MADISON, N.J., Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), a global leader in residential real estate franchising and provider of real estate brokerage, relocation, and title and settlement services, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, including the following highlights:
- Net revenue for third quarter 2014 was $1.5 billion, a 1% decrease compared to third quarter 2013.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 for third quarter 2014 was $287 million, up $1 million from $286 million in the third quarter of 2013.
- Net income for third quarter 2014 was $100 million, which is net of $71 million of GAAP income tax expense, $54 million of interest expense, $48 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $6 million of ZipRealty-related transaction and integration costs.
- Basic earnings per share was $0.68 for third quarter 2014.
- Realogy generated $234 million of free cash flow during the quarter, or $1.60 per share, an increase of 17% compared to $1.37 in the third quarter of 2013.
- Cash taxes for third quarter 2014 were $2 million as the Company continued to utilize a portion of its approximately $2 billion of net operating losses.
"The quarter produced strong cash flow in part due to our continued investment in growth and lower interest expense," said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chairman, chief executive officer and president. "Our third quarter Adjusted EBITDA matched the third quarter of 2013, even in the face of difficult comparisons from the same quarter last year, which we believe was bolstered by accelerated home closings in a rising mortgage rate environment. In addition, we completed the ZipRealty acquisition, and its integration is going well. We continue to be excited about the strategic opportunities available to us as a result of this transaction."
For the third quarter of 2014, Realogy's company-owned and franchise business segments' combined homesale transaction volume (transaction sides times average sale price) increased by 2%, as compared to third quarter of 2013. RFG and NRT reported average homesale price improvements of 6% and 5%, respectively year-over-year while homesale transactions declined 3% and 4%, respectively.
At Cartus, the Company's relocation services segment, initiations for third quarter 2014 increased 3% and referrals increased 3% compared to third quarter 2013. At TRG, the company's title and settlement services segment, purchase unit volume decreased 4% year over year, which was consistent with NRT homesale transaction declines. Average fee per transaction improved 24% due to a shift in the mix of business to home purchase transactions from refinancing transactions. TRG's refinance title and closing units decreased 63% in third quarter 2014 compared to 2013, which was expected given lower refinancing trends across the industry.
"Looking ahead, we anticipate full year 2014 Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $765 to $775 million," said Anthony E. Hull, executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "For the fourth quarter of 2014, based on our closed sales activity in October, along with contracts opened in September and October, we expect homesale sides to be up +1% to +3% year-over-year, and average sale price to increase +3% to +5% on a combined basis. As a result, we expect to see homesale transaction volume in the range of +4% to +8% year-over-year for RFG and NRT combined for the fourth quarter."
"We expect to end the year with approximately $400 million of cash and cash equivalents and to be well positioned to make further progress toward our goal of reducing interest expense and deleveraging the balance sheet as we move into 2015," added Hull.
The Company ended the third quarter with a cash and cash equivalents balance of $268 million and no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Total long-term corporate debt, including the short term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.7 billion at September 30, 2014.
A condensed consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

Non-GAAP Definitions
EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets 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 restructuring costs, former parent legacy cost (benefit) items, net, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, non-cash charges, non-recurring fair value adjustments for purchase accounting, fees for the secondary equity offerings and incremental securitization interest costs, as well as pro forma cost savings for restructuring initiatives, 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. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a three-month period adjusts for the same items as for a twelve-month period, except that the pro forma effect of cost savings, business optimizations and acquisitions and new franchisees are calculated as of the beginning of the three-month period instead 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 required 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 period 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 income (loss) attributable to Realogy before income tax (benefit) expense, net of payments, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefits), net of payments, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capital adjustments and relocation assets, 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.
