NVR, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Dan Malzahn
Office: (703) 956-4204
July 20, 2007, Reston, VA--NVR, Inc. (AMEX: NVR), one of the nation's largest
homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced that diluted earnings per
share for its second quarter ended June 30, 2007 decreased 50% and net income
decreased 52% when compared to the 2006 second quarter. Net income for the 2007
second quarter was $90,747,000, $14.14 per diluted share, compared to net income
of $190,352,000, $28.08 per diluted share, for the same period of 2006.
Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2007 totaled $1,316,668,000, a
25% decrease from $1,748,928,000 for the comparable 2006 quarter.
Homebuilding
------------
New orders in the second quarter of 2007 decreased 11% to 3,745 units, when
compared to 4,204 units in the second quarter of 2006. New order units and gross
profit margins continue to be negatively impacted by high levels of new and
existing home inventories, affordability issues and declining homebuyer
confidence. The cancellation rate in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was 16%
compared to 13% in the second quarter of 2006 and 16% in the first quarter of
2007. The Washington, D.C. cancellation rate in the quarter was 21% compared to
21% in the second quarter of 2006 and 22% in the first quarter of 2007.
Settlements decreased in the second quarter of 2007 to 3,463 units, 19% less
than the same period of 2006. Homebuilding revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 totaled $1,297,140,000, 25% lower than the year earlier period.
Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $135,958,000 in the 2007
second quarter, a decrease of 54% when compared to the second quarter of the
previous year. Gross profit margins decreased to 18.1% in the 2007 second
quarter compared to 24.3% for the same period in 2006. The decline in gross
profit margins was due to continued pricing pressure in many of our markets and
land deposit impairments of approximately $55,000,000. These impairments lowered
gross margins by 424 basis points and reduced diluted earnings per share by
approximately $5.20 for the 2007 quarter. The Company's backlog of homes sold
but not settled at the end of the 2007 quarter decreased on a unit basis by 11%
to 7,887 units and 19% on a dollar basis to $3,085,939,000 when compared to the
same period last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, consolidated revenues were
$2,409,857,000, 18% lower than the $2,953,583,000 reported for the same period
of 2006. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $175,568,000, a
decrease of 46% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Earnings
per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $27.11, a decrease
of 43% from $47.54 per diluted share for the comparable period of 2006.
Mortgage Banking
----------------
Mortgage closed loan production of $849,430,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2007 was 24% lower than the same period last year. Sub-prime loans accounted
for approximately 6% of our captured mortgage closed loan volume in the current
quarter compared to 5% for the second quarter of 2006. Operating income for the
mortgage banking operations during the second quarter of 2007 decreased 33% to
$11,719,000, when compared to $17,486,000 reported for the same period of 2006.
