(NYSE: NVR), one of the nation's largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced net income for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024 of $400.9 million, 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 2023 second quarter net income of $404.0 million, or $116.54 per diluted share.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, consolidated revenues were $4.95 billion, a 10% increase from $4.52 billion reported for the same period of 2023. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $795.2 million, an increase of 6% when compared to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $748.4 million. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $237.05, an increase of 9% from $216.52 per diluted share for the same period of 2023.

Homebuilding

New orders in the second quarter of 2024 increased by 3% to 6,067 units, when compared to 5,905 units in the second quarter of 2023. The average sales price of new orders in the second quarter of 2024 was $458,800, an increase of 3% when compared with the second quarter of 2023. The cancellation rate in the second quarter of 2024 was 13% compared to 11% in the second quarter of 2023. Settlements in the second quarter of 2024 increased by 11% to 5,659 units, compared to 5,085 units in the second quarter of 2023. The average settlement price in the second quarter of 2024 was $450,200, which remained relatively flat when compared to the second quarter of 2023. Our backlog of homes sold but not settled as of June 30, 2024 increased on a unit basis by 3% to 11,597 units and increased on a dollar basis by 6% to $5.45 billion when compared to the respective backlog unit and dollar balances as of June 30, 2023.

Homebuilding revenues of $2.55 billion in the second quarter of 2024 increased by 12% compared to homebuilding revenues of $2.28 billion in the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2024 decreased to 23.6%, from 24.3% in the second quarter of 2023. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $488.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 12% when compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage closed loan production in the second quarter of 2024 totaled $1.53 billion, an increase of 11% when compared to the second quarter of 2023. Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment totaled $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 23% when compared to $36.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in secondary marketing gains on sales of loans.

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 each period is primarily attributable to a lower income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled $6.8 million and $50.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $55.9 million and $79.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
