  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 31% to $158 million

  • Increasing Adjusted EBITDA(2) range to $385 million to $395 million

“Frontdoor is executing extremely well, and we continue to advance our strategic initiatives to drive sustainable growth," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Cobb. “We have three focus areas for the balance of 2024: 1) Drive more home warranty sales, 2) Continue to expand our on-demand business model and 3) Close the 2-10 acquisition. With these actions, I am confident we are taking the right steps today to strengthen our foundation for long-term success."

"Frontdoor delivered strong second quarter financial results," said Chief Financial Officer Jessica Ross. “Gross profit margins reached an all time high, primarily driven by continued execution across our margin enhancement initiatives. Based on this strong performance, we are raising our full-year outlook. Frontdoor generates a substantial amount of cash, and we will continue to prioritize share repurchases through our new, larger authorization."

Second-quarter 2024 revenue increased 4% to $542 million, which was comprised of a 7% increase from price that was partially offset by a 3% decline from lower volume.

  • Renewal revenue increased 6% due to improved price realization that was partially offset by lower volume;
  • Real estate revenue and direct-to-consumer revenue both decreased 14%, primarily due to a cyclical decline in home warranty sales as a result of the challenging real estate market and the impact of inflation on consumer sentiment;
  • Other revenue increased 46% due to higher on-demand home services, primarily new HVAC sales.

Second-quarter 2024 net income was $92 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.18.

Second-quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $158 million increased 31% versus the prior year period, and includes:

  • $17 million from higher revenue conversion(3), as price increases were partly offset by lower volume;
  • $17 million of lower contract claims costs(4), excluding the impact of claims costs related to the change in revenue. The decrease in contract claims costs primarily reflects:
    • A transition to higher service fees that improved the net cost per service request;
    • Continued process improvement initiatives, specifically better cost management across our contractor network;
    • Favorable claims cost development of $5 million, compared to a $4 million favorable cost development in the second quarter of 2023; partially offset by
    • Normal inflation across our contractor network, replacement parts and equipment
  • $3 million of lower sales and marketing costs, primarily due to sales optimization efforts; partially offset by;
  • $2 million of higher G&A costs primarily due to increased personnel costs, offset, in part, by a decrease in professional fees.

Capital Allocation Update

    • An approximately 40% increase in other revenue, which is primarily driven by the new HVAC program.
    • The number of home warranties is expected to decline within a range of 3% to 5%.
  • Increasing gross profit margin to slightly above 51%.
  • Increasing SG&A to $605 million to $615 million, which includes approximately $10 million to drive organic growth and customer retention initiatives. This also includes an estimated $15 million of transaction costs related to closing the 2-10 acquisition, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Increasing Adjusted EBITDA(2) to $385 million to $395 million.
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $35 million to $45 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Frontdoor’s results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), Frontdoor has disclosed the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Unrestricted Cash.

We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income before depreciation and amortization expense; goodwill and intangibles impairment; restructuring charges; transaction costs; provision for income taxes; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and other non-operating expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as it facilitates 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 and acquisition initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans.

We define “Free Cash Flow” as net cash provided from operating activities less property additions. Free Cash Flow is not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net cash provided from operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

We define “Adjusted Net Income” as net income before: amortization expense; restructuring charges; loss on extinguishment of debt; other non-operating expenses; and the tax impact of the aforementioned adjustments. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as it facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by items listed in this definition.

We define “Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share” as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

We define “Unrestricted Cash” as cash not subject to third-party restrictions. For additional information related to our third-party restrictions, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Liquidity” under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

See the schedules attached hereto for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors’ evaluation of Frontdoor’s business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of Frontdoor’s business. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is 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.

See “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” accompanying this release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, each a non-GAAP measure, to the nearest GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in this release for descriptions of calculations of these measures. Amounts presented in the reconciliations and other tables presented herein may not sum due to rounding.

(2)

 

A reconciliation of the forward-looking second-quarter and full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.

(3)

 

Revenue conversion includes the impact of the change in the number of home warranties as well as the impact of year-over-year price changes. The impact of the change in the number of home warranties considers the associated revenue on those plans less an estimate of contract claims costs based on margin experience in the prior year period.

(4)

 

Contract claims costs includes the impact of changes in service request incidence, inflation and other drivers associated with the number of home warranties in the prior year period. The impact on contract claims costs resulting from year-over-year changes in the number of home warranties is included in revenue conversion above.
