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, 2026, we had approximately $1,100,000 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $287,200 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. Our Senior Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal balance of $900,000 and mature in May 2030. Future interest payments on our outstanding Senior Notes total $104,550, with $27,000 due within the next twelve months.
(ii) Payment obligations totaling approximately $737,500 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 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.

Table of Contents
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 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 144,896 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $989,733. As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $1,059,864 available under Board approved repurchase authorizations.
Capital Resources
Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2026, we had Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $900,000, which mature in May 2030.
Credit Agreement
We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $300,000, and a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit of which there was approximately $12,800 outstanding as of June 30, 2026. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2026.
Repurchase Agreement
NVRM has an unsecured revolving mortgage repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Agreement”) which provides for aggregate borrowings up to $150,000. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement as of June 30, 2026,
For additional information regarding the Senior Notes, Credit Agreement and Repurchase Agreement, see Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, and Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents decreased by $759,622. Net cash provided by operating activities was $188,156, due primarily to cash provided by earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and a $176,022 reduction in mortgage loans held for sale. In addition, $49,200 of cash was provided by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses attributable to an increase in inventory and $45,488 of cash was provided by an increase in customer deposits. Cash was primarily used to fund the increase in inventory of $511,729, attributable to an increase in units under construction as of June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025, and an increase of $106,509 in contract land deposits.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $3,916, due primarily to cash provided by the sale of our interest in an unconsolidated joint venture of $21,559. Cash was used primarily for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $6,911 and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $11,023.
Net cash used in financing activities was $951,694 for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Cash was used to repurchase 144,896 shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $989,733 under our ongoing common stock repurchase program, discussed above. Cash was provided from stock option exercise proceeds totaling $56,784.

Overview
Business Environment and Current Outlook
Demand for new homes continues to be negatively impacted by affordability issues, high home inventory levels in certain markets, declining consumer confidence and economic volatility. As a result of this weak demand environment in the second half of 2025, we repositioned many communities to better compete for a reduced number of buyers. We expect these adjustments to have a materially negative impact on our gross margins during the first half of 2026 as the homes in our backlog settle. We also expect a significant decline in revenues in the first quarter of 2026 due to weak orders in the third quarter of 2025 and strong fourth quarter 2025 backlog turnover.
We expect this weak demand environment may continue to weigh on home sales, home prices and gross margins during 2026. 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, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky |
Our lot acquisition strategy is predicated upon avoiding the financial 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 lots from various third-party land developers pursuant to 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 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 of our finished lot inventory using LPAs with forfeitable deposits.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2025, we controlled approximately 180,100 lots as described below.
Lot Purchase Agreements ("LPAs")
We controlled approximately 169,250 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $920,100 and $4,600, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 18,200 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment allowance of approximately $111,000 as of December 31, 2025.
Joint Venture Limited Liability Corporations (“JVs”)
We had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $78,100 in five JVs, expected to produce approximately 8,900 lots. Of the lots to be produced by the JVs, approximately 8,550 lots were controlled by us and approximately 350 lots were either under contract with unrelated parties or currently not under contract. We had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $34,100 to three of the JVs as of December 31, 2025.
Land Under Development
We owned land with a carrying value of approximately $39,300 that we expect to be developed into approximately 2,300 finished lots.
See Notes 3, 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding LPAs, JVs and land under development, respectively.
Raw Land Purchase Agreements
In addition to the lots we currently control as discussed above, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 38,200 lots. Some of these properties may require rezoning or other approvals to achieve the expected yield. These properties are controlled with cash deposits totaling approximately $42,300 as of December 31, 2025, of which approximately $9,000 is refundable if we do not perform under the contract. 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.

Consolidated Homebuilding
Homebuilding revenues decreased 2% in 2025 compared to 2024, as a result of a 4% decrease in the number of units settled. The decrease in the number of units settled was primarily attributable to a 3% lower backlog unit balance entering 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, coupled with an 11% decrease in new orders in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Gross profit margin percentage in 2025 decreased to 21.2% from 23.7% in 2024. Gross profit margins were negatively impacted by higher lot costs, pricing pressure due to continued affordability challenges and contract land deposit impairments totaling approximately $75,900 in 2025.
The number of New Orders decreased 10% in 2025 compared to 2024. New Orders were negatively impacted by an 11% lower sales absorption, due to weaker demand.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in 2025 were relatively flat when compared to 2024. While overall SG&A expenses were relatively flat, sales and marketing, office, legal and insurance expenses were all modestly higher year over year. These increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $36,100 in incentive compensation costs year over year due to weaker company performance.
Our backlog represents homes sold but not yet settled with our customers. As of December 31, 2025, our backlog decreased on a unit basis by 15% to 8,448 units, and decreased on a dollar basis by 16% to $4,008,043 when compared to 9,953 units and $4,791,870, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in backlog units was attributable to a 10% decrease in New Orders year over year, coupled with a higher backlog turnover rate in 2025. Backlog dollars were lower primarily due to the decrease in backlog units in 2025.
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. Our cancellation rate was approximately 17%, 14% and 13% in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, calculated as the total of all cancellations during the period as a percentage of gross sales during the same period. During the four quarters of each of 2025, 2024, and 2023, approximately 6%, 5% and 4% of a reporting quarter’s opening backlog, respectively, cancelled during the quarter. We can provide no assurance that our historical cancellation rates are indicativ
