Real Estate Leader Posts 23% Higher Net Revenue of $1.3 Billion
August 11, 2010 // Franchising.com // PARSIPPANY, NJ, -- Realogy Corporation, a global leader in real estate and relocation services, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. Realogy's net revenue for the second quarter of $1.3 billion increased 23% compared to the same period in 2009. For the latest quarter, Realogy recorded net income attributable to the Company of $222 million. EBITDA before restructuring and other items for the quarter was $234 million, an improvement of $85 million year-over-year due to revenue gains, cost reductions and productivity increases. EBITDA for the quarter was $544 million, which included the benefit of $314 million related to the reduction in former parent legacy liabilities.
Realogy's core business drivers showed improvement during the second quarter. The number of home sale transactions increased 11% year-over-year at the Realogy Franchise Group (RFG) and 16% at NRT, the company-owned brokerage unit. The average home sale price increased in the second quarter by 5% at RFG and 12% at NRT compared to the second quarter of 2009. Cartus experienced a 40% increase in relocation initiations primarily due to increased volume from corporate clients including incremental business from the Primacy Relocation operations it acquired earlier this year. Title Resource Group had a decrease in its refinance title and closing units, which was partially offset by increases in purchase title and closing units and average price per closing unit.
"Clearly, Realogy had a strong second quarter, and we are pleased with our operating and financial results for the period," said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chief executive officer. "Looking forward, however, it is shaping up to be a difficult third quarter because of the expiration of the Homebuyer Tax Credit and an uncertain near-term outlook for the economy. The sales volume of open contracts for both our company-owned and franchise segments -- which are the leading indicator for closed and reported sales in the third quarter -- dropped sharply, down an average of 17% in June and July on a year-over-year basis. High affordability and near-record low mortgage rates alone cannot offset the impact of high unemployment and declining consumer confidence."
As a result of lower than forecasted industry sales levels in the second quarter and weakening third quarter prospects, the full-year industry outlook for 2010 is now relatively flat to 2009. In July and August, respectively, both Fannie Mae and the National Association of Realtors downwardly revised their forecasts for the full year. Currently, Fannie Mae and NAR are forecasting 2010 home sales to be flat to 2009 at 5.1 million units.
"While we are faced with a challenging housing market in the second half of 2010, Realogy will continue focusing on what we can control," added Smith. "This strategy includes executing on strategic growth opportunities while maintaining our focus on costs."
Balance Sheet Information and Covenant Compliance as of June 30, 2010:
The Company ended the second quarter with strong liquidity. Realogy had $239 million of readily available cash and no outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2010.
"The strong earnings and cash balances we achieved in the first half of 2010 should provide cushion to counter the weakening industry outlook for the second half of the year," said Anthony Hull, Realogy's chief financial officer.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company's senior secured leverage ratio was 4.34 to 1, which is below the 5.0 to 1 maximum ratio required to be in compliance with its Credit Agreement. The senior secured leverage ratio is determined by taking Realogy's senior secured net debt of $2.85 billion at June 30, 2010 and dividing it by the Company's Adjusted EBITDA of $656 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2010. The Adjusted EBITDA figure is unaffected by the legacy tax settlement discussed below. (Please see Tables 6 and 7 for a reconciliation of EBITDA before restructuring and other items, Adjusted EBITDA and net loss attributable to Realogy to EBITDA, and Table 8 for the definition of non-GAAP financial measures.)
Also, in early July we resolved a tax audit for the period 2003 to 2006 that we inherited from our former parent, Cendant Corporation. As a result of this settlement as well as other adjustments, we reduced our contingent liability balance from $505 million at year-end 2009 to $197 million at June 30, 2010. This amount includes the actual payments related to the settlement totaling $58 million. The tax audit settlement also resulted in approximately $110 million of non-cash tax expense in the second quarter.
As a result of the resolution of this matter, our related outstanding letter of credit of $446 million is expected to be reduced to approximately $150 million by the end of the current quarter.
A complete balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.
Realogy will hold a Webcast to review its second quarter 2010 results at 4:00 p.m. (EDT) today. The call will be hosted by CEO Richard A. Smith and CFO Anthony Hull. The conference call will be made available live via Webcast on the Investor Information section of the Realogy website. A replay of the Webcast will be available at www.realogy.com from August 10 through August 24.

(a) Net income (loss) attributable to Realogy consists of: (i) income of
$58 million for the third quarter of 2009; (ii) a loss of $46 million
for the fourth quarter of 2009; (iii) a loss of $197 million for the
first quarter of 2010; and (iv) income of $222 million for the second
quarter of 2010.
(b) EBITDA consists of: (i) $253 million for the third quarter of 2009;
(ii) $89 million for the fourth quarter of 2009; (iii) $11 million for
the first quarter of 2010 and (iv) $544 million for the second quarter
of 2010.
(c) Consists of $36 million of restructuring costs and $1 million of
merger costs offset by a net benefit of $301 million for former parent
legacy items.
(d) Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in
subsequent periods due to restructuring activities initiated during
the first six months of 2010. From this restructuring, we expect to
reduce our operating costs by approximately $14 million on a
twelve-month run-rate basis and estimate that $4 million of such
savings were realized from the time they were put in place. The
adjustment shown represents the impact the savings would have had on
the period from July 1, 2009 through the time they were put in place
had those actions been effected on July 1, 2009.
(e) Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in
subsequent periods due to restructuring activities initiated during
the year ended December 31, 2009. From this restructuring, we expect
to reduce our operating costs by approximately $103 million on a
twelve-month run-rate basis and estimate that $97 million of such
savings were realized from the time they were put in place. The
adjustment shown represents the impact the savings would have had on
the period from July 1, 2009 through the time they were put in place
had those actions been effected on July 1, 2009.
(f) Represents the twelve-month pro forma effect of business optimization
initiatives that have been completed to reduce costs of $18 million
as well as $28 million for employee retention accruals.
(g) Represents the elimination of non-cash expenses, including a $14
million write-down of a cost method investment acquired in 2006, $7
million of stock-based compensation expense, less $15 million for the
change in the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes reserves from
July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 and $1 million related to the
unrealized net gains on foreign currency transactions and foreign
currency forward contracts.
(h) Reflects the adjustment for the negative impact of fair value
adjustments for purchase accounting at the operating business segments
primarily related to deferred rent.
(i) Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and new franchisees
as if they had been acquired or signed on July 1, 2009. We have made
a number of assumptions in calculating such estimate and there can be
no assurance that we would have generated the projected levels of
EBITDA had we owned the acquired entities or entered into the
franchise contracts as of July 1, 2009.
(j) Represents the elimination of annual management fees payable to Apollo
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.
(k) Incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization
facilities refinancing for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.
(l) Represents the expenses incurred in connection with the Company's
unsuccessful debt refinancing activities principally in the third
quarter of 2009.
(m) Represents total borrowings under the senior secured credit facility
which are secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $3,075
million plus $13 million of capital lease obligations less $239
million of readily available cash as of June 30, 2010. Pursuant to
the terms of the senior secured credit agreement, senior secured net
debt does not include Second Lien Loans, other bank indebtedness not
secured by a first lien on our assets, securitization obligations or
Unsecured Notes.

Table 8
EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest (income) expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations) and income taxes. EBITDA before restructuring and other items is calculated by adjusting EBITDA by restructuring, legacy, and other items as described in Table 7 above. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA by the items described in Table 6 above. Adjusted EBITDA corresponds to the definition of "EBITDA," calculated on a "pro forma basis," used in the senior secured credit facility to calculate the senior secured leverage ratio and substantially corresponds to the definition of "EBITDA" used in the indentures governing the Unsecured Notes to test the permissibility of certain types of transactions, including debt incurrence. We present EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items because we believe EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. The EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to perform such evaluation, and Adjusted EBITDA is used in measuring compliance with debt covenants relating to certain of our borrowing arrangements. EBITDA, EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Adjusted 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 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, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. We further believe that EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an EBITDA measure when reporting their results.
EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider EBITDA either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
In addition to the limitations described above with respect to EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items, Adjusted EBITDA includes pro forma cost-savings and the pro forma full year effect of NRT acquisitions and RFG acquisitions/new franchisees. These adjustments may not reflect the actual cost-savings or pro forma effect recognized in future periods.
