MADISON, N.J., Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS) (“Anywhere” or the “Company”), a global leader in residential real estate services, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
“Anywhere led through a difficult housing market to deliver considerable profitability and achieve substantial debt reduction,” said Ryan Schneider, Anywhere president and CEO. “We accelerated our strategic progress, including expanding our high-margin franchise business, integrating the consumer transaction experience, taking advantage of the better competitive environment, and putting significant litigation behind us, to set Anywhere up for powerful momentum as the housing market improves.”
“Anywhere stayed focused on what we can control and drove differentiated results in the third quarter,” said Charlotte Simonelli, Anywhere executive vice president, chief financial officer, and treasurer. “We generated meaningful Operating EBITDA, overdelivered on our cost savings agenda, achieved sizable debt reduction, and prudently managed our cash, enabling Anywhere to navigate current market conditions and invest to drive future success.”
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights
- Generated Revenue of $1.6 billion, a decrease of 12% year-over-year, largely impacted by homesale transaction volume declines versus prior year of 13%.
- Reported Net income of $129 million.
- Operating EBITDA of $107 million, a decrease of $59 million year-over-year (See Table 5a).
- Reduced debt by $281 million through successful debt exchanges, open market bond repurchases and repayment of a portion of our revolver balance.
- Realized third quarter cost savings of approximately $60 million and over $160 million year-to-date and completed actions to deliver $200 million for the full year.
- Free Cash Flow of $95 million (See Table 7).
- Commission splits in the third quarter increased 55 basis points year-over-year.

1 See Table 5a for a reconciliation of Net income attributable to Anywhere to Operating EBITDA. Operating EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets. |
|
2 See Table 1a for a reconciliation of Net income attributable to Anywhere to Adjusted net income (loss). Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) before mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, former parent legacy items, restructuring charges, (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets and the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. |
|
3 See Table 7 for a reconciliation of Net income attributable to Anywhere to Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Anywhere before income tax expense (benefit), income tax payments, net interest expense, cash interest payments, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefits), net of payments, impairments, (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capital adjustments and relocation receivables (assets), net of change in securitization obligations. |
|
4 Includes all franchisees except for Owned Brokerage Group. |
|
5 The Company’s combined homesale transaction volume (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price) decreased 13% compared with the third quarter of 2022. |
2023 Financial Estimates
Consistent with industry forecasts, we still expect quarterly transaction volume comparisons to 2022 to improve throughout 2023, but expect full year 2023 transaction volumes to decline about 15-20% year-over-year and with the weaker market and higher mortgage rates in the latter part of Q3, we now think this will end up towards the worse part of that range.
Driven by these projected volume declines, the Company continues to expect full year 2023 Operating EBITDA to be below 2022. However, the Company still expects Free Cash Flow from operations to be modestly positive. This excludes the impact of cash expenses from the debt exchange transactions and any other non-recurring items.
Based on year-to-date agent commission trends, we now expect full year commissions splits to increase about 50 to 60 basis points above 2022.
The Company continues to expect to realize cost savings of approximately $200 million in 2023, inclusive of the cost savings realized year-to-date in 2023.
These estimates are subject to, among other things, macroeconomic and housing market uncertainties, including those related to rising inflation and mortgage rates, declining affordability and constrained inventory as well as competitive, litigation and regulatory uncertainties.
Balance Sheet
Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $2.5 billion at September 30, 2023. The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $151 million. The Company’s Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.30x at September 30, 2023 (see Table 8a). The Company’s Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 7.8x at September 30, 2023 (see Table 8b).
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company completed debt exchange transactions pursuant to which we issued $640 million of 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2030 in exchange for $298 million of our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2029 and $503 million of our 5.25% Senior Notes due 2030. In addition, following consummation of the debt exchange transactions, we repurchased $26 million of our 5.75% Senior Notes and $40 million of our 5.25% Senior Notes in open market purchases at an aggregate purchase price of $48 million, plus accrued interest to the respective repurchase dates.
As of October 23, 2023 the Company had $325 million of outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.
A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

|
(d) |
Loss (gain) on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, net in 2022 is recorded in Title Group and is related to the sale of the Title Underwriter and subsequent sales of a portion of the Company’s ownership in the Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture. |

(f) |
Title Group includes our title, escrow and settlement services (title agency) businesses, our minority-owned mortgage origination joint venture and our minority-owned Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture. The sale of the Title Underwriter late in the first quarter of 2022 resulted in declines of $80 million in underwriter revenue and $6 million in Operating EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, with $4 million of equity in earnings attributable to the Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture partially offsetting the decline in earnings. The Operating EBITDA contribution from the mortgage origination joint venture improved $13 million from losses of $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to earnings of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. |

(a) |
Net loss attributable to Anywhere Group consists of: (i) loss of $453 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, (ii) loss of $138 million for the first quarter of 2023, (iii) income of $19 million for the second quarter of 2023 and (iv) income of $129 million for the third quarter of 2023. |
|
(b) |
Represents the four-quarter pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives as if these initiatives had occurred at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. |
|
(c) |
Represents non-cash long term incentive compensation charges, other non-cash charges and extraordinary, nonrecurring or unusual litigation charges. |
|
(d) |
Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and franchise sales activity, net of brokerages that exited our franchise system, as if these changes had occurred at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. Franchisee sales activity is comprised of new franchise agreements as well as growth through acquisitions and independent sales agent recruitment by existing franchisees with our assistance. We have made a number of assumptions in calculating such estimates and there can be no assurance that we would have generated the projected levels of Operating EBITDA had we owned the acquired entities or entered into the franchise contracts as of the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. |
|
(e) |
Incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization facilities refinancing for the four-quarter period ended September 30, 2023. |
|
(f) |
Represents total borrowings secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $511 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility plus $21 million of finance lease obligations less $124 million of readily available cash as of September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the terms of our senior secured credit facilities, total senior secured net debt does not include our securitization obligations, 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes or unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes and Exchangeable Senior Notes. |
|
* |
Our senior secured credit facilities include the facilities under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 5, 2013, as amended from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), and the Term Loan A Agreement dated as of October 23, 2015 (the “Term Loan A Agreement”), as amended from time to time. Our Senior Secured Second Lien Notes include our 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due in 2030. Our Unsecured Notes include our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2029 and 5.25% Senior Notes due 2030. Exchangeable Senior Notes refers to our 0.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026. |

Table 9
Non-GAAP Definitions
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before: (a) mark-to-market interest rate swap adjustments, whose fair value is subject to movements in LIBOR and the forward yield curve and therefore were subject to significant fluctuations (remaining interest rate swaps expired in November 2022); (b) former parent legacy items, which pertain to liabilities of the former parent for matters prior to mid-2006 and are non-operational in nature; (c) restructuring charges as a result of initiatives currently in progress; (d) impairments; (e) the (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt that results from refinancing and deleveraging debt initiatives; (f) the (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets and (g) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. We present Adjusted net income (loss) because we believe this measure is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our operating results.
Operating 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), income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets. Operating EBITDA is our primary non-GAAP measure.
We present Operating EBITDA because we believe it is useful as a supplemental measure 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 Operating EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of our business. Operating 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 Operating 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, as well as other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, former parent legacy items, impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. We further believe that Operating EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Operating EBITDA measure when reporting their results.
Operating EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider Operating EBITDA either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- this measure does not reflect changes in, or cash required for, our working capital needs;
- this measure does 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;
- this measure does not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
- this measure does 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 this measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
- other companies may calculate this measure differently so they may not be comparable.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Anywhere before income tax expense (benefit), income tax payments, interest expense, net, cash interest payments, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and former parent legacy costs (benefits), net of payments, impairments, (gain) loss on the sale of businesses, investments or other assets, (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt, working capital adjustments and relocation receivables (assets), net of change in securitization obligations. We use Free Cash Flow in our internal evaluation of operating effectiveness and decisions regarding the allocation of resources, as well as measuring the Company’s ability to generate cash. Since Free Cash Flow can be viewed as both a performance measure and a cash flow measure, the Company has provided a reconciliation to both net income attributable to Anywhere and net cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow is 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 or liquidity. Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
