MADISON, N.J., Feb. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), the largest full-service residential real estate services company in the United States, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.
"In 2019 we accelerated our efforts to support and grow Realogy’s affiliated agents and franchisees, delivering new products and partnerships to enhance our value proposition, generate high-quality leads, and enhance the consumer experience," said Ryan Schneider, Realogy’s chief executive officer and president. "Our industry leading foundation – substantial size and scale, strong brands, deep technology and data access, and solid financial engine – combined with our 2019 accomplishments, a more rational competitive environment late in the year, and improving housing market, continue to drive my excitement for Realogy in the year ahead."
"The fourth quarter marked a strong close to Realogy’s year, driven by solid performance, both financially and operationally, across the business," said Charlotte Simonelli, Realogy’s executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "In 2019, we demonstrated a willingness to change our business mix to optimize our capital deployment and simplify our company, and we will remain thoughtful and deliberate in our approach as we work to build a stronger overall financial profile for Realogy."
On November 7, 2019, the Company announced an agreement to sell its global employee relocation business, which we refer to as "Cartus Relocation Services" and, accordingly, this business is now reported as discontinued operations. The sale does not include "Realogy Leads Group" – the Company’s affinity and broker-to-broker businesses as well as its broker network. We have noted in this release those non-GAAP metrics that include discontinued operations. The transaction is expected to close in the next couple of months, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions.
Fourth Quarter 2019 Highlights
- Generated Revenue of $1.3 billion, an increase of 4% year over year.
- Delivered 6% transaction volume growth with solidly positive growth across both our owned and franchise businesses.
- Reported a Net loss of $45 million, driven by the fair value adjustment on the assets being sold as well as tax expense associated with the tax gain on the relocation sale.
- Generated Operating EBITDA including discontinued operations of $126 million, an increase of 19% year- over-year (See Table 4a).
- Achieved approximately $30 million of realized cost savings.
- Delivered Operating EBITDA margin improvement at Realogy.
- Generated Free Cash Flow including discontinued operations of $77 million (See Table 6).
Full Year 2019 Highlights
- Generated Revenue of $5.6 billion, a decrease of 3% year over year.
- Reported a Net loss of $188 million due predominately to the impairment charge taken in third quarter of 2019, the tax expense associated with the tax gain on the relocation sale, and higher interest expense.
- Generated Operating EBITDA including discontinued operations of $590 million (See Table 4b).
- Generated Free Cash Flow including discontinued operations of $226 million (See Table 6).
- Reduced net debt by $78 million from December 31, 2018 (See Table 7b).
- Grew the Realogy Brokerage Group (formerly NRT) agent base by approximately 4% year-over-year to 52,200.
- Commission split pressure continued to moderate versus 2018 and 2017.
- Substantially enhanced our value proposition with new marketing, tech and data, and consumer products as well as new lead generation programs and partnerships.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
The Company ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $235 million. Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $3.3 billion at December 31, 2019. The Company’s Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 5.2 times at December 31, 2019. The Net Debt Leverage Ratio is net corporate debt divided by EBITDA, as defined by the Senior Secured Credit Facility, for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2019. Earnings from Cartus Relocation Services have been excluded from EBITDA, as defined by the Senior Secured Credit Facility, ahead of the receipt of sale proceeds. Including earnings from the relocation business of $28 million, the Company’s Net Debt Leverage Ratio would have been 5.0x.
In November 2019, the Company announced the sale of Cartus Relocation Services for an initial cash payment of $375 million, subject to closing adjustments, plus a $25 million deferred cash payment. The Company intends to use a substantial portion of the net sale proceeds to pay down debt.
The Company expects to prioritize investing in its business and reducing leverage over other potential uses of cash.
A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

the impact of increased competition in the industry for clients, for the affiliation of independent sales agents and for the affiliation of franchisees on our results of operations and market share; the impact of disruption in the residential real estate brokerage industry, and on our results of operations and financial condition, as a result of listing aggregator concentration and market power; our ability to develop products, technology and programs (including our company-directed affinity programs) that supports our business strategy; continuing pressure on the share of gross commission income paid by our company owned brokerages and affiliated franchisees to affiliated independent sales agents and sales agent teams; our geographic and high-end market concentration; our inability to enter into franchise agreements with new franchisees or renew existing franchise agreements without reducing contractual royalty rates or increasing the amount and prevalence of sales incentives; the lack of revenue growth or declining profitability of our franchisees and company owned brokerage operations or declines in other revenue streams, such as third-party listing fees; the potential impact of negative industry or business trends (including further declines in our market capitalization) on our valuation of goodwill and intangibles; the extent of the negative impact of the discontinuation of the USAA affinity program on our revenues and profits derived from affinity program referrals (including revenue to Realogy Leads, Realogy Brokerage, Realogy Franchise and Realogy Title Groups); the loss of our next largest affinity client; risks related to the planned sale of Cartus Relocation Services, including with respect to expected timing, anticipated benefits and the financial impact to our business; an increase in the experienced claims losses of our title underwriter; our failure or alleged failure to comply with laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations and any changes or stricter interpretations of any of the foregoing (whether through private litigation or governmental action), including but not limited to (i) state or federal employment laws or regulations that would require reclassification of independent contractor sales agents to employee status, (ii) privacy or data security laws and regulations, (iii) the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) or other federal or state consumer protection or similar laws and (iv) antitrust laws and regulations; risks related to the impact on our operations and financial results that may be caused by any future meaningful changes in industry operations or structure as a result of governmental pressures, the actions of certain competitors, the introduction or growth of certain competitive models, changes to the rules of the multiple listing services, or otherwise; risks relating to our ability to return capital to stockholders including, among other risks, the impact of restrictions contained in our debt agreements, in particular the indenture governing our 9.375% Senior Notes due 2027; risks associated with our substantial indebtedness and interest obligations and restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including risks relating to having to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flows from operations to service our debt and risks relating to our ability to refinance or repay our indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness; and risks and growing costs related to both cybersecurity threats to our data and customer, franchisee, employee and independent sales agent data, as well as those related to our compliance with the growing number of laws, regulations and other requirements related to the protection of personal information.
Consideration should be given to the areas of risk described above, as well as those risks set forth under the headings "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, 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 present Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share because we believe these measures are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our operating results. |
|||||||||||||||
|
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before: (a) mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, whose fair value is subject to movements in LIBOR and the forward yield curve and therefore are subject to significant fluctuations; (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) the (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt that results from refinancing and deleveraging debt initiatives; (e) impairments; (f) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments and (g) net loss from discontinued operations. The gross amounts for these items as well as the adjustment for income taxes are shown in the table below. We revised our definition of this metric in the fourth quarter of 2019 to adjust for "net income (loss) from discontinued operations" to facilitate comparison of the results of our ongoing operations. |
|||||||||||||||
|
Adjusted earnings per share is Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding. |
|||||||||||||||
|
Set forth in the table below is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted net income for the three-month periods and years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018: |

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION – SENIOR SECURED LEVERAGE RATIO |
|||
|
The senior secured leverage ratio is tested quarterly and may not exceed 4.75 to 1.00 pursuant to the terms of the senior secured credit facilities*. The senior secured leverage ratio is measured by dividing Realogy Group LLC’s total senior secured net debt by the trailing twelve-month 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 unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes*, or the securitization obligations. EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, includes adjustments to Operating EBITDA for non-cash charges 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. The Company was in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant at December 31, 2019 with a ratio of 3.03 to 1.00. |
|||
|
A reconciliation of net loss attributable to Realogy Group to Operating EBITDA including discontinued operations and EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 is set forth in the following table: |

|||
|
(b) Consists of Operating EBITDA including discontinued operations of: (i) negative $4 million for the first quarter of 2019, (ii) $245 million for the second quarter of 2019, (iii) $223 million for the third quarter of 2019 and (iv) $126 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. |
|||
|
(c) Represents the twelve month pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives. |
|||
|
(d) Represents the elimination of non-cash expenses including $28 million of stock-based compensation expense and $2 million for the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. |
|||
|
(e) Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and franchise sales activity, net of brokerages that exited our franchise system as if these changes had occurred on January 1, 2019. 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 January 1, 2019. |
|||
|
(f) Represents total borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities and borrowings secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $1,965 million plus $35 million of finance lease obligations less $105 million of readily available cash as of December 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of our senior secured credit facilities, total senior secured net debt does not include our securitization obligations or unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes. |
|||
|
* Our senior secured credit facilities include the 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, as amended from time to time. Our Unsecured Notes include our 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021, our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 and our 9.375% Senior Notes due 2027. |

Table 8
Non-GAAP Definitions
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, former parent legacy items, restructuring charges, the (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments and net income (loss) from discontinued operations. The gross amounts for these items as well as the adjustment for income taxes are presented. We revised our definition of this metric in the fourth quarter of 2019 to adjust for "net income (loss) from discontinued operations" to facilitate comparison of the results of our ongoing operations.
Operating EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of investments or other assets. Operating EBITDA is our primary non-GAAP measure.
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 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.
Operating EBITDA including discontinued operations includes Operating EBITDA, as defined above plus the Operating EBITDA contribution from discontinued operations on the same basis.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Realogy before income tax expense (benefit), net of 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 early extinguishment of debt and working capital adjustments. Free Cash Flow including discontinued operations includes Free Cash Flow, as defined above plus the Free Cash Flow contribution from discontinued operations on the same basis. 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 Realogy Holdings 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.
We present Operating EBITDA including discontinued operations and Free Cash Flow including discontinued operations to facilitate period over period results, however, these non-GAAP terms are subject to the same limitations noted above for Operating EBITDA and Free Cash Flow and, in addition, include the add-back of earnings and cash from discontinued operations, which is not indicative of the results of our continuing operations.
