Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business
Frontdoor is the leading provider of home warranties in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates primarily under the American Home Shield brand. Our customizable home warranties help customers protect and maintain their homes, typically their most valuable asset, from costly and unplanned breakdowns of essential home systems and appliances. Our home warranty customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of more than
f
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Basis of Presentation
We recommend that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2023 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be achieved for the respective full year.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards
In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. We intend to adopt the provisions of this guidance in conjunction with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which improves income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. We intend to adopt the provisions of this guidance in conjunction with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3. Revenue
The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home warranty contracts entered into with our customers. Home warranty contracts are typically
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major customer acquisition channels. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by major customer acquisition channel is as follows:

Our home warranty contracts have one performance obligation, which is to provide for the repair or replacement of essential home systems and appliances, as applicable per the contract. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Those costs bear a direct relationship to the fulfillment of our obligations under the contracts and are representative of the relative fair value of the services provided to the customer. As the costs to fulfill the obligations of the home warranties are incurred on an other-than-straight-line basis, we utilize historical evidence to estimate the expected claims expense and related timing of such costs and make a corresponding adjustment each period to the timing of our related revenue recognition. This adjustment to the straight-line revenue creates a contract asset or contract liability, as described under the heading “Contract Assets and Liabilities” below. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs and adjust these estimates when appropriate.
Renewals
Revenue from customer renewals of home warranty contracts, which were previously initiated in the real estate or direct-to-consumer channel are classified as renewal revenue above. Renewals relate to consecutive contract periods and take place at the end of the first year of a real estate or direct-to-consumer home warranty contract. Customer payments for renewals are primarily received in installments over the new contract period.
Real estate
Real estate home warranties are sold through annual contracts which occur in connection with a real estate sale. These plans are typically paid in full at closing on the real estate transaction. First-year revenue from the real estate channel is classified as real estate above. At the option of the customer, upon renewal of the contract, the future revenue derived from home warranties sold in this channel is classified as renewal revenue as described above.
Direct-to-consumer
Direct-to-consumer home warranties are sold through annual contracts which occur in response to our marketing efforts. Customer payments for direct-to-consumer sales are primarily received in installments over the contract period. First-year revenue from the direct-to-consumer channel is classified as direct-to-consumer above. At the option of the customer, upon renewal of the contract, the future revenue derived from home warranties sold in this channel is classified as renewal revenue as described above.
Other
Other revenue primarily includes revenue generated by on-demand home services, as well as administrative fees and ancillary services attributable to our home warranty contracts.

Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs
We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and recognize the related expense using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract, over the expected customer relationship period. Deferred customer acquisition costs were $
Receivables, Less Allowance
We record a receivable due from customers once we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to the services provided and anticipate the collection of amounts due to us. Contracts for home warranties may be invoiced upfront or monthly in straight-line installment payments over the contract period. The payment terms are determined prior to the execution of the contract.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets arise when we recognize revenue for our home warranty contracts prior to a customer being invoiced. These timing differences are created when the recognition of revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing the services under the contract are accelerated as compared to the recognition of revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract period. There were
Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue which is recognized when cash payments are received in advance of the performance of services, including when the amounts are refundable. Amounts are recognized as revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under our contracts.

Note 5. Leases
We have operating leases primarily for our corporate headquarters located in Memphis, Tennessee, a collaboration center located in Scottsdale, Arizona and a technology collaboration center in Pune, India. We also continue to lease certain office space in other geographies, which we have either exited or subleased. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than

Note 6. Income Taxes
We are subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was generated in the United States.
We compute interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. As a result, our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter. The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was

Accruals for home warranty claims are made using internal actuarial projections, which are based on current claims and historical claims experience. Accruals are established based on estimates of the ultimate cost to settle claims. Home warranty claims take approximately
We have certain liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. We accrue for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified.
Due to the nature of our business activities, we are also at times subject to pending and threatened legal and regulatory actions that arise out of the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of any such matters is not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.

Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments
We currently use a derivative financial instrument to manage risks associated with changes in interest rates by hedging the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of an interest rate swap contract. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In designating derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments under accounting standards for derivative instruments, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. We assess at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the projected cash flows of the associated forecasted transaction.
Our interest rate swap contract is classified as a cash flow hedge, and, as such, it is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position as either an asset or liability at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in AOCI. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap contract are classified as operating activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
13
The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap contract is recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement affects earnings. See Note 11 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI and for the amounts reclassified out of AOCI and into earnings during the periods presented. As the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, we estimate the unrealized hedging gain in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is $
Note 13. Fair Value Measurements
We estimate fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. The valuation techniques require inputs that we categorize into a three-level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets ("Level 1"); direct or indirect observable inputs, including quoted prices or other market data, for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets ("Level 2"); and unobservable inputs that require significant judgment for which there is little or no market data ("Level 3"). When multiple input levels are required for a valuation, we categorize the entire fair value measurement according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement, even though we may have also utilized significant inputs that are more readily observable.
The period-end carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of our total debt were $
We determine the fair value of our interest rate swap contract using a forward interest rate curve obtained from a third-party market data provider. The fair value of the contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract interest rate to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between these two rates to the notional amount of debt in the interest rate swap contract.
We did not change our valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Transfers between hierarchy levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were
Our interest rate swap contract is currently our only financial instrument remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Note 15. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options, performance options, RSUs, performance shares and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, regarding business strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters. The words “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “shall,” “would,” “aim,” and similar expressions, among others, generally identify “forward-looking statements,” which speak only as of the date the statements were made. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. Whether any such forward-looking statements are in fact achieved will depend on future events, some of which are beyond our control.
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations. All forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this report, and we do not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, and changes in future operating results over time or otherwise. For a discussion of other important factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements included in this report, you should refer to the risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, including the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Overview
Frontdoor is the leading provider of home warranties in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates primarily under the American Home Shield brand. Our customizable home warranties help customers protect and maintain their homes, typically their most valuable asset, from costly and unplanned breakdowns of essential home systems and appliances. Our home warranty customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of more than 20 home systems and appliances, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges/ovens/cooktops, as well as optional coverages for electronics, pools, spas and pumps. Frontdoor also provides on-demand home services and a one-stop app experience for home repair and maintenance. Enabled by our Streem technology, the app empowers homeowners by connecting them in real time through video chat with qualified experts to diagnose and solve their problems. As of March 31, 2024, we had 2.0 million active home warranties across all brands in the United States.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $378 million, $34 million and $71 million, respectively, and $367 million, $22 million and $54 million, respectively. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, see “—Results of Operations—Adjusted EBITDA.”
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our total operating revenue included 79 percent of revenue derived from existing customer renewals, while seven percent and nine percent were derived from new home warranty sales made in conjunction with existing home real estate transactions and direct-to-consumer sales, respectively, and five percent was derived from other revenue channels. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our total operating revenue included 76 percent of revenue derived from existing customer renewals, while nine percent and 12 percent were derived from new home service plan sales made in conjunction with existing home real estate transactions and direct-to-consumer sales, respectively, and three percent was derived from other revenue channels.
Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations
Macroeconomic Conditions
Current macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, higher interest rates, the challenging real estate market and rising global geopolitical issues, may affect existing home sales, consumer sentiment or labor availability. These conditions may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs or otherwise adversely impact our business. While these macroeconomic conditions generally impact the United States as a whole, we believe our nationwide presence limits the impact on us of unfavorable economic conditions in any particular region of the United States.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our financial condition and results of operations continued to be adversely impacted by the following:
18
The ultimate implications of the current macroeconomic conditions on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. It remains difficult to predict the overall continuing impact these conditions will have on our business as they may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs or otherwise adversely impact our business.
Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which drive variations in our revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for interim periods. Seasonal fluctuations are primarily driven by a higher number of HVAC work orders in the summer months. In 2023, approximately 21 percent, 29 percent, 29 percent and 21 percent of our revenue, approximately 13 percent, 41 percent, 42 percent and five percent of our net income, and approximately 15 percent, 35 percent, 37 percent and 13 percent of our Adjusted EBITDA was recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.
Effect of Weather Conditions
The demand for our services, and our results of operations, are affected by weather conditions. Extreme temperatures, typically in the winter and summer months, can lead to an increase in service requests related to home systems, particularly HVAC systems, resulting in higher costs and lower profitability, while mild temperatures in the winter or summer months can lead to lower home systems claim frequency, resulting in lower costs and higher profitability. For example, favorable weather trends in 2023 as compared to 2022 resulted in a lower number of service requests per customer, which favorably impacted contract claims costs.
While weather variations as described above may affect our business, major weather events and other similar Acts of God, or natural disasters such as typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires or earthquakes, typically do not increase our obligations to provide service. Generally, repairs associated with such isolated events are addressed by homeowners’ and other forms of insurance as opposed to the home warranties that we offer.
Tariff and Import/Export Regulations
Changes in U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may impact the costs of parts, appliances and home systems. Import duties or restrictions on components and raw materials that are imposed, or the perception that they could occur, may materially and adversely affect our business by increasing our costs. For example, rising costs due to blanket tariffs on imported steel and aluminum could increase the costs of our parts, appliances and home systems.
Competition
We compete in the U.S. home warranty category and the broader U.S. home services industry. The home warranty category is highly competitive. While we have a broad range of competitors in each locality and region, we are one of the few companies that provide home warranties nationwide. The broader U.S. home services industry is also highly competitive. We compete against businesses providing on-demand home services directly and those offering leads to contractors seeking to provide on-demand home services. The principal methods of competition, and by which we differentiate ourselves from our competitors, are quality and speed of service, contract offerings, brand awareness and reputation, customer satisfaction, pricing and promotions, contractor network and referrals. We believe our nationwide network of qualified professional contractor firms, in combination with our large base of contracted customers, differentiate us from other platforms in the home services industry.
Acquisition Activity
We anticipate that the highly fragmented nature of the home warranty category will continue to create strategic opportunities for acquisitions. Historically, we have used acquisitions to cost-effectively grow our customer base in high-growth geographies, and we intend to continue to do so. We may also explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions that will expand our service offering in the broader home services industry. We have also used acquisitions to enhance our technological capabilities and geographic presence.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. We present within this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. See “—Results of Operations—Adjusted EBITDA” for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Free Cash Flow” for a reconciliation of net cash provided from operating activities to Free Cash Flow, as well as “Key Business Metrics” for further discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, and Adjusted EBITDA is also a component of our incentive compensation program. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors, analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our business performance as they facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful as a supplemental measure of our liquidity. Management uses Free Cash Flow to facilitate company-to-company cash flow comparisons, which may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to operating performance. While we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Key Business Metrics
We focus on a variety of indicators and key operating and financial metrics to monitor the financial condition and performance of the continuing operations of our business. These metrics include:
Revenue. The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home warranty contracts entered into with our customers. Home warranty contracts are typically one year in duration. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Our revenue is primarily a function of the volume and pricing of the services provided to our customers, as well as the mix of services provided. Our revenue volume is impacted by new home warranty sales, customer retention and acquisitions. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States.
Operating Expenses. In addition to changes in our revenue, our operating results are affected by, among other things, the level of our operating expenses. Our operating expenses primarily include contract claims costs and expenses associated with sales and marketing, customer service and general corporate overhead. A number of our operating expenses are subject to inflationary pressures, such as: salaries and wages, employee benefits and healthcare; contractor costs; parts, appliances and home systems costs; tariffs; insurance premiums; and various regulatory compliance costs.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share. The presentation of net income and basic and diluted earnings per share provides measures of performance which are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties in company-to-company operating performance comparisons. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, performance options (which are stock options that become exercisable upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable performance goals, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the award agreement), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares (which are contractual rights to receive a share of our common stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable performance goals, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the award agreement) and RSAs are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.
20
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. We evaluate our operating and financial performance primarily based on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before: depreciation and amortization expense; goodwill and intangibles impairment; restructuring charges; provision for income taxes; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and other non-operating expenses. We define “Adjusted EBITDA margin” as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as they facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment, restructuring initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans.
Net Cash Provided from Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow. We focus on measures designed to monitor cash flow, including net cash provided from operating activities and Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and represents net cash provided from operating activities less property additions.
Number of Home Warranties and Customer Retention Rate. We report on our number of home warranties and customer retention rate as measurements of our operating performance. These measurements are presented on a rolling 12-month basis in order to avoid seasonal anomalies. The number of home warranties is representative of our recurring home warranty customer base and is measured as the number of customers with active contracts as of the respective period-end date. Our customer retention rate is calculated as the ratio of the number of end-of-period home warranty contracts to the sum of the number of beginning-of-period home warranty contracts and the number of new home warranty sales and acquired accounts during the respective period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Revenue increased three percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in renewal revenue primarily reflects improved price realization resulting from our prior pricing actions, offset, in part, by a decline in the number of renewed home warranties. The decrease in real estate revenue primarily reflects a decline in the number of first-year real estate home warranties driven by a continuation of the challenging real estate market, offset, in part, by improved price realization from our prior pricing actions. The decrease in direct-to-consumer revenue primarily reflects a decline in the number of first-year direct-to-consumer home warranties, which we believe was driven by a decline in the overall category demand for home warranties. The increase in other revenue was primarily driven by growth in on-demand home services, primarily new HVAC sales.
The following table provides a summary of the number of home warranties, reduction in number of home warranties and customer retention rate:

The reduction in the number of home warranties as of March 31, 2024 was primarily impacted by a decline in the number of first-year real estate home warranties, which was driven by a continuation of the challenging real estate market, as well as a decline in the number of direct-to-consumer home warranties, which we believe was driven by a decline in the overall category demand for home warranties.
Cost of Services Rendered

The impact of change in revenue is driven by the reduction in number of home warranties, offset, in part, by growth in on-demand home services.
The decrease in contract claims costs primarily reflects the impact of higher trade service fees, which drove a lower number of service requests per customer and a lower net cost per service request. Ongoing inflationary cost pressures were offset, in part, by the favorable impact of continued process improvement initiatives specifically relating to better cost management across our contractor network. Additionally, contract claims costs reflects a $1 million favorable adjustment related to the development of prior period claims, compared to a $6 million favorable adjustment in the first quarter of 2023.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
We reported selling and administrative expenses of $135 million and $125 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The following table provides a summary of the components of selling and administrative expenses:

Sales and marketing costs increased primarily due to our investment in marketing associated with our direct-to-consumer channel. The decrease in customer service costs was primarily driven by a lower number of service requests. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to increased personnel costs.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation expense was $8 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Amortization expense was $1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Restructuring Charges
We had restructuring charges of less than $1 million and $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, these charges primarily include expenses related to the exit of certain operating leases and severance costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, these charges primarily include severance costs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $10 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Interest and Net Investment Income
Interest and net investment income was $5 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase driven was by higher interest rates on our cash and cash equivalent balances.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 24.4 percent and 25.2 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to the impact of share-based awards, offset, in part, by a decrease in income tax credits.
Net Income
Net income was $34 million and $22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the operating results discussed throughout “—Results of Operations” above.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $71 million and $54 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
A substantial portion of our liquidity needs are due to debt service requirements on our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit or restrict our ability, including the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, repurchase debt, incur liens, sell assets, make certain payments (including dividends) and enter into transactions with affiliates. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement. We do not believe current macroeconomic conditions will affect our ongoing ability to meet our debt covenants.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $378 million and $325 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents include balances associated with regulatory requirements in our business. See “—Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries.” As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total net assets subject to these third-party restrictions were $165 million and $157 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, there was $2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our $250 million Revolving Credit Facility, and the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $248 million. The letters of credit are posted in lieu of cash to satisfy regulatory requirements in certain states in which we operate. We currently believe that cash generated from operations, our cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2024 will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations in the short- and long-term.
We closely monitor the performance of our investment portfolio, primarily cash deposits. From time to time, we review the statutory reserve requirements to which our regulated entities are subject and any changes to such requirements. These reviews may result in identifying current reserve levels above or below minimum statutory reserve requirements, in which case we may adjust our reserves. The reviews may also identify opportunities to satisfy certain regulatory reserve requirements through alternate financial vehicles.
We have a diversified investment strategy for our cash investments and give priority to the major financial institutions that serve as lenders under the Credit Agreement. Generally, our cash deposits may be redeemed on demand and are maintained with major financial institutions with solid credit ratings, although our holdings exceed insured limits in substantially all of our accounts.
We may, from time to time, issue new debt, repurchase or otherwise retire or extend our debt and/or take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position, gross leverage, results of operations or cash flows. These actions may include new debt issuance, open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of outstanding debt and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be issued, repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, and the price of such issuances, repurchases, retirements or refinancings will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.
On September 7, 2021, we announced a three-year repurchase authorization of up to $400 million of outstanding shares of our common stock. We expect to fund the share repurchases from net cash provided from operating activities. As of March 31, 2024, we have repurchased a total of 8,483,316 outstanding shares at a cost of $294 million, which is included in treasury stock on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, and we had $106 million remaining available for future repurchases under this program. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made from time to time by the company in the open market at prevailing market prices (including through a Rule 10b5-1 Plan), in privately negotiated transactions, or through any combination of these methods, through September 3, 2024. The actual timing, number, manner and value of any shares repurchased will depend on several factors, including the market price of the company’s stock, general market and economic conditions, the company’s liquidity requirements, applicable legal requirements and other business considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any number of shares in any specific period or at all and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.
Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries
We depend on our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us so that we may pay obligations and expenses, including satisfying obligations with respect to indebtedness. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions and dividends to us depends on their operating results, cash requirements, financial condition and general business conditions, as well as restrictions under the laws of our subsidiaries’ jurisdictions.
25
Our subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to us.
Furthermore, there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us. The payments of ordinary and extraordinary dividends by certain of our subsidiaries (through which we conduct our business) are subject to significant regulatory restrictions under the laws and regulations of the states in which they operate. Among other things, such laws and regulations require certain subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital and net worth requirements and may limit the amount of ordinary and extraordinary dividends and other payments that these subsidiaries can pay to us. We expect that such limitations will be in effect for the foreseeable future. None of our subsidiaries are obligated to make funds available to us through the payment of dividends.
Cash Flows
Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are summarized in the following table:

Operating Activities
Net cash provided from operating activities was $84 million and $60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net cash provided from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 comprised $51 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $34 million in cash provided from working capital, offset, in part, by $1 million in payments for restructuring charges. Cash provided from working capital was primarily driven by seasonality, offset, in part, by payments of accrued bonuses and a decline in the number of first-year real estate home warranties, which are typically paid for upfront at the time of closing on the home sale.
Net cash provided from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 comprised $35 million in earnings
adjusted for non-cash charges and $26 million in cash provided from working capital, offset, in part, by $1 million in payments for restructuring charges. Cash provided from working capital was primarily driven by seasonality.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $10 million and $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Capital expenditures were $10 million and $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and included recurring capital needs and technology projects. We expect capital expenditures for the full year 2024 relating to committed, recurring capital needs and the continuation of investments in information systems and productivity enhancing technology to be approximately $35 million to $45 million. We have no additional material capital commitments at this time.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $21 million and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we made scheduled principal payments of debt of $4 million and purchased outstanding shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $13 million. Repurchases of common stock included associated commissions and taxes of less than $1 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we made scheduled principal payments of debt of $4 million.
