Company Updates 2006 Projections
New York, February 13, 2006– Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD) today reported results for fourth quarter and full year 2005.
For fourth quarter 2005, revenue totaled $4.3 billion, an increase of 7% over fourth quarter 2004, reflecting growth in the Company’s core real estate and travel services businesses. EPS from Continuing Operations was a loss of $0.04 (a profit of $0.23 as adjusted for specified items, which was in line with the Company’s most recent projection). The loss from operations in the fourth quarter reflects the impact of the previously disclosed impairment charge related to lower than previously forecasted results in the Company’s Travel Distribution Services businesses. (For a more detailed explanation see Other Items.) Net Income increased to $537 million, versus $357 million in fourth quarter 2004.
For full year 2005, revenue totaled $18.2 billion, an increase of 9% over 2004. Reported EPS from Continuing Operations was $0.82 ($1.28 as adjusted for specified items). Net Income was $1.3 billion.
Cendant’s President and Chief Financial Officer, Ronald L. Nelson, stated: “During 2005, we continued to strengthen our businesses’ leading positions in the residential real estate, hospitality, travel distribution and vehicle rental markets that they serve. Each of our business segments individually generated organic revenue growth for the full year and, in total, our core reportable segments generated organic revenue growth of 5% for the fourth quarter and 8% for the full year. In addition, during 2005 we generated over $2 billion in free cash flow, and we returned over $2.5 billion in value to our shareholders, including over 70% of our free cash flow and the spin-off of PHH Corporation.”
With respect to Cendant’s plan to separate the Company into four independent, publicly traded, pure play companies, Mr. Nelson further commented: “We are now in the execution phase and remain on track to complete the spin-offs of Real Estate Services and Hospitality in the second and third quarters of 2006, respectively, and the separation of Travel Distribution from Vehicle Services in October 2006.”

Fourth Quarter 2005 Results of Core Operating Segments
The following discussion of operating results focuses on revenue and EBITDA for each of our core operating segments. Revenue and EBITDA are expressed in millions.
Real Estate Services
(Consisting of the Company’s real estate franchise brands, brokerage operations, relocation services and settlement services businesses)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2005 | | | 2004 | | | % change | |
| |
| Revenue | | $ | 1,620 | | | $ | 1,572 | | | | 3 | % |
| |
| EBITDA | | $ | 221 | | | $ | 238 | | | | (7 | %) |
| |
Revenue increased due to growth in our real estate franchise and NRT real estate brokerage businesses, principally driven by increases in home prices and by tuck-in acquisitions at NRT. Home prices increased 12% at real estate franchise and 10% at NRT. These increases were partially offset by a 5% decline in closed sides at both real estate franchise and NRT, reflecting the expected moderation of the residential real estate market, particularly in certain markets where NRT is concentrated such as the
2
East and West coasts. EBITDA declined due primarily to higher fixed costs at NRT in the seasonally slow fourth quarter.
Hospitality Services
(Consisting of the Company’s franchised lodging brands, hotel management, timeshare exchange and vacation rental businesses)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2005 | | | 2004 | | | % change | |
| |
| Revenue | | $ | 361 | | | $ | 324 | | | | 11 | % |
| |
| EBITDA | | $ | 80 | | | $ | 83 | | | | (4 | %) |
| |
Revenue increased primarily due to growth in our lodging and RCI timeshare exchange businesses. The largest contributor to revenue growth was the inclusion of approximately $30 million of revenue associated with the acquisition of Wyndham International, of which approximately $25 million had no impact on EBITDA because it related to reimbursable expenses. Lodging revenue was also positively impacted by an 11% improvement in RevPAR, excluding Wyndham and Ramada International. Revenue from RCI increased 8% primarily as a result of increased rental activity and RCI points transaction volume. Partially offsetting these revenue increases was a decline at our European Vacation Rental business, which experienced slow booking patterns in the soft European travel marketplace. EBITDA was negatively impacted primarily by a previously announced $16 million charge incurred to combine the operations of RCI and the Vacation Rental Group to form the Vacation Network Group.
Timeshare Resorts
(Consisting of the Company’s timeshare sales and development businesses)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2005 | | | 2004 | | | % change | |
| |
| Revenue | | $ | 447 | | | $ | 389 | | | | 15 | % |
| |
| EBITDA | | $ | 96 | | | $ | 73 | | | | 32 | % |
| |
Revenue and EBITDA increased primarily due to 6% growth in tour volume and a 14% increase in revenue per guest. The increase in tour flow resulted from the reorganization of the sales and marketing organizations and the benefit of diversified tour mix. Sales efficiency improvement resulted from improved yield management of product inventory, mix of tour types and pricing, particularly at some of our premium destinations (Hawaii, Las Vegas, Orlando and Myrtle Beach). In addition, revenue and EBITDA were positively impacted by increased consumer financing income primarily due to growth in the portfolio.
Vehicle Rental
(Consisting of the Company’s car and truck rental businesses)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2005 | | | 2004 | | | % change | |
| |
| Revenue | | $ | 1,308 | | | $ | 1,131 | | | | 16 | % |
| |
| EBITDA | | $ | 72 | | | $ | 80 | | | | (10 | %) |
| |
3
Revenue increased due to growth in our domestic and international car rental operations. Car rental revenue grew 18% worldwide due to a 17% increase in rental day volume. EBITDA comparisons were negatively impacted, however, by increased fleet costs for newer vehicles and 17% growth in our car rental fleet to support increased demand. We have initiated domestic price increases to mitigate the impact of higher fleet costs and have achieved modest year-over-year increases in pricing thus far in 2006.
Travel Distribution Services
(Consisting of electronic global distribution services for the travel industry, corporate and consumer online travel services, and travel agency services)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2005 | | | 2004 | | | % change | |
| |
| Revenue | | $ | 570 | | | $ | 451 | | | | 26 | % |
| |
| EBITDA | | $ | (332 | ) | | $ | 101 | | | | N/M | |
| |
Revenue increased primarily due to growth in our online travel agency and other consumer travel businesses. The acquisitions of Orbitz and Gullivers contributed to revenue and EBITDA, while the acquisition of ebookers contributed to revenue but reduced EBITDA by $10 million. On an organic basis, our online travel businesses grew gross bookings by 16% and achieved higher EBITDA margins. Revenue from GDS and Supplier Services declined 2%, as a 6% increase in global GDS segment volume was offset by decreased subscriber fee income. Despite increased revenue, EBITDA declined primarily due to a previously announced non-cash impairment charge of $425 million, pretax, ($256 million or $0.25 per share, after tax) principally associated with the Company’s online consumer travel businesses, largely ebookers, as well as severance costs of $12 million. In addition, EBITDA comparisons were negatively impacted by $10 million relating to previously disclosed benefit plan changes that reduced expenses in fourth quarter 2004.
Recent Achievements and Strategic Initiatives
During the fourth quarter, the Company made considerable progress toward its cash flow generation, share repurchase and dividend payment goals:
| • | | Generated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $773 million and Free Cash Flow of $445 million. For full year 2005, the Company generated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of approximately $3.3 billion and Free Cash Flow of approximately $2.0 billion. |
| |
| • | | Utilized $331 million of cash for the repurchase of common stock ($270 million net of proceeds from option exercises). For full year 2005, the Company utilized $1.3 billion of cash for the repurchase of 68 million shares of its common stock ($1.1 billion net of proceeds from issuing 24 million shares in connection with option exercises). |
| |
| • | | Utilized $114 million of cash to pay its quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share. For full year 2005, the Company utilized $423 million of cash to pay quarterly dividends. As previously announced, Cendant’s Board of Directors has approved |
4
| | | the payment of the Company’s first quarter 2006 dividend of $0.11 per share, after which further cash dividends will be suspended for the remainder of 2006 due to the planned separation of Cendant into four independent, publicly traded companies. |
Other Items
| • | | Discontinued Operations –Includes income from the Company’s former Marketing Services Division and, in prior periods, results of operations of the Company’s former Jackson Hewitt, Wright Express, fleet and appraisal units, which have been disposed. The Company recorded gains on the sale of Marketing Services and Wright Express totaling $765 million in 2005 and a gain on the sale of Jackson Hewitt of $198 million in 2004. |
| |
| • | | Arbitration Interest Expense– On February 2, 2006, we were informed of a final award in a matter related to claims by the purchaser of a business sold by Avis Group Holdings prior to Cendant’s acquisition in 2001 of that company. The amount awarded had been fully reserved for in connection with the acquisition; however, our fourth quarter pretax results were reduced by $19 million (or $0.01 per share, after tax) to reflect interest expense that we will now be required to pay on the award amount. |
| |
| • | | Impairment of Intangible Asset– The Company’s initial estimate of the impairment charge discussed in its December 13, 2005 press release was based upon having completed only the first step of a multi-step valuation analysis required under GAAP. The Company has now completed the required, detailed analysis and determined that the excess value of certain Travel Distribution assets is insufficient to overcome the shortfall in other assets, principally ebookers. As a result, the impairment of intangible asset charge recorded in our Travel Distribution Services segment in fourth quarter 2005 was $425 million pretax ($256 million or $0.25 per share, after tax), which was larger than previously projected. |
Outlook
Based on current trends, the 2006 revenue and EBITDA outlook for the Company’s Hospitality and Timeshare segments remains substantially unchanged from the most recent projection announced on December 13, 2005. As a result of initiatives being undertaken by new management of Cendant’s Travel Distribution division to preserve and enhance the market position of its international operations, the Company currently expects the 2006 results of that division to be around the low end of the previously projected EBITDA range of $575 — $625 million (before separation costs). The outlook for the Company’s other segments is as follows.
Real Estate Services– As a result of recent moderation in the residential real estate market, particularly in some of the markets where NRT is more heavily concentrated, the Company expects EBITDA comparisons (before separation costs) to be negative in first quarter 2006 versus first quarter 2005. The impact on Cendant’s prior first quarter 2006 EPS projection is approximately $0.03 — $0.05. The Company is taking
5
actions to reduce costs at NRT, including consolidating offices, which should benefit results beginning in the second half of 2006. In addition, our open contracts have trended up in recent weeks, which normally indicates that home sales should improve in the next few quarters. During January 2006, average homesale prices increased in the high single digit range, year-over-year, in our franchise and brokerage businesses, continuing the national trend of uninterrupted annual price increases that, according to government statistics, has existed since at least 1950. As a result, the Company currently estimates that Real Estate Services’ revenue will increase and EBITDA (before separation costs) will be about unchanged for full year 2006 versus 2005.
Vehicle Rental– The Company has modestly reduced its first quarter 2006 outlook primarily based on the expectation that corporate price increases will not take effect until later in the year when contracts come up for renewal. The impact on Cendant’s prior first quarter 2006 EPS projection is approximately $0.01 – $0.02.
As a result of the reduced first quarter outlook for Real Estate Services and Vehicle Services, the Company now projects first quarter 2006 revenue growth from core operations of approximately 6% - 8%, an EBITDA decline from core operations (before separation costs) of 14% — 16%, and EPS from Continuing Operations of $0.11 – $0.16 (before separation costs).
For full year 2006, if Cendant had remained together, the Company’s current expectation would be for high single digit revenue growth and low single digit EBITDA growth from core operations, excluding separation costs and the fourth quarter 2005 impairment charge at Travel Distribution Services. The Company plans to outline its full year 2006 projections for the four new companies at its Annual Investor Day scheduled for March 21, 2006.

| (A) | | Excludes $87 million and $84 million of intercompany royalties paid primarily by our NRT real estate brokerage business during the fourth quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively. |
| (B) | | We acquired the Wyndham hotel brand and franchise system on October 12, 2005 and the Ramada International Hotels and Resorts trademark on December 10, 2004. The 2004 drivers do not include RevPAR and Weighted Average Rooms Available of Wyndham or Ramada International for the periods prior to our acquisitions. On a comparable basis (excluding Wyndham and Ramada International from the comparable 2005 amounts), RevPAR would have increased 11% and Weighted Average Rooms Available would have decreased 2%. |
| (C) | | The 2005 amounts include the revenues of businesses acquired during or subsequent to fourth quarter 2004 and are therefore not presented on a comparable basis. |

|
| (A) | | For comparability purposes, 2004 revenue has been grossed-up by $70 million to reflect a change in accounting presentation adopted during fourth quarter 2005 to be consistent with industry competitors. |
| (B) | | We acquired Gullivers Travel Associates on April 1, 2005, ebookers plc on February 28, 2005 and Orbitz, Inc. on November 12, 2004. Revenue generated by these businesses prior to acquisition are not reflected in the revenue data presented herein and, therefore, the revenue data are not comparable. However, certain of the driver data for fourth quarter 2004 have been adjusted to include driver data for these newly acquired businesses so as to present comparable driver data. |
| (C) | | Includes supplier link and merchant hotel transactions not booked through the Galileo GDS system. |
| (D) | | The online gross bookings and offline gross bookings data for fourth quarter 2004 have been adjusted to include aggregate bookings of approximately $685 million and $85 million, respectively, by ebookers and Orbitz so as to present comparable driver data. The online gross bookings and offline gross bookings data for Gullivers have been reflected in the fourth quarter 2005 driver data (approximately $60 million and $260 million, respectively), but not in the fourth quarter 2004 driver data due to the absence of available driver data prior to our acquisition of Gullivers. |
| (E) | | Includes Galileo revenue of $346.2 million and $350.7 million for fourth quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively. |
| (F) | | Primarily comprised of Orbitz, Cheaptickets, ebookers, Flairview and Gullivers. |

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
The accompanying press release includes certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, we have provided below the reasons we present these non-GAAP financial measures and a description of what they represent.
| | | |
EBITDA | | Represents income from continuing operations before non-program related depreciation and amortization, non-program related interest, amortization of pendings and listings, income taxes and minority interest. We believe that EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the aggregate performance of our operating businesses. EBITDA is the measure that is used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to perform such evaluation, and it is a factor in measuring performance in our incentive compensation plans. It is also a component of our financial covenant calculations under our credit facilities, subject to certain adjustments. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. |
| | | |
Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio | | Represents (i) net corporate debt (which reflects total corporate debt adjusted to assume the application of available cash to reduce outstanding indebtedness) divided by (ii) net capitalization (which reflects total capitalization also adjusted for the application of available cash). We believe that this ratio is useful in measuring the Company’s leverage and indicating the strength of its financial condition. We also believe that adjusting corporate debt to assume the application of available cash to reduce outstanding indebtedeness eliminates the effect of timing differences relating to the use of debt proceeds. A reconciliation of the “Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio” to the appropriate measure recognized under GAAP (Total Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio) is presented in Table 6, which accompanies this press release. |
| | | |
Free Cash Flow | | Represents Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities adjusted to include the cash inflows and outflows relating to (i) capital expenditures, (ii) the investing and financing activities of our management programs, and (iii) asset sales. We believe that Free Cash Flow is useful to management and the Company’s investors in measuring the cash generated by the Company that is available to be used to repurchase stock, repay debt obligations, pay dividends and invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions. Free Cash Flow should not be construed as a substitute in measuring operating results or liquidity, and our presentation of Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the appropriate measure recognized under GAAP (Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities) is presented in Table 8, which accompanies this press release. |
| | | |
Organic Growth | | Represents the results of our reportable operating segments excluding the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. We believe that Organic Growth is useful to management and the Company’s investors in evaluating the operating performance of its reportable segments on a comparable basis. The reconciliations of Organic revenue and EBITDA growth to the comparable measures recognized under GAAP are presented in Table 3, which accompanies this press release. |

2005 EPS from Continuing Operations as Adjusted for Specified Items | | Represents our EPS from Continuing Operations adjusted to give effect to items that were not included in the latest guidance we issued on December 13, 2005. We believe that by providing the calculation of EPS from Continuing Operations both including and excluding these items, we are providing greater transparency into the results of operations of our core operating segments. EPS from Continuing Operations As Adjusted for Specified Items should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for EPS from Continuing Operations prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of EPS from Continuing Operations As Adjusted for Specified Items to the most comparable measure (EPS from Continuing Operations) recognized under generally accepted accounting principles is presented within the body of the accompanying press release. |
| | | |
First Quarter 2006 EBITDA before Separation Costs | | Represents our estimates of first quarter 2006 EBITDA excluding costs that will be incurred in connection with our plan to separate Cendant into four independent publicly-traded companies. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP measure for EBITDA before Separation Costs would be Net Income. We exclude separation costs due to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying an estimated amount for such costs as a result of the uncertainity related to the timing and impact of the planned separation. Therefore, we are not providing an estimate for Net Income. |

First Quarter 2006 EPS from Continuing Operations before Separation Costs | | Represents our estimate of first quarter 2006 EPS from Continuing Operations excluding costs that will be incurred in connection with our plan to separate Cendant into four independent publicly-traded companies. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP measure for EPS from Continuing Operations before Separation Costs would be EPS from Continuing Operations. We exclude separation costs due to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying an estimated amount for such costs as a result of the uncertainity related to the timing and impact of the planned separation. Therefore, we are not providing an estimate for EPS from Continuing Operations. |
| | | |
2006 EBITDA Growth | | Represents our estimate of 2006 EBITDA growth over 2005 (full year) excluding costs that will be incurred in connection with our plan to separate Cendant into four independent publicly-traded companies, as well as the $425 million impairment charge recorded during fourth quarter 2005 by our Travel Distribution Services segment. We exclude separation costs due to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying an estimated amount for such costs as a result of the uncertainity related to the timing and impact of the planned separation. We exclude the $425 million impairment charge because we believe we are enhancing an investor’s ability to analyze our financial results on a comparable basis, thereby providing greater transparency into the results of operations of our core operating segments. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP measure for EBITDA would be Net Income. However, due to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying an estimated amount for separation costs as a result of the uncertainity related to the timing and impact of the planned separation, we are not providing an estimate for Net Income. |
