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, 2020.2021. 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, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.2022.
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, 20212022 and 2020,2021, 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $255 and $268, respectively, and as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $271 and $269, respectively, and as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $271 and $281, 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 on homes not settled, were $381,594$376,160 and $240,758$417,463 as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. We expect that substantially all of the customer deposits held at December 31, 20202021 will be recognized in revenue in 2021.2022. Our contract assets consist of prepaid sales compensation and totaled approximately $24,300$20,100 and $22,500,$25,200, as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. Prepaid sales compensation is included in homebuilding “Other assets” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2. Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Fixed Price Finished Lot Purchase Agreements (“LPAs”)
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 LPAs. The LPAs require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the LPAs. The deposits required under the LPAs 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.
The deposit placed by us pursuant to the LPA 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 LPAs, including the joint venture limited liability corporations discussed below, are evaluated for possible consolidation by us. We have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of the development entities with which we enter into LPAs, and therefore, we do not consolidate any of these VIEs.
As of September 30, 2021,2022, we controlled approximately 116,550125,600 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $483,600$543,400 and $10,700,$7,300, respectively. Our sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these LPAs is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provisions contained in the LPAs.LPAs and, in very limited circumstances, specific performance obligations. For the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2022, we incurred pre-tax impairment charges on lot deposits of approximately $8,800 and $2,500, respectively, based on current market conditions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a net reversal of approximately $4,100 and $17,500, respectively, related to previously impaired lot deposits as market conditions have improved. For the three month period ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a net reversal of approximately $4,800 related to previously impaired lot deposits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred net pre-tax lot deposit charges of approximately $32,500. Our contract land deposit asset is shown net of a $34,704$32,240 and $52,205$30,041 impairment reserve at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.
In addition, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 12,50023,100 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 $4,400 and $100, respectively,$10,400 as of September 30, 2021,2022, of which approximately $3,300$4,600 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 an LPA with the assignee if the project is determined to be feasible.
Our total risk of loss related to contract land deposits is limited to the amount of the deposits pursuant to the liquidated damages provision of the LPAs. As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our total risk of loss was as follows: | | | September 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 | | September 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |

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 LPAs with the JV.joint venture. We are not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any debt of the JVs, as applicable. We enter into LPAs to purchase lots from these JVs, and as a result have a variable interest in these JVs.

(unaudited)
At September 30, 2021,2022, we had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $20,800$27,800 in 4five JVs that are expected to produce approximately 2,3005,400 finished lots, of which approximately 1,9505,000 lots were controlled by us and the remaining approximately 350400 lots were either under contract with unrelated parties or not currently under contract. We had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $2,900$13,500 to one of the JVs at September 30, 2021. 2022.
We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of 3in four of the JVs because we either share power withand the other JV partner either share power or the other JV partner has the controlling financial interest. The aggregate investment in unconsolidated JVs was approximately $20,800$27,800 and $23,600$20,300 at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and is reported in the homebuilding “Other assets” line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. None of the unconsolidated JVs had any indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2021.2022. 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, 2020, allAll activities under the consolidated JV hadhave been completed.completed and we have no remaining investment in the JV. As of September 30, 2021, we had no investment remaining in the JV and2022, the JV had remaining balances of $271$255 in cash and $250$229 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 itstheir 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.
During 2021, we had the following significant land under development transactions:
–Sold a land parcel to a developer for approximately $45,800, which approximated our carrying value of the property as of the sale date. In conjunction with the sale, we entered into an LPA with the developer for the option to purchase the finished lots expected to be developed from the parcel.
–Completed the development of 1 land parcel and transferred development costs totaling approximately $16,500 to inventory.
–Purchased a raw land parcel for approximately $7,200, which is expected to produce approximately 80 lots.
As of September 30, 2021,2022, we directly owned 2 separate raw land parcels with a carrying value of $8,151$15,230 that are expectedwe intend to producedevelop into approximately 100800 finished lots. We have additional funding commitments of approximately $2,700$2,200 under a joint development agreement related to one parcel, a portion of which we expect will be offset by development credits of approximately $800.$900. None of the raw parcels had any indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2021.2022.
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

7.Equity-Based Compensation
Our equity-based compensation plans provide for the granting of Options and RSUs to key management employees, including executive officers and members of our Board of Directors ("Directors"). The exercise price of Options granted is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the day prior to the date of grant. Options are granted for a 10-year term and typically vest in separate tranches over periods of 3 to 6 years. RSUs generally vest in separate tranches over periods of 2 to 6 years. Grants to key management employees are generally divided such that vesting for 50% of the grant is contingent solely on continued employment, while vesting for the remaining 50% of the grant is contingent upon both continued employment and the achievement of a performance metric based on our return on capital performance relative to a peer group during a 3-year period specified on the date of grant. Grants to directors generally vest solely based on continued service as a Director.
During the second quarter of 2022, we issued 165,456 Options and 16,864 RSUs in a block grant to key management employees and Directors. Block grants are generally made once every four years. Option and RSU grants for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 totaled 170,806 and 17,906, respectively, and were granted under the NVR, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") and the NVR, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") as follows:

To estimate the grant-date fair value of our Options, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “Pricing Model”). The Pricing Model estimates the per share fair value of an option on its date of grant based on the following factors: the Option’s exercise price, the price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, the estimated dividend yield, a risk-free interest rate, the estimated option term, and the expected volatility. For the risk-free interest rate, we use U.S. Treasury STRIPS which mature at approximately the same time as the Option’s expected holding term. For expected volatility, we have concluded that our historical volatility over the Option’s expected holding term provides the most reasonable basis for this estimate.
The fair value of the Options granted during the first nine months of 2022 was estimated on the grant date using the Pricing Model, based on the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
Estimated option life (years) | | 5.60 |
Risk free interest rate (range) | | 1.17%-3.40% |
Expected volatility (range) | | 24.93%-30.89% |
Expected dividend rate | | —% |
Weighted average grant-date fair value per share of options granted | | $ | 1,432.72 | |
The weighted average grant date fair value per share of $4,505.90 for the RSUs was the closing price of our common stock on the day immediately preceding the date of grant.
Compensation cost for Options and RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award (from the date of grant through the period of the last separately vesting portion of the grant). For the recognition of equity-based compensation, the Options and RSUs that are subject to a performance

condition are treated as a separate award from the “service-only” Options and RSUs, and compensation cost is recognized when it becomes probable that the stated performance target will be achieved. We currently believe that it is probable that the stated performance condition will be satisfied at the target level for all of our Options and RSUs granted. Compensation cost is recognized within the income statement in the same expense line as the cash compensation paid to the respective employees.
We recognize forfeitures of equity-based awards as a reduction to compensation costs in the period in which they occur. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $26,686 and $58,441 in equity-based compensation costs, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $15,009 and $42,859 in equity-based compensation costs, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost for all outstanding Options and RSUs equaled approximately $381,700. The unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized over each grant’s applicable vesting period with the latest vesting date being December 31, 2027. The weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation cost will be recorded is equal to approximately 2.6 years.

8.9. 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.

9.10. Segment Disclosures
We disclose 4Our homebuilding reportable segments that aggregateoperations are aggregated geographically ourinto four homebuilding operatingreportable segments and our mortgage banking operations are presented as 1one 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, Tennessee, Florida and TennesseeGeorgia |
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 an LPA with the developer, or the restructuring of an LPA 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. Our overhead functions such as accounting, treasury and human resources are centrally performed and these costs are not allocated to our operating segments. Consolidation adjustments consist of such items necessary to convert the reportable segments’ results, which are predominantly

External corporate interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on our 3.95% Senior Notes due 2022 and 3.00% Senior Notes due 2030 (collectively, the(the “Senior Notes”), which are not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

11. 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 following table presents the estimated fair values and carrying values of our Senior Notes as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. The estimated fair value is based on recent market prices of similar transactions, which is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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, 2021,2022, there were rate lock commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $961,557$2,213,239 and open forward delivery contracts aggregating $1,107,575,$2,446,322, which hedge both the rate lock 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. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of loans held for sale of $316,094 included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet was decreased by $14,407 from the aggregate principal balance of $330,501.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021
OverviewBusiness Environment and Current Outlook
ImpactDuring the third quarter of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemichas had2022, we experienced a significant impact on all facets of our business. Our primary focus as we face this challenge is to do everything we can to ensurecontinued decline in the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and trade partners. In each of our markets, we continue to operate in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as state and local guidelines, which have resulted in significant changes to the way we conduct business.
Although current demand for new homes is strong, there remains uncertainty regardingas home affordability continued to be negatively impacted by rising mortgage interest rates and higher home prices. In addition to affordability concerns, current market conditions including a high rate of inflation, anticipated further interest rate increases and the extent and timingpossibility of disruptiona recession have contributed to our business that may result from COVID-19 and related governmental actions. There is also uncertainty as to the effects of economic relief efforts on the U.S. economy, unemployment,lower consumer confidence levels. We also continue to face higher costs for certain materials and labor as strong demand in prior quarters has resulted in increased construction activity and demand for building materials and contractor labor. These factors have led to supply chain disruptions and longer construction cycle times. We expect to continue to face some disruption and continue to work closely with our suppliers and trade partners to manage these disruptions and reduce construction cycle times.
We expect that demand for new homes will continue to be negatively impacted by higher mortgage interest rates and lower consumer confidence driven by affordability issues, high inflation, anticipated further interest rate increases and the mortgage market, including lending standardspossibility of a recession. We also expect to continue to face cost pressures related to building materials, labor and secondary mortgage markets. Weland costs, as well as pricing pressures, which will impact profit margins based on our ability to manage these costs while balancing sales pace and declining home prices. Although we are unable to predict the extent to which this will impact our operational and financial performance, includingwe believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise from future economic and homebuilding market volatility due to the impactstrength of future developments such as the durationour balance sheet and spread of COVID-19, corresponding governmental actions, and the impact of such on our employees, customers and trade partners.
disciplined lot acquisition strategy.
Outlook
Demand for new homes remained strong in the third quarter of 2021, driven by historically low mortgage interest rates and limited housing supply. This has resulted in strong sales absorptions and rising home prices. Additionally, the strong demand has led to increased construction activity and demand for building materials, which, along with the impacts of COVID-19, has resulted in some supply chain disruptions. We expect these issues to continue over the next several quarters as suppliers continue to work through the disruptions to meet the increased demand.
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, Tennessee, Florida and TennesseeGeorgia |
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 building lots from various third party land developers pursuant to fixed price finished lot purchase agreements (“LPAs”). These LPAs 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 LPA. 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.
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 an LPA 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 LPAs with forfeitable deposits.
As of September 30, 2021,2022, we controlled approximately 118,600131,400 lots as described below.
Lot Purchase Agreements
We controlled approximately 116,550125,600 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $483,600$543,400 and $10,700,$7,300, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 5,7007,300 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment reserve of approximately $34,700$32,200 as of September 30, 2021.
Joint Venture Limited Liability Corporations (“JVs”)
We had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $20,800$27,800 in fourfive JVs, expected to produce approximately 2,3005,400 lots. Of the lots to be produced by the JVs, approximately 1,9505,000 lots were controlled by us and approximately 350400 were either under contract with unrelated parties or currently not under contract. We had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $2,900$13,500 to one of the JVs at September 30, 2021.2022.
Land Under Development
We directly owned two separate raw land parcels, zoned for their intended use, with a cost basis, including development costs,carrying value of approximately $8,200$15,200 that we intend to develop into approximately 100800 finished lots. We had additional funding commitments of approximately $2,700$2,200 under a joint development
agreement related to one parcel, a portion of which we expect will be offset by development credits of approximately $800.$900.
See Notes 2, 3 and 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding LPAs, 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 12,50023,100 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. TheseAs of September 30, 2022, these properties are controlled with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $4,400 and $100, respectively, as of September 30, 2021,$10,400, of which approximately $3,300$4,600 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 an LPA with the assignee if the project is determined to be feasible.
Key Financial Results

Consolidated Homebuilding - Nine Months Ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021
Homebuilding revenues increased 29%17% in the first nine months of 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020,2021, as a result of a 20%3% increase in the number of units settledsettlements and a 7%14% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in the number of units settledsettlements was attributable to a 40%10% higher backlog unit balance entering 20212022 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2020,same period in 2021, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year.
2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 4%15% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 20212022 compared to backlog entering 2020the same period of 2021, coupled with a 15%10% increase in the average sales price of New Orders induring the first six months of 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020.2021.
Gross profit margin percentage in the first nine months of 20212022 increased to 21.6%26.0%, from 18.8%21.6% in the first nine months of 2020.2021. Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by the increase in the aforementioned average settlement price attributable to improved pricing power in prior quarters, offset partially by higher material and improved leveraging of certain operatinglabor costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity year over year. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor year over year. Additionally, the increase in gross profit margin year over year was attributable to gross profit margin in 2020 being negatively impacted by contract land deposit impairment charges of approximately $32,500, or 65 basis points.
The number of New Orders decreased 3%12% while the average sales price of New Orders increased 15%8% in the first nine months of 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020. The number of2021. New Orders in the current year were lower due primarily tonegatively impacted by a 10%4% decrease in the average number of active communities year over year. In addition, New Orders in each of our reportable segments were negatively impacted by the significant increase in mortgage interest rates in 2022, which resulted in a decline in affordability, and in turn led to lower absorption rates and to an increase in the cancellation rate year over year. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders was primarily attributable to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drovesignificant price appreciation resulting from strong demand and provided us sustained pricing power sincethrough the second halffirst quarter of 2020.2022.
SG&A expense in the first nine months of 20212022 increased by approximately $28,400,$44,300 compared to the same period in 2021, but as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.1% in 2022 from 5.3% from 6.3% year over yearin 2021 due to improved leveraging of SG&A costs. The increase in SG&A expense was due primarily to an increase of approximately $16,500 in equity-based compensation due to a block grant of Options and RSUs in the second quarter of 2022 and an increase of approximately $12,400 in personnel costs attributable to increased headcount year over year was attributable primarily to increased incentive compensation attributable to stronger performance year over year, as well as increased personnel costs due to increased headcount.year.
Our backlog represents homes sold but not yet settled with our customers. As of September 30, 2021,2022, our backlog was flatdecreased on a unit basis at 12,145by 11% to 10,758 units and increased on a dollar basis by 15%5% to $5,372,859$5,086,766 when compared to 12,12412,145 units and $4,655,510,$5,372,859, respectively, as of September 30, 2020. Backlog2021. The decrease in backlog units were flat year over yearand dollars was primarily dueattributable to a 15% decrease in New Orders duringin the six-month period ended September 30, 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate period over period. Our backlog turnover rate was negatively impacted by a longer production cycle attributable to subcontractor capacity constraints as we work to expand production to meet our increased sales pace. Backlog dollars were higher due to an 18% increase in the average sales price of New Orders during the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.2021.
In addition to the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, ourOur backlog 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. Calculated as the total of all cancellations during the period as a percentage of gross sales during that same period, our cancellation rate was approximately 9%13% and 16%9% in the first nine months of 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. During the most recent four quarters, approximately 3% 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 the remainder of 20212022 or future years. Other than those units that are cancelled, and subject to potential construction delays resulting from continued supply chain and/or COVID-19 related restrictions,disruptions, we expect to settle substantially all of our September 30, 20212022 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, building material supply chain disruptions and other external factors over which we do not exercise control, such as the impact of governmental orders to limit construction activities as a result of COVID-19.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 an LPA with the developer, or the restructuring of an LPA 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, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 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 $10,700$7,300 and $8,100$10,100 at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, of letters of credit issued as deposits in lieu of cash.

Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by the increase in the average settlement price attributable to improved pricing power in prior quarters and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity year over year. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor year over year.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 4% and 17%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020. New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders were higher due to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us sustained pricing power since the second half of 2020.2022.
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 Senior Notes, and is not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above. | | | | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |

Loan closing volume for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 increased by approximately $233,800,$40,300, or 17%2%, and $935,300,$194,900, or 26%4%, respectively, from the same periods in 2020, respectively.2021. The increase in loan closing volume during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 was primarily attributable to the 10%12% and 20%14% increases, respectively, in the homebuilding segment’ssegment's average home settlement price in each period compared to the same periods in 2021. These increases were partially offset by a 5% decrease in number of units settled duringloans closed in both periods, which was primarily attributable to the decreases in the capture rate in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021.
Segment profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022 decreased by approximately $21,300, or 53%, and $42,300, or 30%, respectively, compared tofrom the same periods in 2020.
Segment profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by approximately $12,600, or 24% from the same period in 2020. This decrease was2021. These decreases were primarily attributable to a decreasedecreases of approximately $21,600, or 37%, and $40,300, or 21%, respectively, in mortgage banking fees, of approximately $10,200 primarily due to a decreasedecreases in secondary marketing gains on sales of loans quarter over quarter.
Segment profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by approximately $59,700, or 74%, from the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage banking fees of approximately $68,100, primarily due to increaseda more competitive mortgage volume in 2021, coupled with 2020 results being negatively impacted by disruptions in the mortgage markets related to the COVID-19 pandemic.environment.
Seasonality
We generally have higher New Order activity in the first half of the year and higher home settlements, revenue and net income in the second half of the year. However, our typical seasonal New Order and settlement trends have been affected since 2020 by the pandemic and supply chain disruptions.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 was 23.5%23.6% and 22.5%24.3%, respectively, compared to 20.2%23.5% and 13.9%22.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in the three and nine month periodsperiod of 20212022 compared to the same periodsperiod in 2020 is2021 was primarily attributable to the impact of thea lower income tax benefit recognized related tofor excess tax benefits from stock option exercises totaling $9,244$27,748 and $37,834 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively,2022 and $17,834 and $80,343 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, 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
Overview
We hadfund our operations primarily from our current cash holdings and cash flows generated by operating activities. In addition, we have available a very strong liquidity positionshort-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility and revolving mortgage repurchase facility, as further described below. As of September 30, 2021, with2022, we had approximately $2,700,000$1,800,000 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $284,400$286,600 in unused committed capacity under our revolving credit facility and $150,000 in unused committed capacity under our revolving mortgage repurchase facility.
Our homebuilding business segment funds itsMaterial Cash Requirements
We believe that our current cash holdings, cash generated from operations, fromand cash flows provided by operating activities, aavailable under our short-term unsecured working capitalcredit agreement and revolving creditmortgage repurchase facility, and capital raised inas well as the public debt and equity markets.markets, will be sufficient to satisfy both our short term and long term cash requirements for working capital to support our daily operations and meet commitments under our contractual obligations with third parties. 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 revolving mortgage repurchase facility.
Credit Agreement
Our unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $300,000. 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 $15,600 outstanding at September 30, 2021. The Credit Agreement termination date is February 12, 2026. There was no debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2021.
Repurchase Agreement
NVRM's revolving mortgage repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Agreement”) provides for aggregate borrowings up to $150,000 and is non-recourse to NVR. In July 2021, NVRM entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to the Repurchase Agreement, which extended the termmaterial contractual obligations primarily consist of the Repurchase Agreement through July 20,following:
(i) Payments due to service our debt and interest on that debt. In June 2022, we used cash holdings to redeem $600,000 in outstanding 3.95% Senior Notes that were set to mature in September 2022. All other termsThe Senior Notes were redeemed at par, plus accrued interest. Future interest payments on our remaining outstanding senior notes total approximately $212,550, with approximately $27,000 due within the next twelve months.
(ii) Payment obligations totaling approximately $337,000 under existing LPAs for deposits to be paid to land developers, assuming that contractual development milestones are met by the developers and conditionswe exercise our option to acquire finished lots under those LPAs. We expect to make the amended Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. At September 30, 2021, there were no borrowing base limitations reducingmajority of these payments within the amount availablenext three years.
(iii) Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement. There was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at September 30, 2021.

Cash Flows
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents decreased by $61,722. Cash provided by operating activities was $982,292. Cash was provided by earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net proceeds of $319,140 from mortgage loan activity and a $140,836 increase in customer deposits due to an increase in backlog value coupled with an increase in the average deposit collected per
home in backlog at September 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. Cash was primarily used to fund the increase in homebuilding inventory of $154,443 due to an increase in the number of units under construction at September 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $11,986, attributable primarily to cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $11,946.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1,032,028 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cash was used to repurchase 244,595 sharesadditional discussion of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1,152,855 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed below. Cash was provided from stock option exercise proceeds totaling $121,835.leases.
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 2022. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022, we repurchased 295,148 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1,384,193. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $623,850 available under Board approved repurchase authorizations.
Capital Resources
Senior Notes
During the second quarter of 2022, we redeemed the outstanding $600,000 principal amount of 3.95% Senior Notes due September 15, 2022, at par, plus accrued interest.
As of September 30, 2022, we had a total of $900,000 in outstanding Senior Notes which mature in May 2030. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any of our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, will rank senior in right of payment to any of our future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes and will be effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The indenture governing the Senior Notes does not contain any financial covenants; however, it does contain, among other items, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict our ability to create, incur, assume or guarantee secured debt, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and conditions related to mergers and/or the sale of assets. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Notes at September 30, 2022.
Credit Agreement
We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a group of lenders which may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $300,000 (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 lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan or term loan commitments.

Repurchase Agreement
In July 2022, NVRM entered into The Second Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as Agent and a Buyer (the "Amended MRA"), which replaced our prior repurchase agreement in its entirety. The Amended MRA provides for loan purchases up to $150,000, subject to certain sub-limits. Advances under the Amended MRA bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("SOFR") plus the SOFR Margin of 1.70%, per annum. All other terms and conditions of the Amended MRA are materially consistent with the prior repurchase agreement. The Amended MRA expires on July 19, 2023. At September 30, 2022, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Amended MRA. There was no debt outstanding under the Amended MRA at September 30, 2022.
