NVR, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter And Full Year Results

RESTON, Va., Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NVR, Inc. (NYSE: NVR), one of the nation's largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced net income for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 of $97,811,000, $21.15 per diluted share.  Net income and diluted earnings per share for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 increased 61% and 77%, respectively, when compared to the 2012 fourth quarter.  Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $1,242,152,000, a 32% increase from $943,738,000 for the comparable 2012 quarter.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, consolidated revenues were $4,211,267,000, an increase of 32% from the $3,184,650,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $266,477,000, an increase of 48% when compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.  Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $54.81, an increase of 56% from $35.12 per diluted share for the comparable period of 2012.

Homebuilding

New orders in the fourth quarter of 2013 were 2,631 units, which was flat when compared to 2,625 units in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The cancellation rate in the fourth quarter of 2013 was 14% compared to 15% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 19% in the third quarter of 2013.  Settlements increased in the fourth quarter of 2013 to 3,342 units, 20% higher than the same period in 2012.  The Company's backlog of homes sold but not settled as of December 31, 2013 was down 1% on a unit basis to 4,945 units but was 7% higher on a dollar basis to $1,845,600,000 when compared to December 31, 2012.

Homebuilding revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013 totaled $1,223,808,000, 32% higher than the year earlier period.  Gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of 2013 was 18.2% compared to 18.3% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 17.4% in the third quarter of 2013.  Gross profit margin in the current quarter was negatively impacted by a $15,964,000 expense to increase the warranty accrual for a non-recurring service issue.  This is unrelated to the warranty accrual increase recognized in the second quarter.  Excluding this charge, gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 19.5%.  Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $143,976,000 in the 2013 fourth quarter, an increase of 67% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.  The fourth quarter 2013 pre-tax income results also reflect a reversal of approximately $7,450,000 of stock-based compensation expense due to an adjustment to the Company's estimated forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience.

New orders for the 2013 fiscal year increased 8% to 11,800 units, when compared to 10,954 units in fiscal year 2012.  Home settlements in 2013 increased 20% to 11,834 units from 9,843 units settled in 2012.  Homebuilding revenues for 2013 totaled $4,134,481,000, 32% higher than 2012.  Pre-tax homebuilding income for the 2013 fiscal year was $379,370,000, a 57% increase when compared to 2012.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage closed loan production of $721,926,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was 12% higher than the same period in 2012.  Operating income for the mortgage banking operations during the fourth quarter of 2013 decreased 19% to $7,844,000 when compared to $9,728,000 reported for the same period of 2012.  The decrease in the operating income was attributable to an increase in general and administrative costs resulting from increased headcount in the current year. 

Mortgage closed loan production for the 2013 fiscal year increased 15% to $2,538,072,000.  Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment for 2013 increased 15% to $39,326,000 from $34,153,000 in 2012.
