Realogy Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2013

MADISON, NJ--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2013) - Realogy Holdings Corp. ( NYSE : RLGY ), a global leader in residential real estate franchising and provider of real estate brokerage, relocation, and title and settlement services, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, including the following:

  • Realogy's net revenue for second quarter 2013 was $1.53 billion, a 17% increase compared to the same period in 2012.
  • The Company's Adjusted EBITDA 1 was $278 million in the second quarter, an increase of 27% year-over-year.
  • Net income attributable to the Company in the second quarter was $84 million, an improvement of $109 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. Net income includes $67 million of interest expense, $44 million of depreciation and amortization, $43 million of debt extinguishment charges and $26 million of compensation expense relating to the April 2013 issuance of common stock under the phantom value plan.
  • Basic earnings per share for the quarter was $0.58, or, excluding the loss on early extinguishment of debt and phantom value plan compensation expense, would have been $1.05.
  • The Company also retired $330 million of high cost debt and refinanced $492 million of 11.5% debt with $500 million of 3.375% debt, reducing its annual cash interest run rate to approximately $255 million per year.

"The material improvement in our second quarter financial results is largely attributable to the strength of our business model, the strong performance of management, a dramatically improved balance sheet with a corresponding material reduction in interest expense, and a housing market recovery that is showing resiliency," said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chairman, chief executive officer and president.

The Company's combined transaction volume increased 21% during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year. The Realogy Franchise Group (RFG), our franchise segment, and NRT, the operator of our company-owned brokerage offices, reported closed homesale transaction side gains of 10% and 12%, respectively. Average homesale price improved 10% at RFG and 7% at NRT compared with the second quarter of 2012. NRT's average home price is generally twice the national average.

In our relocation business, while second quarter revenue was essentially flat, Cartus experienced a 19% increase in broker referrals and a 5% year-over-year increase in initiations compared with 2012. In our title and settlement services segment, Title Resource Group (TRG) experienced a 14% increase in purchase title and closing units compared to the second quarter of 2012 and a 30% increase in refinance title and closing units. 

"Recently, there has been renewed focus on rising mortgage rates and what impact they will have on the housing market," continued Smith. "While rising rates have had an effect on refinancing volume, thus far we have seen no near-term impact on existing home sales. We view rising rates as a reflection of a healthier economy, and while mortgage rates may put near-term pressure on certain homebuyers, this needs to be viewed in the broader context of overall affordability, which remains at historically high levels. We believe the recovery is, and will continue to be, a long-term process."

"Looking ahead, we expect continued growth in transaction volume, with 17% to 19% increases in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2012," said Anthony E. Hull, Realogy's executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "On a combined basis, RFG and NRT transaction sides are anticipated to increase 9% to 10% and average sale price is expected to increase 8% to 9% year-over-year in the third quarter. This business growth trend will drive continued strength in our revenue and EBITDA results for the third quarter."

Balance Sheet Information as of June 30, 2013

The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $187 million, and $140 million of outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facility under its senior secured credit agreement.

"We expect that our revolver will be fully repaid by the end of the third quarter, and we currently expect to end the quarter and the year with a significant cash balance," said Hull. "The availability of funds from operating cash flow and our revolver will give us flexibility to continue to materially reduce our borrowings over time. Having already reduced our indebtedness by $3.2 billion over the past year, our goal over the next several years is to reduce our overall leverage (Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA) to three times or less."

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

--------------- 
(a)   Net income (loss) attributable to Realogy consists of: (i) a loss of $34 million for the third quarter of 2012, (ii) a loss of $292 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, (iii) a loss of $75 million for the first quarter of 2013 and (iv) income of $84 million for the second quarter of 2013.
     
(b)   EBITDA consists of: (i) $213 million for the third quarter of 2012, (ii) negative $249 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, (iii) $63 million for the first quarter 2013 and (iv) $204 million for the second quarter of 2013.
     
(c)   Consists of $11 million of restructuring costs partially offset by a net benefit of $6 million for former parent legacy items.
     
(d)   Represents incremental costs incurred in the second quarter for the Corporate headquarters that are not expected to recur in subsequent periods.
     
(e)   Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in subsequent periods due to restructuring activities initiated during the year ended December 31, 2012. From this restructuring, we expect to reduce our operating costs by approximately $13 million on a twelve-month run-rate basis and estimate that $11 million of such savings were realized from the time they were put in place. The adjustment shown represents the impact the savings would have had on the period from July 1, 2012 through the time they were put in place had those actions been effected on July 1, 2012.
     
(f)   Represents the twelve-month pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives including $3 million related to our Relocation Services integration costs, $4 million related to vendor renegotiations, $8 million related to business cost cutting initiatives and $6 million for employee retention accruals. The employee retention accruals reflect the two year employee retention plan that was implemented in November 2010 in lieu of our customary bonus plan, due to the ongoing and prolonged downturn in the housing market in order to ensure the retention of executive officers and other key personnel, principally within our corporate services unit and the corporate offices of our four business units.
     
(g)   Represents the elimination of non-cash expenses, including $36 million of stock-based compensation expense less $15 million for the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes reserves and $2 million of other items from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.
     
(h)   Reflects the adjustment for the negative impact of fair value adjustments for purchase accounting at the operating business segments primarily related to deferred rent.
     
(i)   Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and new franchisees as if they had been acquired or signed on July 1, 2012. Franchisee sales activity is comprised of new franchise agreements as well as growth acquired by existing franchisees with our assistance. We have made a number of assumptions in calculating such estimate and there can be no assurance that we would have generated the projected levels of EBITDA had we owned the acquired entities or entered into the franchise contracts as of July 1, 2012.
     
(j)   Represents the elimination of the expense recognized for the termination of the Apollo management fee agreement for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.
     
(k)   Incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization facilities refinancing for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.
     
(l)   Represents total borrowings under the senior secured credit facility which are secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $2,648 million plus $15 million of capital lease obligations less $135 million of readily available cash as of June 30, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of our senior secured credit facility, total senior secured net debt does not include the First and a Half Lien Notes, other indebtedness secured by a lien on our assets that is pari passu or junior in priority to the First and a Half Lien Notes, including our securitization obligations and the Unsecured Notes.

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, IPO related costs for the Convertible Notes, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, non-cash charges, non-recurring fair value adjustments for purchase accounting, Apollo management fees, fees for the secondary offering 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 net 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 requirement 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 loss attributable to Realogy before income tax expense, net of payments, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefit), net of payments,, cash payment related to Apollo management fee termination, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capital adjustments and relocation receivables and properties, 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.
