MADISON, N.J. (November 7, 2024) - Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS) ("Anywhere" or the "Company"), a global leader in residential real estate services, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
"I am proud of our third quarter performance as Anywhere delivered strong Operating EBITDA and free cash flow, invested meaningfully in the business for future growth, gained luxury share, and strengthened our balance sheet," said Ryan Schneider, Anywhere president and CEO. "Anywhere stands out because of our strategic strengths and profitability, along with our outstanding affiliated agents, franchisees, and employees who continue to deliver great value to consumers as we move real estate to what's next."
"Anywhere delivered differentiated profitability, optimized our balance sheet, and drove efficiencies to fuel even greater financial octane and flexibility for the future," said Charlotte Simonelli, Anywhere executive vice president, chief financial officer, and treasurer. "We are capitalizing on this moment to accelerate our strategic progress, invest in our future, and set Anywhere up for growth and further competitive differentiation as the housing market improves."
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
•Generated Revenue of $1.5 billion, a decrease of 3% year-over-year.
•Combined closed transaction volume remained flat year-over-year in the third quarter with units down about 5% and price up 6%.
•Our strength in luxury continued as our Corcoran and Sotheby’s International Realty brands outperformed the market, with 5% transaction volume growth in the third quarter, including growing our luxury unit share year-over-year.
•Reported Net Income of $7 million decreased $122 million primarily driven by lapping gains on the early extinguishment of debt which were $7 million during the third quarter of 2024 compared to $169 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Income of $6 million decreased $11 million versus 2023 (See Table 1a).
•Operating EBITDA of $94 million, a $13 million decrease year-over-year (See Table 5a).
•Realized cost savings of approximately $30 million and on track to realize full year cost savings of $120 million.
•Agent commission splits in the third quarter were up 15 basis points year-over-year to 80.4%, but down versus the prior quarter. It is the 10th straight quarter of stable commission splits at approximately 80%.
•Free Cash Flow of $99 million versus $95 million for the corresponding quarter last year (See Table 7).
•The Company repaid its $196 million Term Loan A and repurchased $26 million of unsecured notes for $19 million, capturing $7 million of discount.
•The Company's preliminary October 2024 closed transaction volume was up approximately 9% year-over-year and October open transaction volume, which represents new contracts and future closings, was up approximately 16% year-over-year.

2024 Financial Estimates
The Company is expecting to realize $120 million in cost savings in 2024.
The Company expects its Free Cash Flow excluding one-time items to be approximately $100 million in 2024. The one-time items are estimated to be approximately $60 million, and consist of a $20 million payment towards our antitrust litigation settlement and approximately $39 million for a 1999 Cendant legacy tax matter.
The antitrust litigation settlement totaled $83.5 million, $10 million of which was paid in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $20 million of which was paid in the second quarter of 2024. The remaining $53.5 million will be due when appeals are resolved, the timing of which is uncertain. We currently expect the payment to occur no earlier than mid-2025.
The approximately $39 million 1999 Cendant legacy tax matter will be due once statutory notice is received, which we have assumed will occur in 2024.
For further discussion of these matters, see our SEC periodic reports, including the Form 10-Q we filed this morning.
These estimates are subject to, among other things, macroeconomic and housing market uncertainties, including those related to rising inflation, declining affordability and constrained inventory as well as competitive, litigation and regulatory uncertainties. In addition, our free cash flow estimates do not include any potential financial impact relating to the implementation of industry settlement practice changes, which remain uncertain.
Balance Sheet
Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $2.5 billion at September 30, 2024. The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $102 million. The Company's Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.32x at September 30, 2024 (see Table 8a). The Company's Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 7.4x at September 30, 2024 (see Table 8b).
On August 30, 2024, the Company repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of approximately $196 million along with accrued interest under the Term Loan A Facility, as amended, with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased a total of $26 million of its Unsecured Notes at an aggregate purchase price of $19 million, plus accrued interest to the respective repurchase dates.
As of November 5, 2024 the Company had $555 million of outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.
A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

we could face due to their actions, the continued consolidation among our top 250 franchisees, and risks related to our reliance on information technology to operate our business and maintain our competitiveness; disruption in the residential real estate brokerage industry related to listing aggregator market power and concentration; 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, (4) the TCPA, and (5) 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; and significant fluctuation in the price of 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," "Summary of Risk Factors," "Risk Factors" and "Legal Proceedings" in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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 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.
A reconciliation of the Company's estimate of full-year Free Cash Flow excluding one-time items, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to Net income attributable to Anywhere is not provided because of the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the items that would be necessary for such reconciliation. The Company also believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to provide a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on GAAP results.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION - SENIOR SECURED LEVERAGE RATIO
FOR THE FOUR-QUARTER PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
(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 September 30, 2024, 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-quarter 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 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes*, 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 the bank adjustments set forth below. The Company was in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant at September 30, 2024 with a ratio of 1.32x to 1.00.
A reconciliation of Net loss attributable to Anywhere Group to EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, for the four-quarter period ended September 30, 2024 is set forth in the following table:

_______________
(a)Net loss attributable to Anywhere Group consists of: (i) loss of $107 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, (ii) loss of $101 million for the first quarter of 2024, (iii) income of $30 million for the second quarter of 2024 and (iv) income of $7 million for the third quarter of 2024.
(b)Represents the four-quarter pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives.
(c)Represents non-cash long term incentive compensation charges, other non-cash charges and extraordinary, nonrecurring or unusual litigation charges.
(d)Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and franchise sales activity, net of brokerages that exited our franchise system, as if these changes had occurred at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. 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 the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period.
(e)Incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization facilities refinancing for the four-quarter period ended September 30, 2024.

(f)Represents total borrowings secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $500 million under the Revolving Credit Facility plus $17 million of finance lease obligations less $80 million of readily available cash as of September 30, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of our senior secured credit facilities, total senior secured net debt does not include our securitization obligations, 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes 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"). Our Senior Secured Second Lien Notes include our 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due in 2030. Our Unsecured Notes include our 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.

Non-GAAP Definitions
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before: (a) mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments; (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 businesses, investments or other assets and (g) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. We present Adjusted net income (loss) because we believe this measure is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our operating results.
Operating EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (excluding relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes, and certain non-core items. Non-core items include restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, and gains or losses on discontinued operations or the sale of businesses, investments or other assets. Operating EBITDA is our primary non-GAAP measure. Operating EBITDA Margin is defined as Operating EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.
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 businesses, 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 businesses, 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.
