CENDANT REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2005

2Q 2005 EPS from Continuing Operations Was $0.37

2Q 2005 Revenue Increased 8% to $4.7 Billion versus $4.4 Billion in 2Q 2004

2Q 2005 Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Was $1.0 Billion

2Q 2005 Free Cash Flow Was $702 Million

Company Announces Intent to Double Share Repurchase Target to $2 Billion
 

New York, July 25, 2005 – Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD) today reported results for second quarter 2005. Revenue totaled $4.7 billion, an increase of 8% over second quarter 2004, reflecting growth in the Company’s core real estate and travel services businesses. EPS from Continuing Operations was $0.37 and Net Income was $387 million.

Cendant’s President and Chief Financial Officer, Ronald L. Nelson, stated: “During the second quarter we benefited from continuing strength in our residential real estate businesses and improving trends in our travel operations, which not only enabled us to generate record second quarter revenues in virtually all of our business units, but also caused us to exceed our earnings per share projection.

“The underlying health of each of our businesses is clearly demonstrated by their organic revenue growth during the second quarter. EBITDA growth also was strong, despite our comparison to 2004 being challenged by a number of items, including the absence of earnings from our former mortgage business, an unusually robust real estate market in second quarter 2004 and the absence of certain one-time benefits recorded in our Travel Content and Real Estate divisions in 2004. Looking ahead to the second half of 2005 and full year 2006, we expect growth to accelerate as we begin to reap the benefits of the investments we have been making in our core businesses in 2005.

“We have also announced today that, concurrent with the close of the anticipated sale of our Marketing Services Division, we intend, subject to Board approval, to increase our common stock repurchase target from $1 billion during 2005 to $2 billion over the next 18 months.”

Second Quarter 2005 Results of Core Operating Segments
The following discussion of operating results focuses on revenue and EBITDA for each of our core operating segments. Revenue and EBITDA are expressed in millions.

Real Estate Services
(Consisting of the Company’s real estate franchise brands, brokerage operations, relocation services, settlement services and, subsequent to January 31, 2005, the mortgage origination venture with PHH Corporation)

                         
    2005     2004     % change
 
Revenue
  $ 2,043     $ 1,908       7 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 393     $ 383       3 %
 

Revenue and EBITDA increased primarily due to growth in royalties earned by our real estate franchise businesses, commissions earned by our NRT real estate brokerage unit, and fees earned by Cendant Mobility, our relocation services business. Real estate franchise royalty revenue increased 13%, primarily due to a 14% increase in the average price of homes sold and a 2% increase in closed sides volume. Revenue generated by NRT increased 7% due to tuck-in acquisitions as well as organic growth resulting from a 13% increase in the average price of homes sold, partially offset by an expected 8% decline in closed sides volume reflecting unusually low inventories of homes for sale in the coastal regions where NRT is concentrated. Revenue generated by Cendant Mobility increased 18%, reflecting higher government homesale volume and an overall increase in transaction fees. In addition, year-over-year EBITDA comparisons were negatively impacted by the absence of the previously disclosed gain on the sale of non-core assets within our settlement services business recorded in second quarter 2004; by operating costs that were borne in 2004 by PHH; and by the timing of certain marketing campaigns and certain other expense increases incurred primarily to support growth in our brokerage and relocation services businesses.

Hospitality Services
(Consisting of the Company’s franchised lodging brands, timeshare exchange and vacation rental businesses)

                         
    2005     2004     % change
 
Revenue
  $ 367     $ 320       15 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 100     $ 120       (17 %)
 

During the quarter, revenue increased in all of our hospitality services businesses. Revenue from RCI, our timeshare exchange business, increased 7%, reflecting a 6% increase in exchange and subscription fee revenue and a 19% increase in other timeshare points and rental transaction revenues. Revenue from our lodging business grew 12%, including a 7% increase in revenue per available room on an organic basis, the addition of Ramada International and an incremental $3 million of revenue from TripRewards. Revenue from our vacation rental business increased 38% due to the 2004 acquisitions of Landal GreenParks and Canvas Holidays Limited (without a material contribution to EBITDA due to the timing of the acquisitions) as well as organic growth in our remaining vacation rental businesses of 6%. The favorable impact of revenue growth on EBITDA was offset by $11 million of incremental

investment in marketing programs, including TripRewards, and the timing of certain other expenses. EBITDA comparisons were also negatively impacted by the absence of a previously disclosed $15 million settlement of a lodging franchisee receivable recorded in second quarter 2004.

Timeshare Resorts
(Consisting of the Company’s timeshare sales and development businesses)

                         
    2005     2004     % change
 
Revenue
  $ 436     $ 381       14 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 73     $ 58       26 %
 

Revenue and EBITDA increased primarily due to a 10% increase in tour volume and an 8% increase in average price per sales transaction partially offset by a 5% reduction in close rate. Tour flow and average price were enhanced by our expansion in premium destinations including Hawaii, Las Vegas and Orlando and the opening of new sales offices. In addition, revenue and EBITDA were positively impacted by increased consumer financing income and by proceeds received in connection with the disposal of a parcel of land that was no longer needed for development. The gain on the disposal of land was consistent with the Company’s previous forecast.

Vehicle Rental
(Consisting of the Company’s car and truck rental businesses)

                         
    2005     2004     % change
 
Revenue
  $ 1,224     $ 1,119       9 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 128     $ 140       (9 %)
 

Revenue increased in our domestic and international car rental operations as well as our truck rental business. Car rental revenue grew 10% worldwide due to a 15% increase in rental day volume, which was partially offset by a 5% decrease in price. The reduced pricing resulted in part from the Company’s repositioning of Budget to be more competitive with other leisure-focused car rental brands, which in turn had a positive impact on rental day volume growth. In addition, pricing at both Avis and Budget was negatively impacted by higher industry-wide fleet levels. EBITDA, however, declined due to higher vehicle depreciation and other volume-related costs resulting from growth in our rental fleet to support increased demand and the absence of significant incentives from car manufacturers available in second quarter 2004. Excluding the impact of these incentives, the EBITDA margin would be consistent with the prior year period. Fleet costs are expected to rise throughout the balance of 2005 and into 2006 as the model year 2006 vehicles cycle into our inventory. In order to offset these increased vehicle costs in future periods, we recently raised our car rental pricing at both Avis and Budget. To date, these price increases appear to have been successful.

Travel Distribution Services
(Consisting of electronic global distribution services for the travel industry, corporate and consumer online travel services, and travel agency services)

                         
    2005     2004     % change
 
Revenue
  $ 661     $ 448       48 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 143     $ 118       21 %
 

Revenue and EBITDA increased due to growth both in our online travel agency and other consumer travel businesses and in our Galileo GDS business. The acquisitions of Orbitz, Gullivers and ebookers contributed $202 million of revenue and $25 million of EBITDA, despite costs incurred to integrate these businesses. For the balance of 2005, these acquisitions are expected to contribute more than $125 million to EBITDA as synergies begin to be realized. Apart from these acquisitions, revenue in our owned travel agency businesses increased $14 million, or 40% organically, primarily driven by 47% growth in online gross bookings, substantially at CheapTickets.com, which also achieved higher margins. Revenue from GDS and Supplier Services grew $13 million, or 3%, primarily due to a 6% increase in global GDS segments and increased hosting services revenue, partially offset by a decline in domestic air yield. In addition, revenue and EBITDA comparisons were negatively impacted by $16 million and $4 million, respectively, due to the transfer of our membership travel business to the discontinued Marketing Services Division effective January 1, 2005. EBITDA comparisons were also negatively impacted by $10 million reduction in expenses in 2004 relating to a benefit plan change.

Recent Achievements and Strategic Initiatives
During the second quarter, the Company made progress toward its cash flow generation and share repurchase goals:

  Generated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $1 billion and Free Cash Flow of $702 million. Year-to-date, the Company generated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $1.6 billion and Free Cash Flow of $916 million. For the full year 2005, the Company projects more than $3 billion of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and $1.8 to $2.0 billion of Free Cash Flow.
 
  Utilized $229 million of cash for the repurchase of common stock ($158 million net of proceeds from option exercises). Year-to-date, the Company utilized $460 million of cash for the repurchase of common stock ($269 million net of proceeds from option exercises).

In addition, the Company has:

  Received an upgrade of its senior debt rating from Standard & Poor’s, from BBB to BBB+.
 
  Completed a substantial portion of the integration of Orbitz’ operations into Cendant’s, including the successful migration of CheapTickets.com to Orbitz’ technology platform, and made progress toward the integration of ebookers plc and

4


 

    Gullivers Travel Associates consistent with the Company’s plans to rationalize those businesses and to achieve synergies.
 
  Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share in the third quarter, a 22% increase versus the dividend previously paid to shareholders.

Other Items

  Depreciation and Amortization – Second quarter 2005 results include $28 million of incremental depreciation and amortization related to the Orbitz, Gullivers and ebookers acquisitions. This amount exceeds the expected longer-term depreciation and amortization expense associated with these businesses, due to the impact of purchase accounting and integration activities.

  Discontinued Operations – Includes income from the Company’s Marketing Services Division and, in prior periods, results of operations of the Company’s former Jackson Hewitt, Wright Express, fleet and appraisal units, which have been disposed.

Outlook
The Company’s outlook for the remainder of the year remains unchanged as the $0.02 per share of incremental earnings recorded in the second quarter is offset by a reduction in the range by $0.01 per share in each of the last two quarters. These reductions reflect anticipated increases in the Company’s costs for rental cars and the likely delay in receipt of a contractual payment, anticipated to be recorded in Corporate and Other, from the fourth quarter into 2006.

  (a)   Projections do not total because we do not expect the actual results of all segments to be at the lowest or highest end of any projected range simultaneously.
  (b)   Reflects the results of the Company’s former mortgage unit for the full year in 2004 but only for the month of January in 2005, due to the spin-off of PHH Corporation on January 31, 2005.
  (c)   2005 includes approximately $54 million of pretax charges related to restructuring activities and other transaction related costs, approximately $51 million of which was recorded in the first six months of 2005.
  (d)   2005 includes the previously disclosed non-cash impairment charge recorded in connection with the spin-off of PHH of $180 million ($0.17 per share).
  (e)   Depreciation and amortization excludes amounts related to our assets under management programs, and interest expense excludes amounts related to our debt under management programs, both of which are already reflected in EBITDA.
  (f)   2005 interest expense includes the reversal of $73 million of accrued interest in the first quarter related to a litigation settlement.
  (g)   Diluted weighted average shares outstanding is expected to increase modestly in 2005 due primarily to the full-year impact of the settlement of the Upper DECS securities in August 2004, which resulted in the issuance of 38 million shares of Cendant common stock. Our diluted shares outstanding are expected to decrease throughout 2005 due to share repurchases. However, diluted shares outstanding may be influenced by factors outside of the Company’s control, including Cendant’s stock price.

On a comparable basis (excluding Ramada International from the 2005 amounts), RevPAR would have increased 7% and Weighted Average Rooms Available would have decreased 5%.
 
(C)  
The 2005 amounts include the revenues of businesses acquired during or subsequent to second quarter 2004 and are therefore not comparable to the 2004 amounts.
 
(D)  
We acquired Landal GreenParks on May 5, 2004. Revenue generated by Landal prior to acquisition is not reflected in the revenue data presented herein and, therefore, the revenue data are not comparable. However, the number of cottage weeks sold for second quarter 2004 has been adjusted to include 42,402 cottage weeks sold by Landal so as to present comparable driver data.

Table 9
Cendant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
The accompanying press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, we have provided below the reasons we present these non-GAAP financial measures and a description of what they represent.
     
EBITDA
 
Represents 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. We believe that EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the aggregate performance of our operating businesses. EBITDA is the measure that is used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to perform such evaluation, and it is a factor in measuring performance in our incentive compensation plans. It is also a component of our financial covenant calculations under our credit facilities, subject to certain adjustments. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to pretax income is included in Table 1 and a reconciliation of pretax income to net income is included in Table 2, both of which accompany this press release.
 
   
Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio
 
Represents (i) net corporate debt (which reflects total corporate debt adjusted to assume the application of available cash to reduce outstanding indebtedness) divided by (ii) net capitalization (which reflects total capitalization also adjusted for the application of available cash). We believe that this ratio is useful in measuring the Company’s leverage and indicating the strength of its financial condition. We also believe that adjusting corporate debt to assume the application of available cash to reduce outstanding indebtedness eliminates the effect of timing differences relating to the use of debt proceeds. 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 Table 6, which accompanies this press release.
 
   
Free Cash Flow
 
Represents Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities adjusted to include the cash inflows and outflows relating to (i) capital expenditures, (ii) the investing and financing activities of our management programs, and (iii) asset sales. We believe that 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, and our presentation of Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the appropriate measure recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities) is presented in Table 8, which accompanies this press release.
 
   
Organic Growth
 
Represents the results of our reportable operating segments excluding the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. We believe that Organic Growth is useful to management and the Company’s investors in evaluating the operating performance of its reportable segments on a comparable basis. We also present Organic EBITDA growth excluding charges associated with the 2005 restructuring activities undertaken following the PHH spin-off and initial public offering of Wright Express. Our management believes this metric is useful in measuring the normalized performance of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The reconciliations of Organic revenue and EBITDA growth to the comparable measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles are presented in Table 3, which accompanies this press release.
 
   
2005 EPS from Continuing Operations before Transaction Related Charges
 
Represents EPS from Continuing Operations adjusted to exclude the non-cash impairment charge of $0.17 per share and restructuring and transaction-related costs of $0.03 per share. We believe that by providing the calculation of EPS from Continuing Operations both including and excluding these charges, we are enhancing an investor’s ability to analyze our financial results on a comparable basis, thereby providing greater transparency. We also believe that excluding the impairment charge is useful to investors because it is a non-cash charge directly resulting from the spin-off of PHH and will not recur in subsequent periods. EPS from Continuing Operations before Transaction Related Charges should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for EPS from Continuing Operations prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of EPS from Continuing Operations before Transaction Related Charges to the most comparable measure (EPS from Continuing Operations) recognized under generally accepted accounting principles is presented within the body of the accompanying press release.
