“Frontdoor delivered record financial performance in 2023,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Cobb. “This is an exceptional turnaround from when I started 21 months ago, and I would like to thank our associates and contractors for their hard work in achieving these results. In 2024, our top priority is to grow revenue and reignite customer growth as we relaunch the American Home Shield brand and expand our on-demand service offerings. Looking beyond 2024, I am extremely optimistic about Frontdoor’s future as we have several initiatives to drive growth, our margins have stabilized, and we are building a strong foundation that will benefit all of our stakeholders for years to come.”

“We took decisive actions to improve execution and combat a challenging macroeconomic environment, which resulted in gross margins rebounding to the highest levels in nearly 10 years,” said Chief Financial Officer Jessica Ross. “We have a strong and resilient core business, and our 2024 outlook reflects modest revenue growth, normalized margins and continued investments to drive unit growth. We are confident in the fundamentals of our home warranty business, and we are in the process of executing our growth strategy from a position of strength.”

•

Real estate revenue decreased 15% due to lower sales as a result of the challenging real estate market that was partially offset by improved price realization;

•

Direct-to-consumer revenue decreased 14% due to lower sales, which we believe was driven by a decline in overall category demand for home warranties; and

$17 million of higher sales and marketing costs, primarily investments to drive direct-to-consumer sales; and

Net cash used for investing activities was $32 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023 and was primarily comprised of capital expenditures related to technology projects.

Net cash used for financing activities was $137 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023 and was primarily comprised of $121 million (including taxes and fees) to repurchase 3.6 million shares, or 4% of outstanding shares, and scheduled debt payments.

Cash as of December 31, 2023 was $325 million and was comprised of $157 million of restricted net assets and $168 million of Unrestricted Cash.

First-Quarter 2024 Outlook

•

Revenue of $370 million to $380 million, reflecting upper-single digit growth in the renewals channel, partially offset by a 20% to 25% decline in the first-year real estate channel and an approximately 20% decline in the first-year direct-to-consumer channel. Additionally, other revenue is projected to increase approximately $5 million.

•

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ of $40 million to $50 million, a decline from the prior-year period as a result of increased marketing investments to drive first-year direct-to-consumer customer count.

Full-Year 2024 Outlook

•

Revenue to grow approximately 2% to 3% to $1.81 billion to $1.84 billion. Key assumptions include:

•

A mid-single digit increase in renewals channel revenue;

•

Approximately 10% decline in direct-to-consumer channel revenue;

•

A 15% to 20% decline in real estate channel revenue;

•

Approximately 30% increase in other revenue, which is primarily driven by the new HVAC program;

•

The number of home warranties is expected to decline 1% to 3%.

•

Gross profit margin of 48.5% to 49.5%, which reflects the impact of reverting back to normal weather conditions, as well as a slightly higher mix of on-demand services.

•

SG&A of $580 million to $595 million, which is slightly higher than the prior year due to normal cost inflation in general and administrative expenses. Additionally, there is a shift in marketing investments from the Frontdoor brand to American Home Shield to support the brand relaunch.

•

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ of $350 million to $360 million.

•

Capital expenditures of approximately $35 million to $45 million.

•

Annual effective tax rate of approximately 25%.

2024 Share Repurchase Outlook

•

The company is targeting full year share repurchases of approximately $100 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Frontdoor’s results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), Frontdoor has disclosed the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Unrestricted Cash.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income before depreciation and amortization expense; goodwill and intangibles impairment; restructuring charges; provision for income taxes; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and other non-operating expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as it facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment, restructuring initiatives, and equity-based, long-term incentive plans, and it is a component of our incentive compensation program.

We define “Free Cash Flow” as net cash provided from operating activities less property additions. Free Cash Flow is not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net cash provided from operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free Cash Flow is useful as a supplemental measure of our liquidity. Management uses Free Cash Flow to facilitate company-to-company cash flow comparisons, which may vary from company-to-company for reasons unrelated to operating performance.

We define “Adjusted Net Income” as net income before: amortization expense; restructuring charges; loss on extinguishment of debt; other non-operating expenses; and the tax impact of the aforementioned adjustments. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as it facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by items listed in this definition.

We define “Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share” as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

We define “Unrestricted Cash” as cash not subject to third-party restrictions. For additional information related to our third-party restrictions, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Liquidity” under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

See the schedules attached hereto for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors’ evaluation of Frontdoor’s business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of Frontdoor’s business. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

⁽¹⁾

See “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” accompanying this release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, each a non-GAAP measure, to the nearest GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in this release for descriptions of calculations of these measures. Amounts presented in the reconciliations and other tables presented herein may not sum due to rounding.

⁽²⁾

A reconciliation of the forward-looking first-quarter and full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.

⁽³⁾

Revenue conversion includes the impact of the change in the number of home warranties as well as the impact of year-over-year price changes. The impact of the change in the number of home warranties considers the associated revenue on those plans less an estimate of contract claims costs based on margin experience in the prior year period.

⁽⁴⁾

Contract claims costs includes the impact of changes in service request incidence, inflation and other drivers associated with the number of home warranties in the prior year period. The impact on contract claims costs resulting from year-over-year changes in the number of home warranties is included in revenue conversion above.
