NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(UNAUDITED)(Unaudited)

Note 1. BasisDescription of PresentationBusiness

Frontdoor is the leading provider of home service plans in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates primarily under the American Home Shield HSA, OneGuard and Landmark brands.brand. Our customizable home service plans help customers protect and maintain their homes, typically their most valuable asset, from costly and unplanned breakdowns of essential home systems and appliances. Our home service plan customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of more than 20 home systems and appliances, including electrical, plumbing, central HVAC systems, water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges/ovens/cooktops, as well as optional coverages for electronics, pools, spas and pumps. Our operationsFrontdoor also includeprovides a one-stop app for home repair and maintenance. Enabled by our ProConnect on-demand home services businessStreem technology, the app empowers homeowners by connecting them in real time through video chat with pre-qualified experts to diagnose and Streem, a technology platform that uses augmented reality, computer vision and machine learning to, among other things, helpsolve their problems. Additionally, Frontdoor now offers home service professionals more quickly and accurately diagnose breakdowns and complete repairs. Atplans under the Frontdoor brand. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had 2.22.1 million active home service plans across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

We recommend that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be readbrands in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of the results that might be achieved for a full year.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Changes in macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, global supply chain challenges and the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as they may affect existing home sales, interest rates, consumer confidence or labor availability, may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs and adversely impact our business. While these macroeconomic conditions generally impact the United States as a whole, we believe our nationwide presence limits the risk of poor economic conditions in any particular region of the United States.

During the first six months of 2022, our financial condition and results of operations were adversely impacted by the following:

The challenging home seller’s market, driven, in part, by extremely low home inventory levels, continued to constrain demand for home service plans in the first-year real estate channel.

Our contractors continued to be impacted by inflation, including higher labor, fuel and parts and equipment costs. We continue to take actions to mitigate these impacts, including increasing the share of parts and equipment our contractors source through us, increasing the percent of service requests completed by lower-cost preferred contractors and accelerating contractor recruitment efforts.

Industry-wide parts availability challenges continued to drive elevated appliance replacement levels due to lack of parts availability, further contributing to increased costs and adversely impacting the customer experience, which was reflected in our customer retention rate.

Due to labor availability challenges, we continued to experience workforce retention issues, including difficulties in hiring and retaining employees in customer service operations and throughout our business, and we believe our contractors are experiencing similar workforce challenges.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

The implications of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. Given the emergence of COVID-19 variants and surges in COVID-19 cases, a significant number of people may continue to spend greater time at home, which may result in a continued increase in usage of home systems and appliances and demand for our services and a resulting increase in service-related costs. We also expect that industry-wide supply chain challenges may continue to contribute to increased costs and impact the customer experience, which may affect customer retention. Accordingly, the COVID-19 situation remains very fluid, and we continue to adjust our response in real time. It remains difficult to predict the overall continuing impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business.

Basis of Presentation

We recommend that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2022 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be achieved for the respective full year.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This standard is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied prospectively to contract modifications. In March 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which extended the sunset date for the required transition to December 31, 2024. In March 2023, in connection with the planned phase-out of LIBOR, we amended our Credit Facilities to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement. We adopted ASU 2020-04 in connection with this transition of the benchmark rate under our Credit Agreement. This transition did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3. Revenue

The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home service plan agreementscontracts entered into with our customers. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States.

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major customer acquisition channels. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by major customer acquisition channel is as follows:

(1)First-year revenue only.

Our home service plan agreementscontracts have one performance obligation, which is to provide for the repair or replacement of essential home systems and appliances, as applicable per the contract. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Those costs bear a direct relationship to the fulfillment of our obligations under the contracts and are representative of the relative fair value of the services provided to the customer. As the costs to fulfill the obligations of the home service plans are incurred on an other-than-straight-line basis, we utilize historical evidence to estimate the expected claims expense and related timing of such costs.costs and make a corresponding adjustment each period to the timing of our related revenue recognition. This adjustment to the straight-line revenue creates a contract asset or contract liability, as described under the heading “Contract balances”Assets and Liabilities” below. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs and adjust ourthese estimates when appropriate. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States.

Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs to obtain a contract with a customer

We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, primarily sales commissions, and recognize the related expense using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract, over the expected customer relationship period. Deferred customer acquisition costs were $18$14 million and $16 million as of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. Amortization of these deferred customer acquisition costs was $5 million and $6 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 2021$8 million and $10 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021.respectively. There were 0no impairment losses in relationrelated to these capitalized costs.costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Contract balancesReceivables, Less Allowance

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contracts with customers, including contracts resulting from customer renewals, are generally for a period of one year. We record a receivable related to revenue recognized on servicesdue from customers once we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to the services provided. All accounts receivableprovided and anticipate the collection of amounts due to us. Contracts for home service plans may be invoiced upfront or monthly in straight-line installment payments over the contract period. The payment terms are recorded within Receivables, less allowances,determined prior to the execution of the contract.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets arise when we recognize revenue for our home service plan contracts prior to a customer being invoiced. These timing differences are created when the recognition of revenue in proportion to the accompanying condensed consolidated statementscosts expected to be incurred in performing the services under the contract are accelerated as compared to the recognition of financial position. We invoice our monthly-pay customersrevenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term. As a result, a contract asset is created when revenue is recognized on monthly-pay customers before being billed. Asperiod. Contract assets were $14 million as of June 30, 2022, a contract asset of $12 million was recorded related to the recognition of monthly-pay customer revenue on an other-than-straight-line basis to match the timing of cost recognition.2023.

DeferredOur contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue represents a contract liability andwhich is recognized when cash payments are received in advance of the performance of services, including when the amounts are refundable. Amounts are recognized as revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under our contracts. Deferred revenue was $126 million and $155 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

We have operating leases primarily for our corporate offices, customer service centers and engineering and technology campuses. Our leases have remaining lease terms ofranging from less than one year to 1312 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years. Renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease term. An incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of lease payments unless an implicit rate is readily determinable. Incremental borrowing rates are determined based on our secured borrowing rating and the lease term.

Note 6. Income Taxes

As required by ASC 740, weWe are subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was generated in the United States.

We compute interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. OurAs a result, our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter in accordance with ASC 740.quarter. The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 23.224.8 percent and 26.023.2 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 2021, respectively,24.9 percent and 25.1 percent and 24.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 compared to 2021 is2022 was primarily due to the impacts of share-based awards and a decrease in income tax credits, partially offset in part, by an increase in state income taxes. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021 is primarily due to share-based awards and state income taxes, offset, in part, by an increase in income tax credits.

We are subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was generated in the United States.

Note 7. Restructuring Charges

We incurred restructuring charges of $12less than $1 million ($9(less than $1 million, net of tax) and $1$12 million (less than $1($9 million, net of tax) for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, and $12$1 million ($91 million, net of tax) and $2$12 million ($19 million, net of tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the three and 2021, respectively.six months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring charges primarily include severance costs.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, restructuring charges primarily comprised an $11 million impairment charge related to our Memphisprior corporate headquarters facility operating lease right-of-use asset and leasehold improvements and $1 million of severance and other costs. The impairment was the result of vacating the facility with the intent to sublease.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, restructuring charges primarily comprised accelerated depreciation of certain technology systems driven by efforts to enhance our technological capabilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, restructuring charges comprised $1 million of accelerated depreciation of certain technology systems driven by efforts to enhance our technological capabilities and $1 million of severance and other costs.

The pre-tax charges discussed above are reported in “Restructuring charges” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

As of December 31, 2021,2022, there were less than $1$2 million of restructuring charges accrued, of which $1 million were paid or otherwise settled during the six months ended June 30, 2022.2023. As of June 30, 2022,2023, there were $1 million in accrued restructuring charges in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Accruals for home service plan claims are made using internal actuarial projections, which are based on current claims and historical claims experience. Accruals are established based on estimates of the ultimate cost to settle claims. Home service plan claims take approximately three months to settle, on average, and substantially all claims are settled within six months of incurrence. The amount of time required to settle a claim can vary based on a number of factors, including whether a replacement is ultimately required. In addition to our estimates, we engage a third-party actuary to perform an accrual analysis utilizing generally accepted actuarial methods that incorporate cumulative historical claims experience and information provided by us. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs along with the third-party analysis and adjust our estimates when appropriate. We believe the use ofthat utilizing actuarial methods in our estimation process to account for these liabilities provides a consistent and effective way to measure these judgmental accruals.

We have certain liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. We accrue for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified.

Due to the nature of our business activities, we are also at times subject to pending and threatened legal and regulatory actions that arise out of the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of any such matters is not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.

Note 13. Derivative Financial Instruments

We currently use a derivative financial instrument to manage risks associated with changes in interest rates.rates by hedging the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of an interest rate swap contract. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In designating derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments under accounting standards for derivative instruments, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. We assess at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the projected cash flows of the associated forecasted transaction.

We hedge the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of an interest rate swap agreement. Our interest rate swap contract is classified as a cash flow hedge, and, as such, it is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position as either an asset or liability at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in AOCI. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap contract are classified as operating activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

15


The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap contract is recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement affects earnings. See Note 1312 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI and for the amounts reclassified out of AOCI and into earnings.earnings during the periods presented. As the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, we estimate the unrealized hedging lossgain in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is less than 1$6 million, net of tax, as of June 30, 2022.2023. The amounts that are ultimately reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months will be determined based on the actual interest rates in effect at the time the positions are settled, and mayas a result, they could differ materially from the amountour estimate noted above.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements

We estimate fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. The valuation techniques require inputs that the business categorizes usingwe categorize into a three-level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets ("Level 1"); direct or indirect observable inputs, including quoted prices or other market data, for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets ("Level 2"); and unobservable inputs that require significant judgment for which there is little or no market data ("Level 3"). When multiple input levels are required for a valuation, we categorize the entire fair value measurement according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement, even though we may have also utilized significant inputs that are more readily observable.

The period-end carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because ofvalues due to the short maturityshort-term maturities of these financial instruments. TheAs of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amountamounts of our total debt was $617were $601 million and $625$609 million, respectively, and the estimated fair value wasvalues were $598 million and $613 million, and $630 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of our debt iswas estimated based on available market prices for the same or similar instruments that are considered significant other observable inputs (Level 2) within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values presented reflect the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value estimates presented in this report arehierarchy and was based on information available to us as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.the respective period end dates.

14


We determine the fair value of our interest rate swap contract using a forward interest rate curve obtained from a third-party market data provider. The fair value of the contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract interest rate to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between thethese two rates to the notional amount of debt in the interest rate swap contract.

We did not change our valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2022.2023. Transfers between hierarchy levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between hierarchy levels during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.2023.

Note 16. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options, performance options, RSUs, performance shares and RSAs are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.

Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

Macroeconomic Conditions

Changes inEvolving macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, global supply chain challenges and instability in the persistencebanking system as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,several recent regional bank failures, especially as they may affect existing home sales, interest rates, consumer confidence, consumer sentiment or labor availability, may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs and adversely impact our business. While these macroeconomic conditions generally impact the United States as a whole, we believe our nationwide presence limits the riskimpact on us of poorunfavorable economic conditions in any particular region of the United States.

20

19


During the first six months of 2022,ended June 30, 2023, our financial condition and results of operations werecontinued to be adversely impacted by the following:

The challenging home seller’s market, driven, in part, by a decline in the number of home resale transactions combined with extremely low home inventory levels and rising interest rates, continued to constrain demand for home service plans in the first-year real estate channel.

Consumer sentiment remains pressured as higher inflation eroded real personal income. We believe this environment, combined with our higher prices for a home service plan, impacted our ability to add customers, especially in the direct-to-consumer channel.

Our contractors continued to be impacted by inflation, including higher labor, fuel and parts and equipment costs.costs and labor availability challenges. We continue to take actions to mitigate these impacts, including increasing the percent of service requests completed by lower-cost preferred contractors, increasing the share of parts and equipment our contractors source through us increasing the percent of service requests completed by lower-cost preferred contractorsat lower costs and accelerating contractor recruitment efforts.

Industry-wide parts and equipment availability challenges continuedhas returned to drive elevated appliance replacementpre-pandemic levels; however, inflation levels due to lack of parts availability, further contributing to increased costs and adversely impactingfor the customer experience, which was reflected in our customer retention rate.

Due to labor availability challenges, we continued to experience workforce retention issues, including difficulties in hiring and retaining employees in customer service operations and throughout our business, and we believe our contractors are experiencing similar workforce challenges.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

The implications of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. Given the emergence of COVID-19 variants and surges in COVID-19 cases, a significant number of people may continue to spend greater time at home, which may result in a continued increase in usage of home systems and appliances and demand for our services and a resulting increase in service-related costs. We also expect that industry-wide supply chain challenges may continue to contribute to increased costs and impact the customer experience, which may affect customer retention. Accordingly, the COVID-19 situation remains very fluid, and we continue to adjust our response in real time. It remains difficult to predict the overall continuing impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business.period remained high.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which drivesdrive variations in our revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for interim periods. Seasonal fluctuations are primarily driven by a higher number of central HVAC work orders in the summer months. In 2021, we continued to experience additional variations as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an elevated level of service requests in the appliance trade compared to pre-pandemic levels as our customers spent more time at home. In 2021,2022, approximately 21 percent, 29 percent, 29 percent and 21 percent of our revenue, approximately 4two percent, 3147 percent, 6039 percent and 512 percent of our net income, and approximately 12 percent, 3836 percent, 4137 percent and 915 percent of our Adjusted EBITDA was recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.

Effect of Weather Conditions

The demand for our services, and our results of operations, are affected by weather conditions. Extreme temperatures, typically in the winter and summer months, can lead to an increase in service requests related to home systems, particularly central HVAC systems, resulting in higher claim frequency and costs and lower profitability. For example, contract claims costs were unfavorably impacted byprofitability, while mild temperatures in the extremely hot weather across the country during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021. Weather conditions that have a potentially favorable impact to our business include mild winterswinter or summers, whichsummer months can lead to lower home systems claim frequency.frequency, resulting in lower costs and higher profitability. For example, favorable weather trends in the first six months of 2023 as compared to the first six months of 2022 resulted in a lower number of service requests per customer, which favorably impacted contract claims costs.

While weather variations as described above may affect our business, major weather events and other similar Acts of God, or natural disasters such as typhoons, hurricanes, flooding and tornadoes or earthquakes, typically do not increase our obligations to provide service. Generally, repairs associated with such isolated events are addressed by homeowners’ and other forms of insurance as opposed to the home service plans that we offer.

Tariff and Import/Export Regulations

Changes in U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may impact the costs of parts, appliances and home systems. Import duties or restrictions on components and raw materials that are imposed, or the perception that they could occur, may materially and adversely affect our business by increasing our costs. For example, rising costs due to blanket tariffs on imported steel and aluminum could increase the costs of our parts, appliances and home systems.

21


Competition

We compete in the U.S. home service plan category and the broader U.S. home services industry. The home service plan category is highly competitive. While we have a broad range of competitors in each locality and region, we are the only home service plan company providing home service plans nationwide. The broader U.S. home services industry is also highly competitive. We compete against businesses providing on-demand home services directly and those offering leads to contractors seeking to provide on-demand home services. The principal methods of competition, and by which we differentiate ourselves from our competitors, are quality and speed of service, contract offerings, brand awareness and reputation, customer satisfaction, pricing and promotions, contractor network and referrals. We believe our nationwide network of approximately 15,000 pre-qualified professional contractor firms, in combination with our large base of contracted customers, differentiate us from other platforms in the home services industry.

20


Acquisition Activity

We anticipate that the highly fragmented nature of the home service plan category will continue to create strategic opportunities for acquisitions. Historically, we have used acquisitions to cost-effectively grow our customer base in high-growth geographies, and we intend to continue to do so. We may also explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions that will expand our service offering in the broader home services industry. We have also used acquisitions to enhance our technological capabilities and geographic presence. InFor example, in 2019, we acquired Streem to support theenable home service experience for ourprofessionals to more efficiently interact with customers reduce costs and create potentially new revenue opportunities acrosscomplete repairs, and, in 2020, we acquired a variety of channels.business to expand on-demand home services via its intellectual capital and know-how, technology platform capabilities and geographic presence.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. We present within this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. See “ResultsResults of Operations — Operations—Adjusted EBITDA” for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and “LiquidityLiquidity and Capital Resources — Resources—Free Cash Flow” for a reconciliation of net cash provided from operating activities to Free Cash Flow, as well as “Key Business Metrics” for further discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors, analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our business performance as they facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons. Management believes 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. While we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and are 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, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Key Business Metrics

We focus on a variety of indicators and key operating and financial metrics to monitor the financial condition and performance of the continuing operations of our business. These metrics include:

revenue,

operating expenses,

net income,

earnings per share,

Adjusted EBITDA,

Adjusted EBITDA margin,

net cash provided from operating activities,

Free Cash Flow,

growth in number of home service plans, and

customer retention rate.

Revenue. The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home service plan agreementscontracts entered into with our customers. Home service plan contracts are typically one year in duration. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Our revenue is primarily a function of the volume and pricing of the services provided to our customers, as well as the mix of services provided. Our revenue volume is impacted by new home service plan sales, customer retention and acquisitions. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States.

22


Operating Expenses. In addition to changes in our revenue, our operating results are affected by, among other things, the level of our operating expenses. Our operating expenses primarily include contract claims costs and expenses associated with sales and marketing, customer service and general corporate overhead. A number of our operating expenses are subject to inflationary pressures, such as: salaries and wages, employee benefits and healthcare; contractor costs; parts, appliances and home systems costs; tariffs; insurance premiums; and various regulatory compliance costs.

21


Net Income and Earnings Per Share. The presentation of net income and basic and diluted earnings per share provides measures of performance which are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties in company-to-company operating performance comparisons. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, RSUs,performance options (which are stock options that become exercisable upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable performance goals, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the award agreement), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares (which are contractual rights to receive a share of our common stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable performance goals, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the award agreement) and RSAsrestricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. We evaluate our operating and financial performance primarily based primarily on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 define “Adjusted EBITDA margin” as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as they facilitate 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.

Net Cash Provided from Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow. We focus on measures designed to monitor cash flow, including net cash provided from operating activities and Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow which is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and represents net cash provided from operating activities less property additions.

Growth in Number of Home Service Plans and Customer Retention Rate. We report on our growth (reduction) in number of home service plans and customer retention rate in order to track the performanceas measurements of our business. Home service plans represent our recurring customer base, which includes customers with active contracts for recurring services. Our customer retention rate is calculated as the ratio of ending home service plans to the sum of beginning home service plans, new home service plan sales and acquired accounts for the applicable period.operating performance. These measuresmeasurements are presented on a rolling 12-month basis in order to avoid seasonal anomalies. The number of home service plans is representative of our recurring home service plan customer base and is measured as the number of customers with active contracts as of the respective period-end date. Our customer retention rate is calculated as the ratio of the number of end-of-period home service plan contracts to the sum of the number of beginning-of-period home service plan contracts and the number of new home service plan sales and acquired accounts during the respective period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 20212022 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies for the six months ended June 30, 2022, certain of which are described below.2023.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are subject to assessment for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently, if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. As of June 30, 2022, we do not believe there are any circumstances, including those related to COVID-19, that would indicate a potential impairment of our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We will continue to monitor the macroeconomic impacts on our business in our ongoing evaluation of potential impairments.

During the third quarter of 2022, we will continue our evaluation of the long-term plan for the Streem reporting unit. We will be more focused on integrating Streem’s technology into the core business and will be less focused on selling this technology platform to third-party customers; therefore, an impairment of goodwill and intangible assets at Streem is reasonably possible.

The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 compared to 2021 is2022 was primarily due to the impacts of share-based awards and a decrease in income tax credits, partially offset in part, by an increase in state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

A substantial portion of our liquidity needs are due to debt service requirements on our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit or restrict our ability, including the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, repurchase debt, incur liens, sell assets, make certain payments (including dividends) and enter into transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we were in compliance with the covenants under the agreements that were in effect on such date. Based on current conditions, weCredit Agreement. We do not believe the COVID-19 pandemiccurrent macroeconomic conditions will affect our ongoing ability to meet the covenants in our debt instruments, including our Credit Agreement.covenants.

28


Cash and cash equivalents totaled $269$344 million and $262$292 million as of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents include balances associated with regulatory requirements in our business. See “—Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries.” As of June 30, 2022,2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the total net assets subject to these third-party restrictions was $159were $158 million and $175$145 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022,2023, there werewas $2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our $250 million Revolving Credit Facility, and $248 million ofthe available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.Facility was $248 million. The letters of credit are posted in lieu of cash to satisfy regulatory requirements in certain states in which we operate. Available liquidity was $357 million at June 30, 2022, consisting of $109 million of cash not subject to third-party restrictions and $248 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. We currently believe that cash generated from operations, our cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at as of June 30, 20222023 will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations in the short- and long-term.

In March 2023, in connection with the planned phase-out of LIBOR, we amended our Credit Facilities to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement. This change was effective in March 2023 for Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility and in June 2023 for Term Loan B.

We closely monitor the performance of our investment portfolio.portfolio, primarily cash deposits. From time to time, we review the statutory reserve requirements to which our regulated entities are subject and any changes to such requirements. These reviews may result in identifying current reserve levels above or below minimum statutory reserve requirements, in which case we may adjust our reserves. The reviews may also identify opportunities to satisfy certain regulatory reserve requirements through alternate financial vehicles.

We have a diversified investment strategy for our cash investments, and look for opportunities to improve their performance, by diversifying these financial instruments among various counterparties, with priority given for the major financial institutions that serve as lenders under the Credit Agreement. Generally, our cash deposits may be redeemed on demand and are maintained with major financial institutions with solid credit ratings, although our holdings exceed insured limits in substantially all of our accounts.

29


We may, from time to time, repurchase or otherwise retire or extend our debt and/or take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position, gross leverage, results of operations or cash flows. These actions may include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of outstanding debt and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, and the price of such repurchases, retirements or refinancings will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

On September 7, 2021, we announced a three-year repurchase authorization of up to $400 million of outstanding shares of our common stock. We expect to fund the share repurchases from net cash provided from operating activities. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we have purchasedrepurchased a total of 4,478,1945,552,053 outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $162$195 million, under this program, which is included in treasury stock on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. position, and had $205 million remaining available for future repurchases under this program. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made from time to time by the company in the open market at prevailing market prices (including through a Rule 10b5-1 Plan), in privately negotiated transactions, or through any combination of these methods, through September 3, 2024. The actual timing, number, manner and value of any shares repurchased will depend on several factors, including the market price of the company’s stock, general market and economic conditions, the company’s liquidity requirements, applicable legal requirements and other business considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any number of shares in any specific period or at all and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.

Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries

We depend on our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us so that we may pay obligations and expenses, including satisfying obligations with respect to indebtedness. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions and dividends to us depends on their operating results, cash requirements, financial condition and general business conditions, as well as restrictions under the laws of our subsidiaries’ jurisdictions.

Our subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to us.

29


Furthermore, there are third-party restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us. These restrictions are related to regulatory requirements. The payments of ordinary and extraordinary dividends by certain of our subsidiaries (through which we conduct our business) are subject to significant regulatory restrictions under the laws and regulations of the states in which they operate. Among other things, such laws and regulations require certain subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital and net worth requirements and may limit the amount of ordinary and extraordinary dividends and other payments that these subsidiaries can pay to us. We expect that such limitations will be in effect for the foreseeable future. In Texas, we are relieved of the obligation to post 75 percent of our otherwise required reserves because we operate a captive insurer approved by Texas regulators in order to satisfy such obligations. None of our subsidiaries are obligated to make funds available to us through the payment of dividends.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided from operating activities was $94$112 million and $119$94 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and 2021,, respectively.

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 comprised $117 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges, offset, in part, by $5 million in cash used for working capital. Cash used for working capital was primarily driven by a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans, which are typically paid for upfront at the time of closing on the home sale, offset, in part, by seasonality.

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 comprised $68 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $26 million in cash provided from working capital. Cash provided from working capital was primarily driven by seasonality.

30


Net cash provided from operating activities in 2021 comprised $112 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and an $8 million decrease in cash required for working capital. The decrease in cash required for working capital was driven by seasonality and growth in our underlying business, offset, in part, by interest payments made in connection with the redemption of the 2026 Notes.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $19$15 million and $15$19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and 2021, respectively..

Capital expenditures were $19$15 million and $15$19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and 2021,, respectively, and included recurring capital needs and technology projects. We expect capital expenditures for the full year 20222023 relating to recurring capital needs and the continuation of investments in information systems and productivity enhancing technology to be approximately $4035 million to $50$45 million. We have no additional material capital commitments at this time.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities was $69$44 million and $378$69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we made scheduled principal payment of debt of $8 million and 2021, respectively.purchased outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $34 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we made scheduled principal payments of debt and finance lease obligations of $8 million and purchased outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $59 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, as part of our debt reduction and refinancing activities in 2021, we borrowed $638 million, net of discount, under the Term Loan Facilities and redeemed the remaining outstanding principal amounts of $634 million of the Prior Term Loan Facility and $350 million of the 2026 Notes. In connection with the repayments, we paid a “make-whole” redemption premium of $21 million on the 2026 Notes and debt issuance costs of $8 million.

Other long-term liabilities decreased duringplans, which are typically paid for upfront at the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due totime of closing on the change in the valuation of our interest rate swap.home sale.

Total shareholders’ equity was $6$131 million as of June 30, 20222023 compared to $2$61 million as of December 31, 2021.2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changes in macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, global supply chain challenges and the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on existing home sales, interest rates, consumer confidence, labor availability, insurance costs and medical costs could have a material adverse impact on future results of operations.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manage this exposure through the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing an interest rate swap. There have been no material changes to the market risk associated with debt obligations and other significant instruments from the risks described in Part II, Item 7A in our 20212022 Form 10-K.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On July 28, 2023, our board of directors approved and adopted amended and restated bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective the same day. Among other things, the Amended and Restated Bylaws update certain provisions of Article I, Sections 1.05 and 1.12 regarding the procedure and disclosure required in connection with stockholder director nominations, including to address newly adopted Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act. Such updates include, without limitation, requiring (i) a nominating stockholder to use a proxy card color other than white, which color is reserved for the exclusive use by the board, (ii) a nominating stockholder to represent whether it intends to solicit proxies in accordance with Rule 14a-19 and to provide reasonable evidence that it has satisfied Rule 14a-19, and (iii) additional background information and disclosures regarding, among other things, nominating stockholders, proposed director candidates, and other persons related to a stockholder’s solicitation of proxies. The Amended and Restated Bylaws also reflect updates to the provisions relating to adjournment procedures and lists of stockholders entitled to vote at stockholder meetings, in each case, to reflect recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law, as well as other administrative and conforming changes, including the deletion of provisions related to our prior classified board structure.

As a result of the amendments affected by the Amended and Restated Bylaws, with respect to the 2024 Annual Meeting of stockholders and future annual meetings, to be considered timely, the information required to be submitted by stockholders in accordance with Rule 14a-19 in connection with the solicitation of proxies in support of director nominees other than the company’s nominees must be received by the Corporate Secretary of the company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that (x) the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 70 days from such anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting or (y) no annual meeting was held during the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Therefore, with respect to the 2024 Annual Meeting, such nomination and related information required under the Amended and Restated Bylaws must be received by the company on or after January 12, 2024 but no later than February 11, 2024.

The foregoing description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
