Insights
CoStar Group's Q4 2024 results reveal a compelling narrative of strategic execution and market leadership. The 11% revenue growth to $709M demonstrates sustained momentum, while the 43% QoQ EBITDA increase signals improving operational leverage. Several key developments warrant attention:
The company's dual-market strategy is proving effective. In commercial real estate, the flagship CoStar platform and Apartments.com collectively generated $2.09B in revenue, representing 76% of total revenue. The 43% profit margins in commercial segments indicate strong pricing power and operational efficiency.
The rapid ascension of Homes.com to the second position in residential real estate is particularly noteworthy. With 110M monthly visitors, nearly double Realtor.com's traffic, the platform is challenging the traditional duopoly of Zillow and Realtor.com. The 58% increase in listing wins for Homes.com Members suggests growing network effects and platform stickiness.
Financial management remains prudent. The $4.68B cash position provides substantial strategic flexibility, while the newly authorized $500M stock buyback program indicates confidence in future performance and commitment to shareholder returns. The company's $992M long-term debt appears manageable given the strong cash flow generation.
The 2025 guidance suggesting 10% revenue growth appears conservative given the momentum in both commercial and residential segments. The projected adjusted EBITDA margin of 13% reflects continued investment in growth initiatives, particularly in the residential space where market share gains could drive long-term value creation.

The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group’s expectations as of February 18, 2025 based on current estimates, expectations, observations, and trends. Given the risk factors, rapidly evolving economic environment, and uncertainties and assumptions discussed in this release and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, actual results may differ materially. Annualization of historical results from short periods of time or small sample sizes may differ materially from actual results realized in future periods and may not take into account other future market conditions that may negatively affect those results. Other than in publicly available statements, the Company does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement.
Reconciliations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are shown in detail below, along with definitions for those terms. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, can be found within the tables included in this release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, please refer to the Company’s latest periodic report.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group before interest income or expense, net and other income or expense, net; loss on debt extinguishment; income taxes; depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense, acquisition- and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, and settlements and impairments incurred outside the Company’s ordinary course of business. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues for the period.
