1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. (“NVR” or the “Company”) 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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-month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

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. Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2014 presentation.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Variable Interest Entities

Fixed Price Purchase Agreements

NVR generally does not engage in the land development business. Instead, the Company typically acquires finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements. The purchase agreements require deposits that may be forfeited if NVR fails to perform under the agreement. The deposits required under the purchase agreements 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.

NVR believes this lot acquisition strategy reduces the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. NVR may, at its option, choose for any reason and at any time not to perform under these purchase agreements by delivering notice of its intent not to acquire the finished lots under contract. NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provisions contained within the purchase agreements. In other words, if NVR does not perform under a purchase agreement, NVR loses only its deposit. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements have recourse to the general credit of NVR. NVR generally does not have any specific performance obligations to purchase a certain number or any of the lots, nor does NVR guarantee completion of the development by the developer or guarantee any of the developers’ financial or other liabilities.

NVR is not involved in the design or creation of any of the development entities from which the Company purchases lots under fixed price purchase agreements. The developer’s equity holders have the power to direct 100% of the operating activities of the development entity. NVR has no voting rights in any of

(unaudited)

the development entities. The sole purpose of the development entity’s activities is to generate positive cash flow returns to its equity holders. Further, NVR does not share in any of the profit or loss generated by the project’s development. The profits and losses are passed directly to the developer’s equity holders.

The deposit placed by NVR pursuant to the fixed price purchase agreement is deemed to be a variable interest in the respective development entities. Those development entities are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Therefore, the development entities with which NVR enters fixed price purchase agreements, including the joint venture limited liability corporations, as discussed below, are evaluated for possible consolidation by NVR. An enterprise must consolidate a VIE when that enterprise has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. An enterprise is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it has i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE or the rights to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

NVR believes the activities that most significantly impact a development entity’s economic performance are the operating activities of the entity. Unless and until a development entity completes finished building lots through the development process, with respect to which the development entities’ equity investors bear the full risk, the entity does not earn any revenues. The operating development activities are managed solely by the development entity’s equity investors.

The development entities with which NVR contracts to buy finished lots typically select the respective projects, obtain the necessary zoning approvals, obtain the financing required with no support or guarantees from NVR, select who will purchase the finished lots and at what price, and manage the completion of the infrastructure improvements, all for the purpose of generating a cash flow return to the development entity’s equity holders and all independent of NVR. The Company possesses no more than limited protective legal rights through the purchase agreement in the specific finished lots that it is purchasing, and NVR possesses no participative rights in the development entities. Accordingly, NVR does not have the power to direct the activities of a developer that most significantly impact the developer’s economic performance. For this reason, NVR has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the development entities with which the Company enters fixed price purchase agreements, and therefore, NVR does not consolidate any of these VIEs.

As of March 31, 2014, NVR controlled approximately 59,400 lots with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling $303,933 and $2,429, respectively. As noted above, NVR’s sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provisions contained within the purchase agreements and in very limited circumstances, specific performance obligations. NVR’s total risk of loss related to contract land deposits as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was as follows:

	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Contract land deposits	$	303,933		$	296,646
Loss reserve on contract land deposits		(57,729	)		(59,761	)
Contract land deposits, net		246,204			236,885
Contingent obligations in the form of letters of credit		2,429			2,459
Contingent specific performance obligations (1)		1,505			1,707
Total risk of loss	$	250,138		$	241,051

(1) At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was committed to purchase 10 and 13 finished lots under specific performance obligations, respectively.

3. Joint Ventures

On a limited basis, NVR also obtains finished lots using joint venture limited liability corporations (“JVs”). All JVs are typically structured such that NVR is a non-controlling member and is at risk only for the amount the Company has invested, in addition to any deposits placed under fixed price purchase agreements with the JV. NVR is not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any debt of the JVs, as applicable. The Company enters into a standard fixed price purchase agreement to purchase lots from these JVs, and as a result has a variable interest in these JVs.

At March 31, 2014, the Company had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $86,300 in four JVs that are expected to produce approximately 9,200 finished lots, of which approximately 3,400 were not under contract with NVR. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of three of the JVs because NVR and the other JV partner either share power or the other JV partner has the controlling financial interest. The aggregate investment in these three JVs was approximately $83,600 and is reported in the “Other assets” line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the remaining JV, NVR has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary because the Company has the controlling financial interest in the JV. Accordingly, NVR consolidates this JV. The condensed balance sheets at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, of the consolidated JV were as follows:

	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Cash	$	784	$	668
Restricted cash		208		248
Other assets		490		542
Land under development		5,106		5,810
Total assets	$	6,588	$	7,268
Debt	$	2,153	$	3,365
Accrued expenses		760		862
Equity		3,675		3,041
Total liabilities and equity	$	6,588	$	7,268

4. Land Under Development

On a limited basis, NVR directly acquires raw parcels of land already zoned for its 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. As of March 31, 2014, NVR directly owned five separate raw parcels of land with a carrying value of $46,083 that it intends to develop into approximately 650 finished lots for use in its homebuilding operations. Of the total finished lots, 125 lots are under contract to be sold to an unrelated party under lot purchase agreements. None of the raw parcels had any indicators of impairment as of March 31, 2014. Based on current market conditions, NVR may on a limited basis continue to directly acquire additional raw parcels to develop into finished lots. See theOverviewsection of Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included herein, for additional discussion.

5. Capitalized Interest

The Company capitalizes interest costs to land under development during the active development of finished lots. In addition, the Company capitalizes interest costs to its joint venture investments while the investments are considered qualified assets pursuant to ASC 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 the Company’s settlement of homes and the respective lots. Interest incurred in excess of the interest capitalizable based on the level of qualified assets is expensed in the period incurred. NVR’s interest costs incurred, capitalized, expensed and charged to cost of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Interest capitalized, beginning of period	$	3,294		$	893
Interest incurred		6,223			6,250
Interest charged to interest expense		(5,794	)		(5,566	)
Interest charged to cost of sales		(105	)		—
Interest capitalized, end of period	$	3,618		$	1,577

6. Earnings per Share

The following weighted average shares and share equivalents were used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Weighted average number of shares outstanding used to calculate basic EPS		4,467,000		4,979,000
Dilutive Securities:
Stock options and restricted share units		153,000		143,000
Weighted average number of shares and share equivalents outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS		4,620,000		5,122,000

Stock options issued under equity benefit plans to purchase 92,574 and 123,938 shares of common stock were outstanding during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

7. Excess Reorganization Value, Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Reorganization value in excess of identifiable assets (“excess reorganization value”) is an indefinite-lived intangible asset that was created upon NVR’s emergence from bankruptcy on September 30, 1993. Based on the allocation of the reorganization value, the portion of the reorganization value which was not attributed to specific tangible or intangible assets has been reported as excess reorganization value, which is treated similarly to goodwill. Excess reorganization value is not subject to amortization. Rather, excess reorganization value is subject to an impairment assessment on an annual basis or more frequently if changes in events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Because excess reorganization value was based on the reorganization value of NVR’s entire enterprise upon emergence from bankruptcy, the impairment assessment is conducted on an enterprise basis based on the comparison of NVR’s total equity compared to the market value of NVR’s outstanding publicly-traded common stock.

As of March 31, 2014, goodwill and net finite-lived intangible assets totaled $441 and $5,960, respectively. The remaining finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average life of 5 years. Amortization expense related to the finite-lived intangible assets was $346 and $400 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company completed the annual impairment assessment of the excess reorganization value and goodwill during the first quarter of 2014 and determined that there was no impairment.

8. Income Taxes

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recognized income tax expense of approximately $6,900 due to the reversal of certain previously recognized tax deductions.

The Company repurchased 32,377 shares of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company settles option exercises and vesting of restricted share units by issuing shares of treasury stock. Approximately 92,000 shares were issued from the treasury account during the first quarter of 2014 in settlement of option exercises and vesting of restricted share units. Shares are relieved from the treasury account based on the weighted average cost basis of treasury shares acquired.

10. Product Warranties

The Company establishes 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 NVR’s homebuilding business. Liability estimates are determined based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as historical experience, the likely 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 the Company’s general counsel and outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases.

11. Segment Disclosures

The following disclosure includes four homebuilding reportable segments that aggregate geographically the Company’s homebuilding operating segments, and the mortgage banking operations presented as a single 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 and Florida

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, is based on the segment’s average net assets employed and is charged using a consistent methodology in the periods presented. 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 the Company’s cost of capital. In addition, certain assets, including goodwill and intangible assets and consolidation adjustments as discussed further below, are not allocated to the operating segments as those assets are neither included in the operating segment’s corporate capital allocation charge, nor in the CODM’s evaluation of the operating segment’s performance. The Company records 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 charged to the operating segment upon the determination to terminate a finished lot purchase agreement with the developer, or to restructure a lot purchase agreement 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. NVR’s overhead functions, such as accounting, treasury, human resources, etc., are centrally performed and the costs are not allocated to the Company’s operating segments. Consolidation adjustments consist of such items necessary 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 the Company’s operating segments. Likewise, equity-based compensation expense is not charged to the operating segments. External corporate interest expense is primarily comprised of interest charges on the Company’s 3.95% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”) and is not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

12. Fair Value

Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of NVR’s Senior Notes as of March 31, 2014 was $594,714. The estimated fair value is based on recent market prices of similar transactions, which is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the Senior Notes was $599,098 at March 31, 2014. Except as otherwise noted below, NVR believes that insignificant differences exist between the carrying value and the fair value of its financial instruments, which consists of cash equivalents, due to their short term nature.

Derivative Instruments and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

In the normal course of business, NVR’s mortgage banking segment enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within time frames established by NVR. 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, the Company enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The forward sale contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. NVR 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 March 31, 2014, there were contractual commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $218,827 and open forward delivery contracts aggregating $308,679.

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. The fair value of the Company’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 amount, if any, that the Company has discounted the price to the borrower from par for competitive reasons and 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, the Company 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. The Company 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, which averaged 105 basis points of the loan amount as of March 31, 2014, is included in the fair value measurement and is based upon contractual terms with investors and varies depending on the loan type. The Company assumes an approximate 11% fallout rate when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments. Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which the Company does not close a mortgage loan and is based on historical experience.

The fair value of the Company’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. The fair value of loans held for sale of $123,833 included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet has been decreased by $128 from the aggregate principal balance of $123,961.

The undesignated derivative instruments are included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, as of March 31, 2014, as follows:

	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
Derivative Assets:
Rate lock commitments	NVRM - Other assets	$	115
Forward sales contracts	NVRM - Other assets	$	953

The fair value measurement as of March 31, 2014 was as follows:

	Notional or Principal Amount		Assumed Gain/(Loss) From Loan Sale			Interest Rate Movement Effect			Servicing Rights Value		Security Price Change		Total Fair Value Measurement Gain/(Loss)
Rate lock commitments	$	218,827	$	(980	)	$	(902	)	$	1,997	$	—	$	115

For the three-months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”) recorded a fair value adjustment to income of $420 and $3,109, respectively. Unrealized gains/losses from the change in the fair value measurements are included in earnings as a component of mortgage banking fees in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value measurement will be impacted in the future by the change in the value of the servicing rights, interest rate movements, security price fluctuations, and the volume and product mix of the Company’s closed loans and locked loan commitments.

13. Debt

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had Senior Notes outstanding with a principal balance of $600,000. The Senior Notes were issued at a discount to yield 3.97% and have been reflected net of the unamortized discount in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2022 and bear interest at 3.95%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, which commenced on March 15, 2013.

NVRM provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from operations, borrowings from its parent company, NVR, as well as a revolving mortgage repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”), which is non-recourse to NVR. The Repurchase Agreement provides for loan purchases up to $25,000, subject to certain sub-limits. The Repurchase Agreement expires on July 30, 2014. At March 31, 2014, there was no outstanding debt under the Repurchase Agreement. Amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement are collateralized by the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale. As of March 31, 2014, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available for borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

In October 2004, Patrick Tracy, whom NVR had employed as a Sales and Marketing Representative (“SMR”), filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York alleging that NVR had misclassified him and other SMRs as outside sales personnel exempt from certain state and federal wage laws, including overtime pay requirements. Mr. Tracy’s attorneys subsequently filed several other lawsuits in various courts asserting substantially similar claims on behalf of various classes or groups of SMRs. None of those courts have held that the claims are appropriate for class, collective, or other group treatment, and the Western District of New York ruled in April 2013 that the claims pending in that court could not proceed on such a basis.

In October 2013, Mr. Tracy’s individual claims were tried by a jury, which returned a unanimous verdict in NVR’s favor and found that the Company had properly classified Mr. Tracy as an exempt outside sales person. The plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on February 27, 2014, but he has not yet identified any issues as to which he may seek appellate review. The remainder of the cases noted above are in various stages of pre-trial proceedings, many of them stayed or administratively closed pending a final disposition of theTracy action.

The Company believes that its compensation practices in regard to SMRs are entirely lawful and have vigorously defended all claims challenging those practices. In light of the points noted above, the Company has not recorded any associated liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in conjunction with any of those claims.

In June 2010, the Company received a Request for Information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act. The request sought information about storm water discharge practices in connection with homebuilding projects completed or underway by the Company in New York and New Jersey. The Company cooperated with this request, and provided

information to the EPA. The Company was subsequently informed by the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) that the EPA forwarded the information on the matter to the DOJ, and the DOJ requested that the Company meet with the government to discuss the status of the case. Meetings took place in January 2012 and August 2012 with representatives from both the EPA and DOJ. It is as yet unclear what next steps the DOJ will take in the matter. The Company intends to continue cooperating with any future EPA and/or DOJ inquiries. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this inquiry, nor can it reasonably estimate the potential costs that may be associated with its eventual resolution.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in various other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, and based on advice of legal counsel, this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Legal costs incurred in connection with outstanding litigation are expensed as incurred.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Overview

Business

Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings, 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, Florida and Tennessee

Our lot acquisition strategy is predicated upon avoiding the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and development. Historically, we generally have not engaged in land development to obtain finished lots for use in our homebuilding operations. Instead, we typically have acquired finished lots

18

at market prices from various third party land developers pursuant to fixed price purchase agreements. These purchase agreements 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 purchase agreement. 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.

Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build, and on our developers’ ability to timely deliver finished lots to meet the sales demands of our customers. However, during the past several years, the impact of economic conditions on the homebuilding industry negatively impacted our developers’ ability to obtain acquisition and development financing or to raise equity investments to finance land development activity. As a result, in certain specific strategic circumstances we deviated from our historical lot acquisition strategy and engaged in joint venture arrangements with land developers or directly acquired raw ground already zoned for its intended use for development. Once we acquire control of any raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter into a fixed price purchase agreement with the developer to purchase the finished lots, or whether we will 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 fixed price purchase agreements with forfeitable deposits.

As of March 31, 2014, we controlled approximately 59,400 lots under purchase agreements with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $303,900 and $2,400, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 8,300 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment reserve of approximately $57,700 as of March 31, 2014. In addition, we controlled approximately 5,800 lots through four joint venture limited liability corporations (“JVs”) with an aggregate investment of approximately $86,300. Further, as of March 31, 2014, we directly owned five separate raw parcels of land, zoned for their intended use, with a current cost basis, including development costs, of approximately $46,100 that once fully developed will result in approximately 650 lots. Of the total finished lots expected to be developed, 125 lots are under contract to be sold to an unrelated party under lot purchase agreements. See Notes 2, 3 and 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding fixed price purchase agreements, JVs and land under development, respectively.

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.

Current Business Environment and Key Financial Results

As disclosed at December 31, 2013, during the second half of 2013, housing demand was negatively impacted by a rapid increase in mortgage interest rates, higher home prices and buyer uncertainty attributable to a decline in affordability. This trend continued into the first quarter of 2014 as homebuyers continue to adjust to the current mortgage interest rate environment and reduced affordability levels. The housing market continues to face challenges from tight mortgage underwriting standards.

Our consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $811,310, a 5% increase from the first quarter of 2013. Our net income and diluted earnings per share in the current quarter were $23,849 and $5.16, respectively, decreases of 32% and 25%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2013. Net income and diluted earnings per share were negatively impacted by an approximate $10,200 decrease in pre-tax mortgage banking income, an approximate $12,200 increase in our homebuilding selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and an approximate $6,900 charge to income tax expense due to the reversal of certain

19

previously recognized tax deductions. We expect our full year effective tax rate for 2014 to be consistent with our recent historical range. Our gross profit margin within our homebuilding business increased to 18.0% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 16.9% in the first quarter of 2013. Our new orders, net of cancellations (“New Orders”) decreased 5% compared to the first quarter of 2013, while the average sales price for New Orders increased 7% quarter over quarter.

While our gross profit margin improved from year ago levels, we continue to face gross margin pressure due to increasing land and construction costs. In addition, the mortgage banking industry has become more competitive as interest rates have increased, resulting in reduced loan profitability. We believe that a continuation of the housing market recovery which began in 2012 is dependent upon a sustained overall economic recovery, driven by continued improvement in unemployment and consumer confidence levels. Due to the strength of our balance sheet, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise from future economic and homebuilding market volatility.

Homebuilding Operations

The following table summarizes the results of operations and other data for the consolidated homebuilding operations:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Consolidated Homebuilding - Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Homebuilding revenues increased 6% for the first quarter of 2014 from the same period in 2013 primarily as a result of a 9% increase in the average settlement price quarter over quarter, partially offset by a 3% decrease in the number of homes settled in the current year’s first quarter. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to the average price of homes in backlog being approximately 8% higher entering the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The higher average price of homes in backlog entering 2014 was attributable to the improved market conditions experienced in 2013. The number of homes settled decreased primarily due to a slight decrease in the backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter.

Gross profit margins in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased 114 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2013 due primarily to our average settlement prices increasing at a higher rate than material and lot costs have increased quarter over quarter.

20

The number of New Orders decreased 5% in first quarter of 2014 when compared to the first quarter of 2013, while the average sales price of New Orders increased 7% quarter over quarter. New Orders were lower despite a 10% increase in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter due to lower absorption levels in each of our market segments. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders is attributable to the favorable market conditions in 2013 which led to increasing prices entering 2014. In addition, average sales prices were favorably impacted by a relative shift in New Orders to our Mid-Atlantic and North East market segments from our South East market segment.

SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2014 increased approximately $12,200, or 16%, compared to the first quarter of 2013 and increased as a percentage of revenue to 11.3% from 10.4% quarter over quarter. SG&A dollars increased primarily due to an approximate $6,900 increase in personnel costs and an approximate $3,800 increase in sales and marketing costs quarter over quarter due to the 10% increase in the average number of active communities in the current year quarter.

Backlog units and dollars were 6,059 units and $2,270,474, respectively, as of March 31, 2014 compared to 6,217 units and $2,179,566, respectively, as of March 31, 2013. The decrease in backlog units was primarily attributable to the aforementioned decrease in New Orders in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. Backlog dollars were favorably impacted by a 9% higher average price of New Orders for the six-month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the six-month period ended March 31, 2013.

Backlog, which represents homes sold but not yet settled with the customer, 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. Expressed as the total of all cancellations during the period as a percentage of gross sales during the period, our cancellation rate was approximately 12% and 13% in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the most recent four quarters, approximately 5% 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 2014 or future years.

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 and other external factors over which we do not exercise control.

Reportable Segments

Homebuilding profit before tax 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 at the corporate headquarters. The corporate capital allocation charge eliminates in consolidation, is based on the segment’s average net assets employed, and is charged using a consistent methodology in the periods presented. The corporate capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the Chief Operating Decision Maker to determine whether the operating segment’s results are 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 determination to terminate a finished lot purchase agreement with the developer or to restructure a lot purchase agreement resulting in the forfeiture of the deposit. We evaluate our entire net contract land deposit portfolio for impairment each quarter. For additional information regarding our contract land deposit impairment analysis, see theCritical Accounting Policies section within this Management Discussion and Analysis. For presentation purposes below, the contract land deposit reserve at March 31, 2014 and 2013 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 $2,400 and $2,900 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of letters of credit issued as deposits in lieu of cash. The following tables summarize certain homebuilding operating activity by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Mid Atlantic

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $4,500, or 12%, increase in segment profit in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase of approximately $33,200, or 8%, in revenues quarter over quarter due primarily to a 9% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in the average settlement price was favorably impacted by a 7% higher average price of homes in backlog entering 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The Mid Atlantic segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 19.2% in 2014 from 17.9% in 2013, due primarily to our average settlement prices increasing at a higher rate than lot and certain material costs have increased quarter over quarter.

Segment New Orders decreased 2%, while the average selling price increased 7% in the first quarter of 2014 from the same period in 2013. New Orders were lower despite an 18% increase in the average number of active communities in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to lower absorption levels attributable to lower traffic levels quarter over quarter. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders is attributable to the favorable market conditions in 2013, which led to higher average sales prices entering 2014.

North East

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

The North East segment had an approximate $2,600, or 71%, increase in segment profit in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase in segment profit was primarily driven by an increase of approximately $16,200, or 26%, in revenues quarter over quarter due to a 22% increase in the number of units settled and a 3% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in units settled was attributable to the 14% higher backlog unit balance entering the first quarter of 2014 compared to the backlog unit balance entering the first quarter of 2013, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The average settlement price was favorably impacted by the 5% higher average price of homes in backlog entering 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The North East segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 18.2% in 2014 from 16.6% in 2013. Segment profit and gross profit margin were favorably impacted by the increased settlement volume, allowing us to better leverage certain operating costs in the first quarter of 2014.

Segment New Orders increased 2% and the average sales price of New Orders increased 7% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The average sales price of New Orders was favorably impacted in part by a shift to higher priced communities in certain markets. The number of New Orders was favorably impacted by an 18% increase in the average number of active communities, offset partially by a decrease in community absorption rates attributable to reduced traffic levels quarter over quarter.

Mid East

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

The Mid East segment had a loss of approximately $250 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to a profit of approximately $1,800 in the first quarter of 2013. The reduction in profitability was driven by a decrease of approximately $20,100, or 12%, in revenues quarter over quarter, while SG&A costs increased 11% quarter over quarter. The decrease in revenues quarter over quarter is due primarily to a 19% decrease in the number of units settled, offset partially by a 9% increase in the average settlement price. The decrease in settlements was primarily attributable to a 10% lower backlog unit balance entering the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Settlements in the current year first quarter were also negatively

impacted by a lower backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter attributable in part to the severe weather experienced in many of our markets in the Mid East segment. The average settlement price was favorably impacted by an 8% higher average price of homes in backlog entering 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The segment’s average gross profit margin percentage increased to 13.8% in the first quarter of 2014 from 12.3% in the same period of 2013, due primarily to our average settlement prices increasing at a higher rate than lot and certain material costs have increased quarter over quarter.

Segment New Orders decreased 6%, while the average selling price increased 4% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. New orders were negatively impacted by a 3% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter, coupled with lower absorption rates attributable to lower traffic levels in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in the average price of New Orders was attributable to a shift in mix to higher priced communities in certain markets.

South East

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

The South East segment had an approximate $4,400, or 121%, increase in segment profit in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase in segment profit was primarily driven by an increase of approximately $19,100, or 22%, in revenues quarter over quarter due to a 7% increase in the number of units settled and a 14% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in settlements was driven primarily by an increase in settlements in our Florida market and a higher backlog turnover rate in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The average settlement price was favorably impacted by a 9% higher average price of homes in backlog entering 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The South East segment’s gross profit margins increased to 18.1% in the first quarter of 2014 from 15.2% in the first quarter of 2013, due primarily to our average settlement prices increasing at a higher rate than lot and certain material costs have increased quarter over quarter.

Segment New Orders decreased 16%, while the average selling price increased 7% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. New Orders were lower despite a 9% increase in the average number of active communities in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to lower absorption levels attributable to lower traffic levels quarter over quarter. The increase in the average selling price for New Orders was attributable to a shift in mix to higher priced markets and to higher priced communities in certain markets.

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 profit 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, human resources, etc., 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. Likewise, equity-based compensation expense is not charged to the operating segments. External corporate interest expense is primarily comprised of interest charges on our 3.95% Senior Notes due 2022, and is not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

Mortgage Banking Segment

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

We conduct our mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses almost exclusively on serving homebuilding’s customer base. Following is a table of financial and statistical data for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Title services		4,029			3,743
Servicing fees		99			72
	$	12,123		$	19,388

While homebuilding’s revenue increased, loan closing volume for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $800 from the same period for 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 6 percentage point decrease in the number of loans closed by NVRM for our homebuyers who obtain a mortgage to purchase the home (the “Capture Rate”) compared to the same period in 2013. The Capture Rate decreased from 84% in 2013 to 78% in 2014 primarily due to a more competitive market for mortgage loans as other lenders’ refinancing activity has slowed.

Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $10,000 from the same period for 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to an approximate $7,300 decrease in mortgage banking fees, which was primarily the result of a decrease in secondary marketing fees and the fair value adjustment to income being approximately $2,700 lower in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in secondary marketing fees is primarily attributable to a more competitive mortgage market for mortgage loans as other lenders’ refinancing activity has slowed, resulting in reduced loan profitability. Segment profit was also negatively impacted by an approximate $2,900 increase in general and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increased staffing in response to increased mortgage regulations and expected higher loan volume.

Mortgage Banking – Other

We sell all of the loans we originate into the secondary mortgage market. Insofar as we underwrite our originated loans to the standards and specifications of the ultimate investor, we have no further financial obligations from the issuance of loans, except in certain limited instances where early payment default occurs. Those underwriting standards are typically equal to or more stringent than the underwriting standards required by Fannie Mae (“FNMA”), the Department of Veterans Affairs (���VA”) and the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”). Because we sell all of our loans and do not service them, there is often a substantial delay between the time that a loan goes into default and the time that the investor requests us to reimburse them for losses incurred because of the default. We believe that all of the loans that we originate are underwritten to the standards and specifications of the ultimate investor to whom we sell our originated loans. We employ a quality control department to ensure that our underwriting controls are effective, and further assess the underwriting function as part of our assessment of internal controls over financial reporting.

28

NVRM has always maintained an allowance for losses on mortgage loans originated that reflects our judgment of the present loss exposure from the loans that we have originated and sold. The allowance is calculated based on an analysis of historical experience and exposure. At March 31, 2014 we had an allowance for loan losses of approximately $8,500. Although we consider the allowance for loan losses reflected on the March 31, 2014 balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate to cover losses on loans previously originated.

NVRM is dependent on our homebuilding operations’ customers for business. If new orders and selling prices of the homebuilding segment decline, NVRM’s operations will also be adversely affected. In addition, the mortgage segment’s operating results may be adversely affected in future periods due to the continued tightening and volatility of the credit markets, changes in investor funding times, increased regulation of mortgage lending practices and increased competition in the mortgage market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Lines of Credit and Notes Payable

Our homebuilding business segment funds its operations from cash flows provided by operating activities and the public debt and equity markets. On September 5, 2012, we filed a Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for future offer and sale an unlimited amount of debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares representing preferred shares and warrants. On September 10, 2012, we issued $600,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.95% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”) under the Shelf. The Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2022 and bear interest at 3.95%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, which commenced on March 15, 2013. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any of NVR’s existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, will rank senior in right of payment to any of NVR’s future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes and will be effectively subordinated to any of NVR’s 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.

Our mortgage banking subsidiary, NVRM, provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from operations, borrowings from its parent company, NVR, as well as a revolving mortgage repurchase facility, which is non-recourse to NVR. Our revolving mortgage repurchase agreement with U.S. Bank National Association provides for loan purchases up to $25,000, subject to certain sub-limits (the “Repurchase Agreement”). The purpose of the Repurchase Agreement is to finance the origination of mortgage loans by NVRM. The Repurchase Agreement expires on July 30, 2014. Advances under the Repurchase Agreement carry a Pricing Rate based on the Libor Rate plus the Libor Margin, or the Default Pricing Rate, as determined under the Repurchase Agreement, provided that the Pricing Rate shall not be less than 3.00%. There are several restrictions on purchased loans, including that they cannot be sold to others, they cannot be pledged to anyone other than the agent, and they cannot support any other borrowing or repurchase agreement. The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include among others, certain limitations on transactions involving acquisitions, mergers, the incurrence of debt, sale of assets and creation of liens upon any of its Mortgage Notes. Additional covenants include (i) a tangible net worth requirement, (ii) a minimum liquidity requirement, (iii) a minimum net income requirement, and (iv) a maximum leverage ratio requirement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Repurchase Agreement at March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014 there was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement and there were no borrowing base limitations.

29

Cash Flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents increased $13,070. Cash used in our operating activities was $15,786. Cash was used to fund the increase in homebuilding inventory of $102,729, as a result of an increase in units under construction at March 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013. Cash was provided by net proceeds of $97,357 from mortgage loan activity.

Net cash provided by investing activities included the receipt of capital distributions from our unconsolidated JVs totaling $5,296. Cash was used for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $5,433.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $28,851 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Stock option exercise activity provided $57,060 in exercise proceeds, and we realized $5,696 in excess income tax benefits from equity-based compensation plan activity. Cash was used to repurchase 32,377 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $32,578 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed below.

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, creating increases in shareholder value. See Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for further discussion of repurchase activity during the first quarter of 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate the estimates we use to prepare the consolidated financial statements and update those estimates as necessary. In general, our estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates made by management.

Homebuilding Inventory

The carrying value of inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. The cost of lots and completed and uncompleted housing units represent the accumulated actual cost of the units. Field construction supervisors’ salaries and related direct overhead expenses are included in inventory costs. Interest costs are not capitalized into inventory, with the exception of land under development. Upon settlement, the cost of the unit is expensed on a specific identification basis. The cost of building materials is determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

Sold inventory is evaluated for impairment based on the contractual sales price compared to the total estimated cost to construct. Unsold inventory is evaluated for impairment by analyzing recent comparable sales prices within the applicable community compared to the costs incurred to date plus the expected costs to complete. Any calculated impairments are recorded immediately.

30

Land Under Development and Contract Land Deposits

Land Under Development

On a very limited basis, we directly acquire raw parcels of land already zoned for its 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.

Land under development, including the land under development held by our unconsolidated joint ventures and the related joint venture investments, is reviewed for potential write-downs when impairment indicators are present. In addition to considering market and economic conditions, we assess land under development impairments on a community-by-community basis, analyzing, as applicable, current sales absorption levels, recent sales’ gross profit, and the dollar differential between the projected fully-developed cost of the lots and the current market price for lots. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, we perform an analysis to determine if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts, and if they are, impairment charges are required to be recorded in an amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on discounting the estimated future cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams.

At March 31, 2014, we had approximately $46,100 in land under development in five separate communities. In addition, at March 31, 2014, we had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $86,300 in four separate JVs that controlled land under development. None of the communities classified as land under development nor any of the undeveloped land held by the JVs had any indicators of impairment at March 31, 2014. As such, we do not believe that any of the land under development is impaired at this time. However, there can be no assurance that we will not incur impairment charges in the future due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or other events adversely affecting specific markets or the homebuilding industry.

Contract Land Deposits

We purchase finished lots under fixed price purchase agreements that require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the contract. The deposits are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and represent a percentage of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots.

We maintain an allowance for losses on contract land deposits that reflects our judgment of the present loss exposure in the existing contract land deposit portfolio at the end of the reporting period. To analyze contract land deposit impairments, we utilize a loss contingency analysis that is conducted each quarter. In addition to considering market and economic conditions, we assess contract land deposit impairments on a community-by-community basis pursuant to the purchase contract terms, analyzing, as applicable, current sales absorption levels, recent sales’ gross profit, the dollar differential between the contractual purchase price and the current market price for lots, a developer’s financial stability, a developer’s financial ability or willingness to reduce lot prices to current market prices, and the contract’s default status by either us or the developer along with an analysis of the expected outcome of any such default.

Our analysis is focused on whether we can sell houses profitably in a particular community in the current market with which we are faced. Because we do not own the finished lots on which we had placed a contract land deposit, if the above analysis leads to a determination that we cannot sell homes profitably at the current contractual lot price, we then determine whether we will elect to default under the contract, forfeit our deposit and terminate the contract, or whether we will attempt to restructure the lot purchase contract, which may require us to forfeit the deposit to obtain contract concessions from a developer. We also assess whether an impairment is present due to collectability issues resulting from a developer’s non-performance because of financial or other conditions.

31

Although we consider the allowance for losses on contract land deposits reflected on the March 31, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet to be adequate (see Note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein), there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate over time to cover losses due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or other events adversely affecting specific markets or the homebuilding industry.

Excess Reorganization Value

Reorganization value in excess of identifiable assets (“excess reorganization value”) is an indefinite-lived intangible asset that was created upon our emergence from bankruptcy on September 30, 1993. Based on the allocation of our reorganization value, the portion of our reorganization value which was not attributed to specific tangible or intangible assets has been reported as excess reorganization value, which is treated similarly to goodwill. Excess reorganization value is not subject to amortization. Rather, excess reorganization value is subject to an impairment assessment on an annual basis or more frequently if changes in events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Because excess reorganization value was based on the reorganization value of our entire enterprise upon emergence from bankruptcy, the impairment assessment is conducted on an enterprise basis based on the comparison of our total equity compared to the market value of our outstanding publicly-traded common stock. We do not believe that excess reorganization value is impaired at this time. However, changes in strategy or continued adverse changes in market conditions could impact this judgment and require an impairment loss to be recognized if our book value, including excess reorganization value, exceeds the fair value.

Warranty/Product Liability Accruals

Warranty and product liability accruals are established to provide for estimated future costs as a result of construction and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to our business. Liability estimates are determined based on our judgment considering such factors as historical experience, the likely 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 evaluations by our General Counsel and outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases. Although we consider the warranty and product liability accrual reflected on the March 31, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet to be adequate (see Note 10 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein), there can be no assurance that this accrual will prove to be adequate over time to cover losses due to increased costs for material and labor, the inability or refusal of manufacturers or subcontractors to financially participate in corrective action, unanticipated adverse legal settlements, or other unanticipated changes to the assumptions used to estimate the warranty and product liability accrual.

Equity-Based Compensation Expense

Compensation costs related to our equity-based compensation plans are recognized within our income statement. The costs recognized are based on the grant date fair value. Compensation cost for share-based grants 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).

We calculate the fair value of our non-publicly traded, employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. While the Black-Scholes model is a widely accepted method to calculate the fair value of options, its results are dependent on input variables, two of which, expected term and expected volatility, are significantly dependent on management’s judgment. We have concluded that our historical exercise experience is the best estimate of future exercise patterns to determine an option’s expected term. To estimate expected volatility, we analyze the historical volatility of our common stock over a period equal to the

32

option’s expected term. Changes in management’s judgment of the expected term and the expected volatility could have a material effect on the grant-date fair value calculated and expensed within the income statement. In addition, we are required to estimate future grant forfeitures when considering the amount of stock-based compensation costs to record. We have concluded that our historical forfeiture rate is the best measure to base our estimate of future forfeitures of equity-based compensation grants. However, there can be no assurance that our future forfeiture rate will not be materially higher or lower than our historical forfeiture rate, which would affect the aggregate cumulative compensation expense recognized.

Mortgage Loan Loss Allowance

We originate several different loan products to our customers to finance the purchase of their home. We sell all of the loans we originate into the secondary mortgage market generally within 30 days from origination. All of the loans that we originate are underwritten to the standards and specifications of the ultimate investor. Insofar as we underwrite our originated loans to those standards, we bear no increased concentration of credit risk from the issuance of loans, except in certain limited instances where early payment default occurs. Those underwriting standards are typically equal to or more stringent than the underwriting standards required by FNMA, VA and FHA. We employ a quality control department to ensure that our underwriting controls are effectively operating, and further assess the underwriting function as part of our assessment of internal controls over financial reporting. We maintain an allowance for losses on mortgage loans originated that reflects our judgment of the present loss exposure in the loans that we have originated and sold. The allowance is calculated based on an analysis of historical experience and exposure. Although we consider the allowance for loan losses reflected on the March 31, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate over time to cover losses due to unanticipated changes to the assumptions used to estimate the mortgage loan loss allowance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risks during the three months ended March 31, 2014. For additional information regarding market risk, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LegalProceedings

In October 2004, Patrick Tracy, whom we had employed as a Sales and Marketing Representative (“SMR”), filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York alleging that we had misclassified him and other SMRs as outside sales personnel exempt from certain state and federal wage laws, including overtime pay requirements. Mr. Tracy’s attorneys subsequently filed several other lawsuits in various courts asserting substantially similar claims on behalf of various classes or groups of SMRs. None of those courts have held that the claims are appropriate for class, collective, or other group treatment, and the Western District of New York ruled in April 2013 that the claims pending in that court could not proceed on such a basis.

33

In October 2013, Mr. Tracy’s individual claims were tried by a jury, which returned a unanimous verdict in our favor and found that we had properly classified Mr. Tracy as an exempt outside sales person. The plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on February 27, 2014, but he has not yet identified any issues as to which he may seek appellate review. The remainder of the cases noted above are in various stages of pre-trial proceedings, many of them stayed or administratively closed pending a final disposition of theTracy action.

We believe that our compensation practices in regard to SMRs are entirely lawful and have vigorously defended all claims challenging those practices. In light of the points noted above, we have not recorded any associated liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in conjunction with any of those claims.

In June 2010, we received a Request for Information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act. The request sought information about storm water discharge practices in connection with homebuilding projects completed or underway by us in New York and New Jersey. We cooperated with this request, and provided information to the EPA. We were subsequently informed by the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) that the EPA forwarded the information on the matter to the DOJ, and the DOJ requested that we meet with the government to discuss the status of the case. Meetings took place in January 2012 and August 2012 with representatives from both the EPA and DOJ. It is not yet known what next steps, if any, the DOJ will take in the matter. We intend to continue cooperating with any future EPA and/or DOJ inquiries. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of this inquiry, nor can we reasonably estimate the potential costs that may be associated with its eventual resolution.

We are also involved in various other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, and based on advice of legal counsel, this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred in connection with outstanding litigation are expensed as incurred.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There has been no material change to the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 in response to Item 1A. Part 1 of such Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

We had two repurchase authorizations outstanding during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. On July 30, 2013 and December 17, 2013, we publicly announced the Board of Directors’ approval for us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $300,000 per authorization, of our common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorizations do not have expiration dates. We repurchased the following shares of our common stock during the first quarter of 2014:
