FOR FULL YEAR 2012
Strong Fourth Quarter Results Drive 2012 Net Revenue Increase of 14%
to $4.7 Billion; Overall Net Indebtedness Reduced by Approximately 42%
PARSIPPANY, N.J., February 14, 2013 - Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY) ("Realogy" or the "Company"), a global leader in residential real estate franchising and provider of real estate brokerage, relocation title and settlement services, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012, including the following:
| |
| • | Realogy's net revenue for fourth quarter 2012 was $1.2 billion, a 30% increase compared to the same period in 2011. |
| |
| • | The Company's Adjusted EBITDA1 was $167 million in the fourth quarter, which was an increase of 61% year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to a 35% increase in sales volume (homesale transaction sides times average sale price) at the franchised and company owned real estate services segments combined year-over-year for the quarter. |
| |
| • | Net loss attributable to the Company in the fourth quarter was $292 million, which was after $400 million of primarily non-cash IPO-related costs, $18 million of debt extinguishment charges and $42 million of depreciation and amortization. |
| |
| • | Realogy's net revenue for full year 2012 was $4.7 billion, an increase of 14% compared to 2011. |
| |
| • | Realogy's Adjusted EBITDA2 for 2012 was $674 million, an increase of 18% compared to 2011. These improved results were due largely to an increase in sales volume (homesale transaction sides times average sale price) at the franchised and company-owned real estate services segments combined. |
| |
| • | In 2012, Realogy recorded a net loss attributable to the Company of $543 million, which was after $528 million of interest expense, $400 million of primarily non-cash IPO-related costs, $24 million of debt extinguishment charges and $173 million of depreciation and amortization. |
| |
| • | Based on the Company's $3.1 billion reduction of debt from its IPO, which gives effect to the expected redemption in the second quarter of $200 million of Subordinated Notes with remaining IPO proceeds, the Company expects corporate cash interest expense to total $315 to $320 million in 2013. |
"The strength of the year, and in particular our strong fourth quarter results, supports the growing consensus of a housing recovery," said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chairman, chief executive officer and president. "The favorable housing trends we experienced early in 2012 were evident in the fourth quarter, and our first quarter 2013 closed sales volume and open contracts indicate the continuation of the housing recovery."

Business Driver Discussion
For full year 2012, Realogy's core business drivers all showed significant year-over-year improvement. RFG, our franchise segment and largest contributor to our EBITDA, and NRT, the operator of our company-owned brokerage offices, led the way with closed homesale sides increases of 9% and 14%, respectively. Average sales price increased 8% at RFG and 4% for NRT for 2012 compared to 2011.
In our relocation business, Cartus experienced a 3% year-over-year increase in initiations compared to 2011 and a 10% increase in broker referrals. In our title and settlement services segment, Title Resource Group (TRG) experienced a 13% increase in purchase title and closing units compared to 2011 and a 42% increase in refinance title and closing units.
In the fourth quarter alone, RFG had a year-over-year 14% increase in homesale transaction sides, while NRT had a 22% year-over-year increase. RFG's average homesale price also increased 14% in the fourth quarter, and NRT's average homesale price, which is generally twice the national average, increased 18% compared to fourth quarter 2011. Thus, overall combined transaction volume was up 35% for the fourth quarter.
“Our closed homesale transaction volume drivers outperformed our expectations in the fourth quarter, especially with respect to average sales price," said Anthony E. Hull, Realogy's executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "We believe that the fourth quarter volume increase was partially aided by tax-related selling, particularly at the high end of the market."
Hull continued: "Based on the visibility we have into the coming months from our January closed sales data and open contracts in January and early February, we expect to see an approximately 4% to 5% increase in transaction sides in the first quarter of 2013 with one less business day than we had in the first quarter of 2012. Likewise, we anticipate a combined RFG and NRT average sale price increase of approximately 8% to 9% year-over-year, which would equate to a 14% to 16% volume increase in the first quarter after adjusting out the additional business day in the first quarter of 2012."
Recent Accomplishments & Other Highlights
| |
| • | Realogy's IPO and related transactions reduced our overall net indebtedness (including remaining IPO proceeds of approximately $220 million at year-end) by approximately $3.1 billion. Also as a result of the overall net debt reduction, Realogy's corporate cash interest expense is expected to decline to approximately $315 to $320 million in 2013. There were 145.4 million shares outstanding at December 31, 2012. |
| |
| • | Realogy maintained its industry-leading position in terms of U.S. residential real estate market penetration, which was 26% for broker-assisted sales in 2012, based on volume. In all, Realogy was involved in approximately 1.3 million transaction sides last year -- on either the buy or sell side. |
| |
| • | The Realogy Franchise Group finished the year with $234 million of new franchise sales gross commission income (GCI). RFG also retained approximately 97% of its franchisee production in 2012 as measured by GCI. |
| |
| • | NRT retained approximately 94% of the GCI production of its first and second quartile agents in 2012. |
| |
| • | In 2012, Cartus signed 117 new corporate clients and expanded the scope of services provided for nearly 300 existing clients. |
| |
| • | TRG's underwriter reported a 22% increase in 2012 net premiums year over year. TRG's underwriting claims experience for the year was approximately 1.3%, which continues to substantially outperform the industry average loss ratio of approximately 7%. |
| |
| • | In January, the Company appointed Brett White, recently retired CEO of CBRE Group (NYSE: CBG), to its Board of Directors. White is now the third independent director on our eight-member board. |

Balance Sheet Information as of December 31, 2012
The Company ended the year with approximately $220 million of remaining IPO proceeds out of its total cash balance of $376 million, and $110 million of outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facility under its senior secured credit agreement.
"As previously discussed, we intend to use our remaining IPO proceeds to redeem the $190 million of 12 3/8% notes at par in April as well as the $10 million of 13 3/8% extended maturity notes," said Hull. "This will fully retire all of Realogy's subordinated debt. Our next focus will be the 11.5% Senior Notes and 12% Senior Notes, which become redeemable in April 2013. We are also in the process of refinancing our senior secured credit facility, which, if completed, would lower the interest rate on such borrowings and extend the maturities of our revolving credit facility and term loan. We continue to analyze and optimize our capital structure and use our free cash flow primarily to retire debt with the ultimate goal of becoming investment grade."
A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.
As of December 31, 2012, the senior secured leverage ratio (SSLR) under the Realogy Group LLC senior secured credit agreement was 3.30 to 1, below the 4.75 to 1 maximum ratio required to be in compliance under the agreement. (See Table 8 for the definition of this non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, and Table 6a, 6b, and 6c for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net loss attributable to the Company.)

| (b) | Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in subsequent periods due to restructuring activities initiated during 2012. From this restructuring, we expect to reduce our operating costs by approximately $14 million on a twelve-month run-rate basis and estimate that $7 million of such savings were realized from the time they were put in place. The adjustment shown represents the impact the savings would have had on the period from January 1, 2012 through the time they were put in place, had those actions been effected on January 1, 2012. |

The employee retention accruals reflect the employee retention plans that were implemented in lieu of our customary bonus plans in 2010 and 2011, due to the ongoing and prolonged downturn in the housing market in order to ensure the retention of executive officers and other key personnel, principally within our corporate services unit and the corporate offices of our four business units. |

| |
| (f) | Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and new franchisees as if they had been acquired or signed on January 1, 2012. Franchisee sales activity is comprised of new franchise agreements as well as growth acquired by existing franchisees with our assistance. We have made a number of assumptions in calculating such estimate and there can be no assurance that we would have generated the projected levels of EBITDA had we owned the acquired entities or entered into the franchise contracts as of January 1, 2012. |

EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for relocation receivables and securitization obligations) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a twelve-month period is presented to demonstrate our compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant in the senior secured credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a twelve-month period corresponds to the definition of “EBITDA,” calculated on a “pro forma basis,” used in the senior secured credit facility to calculate the senior secured leverage ratio. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to EBITDA for merger costs, restructuring costs, former parent legacy cost (benefit) items, net, gain (loss) on the early extinguishment of debt, pro forma cost savings, the pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives and the pro forma effect of acquisitions and new franchisees, in each case calculated as of the beginning of the twelve-month period.
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. Our management, including our chief operating decision maker, uses EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We believe EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net interest expense), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the amortization of intangibles, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. We further believe that EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an EBITDA measure when reporting their results.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| |
| • | these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirement for, our working capital needs; |
| |
| • | these measures do not reflect our interest expense (except for interest related to our securitization obligations), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
| |
| • | these measures do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; |
| |
| • | these measures do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| |
| • | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
| |
| • | other companies may calculate these measures differently so they may not be comparable. |
In addition to the limitations described above, Adjusted EBITDA includes pro forma cost savings, the pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives and the pro forma full year effect of acquisitions and new franchisees. These adjustments may not reflect the actual cost savings or pro forma effect recognized in future periods.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net loss attributable to Realogy before income tax expense, net of payments, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefit), net of payments, IPO related costs, cash payment related to Convertible Notes, cash payment related to Apollo management fee termination, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capital adjustments and relocation receivables and properties, net of change in securitization obligations. Cash Earnings Per Share is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. We use Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share in our internal evaluation of operating effectiveness and decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities or other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
