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 unaudited 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 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 - - 84,611 - Tax benefit from stock-based compensation activity - 7,347 - - Option activity 2 1,486 - - Treasury stock purchases - - - (87,542) Performance share activity - 7,857 - 5,322 ------ -------- -------- --------- Balance, September 30, 1999 $ 204 $190,863 $217,294 $(223,559) ====== ======== ======== ========= Approximately 366,000 shares were reissued from the treasury during 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, 486,881 options were exercised during the first nine months of 1999, with NVR realizing approximately $1,488 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 nine months of 1999 beginning on the date of the acquisition. Goodwill of approximately $3,300 that was generated pursuant to the purchase transaction is being amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years. 4. Debt In September 1999, NVR Finance amended its mortgage warehouse facility to increase the available borrowing limit to $225,000, of which $200,000 is committed. There is $168,219 outstanding under the facility at September 30, 1999. The new facility is annually renewable, and expires in September 2000. The other terms and conditions are substantially equivalent to those in effect at December 31, 1998. 5. Segment Disclosures NVR operates in two business segments: homebuilding and mortgage banking.

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").

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 and other public comments and communications, 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 NVR, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("NVR" or the "Company") operate 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 September 30, 1999 and 1998 During the third quarter of 1999, homebuilding operations generated revenues of $523,552 compared to revenues of $441,034 in the third quarter of 1998. The change in revenues is primarily due to a 16.0% increase in the number of homes settled to 2,516 in 1999 from 2,169 in 1998 and to a 2.4% increase in the average settlement price to $207.4 in 1999 from $202.5 in 1998. 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 1,866 during the third quarter of 1999 were 2.5% higher than the 1,821 new orders generated during the prior 1998 period. The increase in new orders was the result of increased sales in certain of the Company's core markets outside the Baltimore/Washington area. Gross profit margins in the third quarter of 1999 increased to 17.2% compared to 15.4% for the third quarter of 1998. The increase in gross profit margins was due to favorable market conditions that existed in the first half of 1999, which provided the Company the opportunity to increase selling prices in 11
certain of its markets during that time, and to the Company's continued emphasis on controlling construction costs. In addition, the Company increased the sales and settlement pace per community, which resulted in a better leverage of fixed costs. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the third quarter of 1999 increased $4,550 from the third quarter of 1998, but as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 6.8% in 1999 from 7.0% in the third quarter of 1998. Approximately $2,100 of the increase in SG&A expenses is due to a net quarter to quarter increase attributable to management incentive plans. The increase in SG&A dollars is also attributable to the aforementioned increase in revenues. Backlog units and dollars were 4,797 and $1,082,116, respectively, at September 30, 1999 compared to 4,104 and $843,463, respectively, at September 30, 1998. The increase in backlog units and dollars is due to the 8.4% increase in new orders for the six months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same 1998 period, and to a slower backlog turn. The dollar increase is also due to a 9.7% increase in the average selling price comparing the same six-month periods. The average selling price increase resulted from the aforementioned increase in 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 September 30, -------------------------------- 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Operating income $ 53,436 $ 36,031 Depreciation 875 874 Amortization of excess reorganization value and goodwill 1,813 1,886 Other non-cash expenses 4,560 2,613 ---------- ---------- Homebuilding EBITDA $ 60,684 $ 41,404 ========== ========== % of Homebuilding revenues 11.6% 9.4% Homebuilding EBITDA in the third quarter of 1999 was $19,280 or 46.6% higher than in the third quarter of 1998, and as a percentage of revenue increased to 11.6% from 9.4%. Mortgage Banking Segment Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 Excluding the results of First Republic Mortgage Corporation ("First Republic"), which was acquired by the Company in March 1999 (see below for additional information regarding the acquisition), the mortgage banking segment generated operating income of $3,539 on loan closings of $561,863 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to operating income of $5,264 on loan closings of $697,567 during the same period in 1998. Including First Republic, operating income and loan closings for the three months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $3,316 and $675,593, respectively. Despite the overall net quarter to quarter decrease in loan originations of approximately 3%, mortgage banking fees had a net quarter to quarter increase of $1,438, or 12% due primarily to a shift in production from wholesale originations to builder related and other retail loans. In addition, due to 12
increased price competition, the Company also realized lower margins on the sale of loans. The increased mortgage banking fees were more than offset by increased general and administrative costs due to the ongoing incremental overhead costs of First Republic. During the third quarter of 1999, the Company continued to experience a substantial reduction in refinance activity, which particularly affects its wholesale and retail branch operations. Based on the current interest rate environment, the Company expects to experience continued reductions in refinance activity. In response to these market conditions, the Company commenced a reduction in the operating capacity of its non-builder mortgage banking operations. Homebuilding Segment Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 During the first nine months of 1999, homebuilding operations generated revenues of $1,445,297 compared to revenues of $1,118,319 in the first nine months of 1998. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 23.3% increase in the number of homes settled to 7,038 in 1999 from 5,707 in 1998, and to a 4.9% increase in the average settlement price to $204.6 in 1999 from $195.1 in 1998. 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 9.8% to 7,262 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared with 6,616 for the nine months ended September 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 nine months of 1999 increased to 17.1% compared to 15.3% for the nine months ended September 1998. The increase in gross profit margins was due to favorable market conditions that existed in the first half of 1999, which provided the Company the opportunity to increase selling prices in certain of its markets during that time, and to the Company's continued emphasis on controlling construction costs. In addition, the Company increased the sales and settlement pace per community, which resulted in a better leverage of fixed costs. SG&A expenses for 1999 increased $17,693 as compared to the same 1998 period, but as a percentage of revenues decreased to 6.8% from 7.2%. Approximately $8,100 of the increase in SG&A expenses is due to a net period to period increase attributable to management incentive plans. The increase in SG&A dollars is also attributable to the aforementioned increase in revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company incurred $13,114 and $6,913, 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 $17,500 relative to the Plan for full year 1999. The Company recognized $9,081 for non-cash Plan expenses for full year 1998. 13
Calculation of Homebuilding EBITDA: Nine Months Ended September 30, ------------------------------- 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Operating income $ 145,373 $ 87,657 Depreciation 2,479 2,700 Amortization of excess reorganization value and goodwill 5,440 5,659 Other non-cash expenses 13,114 6,913 ---------- ---------- Homebuilding EBITDA $ 166,406 $ 102,929 ========== ========== % of Homebuilding revenues 11.5% 9.2% Homebuilding EBITDA for the first nine months of 1999 was $63,477 or 61.7% higher than the first nine months of 1998, and as a percentage of revenues increased to 11.5% from 9.2%. Mortgage Banking Segment Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 Excluding the results of First Republic, the mortgage banking segment generated operating income of $14,210 on loan closings of $1,977,428 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to operating income of $12,745 on loan closings of $1,934,690 during the same period in 1998. Including First Republic, operating income and loan closings during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $13,603 and $2,324,773, respectively. Mortgage banking fees had a net overall period to period increase of $9,054, or 30%, resulting from the overall 20% increase in loan closing volume. A 58% increase in builder-related and other retail loan originations more than offset the sharp reduction in wholesale refinance activity experienced by the Company during the third quarter of 1999. This shift in product mix had a favorable impact on mortgage banking fees. However, due to increased price competition, the Company realized lower margins on the sale of loans. The increased revenues were almost completely offset by higher general and administrative costs due primarily to the ongoing incremental overhead costs of First Republic, and to a lesser extent, increased costs incurred for the implementation of the Company's new loan origination system (see Year 2000 Issue below). 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. 14
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 nine months of 1999 beginning on the date of the acquisition. Goodwill of approximately $3,300 that was generated pursuant to the purchase transaction is being 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, vendors and other third parties. With the assistance of a consulting firm, the Company completed an assessment of its exposure to Year 2000 Issues and developed a detailed plan to remediate areas of exposure in both its homebuilding and mortgage banking segments, as discussed below. As of September 30, 1999, the Company has substantially completed its remediation and testing efforts on all of its core Homebuilding, Loan Origination, Secondary Marketing, Servicing, Settlement Services and non- Information Technology (e.g., phones, HVAC, etc.) systems and believes that these systems are now Year 2000 compliant. The remediation efforts included the installation of a vendor-certified, Year 2000 complaint, commercially available software package for Loan Origination processing into each of the Company's mortgage branches. This installation was completed during the third quarter of 1999. The total Year 2000 Issue cost for the Company's remediation and testing efforts was approximately $4,600. The Company initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers and service providers beginning in 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, based on its current state of Year 2000 readiness relative to its internal systems and on the communications received to date from the Company's significant suppliers and service providers, the Year 2000 Issue should not present a material adverse risk to the Company's future consolidated results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. However, if the Company's internal computer systems experience unanticipated 15
malfunctions, or if 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 continue to evaluate the necessity for contingency planning 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 for the remainder of 1999. 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, 2002. The Facility provides for borrowings of up to $100,000, of which $60,000 is currently committed. Up to approximately $24,000 of the Facility is currently available for issuance in the form of letters of credit, of which $13,454 was outstanding at September 30, 1999. There were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of September 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 an annually renewable mortgage warehouse facility with an aggregate available borrowing limit of $225,000, of which $200,000 is committed, to fund its mortgage origination activities. There was $168,219 outstanding under this facility at September 30, 1999. The current facility expires in September 2000. NVR Finance also currently has available an aggregate of $75,000 of borrowing capacity in an uncommitted gestation and repurchase agreement. There was an aggregate of $21,205 outstanding under the gestation and repurchase agreement at September 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 nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company repurchased approximately 1,724,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $87,542. 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. 16
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 nine month periods ended September 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. Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K - ------ a. 11. Computation of Earnings per Share. b. 27. Financial Data Schedule c. The Company did not file any reports on Form 8-K during the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
