CoStar Group First Quarter 2025 Revenue Increased 12% Year-over-Year
Strong net new bookings growth in CoStar, LoopNet year-over-year
Apartments.com adds most properties in a quarter since 2016
Homes.com continues to rapidly scale sales force
CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP), a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, analytics and 3D digital twin technology in the property markets, announced today that revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $732 million, up 12% over revenue of $656 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Net loss was $15 million and net loss per diluted share was $0.04 for the first quarter of 2025, which included a negative impact of $31 million associated with the Matterport acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA was $66 million in Q1 2025, an increase of 429% from Q1 2024.
"CoStar Group delivered another strong quarter of results achieving 12% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1 2025, our 56th quarter of double-digit revenue growth as we met the top-end of our revenue guidance and exceeded the top-end of our Adjusted EBITDA guidance," said Andy Florance Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. "Once again, CoStar Group's commercial information and marketplace brands1 delivered exceptional results with a 43% profit margin for Q1 2025. We are gaining sales momentum across the board. In Q1 2025, our commercial real estate businesses, CoStar and LoopNet, had very strong annualized net new bookings with CoStar up 68% year-over-year, the highest level since Q3 2023 and LoopNet generating an impressive 200% increase year-over-year, which was LoopNet's highest level since Q3 2022. In Q1 2025, Apartments.com added 4,300 properties, the most properties in one quarter since Q1 2016. Today, our dedicated Homes.com salesforce has grown to 370 representatives and we believe we will be at 500 sales reps by the end of June, as we continue to gain sales momentum. In April, Homes.com's demo-to-close rate increased to over 50%, the highest ever by any CoStar Group sales team. This demonstrates the strong demand for Homes.com."
Florance continued, "In one year, the Homes.com Network has become the second largest in the industry in the United States, with 104 million average monthly unique visitors 2. In Q1 2025, unaided consumer awareness grew to 36% up from just 4% before the February 2024 launch. Importantly, Member agents are winning 61% more listings than comparable non-Member agents3. Our Net Promoter Score has risen 85 points since May 2024 to 43 today."
"We completed the Matterport acquisition in February 2025," said Florance. "Matterport is the best way to present physical real estate spaces online and transform them into data. There are valuable applications for every type of real estate, and we plan to deploy Matterport across CoStar Group and meaningfully expand this unique data set."

2025 Outlook
"This quarter, we delivered strong revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA growth as we met the top end of our revenue guidance and exceeded the top-end of our Adjusted EBITDA guidance," said Christian Lown, CFO of CoStar Group. The Company now expects revenue in the range of $3.115 billion to $3.155 billion for the full year 2025, representing revenue growth of approximately 15% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range. The Company expects revenue for the second quarter of 2025 in the range of $770 million to $775 million, representing revenue growth of approximately 14% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range.
"With the inclusion of Matterport, we now expect adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2025 in the range of $355 million to $385 million, a margin of 12% at the midpoint of the range. For the second quarter of 2025, we expect adjusted EBITDA in the range of $50 million to $60 million."
The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group's expectations as of April 29, 2025, including forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis, based on current estimates, expectations, observations, and trends. Given the risk factors, rapidly evolving economic environment, and uncertainties and assumptions discussed in this release and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, actual results may differ materially. Other than in publicly available statements, the Company does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement.
Reconciliations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are shown in detail below, along with definitions for those terms. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, can be found within the tables included in this release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations, please refer to the Company's latest periodic report.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group before interest income or expense, net and other income or expense, net; loss on debt extinguishment; income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense; acquisition- and integration-related costs; restructuring and related costs; and settlements and impairments incurred outside the Company's ordinary course of business. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues for the period.
Operating Metrics
Net new bookings is calculated based on the annualized amount of change in the Company's sales bookings resulting from new subscription-based contracts, changes to existing subscription-based contracts and cancellations of subscription-based contracts for the period reported. Information regarding net new bookings is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of the Company's revenues over time.
Earnings Conference Call
Management will conduct a conference call to discuss the first quarter 2025 results and the Company's outlook at 5:00 PM ET on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. A live audio webcast of the conference will be available in listen-only mode through the Investors section of the CoStar Group website: https://investors.costargroup.com. A replay of the webcast audio will also be available in the Investors section of our website for a period of time following the call.

Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements and the assumptions and estimates used as a basis for the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause or contribute to such differences: our inability to attract and retain new clients; our inability to successfully develop and introduce new or updated online marketplace services, information, and analytics; our inability to compete successfully against existing or future competitors in attracting advertisers and in general; the effects of fluctuations and market cyclicality; the effects of global economic uncertainties and downturns or a downturn or consolidation in the real estate industry; our inability to hire qualified persons for, or retain and continue to develop our sales force, or unproductivity of our sales force; our inability to retain and attract highly capable management and operating personnel; the downward pressure that our internal and external investments may place on our operating margins; our inability to increase brand awareness; our inability to maintain or increase internet traffic to our marketplaces, and the risk that the methods, including Google Analytics, that we use to measure average monthly unique visitors to our portals may misstate the actual number of unique persons who visit our network of mobile applications and websites for a given month or may differ from the methods used by competitors; our inability to attract new advertisers; our inability to successfully identify, finance, integrate, and/or manage costs related to acquisitions; our inability to complete certain strategic transactions if a proposed transaction is subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to applicable laws or regulations; our inability to realize the benefits of the acquisition of Matterport; the effects of cyberattacks and security vulnerabilities, and technical problems or disruptions; the significant costs associated with undertaking a large infrastructure project to build out our campus in Richmond, Virginia; our inability to generate increased revenues from our current or future geographic expansion plans; the risks related to acceptance of credit cards and debit cards and facilitation of other customer payments; the effects of climate related events and other events beyond our control; the effects related to attention to environmental, social and governance matters; our inability to obtain and maintain accurate, comprehensive, or reliable data; our inability to obtain and maintain stable data feeds, or disruption of our data feeds; our inability to enforce or defend our ownership and use of intellectual property; the effects of use of new and evolving technologies, including artificial intelligence, on our ability to protect our data and intellectual property from misappropriation by third parties; our inability to defend against potential legal liability for collecting, displaying, or distributing information; our inability to obtain or retain listings from real estate brokers, agents, property owners, and apartment property managers; our inability to maintain or establish relationships with third-party listing providers; our inability to comply with the rules and compliance requirements of Multiple Listing Services; the risks related to international operations; the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; our indebtedness; the effects of a lowering or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to our debt securities by rating agencies; the effects of any actual or perceived failure to comply with privacy laws and standards; the effects of changes in tax laws, regulations, or fiscal and tax policies; the effects of third-party claims, litigation, regulatory proceedings, or government investigations; and risks related to return on investment. More information about potential factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those stated in CoStar Group's filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including in CoStar Group's Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is filed with the SEC, including in the "Risk Factors" section of those filings, as well as CoStar Group's other filings with the SEC (including Current Reports on Form 8-K) available at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov).
