Company Increases Its Projection of 2004 EPS from Continuing Operations
To $1.70 — $1.74, a $0.04 — $0.05 Increase from Its Prior Projection
After Reclassifying Jackson Hewitt as a Discontinued Operation

New York, NY, July 21, 2004 – Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD) today reported record results for second quarter 2004. EPS from Continuing Operations increased 27% to $0.47, versus $0.37 in second quarter 2003. Net income per share, which includes a $0.19 gain from the sale of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc., increased 78% to $0.66, versus $0.37 in second quarter 2003.

As a result of the Company’s higher than anticipated second quarter results and improved outlook for the remainder of the year, Cendant increased its projection of EPS from Continuing Operations for full year 2004 to $1.70 - $1.74, representing an approximately 25% increase compared to 2003. The Company previously issued EPS guidance of $1.69 — $1.74 but after reflecting Jackson Hewitt as a discontinued operation, the previous guidance would be $1.65 — $1.70. Therefore, the new projection represents a $0.04 — $0.05 increase over the prior projection. Excluding the one-time tax benefit of $0.10 per share recorded in first quarter 2004 related to Trilegiant, EPS from Continuing Operations is projected to increase approximately 17% in 2004 compared with 2003. The Company also continues to forecast 2004 Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of approximately $5 billion and Free Cash Flow of more than $2 billion, even without the cash flow generated by Jackson Hewitt in the first six months of the year, which is no longer included in Free Cash Flow.

Cendant’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Henry R. Silverman, stated: “The combination of prolonged strength in the residential real estate market and the early stages of a rebound in travel spending, together with solid execution on

 


 

our strategies, enabled our core real estate and travel verticals to perform ahead of expectations.

“We are also pleased to report that the Company continues to make significant progress toward strategic objectives as well as financial goals. We completed the first step in our plan to exit certain non-core businesses with the initial public offering of Jackson Hewitt. We plan to deploy the $770 million of cash proceeds, as well as the free cash flow generated during the remainder of 2004, primarily to reduce debt and repurchase our common stock.

“We will also continue to return value created to shareholders through a quarterly dividend, which we announced yesterday will increase effective with the third quarter payment. We expect to periodically increase our dividend at a rate at least equal to our earnings growth.”

Second Quarter 2004 Results of Reportable Segments

The following discussion of operating results focuses on revenue and EBITDA for each of our reportable operating segments. EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before non-program related depreciation and amortization, non-program related interest, amortization of pendings and listings, income taxes and minority interest. EBITDA is the measure that we use to evaluate performance in each of our reportable operating segments. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Revenue and EBITDA are expressed in millions.

Real Estate Franchise and Operations

(Consisting of the Company’s real estate franchise brands, brokerage operations and relocation services)
                         
    2004     2003     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 1,812     $ 1,388       31%  
 
EBITDA
  $ 354     $ 262       35%  
 

Revenue and EBITDA increased principally due to strong growth in royalties earned by our real estate franchise businesses and real estate commissions earned by NRT, our real estate brokerage firm. Real estate franchise royalty and marketing fund revenue increased 20%, primarily due to a 15% increase in average price of homes sold and a 15% increase in home sale transactions. Revenue generated by NRT increased 29% organically, due to increases in both average price and home sale transaction volume.

Mortgage Services

(Consisting of mortgage services and settlement services)
                         
    2004     2003     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 344     $ 394       (13%)  
 
EBITDA
  $ 94     $ 92       2%  
 

2


 

Revenue declined as expected due to lower mortgage refinancing volumes. EBITDA increased modestly as the decline in mortgage production revenues was offset by higher net revenues from mortgage servicing activities. Net revenues from mortgage servicing improved $72 million, driven by a 14% increase in the size of the servicing portfolio, substantially lower amortization and recovery of the value of our servicing asset, net of hedging activity. In addition, revenue from our settlement services business was virtually unchanged versus second quarter 2003 as lower volumes related to mortgage refinancing were offset by higher average fees and a $7 million pretax gain on the sale of a non-core asset within this business.

Hospitality Services

(Consisting of the Company’s franchised lodging brands, timeshare exchange and timeshare sales and marketing, and vacation rental businesses)
                         
    2004     2003     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 701     $ 635       10%  
 
EBITDA
  $ 179     $ 150       19%  
 

Revenue increased due to growth in virtually all of our hospitality businesses. Revenue from the European Vacation Rental Group increased approximately 90%, due primarily to the acquisition of Landal Green Parks. Revenue from RCI, the Company’s timeshare exchange business, increased 13% and revenue from lodging franchise increased 7%. Revenue from the Timeshare Resort Group increased 4%, reflecting continued strength at Fairfield and in Trendwest’s South Pacific results, partially offset by softness in Trendwest’s domestic results due to lower than expected tour flow. Trendwest recently initiated a new sales program designed to focus on higher margin sales, which we believe should enhance results in future periods. EBITDA increased due to improved results from the European Vacation Rental Group, lodging franchise, Fairfield and RCI. In addition, income received in second quarter 2004 from lodging franchisee receivables that had been reserved in prior periods more than offset the impact of discontinuing gain-on-sale accounting, as of third quarter 2003, for the securitization of timeshare receivables.

Travel Distribution Services

(Consisting primarily of electronic global distribution services for the travel industry and travel agency services)
                         
    2004     2003     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 448     $ 426       5%  
 
EBITDA
  $ 118     $ 104       13%  
 

Revenue and EBITDA were positively impacted by a 5% increase in Galileo booking fees, strong growth in the Company’s online travel businesses and increased sales of merchant-model hotel rooms and travel packages. Online gross bookings grew 29% year-over-year, reflective of our ongoing strategic focus on increasing our penetration of online channels, and we expect CheapTickets.com, our rapidly growing online travel business, to be profitable for the second half of 2004.

Vehicle Services

(Consisting of vehicle rental, vehicle management services and fleet card services)
                         
    2004     2003     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 1,550     $ 1,499       3%  
 
EBITDA
  $ 177     $ 132       34%  
 

EBITDA increased principally due to benefits from the successful integration of Budget. Revenue and EBITDA were also positively impacted by growth in our Avis car rental business and our Wright Express fuel card management business. Avis benefited from a 5% increase in car rental day volume, partially offset by a 2% decrease in price. The decrease in price resulted from the current competitive environment, with higher industry fleet levels due to increased incentives from car manufacturers. The impact of lower prices was offset in EBITDA by lower fleet costs. As expected, Budget car rental revenues declined 6%, as a result of management’s focus on enhancing profitability by reducing the number of higher risk rentals and closing unprofitable locations.

Marketing Services (formerly Financial Services)

(Consisting of individual membership products, insurance-related services and financial services enhancement products)
                         
    2004     2003     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 352     $ 249       41%  
 
EBITDA
  $ 77     $ 76       1%  
 

Year-over-year revenue and EBITDA amounts are not comparable due to the Company’s consolidation of TRL Group (formerly Trilegiant Corporation) beginning on July 1, 2003. The EBITDA increase from the consolidation was muted by integration costs incurred to combine the units that now make up the Marketing Services division, as well as by our resumption of significant marketing investment in February 2004 to solicit new members in our individual membership business. We expect to realize revenue and enhanced profitability from these investments in future periods.

Recent Achievements and Strategic Initiatives

During the second quarter, the Company made considerable progress toward its cash flow generation, debt reduction and share repurchase goals:

 
Generated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $951 million and Free Cash Flow of $688 million. See Table 8 for a description of Free Cash Flow and a reconciliation to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities.
 
 
Reduced corporate debt, net of cash on the balance sheet, by $972 million (corporate debt excludes Debt under Management and Mortgage Programs). As of June 30, 2004, the Company had $566 million of cash and cash equivalents and $4.6 billion of corporate debt outstanding. Furthermore, in August 2004, the Company will receive approximately $863 million in cash and will issue between

4


 

   
30 and 40 million shares of common stock (depending on share price), pursuant to the terms of its Upper DECS securities. See Table 6 for more detailed information.
 
 
Utilized $194 million of cash for the repurchase of common stock, net of proceeds from option exercises. This amount included the use of cash to repurchase shares that had been issued in the first quarter upon conversion of our Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Contingent Notes.

In addition, the Company recently:

 
Completed the sale of 100% of its ownership interest in Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. in an initial public offering. Cendant received approximately $770 million of net cash proceeds from the offering, including a special cash dividend of $175 million from Jackson Hewitt. See Table 3 for the Company’s historical results reflecting Jackson Hewitt reported as a discontinued operation.
 
 
Acquired Landal Green Parks, the largest Dutch vacation rental company, which specializes in the rental of privately-owned vacation homes located in European holiday parks, for approximately $150 million.
 
 
Acquired Australia-based Flairview Travel, a leading online hotel distributor that specializes in the distribution of international hotel content throughout Europe and the Asia Pacific region through its merchant hotel brand, www.HotelClub.com, and its last-minute Web site, www.RatesToGo.com.
 
 
Acquired New York City-based Citi Habitats, Inc., the largest residential rental brokerage firm in New York City, and its affiliated companies, including SóLOFTS, a loft and fine home brokerage.
 
 
Announced that it is in discussions with a potential purchaser regarding the sale of the Company’s mortgage business as well as the creation of an ongoing relationship between the parties providing for Cendant’s continued participation in the mortgage business through its residential real estate, relocation and settlement services businesses. It is currently anticipated that the potential transaction, if completed, would result in net proceeds to Cendant at the time of sale of between $750 million and $1 billion, after repayment of approximately $5 billion to $6 billion of associated indebtedness.
 
 
Increased its quarterly cash dividend 29% to $0.09 per share from $0.07 per share, effective third quarter 2004.

(B)  
Each $1,000 principal amount is convertible into 41.58 shares of CD common stock during 2004 if the average price of CD common stock exceeds $28.32 during the stipulated measurement periods. Redeemable by the Company after November 27, 2004. Holders may require the Company to repurchase the debentures on November 27, 2004 and 2008. The Company intends to redeem these debentures during fourth quarter 2004, at which time holders will have the right to convert their debentures into shares of CD common stock.
(C)  
Represents amount of senior notes outstanding following the Company’s remarketing in May 2004 of the $863 million principal amount of senior notes forming a part of the Company’s Upper DECS securities. These notes were previously pledged to the Company as security for the holders’ obligations under the forward purchase contract component of the Upper DECS. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the remarketing; rather, the proceeds were used to purchase a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities, which is pledged to the Company as collateral for the forward purchase contracts.
(D)  
As of June 30, 2004, this balance represents $213 million of mark to market adjustments on current interest rate hedges, partially offset by $172 million of realized gains resulting from the termination of interest rate hedges, which will be amortized by the Company to reduce future interest expense.
(E)  
As of June 30, 2004, this balance includes a $205 million note issued in April 2004 as consideration for the purchase of Marriott International, Inc.’s interest in Two Flags Joint Venture LLC. The Company intends to repay this note no later than third quarter 2004.
(F)  
In May 2004, those senior notes were remarketed and as a result no longer form a portion of the Upper DECS. In connection with such remarketing, the Company purchased and retired $763 million principal amount of notes (see Note (C) above).
(G)  
The “Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio” is useful in measuring the Company’s leverage and indicating the strength of its financial condition. This ratio is calculated by dividing (i) net corporate debt (which reflects total debt adjusted to assume the application of available cash to reduce outstanding indebtedness) by (ii) net capitalization (which reflects total capitalization also adjusted for the application of available cash). A reconciliation of the “Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio” to the appropriate measure recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (Total Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio) is presented in the above table.

CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULES OF FREE CASH FLOWS
(In millions)

Free Cash Flow is useful to management and the Company’s investors in measuring the cash generated by the Company that is available to be used to repurchase stock, repay debt obligations, pay dividends and invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions. Free Cash Flow should not be construed as a substitute in measuring operating results or liquidity. Such metric may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and is not a measurement recognized under generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the appropriate measure recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities) is presented below.

(A)  
Cash flows related to management and mortgage programs may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to the timing of the underlying management and mortgage program transactions (i.e., timing of mortgage loan origination versus sale). For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the net cash flows from the activities of management and mortgage programs are reflected on Table 7 as follows: (i) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of ($76) million and $170 million, respectively, (ii) net cash used in investing activities of ($2,074) million and ($859) million, respectively, and (iii) net cash provided by financing activities of $1,901 million and $535 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the net cash flows from the activities of management and mortgage programs are reflected on Table 7 as follows: (i) net cash provided by operating activities of $412 million and $1,020 million, respectively, (ii) net cash used in investing activities of ($3,520) million and ($1,588) million, respectively, and (iii) net cash provided by financing activities of $2,959 million and $553 million, respectively.
(B)  
Includes net cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations, the effects of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents and other investing and financing activities.
