Realogy Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

MADISON, N.J., July 30, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

"Realogy delivered substantial Operating EBITDA in the quarter as we made rapid moves to navigate through the turbulent environment," said Ryan Schneider, Realogy’s chief executive officer and president. "We continued to enhance our digital technology offerings, invest in strategic priorities, and improve our balance sheet. We believe that progress, combined with recent positive market data, positions us well for the future."

"We were agile and efficient throughout the second quarter and successfully managed costs, which helped generate substantial Operating EBITDA and positive Free Cash Flow in the quarter," said Charlotte Simonelli, Realogy’s executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "We took proactive steps to strengthen our Balance Sheet."

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights

  • Generated Revenue of $1.2 billion, a decrease of 27% or $457 million year-over-year.
  • Reported Net Income of $28 million from continuing operations and a Net Loss of $14 million including discontinued operations.
  • Generated Operating EBITDA from continuing operations of $172 million, a decrease of $63 million year-over-year driven by lower transaction volume primarily due to COVID-19, partially offset by cost savings and strong performance at the GRA mortgage JV. (See Table 5a).
  • Combined closed transaction volume declined 24% in the second quarter. Closed transaction volume improved meaningfully in June to negative 8% year-over-year after reaching a bottom in May 2020.
  • Delivered substantial cost reductions in the quarter due to mix of temporary and permanent savings.
  • The GRA mortgage JV continued to contribute meaningfully to our business results, generating $35 million in Operating EBITDA in the second quarter.
  • Generated Free Cash Flow from continuing operations of $106 million vs. $178 million for the corresponding quarter last year and $47 million including discontinued operations vs. $147 million for the corresponding quarter last year (See Table 7).
  • Strengthened the balance sheet and improved our debt maturity profile by refinancing our 2021 unsecured notes with new 2025 senior secured second lien notes.

*      not meaningful

1  See Tables 5a and 5b. Operating EBITDA is defined 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 including discontinued operations is defined as Operating EBITDA, as defined above plus the Operating EBITDA contribution from discontinued operations on the same basis.

2  See Table 1a. 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, the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments and net income (loss) from discontinued operations. Adjusted loss per share is Adjusted net loss divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.

See Table 7.  Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Realogy before income tax expense (benefit), net of 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 early extinguishment of debt and working capital adjustments. Free Cash Flow including discontinued operations is defined as Free Cash Flow, as defined above plus the Free Cash Flow contribution from discontinued operations on the same basis.

Includes all franchisees except for Realogy Brokerage Group.

The Company’s combined homesale transaction volume growth (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price) decreased 24% compared with the second quarter of 2019.

 

Cartus Relocation Services remained in discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2020 in accordance with GAAP. 

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $686 million.  Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $3.4 billion at June 30, 2020.  The Company’s Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 5.6x at June 30, 2020 (see Table 8b).

The Company expects to continue to prioritize investing in its business and reducing leverage over other potential uses of cash.

Improved Debt Maturity Profile in Second Quarter 2020

In June 2020, the Company redeemed its outstanding $550 million 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021 using the net proceeds from its issuance of $550 million 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025, together with cash on hand.  As a result, the Company’s nearest debt maturity is not until early 2023 (other than amortization payments under its senior secured credit facilities).

Amendments to Senior Secured Credit and Term Loan A Agreements

The Company’s senior secured leverage ratio at June 30, 2020 was 3.29x (see Table 8a), well within the 4.75 to 1 ratio required as of that date for it to maintain compliance under its secured credit facilities.  As an example of our continued commitment to proactively and prudently manage our balance sheet, we opportunistically amended our senior secured credit agreement and term loan A agreement on July 24, 2020. Under the amendments, Realogy must maintain a senior secured leverage ratio not to exceed 6.50 to 1.00 commencing with the third quarter of 2020 through and including the second quarter of 2021. The required ratio thereafter will step down on a quarterly basis to 4.75 to 1.00 (the level applicable prior to the amendments) on and after the second quarter of 2022.  Unless terminated earlier by us or pursuant to the terms of the amendments, certain negative covenants are tightened until we deliver our covenant compliance certificate to the lenders for the third quarter of 2021. The amendments leave unchanged the commitments and pricing under the agreements.

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

Any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results are forward-looking statements.

The following include some, but not all, of the factors that could affect our future results and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Additionally, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and will continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic: the extent, duration and severity of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic consequences stemming from the COVID-19 crisis (including a potential significant economic contraction) as well as related risks and the impact of any of the foregoing on our business, results of operations and liquidity; adverse developments or the absence of sustained improvement in general business, economic or political conditions or the U.S. residential real estate markets, either regionally or nationally, including but not limited to a decline in consumer confidence or spending, weak capital, credit and financial markets and/or the instability of financial institutions, economic stagnation or contraction in the U.S. economy, including the impact of recessions, slow economic growth, or a deterioration in other economic factors (including potential consumer, business or governmental defaults or delinquencies due to the COVID-19 crisis or otherwise), continued or accelerated declines in home inventory levels, increased levels of unemployment and/or declining wages or stagnant wage growth in the U.S., an increase in potential homebuyers with low credit ratings, inability to afford down payments, or other mortgage challenges due to disrupted earnings, including constraints on the availability of mortgage financing, an increase in foreclosure activity, a decline or lack of improvement in the number of homesales, stagnant or declining home prices, a reduction in the affordability of housing, a lack of improvement or deceleration in the building of new housing, the potential negative impact of certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "2017 Tax Act") on home values over time in states with high property, sales and state and local income taxes or on homeownership rates, and/or geopolitical and economic instability; risks associated with our substantial indebtedness, interest obligations and the restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including risks relating to our ability to comply with the financial covenant under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility and generate sufficient cash flows to service our debt (in particular if the COVID-19 crisis continues for a prolonged period) as well as risks relating to our having to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flows from operations to service our debt and our ability to refinance or repay our indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness; risks related to disruptions in the securitization markets, including in connection with the COVID-19 crisis, which may adversely impact our ability to continue to securitize certain of the relocation assets of Cartus Relocation Services or increase our cost of funding; 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; 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 inability to develop products, technology and programs (including our company-directed affinity programs) that support our business strategy; 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; increases in uncollectible accounts receivable and note reserves as a result of the adverse financial effects of the COVID-19 crisis on our franchisees and relocation clients; 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 downstream revenue); the loss of our next largest affinity client or multiple significant relocation clients; risks related to our ongoing litigation with affiliates of Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC and SIRVA Worldwide, Inc. regarding the planned sale of Cartus Relocation Services, including that such transaction will not close; changes in corporate relocation practices resulting in fewer employee relocations, reduced relocation benefits and/or increasing competition in corporate relocation; 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 (including pressures for lower brokerage commission rates), the actions of certain competitors, the introduction or growth of certain competitive models, changes to the rules of the multiple listing services, or otherwise; 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 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.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

ADJUSTED NET INCOME (LOSS) AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

(In millions, except per share data)

We present Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) 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 (income) loss from discontinued operations.  The gross amounts for these items as well as the adjustment for income taxes are shown in the table below. 

Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.

Set forth in the table below is a reconciliation of Net (loss) income to Adjusted net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION – SENIOR SECURED LEVERAGE RATIO

FOR THE FOUR-QUARTER PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2020

(In millions)

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 four quarters 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 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes, our 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 retention and disposition costs, 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 trailing four-quarter period.  The Company was in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant at June 30, 2020 with a ratio of 3.29 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 four-quarter period ended June 30, 2020 is set forth in the following table:

(a)  Net loss attributable to Realogy consists of: (i) loss of $113 million for the third quarter of 2019, (ii) loss of $45 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, (iii) loss of $462 million for the first quarter of 2020 and (iv) loss of $14 million for the second quarter of 2020.

(b)  Consists of Operating EBITDA including discontinued operations of: (i) $223 million for the third quarter of 2019, (ii) $126 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, (iii) $32 million for the first quarter of 2020 and (iv) $175 million for the second quarter of 2020.

(c)  Represents the Operating EBITDA for Cartus Relocation.  If the Operating EBITDA of Cartus Relocation were to be included in EBITDA as defined by the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio would improve to 3.18x from 3.29x.

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

(e)  Represents the elimination of non-cash expenses including $24 million of stock-based compensation expense and $5 million for the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes reserves for the four-quarter period ended June 30, 2020.

(f)  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 July 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 July 1, 2019.

(g)  Represents total borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities (including the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan B Facility) and Term Loan A Facility and borrowings secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $2,571 million plus $34 million of finance lease obligations less $579 million of readily available cash as of June 30, 2020.  Pursuant to the terms of our senior secured credit facilities, total senior secured net debt does not include our securitization obligations, 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes or unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured 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, as amended from time to time.  Our Senior Secured Second Lien Notes include our 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025.  Our Unsecured Notes include our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 and our 9.375% Senior Notes due 2027.

Table 9                                      

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.

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.
