July 20, 2006, Reston, VA—NVR, Inc. (AMEX: NVR), one of the nation’s largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced that diluted earnings per share for its second quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased 31% and net income increased 14% when compared to the 2005 second quarter. Net income for the 2006 second quarter was $190,352,000, $28.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $167,649,000, $21.42 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005. Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2006 totaled $1,748,928,000, a 37% increase from $1,277,689,000 for the comparable 2005 quarter.

Homebuilding

New orders in the second quarter of 2006 decreased 13% to 4,204 units, when compared to 4,829 units in the second quarter of 2005. The cancellation rate in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was 13% compared to 8% in the second quarter of 2005 and 17% in the first quarter of 2006. New orders in the Washington and Baltimore markets declined 27% and 24%, respectively, in the second quarter when compared with the year earlier quarter. The cancellation rate in Washington was 21% in the quarter, an improvement from 26% in the first quarter of 2006, but higher than the 8% cancellation rate in the second quarter of 2005. The cancellation rate in Baltimore was 14% in the quarter compared to 17% in the first quarter of 2006 and 8% in the second quarter of 2005. The average sales price of total new orders in the second quarter of 2006 declined 6% from the second quarter of 2005. The decline is the result of a shift of new orders into lower priced markets in the North and South regions and a 13% decline in average order price in the Washington market as compared to 2005.

Settlements increased in the second quarter of 2006 to 4,297 units, 26% more than the same period of 2005. Homebuilding revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $1,722,797,000, 37% higher than the year earlier period. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $295,592,000, an increase of 12% when compared to the second quarter of the previous year. Gross profit margins decreased to 24.3% in the 2006 second quarter compared to 27.8% for the same period in 2005. Gross margins were negatively impacted by land deposit write-downs of approximately $26,000,000, primarily in the Washington market. These write-downs lowered gross margins by 151 basis points and reduced diluted earnings per share by $2.34 for the quarter. The Company’s backlog of homes sold but not settled at the end of the 2006 quarter decreased on a unit basis by 7% to 8,864 units and 6% on a dollar basis to $3,798,214,000 when compared to the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, consolidated revenues were $2,953,583,000, 32% higher than the $2,231,121,000 reported for the same period of 2005. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $322,912,000, an increase of 13% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $47.54, an increase of 33% from $35.68 per diluted share for the comparable period of 2005.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage closed loan production of $1,123,461,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was 31% higher than the same period last year. Operating income contributed by the mortgage banking operations during the second quarter of 2006 increased 29% to $17,486,000, when compared to $13,510,000 reported for the same period of 2005.

Outlook

The Company expects gross margins in the second half of 2006 to continue to be negatively impacted by pricing pressure in many of its markets. The Company updated its full year 2006 guidance on net income to approximately $690,000,000. Full year net income expectations include an after tax expense of approximately $36,000,000 for the implementation of SFAS 123R, Share Based Payment.
