REALOGY REPORTS RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2011

Real Estate Leader Posts Net Revenue of $1.2 Billion

PARSIPPANY, N.J., November 1, 2011 – Realogy Corporation, a global leader in real estate and relocation services, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. Realogy’s net revenue for the third quarter was $1.2 billion, an increase of 10% compared to the third quarter of 2010. This was largely attributable to an increase in transaction volume in the franchised and company-owned real estate services segments, which was in line with reported national industry trends. Realogy’s EBITDA before restructuring and other items for the quarter was $187 million, an increase of 8%, year-over-year. Realogy’s reported EBITDA for the quarter was $187 million. For the quarter, Realogy recorded a net loss attributable to the Company of $28 million.

“Despite difficult macro-economic issues, our third quarter produced 10% revenue growth and 8% growth in our EBITDA before restructuring and other items,” said Richard A. Smith, Realogy’s president and chief executive officer. “Given the macroeconomic headwinds facing the housing market, our operating performance has shown resilience. We believe we are substantially advantaged with our leaner, highly variable cost model, a capital structure that includes $2.1 billion of convertible debt and the continued support of our largest investors. We are fortunate to have market-leading brands, a talented workforce and a stable and results-oriented management team committed to the long-term success and growth of our business.”

Looking at Realogy’s core business drivers, Realogy Franchise Group (RFG) and NRT, the company-owned brokerage unit, had year-over-year increases in the number of homesale sides of 10% and 16%, respectively. The increase in transaction sides at Realogy was partially offset by average sales price decreases at both RFG and NRT. The average homesale price decreased 1% at RFG and 5% at NRT in the third quarter of 2011, largely from a shift in our business to more lower-priced homes. Cartus experienced a 2% increase in relocation initiations and a 13% increase in broker referrals, while Title Resource Group experienced a 14% increase in purchase title and closing units and a 5% increase in the average price per closing unit, which offset a 19% decrease in refinance title and closing units.

“We anticipate fourth quarter home sale sides to increase, but at a slower pace than we saw in the third quarter as indicated by our preliminary October home sale sides being up approximately 8%, and average sales price to be down for the fourth quarter consistent with the NAR November forecast,” said Anthony E. Hull, Realogy’s chief financial officer. “The trend we are seeing currently is that in many of our markets, affordability of owning a home, particularly for first-time buyers, is driving activity at the lower end of the housing market. This has the impact of increasing unit volume while putting pressure on price. We expect that this trend will continue into 2012.”

Balance Sheet Information and Covenant Compliance as of September 30, 2011

The Company ended the quarter with $62 million of readily available cash and $50 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility under its senior secured credit agreement. As of October 31st, the Company had $300 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The Company expects approximately half of these borrowings to be repaid by the end of the December.

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

As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio (SSLR) was 4.15 to 1, which is well below the 4.75 to 1 maximum ratio required to be in compliance with its senior secured credit agreement. This was a quarter turn improvement from the SSLR at June 30, 2011. The SSLR is determined by dividing Realogy’s senior secured net debt of $2.5 billion at September 30, 2011 by the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA of $591 million for the 12 months ended September 30, 2011. (Please see Table 8 for the definition of non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Tables 6 and 7 for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure, net loss attributable to Realogy.)

Hull, executive vice president, CFO and treasurer.

(a) Net loss attributable to Realogy consists of: (i) a loss of $91 million for the fourth quarter of 2010; (ii) a loss of $237 million for the first quarter of 2011; (iii) a loss of $22 million for the second quarter of 2011 and (iv) a loss of $28 million for the third quarter of 2011.
(b) EBITDA consists of: (i) $103 million for the fourth quarter of 2010; (ii) a negative $11 million for the first quarter of 2011; (iii) $187 million for the second quarter of 2011 and (iv) $187 million for the third quarter of 2011.
(c) Consists of $17 million of restructuring costs and $1 million of merger costs offset by a net benefit of $25 million for former parent legacy items.
(d) Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in subsequent periods due to restructuring activities initiated during the first nine months of 2011. From this restructuring, we expect to reduce our operating costs by approximately $17 million on a twelve-month run-rate basis and estimate that $5 million of such savings were realized from the time they were put in place. The adjustment shown represents the impact the savings would have had on the period from October 1, 2010 through the time they were put in place had those actions been effected on October 1, 2010.
(e) Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in subsequent periods due to restructuring activities initiated during the year ended December 31, 2010. From this restructuring, we expect to reduce our operating costs by approximately $34 million on a twelve-month run-rate basis and estimate that $31 million of such savings were realized from the time they were put in place. The adjustment shown represents the impact the savings would have had on the period from October 1, 2010 through the time they were put in place had those actions been effected on October 1, 2010.
(f)

Represents the twelve-month pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives that have been completed to reduce costs, including $2 million related to our Relocation Services integration costs, new business start-ups and acquisition related non-cash adjustments, $5 million related to vendor renegotiations, $37 million for employee retention accruals and $6 million of other initiatives. The employee retention accruals reflect the employee retention plans that have been implemented in lieu of our customary

  bonus plan, due to the ongoing and prolonged downturn in the housing market in order to ensure the retention of executive officers and other key personnel, principally within our corporate services unit and the corporate offices of our four business units.
(g) Represents the elimination of non-cash expenses, including $7 million of stock-based compensation expense and $2 million of other items less $6 million for the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes reserves from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.
(h) Reflects the adjustment for the negative impact of fair value adjustments for purchase accounting at the operating business segments primarily related to deferred rent.
(i) Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and new franchisees as if they had been acquired or signed on October 1, 2010. Franchisee sales activity is comprised of new franchise agreements as well as growth acquired by existing franchisees with our assistance. We have made a number of assumptions in calculating such estimate and there can be no assurance that we would have generated the projected levels of EBITDA had we owned the acquired entities or entered into the franchise contracts as of October 1, 2010.
(j) Represents the elimination of annual management fees payable to Apollo for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.
(k) Incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization facilities refinancing for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.
(l) Represents total borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility which are secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $2,503 million plus $12 million of capital lease obligations less $62 million of readily available cash as of September 30, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, senior secured net debt does not include First and a Half Lien Notes, Second Lien Loans, other bank indebtedness not secured by a first lien on our assets, securitization obligations or Unsecured Notes.

Table 8

Definitions

EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest (income) expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations) and income taxes. EBITDA before restructuring and other items is defined by us as EBITDA adjusted for restructuring costs, former parent legacy cost (benefit) items, netand loss on the early extinguishment of debt . Adjusted EBITDA corresponds to the definition of “EBITDA” used in the senior secured credit facility, calculated on a “pro forma basis,” to demonstrate our compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant in the senior secured credit facility. We present EBITDA, EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe EBITDA, EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Adjusted EBITDA are useful as supplemental measures 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 EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items as a factor in evaluating the performance of our business. EBITDA, EBITDA before restructuring and other items 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. See Tables 6 & 7 for a presentation of net income (loss) as calculated under GAAP and a reconciliation to our EBITDA, EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Adjusted EBITDA.

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 believe EBITDA before restructuring and other items also facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out those items in EBITDA as well as certain historical cost (benefit) items 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 EBITDA before restructuring and other items have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider EBITDA or EBITDA before restructuring and other items 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 requirement 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.

Like EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. In addition to the limitations described above with respect to EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items, Adjusted EBITDA includes pro forma cost savings, the pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives and the pro forma full year effect of acquisitions and new franchisees. These adjustments may not reflect the actual cost savings or pro forma effect recognized in future periods.
