REALOGY REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR FIRST QUARTER 2015
Residential Real Estate Leader Reports Revenue of $1.1 Billion, a 5% Increase Year-over-Year
Q1 Homesale Transaction Volume Increases 10% Year-over-Year
MADISON, N.J. (May 4, 2015) - Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), a global leader in residential real estate franchising and prominent provider of real estate brokerage, relocation, and title and settlement services, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, including the following highlights:
• | Revenue of $1.1 billion, which represents a 5% increase compared to first quarter 2014, was driven by higher homesale transaction volume. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $70 million, compared to $53 million in the first quarter of 2014, a year-over-year increase of 32%. |
• | Net loss for first quarter 2015 was $32 million, and basic loss per share was $0.22. |
• | Realogy's franchise (RFG) and company-owned (NRT) business segments achieved a 10% increase in combined homesale transaction volume (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price) compared to first quarter 2014. RFG and NRT reported homesale transactions increases of 4% and 6% and average homesale price increases of 6% and 3%, respectively. |
"With 10% home sale volume growth, the first quarter was stronger than the 5% to 9% range we anticipated," said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chairman, chief executive officer and president. "The increases we saw in homesale transaction sides and average sale price in March, along with the strength of the sales contracts opened in March and April, are indicating a healthy spring selling season for the existing homesale market."
Smith continued: "Operationally, the first quarter momentum has carried over into the second quarter with NRT's acquisition of Coldwell Banker United, Realtors. We expect it to be an immediately accretive acquisition that geographically strengthens NRT's presence in Florida and Texas, expands into new markets in the Carolinas and now connects its Eastern Seaboard presence contiguously from Maine to Florida."
"Looking ahead at the second quarter of 2015, we expect to see homesale transaction volume gains in the range of 8% to 11% year-over-year on a company-wide basis," said Anthony E. Hull, executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "Based on our closed and open sales activity in March and April, we expect second quarter homesale transaction sides to be up 5% to 7% year-over-year and average sale price to increase 3% to 4% for RFG and NRT combined."
Hull continued: "Traditionally, the first quarter is our weakest due to the seasonality of residential real estate and represents our lowest share of the year for transaction volume, revenue and EBITDA. We also have historically reported a net loss in the first quarter as the period EBITDA is not sufficient to offset interest expense, depreciation and amortization which are reflected on a straight line basis throughout the year. As the spring selling season unfolds, we expect our aggregate number of homesale transaction sides to increase sequentially from approximately 272,000 in the first quarter of 2015 to between 400,000 and 408,000 in the second quarter."

Non-GAAP Definitions
EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a twelve-month period is presented to demonstrate our compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant in the senior secured credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a twelve-month period corresponds to the definition of "EBITDA," calculated on a "pro forma basis," used in the senior secured credit facility to calculate the senior secured leverage ratio. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to EBITDA for restructuring costs, former parent legacy cost (benefit) items, net, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, non-cash charges, non-recurring fair value adjustments for purchase accounting, fees for secondary equity offerings and incremental securitization interest costs, as well as pro forma cost savings for restructuring initiatives, the pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives and the pro forma effect of acquisitions and new franchisees, in each case calculated as of the beginning of the twelve-month period. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a three-month period adjusts for the same items as for a twelve-month period, except that the pro forma effect of cost savings, business optimizations and acquisitions and new franchisees are calculated as of the beginning of the three-month period instead of the twelve-month period.
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. Our management, including our chief operating decision maker, uses EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We believe EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the amortization of intangibles, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. We further believe that EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an EBITDA measure when reporting their results.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
• | these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash required for, our working capital needs; |
• | these measures do not reflect our interest expense (except for interest related to our securitization obligations), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
• | these measures do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; |
• | these measures do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
• | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
• | other companies may calculate these measures differently so they may not be comparable. |
In addition to the limitations described above, Adjusted EBITDA includes pro forma cost savings, the pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives and the pro forma full period effect of acquisitions and new franchisees. These adjustments may not reflect the actual cost savings or pro forma effect recognized in future periods.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Realogy before income tax expense (benefit), net of payments, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefits), net of payments, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capital adjustments and relocation assets, net of change in securitization obligations. Cash Earnings Per Share is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. We use Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share in our internal evaluation of operating effectiveness and decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities or other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
