Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
We operate in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, we believe that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on us in terms of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: current and future health and stability of the economy, financial conditions, and residential housing market, and changes in general economic and financial conditions (including federal monetary policy, interest rate changes,rates, inflation, home price appreciationfluctuations and housing inventory); our investment inof resources to pursue strategies and develop new products and services that may not prove effective or that are not attractive for customers and real estate partners; the duration and impact of public health crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic (including variants) on our ability to operate, demand for our products or services or general economic conditions; disruptions in operations and relationships with customers, suppliers, vendors, broker partners, contractors, employees, lenders and consumers given our decision to wind down iBuying operations; unanticipated developments that may prevent, delay or increase the costs associated with our wind down activities; addition or loss of a significant number of customers; our ability to successfully integrate and realize the benefits of our past or future strategic partnerships, acquisitions, business combinations or investments; our ability to manage advertising inventory or pricing; engagement and usage of our products; competition and innovation in our markets; actual or anticipated changes in technology, products, markets or services by us or our competitors; our ability to maintain or establish relationships with listings and data providers; our ability to obtain or maintain licenses and permits to support our current and future businesses; our ability to operate and grow our mortgage origination business, including the ability to obtain sufficient financing and resell originated mortgages on the secondary market; changes in laws or government regulation affecting our business; outcomes of legal proceedings; natural disasters and other catastrophic events; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel; protection of customers’ information and other privacy concerns; protection of our brand and intellectual property; and intellectual property infringement and other claims, among other things.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Zillow Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in Zillow Group, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 10, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements of Zillow Group, Inc. as of that date.date, adjusted for the reclassification of discontinued operations discussed in Note 3.

TableTable of Contents
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and our results of operations, comprehensive income,loss, and shareholders’ equity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for the three monthsnine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, or for any interim period, or for any other future year.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the condensed consolidated statements of operationsNotes to conform data for prior periodsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the current format. Beginning withCompany’s continuing operations and does not include the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, we presented a gross profit subtotal in our condensed consolidated statementsresults of operations, which requires certain depreciation expense and amortization expense to be included within cost of revenue. We believe the presentation of gross profit is preferable as it facilitates investors’ ability to model across our segments and enhances comparability with our public company peers. To effect the presentation of gross profit, we present the amortization expense for certain intangible assets and data acquisition costs within cost of revenue and have reclassified certain amounts in prior periods in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from technology and development expenses to cost of revenue. Additionally, we reclassified the amortization expense for trade names and trademarks and customer relationship intangible assets from technology and development expenses to sales and marketing expenses. This change has no impact on income from operations or net income.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounting for certain revenue offerings, the net realizable value of inventory, restructuring costs, amortization period and recoverability of contract cost assets, website and software development costs, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets, share-based compensation, income taxes, the presentation of discontinued and continuing operations, business combinations and the recoverability of goodwill, among others. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The health of the residential housing market, interest rate environment and the COVID-19 pandemic and our wind down of Zillow Offers operations have introduced significant additional uncertainty with respect to estimates, judgments and assumptions, which may materially impact the estimates previously listed, among others.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, the guidance removes the liability and equity separation models for convertible instruments. Instead, entities will account for convertible debt instruments wholly as debt unless convertible instruments contain features that require bifurcation as a derivative or that result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. The guidance also requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and can be adopted on either a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach whereby amounts previously reported have not been revised. Upon adoption we recognized a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $492 million, an increase to long-term debt of $336 million and a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $156 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In October 2021,June 2022, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance which requires contract assetsto improve existing measurement and contract liabilities acquired indisclosure requirements for equity securities that are subject to a business combination to be recognized and measured in accordance with guidance governing revenue from contracts with customers. We currently recognize contract assets and contract liabilities at the acquisition date based on fair value estimates, which historically has resulted in a reduction to unearned revenue on the balance sheet, and therefore, a reduction to revenue that would have otherwise been recorded as an independent entity. Thecontractual sale restriction. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 20222023 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2023.2024. We are currently evaluatinghave not yet determined the potential impact the adoption of thethis guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 3. Discontinued Operations

Zillow Offers Wind Down
In November 2021, the Board of Directors of Zillow Group made the determination to wind down Zillow Offers operations, and the financial results of Zillow Offers have historically been reported within our Homes segment. This decision was made in light of home pricing unpredictability, capacity constraints and other operational challenges faced by Zillow Offers that were exacerbated by an unprecedented housing market, a global pandemic and a difficult labor and supply chain environment, all of which led us to conclude that, despite its initial promise in earlier quarters, Zillow Offers was unlikely to be a sufficiently stable line of business to meet our goals going forward.
The wind down of Zillow Offers was complete as of September 30, 2022, at which time Zillow Offers met the criteria for discontinued operations. We have presented the assets and liabilities and results of operations, excluding allocation of any general corporate expenses, of Zillow Offers for all periods presented as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. No assets or liabilities were classified as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2022.

The remaining liability balance associated with such restructuring charges as of September 30, 2022 is not material.
Note 3.4. Fair Value Measurements
We apply the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value measurements:
Cash equivalents — The fair value measurement of money market funds is based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1). The fair value measurement of other cash equivalents is based on observable market-based inputs principally derived from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2).
Short-term investments — The fair value measurement of our short-term investments is based on observable market-based inputs or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2).
Restricted cash — The carrying value of restricted cash approximates fair value due to the short period of time amounts are borrowed on our credit facilities, home sales proceeds are held in restricted accounts associated with our credit facilities and securitizations, and amounts are held in escrow (Level 1).
Mortgage loans held for sale — The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics (Level 2).
11

Table of Contents
Forward contracts — The fair value of mandatory loan sales commitments and derivative instruments such as forward sales of mortgage-backed securities that are utilized as economic hedging instruments is calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets (Level 2).
Interest rate lock commitments — The fair value of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) is calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics. Expired commitments are excluded from the fair value measurement. Since not all IRLCs will become closed loans, we adjust our fair value measurements for the estimated amount of IRLCs that will not close. This adjustment is effected through the pull-through rate, which represents the probability that an interest rate lock commitmentIRLC will ultimately result in a closed loan. For IRLCs that are cancelled or expire, any recorded gain or loss is reversed at the end of the commitment period (Level 3).

The following table presents the range and weighted-average pull-through rates used in determining the fair value of IRLCs as of the dates presented:

Beneficial interestsWarrant In July 2022, we entered into a warrant agreement in securitizations conjunction with a commercial agreement with a publicly traded company that vests, subject to meeting certain conditions, over a period of five years. The warrant is accounted for as a derivative instrument recorded at fair value with gains and losses recognized in other income, net in our condensed consolidated statements of beneficial interests in securitizationsoperations. The warrant is calculated using a discounted cash flow methodology. We rely on significant unobservable valuation inputs as the investments do not trade in active markets with readily observable prices and there is limited observable market data for reference. The primary unobservable inputs include the assumptions related to the expected timing and amount of prepayments and the discount rate of approximately 8% applied to the projected cash flows (Level 3). An increase in the amount of prepayments, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. The beneficial interests in securitizations are recorded within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Assheet as of March 31,September 30, 2022. The fair value measurement is adjusted for the estimated amount of tranches that will not vest. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we have includedrecorded a loss of $4 million in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the impactchange in fair value of the expected full prepayment of both beneficial interests during the second quarter of 2022 due to the wind down of Zillow Offers operations.warrant (Level 3).

Note 6. Contract Balances
Contract assets were $101$80 million and $78 million as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Contract assets represent amounts for which we have recognized revenue for contracts that have not yet been invoiced to our customers. Contract assets are primarily related to our Premier Agent Flex, rentals pay per leaseZillow Lease Connect and StreetEasy Experts offerings, whereby we estimate variable consideration based on the expected number of real estate transactions to be closed for Premier Agent Flex and StreetEasy Experts, and qualified leases to be secured for rentals pay per lease.Zillow Lease Connect. We recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations under the corresponding contracts. StreetEasy Experts is our pay for performance pricing model available in the New York City market for which agents and brokers are provided with leads at no initial cost and pay a performance advertisingreferral fee only when a real estate purchase transaction is closed with one of the leads. Under the StreetEasy Experts pricing model, the transaction price represents variable consideration, as the amount to which we expect to be entitled varies based on the number of leads that convert into real estate transactions and the value of those transactions. We record a corresponding contract asset for the estimate of variable consideration for StreetEasy Experts when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable. Contract assets are recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue of $45$50 million and $47$51 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the respectiverelated period.

Note 9. Acquisition
Acquisition of ShowingTime.com, Inc.
On September 30, 2021, Zillow Group acquired ShowingTimeShowingTime.com, Inc. (“ShowingTime”) in exchange for approximately $512 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. Our acquisition of ShowingTime has been accounted for as a business combination, and assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their preliminary estimated fair values as of September 30, 2021. Goodwill, which represents the expected synergies from combining the acquired assets and the operations of the acquirer, as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, is measured as of the acquisition date as the excess of consideration transferred, which is also measured at fair value, and the net of the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.
The total preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The total preliminary purchase price was allocated as follows (in millions):
Cash and cash equivalents$15 
Identifiable intangible assets111

Estimated Fair ValueEstimated Weighted-Average Useful Life (in years)
Customer relationships$55 8
Developed technology47 4
Trade names and trademarks10
Total$111 
We used an income approach to measure the fair value of the customer relationships based on the excess earnings method, whereby the fair value is estimated based upon the present value of cash flows that the applicable asset is expected to generate. We used an income approach to measure the fair value of the developed technology and the trade names and trademarks based on the relief-from-royalty method. These fair value measurements were based on Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
Our estimates and assumptions related to the purchase price allocation are preliminary and subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as we finalize the amount of goodwill and deferred taxes recorded in connection with the acquisition.
Acquisition-related costs incurred, which primarily included legal, accounting and other external costs directly related to the acquisition, are included within acquisition-related costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and were expensed as incurred.
Unaudited pro forma earnings information has not been presented as the effects were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state), Canada and Serbia. As of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have provided a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets that we believe, based on the weight of available evidence, are not more likely than not to be realized.

We have accumulated state tax losses of approximately $73 million (tax effected) as of December 31, 2021.
Our income tax expense or benefit for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account for the relevant period. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate on a quarterly basis and make year-to-date adjustments to the tax provision or benefit, as applicable. We recorded an income tax benefit of $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and an income tax benefitexpense of $3 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 primarily driven by state taxes, and an income tax benefit of $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily related todriven by state income taxes.taxes and the decrease in the valuation allowance associated with our September 2021 acquisition of ShowingTime.

Note 14. Share-Based Awards
In addition toDuring the first quarter of 2022, in connection with the 2021 annual review cycle, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved option awards and restricted stock units typically grantedunit awards under the Zillow Group, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), a portion of which vest quarterly over four years, during the three months ended March 31,and a portion of which vest quarterly over a one year period beginning in May 2022. On August 3, 2022, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, of the Board of Directors approved option anda supplemental grant of restricted stock unit awardsunits to eligible employees. The supplemental restricted stock units were granted under the 2020 Plan in connection with the 2021 annual review cycle thaton August 8, 2022 and vest quarterly over one year.a two-year period beginning in August 2022. The exercisability and settlement terms of these equity awards are otherwise consistent with the terms of the option awards and restricted stock units typically granted under the 2020 Plan.
When determining the grant date fair value of share-based awards, management considers whether an adjustment is required to the observable market price or volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock or Class C capital stock used in the valuation as a result of material non-public information. For additional information regarding our share-based awards, see Note 16 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Option Award Repricing
On August 3, 2022, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved adjustments to the exercise price of certain outstanding vested and unvested option awards for eligible employees. The exercise price of eligible option awards was reduced to $38.78, which was the closing market price of our Class C capital stock on August 8, 2022. No other changes were made to the terms and conditions of the eligible option awards.
We have accounted for the reprice of the eligible option awards as an equity modification whereby the incremental fair value attributable to the repriced option awards, as measured on the date of reprice, will be recognized as additional share-based compensation expense. The reprice impacted 7 million stock option awards, affected 3,348 employees and is expected to result in incremental share-based compensation expense of $66 million in total, of which $29 million was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022, including amounts associated with vested awards. The remaining expense will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the original awards.

Note 15. Net IncomeLoss Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares (including Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C capital stock) outstanding during the period. In the calculation of basic net income per share, undistributed earnings are allocated assuming all earnings during the period were distributed.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares (including Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C capital stock) outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive Class A common stock and Class C capital stock equivalents, except in cases where the effect of the Class A common stock or Class C capital stock equivalent would be antidilutive. Potential Class A common stock and Class C capital stock equivalents consist of Class A common stock and Class C capital stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and Class A common stock and Class C capital stock underlying unvested restricted stock units and Class C capital stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible senior notes.
Class A common stock and Class C capital stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and Class A common stock and Class C capital stock underlying unvested restricted stock units are calculated using the treasury stock method.
We have applied the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the outstanding convertible notes on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The following table presents the maximum number of shares and conversion price per share of Class C capital stock for each of the Notes based on the aggregate principal amount outstanding as of March 31, 2022 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
We have entered into IRLCs with prospective borrowers under our mortgage origination business whereby we commit to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and at a specific interest rate to the borrower. These commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value. For additional information regarding our IRLCs, see Note 34 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Lease Commitments
We have entered into various non-cancelable operating lease agreements for certain of our office space and equipment with original lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2032. For additional information regarding our lease agreements, see Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

These balances amounted to $3 millionwere not material as of September 30, 2022 and $55 million respectively, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.2021, and pertain to discontinued operations.
Letters of Credit
As of March 31,September 30, 2022, we have outstanding letters of credit of approximately $16 million which secure our lease obligations in connection with certain of our office space operating leases.
Surety Bonds
In the course of business, we are required to provide financial commitments in the form of surety bonds to third parties as a guarantee of our performance on and our compliance with certain obligations. If we were to fail to perform or comply with these obligations, any draws upon surety bonds issued on our behalf would then trigger our payment obligation to the surety bond issuer. We have outstanding surety bonds issued for our benefit of approximately $13 million and $12 million, respectively, as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Legal Proceedings
We are involved in a number of legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities, some of which are at preliminary stages and some of which seek an indeterminate amount of damages. We regularly evaluate the status of legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred to determine if accruals are appropriate. We further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made if accruals are not appropriate. For certain cases described below, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss because, among other reasons, (i) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; (ii) specific damages have not been sought; (iii) damages sought are, in our view, unsupported and/or exaggerated; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (vi) there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories presented. For these cases, however, management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcomes of these proceedings will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow. For the matters discussed below, we have not recorded any material accruals as of March 31,September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

In August and September 2017, 2two purported class action lawsuits were filed against us and certain of our executive officers, alleging, among other things, violations of federal securities laws on behalf of a class of those who purchased our common stock between February 12, 2016 and August 8, 2017. One of those purported class actions, captioned Vargosko v. Zillow Group, Inc. et al, was brought in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The other purported class action lawsuit, captioned Shotwell v. Zillow Group, Inc. et al, was brought in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The complaints allege, among other things, that during the period between February 12, 2016 and August 8, 2017, we issued materially false and misleading statements regarding our business practices. The complaints seek to recover, among other things, alleged damages sustained by the purported class members as a result of the alleged misconduct. In November 2017, an amended complaint was filed against us and certain of our executive officers in the Shotwell v. Zillow Group purported class action lawsuit, extending the beginning of the class period to November 17, 2014. In January 2018, the Vargosko v. Zillow Group purported class action lawsuit was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and consolidated with the Shotwell v. Zillow Group purported class action lawsuit. In February 2018, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, and in April 2018, we filed our motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. In October 2018, our motion to dismiss was granted without prejudice, and in November 2018, the plaintiffs filed a second consolidated amended complaint, which we moved to dismiss in December 2018. On April 19, 2019, our motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended complaint was denied. On October 11, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification which was granted by the court on October 28, 2020. On February 17, 2021, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied our petition for review of that decision.

In October and November 2017 and January and February 2018, 4four shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, against certain of our executive officers and directors seeking unspecified damages on behalf of the Company and certain other relief, such as reform to corporate governance practices. The plaintiffs in the derivative suits (in which the Company is a nominal defendant) allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with oversight of the Company’s public statements and legal compliance, and as a result of the breach of such fiduciary duties, the Company was damaged, and defendants were unjustly enriched. Certain of the plaintiffs also allege, among other things, violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and waste of corporate assets. On February 5, 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington consolidated the 2two federal shareholder derivative lawsuits pending in that court. On February 16, 2018, the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, consolidated the 2two shareholder derivative lawsuits pending in that court. All 4four of the shareholder derivative lawsuits were stayed until our motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended complaint in the securities class action lawsuit discussed above was denied in April 2019. On July 8, 2019, the plaintiffs in the consolidated federal derivative lawsuit filed a consolidated shareholder derivative complaint, which we moved to dismiss on August 22, 2019. On February 28, 2020, our motion to dismiss the consolidated federal shareholder derivative complaint was denied. On February 16, 2021, the court in the consolidated state derivative matter stayed the action. On March 5, 2021, a new shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against certain of our executive officers and directors seeking unspecified damages on behalf of the Company and certain other relief, such as reform to corporate governance practices, alleging, among other things, violations of federal securities laws. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington formally consolidated the new lawsuit with the other consolidated federal shareholder derivative lawsuit pending in that court on June 15, 2021. The defendants intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and vigorously defend the claims in this consolidated lawsuit. We do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss will be incurred related to these derivative matters.

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, we are involved in litigation and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot be certain of the outcome of any such litigation or claims, nor the amount of damages and exposure that we could incur, we currently believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters. For additional information regarding our indemnifications, see Note 18 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Note 17. Segment Information and Revenue
We have 3three operating and reportable segments, which have been identified based on the way in which our chief operating decision-maker manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The chief executive officer acts as the chief operating decision-maker and reviews financial and operational information for the Homes, IMTInternet, Media & Technology (“IMT”), Mortgages and MortgagesHomes segments.
The Homes segment includes the financial results from Zillow Group’s purchase and sale of homes directly through Zillow Offers and the financial results from title and escrow services performed by Zillow Closing Services primarily in connection with the purchase and sale of Zillow Offers homes. In November 2021, our Board of Directors made the determination to wind down Zillow Offers operations. The IMT segment includes the financial results for the Premier Agent, rentals and new construction marketplaces, dotloop and display, as well as revenue from the sale of variousdisplay, StreetEasy, ShowingTime+, which houses ShowingTime, Bridge Interactive, dotloop and interactive floor plans, and other marketingadvertising and business productssoftware solutions. In the first quarter of 2022, we began reporting rentals revenue as a separate revenue category within the IMT segment and servicesprior period amounts have been recast to real estate professionals.conform to this presentation. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we began to include the financial results of ShowingTime in the IMT segment. The Mortgages segment primarily includes the financial results for mortgage originations and the sale of mortgages on the secondary market through Zillow Home Loans and advertising sold to mortgage lenders and other mortgage professionals. The Homes segment includes the financial results from title and escrow services performed by Zillow Closing Services and certain indirect costs of the Homes segment which do not qualify as discontinued operations. As discussed in Note 3, as of September 30, 2022, the wind down of Zillow Offers was complete and we have presented the financial results of Zillow Offers as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements, and prior period amounts have been recast to conform to this presentation.
Revenue and costs are directly attributed to our segments when possible. However, due to the integrated structure of our business, certain costs incurred by one segment may benefit the other segments. These costs primarily include headcount-related expenses, general and administrative expenses including executive, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, recruiting and facilities costs, product development and data acquisition costs, costs related to operating our mobile applications and websites and marketing and advertising costs. These costs are allocated to each segment based on the estimated benefit each segment receives from such expenditures.
The chief executive officer reviews information about our revenue categories as well as statement of operations data inclusive of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by segment. This information is included in the following tables for the periods presented (in millions) and prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current format (rentals revenue is now presented as a separate revenue category and Note 2 includes additional details regarding certain reclassifications):

Note 18. Restructuring and Zillow Offers Wind Down
In November 2021, the Board of Directors of Zillow Group made the determination to wind down Zillow Offers operations. This decision was made in light of home pricing unpredictability, capacity constraints and other operational challenges faced by Zillow Offers that were exacerbated by an unprecedented housing market, a global pandemic and a difficult labor and supply chain environment, all of which led us to conclude that, despite its initial promise in earlier quarters, Zillow Offers was unlikely to be a sufficiently stable line of business to meet our goals and needs going forward. The wind down is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022 and result in approximately a 25% reduction of Zillow Group’s workforce of which approximately 21% has been completed. During the wind down period, we continue to renovate and sell properties in inventory.
Cumulative amounts recognized and charges incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily related to the wind down of Zillow Offers operations, and we expect future charges to primarily relate to the wind down of Zillow Offers operations and to primarily be recorded within our Homes segment. We have and plan to continue to fund the cash costs through existing cash and investment balances.
The following table presents a summary of Zillow Offers wind down-related charges incurred for the periods presented and our estimate of the total costs we expect to incur over the wind down period (in millions):

Inventory write-downs
In determining the value of our inventory, we consider indicators that net realizable value may be lower than cost at the portfolio level, market level, and in certain circumstances by structure type (single family residence, condo, etc.) by reviewing economic analyses, recent trends in home price appreciation and changes to resale strategy. Factors we analyze include gross margin on homes closed in recent months, projected gross margin on homes under contract to sell, historical list price to resale price variances, and trends in gross margin, selling prices and average selling concessions or other costs of selling homes. We recorded a write-down to inventory totaling $5 million with a corresponding increase to cost of revenue in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 5 for additional information on inventory.
Employee Termination Costs
At March 31, 2022, accrued employee termination costs of $41 million related to one-time termination benefits and $2 million related to other severance and employee costs, primarily pertaining to ongoing employee benefit arrangements, were recorded within accrued compensation and benefits in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Accelerated Depreciation and Amortization
We have adjusted the useful life of certain assets impacted by the wind down of Zillow Offers operations to end on the expected cease use date. This adjustment resulted in the accelerated recognition of depreciation and amortization primarily related to internal use software and website development costs.

Contract Termination Costs
At March 31, 2022, $4 million of contract termination costs are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. These costs relate to contract termination penalties and costs that will continue to be incurred under contracts without further economic benefit.
Financing-Related Charges
Financing-related charges incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2022 include the accelerated recognition of certain deferred debt issuance costs and debt discounts recorded to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Financing-related charges for the period also include expenses recorded within loss on extinguishment of debt within our condensed consolidated statement of operations primarily related to prepayment penalties incurred on the repayment of Zillow Offers financing facilities. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion of the Zillow Offers debt activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Note 19. Subsequent Events
On May 4, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of our Class A common stock, Class C capital stock or a combination thereof. This authorization is in addition to the $750 million repurchase authorization previously announced on December 2, 2021. The repurchases may be made in open-market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by management, and may be made from time to time as determined by management depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume, cash needs and other business factors. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date.
In April 2022, in connection with the wind down of Zillow Offers operations, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal associated with the 2021-1 and 2021-2 term loans of $320 million and $473 million, respectively, plus accrued interest and prepayment penalties.

Discontinued Operations
In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Zillow Group made the determination to wind down Zillow Offers, our iBuying business which purchased and sold homes directly in markets across the United States. The wind down was complete as of September 30, 2022 and has resulted in approximately a 25% reduction of Zillow Group’s workforce. The financial results of Zillow Offers have been presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and, therefore, are excluded from the following discussion of the results of our continuing operations. Given the wind down of Zillow Offers and corresponding shift in our strategic plans, financial performance for prior and current periods may not be indicative of future performance. For additional information, see Note 3 in our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
August 2022 Equity Award Actions
On August 3, 2022, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the full Board approved adjustments to the exercise price of certain outstanding vested and unvested option awards for eligible employees. The exercise price of eligible option awards was reduced to $38.78, which was the closing market price of our Class C capital stock on August 8, 2022. No other changes were made to the terms and conditions of the eligible option awards. In addition, the Board approved a supplemental grant of restricted stock units to eligible employees that was granted on August 8, 2022 and vests quarterly over a two-year period beginning in August 2022. The repricing of eligible option awards and the issuance of supplemental restricted stock units (collectively the “August 2022 Equity Award Actions”) is expected to result in total incremental share-based compensation expense of approximately $189 million, $56 million of which was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The remaining expense will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period, which is largely over the next two years.

The Homes segment includes the financial results from Zillow Group’s purchase and sale of homes directly through the Zillow Offers service and the financial results from the title and escrow services performed by Zillow Closing Services, primarily in connection with the purchase and sale of Zillow Offers homes. The IMT segment includes the financial results for the Premier Agent, rentals and new construction marketplaces, as well as display, StreetEasy, ShowingTime+, which houses ShowingTime, Bridge Interactive, dotloop display,and interactive floor plans, and other advertising and business software solutions. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we began to include the financial results of ShowingTime in the IMT segment. For additional information regarding the September 2021 acquisition of ShowingTime, see Note 9 in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Mortgages segment primarily includes financial results for mortgage originations through Zillow Home Loans and advertising sold to mortgage lenders and other mortgage professionals.
The Homes segment has primarily generated revenue through our Zillow Offers serviceincludes the financial results from the resale of homes. Other Homes revenue relates to revenue associated with title and escrow services provided throughperformed by Zillow Closing Services. As a resultServices and certain indirect costs of the decision to wind down Zillow Offers operations, we plan to report Zillow OffersHomes segment which do not qualify as a discontinued operation beginning with the period during which dispositionoperations.

Premier Agent revenue is generated by the sale of advertising services, as well as marketing and technology products and services, to help real estate agents and brokers grow and manage their businesses. We offer these products and services through our Premier Agent and Premier Broker programs. Premier Agent and Premier Broker products, which include the delivery of validated customer connections, or leads, are primarily offered on a share of voice basis. Connections are distributed to Premier Agent and Premier Broker partners in proportion to their share of voice, or an agent advertiser’s share of total advertising purchased in a particular zip code. Connections are delivered when customer contact information is provided to Premier Agent and Premier Broker partners. Connections are provided as part of our suite of advertising services for Premier Agent and Premier Broker partners; we do not charge a separate fee for these customer leads.
We also offer a pay for performance pricing model called “Flex” for Premier Agent and Premier Broker services in certain markets to select partners. With the Flex model, Premier Agent and Premier Broker partners are provided with validated leads at no initial cost and pay a performance fee only when a real estate transaction is closed with one of the leads.

Other IMT revenue includes revenue generated by new construction and display advertising, as well as revenue from the sale of various other advertising and business technology solutions for real estate professionals, including StreetEasy and ShowingTime+, which houses ShowingTime, Bridge Interactive, dotloop and ShowingTime.interactive floor plans. New construction revenue primarily includes advertising services sold to home builders on a cost per residential community or cost per impression basis. Display revenue consists of graphical mobile and web advertising sold on a cost per impression or cost per click basis to advertisers promoting their brands on our mobile applications and websites. StreetEasy revenue includes advertising services sold to real estate professionals serving the New York City market primarily on a cost per listing or performance fee basis. ShowingTime revenue is primarily generated by Appointment Center, a software-as-a-service and call center solution allowing real estate agents, brokerages and multiple listing services to efficiently schedule real estate viewing appointments on behalf of their customers. Appointment Center services also include call center specialists who provide scheduling support to customers. Appointment Center revenue is primarily billed in advance on a monthly basis.
In our Mortgages segment, we primarily generate revenue through mortgage originations and the related sale of mortgages on the secondary market through Zillow Home Loans and from advertising sold to mortgage lenders and other mortgage professionals on a cost per lead basis, including our Custom Quote and Connect services.

As of March 31,September 30, 2022, we had 6,5495,830 full-time employees compared to 8,005 full-time employees as of December 31, 2021. The reduction in employee headcountthe number of employees was primarily related to the result of our decision to wind down of Zillow Offers operations.
Financial HighlightsOverview
For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated total revenue of $4.3 billion$483 million and $1.2 billion,$550 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year growthdecrease of 250%12%. The increasedecrease in total revenue was primarily attributable to the following:
Zillow Offers revenue increased by $3.0 billion to $3.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the sale of 8,981 homes at an average selling price of $414.0 thousand per home. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Zillow Offers revenue was $701 million due to the sale of 1,965 homes at an average selling price of $356.7 thousand per home. We expect Zillow Offers revenue to decrease in subsequent quarters as we complete our wind down of Zillow Offers.
Premier Agent revenue increaseddecreased by $29$47 million to $363$312 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 compared to $334$359 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021. The increasedecrease in Premier Agent revenue was primarily due to macro housing market factors including interest rate and home price increases and volatility, as well as tight inventory levels. These factors resulted in a 4% increase16% decrease in Premier Agent revenue per visit, driven primarily by continued strong demand across the residential real estate industry and growth in monetization of our impressions and leads.visit.
Other IMTMortgages segment revenue increaseddecreased by $18$44 million to $66$26 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 compared to $48$70 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, driven by a decrease in revenue generated by Zillow Home Loans, as total loan origination volume decreased 76% primarily resulting from a decrease in demand for mortgages attributable to the rising and volatile interest rate environment. The decrease in Mortgages segment revenue was also impacted by a decrease in revenue from Custom Quote and Connect advertising services.

Table of Contents
The decreases noted above were partially offset by a $17 million increase in Other IMT revenue to $71 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $54 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in Other IMT revenue was primarily a result of the addition of ShowingTime revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Mortgages segment revenue decreased by $22 million to $46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven by a decrease in revenue generated by Zillow Home Loans, as total loan origination volume decreased 40%. The decrease in loan origination volume was driven primarily by higher interest rates that decreased demand for refinance mortgages.
During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated total gross profit of $635$394 million and $507$468 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increasedecrease of 25%.16%, due to the combined factors discussed below.

Wind Down of Zillow Offers Operations
In November 2021, the Board of Directors of Zillow Group made the determination to wind down Zillow Offers operations. The wind downOur financial performance is expected to be completedimpacted by changes in the second half of 2022 and result in approximately a 25% reduction of Zillow Group’s workforce of which approximately 21% has been completed. During the wind down period, we continue to sell properties in inventory. As of early May 2022, we have sold, are under contract to sell or have reached agreement on disposition terms for all except approximately 100 homes. We expect the sale of our remaining inventory to be substantially complete during the three months ending June 30, 2022, with operations and a small amount of inventory extending into the three months ending September 30, 2022. As of January 31, 2022, we are no longer acquiring homes. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a write-down to inventory totaling $5 million with a corresponding increase to cost of revenue as a result of purchasing homes at higher prices than our current estimateshealth of the housing market, which is impacted, in turn, by general economic conditions. Current market factors, including low housing inventory, fewer new for-sale listings, increases and volatility in mortgage interest rates as well as home price fluctuations, inflationary conditions and high rental occupancy rates may have a negative impact on the number of transactions that consumers complete using our products and services and on demand for our advertising services. The extent to which these factors impact our results and financial position will depend on future selling prices after selling costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we have also incurred $30 million in restructuring costs within our Homes segment associated with our wind down of Zillow Offers operations, primarily associated with one-time termination benefit costs, other severancedevelopments, which are uncertain and employee costs and contract termination costs. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred $30 million of charges associated with winding down Zillow Offers financing facilities, which have been recorded within interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, and $6 million of accelerated depreciation and amortization recordeddifficult to cost of revenue. For additional information regarding the impairment and restructuring costs, including total expected costs to be incurred and cumulative costs incurred as of March 31, 2022, see Note 18 in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the subsection below titled “Impairment and Restructuring” under the caption “Results of Operations.” Given the wind down of Zillow Offers and corresponding shift in our strategic plans, financial performance for prior and current periods may not be indicative of future performance.predict.
COVID-19 Impact
The effect and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business continues to be uncertain and difficult to predict. While we have seen recovery in our business and the businesses of our customers and real estate partners from the initial economic effects of the pandemic, the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (including variants) may continue to affect our financial results in 2022.results. The extent to which COVID-19 (including any variants) continues to impact our results and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and difficult to predict.
Health of Residential Housing Market
Our financial performance is impacted by changes in the health of the residential housing market, which is impacted, in turn, by general economic conditions. Current market factors, including low housing inventory, decreases in new for-sale listings, increases in mortgage interest rates, inflationary conditions and high rental occupancy rates may have a negative impact on the number of transactions that consumers complete using our products and services and on demand for our advertising services. The extent to which these factors impact our results and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and difficult to predict.
Key Metrics
Management has identified visits, unique users and the volume of loans originated through Zillow Home Loans as relevant to investors’ and others’ assessment of our financial condition and results of operations. We no longer consider the number of homes sold as a key metric given the wind down of Zillow Offers operations.
Visits
The number of visits is an important metric because it is an indicator of consumers’ level of engagement with our mobile applications, websites and other services. We believe highly engaged consumers are more likely to have participated inuse our Zillow Offers program, useproducts and services, including Zillow Homes Loans, or be transaction-ready real estate market participants and therefore are more sought-after by our Premier Agent and Premier Broker real estate partners.
We define a visit as a group of interactions by users with the Zillow, Trulia and StreetEasy mobile applications and websites. A single visit can contain multiple page views and actions, and a single user can open multiple visits across domains, web browsers, desktop or mobile devices. Visits can occur on the same day, or over several days, weeks or months.

Zillow and StreetEasy measure visits with Google Analytics, and Trulia measures visits with Adobe Analytics. Visits to Trulia end after thirty minutes of user inactivity. Visits to Zillow and StreetEasy end either: (i) after thirty minutes of user inactivity or at midnight; or (ii) through a campaign change. A visit ends through a campaign change if a visitor arrives via one campaign or source (for example, via a search engine or referring link on a third-party website), leaves the mobile application or website, and then returns via another campaign or source.

Unique Users
Measuring unique users is important to us because much of our revenue depends in part on our ability to connect home buyers and sellers, renters and individuals with or looking for a mortgage to real estate, rental and mortgage professionals, products and services. Growth in consumer traffic to our mobile applications and websites increases the number of impressions, clicks, connections, leads and other events we can monetize to generate revenue. For example, our Homes segment revenue depended in part, and our Mortgages segment revenue depends in part, on users accessing our mobile applications and websites to engage in the sale, purchase and financing of homes, including with Zillow Offers and Zillow Home Loans, and our Premier Agent revenue, rentals revenue and display revenue depend on advertisements being served to users of our mobile applications and websites.
We count a unique user the first time an individual accesses one of our mobile applications using a mobile device during a calendar month and the first time an individual accesses one of our websites using a web browser during a calendar month. If an individual accesses our mobile applications using different mobile devices within a given month, the first instance of access by each such mobile device is counted as a separate unique user. If an individual accesses more than one of our mobile applications within a given month, the first access to each mobile application is counted as a separate unique user. If an individual accesses our websites using different web browsers within a given month, the first access by each such web browser is counted as a separate unique user. If an individual accesses more than one of our websites in a single month, the first access to each website is counted as a separate unique user since unique users are tracked separately for each domain. Zillow, StreetEasy and HotPads measure unique users with Google Analytics, and Trulia measures unique users with Adobe Analytics.
Due to third-party technological limitations, user software settings or user behavior, Google Analytics may assign a unique cookie to different instances of access by the same individual to our mobile applications and websites. In such instances, Google Analytics would count different instances of access by the same individual as separate unique users. Accordingly, reliance on the number of unique users counted by Google Analytics may overstate the actual number of unique users who access our mobile applications and websites during the period.

Homes segment revenue increased 429% to $3.7 billion, primarily due to an increase of $3.0 billion, or 430%, in Zillow Offers revenue.

The increase in revenue is due to increased acquisition volumes in 2021 subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2021, which resulted in higher resale volumes, including accelerated resales, as we wind down Zillow Offers operations. We expect Zillow Offers revenue to decrease in subsequent quarters as we complete our wind down of Zillow Offers.

The increasedecrease in Premier Agent revenue was driven by an increasemacro housing market factors including interest rate and home price increases and volatility, as well as tight inventory levels. These factors resulted in a decrease in Premier Agent revenue per visit, which increaseddecreased by 4%16% to $0.138$0.113 for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 from $0.133$0.135 for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021. We calculate Premier Agent revenue per visit by dividing the revenue generated by our Premier Agent and Premier Broker programs by the number of visits in the period. The increase in Premier Agent revenue per visit was driven primarily by continued strong demand across the residential real estate industry which increased home sales prices and resulted in higher monetization of leads. Other IMT revenue increased primarily as a result of the addition of ShowingTime revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect IMT segment revenue to decrease in absolute dollars during the three months ending December 31, 2022 primarily due to continued macroeconomic pressure on demand driven by home price affordability, which has been impacted by higher home prices and interest rate increases.

The decrease in mortgage originations revenue was also attributable to a 27%38% decrease in gain on sale margin driven by industry margin compression. Gain on sale margin represents the net gain on sale of mortgage loans divided by total loan origination volume for the period. Net gain on sale of mortgage loans includes all components related to the origination and sale of mortgage loans, including the net gain on sale of loans into the secondary market, loan origination fees, unrealized gains and losses associated with changes in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale, realized and unrealized gains or losses from derivative financial instruments and the provision for losses relating to representations and warranties. The decrease in our Custom Quote and Connect advertising revenue was primarily due to a 44% decrease in leads generated from marketing products sold to mortgage professionals driven by a decrease in demand for mortgages attributable to the rising and volatile interest rate environment. We expect Mortgage segment revenue to decrease for the three months ending December 31, 2022, driven primarily by adverse macro housing market factors.

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed Adjusted EBITDA in total and for each segment, each a non-GAAP financial measure, within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA in total to net incomeloss and Adjusted EBITDA by segment to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for each segment, the most directly comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures.

Table of Contents
We have included Adjusted EBITDA in total and for each segment in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as they are key metrics used by our management and board of directors to measure operating performance and trends and to prepare and approve our annual budget. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA in total and for each segment has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the results of discontinued operations;
Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring costs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related costs;
42

Table of Contents
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the loss on extinguishment of debt;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or other income;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income taxes; and
Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently thanfrom the way we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA in total and for each segment alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flowcash-flow metrics, net income,loss, income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for each segment, and our other GAAP results.

As discussed in Note 2 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,On January 1, 2022, we adopted guidance which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity, effective January 1, 2022.equity. Upon adoption, we de-recognized the remaining debt discounts on the convertible senior notes and no longer recognize amortization of debt discounts to interest expense.

For our Homes segment, interest expense includes interest on borrowings, funding fees and other fees, including the amortization of deferred issuance costs, on the credit facilities related to Zillow Offers. Borrowings on these credit facilities bore interest at the one-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, and in certain cases were subject to a LIBOR floor, as defined in the credit agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Zillow Group repaid all amounts drawn on the Zillow Offers credit facilities. Interest expense also includes interest on the term loans and variable funding lines associated with our 2021-1 and 2021-2 securitization transactions, including the amortization of the debt discount for the term loans and the amortization of deferred issuance costs for the term loans and variable funding lines. The term loans bear interest at a fixed rate and the variable funding lines bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repaid all amounts drawn on the variable funding lines. Refer to Note 11 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on Homes segment financing.

Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to three months ended September 30, 2021
Interest expense increased $4decreased $20 million, or 10%69%, primarily due to a $32 million increase in interest expense related to our Homes segment and partially offset by a $27$19 million decrease in corporate interest expense not attributable to any of our segments.
The increase in Homes segment interest expense was driven by the accelerated recognition of debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment fees, as applicable, due to the repayment of our credit facilities and variable funding lines and the partial repayment of the term loans associated with our securitization transactions. The increase in interest expense is also due to the increased number of homes financed on our credit facilities and through our securitization transactions, as described above. We expect interest expense for the Homes segment to decrease during the three months ending June 30, 2022 and thereafter, as we have ceased home buying activities and expect to repay our outstanding securitization term loans during the second quarter of 2022.
The decrease in corporate interest expense not attributable to any of our segments was primarily due to the adoption of guidance which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, which, as discussed above, eliminated the debt discounts on the convertible senior notes that were previously amortized to interest expense prior to adoption. Additionally, the settlement of conversions and redemptions of convertible senior notes maturing inthe 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased the outstanding principal balances of our convertible senior notes upon which interest was incurred.
Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021
Interest expense decreased $73 million, or 74%, primarily due to a $71 million decrease in corporate interest expense not attributable to any of our segments. The decrease in corporate interest expense not attributable to any of our segments was due to the same drivers as for the three months ended September 30, 2022, discussed above.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state), Canada and Serbia. As of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have provided a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets that we believe, based on the weight of available evidence, are not more likely than not to be realized. There is a reasonable possibility that within the next several quarters, sufficient positive evidence will become available to demonstrate that a significant portion of the valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets will no longer be required. We have accumulated federal tax losses of approximately $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2021, which are available to reduce future taxable income. We have accumulated state tax losses of approximately $73 million (tax effected) as of December 31, 2021.
Our income tax expense or benefit for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account for the relevant period. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate on a quarterly basis and make year-to-date adjustments to the tax provision or benefit, as applicable. We recorded an income tax benefit of $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and an income tax benefitexpense of $3 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 primarily driven by state taxes, and an income tax benefit of $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily related todriven by state income taxes.taxes and the decrease in the valuation allowance associated with our September 2021 acquisition of ShowingTime.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from operations, debt financing and equity offerings. Our cash requirements consist principally of working capital, general corporate needs and mortgage loan originations. We previously used capital resources for the purchase of homes through Zillow Offers, all of which home purchases closed by January 31, 2022.We generally reinvest available cash flows from operations into our business and to service our debt obligations.

Sources of Liquidity
As of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents, investments and restricted cash of $3.8$3.5 billion and $3.4$2.8 billion, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents balances consist of operating cash on deposit with financial institutions and money market funds and treasury bills.funds. Investments consist of fixed income securities, which include U.S. government agency securities, commercial paper, treasury bills and investment grade corporate securities, treasury bills and the beneficial interests in our Homes segment securitization transactions.commercial paper. Restricted cash consists of amounts funded to the reserve and collection accounts related to our credit facilities, home sales proceeds held in restricted accounts associated with our credit facilities and securitizations and amounts held in escrow related to funding home purchases in our mortgage origination business. Amounts on deposit with third-party financial institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation insurance limits, as applicable. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, Zillow Group and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all debt covenants specified in the facilities described below.
We believe that cash from operations and cash and cash equivalents and investment balances will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures and other capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operations, debt financing and equity offerings, as applicable.

Homes
Zillow Group’s purchase of homes through the Zillow Offers program and sale of homes has had a significant impact on our liquidity and capital resources as a cash and inventory intensive business. We have used credit facilities, and beginning in the third quarter of 2021, asset-backed securitizations, to fund a portion of the purchase price of homes and certain related costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Zillow Group repaid all amounts drawn on the Zillow Offers credit facilities. On November 2, 2021, the Board of Directors of Zillow Group made the determination to wind down Zillow Offers operations. As a result, we expect home financing to decrease during the three months ending June 30, 2022 and thereafter as we have ceased home buying activities and expect to repay our outstanding securitization term loans during the second quarter of 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and the health of the real estate market, the broader economy and the COVID-19 pandemic and our decision to wind down Zillow Offers operations have introduced significant additional uncertainty with respect to estimates, judgments and assumptions, which may materially impact our estimates. For information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Part II Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily consist of fluctuations in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Under our current investment policy, we invest our excess cash in money market funds, U.S. government agency securities, andtreasury bills, investment grade corporate securities.securities and commercial paper. Our current investment policy seeks first to preserve principal, second to provide liquidity for our operating and capital needs and third to maximize yield without putting our principal at risk.
Our short-term investments are exposed to market risk due to the fluctuation of prevailing interest rates that may reduce the yield on our investments or their fair value. The fair value of our beneficial interests in securitizations are subject to changes in market value through the impact of interest rates on the effective yield of the investment. For our investment portfolio, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio.
Our convertible senior notes and term loans associated with our Homes segment securitizations bear interest at fixed rates. Thus, we have no related direct financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. However, theThe fair values of the convertible senior notes change primarily when the market price of our stock fluctuates or interest rates change. The following table summarizes our outstanding convertible senior notes as of March 31,September 30, 2022 (in millions, except interest rates):
Maturity DateAggregate Principal AmountStated Interest Rate
September 1, 2026$499 1.375 %
May 15, 2025565 2.75 %
September 1, 2024608 0.75 %

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Zillow Group repaid all amounts drawn on the Zillow Offers credit facilities. No additional amounts may be drawn on these facilities. For additional details related to our credit facilities, see Note 11 to our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are also subject to market risk which may impact our mortgage loan origination volume and associated revenue and the net interest margin derived from borrowings under our warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements that provide capital for Zillow Home Loans. Market risk occurs in periods where changes in short-term interest rates result in mortgage loans being originated with terms that provide a smaller interest rate spread above the financing terms of our warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements, which can negatively impact our net income. This risk is primarily mitigated through expedited sale of our loans. As of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding $88$45 million and $112$113 million, respectively, of borrowings on our warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements which bear interest either at a floating rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin, and in certain cases include a LIBOR floor or at Adjusted Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR”) plus an applicable margin, and in certain cases includeas defined by the governing agreements, or Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index Rate (“BSBY”) plus an Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR floor.applicable margin, as defined by the governing agreements. We manage the interest rate risk associated with our mortgage loan origination services through the use of forward sales of mortgage-backed securities. Assuming no change in the outstanding borrowings on the warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements, we estimate that a one percentage point increase in LIBORSOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR,BSBY, as applicable, would increase our annual interest expense associated with the warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements by an immaterial amount as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and $1 million as of December 31, 2021.
As described above, we utilize debt facilities that bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR, which is expected to be phased out as a reference rate in future periods. We do not expect the eventual transition away from LIBOR to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition, particularly given we are winding down Zillow Offers operations. However, the United States is experiencing the highest levels of inflation in nearly four decades. If the inflation rate continues to increase, our costs, were toin particular labor, marketing and hosting costs, may become subject to significant inflationary pressures and we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. In addition, uncertain or changing economic and market conditions, including inflation or deflation, may affect demand for our products and services and the housing markets in which we operate. Our inability or failure to quickly respond to inflation could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We do not believe that foreign currency exchange risk has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. As we do not maintain a significant balance of foreign currency, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar would have a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
