Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
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, 2023. 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 $369,274 and $334,441 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We expect that substantially all of the customer deposits held as of December 31, 2023 will be recognized in revenue in 2024. Our contract assets consist of prepaid sales compensation and totaled approximately $25,300 and $17,900 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Prepaid sales compensation is included in homebuilding "Other assets" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in the ASU require disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and for the entity to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The amendments in the ASU are to be applied on a prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 and do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments in the ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments also expand interim segment disclosure requirements. The ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and for interim periods starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The
5

(unaudited)
amendments in this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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 June 30, 2024, we controlled approximately 142,300 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $673,900 and $10,400, 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 and, in very limited circumstances, specific performance obligations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a net expense reversal of approximately $1,300 and $8,800, respectively, related to previously impaired lot deposits based on current market conditions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a net expense reversal of approximately $6,900 and $10,000, respectively, related to previously impaired lot deposits. Our contract land deposit asset is shown net of a $44,607 and $53,397 impairment reserve as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
In addition, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 30,400 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 cash deposits totaling approximately $17,000 as of June 30, 2024, of which approximately $4,300 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our total risk of loss was as follows:
June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Contract land deposits $ 690,948 $ 629,948
Loss reserve on contract land deposits (44,607) (53,397)
Contract land deposits, net 646,341 576,551
Contingent obligations in the form of letters of credit 10,430 7,769
Total risk of loss $ 656,771 $ 584,320
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 joint venture. We are
6
Table of Contents
NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
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. We determined that we are not the primary beneficiary in any of the JVs because we and the other JV partner either share power or the other JV partner has the controlling financial interest.
As of June 30, 2024, we had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $27,100 in four JVs that are expected to produce approximately 5,150 finished lots, of which approximately 4,800 lots were controlled by us and the remaining approximately 350 lots were either under contract with unrelated parties or not currently under contract. We had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $10,600 to one of the JVs as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, our aggregate investment in JVs totaled approximately $29,200. Investments in JVs for the respective periods are reported in the homebuilding "Other assets" line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. None of the JVs had any indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2024.
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 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. During the first quarter of 2024, we purchased a raw land parcel for approximately $20,000, which is expected to produce approximately 850 lots.
As of June 30, 2024, we owned land with a carrying value of $61,512 that will be developed into approximately 2,600 finished lots. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of land under development was $36,895. None of the raw parcels had any indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2024.
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 respective lots. Interest incurred in excess of the interest capitalizable based on the level of qualified assets is expensed in the period incurred.

The following non-qualified stock options ("Options") and restricted stock units ("RSUs") issued under equity incentive plans were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

We issued 53,615 and 97,556 shares from the treasury account during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, in settlement of Option exercises.
8. 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.
The following table reflects the changes in our Warranty Reserve during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Warranty reserve, beginning of period $ 143,129 $ 144,431 $ 146,283 $ 144,006
Provision 23,273 22,312 42,221 43,582
Payments (23,061) (24,323) (45,163) (45,168)
Warranty reserve, end of period $ 143,341 $ 142,420 $ 143,341 $ 142,420
9. Segment Disclosures
We disclose four homebuilding reportable segments that aggregate geographically our homebuilding operating segments, and we present our mortgage banking operations as one reportable segment. The homebuilding
10
Table of Contents
NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
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, Georgia and Kentucky
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 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 3.00% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Senior Notes"), which are not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.
The following tables present segment revenues, profit and assets with reconciliations to the amounts reported for the consolidated enterprise, where applicable:

10. 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 estimated fair values of our Senior Notes as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $795,816 and $803,646, respectively. 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 values as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $912,078 and $913,027, respectively.
Due to the short term nature of our cash equivalents, we believe that insignificant differences exist between their carrying value and fair value.
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 an investor. 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 investors. The forward sales contracts lock-in a range of interest rates and prices for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. NVRM does not engage in speculative derivative activities. Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to investors are undesignated derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings. As of June 30, 2024, there were contractual commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $2,485,351 and
13
Table of Contents
NVR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
open forward delivery contracts aggregating $2,476,295, 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 almost 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 investors 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 June 30, 2024, the fair value of loans held for sale of $392,943 included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet was increased by $6,367 from the aggregate principal balance of $386,576. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of loans held for sale of $222,560 was increased by $6,349 from the aggregate principal balance of $216,211.
The fair value measurement of NVRM's undesignated derivative instruments was as follows:
June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Rate lock commitments:
Gross assets $ 45,257 $ 61,150
Gross liabilities 7,934 168
Net rate lock commitments $ 37,323 $ 60,982
Forward sales contracts:
Gross assets $ 5,676 $ 8
Gross liabilities 3,834 18,305
Net forward sales contracts $ 1,842 $ (18,297)
As of June 30, 2024, the net rate lock commitments and the net forward sales contracts are reported in mortgage banking "Other assets," on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31,

Total fair value measurement $ 12,573 $ (4,623) $ 35,740 $ 1,842 $ 45,532
The total fair value measurement as of December 31, 2023 was a net gain of $49,034. NVRM recorded a fair value adjustment to income of $668 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and recorded a fair value adjustment to expense of $3,502 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. NVRM recorded a fair value adjustment to income of $301 and $42,489 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 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 NVRM's closed loans and locked loan commitments.
11. Debt
As of June 30, 2024, we had the following debt instruments outstanding:
Senior Notes
Our outstanding Senior Notes have an aggregate principal balance of $900,000, mature on May 15, 2030 and bear interest at 3.00%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any of our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The Senior Notes were issued in three separate issuances, $600,000 issued at a discount to yield 3.02%, and the two additional issuances totaling $300,000 issued at a premium to yield 2.00%. The Senior Notes have been reflected net of the unamortized discount or premium, as applicable, and the unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
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 as of June 30, 2024.
Credit Agreement
We have an unsecured Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which 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. The Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, of which approximately $16,100 was outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The Credit Agreement termination date is February 12, 2026. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of June 30, 2024.

Repurchase Agreement
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 agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement"), which is non-recourse to NVR. The Repurchase Agreement provides for loan purchases up to $150,000, subject to certain sub-limits. Amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement are collateralized by the Company's mortgage loans held for sale.
Effective July 16, 2024, NVRM entered into the Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as Agent and a Buyer (the "Amended MRA"), which extended the term of the Repurchase Agreement through July 14, 2025. All other terms and conditions under the Amended Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. As of June 30, 2024, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement and there were no borrowings outstanding.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various 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.
13. Leases
We have operating leases for our corporate and division offices, production facilities, model homes, and certain office and production equipment. Additionally, we have finance leases for certain production equipment and facilities which are recorded in homebuilding "Property, plant and equipment, net" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our finance lease Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and finance lease liabilities were $29,838 and $31,767, respectively, as of June 30, 2024, and $13,310 and $14,965, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 16.2 years, some of which include options to extend the lease for up to 20 years, and some of which include options to terminate the lease.
We recognize operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected to use the portfolio approach for certain equipment leases which have similar lease terms and payment schedules. Additionally, for certain equipment we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Our sublease income is de minimis.
We have certain leases, primarily the leases of model homes, which have initial lease terms of twelve months or less ("Short-term leases"). We elected to exclude these leases from the recognition requirements under Topic 842, and these leases have not been included in our recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Business Environment and Current Outlook
Consistent with the first quarter of 2024, demand for new homes remained solid in the second quarter of 2024 despite continued affordability issues driven by high mortgage interest rates and home prices. New home demand continues to be favorably impacted by a limited supply of homes in the resale market; however, we expect that affordability issues, inflationary pressures, interest rate volatility and economic uncertainty may weigh on future demand. We also expect to continue to face cost pressures related to building materials, labor and land costs which will impact profit margins based on our ability to manage these costs while balancing sales pace and home prices. Although we are unable to predict the extent to which this will impact our operational and financial performance, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise from future economic and homebuilding market volatility due to the strength of our balance sheet and our disciplined lot acquisition strategy.
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, Georgia and Kentucky
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 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 June 30, 2024, we controlled approximately 149,700 lots as described below.
Lot Purchase Agreements
We controlled approximately 142,300 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $673,900 and $10,400, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 9,700 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment reserve of approximately $44,600 as of June 30, 2024.
Joint Venture Limited Liability Corporations ("JVs")
We had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $27,100 in fourJVs, expected to produce approximately 5,150 lots. Of the lots to be produced by the JVs, approximately 4,800 lots were controlled by us and approximately 350 were either under contract with unrelated parties or currently not under contract. We had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $10,600 to one of the JVs as of June 30, 2024.
Land Under Development
We owned land with a carrying value of approximately $61,500 that will be developed into approximately 2,600 finished lots.
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 30,400 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. As of June 30, 2024, these properties are controlled with deposits in cash totaling approximately $17,000, of which approximately $4,300 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
Our consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $2,612,457, a 12% increase from the second quarter of 2023. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $400,904, or $120.69 per diluted share. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, net income decreased 1% and diluted earnings per share increased 4% when compared to net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2023, respectively. Our homebuilding gross profit margin percentage decreased to 23.6% in the second quarter of 2024 from 24.3% in the second quarter of 2023. New orders, net of cancellations ("New Orders") increased by 3% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. The New Order cancellation rate for the second quarter of 2024 increased to 12.9% from 10.9% in the same period in 2023. The average sales price for New Orders in the second quarter of 2024 was $458.8, an increase of 3% compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Consolidated Homebuilding - Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Homebuilding revenues increased 12% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of an 11% increase in the number of units settled. The increase in settlements was primarily attributable to a 7% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2024 compared to the backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2023, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. Gross profit margin percentage in the second quarter of 2024 decreased to 23.6%, from 24.3% in the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit margin was negatively impacted by higher lot and closing costs quarter over quarter.
New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders both increased 3% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. New Orders were favorably impacted by a 2% increase in the average

number of active communities quarter over quarter, coupled with favorable market conditions which led to a higher sales absorption rate in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders is primarily attributable to a relative shift to higher priced communities in certain of our reporting segments as discussed in the respective segments below.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by approximately $7,300 compared to the second quarter of 2023, and as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.5% from 6.5% quarter over quarter. The decrease in SG&A expense was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $6,800 in equity-based compensation quarter over quarter due primarily to the Options and RSUs issued as part of the 2018 four-year block grant being fully vested as of December 31, 2023.
Consolidated Homebuilding - Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Homebuilding revenues increased 9% in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, as a result of an 11% increase in the number of units settled, offset partially by a 1% decrease in the average settlement price year over year. The increase in settlements was attributable to a 12% higher backlog unit balance entering 2024 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2023. Gross profit margin percentage in the first six months of 2024 decreased to 24.0% from 24.4% in the first six months of 2023. Gross profit margin was negatively impacted by higher lot and closing costs year over year.
New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders both increased 3% in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. New Orders were favorably impacted by a 2% increase in the average number of active communities year over year. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders is attributable to a relative shift to higher priced markets and communities in certain of our reporting segments as discussed in the respective segments below.
SG&A expense in the first six months of 2024 increased by approximately $1,600 compared to the same period in 2023, and as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.1% in 2024 from 6.6% in 2023. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily attributable to a $7,200 increase in personnel costs attributable to an increase in headcount year over year. Additionally, sales and marketing expenses were approximately $4,000 higher year over year due to an increase in model home related expenses. These increases in SG&A expense were partially offset by an $11,100 decrease in equity-based compensation year over year due primarily to the Options and RSUs issued as part of the 2018 four-year block grant being fully vested as of December 31, 2023.
Our backlog represents homes sold but not yet settled with our customers. As of June 30, 2024, our backlog increased on a unit basis by 3% to 11,597 units and on a dollar basis by 6% to $5,454,470 when compared to 11,231 units and $5,150,347, respectively, as of June 30, 2023. The increase in the number of backlog units was primarily attributable to a 12% higher backlog unit balance entering 2024 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2023. Backlog dollars were higher primarily due to the increase in backlog units year over year, coupled with a 3% increase in the average sales price of New Orders for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Our 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 13% and 12% in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the most recent four quarters, approximately 4% 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 2024 or future years. Other than those units that are cancelled, we expect to settle substantially all of our June 30, 2024 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.

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 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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 $10,400 and $7,700 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, of letters of credit issued as deposits in lieu of cash.

Mid Atlantic
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $13,900, or 7%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $74,900, or 7%. Segment revenues increased due to an 8% increase in the number of units settled quarter over quarter, attributable primarily to a 7% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2024 compared to backlog entering the second quarter of 2023. The segment's gross profit margin percentage decreased to 24.7% in the second quarter of 2024 from 25.1% in the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit margins were negatively impacted primarily by higher lot and closing costs quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders decreased 2%, while the average sales price of New Orders increased 3% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. New Orders were negatively impacted by a 10% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter, offset partially by favorable market conditions which led to a higher sales absorption rate in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders was favorably impacted by a shift in New Orders to higher priced communities within certain markets in the segment quarter over quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $44,800, or 13%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $151,200, or 8%, coupled with an increase in gross profit margins. Segment revenues increased due to a 9% increase in the number of units settled which was primarily attributable to an 11% higher backlog unit balance entering 2024 compared to backlog entering 2023. The segment's gross profit margin percentage increased to 25.2% in the first six months of 2024 from 24.7% in the first six months of 2023. Gross profit margins were positively impacted primarily by the improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity, offset partially by higher lot and closing costs year over year.
Segment New Orders remained relatively flat in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, while the average sales price of New Orders increased 2% year over year. New Orders were negatively impacted by a 7% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter, offset by favorable market conditions which led to a higher sales absorption rate year over year. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders was favorably impacted by a shift in New Orders to higher priced communities within certain markets in the segment year over year.
North East
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
The North East segment had an approximate $9,400, or 21%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $54,400, or 23%. Segment revenues increased due to a 13% increase in the number of units settled and a 9% increase in the average settlement price quarter over quarter. The increases in settlements and the average settlement price were primarily attributable to a 13% higher backlog unit balance and an 8% higher average price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2024 compared to backlog units and average price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2023. The segment's gross profit margin percentage decreased to 26.5% in the second quarter of 2024 from 27.2% in the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit margins were negatively impacted primarily by higher lot and closing costs, offset partially by improved leveraging of certain operating costs as settlement activity increased.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 3% and 12%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. Despite a 14% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter, New Orders were favorably impacted by favorable market conditions which led to a higher sales absorption rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders was attributable to a shift in New Orders to higher priced markets within the segment, coupled with a shift to higher priced communities in certain markets quarter over quarter.

The North East segment had an approximate $24,200, or 31%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. Segment profits were favorably impacted by an increase in segment revenue of approximately $126,600, or 30%. Segment revenues were favorably impacted by a 20% increase in the number of units settled and a 9% increase in the average settlement price year over year. The increase in settlements was primarily attributable to a 16% higher backlog unit balance entering 2024 compared to backlog entering 2023, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate year over year. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 9% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 2024 compared to backlog entering 2023. The segment's gross profit margin percentage decreased to 26.4% in the first six months of 2024 from 27.0% in the first six months of 2023. Gross profit margin was negatively impacted primarily by higher lot and closing costs, offset partially by improved leveraging of certain operating costs as settlement activity increased.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 11% and 9%, respectively, in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. Despite a 11% decrease in the average number of active communities year over year, New Orders were favorably impacted by favorable market conditions which led to a higher sales absorption rate year over year. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders was attributable to a shift in New Orders to higher priced markets within the segment, coupled with a shift to higher priced communities in certain markets year over year.
Mid East
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
The Mid East segment had an approximate $1,800, or 3%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, due primarily to an increase in segment revenues of approximately $22,300, or 5%. Segment revenues were favorably impacted primarily by a 5% increase in the average price of homes settled quarter over quarter, due primarily to a 7% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2024 compared to backlog entering the second quarter of 2023. The segment's gross profit margin percentage remained relatively flat quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders decreased 6% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, while the average sales price of New Orders increased 3% quarter over quarter. New Orders were negatively impacted by a 9% decrease in the number of active communities quarter over quarter. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders was primarily attributable to a shift in New Orders to higher priced communities in certain markets quarter over quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
The Mid East segment had an approximate $11,800, or 10%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, due primarily to an increase in segment revenues of approximately $36,900, or 5%, coupled with an increase in gross profit margins to 22.2% in the first six months of 2024 from 21.5% in the first six months of 2023. Segment revenues increased primarily due to a 3% increase in the number of units settled year over year. The increase in settlements was attributable primarily to a 7% higher backlog unit balance entering 2024 compared to the backlog entering 2023, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate period over period. Gross profit margin was favorably impacted by the improved leveraging of certain operating costs as settlement activity increased, offset partially by higher lot and closing costs year over year.
Segment New Orders decreased 5% in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, while the average sales price of New Orders increased 5% year over year. New Orders were negatively impacted by an 11% decrease in the number of active communities year over year, offset partially by favorable market conditions which led to a higher sales absorption rate year over year. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders was primarily attributable to a shift in New Orders to higher priced communities in certain markets year over year.

South East
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
The South East segment had an approximate $12,200, or 11%, decrease in segment profit in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in segment profit was primarily driven by a decrease in gross profit margins to 22.2% in the second quarter of 2024 from 26.2% in the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit margins were negatively impacted primarily by higher lot and closing costs. Segment revenues in the second quarter of 2024 were higher by approximately $112,500, or 19%, due to a 22% increase in the number of units settled. The increase in settlements is attributable to a 12% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2024 compared to the backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2023, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders increased 16% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, while the average sales price of New Orders remained relatively flat quarter over quarter. New Orders were favorably impacted by a 35% increase in the average number of active communities, offset partially by a lower absorption rate within the segment quarter over quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
The South East segment had an approximate $46,200, or 20%, decrease in segment profit in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 due primarily to a decrease in gross profit margins to 23.3% in the first six months of 2024 from 27.0% in the first six months of 2023. Gross profit margins were negatively impacted primarily by higher lot and closing costs. Segment revenues in the second quarter of 2024 were higher by approximately $104,200, or 9%, due to a 15% increase in the number of units settled, partially offset by a 6% decrease in the average price of units settled year over year. The increase in settlements was attributable primarily to a 15% higher backlog balance entering 2024 compared to the backlog entering 2023. The decrease in the average settlement price was attributable primarily to a 7% lower average sales price of units in backlog entering 2024 compared to backlog entering 2023.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 10% and 1%, respectively, in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. The increase in New Orders was primarily attributable to a 35% increase in the average number of active communities, offset partially by a lower absorption rate within the segment year over year.

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.

Mortgage Banking Segment
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
We conduct our mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. ("NVRM"), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses exclusively on serving the homebuilding segment's customers. NVRM sells almost all of the mortgage loans it closes to investors in the secondary markets on a servicing-released basis, typically within 30 days from the loan closing. The following table summarizes the results of our mortgage banking operations and certain statistical data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,

Loan closing volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by approximately $148,400, or 11%, and $289,200, or 11%, respectively, from the same periods in 2023. The increase in loan closing volume during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to the 11% increase in the homebuilding segment's number of units settled for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023.

Table of Contents
Segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by approximately $8,400, or 22%, from the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $10,000, or 18%, in mortgage banking fees due to an increase in gains on sales of loans. This increase was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $2,700, or 12%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 due primarily to an increase in personnel costs.
Segment profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by approximately $8,600, or 13%, from the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of approximately $10,300, or 10%, in mortgage banking fees due to an increase in gains on sales of loans. This increase was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $4,100, or 10%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 due primarily to an increase in personnel costs.
Seasonality
We historically have experienced variability in our quarterly results, generally having 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, in recent years our typical seasonal trends have been affected by significant changes in market conditions. As a result, our quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was 24.9% and 20.8%, respectively, compared to 14.3% and 17.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in the three and six month periods of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily attributable to a lower income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled approximately $6,800 and $50,600 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and approximately $55,900 and $79,200 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 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
We fund our operations primarily from our current cash holdings and cash flows generated by operating activities. In addition, we have available a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility and revolving mortgage repurchase facility, as further described below. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $2,500,000 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $283,900 in unused committed capacity under our revolving credit facility and $150,000 in unused committed capacity under our revolving mortgage repurchase facility.
Material Cash Requirements
We believe that our current cash holdings, cash generated from operations, and cash available under our short-term unsecured credit agreement and revolving mortgage repurchase facility, as well as the public debt and equity 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 material contractual obligations primarily consist of the following:
(i) Payments due to service our debt and interest on that debt. Future interest payments on our outstanding senior notes total $158,550, with $27,000 due within the next twelve months.
(ii) Payment obligations totaling approximately $444,000 under existing LPAs for deposits to be paid to land developers, assuming that contractual development milestones are met by the developers and we exercise our
31
Table of Contents
option to acquire finished lots under those LPAs. We expect to make the majority of these payments within the next three years.
(iii) Obligations under operating and finance leases related primarily to office space and our production facilities. See Note 13 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion of our leases.
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 program assists us in accomplishing our primary objective, 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 second quarter of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 150,026 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1,135,912. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $1,040,000 available under Board approved repurchase authorizations.
Capital Resources
Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2024, we had Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $900,000, 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 as of June 30, 2024.
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. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit of which there was approximately $16,100 outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The Credit Agreement termination date is February 12, 2026. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2024.
Repurchase Agreement
NVRM has an unsecured revolving mortgage repurchase facility (the "Repurchase Agreement") which provides for aggregate borrowings up to $150,000 and is non-recourse to NVR. In July 2024, NVRM entered into the Second Amendment to the Repurchase Agreement, which extended the term of the Repurchase Agreement through July 14, 2025. All other terms and conditions under the amended Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. As of June 30, 2024, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement as of June 30, 2024.
For additional information regarding the Senior Notes, Credit Agreement and Repurchase Agreement, see Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents decreased by $686,498. Net cash provided by operating activities was $379,150 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due primarily to cash provided by earnings. Cash was primarily used to fund the increase in inventory of $294,269, attributable to an increase in units under construction as of June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 and a net use of approximately $168,000 from mortgage loan activity.

Table of Contents
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $11,145. Cash was used primarily for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $15,411.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1,054,503 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash was used to repurchase 150,026 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1,135,912 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed above. Cash was provided from stock option exercise proceeds totaling $82,464.
