ANYWHERE REAL ESTATE INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

MADISON, N.J., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS) (“Anywhere” or the “Company”), a global leader in residential real estate services, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“Anywhere leveraged our distinct advantages to deliver strong results in the quarter, accelerating our transformation and building our future financial octane,” said Ryan Schneider, Anywhere president and CEO. “Our strategic strengths and profitability set Anywhere apart, along with our great affiliated agents, franchisees, and employees who continue to deliver great value to consumers.”

“The Anywhere second quarter financials demonstrate our continued resiliency with volume growth, strong profitability and solid free cash flow generation,” said Charlotte Simonelli, Anywhere executive vice president, chief financial officer, and treasurer. “We believe our unique strengths and continued holistic financial discipline drive differentiated performance versus our competition and will enable Anywhere to emerge even stronger when the housing market improves.”

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Generated Revenue of $1.7 billion, essentially flat year-over-year, with increases in combined homesale transaction volume offset by softness in relocation revenue.
  • Combined closed transaction volume increased 3% year-over-year in the second quarter with units down about 5% and price up 8%. This is the second consecutive quarter of transaction volume increases.
  • Our strength in luxury continued as our Corcoran and Sotheby’s International Realty brands meaningfully outperforming the market, including having positive year-over-year unit growth.
  • Reported Net Income of $30 million increased $11 million and Adjusted Net Income of $37 million increased $10 million versus 2023 (See Table 1a).
  • Operating EBITDA of $139 million, a $13 million improvement year-over-year (See Table 5a).
  • Realized cost savings of approximately $30 million.
  • Full year cost savings now expected to be $120 million an increase of $20 million.
  • Commission splits in the second quarter were up 40 basis points year-over-year to 80.5%, continuing the seven-quarter trend of more stable splits.
  • Free Cash Flow of $63 million versus $105 million for the corresponding quarter last year (See Table 7). Free Cash Flow was $83 million in the second quarter excluding the $20 million paid for a portion of the sell-side antitrust litigation settlement.
  • Anywhere received final court approval for our nationwide settlement in the sell side antitrust class action cases in the quarter and is well-positioned for success with resources and support for affiliated agents and franchisees as we approach upcoming industry practice changes.

Footnotes:

1Ā  See Table 5a for a reconciliation of Net income attributable to Anywhere to Operating EBITDA. Operating EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (excluding relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes, and certain non-core items. Non-core items include restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, and gains or losses on discontinued operations or the sale of businesses, investments or other assets.

2Ā  See Table 1a for a reconciliation of Net income attributable to Anywhere to Adjusted net income. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) before mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, former parent legacy items, restructuring charges, (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets and the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments.

3Ā  See Table 7 for a reconciliation of Net income attributable to Anywhere to Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Anywhere before income tax expense (benefit), income tax payments, net interest expense, cash interest payments, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefits), net of payments, impairments, (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capital adjustments and relocation receivables (assets), net of change in securitization obligations.

4Ā Ā Includes all franchisees except for Owned Brokerage Group.

5Ā  In the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s combined homesale transaction volume (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price) increased 3% compared with the second quarter of 2023.

2024 Financial Estimates

The Company is increasing the amount it expects to realize in cost savings by $20 million to $120 million in 2024.

The Company expects its Free Cash Flow excluding one-time items to be approximately $100 million in 2024. The one-time items are now estimated to be approximately $60 million, and consist of a $20 million payment towards our antitrust litigation settlement and approximately $40 million for a 1999Ā Cendant legacy tax matter. We previously estimated one time items at over $100 million for 2024.

The antitrust litigation settlement totaled $83.5 million, $10 million of which was paid in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $20 million of which was paid in the second quarter of 2024. The remaining $53.5 million will be due when appeals are resolved, the timing of which is uncertain and which we have assumed will not occur in 2024.

The approximately $40 million 1999 Cendant legacy tax matter will be due once statutory notice is received, which we have assumed will occur in 2024.

For further discussion of these matters, see our SEC periodic reports, including the Form 10-Q we filed this morning.

These estimates are subject to, among other things, macroeconomic and housing market uncertainties, including those related to rising inflation, declining affordability and constrained inventory as well as competitive, litigation and regulatory uncertainties. In addition, our free cash flow estimates do not include any potential financial impact relating to the implementation of industry settlement practice changes, which remain uncertain.

Balance Sheet

Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $2.6 billion at JuneĀ 30, 2024. The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $128 million. The Company’s Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.57x at JuneĀ 30, 2024 (see Table 8a). The Company’s Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 7.8x at JuneĀ 30, 2024 (see Table 8b).

As of JulyĀ 30, 2024 the Company had $400 million of outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.

A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

Consideration should be given to the areas of risk described above, as well as those risks set forth under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Summary of Risk Factors,” “Risk Factors” and “Legal Proceedings” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and our other filings made from time to time, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our businesses generally. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required byĀ SECĀ rules, important information regarding such measures is contained in the Tables attached to this release. See Tables 8a, 8b and 9 for definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and Tables 1a, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, 8a and 8b for reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP terms.

A reconciliation of the Company’s estimate of full-year Free Cash Flow excluding one-time items, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to Net income attributable to Anywhere is not provided because of the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the items that would be necessary for such reconciliation. The Company also believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to provide a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on GAAP results.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION – SENIOR SECURED LEVERAGE RATIO

FOR THE FOUR-QUARTER PERIOD ENDED JUNEĀ 30, 2024

(In millions)

The senior secured leverage ratio is tested quarterly pursuant to the terms of the senior secured credit facilities*. For the trailing four-quarter period ended JuneĀ 30,
2024, Anywhere Real Estate Group LLC (“Anywhere Group”) was required to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio not to exceed 4.75 to 1.00. The senior secured
leverage ratio is measured by dividing Anywhere Group’s total senior secured net debt by the trailing four-quarter EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those
terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Total senior secured net debt does not include the 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes*, our
unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes* and Exchangeable Senior Notes*, or the securitization obligations. EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis,
as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, includes the bank adjustments set forth below. The Company was in compliance with the senior secured leverage
ratio covenant at JuneĀ 30, 2024 with a ratio of 1.57x to 1.00.

A reconciliation of Net loss attributable to Anywhere Group to EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit
Agreement, for the four-quarter period ended JuneĀ 30, 2024 is set forth in the following table:

(a)

Net loss attributable to Anywhere Group consists of: (i) income of $129 million for the third quarter of 2023, (ii) loss of $107 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, (iii) loss of $101 million for the first quarter of 2024 and (iv) income of $30 million for the second quarter of 2024.

(b)

Represents the four-quarter pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives.

(c)

Represents non-cash long term incentive compensation charges, other non-cash charges and extraordinary, nonrecurring or unusual litigation charges.

(d)

Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and franchise sales activity, net of brokerages that exited our franchise system, as if these changes had occurred at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. Franchisee sales activity is comprised of new franchise agreements as well as growth through acquisitions and independent sales agent recruitment by existing franchisees with our assistance. We have made a number of assumptions in calculating such estimates and there can be no assurance that we would have generated the projected levels of Operating EBITDA had we owned the acquired entities or entered into the franchise contracts as of the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period.

(e)

Incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization facilities refinancing for the four-quarter period ended JuneĀ 30, 2024.

(f)

Represents total borrowings secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $606 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility plus $19 million of finance lease obligations less $107 million of readily available cash as of June 30, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of our senior secured credit facilities, total senior secured net debt does not include our securitization obligations, 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes or unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes and Exchangeable Senior Notes.

*

Our senior secured credit facilities include the facilities under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 5, 2013, as amended from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), and the Term Loan A Agreement dated as of October 23, 2015 (the “Term Loan A Agreement”), as amended from time to time. Our Senior Secured Second Lien Notes include our 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due in 2030. Our Unsecured Notes include our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2029 and 5.25% Senior Notes due 2030. Exchangeable Senior Notes refers to our 0.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026.

Table 9

Non-GAAP Definitions

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before: (a) mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments; (b) former parent legacy items, which pertain to liabilities of the former parent for matters prior to mid-2006 and are non-operational in nature; (c) restructuring charges as a result of initiatives currently in progress; (d) impairments; (e) the (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt that results from refinancing and deleveraging debt initiatives; (f) the (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets and (g) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. We present Adjusted net income (loss) because we believe this measure is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our operating results.

Operating EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (excluding relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes, and certain non-core items. Non-core items include restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, and gains or losses on discontinued operations or the sale of businesses, investments or other assets. Operating EBITDA is our primary non-GAAP measure. Operating EBITDA Margin is defined as Operating EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.

We present Operating EBITDA because we believe it is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our results of operations. Our management, including our chief operating decision maker, uses Operating EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of our business. Operating 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 Operating EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net interest expense), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the amortization of intangibles, as well as other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, former parent legacy items, impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. We further believe that Operating EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Operating EBITDA measure when reporting their results.

Operating EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider Operating EBITDA either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • this measure does not reflect changes in, or cash required for, our working capital needs;
  • this measure does 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;
  • this measure does not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
  • this measure does 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 this measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
  • other companies may calculate this measure differently so they may not be comparable.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Anywhere before income tax expense (benefit), income tax payments, interest expense, net, cash interest payments, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefits), net of payments, impairments, (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capitalĀ adjustments and relocation receivables (assets), net of change in securitization obligations. We use Free Cash Flow in our internal evaluation of operating effectiveness and decisions regarding the allocation of resources, as well as measuring the Company’s ability to generate cash. Since Free Cash Flow can be viewed as both a performance measure and a cash flow measure, the Company has provided a reconciliation to both net income attributable to Anywhere and net cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow is 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 or liquidity. Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
