MADISON,
N.J., April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Anywhere
Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS) ("Anywhere" or the "Company"), a
global leader in residential real estate services, today reported
financial results for the first quarter ended March 31,
2024.
"Anywhere continued to demonstrate powerful leadership in the
face of a challenging housing market and industry landscape, and
our results in the quarter reinforce our ability to execute with
discipline and focus while propelling our strategy forward," said
Ryan Schneider, Anywhere president
and CEO. "I appreciate how our great Anywhere affiliated agents,
franchisees, and employees continue to deliver meaningful value to
help consumers navigate the market as, together, we empower
everyone's next move."
"Anywhere delivered solid results in the first quarter despite a
tough market environment," said Charlotte
Simonelli, Anywhere executive vice president, chief
financial officer, and treasurer. "We are excited about our
financial octane when the housing market strengthens and continue
to stay focused on controlling what we can control, maximizing our
cost savings, prudently managing cash, and improving our capital
structure to position Anywhere for long-term success."
First Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Generated Revenue of $1.1
billion, flat year-over-year, impacted by combined homesale
transaction volume increases versus prior year offset by declines
in relocation revenue.
- This is the first quarter of transaction volume increases in
two years. Combined closed transaction volume increased 2%
year-over-year in the first quarter with units down about 4% and
price up 7%.
- Our strength in luxury continued to outperform with our
Sotheby's International Realty brand seeing closed transaction
volume up 7% year-over-year with about half of that from unit
growth as it again meaningfully outperformed the market and our
portfolio.
- Reported Net loss of $101 million
and Adjusted Net Loss of $88
million.
- Operating EBITDA loss of $17
million, $35 million
improvement year-over-year (See Table 5) with March Operating
EBITDA solidly positive.
- Realized cost savings of approximately $30 million and on track to deliver at least
$100 million for the full year.
- Commission splits in the first quarter were down 3 basis points
year-over-year, continuing the six-quarter trend of more stable
splits.
- Free Cash Flow of negative $145
million with the first quarter being a seasonal use quarter
for the business (See Table 7).
- Anywhere was recognized by Fortune's America's Most Innovative
Companies list for the second year in a row and was once again
named one of the World's Most Ethical Companies for the 13th
consecutive year.

the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, (gain) loss on the
sale of businesses, investments or other assets and the tax effect
of the foregoing adjustments.

2024 Financial Estimates
The Company expects to realize cost savings of at least
$100 million in 2024.
The Company expects our operating Free Cash Flow excluding
one-time items to be modestly positive in 2024 as favorable working
capital, robust savings programs, and our cash management
discipline will help counterbalance another tough year in housing.
And as a reminder, we have over $100
million of one-time payments anticipated this year between
the $73.5 million class action
litigation payment and the $39
million legacy California
tax matter.
These estimates are subject to, among other things,
macroeconomic and housing market uncertainties, including those
related to rising inflation, declining affordability and
constrained inventory as well as competitive, litigation and
regulatory uncertainties.
Balance Sheet
Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of
cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled
$2.6 billion at March 31, 2024.
The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of
$111 million. The Company's Senior
Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.77x at March 31, 2024 (see Table
8a). The Company's Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 8.1x at
March 31, 2024 (see Table 8b).
As of April 24, 2024 the Company
had $525 million of outstanding
borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.
A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this
press release.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements,"
within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by words such as: "believes",
"expects", "anticipates", "intends", "projects", "estimates",
"potential" and "plans" and similar expressions or future or
conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", "may" and
"could", and include statements that refer to expectations or other
characterizations of future events, circumstances or results.
Examples of forward-looking statements include the information
appearing under 2024 Financial Estimates.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor
assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on
our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the
future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections,
anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future
conditions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of Anywhere Real Estate
Inc. to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.
The following include some, but not all, of the factors that
could affect our future results and cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:
adverse developments or the absence of sustained improvement in the
U.S. residential real estate markets, either regionally or
nationally, which could include, but are not limited to, factors
that impact homesale transaction volume, such as: prolonged periods
of a high mortgage rate environment, high rates of inflation,
reduced housing affordability and increasing costs of home
ownership, a lack of housing inventory and a continued low number
of home sales; adverse developments or the absence of sustained
improvement in macroeconomic conditions (such as business, economic
or political conditions) on a global, domestic or local basis,
which could include, but are not limited to, contraction or
stagnation in the U.S. economy, geopolitical and economic
instability, including as related to foreign conflicts and supply
chain disruptions, continued or accelerated increases in inflation
and fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government; failure
to obtain final court approval of the settlement related to our
seller antitrust class action litigation and other adverse
developments or outcomes in current or future litigation, in
particular pending antitrust litigation and litigation related to
the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA); industry structure
changes that disrupt the functioning of the residential real estate
market, including the manner in which any broker commissions are
communicated, negotiated or paid; the impact of evolving
competitive and consumer dynamics, including meaningful decreases
in the average broker commission rate, continued erosion of the
Company's share of the commission income generated by homesale
transactions, our ability to compete against traditional and
non-traditional competitors and our ability to adapt our business
to changing consumer preferences; our ability to execute our
business strategy and achieve growth, including with respect to the
recruitment and retention of productive independent sales agents,
attraction and retention of franchisees, development or procurement
of products, services and technology, including the integration of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other machine learning,
achievement or maintenance of a beneficial cost structure and our
ability to realize the expected benefits from our existing or
future joint ventures or strategic partnerships; risks related to
our substantial indebtedness, particularly heightened during
industry downturns or broader recessions, which could adversely
limit our operations, including our ability to grow our business,
adversely impact our liquidity and/or and our ability, and any
actions we may take, to refinance, restructure or repay our
indebtedness; risks related to our business structure, including
our geographic and high-end market concentration, the operating
results of our affiliated franchisees, their ability to pay
franchise and related fees and potential claims we could face due
to their actions, the continued consolidation among our top 250
franchisees, and risks related to our reliance on information
technology to operate our business and maintain our
competitiveness; disruption in the residential real estate
brokerage industry related to listing aggregator market power and
concentration; our failure or alleged failure to
comply with laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations and
any changes or stricter interpretations of any of the foregoing,
including but not limited to (1) antitrust laws and regulations,
(2) the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other federal or
state consumer protection or similar laws, (3) state or federal
employment laws or regulations that would require reclassification
of independent contractor sales agents to employee status, (4) the
TCPA, and (5) privacy or data security laws and regulations;
cybersecurity incidents; impairment of our goodwill and other
long-lived assets; the accuracy of market forecasts and estimates;
and significant fluctuation in the price of our common
stock.
Consideration should be given to the areas of risk described
above, as well as those risks set forth under the headings
"Forward-Looking Statements," "Summary of Risk Factors," "Risk
Factors" and "Legal Proceedings" in our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023, and our other filings
made from time to time, in connection with considering any
forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our
businesses generally. We undertake no obligation to release
publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report
events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events except
as required by law.

RECONCILIATION - SENIOR SECURED LEVERAGE RATIO
FOR THE FOUR-QUARTER PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2024
(In millions)
|
|
The senior secured
leverage ratio is tested quarterly pursuant to the terms of the
senior secured credit facilities*. For the trailing four-quarter
period ended March 31, 2024, Anywhere Real Estate Group LLC
("Anywhere Group") was required to maintain a senior secured
leverage ratio not to exceed 4.75 to 1.00. The senior secured
leverage ratio is measured by dividing Anywhere Group's total
senior secured net debt by the trailing four-quarter EBITDA
calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the
Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Total senior secured net debt does
not include the 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes*, our
unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes* and
Exchangeable Senior Notes*, or the securitization obligations.
EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as defined in the Senior
Secured Credit Agreement, includes the bank adjustments set forth
below. The Company was in compliance with the senior secured
leverage ratio covenant at March 31, 2024 with a ratio of
1.77x to 1.00.

Net loss attributable
to Anywhere Group consists of: (i) income of $19 million for the
second quarter of 2023, (ii) income of $129 million for the third
quarter of 2023, (iii) loss of $107 million for the fourth quarter
of 2023 and (iv) loss of $101 million for the first quarter of
2024.
|
(b)

Represents the
four-quarter pro forma effect of business optimization
initiatives.
|
(c)
|
Represents non-cash
long term incentive compensation charges, other non-cash charges
and extraordinary, nonrecurring or unusual litigation
charges.
|
(d)
|
Represents the
estimated impact of acquisitions and franchise sales activity, net
of brokerages that exited our franchise system, as if these changes
had occurred at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period.
Franchisee sales activity is comprised of new franchise agreements
as well as growth through acquisitions and independent sales agent
recruitment by existing franchisees with our assistance. We have
made a number of assumptions in calculating such estimates and
there can be no assurance that we would have generated the
projected levels of Operating EBITDA had we owned the acquired
entities or entered into the franchise contracts as of the
beginning of the trailing twelve-month period.

refinancing for the four-quarter period ended March 31,

(f)

Represents total
borrowings secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $640
million under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A
Facility plus $21 million of finance lease obligations less $88
million of readily available cash as of March 31, 2024. Pursuant to
the terms of our senior secured credit facilities, total senior
secured net debt does not include our securitization obligations,
7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes or unsecured indebtedness,
including the Unsecured Notes and Exchangeable Senior
Notes.

Our senior secured
credit facilities include the facilities under our Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 5, 2013, as amended
from time to time (the "Senior Secured Credit Agreement"), and the
Term Loan A Agreement dated as of October 23, 2015 (the "Term Loan
A Agreement"), as amended from time to time. Our Senior Secured
Second Lien Notes include our 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien
Notes due in 2030. Our Unsecured Notes include our 5.75% Senior
Notes due 2029 and 5.25% Senior Notes due 2030. Exchangeable Senior
Notes refers to our 0.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes due
2026.

Non-GAAP Definitions
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss)
before: (a) mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments; (b)
former parent legacy items, which pertain to liabilities of the
former parent for matters prior to mid-2006 and are non-operational
in nature; (c) restructuring charges as a result of initiatives
currently in progress; (d) impairments; (e) the (gain) loss on the
early extinguishment of debt that results from refinancing and
deleveraging debt initiatives; (f) the (gain) loss on the sale of
businesses, investments or other assets and (g) the tax effect of
the foregoing adjustments. We present Adjusted net income (loss)
because we believe this measure is useful as a supplemental measure
in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and
provides greater transparency into our operating results.
Operating EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for
depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (excluding
relocation services interest for securitization assets and
securitization obligations), income taxes, and certain non-core
items. Non-core items include restructuring charges, former parent
legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt,
impairments, and gains or losses on discontinued operations or the
sale of businesses, investments or other assets. Operating EBITDA
is our primary non-GAAP measure. Operating EBITDA Margin is defined
as Operating EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.
We present Operating EBITDA because we believe it is useful as a
supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operating
businesses and provides greater transparency into our results of
operations. Our management, including our chief operating decision
maker, uses Operating EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the
performance of our business. Operating 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 Operating 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, as well as other items that are not
core to the operating activities of the Company such as
restructuring charges, gains or losses on the early extinguishment
of debt, former parent legacy items, impairments, gains or losses
on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of
businesses, investments or other assets, which may vary for
different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance.
We further believe that Operating EBITDA is frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in
their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Operating
EBITDA measure when reporting their results.
Operating EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you
should not consider Operating EBITDA either in isolation or as a
substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some
of these limitations are:
- this measure does not reflect changes in, or cash required for,
our working capital needs;
- this measure does 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;
- this measure does not reflect our income tax expense or the
cash requirements to pay our taxes;
- this measure does 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 this measure does not reflect any
cash requirements for such replacements; and
- other companies may calculate this measure differently so they
may not be comparable.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to
Anywhere before income tax expense (benefit), income tax payments,
interest expense, net, cash interest payments, depreciation and
amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former
parent legacy costs (benefits), net of payments, impairments,
(gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets,
(gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working
capital adjustments and relocation receivables (assets), net
of change in securitization obligations. We use Free Cash Flow in
our internal evaluation of operating effectiveness and decisions
regarding the allocation of resources, as well as measuring the
Company's ability to generate cash. Since Free Cash Flow can be
viewed as both a performance measure and a cash flow measure, the
Company has provided a reconciliation to both net income
attributable to Anywhere and net cash provided by operating
activities. Free Cash Flow is 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 or
liquidity. Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled measures
presented by other companies.
