REALOGY REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR SECOND QUARTER 2014
 
Residential Real Estate Leader Reports Quarterly Revenue of $1.5 Billion

Homesale Transaction Volume Increased 3% Year-over-Year

MADISON, N.J. (August 4, 2014) - Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), a global leader in residential real estate franchising and provider of real estate brokerage, relocation, and title and settlement services, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, including the following highlights:
Net revenue for second quarter 2014 was $1.5 billion, a 1% decrease compared to second quarter 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for second quarter 2014 was $269 million, down 3% from $278 million in the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to an approximately $11 million reduction in earnings related to the decrease in refinancing activity at our mortgage origination joint venture and within the Company's title and settlement services segment.
Net income for second quarter 2014 was $68 million and basic earnings per share for the quarter was $0.47, which includes $73 million of interest expense, $46 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $17 million in pre-tax charges related to the Company's repurchase of $354 million of its 7.875% First and a Half Lien Notes during the quarter.
Basic earnings per share was $0.59 excluding the $17 million of debt extinguishment charges and $14 million of mark-to-market interest rate swap losses.
Realogy generated $198 million of free cash flow during the quarter, or $1.36 per share.
"With our recently announced agreement to acquire ZipRealty, we seized upon an exceptional opportunity to further drive growth in our brokerage operations and undertake a significant technology upgrade across our franchise systems," said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chairman, chief executive officer and president. "For the second quarter, we are pleased to report that we outperformed the high end of our previously announced guidance range by achieving homesale transaction volume gains of 3% for the quarter on a combined basis between our company-owned brokerages and franchise business segments. While price was the principal reason for the overall volume increase, better-than-expected sides comparisons also drove the better-than-expected performance."
"Homesale transaction volume increased at the Realogy Franchise Group (RFG) and our company-owned brokerage operations (NRT) in the second quarter, though it was not sufficient to offset approximately $11 million of lower EBITDA that resulted from reduced mortgage refinancing activity relative to the same period in 2013," said Anthony Hull, Realogy's executive vice president and chief financial officer.
For the second quarter of 2014, combined full-year homesale transaction volume (transaction sides times average sale price) increased by 3%, as compared to second quarter of 2013. RFG and NRT reported that average homesale price improved 7% year-over-year while homesale transactions declined 3% and 5%, respectively.
At Cartus, the Company's relocation services segment, initiations for second quarter 2014 remained flat and referrals increased 4% compared to second quarter 2013. At TRG, the Company's title and settlement services segment, purchase unit volume decreased 3% year over year, which was consistent with NRT homesale transaction declines. Average fee per transaction improved 35% due to a shift in the mix of business to home purchase

transactions from refinancing transactions. TRG's refinance title and closing units decreased 72% in second quarter 2014 compared to 2013, which was expected given lower refinancing trends across the industry.
"Looking ahead, third quarter comparisons are difficult given exceptional homesale transaction volume growth of 29% in the third quarter of 2013 for RFG and NRT combined," added Hull. "For the third quarter of 2014, based on our closed sales activity in July, along with contracts opened in June and July, we expect homesale sides to be down -4% to -6% year-over-year, and average sale price to increase +4% to +6% on a combined basis. As a result, we expect to see homesale transaction volume in the range of -2% to +2% year-over-year this quarter for RFG and NRT combined."
The Company ended the quarter with a cash and cash equivalents balance of $209 million and no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility under its senior secured credit agreement. Total long-term corporate debt, including the short term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.7 billion at June 30, 2014.
Reported interest expense for the quarter included the impact of mark-to-market adjustments for our interest rate swaps which were losses of $14 million in 2014 compared to gains of $8 million in the same period of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, corporate cash interest was $52 million lower than the same period in the prior year as a result of refinancing activity. The Company expects full-year corporate cash interest to be approximately $230 million.
A condensed consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

Various factors that could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those estimated by management include, but are not limited to: adverse developments or the absence of sustained improvement in general business, economic and political conditions; adverse developments or the absence of improvement in the residential real estate markets including but not limited to the lack of sustained improvement in the number of home sales and/or stagnant or declining home prices, low levels of consumer confidence, the impact of slow economic growth or future recessions and related high levels of unemployment in the U.S. and abroad, continued low inventory levels, renewed high levels of foreclosures, seasonal fluctuations in the residential real estate brokerage business, and increasing mortgage rates and down payment requirements and/or constraints on the availability of mortgage financing; the Company's geographic and high-end market concentration, particularly with respect to its Company-owned brokerage operations; the Company's failure to enter into or renew franchise agreements or maintain its brands; risks relating to our outstanding debt and interest obligations; variable rate indebtedness which subjects the Company to interest rate risk; the Company's inability to access capital; any outbreak or escalation of hostilities on a national, regional or international basis; government regulation as well as legislative, tax or regulatory changes that would adversely impact the residential real estate market, including but not limited to potential reform of the financing of the U.S. housing and mortgage markets and/or the Internal Revenue Code and changes in state or federal employment laws or regulations that would require classification of independent contractor sales associates to employee status, and wage and hour regulations; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the ZipRealty, Inc. transaction in a timely manner or at all, or if completed, the Company's inability to realize the benefits or synergies from this acquisition; the Company's inability to sustain improvements in its operating efficiency; and the final resolution or outcomes with respect to Cendant's (our former parent) remaining contingent liabilities.

Non-GAAP Definitions
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) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a twelve-month period is presented to demonstrate our compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant in the senior secured credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a twelve-month period corresponds to the definition of "EBITDA," calculated on a "pro forma basis," used in the senior secured credit facility to calculate the senior secured leverage ratio. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to EBITDA for restructuring costs, former parent legacy cost (benefit) items, net, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, non-cash charges, non-recurring fair value adjustments for purchase accounting, fees for the secondary equity offerings 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 twelve-month period. Adjusted EBITDA calculated for a three-month period adjusts for the same items as for a twelve-month period, except that the pro forma effect of cost savings, business optimizations and acquisitions and new franchisees are calculated as of the beginning of the three-month period instead of the twelve-month period.
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. Our management, including our chief operating decision maker, uses EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of our business. EBITDA 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.
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 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 Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA 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 required 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.
In addition to the limitations described above, Adjusted EBITDA includes pro forma cost savings, the pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives and the pro forma full period effect of acquisitions and new franchisees. These adjustments may not reflect the actual cost savings or pro forma effect recognized in future periods.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Realogy before income tax (benefit) expense, net of payments, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefits), net of payments, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capital adjustments and relocation assets, net of change in securitization obligations. Cash Earnings Per Share is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. We use Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share in our internal evaluation of operating effectiveness and decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share are 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. Free Cash Flow and Cash Earnings Per Share may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
