RESTON, Va., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NVR, Inc. (NYSE: NVR), one of the nation's largest homebuilding and mortgage banking companies, announced net income for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025 of $299.6 million, or $94.83 per diluted share. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 decreased 24% and 19%, respectively, when compared to 2024 first quarter net income of $394.3 million, or $116.41 per diluted share. Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $2.40 billion, which increased 3% from $2.33 billion in the first quarter of 2024.
Homebuilding
New orders in the first quarter of 2025 decreased by 12% to 5,345 units, when compared to 6,049 units in the first quarter of 2024. The average sales price of new orders in the first quarter of 2025 was $448,500, a decrease of 1% when compared with the first quarter of 2024. The cancellation rate in the first quarter of 2025 was 16% compared to 13% in the first quarter of 2024. Settlements in the first quarter of 2025 increased by 1% to 5,133 units, compared to 5,089 units in the first quarter of 2024. The average settlement price in the first quarter of 2025 was $457,900, an increase of 2% from the first quarter of 2024. Our backlog of homes sold but not settled as of March 31, 2025 decreased on a unit basis by 9% to 10,165 units and decreased on a dollar basis by 7% to $4.84 billion when compared to the respective backlog unit and dollar balances as of March 31, 2024.
Homebuilding revenues of $2.35 billion in the first quarter of 2025 increased by 3% compared to homebuilding revenues of $2.29 billion in the first quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2025 decreased to 21.9%, compared to 24.5% in the first quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin was negatively impacted by higher lot costs and pricing pressure due to continued affordability challenges. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $369.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of 16% when compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Mortgage Banking
Mortgage closed loan production in the first quarter of 2025 totaled $1.43 billion, an increase of 4% when compared to the first quarter of 2024. Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment totaled $32.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 12% when compared to $29.0 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 25.5% compared to 16.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2025 is primarily attributable to a lower income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled $2.7 million and $43.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
