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, 2020. 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, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalent balances presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows includes cash related to a consolidated joint venture which is included in homebuilding "Other assets" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash related to this consolidated joint venture as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $273 and $269 , respectively, and as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $272 and $281 , respectively.
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.

NVR, Inc.

(unaudited)
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, 2021, we controlled approximately 112,000 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $460,900 and $6,900 , 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. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a net reversal of approximately $7,200 and $13,400 , respectively, related to previously impaired lot deposits as market conditions have improved. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded pre-tax charges of approximately $900 and $37,300 , respectively, related to the impairment of deposits under LPAs due primarily to deteriorating market conditions in certain of our markets related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our contract land deposit is shown net of a $38,831 and $52,205 impairment reserve at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
In addition, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 9,000 lots, which are not included in the number of total lots controlled. Some of these properties may require rezoning or other approvals to achieve the expected yield. These properties are controlled with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $3,200 and $100 , respectively, as of June 30, 2021, of which approximately $2,800 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.

3. Joint Ventures
On a limited basis, we obtain finished lots using joint venture limited liability corporations (“JVs”). The JVs are typically structured such that we are a non-controlling member and are at risk only for the amount we have invested, or have committed to invest, in addition to any deposits placed under LPAs with the JV. We are not a borrower, guarantor or obligor on any debt of the JVs, as applicable. We enter into LPAs to purchase lots from these JVs, and as a result have a variable interest in these JVs.
At June 30, 2021, we had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $21,700 in four JVs that are expected to produce approximately 2,350 finished lots, of which approximately 2,000 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 $3,100 to one of the JVs at June 30, 2021. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of three of the JVs because we either share power with the other JV partner or the other JV partner has the controlling financial interest. The aggregate investment in unconsolidated JVs was approximately $21,700 and $23,600 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is reported in the “Other assets” line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated

(unaudited)
balance sheets. None of the unconsolidated JVs had any indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2021. For the remaining JV, we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary because we have the controlling financial interest in the JV. As of December 31, 2020, all activities under the consolidated JV had been completed. As of June 30, 2021, we had no investment remaining in the JV and the JV had remaining balances of $273 in cash and $252 in accrued expenses, which are included in homebuilding "Other assets" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities," respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We recognize income from the JVs as a reduction to the lot cost of the lots purchased from the respective JVs when the homes are settled, based on the expected total profitability and the total number of lots expected to be produced by the respective JVs.
We classify distributions received from unconsolidated JVs using the cumulative earnings approach. As a result, distributions received up to the amount of cumulative earnings recognized by us are reported as distributions of earnings and those in excess of that amount are reported as a distribution of capital. These distributions are classified within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from operating activities and investing activities, respectively.
4. Land Under Development
On a limited basis, we directly acquire raw land parcels already zoned for 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 second quarter of 2021, we had the following land under development transactions:
–Sold a land parcel to a developer for approximately $45,800 , which approximated our carrying value of the property as of the sale date. In conjunction with the sale, we entered into an LPA with the developer for the option to purchase the finished lots expected to be developed from the parcel.
–Completed the development of one land parcel and transferred development costs totaling approximately $16,500 to inventory which is reported in "Unsold lots and housing units" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.
–Purchased a raw land parcel for approximately $7,200 , which is expected to produce approximately 80 lots.

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.

9. Segment Disclosures
We disclose four homebuilding reportable segments that aggregate geographically our homebuilding operating segments, and our mortgage banking operations presented as one 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, Florida and Tennessee | |||||||
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 3.95 % Senior Notes due 2022 and 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.

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.

Except as otherwise noted below, we believe that insignificant differences exist between the carrying value and the fair value of our financial instruments, which consist primarily of cash equivalents, due to their short term nature.
Derivative Instruments and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
In the normal course of business, our wholly-owned mortgage subsidiary, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to our homebuyers with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers "lock-in" a specified interest rate within time frames established by NVRM. All mortgagors are evaluated for credit worthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the "lock-in" of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to a broker/dealer. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, NVRM enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The forward sales contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. NVRM does not engage in speculative or trading derivative activities. Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers are undesignated derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings. At June 30, 2021, there were rate lock commitments to extend credit to borrowers aggregating $1,130,241 and open forward delivery contracts aggregating $1,263,416 , which hedge both the rate lock commitments and closed loans held for sale.
The fair value of NVRM’s rate lock commitments to borrowers and the related input levels include, as applicable:
i)the assumed gain/loss of the expected resultant loan sale (Level 2);
ii)the effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date (Level 2); and
iii)the value of the servicing rights associated with the loan (Level 2).
The assumed gain/loss considers the excess servicing to be received or buydown fees to be paid upon securitization of the loan. The excess servicing and buydown fees are calculated pursuant to contractual terms with investors. To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, NVRM utilizes applicable published mortgage-backed security prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount. NVRM sells all of its loans on a servicing released basis, and receives a servicing released premium upon sale. Thus, the value of the servicing rights is included in the fair value measurement and is based upon contractual terms with investors and varies depending on the loan type. NVRM assumes a fallout rate when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments. Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which NVRM does not close a mortgage loan and is based on historical experience.
The fair value of NVRM’s forward sales contracts to broker/dealers solely considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date (Level 2). The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.
Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value when closed, and thereafter are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, net of deferred origination costs, until sold. Fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of loans held for sale of $344,680 included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet has been increased by $4,699 from the aggregate principal balance of $339,981 . As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of loans held for sale of $449,760 were increased by $10,042 from the aggregate principal balance of $439,718 .

11. Debt
As of June 30, 2021, we had the following debt instruments outstanding:
3.95% Senior Notes due 2022 ("2022 Senior Notes")
The 2022 Senior Notes have a principal balance of $600,000 . The 2022 Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2022 and bear interest at 3.95 %, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 . The 2022 Senior Notes were issued at a discount to yield 3.97 % and have been reflected net of the unamortized discount and unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
3.00% Senior Notes due 2030 ("2030 Senior Notes")
The 2030 Senior Notes have an aggregate principal balance of $900,000 and mature on May 15, 2030. The 2030 Senior Notes bear interest at 3.00 %, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 . The 2030 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 2030 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.
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 $11,900 was outstanding at June 30, 2021. The Credit Agreement termination date is February 12, 2026. There was no debt outstanding under the Facility at June 30, 2021.
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.
In July 2021, NVRM entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to the Repurchase Agreement, which extended the term of the Repurchase Agreement through July 20, 2022. All other terms and conditions under the amended Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. At June 30, 2021, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement. There was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at June 30, 2021.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
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 plant equipment and one of our production 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 ROU assets and finance lease liabilities were $14,973 and $15,601 , respectively, as of June 30, 2021, and $15,772 and $16,173 , respectively, as of December 31, 2020. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 19.2 years, some of which include options to extend the leases 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, 2021 and 2020
Overview
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on all facets of our business. Our primary focus as we face this challenge is to do everything we can to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and trade partners. In each of our markets, we continue to operate in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as state and local guidelines, which have resulted in significant changes to the way we conduct business.
Although current demand for new homes is strong, there remains uncertainty regarding the extent and timing of disruption to our business that may result from COVID-19 and related governmental actions. There is also uncertainty as to the effects of economic relief efforts on the U.S. economy, unemployment, consumer confidence, demand for our homes and the mortgage market, including lending standards and secondary mortgage markets. We are unable to predict the extent to which this will impact our operational and financial performance, including the impact of future developments such as the duration and spread of COVID-19, corresponding governmental actions, and the impact of such on our employees, customers and trade partners.
19
Outlook
Demand for new homes remained strong in the second quarter of 2021, driven by historically low mortgage interest rates and limited housing supply. This has resulted in strong sales absorptions and rising home prices. Additionally, the strong demand has led to increased construction activity and demand for building materials, which, along with the impacts of COVID-19, has resulted in some supply chain disruptions. We expect these issues to continue over the next several quarters as suppliers continue to work through the disruptions to meet the increased demand.
Business
Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominiums, all of which are primarily constructed on a pre-sold basis. To fully serve customers of our homebuilding operations, we also operate a mortgage banking and title services business. We primarily conduct our operations in mature markets. Additionally, we generally grow our business through market share gains in our existing markets and by expanding into markets contiguous to our current active markets. Our four homebuilding reportable segments consist of the following regions:
| Mid Atlantic: | Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C. | |||||||
| North East: | New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania | |||||||
| Mid East: | New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois | |||||||
| South East: | North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee | |||||||
Our lot acquisition strategy is predicated upon avoiding the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and development. We generally do not engage in land development (see discussion below of our land development activities). Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots from various third party land developers pursuant to fixed price finished lot purchase agreements (“LPAs”). These LPAs require deposits, typically ranging up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots, in the form of cash or letters of credit that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the LPA. This strategy has allowed us to maximize inventory turnover, which we believe enables us to minimize market risk and to operate with less capital, thereby enhancing rates of return on equity and total capital.
In addition to constructing homes primarily on a pre-sold basis and utilizing what we believe is a conservative lot acquisition strategy, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets, which we believe contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets. Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build.
In certain specific strategic circumstances, we deviate from our historical lot acquisition strategy and engage in joint venture arrangements with land developers or directly acquire raw ground already zoned for its intended use for development. Once we acquire control of raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter into an LPA with the developer to purchase the finished lots or to hire a developer to develop the land on our behalf. While joint venture arrangements and direct land development activity are not our preferred method of acquiring finished building lots, we may enter into additional transactions in the future on a limited basis where there exists a compelling strategic or prudent financial reason to do so. We expect, however, to continue to acquire substantially all our finished lot inventory using LPAs with forfeitable deposits.
As of June 30, 2021, we controlled approximately 114,100 lots as described below.
Lot Purchase Agreements
We controlled approximately 112,000 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $460,900 and $6,900, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 6,200 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment reserve of approximately $38,800 as of June 30, 2021.
20
Joint Venture Limited Liability Corporations (“JVs”)
We had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $21,700 in four JVs, expected to produce approximately 2,350 lots. Of the lots to be produced by the JVs, approximately 2,000 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 $3,100 to one of the JVs at June 30, 2021.
Land Under Development
We directly owned two separate raw land parcels, zoned for their intended use, with a cost basis, including development costs, of approximately $7,800 that we intend to develop into approximately 100 finished lots. We had additional funding commitments of approximately $5,100 under a joint development agreement related to one parcel, a portion of which we expect will be offset by development credits of approximately $2,800.
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 9,000 lots, which are not included in the number of total lots controlled. Some of these properties may require rezoning or other approvals to achieve the expected yield. These properties are controlled with deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $3,200 and $100, respectively, as of June 30, 2021, of which approximately $2,800 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 2021 totaled $2,283,598, a 41% increase from the second quarter of 2020. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $321,295, or $82.45 per diluted share, increases of 96% and 94% when compared to net income and diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2020, respectively. Our homebuilding gross profit margin percentage increased to 22.6% in the second quarter of 2021 from 19.2% in the second quarter of 2020. New orders, net of cancellations (“New Orders”) decreased by 6% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. The average sales price for New Orders in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 20% to $440.2 compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Consolidated Homebuilding - Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Homebuilding revenues increased 40% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, as a result of a 32% increase in the number of units settled and a 6% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in the number of units settled was attributable to a 42% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 7% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
Gross profit margin percentage in the second quarter of 2021 increased to 22.6%, from 19.2% in the second quarter of 2020. Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by the increase in the average settlement price attributable to improved pricing power in prior quarters and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity quarter over quarter. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor quarter over quarter.
The number of New Orders decreased 6% while the average sales price of New Orders increased 20% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. New Orders were lower due primarily to a 13% decrease in average number of active communities in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders quarter over quarter was attributable to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense in the second quarter of 2021 increased by approximately $10,700, but as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.1% from 6.5% quarter over quarter due to improved leveraging of SG&A costs. The increase in SG&A expense quarter over quarter was attributable primarily to increased incentive compensation attributable to stronger performance quarter over quarter, as well as increased personnel costs due to increased headcount.
Consolidated Homebuilding - Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Homebuilding revenues increased 33% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, as a result of a 26% increase in the number of units settled and a 6% increase in the average settlement price. The increase in the number of units settled was attributable to a 40% higher backlog unit balance entering 2021 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year.
22
The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 4% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 2021 compared to backlog entering 2020.
Gross profit margin percentage in the first six months of 2021 increased to 21.2% from 18.0% in the first six months of 2020. Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by the increase in the average settlement price attributable to improved pricing power in prior quarters and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity year over year. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor year over year. Additionally, the increase in gross profit margin year over year was attributable to gross profit margin in 2020 being negatively impacted by contract land deposit impairment charges of approximately $37,300, or 118 basis points.
The number of New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 8% and 15%, respectively, in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders were higher due to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power.
SG&A expense in the first six months of 2021 increased by approximately $22,000, but as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.6% from 6.8% year over year due to improved leveraging of SG&A costs. The increase in SG&A expense year over year was attributable primarily to increased incentive compensation attributable to stronger performance year over year, as well as increased personnel costs due to increased headcount.
Our backlog represents homes sold but not yet settled with our customers. As of June 30, 2021, our backlog increased on a unit basis by 19% to 12,627 units and increased on a dollar basis by 35% to $5,410,376 when compared to 10,623 units and $4,009,695, respectively, as of June 30, 2020. The increase in backlog units was primarily attributable to an 8% increase in New Orders during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, coupled with a lower backlog turnover rate period over period. Our backlog turnover rate was negatively impacted by a longer production cycle attributable to subcontractor capacity constraints as we work to expand production to meet our increased sales pace. Backlog dollars were higher due to the increase in backlog units and a 15% increase in the average sales price of New Orders during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
In addition to the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, 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 9% and 18% in the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the most recent four quarters, approximately 3% of a reporting quarter’s opening backlog cancelled during the fiscal quarter. We can provide no assurance that our historical cancellation rates are indicative of the actual cancellation rate that may occur during the remainder of 2021 or future years. Other than those units that are cancelled, and subject to potential construction delays resulting from COVID-19 related restrictions, we expect to settle substantially all of our June 30, 2021 backlog within the next twelve months.
The backlog turnover rate is impacted by various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in New Order activity, internal production capacity, external subcontractor capacity, building material supply chain disruptions and other external factors over which we do not exercise control, such as the impact of governmental orders to limit construction activities as a result of COVID-19.
Reportable Segments
Homebuilding segment profit includes all revenues and income generated from the sale of homes, less the cost of homes sold, SG&A expenses, and a corporate capital allocation charge determined by corporate management. The corporate capital allocation charge eliminates in consolidation and is based on the segment’s average net assets employed. The corporate capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the Chief Operating Decision Maker to determine whether the operating segment is providing the desired rate of return after covering our cost of capital.

We record charges on contract land deposits when we determine that it is probable that recovery of the deposit is impaired. For segment reporting purposes, impairments on contract land deposits are generally charged to the operating segment upon the termination of an LPA with the developer, or the restructuring of an LPA resulting in the forfeiture of the deposit. We evaluate our entire net contract land deposit portfolio for impairment each quarter. For presentation purposes below, the contract land deposit reserve at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 $6,900 and $8,100 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Mid Atlantic
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $76,400, or 78%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $208,600, or 25%, quarter over quarter. Segment revenues increased due to increases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price of 15% and 8%, respectively, quarter over quarter. The increases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price were attributable to a 23% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2021 compared to the backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 10% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The Mid Atlantic segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 22.5% in the second quarter of 2021 from 19.1% in the second quarter of 2020. Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by the increase in the average settlement price attributable to improved pricing power in prior quarters and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity quarter over quarter. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders decreased 12% while the average sales price of New Orders increased 21% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. New Orders were lower due primarily to a 19% decrease in average number of active communities in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders quarter over quarter was attributable to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
The Mid Atlantic segment had an approximate $123,800, or 69%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $370,700, or 23%, year over year. Segment revenues increased due to increases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price of 14% and 8%, respectively, year over year. The increases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price were attributable to a 24% higher backlog unit balance entering 2021 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 7% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The Mid Atlantic segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 21.5% in the first six months of 2021 from 18.9% in the first six months of 2020. Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by the increase in the average settlement price attributable to improved pricing power in prior quarters and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity year over year. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor year over year.
Segment New Orders decreased 1% while the average sales price of New Orders increased 17% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020. New Orders were negatively impacted primarily by a 17% decrease in average number of active communities in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in the average sales price of New Orders year over year was attributable to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power.
North East
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
The North East segment had an approximate $14,900, or 223%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020, due primarily to an increase in segment revenues of approximately $95,000, or 97%, quarter over quarter.

2021 compared to the backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2020, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 14% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage decreased to 18.7% in the second quarter of 2021 from 19.9% in the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor quarter over quarter, offset partially by improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increased settlement activity quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 7% and 33%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders were higher due to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power. Additionally, the average sales price of New Orders was favorably impacted by a shift in New Orders to higher priced markets within the segment quarter over quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
The North East segment had an approximate $19,900, or 119%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020.

The increase in the number of units settled was attributable to a 66% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2021 compared to the backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 6% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2021 compared to same period in 2020. The segment's gross profit margin percentage was relatively flat quarter over quarter as the increase in the average settlement price and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity were offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders decreased 14% while the average sales price of New Orders increased 19% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. New Orders were negatively impacted by an 11% decrease in the average number of active communities quarter over quarter. The average sales price of New Orders was higher due to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power.
28
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
The Mid East segment had an approximate $50,400, or 86%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $282,500, or 46%, year over year. Segment revenues increased due to increases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price of 38% and 5%, respectively, year over year. The increase in the number of units settled was attributable to a 59% higher backlog unit balance entering 2021 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 4% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 2021 compared to backlog entering 2020. The segment's gross profit margin percentage was relatively flat in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as the increase in the average settlement price and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity were offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor year over year.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders each increased 13% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020. New Orders were higher due primarily to strong sales in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, offset partially by the aforementioned 14% decrease in sales in the second quarter of 2021 due to the decrease in the average number of active communities in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020. The average sales price of New Orders was higher year over year due to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power.
South East
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
The South East segment had an approximate $36,200, or 85%, increase in segment profit in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase in segment profit was primarily driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $154,000, or 44%, quarter over quarter. The increase in revenues is attributable to a 40% increase in the number of units settled and a 3% increase in the average settlement price quarter over quarter. The increase in the number of units settled was attributable to a 49% higher backlog unit balance entering the second quarter 2021 compared to the backlog unit balance entering the second quarter of 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate quarter over quarter. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 7% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 22.4% in the second quarter of 2021 from 20.8% in the second quarter of 2020. Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by the increase in the average settlement price attributable to improved pricing power in prior quarters and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity quarter over quarter. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor quarter over quarter.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 6% and 22%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders were higher due to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
The South East segment had an approximate $45,700, or 51%, increase in segment profit in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020. The increase in segment profit was driven by an increase in segment revenues of approximately $239,600, or 34%, year over year. Segment revenues increased due to increases in the number of units settled and the average settlement price of 31% and 2%, respectively, year over year. The increase in the number of units settled was attributable to a 46% higher backlog unit balance entering 2021 compared to the backlog unit balance entering 2020, offset partially by a lower backlog turnover rate year over year. The increase in the average settlement price was primarily attributable to a 3% higher average sales price of units in backlog entering 2021 compared to backlog entering 2020. The segment’s gross profit margin percentage increased to 21.4% in the first six months of 2021 from 21.0% in the first six months of 2020. Gross profit margins were favorably impacted by the increase in the average settlement price attributable to improved pricing power in prior quarters and improved leveraging of certain operating costs attributable to the increase in settlement activity year over year. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher prices for lumber, certain other commodities and labor year over year.
Segment New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders increased 17% and 16%, respectively, in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020. New Orders and the average sales price of New Orders were higher due to favorable market conditions which, coupled with low housing inventory levels, drove demand and provided us pricing power.
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.

(3)The increase in the three and six month periods of 2021 relates primarily to the significant increase in lumber prices during the second half of 2020 through the first half of 2021. Our reportable segments' results include intercompany profits of our production facilities, which were negatively impacted by the increase in lumber costs. The increase in lumber costs related to homes not yet settled is reversed through the consolidation adjustment. As the homes currently in inventory are settled in subsequent quarters, our consolidated homebuilding margins will be negatively impacted by the higher lumber costs.

Mortgage Banking Segment
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
We conduct our mortgage banking activity through NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary. NVRM focuses exclusively on serving the homebuilding segment customer base. NVRM sells 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, 2021 and 2020:

Loan closing volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by approximately $420,700, or 37%, and $701,400, or 31%, from the same periods in 2020. The increase in loan closing volume during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to the 32% and 26% increases in the homebuilding segment’s number of units settled during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020.
Segment profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by approximately $24,700, or 157%, and $72,400, or 262%, from the same periods in 2020. These increases were primarily attributable to increases in mortgage banking fees of approximately $27,400 and $78,300, respectively, primarily due to increased mortgage volume in the first half of 2021 and the recovery in the mortgage markets from the disruptions in the first half of 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
32
Seasonality
We generally have higher New Order activity in the first half of the year and higher home settlements, revenue and net income in the second half of the year.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was 23.0% and 21.9%, respectively, compared to 21.8% and 8.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in the three and six month periods of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 is primarily attributable to the impact of the income tax benefit recognized related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises totaling $11,213 and $28,590 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $6,854 and $62,509 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
We expect to experience volatility in our effective tax rate in future quarters as the amount of the excess tax benefit from equity-based awards is dependent on our stock price when awards are exercised as well as on the timing of exercises, which historically has varied from quarter to quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We had a very strong liquidity position as of June 30, 2021, with approximately $2,600,000 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $288,000 in unused committed capacity under our revolving credit facility and $150,000 in unused committed capacity under our revolving mortgage repurchase facility.
Our homebuilding business segment funds its operations from cash flows provided by operating activities, a short-term unsecured working capital revolving credit facility and capital raised in the public debt and equity markets. Our mortgage banking subsidiary, NVRM, provides for its mortgage origination and other operating activities using cash generated from its operations, borrowings from its parent company, NVR, as well as a revolving mortgage repurchase facility.
Credit Agreement
Our unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $300,000. Under the Credit Agreement, we may request increases of up to $300,000 to the facility in the form of revolving loan commitments or term loans to the extent that new or existing lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan or term loan commitments. The Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit of which there was approximately $11,900 outstanding at June 30, 2021. The Credit Agreement termination date is February 12, 2026. There was no debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2021.
Repurchase Agreement
NVRM's revolving mortgage repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Agreement”) provides for aggregate borrowings up to $150,000 and is non-recourse to NVR. In July 2021, NVRM entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to the Repurchase Agreement, which extended the term of the Repurchase Agreement through July 20, 2022. All other terms and conditions under the amended Repurchase Agreement remained materially consistent. At June 30, 2021, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement. There was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at June 30, 2021.
For additional information regarding lines of credit and notes payable, see Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents decreased by $144,956. Cash provided by operating activities was $521,020. Cash was provided by earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2021, net proceeds of $212,649 from mortgage loan activity and a $124,685 increase in customer deposits due primarily to the increase in homebuilding backlog. Cash was primarily used to fund the increase in
33
homebuilding inventory of $264,291 due to an increase in the number of units under construction at June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $6,622, attributable primarily to cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $6,620.
Net cash used in financing activities was $659,354 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cash was used to repurchase 164,975 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $754,366 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed below. Cash was provided from stock option exercise proceeds totaling $95,673.
Equity Repurchases
In addition to funding growth in our homebuilding and mortgage banking operations, we historically have used a substantial portion of our excess liquidity to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock in open market and privately negotiated transactions. This ongoing repurchase activity is conducted pursuant to publicly announced Board authorizations, and is typically executed in accordance with the safe-harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, the Board resolutions authorizing us to repurchase shares of our common stock specifically prohibit us from purchasing shares from our officers, directors, Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan Trust or Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust. The repurchase program assists us in accomplishing our primary objective of creating increases in shareholder value. See Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of repurchase activity during the second quarter of 2021.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risks during the six months ended June 30, 2021. For additional information regarding our market risks, see Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
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.
34
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
We had two share repurchase authorizations outstanding during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. On December 14, 2020 and May 5, 2021, we publicly announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our outstanding common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions, up to an aggregate of $300,000 and $500,000 per authorization, respectively. The repurchase authorizations do not have expiration dates. We repurchased the following shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2021:

B.The Seller and the Buyers now desire to amend certain provisions of the Repurchase Agreement as set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the premises herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, all parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings specified in the Repurchase Agreement.
Section 2.Amendments. The Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
2.1.Definitions. Section 1.2 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding or amending and restating, as applicable, the following defined terms to read in their entireties as follows:
“Termination Date” means the earlier of (i) July 20, 2022, and (ii) the date when the Buyers’ Commitments are terminated pursuant to this Agreement, by order of any Governmental Authority or by operation of law.
2.2.Provisions Relating to LIBOR Rate. Section 6.7 of the Repurchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
6.7 Provisions Relating to LIBOR Rate. If Agent has determined that (a)(i) the administrator, or any relevant agency or authority for such administrator, of LIBOR (or any substitute index which replaces LIBOR (LIBOR or such replacement, the “Benchmark”)) has announced that such Benchmark will no longer be provided, (ii) any relevant agency or authority has announced that such Benchmark is no longer representative, or (iii) any similar circumstance exists such that such Benchmark has become unavailable or ceased to exist, or (b) similar loans are being documented with a replacement rate to such Benchmark, Agent will (x) replace such Benchmark with a replacement rate or (y) if any such circumstance applies to fewer than all tenors of such Benchmark used for determining an interest period hereunder, discontinue the availability of the affected interest periods. In the case of LIBOR, (a) for any advance hereunder where the rate is reset daily, such replacement rate will be Daily Simple SOFR, plus the adjustment described below, and (b) for any advance hereunder where the rate is reset at monthly or longer intervals, such replacement rate will be Term SOFR, plus the adjustment described below; provided that if Agent determines in its sole discretion that (i) Term SOFR is not available for the applicable advance at the time of such replacement or (ii) the administration of Term SOFR is not administratively feasible for Agent, then such replacement rate will be Daily Simple SOFR, plus the adjustment described below. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “SOFR” means the secured overnight financing rate which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board”) and available at www.newyorkfed.org; (b) “Term SOFR” means a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR and recommended by the Board; and (c) “Daily Simple SOFR” means a daily rate based on SOFR and determined by Agent in accordance with the conventions for such rate. In each case, Agent will add an adjustment to Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR that is selected or recommended by the Board. In connection with the selection and implementation of any such replacement rate, Agent may make any technical, administrative or operational changes that Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such replacement rate. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the case of a transition to Daily Simple SOFR, Agent will remove any option to select another rate that may change or is reset
2
on a daily basis, including, without limitation, Agent’s prime rate. Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for the administration or submission of, or any other matter related to, LIBOR or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation whether any such alternative, successor or replacement rate will have the same value as, or be economically equivalent to, LIBOR.
