MADISON, N.J., Oct. 27, 2022 /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 quarter ended September 30, 2022.

"In the third quarter Anywhere delivered meaningful profitability, even with an increasingly challenging housing backdrop," said Ryan Schneider, Anywhere president and CEO. "I believe Anywhere is well-positioned to lead through the current environment and into the future as we continue to strategically invest to grow our core business and simplify the consumer experience."

"We are on course this year to realize our cost savings target, proactively redeem our 2023 debt maturities, and integrate our brokerage and title operations, all of which strengthen the foundation of our business and improve our cost basis," said Charlotte Simonelli, Anywhere executive vice president, chief financial officer, and treasurer. "Our third quarter's results demonstrated our profit delivery even in a challenging part of housing market."

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

Generated Revenue of $1.8 billion, a decrease of 17% year-over-year, largely impacted by lower homesale transaction volume and the absence of $99 million of revenue at Title Group due to the sale of the Title Insurance Underwriter during the first quarter of 2022.
Reported Net income of $55 million, a decrease of $59 million vs. prior year, and basic earnings per share of $0.49.
Generated Operating EBITDA of $166 million, a decrease of $107 million year-over-year (See Table 5a), primarily due to lower homesale transaction volume and an increase in legal accruals.
On track to deliver the previously committed permanent and temporary cost savings of $140 million and increased the full year savings target to $150 million.
Generated Free Cash Flow of $99 million vs. $282 million for the corresponding quarter last year (See Table 7).
Combined closed transaction volume decreased 17% year-over-year.
Anywhere Advisors agent count grew 7% year-over-year on a like for like basis, the ninth consecutive quarter of sequential growth, and continued to maintain strong retention levels.
At September 30, 2022, our Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 0.02x (See Table 8a) and Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 3.8x (See Table 8b).
On October 18, 2022, the Company issued a notice of redemption to redeem on November 17, 2022 all of the $340 million of its outstanding 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023.
Recognized by Forbes magazine as one of the World's Best Employers for the second consecutive year.

Footnotes:

¹	See Tables 5a and 5b. Operating EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets.
²	See Table 1a. Adjusted Net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) before mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, former parent legacy items, restructuring charges, (gain) loss on 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. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.
³	See Table 7. Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Anywhere before income tax expense (benefit), income tax payments, net interest expense, 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.
⁴	Includes all franchisees except for Owned Brokerage Group.
⁵	The Company's combined homesale transaction volume growth (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price) decreased 17% compared with the third quarter of 2021.

2022 Financial Estimates

The Company's previous estimate of Operating EBITDA for full year 2022 had been in the range of $600 to $700 million, which was based on an estimated decline in projected year-over-year homesale transaction volume in the range of (10)% to (20)% in the second half of 2022.

The Company now estimates year-over-year declines in homesale transaction volume of over 25% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Based off this lower estimated volume, the Company does not believe it will achieve the low end of its prior estimate of Operating EBITDA for full year 2022 and is not providing a revised estimate in light of the current high degree of macroeconomic volatility, in particular with respect to factors impacting the residential real estate industry.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $272 million. Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $2.6 billion at September 30, 2022. The Company's Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 3.8x at September 30, 2022 (see Table 8b).

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company used cash on hand to repurchase $7 million of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 in open market purchases at approximately par value, plus accrued interest to the repurchase date. As of September 30th, $340 million of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 remain outstanding. On October 18, 2022, the Company issued a notice of redemption to redeem on November 17, 2022 all of the $340 million of its outstanding 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 using borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased and retired 4.9 million shares of common stock for $52 million. As of September 30, 2022, $203 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

(In millions, except per share data)

We present Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share because we believe these measures are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provide greater transparency into our operating results.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before: (a) mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, whose fair value is subject to movements in LIBOR and the forward yield curve and therefore are subject to significant fluctuations; (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. The gross amounts for these items as well as the adjustment for income taxes are shown in the table below.

Commencing in the first quarter of 2022, the Company revised its approach to Adjusted net income to exclude the impact of the sale of businesses, investments or other assets. Adjusted net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 have been revised to reflect this change.

Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is Adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.

Set forth in the table below is a reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION - SENIOR SECURED LEVERAGE RATIO

FOR THE FOUR-QUARTER PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(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 September 30, 2022, 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-quarters 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 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 adjustments to Operating EBITDA for retention and disposition costs, non-cash charges 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 trailing four-quarter period. The Company was in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant at September 30, 2022 with a ratio of 0.02 to 1.00.

Non-GAAP Definitions

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, former parent legacy items, restructuring charges, the (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, the (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets and the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. The gross amounts for these items as well as the adjustment for income taxes are presented.

Operating 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), income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets. Operating EBITDA is our primary non-GAAP measure.

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.
