulnerable to their failure to correct their own Year 2000 Issues and is continuing those communications during 1999. To the extent that responses to Year 2000 readiness are unsatisfactory, the Company will attempt to identity alternative suppliers and service providers who have demonstrated Year 2000 readiness. As a normal course of business, the Company seeks to maintain multiple suppliers where possible. The Company cannot be assured that it will be successful in finding such alternative suppliers, service providers and contractors or, if it is successful in finding such alternative suppliers, service providers and contractors, that it will be able to do so at comparable prices. In the event that any of the Company's significant suppliers or service providers do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, and the Company is unable to replace them at comparable prices, the Company's business or operations could be adversely affected. To date, none of the Company's significant suppliers or service providers has asserted that they will not be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. The Company presently believes that upon remediation of its core business software and hardware applications, the Year 2000 Issue will not present a material adverse risk to the Company's future consolidated results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. However, if such remediation on all of the Company's core systems is not completed in a timely manner or the level of timely compliance by key suppliers or service providers is not sufficient, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the Company's operations including, but not limited to, delays in homebuilding and mortgage products resulting in loss of revenues, increased operating costs, loss of customers or suppliers, or other significant disruptions to the Company's business. In addition, widespread disruptions in the national or international economy, including, for example, disruptions affecting financial markets, commercial and investment banks, governmental agencies, utility services, such as heat, lights, power and telephones, and transportation systems could also have an adverse impact on the Company. The likelihood and effects of such disruptions are not determinable at this time. The Company will evaluate the necessity for contingency planning during 1999 as it implements and tests its Loan Origination System and if communications with significant suppliers and service providers indicate that the Company may be vulnerable to their failure to correct their own Year 2000 Issues. This evaluation will continue throughout 1999. 15
Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has $255,000 available for issuance under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 1998. The shelf registration statement was declared effective on February 27, 1998 and provides that securities may be offered from time to time in one or more series and in the form of senior or subordinated debt. NVR's homebuilding segment generally provides for its working capital cash requirements using cash generated from operations and a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). The Facility expires on May 31, 2001. The Facility provides for borrowings of up to $100,000 of which $60,000 is currently committed. Under the terms of the Facility, an additional $10,000 uncommitted overline is available to the Company on a limited basis. Up to approximately $24,000 of the Facility is currently available for issuance in the form of letters of credit, of which $12,293 was outstanding at June 30, 1999. There were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of June 30, 1999. NVR's mortgage banking segment provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from operations as well as various short-term credit facilities. NVR Finance and its subsidiaries have available mortgage warehouse facilities with an aggregate available borrowing limit of $203,000, of which $178,000 is committed, to fund its mortgage origination activities. There was $171,297 outstanding under these facilities at June 30, 1999. The current facility expires on September 30, 1999. The Company is currently finalizing the terms of a new facility and expects that the new facility will be in place prior to the expiration of the existing facility. NVR Finance also currently has available an aggregate of $150,000 of borrowing capacity in various uncommitted gestation and repurchase agreements. There was an aggregate of $24,552 outstanding under such gestation and repurchase agreements at June 30, 1999. The Company believes that internally generated cash and borrowings available under credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy near and long term cash requirements for working capital in both its homebuilding and mortgage banking operations. Other Elements Impacting Liquidity During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company repurchased approximately 866,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $40,616. The Company may, from time to time, repurchase additional shares of its common stock, pursuant to repurchase authorizations by the Board of Directors and subject to the restrictions contained within the Company's debt agreements. Part II ------- Item 1. Legal Proceeding - ------- During April 1999, NVR was served with a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in Baltimore by a group of homeowners who purchased homes in a community in Howard County, Maryland. The suit alleges violation of certain Federal environmental laws, as well as State consumer protection and nuisance statutes relating to the alleged failure of NVR to disclose to its purchasers that their homes were built on a site formerly used as an unlicensed landfill. The developer of the property and another homebuilder are also named as defendants in the action. The plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief and damages of approximately $75,000,000. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to the plaintiffs' claims and intends to vigorously defend the case. Accordingly, the income statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, included in the accompanying financial statements to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, do not include a loss contingency related to this lawsuit. No assurances can be given, however, regarding the risk or range of possible loss to the Company, if any. 16
