Leading Home Services Company Begins Trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market Under Ticker Symbol FTDR

Frontdoor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTDR), the industry-leading provider of home service plans, today begins operating as an independent publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “FTDR” after completing its spin-off from ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SERV).

Frontdoor is the parent company of American Home Shield, which founded the home service plan industry more than 45 years ago and today is the largest provider in the nation. Frontdoor also provides service through the HSA, OneGuard and Landmark home service plan brands.

“We have a strong and growing core business that provides valuable coverage and professional, convenient solutions to more than two million homeowners across the U.S. today. With our expertise and scale, we are uniquely positioned to continue to grow not only in the home repair market, but to expand into the home maintenance and improvement markets, as well,” said Rex Tibbens, president and chief executive officer of Frontdoor.

“We are obsessed with taking the hassle out of owning a home and transforming the $400 billion U.S. home services market through the use of data and technology, expanding our services and delivering a consistently exceptional customer experience. As an independent company, we will be able to focus our attention and resources to drive our business to reach its fullest potential, and deliver even greater value to our customers, shareholders and employees,” added Tibbens.

The company responds to more than four million service requests annually from customers in need of repairs to covered appliances and components of major home systems, such as heating and air conditioning, plumbing and electrical systems. Service is provided through a team of approximately 2,000 employees and a nationwide network of more than 15,000 pre-qualified independent contractor firms that employ over 45,000 technicians.
