ANYWHERE REAL ESTATE INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS

MADISON, N.J., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS) ("Anywhere" or the "Company"), the largest full-service residential real estate services company in the United States, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"Even in a much tougher housing market, Anywhere delivered the solid profitability and Free Cash Flow that we believe the market is increasingly valuing," said Ryan Schneider, Anywhere president and CEO. "Anywhere continues to invest in the business, especially our strategic focus on simplifying and reimagining the home buying and selling experience for consumers as we leverage our strong financial profile and demonstrated ability to deliver results."

"We continued to strengthen our balance sheet in July with an amendment and extension of our revolving credit facility giving us even further financial flexibility," said Charlotte Simonelli, Anywhere executive vice president, chief financial officer, and treasurer. "We have targeted an additional $70 million of cost savings to give us greater flexibility to balance our strategic priorities and growth investments against the current housing market backdrop."

On July 13th, we announced the following new naming conventions for our business units which followed the Company’s rebrand to Anywhere Real Estate, Inc. (Anywhere) on June 9th: Anywhere Brands (our Franchise Group), formerly known as Realogy Franchise Group; Anywhere Advisors (our Owned Brokerage Group), formerly known as Realogy Brokerage Group; and Anywhere Integrated Services (our Title Group), formerly known as Realogy Title Group.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights
  • Generated Revenue of $2.1 billion, a decrease of 6% or $134 million year-over-year, largely impacted by the absence of revenue from our former title underwriter business due to its sale in the first quarter of 2022 as well as lower homesale transaction volume.
  • Reported Net income of $88 million and basic earnings per share of $0.76, a decrease of $61 million or $0.52 per share vs. prior year.
  • Generated Operating EBITDA of $202 million, a decrease of $108 million year-over-year (See Table 5a).
  • Generated Free Cash Flow of $70 million vs. $243 million for the corresponding quarter last year (See Table 7).
  • Combined closed transaction volume decreased 6% year-over-year.
  • Anywhere Advisors agent count grew 6% year-over-year (excluding the impact of an acquisition of a large franchisee in the second quarter of 2022), the eighth consecutive quarter of sequential growth, and continued to maintain strong retention levels.
  • At June 30, 2022, our Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 3.4x (See Table 8b) and Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 0.05x (See Table 8a).
  • Executed an amendment and extension of our Revolving Credit Facility, which terminated the revolving commitments due 2023 and extended the maturity of the $1.1 billion resulting Revolving Credit Facility to July 2027 (subject to earlier springing maturity dates upon the occurrence of certain events).

Footnotes:

1  See Tables 5a and 5b. Operating EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), 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.

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, (gain) loss on the sale of investments or other assets and the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.

3  See Table 7. 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 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.

4  Includes all franchisees except for Owned Brokerage Group.

5  The Company’s combined homesale transaction volume growth (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price) decreased 6% compared with the second quarter of 2021.

6  In the second quarter of 2022, Owned Brokerage Group acquired a franchisee formerly reported under Franchise Group. As a result of the acquisition, the drivers of the acquired entity shifted from Franchise Group to Owned Brokerage Group. Excluding the impact of the acquisition for the three months ended June 30, 2022, closed homesale sides for (i) Franchise Group would have improved to (17)%; and (ii) Owned Brokerage Group would have decreased to (10)%. The acquisition did not have a significant impact on the change in average homesale price for Franchise Group or Owned Brokerage Group in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding the impact of the acquisition for the three months ended June 30, 2022, homesale transaction volume for Franchise Group and Owned Brokerage Group would have been (8)% (as opposed to (9)%) and (3)% (as opposed to flat), respectively.

2022 Financial Estimates

The Company now estimates Operating EBITDA for full year 2022 in the range of $600 to $700 million from $750 to $800 million but cautions that the macroeconomic environment continues to shift quickly. The reduction from prior estimates is predominantly attributable to declines in projected year-over-year homesale transaction volume in the range of (10)% to (20)% in the second half of 2022, which implies year-over-year declines in homesale transaction volume in the range of (6)% to (11)% for full year 2022.

The full year estimate assumes the achievement of $70 million in cost savings that were previously identified by the Company as well as an incremental $70 million in a mix of temporary and permanent cost savings for total estimated 2022 savings north of $140 million offset in part by increased independent agent commission costs which we now expect to be above 175 basis points, year-over-year.

This estimate is subject, among other things, to macroeconomic and housing market uncertainties, including those related to rising inflation and mortgage rates, declining affordability and constrained inventory.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $251 million. Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $2.7 billion at June 30, 2022. The Company’s Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 3.4x at June 30, 2022 (see Table 8b).

On July 27, 2022, the Company amended its credit agreement, which includes its Revolving Credit Facility, or revolver, to extend the maturity date of the revolver to July 2027 (subject to earlier springing maturity dates upon the occurrence of certain events), replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR-based rate as the applicable benchmark for the revolver, and terminate the revolver commitments due 2023, among other changes. Following amendment, the revolver has an aggregate of $1.1 billion in capacity, with no amounts currently drawn and $42 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company used cash on hand to repurchase $60 million of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 in open market purchases at an aggregate purchase price of $59 million, plus accrued interest to the repurchase date. As of June 30th, $347 million of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 remain outstanding.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased and retired 3.9 million shares of common stock for $45 million. As of June 30, 2022, $255 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

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: adverse developments or the absence of sustained improvement in the U.S. residential real estate markets, either regionally or nationally, which could include, but are not limited to factors that impact homesale transaction volume, such as: stagnant or declining home prices, continued or accelerated increases in mortgage rates, continued or accelerated declines in home sales, housing affordability, or consumer demand or continued or accelerated declines in inventory or excessive inventory; adverse developments or the absence of sustained improvement in macroeconomic conditions (such as business, economic or political conditions) on a global, domestic or local basis, which could include, but are not limited to contraction or stagnation in the U.S. economy and continued or accelerated increases in inflation; adverse developments or outcomes in current or future litigation, in particular pending antitrust litigation; industry structure changes that disrupt the functioning of the residential real estate market; the impact of evolving competitive and consumer dynamics, including that the Company’s share of the commission income generated by homesale transactions may continue to shift to affiliated independent sales agents or otherwise erode due to market factors and our ability to compete against traditional and non-traditional competitors; our ability to execute our business strategy and achieve growth, including with respect to the recruitment and retention of productive independent sales agents, attraction and retention of franchisees and development or procurement of products, services and technology that support our strategic initiatives; our ability to realize the expected benefits from our existing or future joint ventures or strategic partnerships, in particular, our mortgage origination joint venture, which is impacted by increases in mortgage rates and competitive margin compression; adverse impacts from the COVID-19 crisis or other pandemics or epidemics; risks related to our business structure, including our geographic and high-end market concentration, the operating results of our affiliated franchisees, and risks related to a loss of our largest real estate benefit program; disruption in the residential real estate brokerage industry related to listing aggregator market power and concentration; risks related to our substantial indebtedness and our ability to refinance or repay our indebtedness; our failure or alleged failure to comply with laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations and any changes or stricter interpretations of any of the foregoing, including but not limited to (1) antitrust laws and regulations, (2) the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other federal or state consumer protection or similar laws, (3) state or federal employment laws or regulations that would require reclassification of independent contractor sales agents to employee status, and (4) privacy or data security laws and regulations; cybersecurity incidents; impairment of our goodwill and other long-lived assets; the accuracy of market forecasts and estimates; significant fluctuation in the price of our common stock; and the impact of share repurchase programs on our common stock.

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, 2022 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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 by SEC rules, important information regarding such measures is contained in the Tables attached to this release. See Tables 1a, 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.

Because of the forward-looking nature of the Company’s forecasted non-GAAP financial measure, specific quantification of the amounts that would be required to reconcile forecasted Operating EBITDA to forecasted net income are not determinable without unreasonable efforts.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
(In millions, except per share data)

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 provide 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) 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 investments or other assets and (g) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. The gross amounts for these items as well as the adjustment for income taxes are shown in the table below.

Commencing in the first quarter of 2022, the Company revised its approach to Adjusted net income to exclude the impact of the sale of investments or other assets. Adjusted net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have been revised to reflect this change.

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 income to Adjusted net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Excluding the impact of the acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, closed homesale sides for (i) Franchise Group would have improved to (17)% and (14)%, respectively, and (ii) Owned Brokerage Group would have decreased to (10)% and (8)%, respectively. The acquisition did not have a significant impact on the change in average homesale price for Franchise Group or Owned Brokerage Group in the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

(c)

Purchase title and closing units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were revised to reflect a decrease of 1,812 and 3,138 units, respectively. The change was for the number of units only and did not impact revenue.

(d)

(d)

Gain on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, net is recorded in Title Group related to the sale of a portion of the Company’s ownership in the Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Gain on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, net is recorded in Owned Brokerage Group during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

(e)

Revenues include the elimination of transactions between segments, which consists of intercompany royalties and marketing fees paid by Owned Brokerage Group of $116 million and $117 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are eliminated through the Corporate and Other line.

(f)

Title Group includes our title, escrow and settlement services (title agency) businesses, minority-owned mortgage origination joint venture and our minority-owned Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture. The sale of our former title insurance underwriter on March 29, 2022 resulted in declines of $102 million in underwriter revenue and $19 million in Operating EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021, with $3 million of equity in earnings attributable to the Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture partially offsetting the decline in earnings. The Operating EBITDA contribution from the mortgage origination joint venture declined $9 million from earnings of $8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 to losses of $1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022.

(f)

Title Group includes our title, escrow and settlement services (title agency) businesses, minority-owned mortgage origination joint venture and our minority-owned Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture. The sale of our former title insurance underwriter on March 29, 2022 resulted in declines of $107 million in underwriter revenue and $28 million in Operating EBITDA in the first half of 2022 as compared to the first half of 2021, with $3 million of equity in earnings attributable to the Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture partially offsetting the decline in earnings. The Operating EBITDA contribution from the mortgage origination joint venture declined $47 million from earnings of $38 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 to losses of $9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The decline was primarily driven by the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on the mortgage loan pipeline and significant gain-on-sale margin compression due to the highly competitive mortgage industry, lower refinancing volume and increased headcount to grow the business and its market share.

(g)

The segment numbers noted above do not reflect the impact of intercompany royalties and marketing fees paid by Owned Brokerage Group to Franchise Group of $202 million and $196 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION – SENIOR SECURED LEVERAGE RATIO

FOR THE FOUR-QUARTER PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

(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 June 30, 2022, 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-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 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 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, 2022 with a ratio of 0.05 to 1.00

A reconciliation of net income attributable to Anywhere Group to Operating EBITDA 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, 2022 is set forth in the following table:

(b)

Operating EBITDA consists of: (i) $273 million for the third quarter of 2021, (ii) $157 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, (iii) $69 million for the first quarter of 2022 and (iv) $202 million for the second quarter of 2022.

(c)

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

(d)

Represents the elimination of non-cash expenses including $29 million of stock-based compensation expense, $4 million of foreign exchange expense and $3 million for the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes reserves less $6 million of other items for the four-quarter period ended June 30, 2022.

(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 July 1, 2021. 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, 2021.

(f)

Incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization facilities refinancing for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022.

(g)

Represents total borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities (including the Revolving Credit Facility) and Term Loan A Facility and borrowings secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $228 million plus $24 million of finance lease obligations less $216 million of readily available cash as of June 30, 2022. 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 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 Unsecured Notes include our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023, 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 mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, former parent legacy items, restructuring charges, the (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, the (gain) loss on the sale of investments or other assets and the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. 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 (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), 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.

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 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. 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.
