Realogy Reports Financial Results For First Quarter 2016
Revenue increases 7% to $1.1 billion; Completed $33 million in share repurchases under $275 million authorization
MADISON, N.J., May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), the preeminent provider of residential real estate services in the United States, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, including the following highlights:
- Revenue of $1.1 billion, a 7% increase as compared to the first quarter of 2015, was primarily driven by higher homesale transaction volume.
- Net loss for the period was $42 million, compared to $32 million in the first quarter of 2015. Basic loss per share was $0.29, compared to $0.22 in first quarter of 2015 (See Table 1).
- Adjusted net loss was $17 million, and adjusted basic loss per share was $0.12, improvements of 29% and 25% respectively, on a comparable basis to the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted net loss is adjusted for non-cash mark to market expense on interest rate swaps and restructuring charges (See Table 1a).
- Adjusted (Covenant) EBITDA was $77 million, compared to $70 million in the first quarter of 2015, a year-over-year increase of 10% (See Table 6).
- The Company repurchased $33 million, or 1 million shares, of Realogy's common stock in the open market at a weighted average market price of $33.45 per share, all under the $275 million repurchase plan announced in February 2016.
- The Company implemented business optimization initiatives and remains on track to reach its annualized run-rate savings target of $40 million, of which $25 million is expected to be realized in 2016.
"During the quarter, we delivered solid revenue growth, and made progress on our key priorities to enhance the efficiency of our operations, strengthen our technology offerings and maximize the profitability of our integrated business model," said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chairman, chief executive officer and president. "The spring selling season is shaping up in line with industry forecasts for sales volume, and we are encouraged by the level of demand we are seeing in this inventory-constrained market. We are confident that our differentiated technology platform, and the continued investments we are making to enhance our value proposition, position us well to capitalize on an improving housing market."
Operational Results
In the first quarter of 2016, Realogy's franchise (RFG) and company-owned (NRT) business segments achieved a combined homesale transaction volume (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price) increase of 6% as compared to the first quarter of 2015. RFG reported a homesale transaction sides increase of 3% and an average homesale price increase of 3%. NRT reported a homesale transaction sides increase of 7% and an average homesale price decrease of 2%.
In the title and settlement services sector, TRG was involved in the closing of approximately 39,000 transactions during the quarter, reflecting a 35% increase in purchase units and a 2% increase in refinance units as compared to the first quarter of 2015. These results include the benefits of the acquisition of Independence Title late last year.
Looking Ahead
For the second quarter of 2016, Realogy expects to achieve homesale transaction volume gains in the range of 3% to 7% year-over-year. Based on the Company's closed and open sales activity in April and the first several days of May, Realogy expects second quarter homesale transaction sides to be up 3% to 5% year-over-year and average homesale price to be flat to up 2% on a company-wide basis. Realogy's guidance is in line with industry forecasts that expect an average of 5% transaction volume growth for the second quarter. In the current market environment, the Company is on track to continue to generate significant free cash flow for full year 2016.
"We continue to make significant progress toward our strategic financial objectives -- optimizing our cost structure, executing our share repurchase program and delevering the balance sheet, which is the strongest it has been since we went public," said Anthony E. Hull, executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer.
Balance Sheet
The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $283 million. Total long-term corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents, totaled $3.5 billion at March 31, 2016. The ratio of total corporate debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, to Adjusted (Covenant) EBITDA for the 12 months ended March 31, 2016 was 4.1 times. On May 2, 2016, the Company used a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility to retire the $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes that matured at that time.
A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

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. Below, we have presented 2015 quarterly reconciliations from Net loss to Adjusted net loss for purposes of comparability as certain adjustments below were not included in Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share reported in prior periods.
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, which the Company believes will be significant as a result of the business optimization initiatives currently in progress; and (d) the loss on the early extinguishment of debt that results from refinancing and deleveraging debt initiatives. These items are shown on the tables below as net of income taxes.
Adjusted income (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 to Adjusted net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Non-GAAP Definitions
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before mark to market interest rate adjustments, former parent legacy items, restructuring charges and loss on the early extinguishment of debt. These items are shown net of the related tax impact. Adjusted income (loss) per share is Adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding. 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.
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.
Operating EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA before restructuring, early extinguishment of debt and legacy items. Operating EBITDA calculated for a twelve-month period is presented because the Company believes these items do not directly affect the operating results of the Company and accordingly should be excluded in comparing operating results. Operating EBITDA does not include pro-forma adjustments for business optimization initiatives and acquisitions or non-cash adjustments such as stock-based compensation expense, used to calculate Adjusted (Covenant) EBITDA in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility senior secured leverage ratio.
Adjusted (Covenant) 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 and the Term Loan A Facility. Adjusted (Covenant) 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 and the Term Loan A Facility to calculate the senior secured leverage ratio. Adjusted (Covenant) 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 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 (Covenant) 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, Operating EBITDA and Adjusted (Covenant) EBITDA because we believe EBITDA, Operating EBITDA and Adjusted (Covenant) 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, Operating EBITDA and Adjusted (Covenant) 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, Operating EBITDA and Adjusted (Covenant) EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider EBITDA, Operating EBITDA or Adjusted (Covenant) 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 (Covenant) 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. We use Free Cash Flow in our internal evaluation of operating effectiveness and decisions regarding the allocation of resources. 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. Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
