MADISON, N.J., Feb. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), the largest full-service residential real estate services company in the United States, today reported financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2016, including the following highlights:

  • Revenue was $5.81 billion, an increase of 2% compared with the full year 2015, driven by organic and acquisition revenue increases at Title Resource Group (TRG).
  • The Company's combined homesale transaction volume increased 4% in the year, consisting of a 6% volume gain at the Realogy Franchise Group (RFG) and flat volume at the Company-owned brokerage segment (NRT).
  • Net income was $213 million, a 16% increase compared with $184 million in 2015. Basic earnings per share (EPS) was $1.47, a 17% increase compared with $1.26 in 2015.
  • Adjusted net income was $239 million, an 8% increase compared with $222 million in 2015. Adjusted basic EPS was $1.65, a 9% increase compared with $1.52 in 2015, (See Table 1a).
  • Operating EBITDA was $770 million, compared with $769 million in 2015. (See Table 5).2
  • The Company returned $225 million of capital to shareholders through repurchases and dividends in 2016.

"Our 2016 results continued to reflect the operating challenges of strong competition for sales agents and soft demand at the high end of the housing market for NRT," said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's chairman, chief executive officer and president. "While we still have work to do, we have made good progress. Our strategic priorities are to continue strengthening our core businesses while further investing capital to drive future growth. Reflecting our strong free cash flow, we are pleased to expand on our capital return program through an additional $300 million share repurchase authorization. We are confident that over the long term we are well-positioned to capitalize on favorable demand conditions and existing homesale volume growth within the industry."

Operational Results

Below are some of the highlights of Realogy's key strategic initiatives from 2016 and the start of 2017:

  • NRT is executing on an aggressive campaign to increase the Company's recruitment of productive independent sales agents and agent teams, and continues to enhance its existing agent retention and productivity programs.
  • Realogy formalized plans for an integrated learning institute aimed at enhancing agent and broker productivity by offering customized learning opportunities to serve new and experienced sales agents as well as brokerage managers across both NRT and RFG. 
  • The Realogy Franchise Group continues to deploy its proprietary Zap technology platform. Initial data indicates that sales agents actively using Zap are closing more transactions than those who are not.
  • On February 15, 2017, Realogy agreed to form a new mortgage origination joint venture (JV) with Guaranteed Rate, one of the largest independent retail mortgage companies in the United States. The new JV, which will operate as Guaranteed Rate Affinity, has agreed to acquire certain assets of the mortgage operations of PHH Home Loans, the existing JV between Realogy and PHH Mortgage. The transaction is expected to be completed in a series of asset sale closings subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions. The initial closing is expected to occur in June 2017, and the final closing is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2017. Once these transactions are complete, Realogy expects to realize approximately $30 million of net cash.
  • The Company continued to execute on its business optimization program, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the cost structure of each of the Company's business units. The Company realized approximately $33 million in actual savings in 2016 and is well positioned to reach its annualized run-rate savings target of approximately $70 million. The total cost to implement the program is expected to be $65 million, of which $49 million has been incurred through December 31, 2016.

In 2016, Realogy's franchise (RFG) and Company-owned (NRT) business segments achieved a combined homesale transaction volume (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price) of approximately $473 billion, an increase of 4% compared with 2015, which was within the Company's previous guidance range. RFG reported a homesale transaction sides increase of 3% and an average homesale price increase of 3%. NRT reported flat homesale transaction sides and average homesale price.

In the title and settlement services sector, TRG was involved in the closing of approximately 204,000 transactions in 2016, reflecting a 17% increase in purchase units and a 32% increase in refinance units compared with 2015. These results include the benefits of the acquisition of TitleOne, which occurred in the third quarter of 2016.

Capital Allocation and New Share Repurchase Authorization

During the fourth quarter of 2016, Realogy repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares of common stock in the open market at a weighted average market price of $25 per share for a total of $65 million. For the full year 2016, the Company returned nearly $200 million of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 7.1 million shares, or 5% of shares outstanding. The Company had approximately 140.2 million shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2016.  Since year-end 2016, the Company has repurchased approximately 572,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average market price of $26.23 for a total of approximately $15 million.

Realogy today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $300 million of the Company's common stock. This is in addition to the $61 million remaining under the current $275 million share repurchase authorization announced in February 2016. Repurchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these repurchases will depend on price, market and economic conditions, legal and contractual requirements and other factors. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

On February 23, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share of the Company's common stock. This dividend payment will be made on March 23, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 9, 2017.

"Our business model continues to generate significant free cash flow," said Anthony E. Hull, Realogy's executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "We expect to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation, balanced between returning cash to shareholders, deleveraging and strategically investing in the business to drive growth."

Balance Sheet

The Company ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $274 million. Total long-term corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $3.3 billion at December 31, 2016.  The Company's net debt leverage3 was 3.8 times at December 31, 2016.

In January 2017, the Company repriced its Term Loan B, thereby reducing its run-rate interest expense by approximately $8 million to $165 million on an annualized basis.

A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

(In millions, except per share data)


We present Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share because we believe these measures are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our operating results.

 

Adjusted net income is defined by us as net income 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 are subject to significant fluctuations; (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, which the Company believes will be significant as a result of the business optimization initiatives currently in progress; and (d) the loss on the early extinguishment of debt that results from refinancing and deleveraging debt initiatives.  The gross amounts for these items as well as the adjustment for income taxes are shown in the table below. 

 

Adjusted income per share is Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.

 

Set forth in the table below is a reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted net income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

Table 8

Non-GAAP Definitions

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss) before mark to market interest rate adjustments, former parent legacy items, restructuring charges and loss on the early extinguishment of debt.  The gross amounts for these items as well as the adjustment for income taxes are presented.  Adjusted income (loss) per share is Adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  We present Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share because we believe these measures are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our operating results.

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 and is our primary non-GAAP measure.

Operating EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA before restructuring, early extinguishment of debt and legacy items and is used as a supplementary financial measure.  Operating EBITDA calculated for a twelve-month period is presented because the Company believes these items do not directly affect the operating results of the Company and accordingly should be excluded in comparing operating results.

We present EBITDA and Operating EBITDA because we believe they 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 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 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 Operating EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider EBITDA and Operating 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.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Realogy before income tax expense (benefit), 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.  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 Realogy Holdings 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.
