Third-Quarter 2023 Summary

  • Revenue increased 8% to $524 million, comprised of 10% from price that was partly offset by a 2% decline from lower volume
  • Gross profit margin expanded 760 basis points to 51% as a result of higher realized price, continued process improvement initiatives, favorable cost development, a transition to higher service fees and a lower number of service requests per customer that was partly offset by inflationary cost pressure
  • Net income more than doubled to $71 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 61% to $128 million

Raising Full-Year 2023 Outlook

  • Increasing revenue range to $1.765 billion to $1.775 billion
  • Increasing gross profit margin range to 48.0% to 49.5%
  • Increasing Adjusted EBITDA(2) range to $320 million to $330 million
  • Increasing 2023 share repurchase outlook to $125 million

“I am thrilled with the turnaround in our financial results, which reinforces my belief in the power of this business and the actions we have been taking,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Cobb. “As we look forward to 2024, our main strategic objectives are focused on increasing customer acquisitions across our two brands and advancing our retention efforts. The American Home Shield brand will be relaunched early next year and will continue to concentrate on home warranties, while the Frontdoor brand is being refocused to sell on-demand home services to a larger addressable market. In short, we continue to take bold and decisive steps that will lay a strong foundation for future growth.”

“Frontdoor continues to deliver significantly better than expected financial results, and we are increasing our 2023 financial outlook for the second time this year,” said Chief Financial Officer Jessica Ross. “Third quarter gross margins came in significantly better than expected as a result of the traction we are seeing from our comprehensive process improvement initiatives and higher revenue conversion. With this solid performance, we are stepping up our share repurchase target for 2023 as we continue to generate strong cash flows and remain focused on returning excess cash to investors.”

Third-quarter 2023 revenue increased 8% to $524 million.

  • Renewal revenue increased 14% due to improved price realization;
  • Real estate revenue decreased 23% due to lower sales as a result of the challenging real estate market;
  • Direct-to-consumer revenue decreased 16% due to lower sales as a result of a broad range of macroeconomic conditions impacting demand for the home warranty category; and
  • Other revenue increased $11 million due to higher on-demand home services.

Third-quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 61% to $128 million, and included the impact of the following factors:

  • $37 million from higher revenue conversion(3), as price increases were partly offset by lower volume;
  • $22 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 reflects:
    • Continued process improvement initiatives, specifically better cost management efforts across our contractor network;
    • Favorable cost development of $9 million, compared to a $2 million favorable adjustment in the third quarter of 2022; and
    • Ongoing inflationary cost pressure that was partly offset by a transition to higher service fees and a lower number of service requests per customer.
  • $10 million of higher sales and marketing costs primarily related to the Frontdoor brand;
  • $4 million of higher G&A costs primarily due to increased personnel costs; and
  • $4 million of higher interest income as a result of rising interest rates on cash deposits.

Net cash provided from operating activities was $139 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and was comprised of $207 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges offset, in part, by $68 million in cash used for working capital. Cash used for working capital was primarily driven by a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans, which are typically paid for upfront at the time of closing on the home sale, offset, in part, by seasonality.

Net cash used for investing activities was $23 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and was primarily comprised of capital expenditures related to technology projects.

Net cash used for financing activities was $88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and was comprised of shares repurchases as well as scheduled debt payments.

Free Cash Flow(1) was $116 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Cash as of September 30, 2023 was $320 million, and was comprised of $152 million of restricted net assets and $167 million of Unrestricted Cash.

Fourth-Quarter 2023 Outlook

  • Revenue of $350 million to $360 million;
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) of approximately $20 million to $30 million.

Updated Full-Year 2023 Outlook

  • Raised revenue outlook to $1.765 billion to $1.775 billion, or approximately 6% higher than prior year.
    • Renewals channel revenue growth of nearly 15%;
    • Direct-to-Consumer channel revenue decline in the low double-digit range;
    • Real Estate channel revenue decline in the mid-20% range;
    • Other revenue of approximately $70 million, driven by growth in on-demand services, primarily HVAC upgrade services sold through Frontdoor Pro that is partly offset by lower Streem revenue; and
    • Number of home service plans is expected to decline in the mid-to-upper single digits.
  • Increased gross profit margin to 48.0% to 49.5%.
  • SG&A outlook of $580 million to $590 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; 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 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 2022 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 fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income, and of full-year 2023 Free Cash Flow to net cash provided from operating activities, 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 service plans as well as the impact of year-over-year price changes. The impact of the change in the number of home service plans 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 service plans in the prior year period. The impact on contract claims costs resulting from year-over-year changes in the number of home service plans is included in revenue conversion above.
