Frontdoor, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business
Frontdoor is the leading provider of home warranties and new home structural warranties in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates primarily under the American Home Shield and 2-10 HBW brands. Our customizable home warranties help customers protect and maintain their homes, typically their most valuable asset, from costly and unplanned breakdowns of essential home systems and appliances. Our home warranty customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of up to
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Basis of Presentation
We recommend that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2024 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be achieved for the respective full year.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards
In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which improves income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our enhanced disclosures.
In 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our enhanced disclosures.

Note 3. Revenue
The majority of our revenue is generated from home warranty contracts entered into with our customers. Home warranty contracts are typically
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major customer acquisition channels. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by major customer acquisition channel for our home warranties and other revenue is as follows:

Our home warranty contracts have one primary performance obligation, which is to provide for the repair or replacement of essential home systems and appliances, as applicable per the contract. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Those costs bear a direct relationship to the fulfillment of our obligations under the contracts and are representative of the relative fair value of the services provided to the customer. As the costs to fulfill the obligations of the home warranties are incurred on an other-than-straight-line basis, we utilize historical evidence to estimate the expected claims expense and related timing of such costs and make a corresponding adjustment each period to the timing of our related revenue recognition. This adjustment to the straight-line revenue creates a contract asset or contract liability, as described under the heading “Contract Assets and Liabilities” below. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs and adjust these estimates when appropriate.
Renewals
Revenue from customer renewals of home warranty contracts, which were previously initiated in the real estate or direct-to-consumer channel, are classified as renewal revenue above. Renewals relate to consecutive contract periods and take place at the end of the first year of a real estate or direct-to-consumer home warranty contract and continue to be categorized in our renewal channel thereafter. Customer payments for renewals are primarily received in installments over the new contract period.
AGÕæÈ˹ٷ½ estate
AGÕæÈ˹ٷ½ estate home warranties are sold through annual contracts that occur in connection with a real estate sale. These plans are typically paid in full at closing on the real estate transaction. First-year revenue from the real estate channel is classified as real estate above. Upon renewal of the contract, which is often exercised by the customer, the future revenue derived from home warranties sold in this channel is classified as renewal revenue as described above.
Direct-to-consumer
Direct-to-consumer home warranties are sold through annual contracts that occur in response to our marketing efforts. Customer payments for direct-to-consumer sales are primarily received in installments over the contract period. First-year revenue from the direct-to-consumer channel is classified as direct-to-consumer above. Upon renewal of the contract, which is often exercised by the customer, the future revenue derived from home warranties sold in this channel is classified as renewal revenue as described above.
Other
Other revenue primarily includes revenue generated by non-warranty home services and new home structural warranties.

Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs
We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and recognize the related expense using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract, over the expected customer relationship period. Deferred customer acquisition costs were $
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
We capitalize certain costs related to the issuance of insurance policies under the new home warranty program as deferred policy acquisition costs and amortize these costs over the contract period. We anticipate that all deferred policy acquisition costs will be recoverable. Deferred policy acquisition costs were $
Receivables, Less Allowance
We record a receivable due from customers once we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to the services provided. An allowance is recorded based on amounts anticipated to be collected. Contracts for home warranties may be invoiced upfront or monthly in straight-line installment payments over the contract period. The payment terms are determined prior to the execution of the contract.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets arise when we recognize revenue for our home warranty contracts prior to a customer being invoiced. These timing differences are created when the recognition of revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing the services under the contract are accelerated as compared to the recognition of revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Contract assets were $
Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue which is recognized when cash payments are received in advance of the performance of services, including when the amounts are refundable. Amounts are recognized as revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under our contracts.
A summary of the changes in deferred revenue, including the long-term portion, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is as follows:

Unearned Insurance Premium
New home structural warranty revenue is recognized over the life of the contract in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract. Amounts not earned and recognized to date are recognized as unearned insurance premium on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
Deferred Reinsurance
In the normal course of business, we seek to reduce our loss exposure in the new home warranty program by reinsuring certain levels of risk with reinsurers. Premiums ceded are recognized within revenue over the term of underlying insurance policies, and the unexpired portion of reinsurance is deferred and recognized as deferred reinsurance on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are subject to assessment for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. We perform our annual assessment for impairment on October 1 of every year.
The balance of goodwill was $

Note 6. Income Taxes
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Bill”) was enacted in the U.S. The Bill includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We are subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was generated in the United States.
We compute interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. As a result, our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter. The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Accruals for home warranty claims are made using internal actuarial projections, which are based on current claims and historical claims experience. Accruals are established based on estimates of the ultimate cost to settle claims. Home warranty claims take approximately
Unpaid losses and loss adjustment reserves represent the estimated ultimate cost of settling all new home structural warranty claims and includes the estimated costs of claims incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is based upon the facts of each case and the Company’s experience with similar cases. The establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain and complex process. Reserve estimates are primarily derived using an actuarial estimation process in which historical loss patterns are applied to actual paid losses and reported losses (paid losses plus individual case reserves established by claim adjusters) to create an estimate of how losses are likely to develop over time. We regularly review our estimates of unpaid losses and adjust our estimates when appropriate. The Company reports its unpaid losses and loss adjustment reserves gross of the amounts related to unpaid losses recoverable from reinsurers and net of amounts ceded to reinsurers.
We have certain liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. We accrue for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified.
Due to the nature of our business activities, we are also at times subject to pending and threatened legal and regulatory actions that arise out of the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of any such matters is not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.

Cash, money market funds and certificates of deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased are included in Cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amortized cost of our short- and long-term investments was less than $
Gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in investment income in the period they are realized. We periodically review our portfolio of investments to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in the value of the investments from factors such as deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer or the market(s) in which the issuer competes. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were less than $

Note 15. Derivative Financial Instruments
We currently use a derivative financial instrument to manage risks associated with changes in interest rates by hedging the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swap contracts. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In designating derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments under accounting standards for derivative instruments, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. We assess at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the projected cash flows of the associated forecasted transaction.
Our interest rate swap contracts are classified as cash flow hedges, and, as such, are recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position on an individual basis as either an asset or liability at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in AOCI. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap contracts are classified as operating activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap contracts are recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement affects earnings. See Note 14 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI and for the amounts reclassified out of AOCI and into earnings during the periods presented. As the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, we estimate the unrealized hedging loss in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is $
16
Note 16. Fair Value Measurements
We estimate fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. The valuation techniques require inputs that we categorize into a three-level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets ("Level 1"); direct or indirect observable inputs, including quoted prices or other market data, for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets ("Level 2"); and unobservable inputs that require significant judgment for which there is little or no market data ("Level 3"). When multiple input levels are required for a valuation, we categorize the entire fair value measurement according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement, even though we may have also utilized significant inputs that are more readily observable.
The period-end carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The period-end carrying amounts of short- and long-term marketable securities also approximate fair value and primarily consisted of available-for-sale debt securities. Unrealized gains and losses are reported net of tax as a component of AOCI in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Any unrealized losses where the decline in value is other than temporary are reported in interest and net investment income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. There were no other-than-temporary declines in value for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of our total debt were $
We determine the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts using a forward interest rate curve obtained from a third-party market data provider. The fair value of each contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract interest rates to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between these two rates to the notional amounts of debt in the interest rate swap contracts.
We did not change our valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Transfers between hierarchy levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented are as follows:

Note 18. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options, performance options, RSUs, performance shares and deferred share equivalents are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.

Overview
Frontdoor is the leading provider of home warranties and new home structural warranties in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates primarily under the American Home Shield and 2-10 HBW brands. Our customizable home warranties help customers protect and maintain their homes, typically their most valuable asset, from costly and unplanned breakdowns of essential home systems and appliances. Our home warranty customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of up to 29 home systems and appliances, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges/ovens/cooktops, as well as optional coverages for electronics, pools, spas and pumps. Our new home structural warranty business provides value to home builders and owners of new homes by providing coverage, including insurance-backed coverage for workmanship, systems and/or structural failures, as well as other post-construction services. We also offer non-warranty home services via our website and app to our home warranty customers directly and others through partnerships and our subscription-based Frontdoor app. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately 2.1 million active home warranties across all brands in the United States.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we generated revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $617 million, $111 million and $199 million, respectively, and $542 million, $92 million and $158 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we generated revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $1,043 million, $148 million and $300 million, respectively, and $920 million, $126 million and $229 million, respectively. For a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, see “—Results of Operations—Adjusted EBITDA.”
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our total operating revenue included 76 percent of revenue derived from existing customer renewals, while seven percent and eight percent were derived from new home warranty sales made in conjunction with existing home real estate transactions and direct-to-consumer sales, respectively, and nine percent was derived from other revenue channels. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our total operating revenue included 78 percent of revenue derived from existing customer renewals, while seven percent and nine percent were derived from new home warranty sales made in conjunction with existing home real estate transactions and direct-to-consumer sales, respectively, and six percent was derived from other revenue channels.
Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations
Macroeconomic Conditions
Current macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, high interest rates, the challenging real estate market, and ongoing global geopolitical issues, may affect existing home sales, consumer sentiment, prices of goods and services or labor availability. These conditions may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs or otherwise adversely impact our business. While these macroeconomic conditions generally impact the United States as a whole, we believe our nationwide presence limits the impact on us of unfavorable economic conditions in any particular region of the United States.
22
Our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 continued to be adversely impacted by the following:
The ultimate implications of the current macroeconomic conditions on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. It remains difficult to predict the overall continuing impact these conditions will have on our business as they may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs or otherwise adversely impact our business.
Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which drive variations in our revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for interim periods. Seasonal fluctuations are primarily driven by a higher number of HVAC work orders with respect to our home warranty business in the summer months. In 2024, 21 percent, 29 percent, 29 percent and 21 percent of our revenue, 14 percent, 39 percent, 43 percent and four percent of our net income, and 16 percent, 36 percent, 37 percent and 11 percent of our Adjusted EBITDA was recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.
Effect of Weather Conditions
The demand for our services, particularly in our home warranty business, and our results of operations, are affected by weather conditions. Extreme temperatures, typically in the winter and summer months, can lead to an increase in home warranty service requests related to home systems, particularly HVAC systems, resulting in higher costs and lower profitability, while mild temperatures in the winter or summer months can lead to lower home systems claim frequency, resulting in lower costs and higher profitability. For example, favorable weather trends in 2024 as compared to 2023 resulted in a lower number of home warranty service requests per customer in the HVAC trade, which favorably impacted contract claims costs.
While weather variations as described above may affect our business, major weather events and other similar Acts of God, or natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, wildfires or earthquakes, typically do not increase our obligations to provide service. Generally, repairs associated with such isolated events are addressed by homeowners’ and other forms of insurance, as opposed to the home warranties that we offer.
Tariff and Import/Export Regulations
Changes in U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may impact the costs of parts, appliances and home systems. Import duties or restrictions on components and raw materials that are imposed, or the perception that they could occur, may materially and adversely affect our business by increasing our costs. For example, rising costs due to blanket tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, or blanket tariffs on goods from countries that are key suppliers of replacement parts for appliances and home systems, could increase the costs of our parts, appliances and home systems. Recently, the United States has proposed, and in some cases has imposed, significant increases to tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., including from countries where we have sourced replacement parts for appliances and home systems covered by our home warranties. We cannot predict how or what tariffs will be imposed or what retaliatory measures other countries may take in response to tariffs proposed or imposed by the U.S. There is uncertainty as to further actions that may be taken by the U.S. with respect to U.S. trade policy, including with respect to the proposed tariffs. Such uncertainty and/or tariffs or countermeasures could further increase our costs, decrease our margins or reduce the competitiveness of our products and services.
23
Competition
We compete in the U.S. home warranty category and the broader U.S. home services industry. The home warranty category is highly competitive. While we have a broad range of competitors in each locality and region, we are one of the few companies that provide home warranties nationwide. The broader U.S. home services industry is also highly competitive. We compete against businesses providing non-warranty home services directly and those offering leads to contractors seeking to provide non-warranty home services. The principal methods of competition, and by which we differentiate ourselves from our competitors, are quality and speed of service, contract offerings, brand awareness and reputation, customer satisfaction, pricing and promotions, contractor network and referrals. We believe our nationwide network of qualified professional contractor firms, in combination with our large base of contracted customers, differentiate us from other platforms in the home services industry.
Our new home structural warranty business faces competition from other providers of new home structural warranties and builders that self-insure.
Acquisition Activity
We anticipate that the highly fragmented nature of the home services industry will continue to create strategic opportunities for acquisitions. Historically, we have used acquisitions to grow our customer base in high-growth geographies, and we intend to continue to do so. Most recently, we acquired 2-10 HBW, which provides us more home warranty customers and increased revenue, in addition to opportunities for a new sales channel and a more diversified business portfolio. We have also used acquisitions to enhance our technological capabilities and geographic presence. We may also explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions that will expand our service offering in the broader home services industry, such as new home structural warranties acquired as part of 2-10 HBW. See “— 2-10 HBW Acquisition” for additional information related to the acquisition.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. We present within this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. See “—Results of Operations—Adjusted EBITDA” for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Free Cash Flow” for a reconciliation of net cash provided from operating activities to Free Cash Flow, as well as “Key Business Metrics” for further discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, and Adjusted EBITDA is also a component of our incentive compensation program. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors, analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our business performance as they facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons. Management believes 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. While we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and are 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, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Key Business Metrics
We focus on a variety of indicators and key operating and financial metrics to monitor the financial condition and performance of the continuing operations of our business. These metrics include:
24
Revenue. The majority of our revenue is generated from home warranty contracts entered into with our customers. Home warranty contracts are typically one year in duration. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Our revenue is primarily a function of the volume and pricing of the services provided to our customers, as well as the mix of services provided. Our revenue volume is impacted by new home warranty sales, customer retention and acquisitions. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States.
Operating Expenses. In addition to changes in our revenue, our operating results are affected by, among other things, the level of our operating expenses. Our operating expenses primarily include contract claims costs and expenses associated with sales and marketing, customer service and general corporate overhead. A number of our operating expenses are subject to inflationary pressures, such as: salaries and wages, employee benefits and healthcare; contractor costs; parts, appliances and home systems costs; tariffs; insurance premiums; and various regulatory compliance costs.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin. The presentation of gross profit and gross profit margin provides measures of performance which are primarily a function of the revenue drivers discussed above and contract claims costs drivers, primarily contractor costs and parts, appliances and home systems costs. Gross profit is computed by deducting cost of services rendered from revenue. Gross profit margin is computed as gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share. The presentation of net income and basic and diluted earnings per share provides measures of performance which are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties in company-to-company operating performance comparisons. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect, if any, of non-qualified stock options, performance options (which are stock options that become exercisable upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable performance goals, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the award agreement), RSUs, performance shares (which are contractual rights to receive a share of our common stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable performance goals, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the award agreement) and deferred share equivalents are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We evaluate our operating and financial performance primarily based on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before: depreciation and amortization expense; goodwill and intangibles impairment; restructuring charges; acquisition-related costs; provision for income taxes; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and other non-operating expenses. We define “Adjusted EBITDA margin” as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as they facilitate 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 and acquisition initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans.
Net Cash Provided from Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow. We focus on measures designed to monitor cash flow, including net cash provided from operating activities and Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and represents net cash provided from operating activities less property additions.
Number of Home Warranties and Customer Retention Rate. We report on our number of home warranties and customer retention rate as measurements of our operating performance. These measurements are presented on a rolling 12-month basis in order to avoid seasonal anomalies. The number of home warranties is representative of our recurring home warranty customer base and is measured as the number of customers with active contracts as of the respective period-end date. Our customer retention rate is calculated as the ratio of the number of end-of-period home warranty contracts to the sum of the number of beginning-of-period home warranty contracts and the number of new home warranty sales and acquired accounts during the respective period.

Revenue increased 14 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in renewal revenue reflects improved price realization resulting from our prior pricing actions and the impact of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, offset, in part, by a decline in the number of renewed home warranties. The increase in real estate revenue reflects the impact of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition. The increase in direct-to-consumer revenue reflects an increase in the number of direct-to-consumer home warranties and the impact of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, offset, in part, by lower price realization resulting from our discounting efforts to drive incremental sales. The increase in other revenue was primarily driven by the impact of new home structural warranties from the 2-10 HBW Acquisition and growth in non-warranty home services.

Revenue increased 13 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in renewal revenue reflects improved price realization resulting from our prior pricing actions and the impact of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, offset, in part, by a decline in the number of renewed home warranties. The increase in real estate revenue reflects the impact of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, offset, in part, by the challenging real estate macro environment. The increase in direct-to-consumer revenue reflects the impact of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition and an increase in the number of direct-to-consumer home warranties, offset, in part, by lower price realization resulting from our discounting efforts to drive incremental sales. The increase in other revenue was primarily driven by the impact of new home structural warranties from the 2-10 HBW Acquisition and growth in non-warranty home services.

The increase in contract claims costs primarily reflects inflationary cost pressures, offset, in part, by a lower number of service requests per customer, primarily driven by a favorable weather impact of $5 million. Additionally, contract claims costs reflects a $4 million favorable adjustment in the second quarter of 2025 related to the development of prior period claims, compared to a $5 million favorable adjustment in the second quarter of 2024.

The decrease in contract claims costs primarily reflects continued process improvement initiatives, specifically relating to better cost management across our contractor network and higher trade service fees, which drove a lower number of home warranty service requests per customer, offset, in part, by inflationary cost pressures. Additionally, contract claims costs reflects a $7 million favorable adjustment in the first six months of 2025 related to the development of prior period claims, compared to a $4 million favorable adjustment in the first six months of 2024.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
We reported selling and administrative expenses of $172 million and $167 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $323 million and $302 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Sales and marketing costs decreased due to the timing of marketing investments and sales optimization efforts, offset, in part, by increases driven by the 2-10 HBW Acquisition. Customer service costs increased primarily due to the 2-10 HBW acquisition and growth in non-warranty home services. Acquisition-related costs are driven by the 2-10 HBW Acquisition and represent direct third-party costs, including legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, as well as post-acquisition systems integration costs. Other general and administrative costs increased primarily due to increased personnel costs from the 2-10 HBW acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation expense was $9 million and $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $19 million and $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization expense was $12 million and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $25 million and $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with the increase primarily driven by the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges were less than $1 million and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and less than $1 million and $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, these charges primarily included expenses related to the exit of certain operating leases and severance costs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $20 million and $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $39 million and $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with the increase driven by the higher debt balance as compared to prior year as a result of financing the 2-10 HBW Acquisition.
Interest and Net Investment Income
Interest and net investment income was $4 million and $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $10 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 24.3 percent and 25.8 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 23.8 percent and 25.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to changes in share-based compensation and acquisition-related transaction costs.
Net Income
Net income was $111 million and $92 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $148 million and $126 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
A substantial portion of our liquidity needs are due to debt service requirements on our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit or restrict our ability, including the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, repurchase debt, incur liens, sell assets, make certain payments (including dividends) and enter into transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement. We do not believe current macroeconomic conditions will affect our ongoing ability to meet our debt covenants.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $562 million and $421 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and short- and long-term marketable securities totaled less than $1 million and $53 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Our cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable securities include balances associated with regulatory requirements in our business. See “—Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries.” As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total net assets subject to these third-party restrictions were $185 million and $184 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, there was $2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our $250 million Revolving Credit Facility, and the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $248 million. The letters of credit are posted in lieu of cash to satisfy regulatory requirements in certain states in which we operate. We currently believe that cash generated from operations, our cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025 will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations in the short- and long-term.
We closely monitor the performance of our investment portfolio, primarily cash deposits and short- and long-term marketable securities. We regularly review the statutory reserve requirements to which our regulated entities are subject and any changes to such requirements. These reviews may result in identifying current reserve levels above or below minimum statutory reserve requirements, in which case we may adjust our reserves. The reviews may also identify opportunities to satisfy certain regulatory reserve requirements through alternate financial vehicles.
We have a diversified investment strategy for our cash investments and give priority to the major financial institutions that serve as lenders under the Credit Agreement. Generally, our cash deposits may be redeemed on demand and are maintained with major financial institutions with solid credit ratings, although our holdings exceed insured limits in substantially all of our accounts.
We may, from time to time, issue new debt, repurchase or otherwise retire or extend our debt and/or take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position, gross and net leverage, results of operations or cash flows. These actions may include new debt issuance, open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of outstanding debt and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be issued, repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, and the price of such issuances, repurchases, retirements or refinancings will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.
31
Share Repurchase Program
On July 26, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to $650 million of our common stock over the three-year period from September 4, 2024 through September 4, 2027. Purchases under this repurchase program may be made from time to time by the company in the open market at prevailing market prices (including through Rule 10b5-1 Plans), in privately negotiated transactions, or through any combination of these methods, through September 4, 2027. The actual timing, number, manner and value of any shares repurchased will depend on several factors, including the market price of the company’s stock, general market and economic conditions, the company’s liquidity requirements, applicable legal requirements and other business considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any number of shares in any specific period or at all and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. As of June 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 3,563,822 outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $175 million under this program, which is included in treasury stock on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of June 30, 2025, we had $475 million remaining available for future repurchases under this program. We expect to fund future share repurchases from net cash provided from operating activities.
Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries
We depend on our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us so that we may pay obligations and expenses, including satisfying obligations with respect to indebtedness. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions and dividends to us depends on their operating results, cash requirements, financial condition and general business conditions, as well as restrictions under the laws of our subsidiaries’ jurisdictions.
Our subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to us.
Furthermore, there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us. The payments of ordinary and extraordinary dividends by certain of our subsidiaries (through which we conduct our business) are subject to significant regulatory restrictions under the laws and regulations of the states in which they operate. Among other things, such laws and regulations require certain subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital and net worth requirements and may limit the amount of ordinary and extraordinary dividends and other payments that these subsidiaries can pay to us. None of our subsidiaries are obligated to make funds available to us through the payment of dividends.
Cash Flows
Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are summarized in the following table:

Operating Activities
Net cash provided from operating activities was $251 million and $187 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 comprised $208 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $48 million in cash provided from working capital and long-term insurance-related accounts, offset, in part, by $5 million in payments for restructuring charges. Cash provided from working capital was primarily driven by seasonality, offset, in part, by payments of accrued bonuses and a decline in the number of first-year real estate home warranties, which are typically paid for upfront at the time of closing on the home sale.
Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 comprised $161 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $28 million in cash provided from working capital, offset, in part, by $3 million in payments for restructuring charges. Cash provided from working capital was primarily driven by seasonality, offset, in part, by payments of accrued bonuses and a decline in the number of first-year real estate home warranties, which are typically paid for upfront at the time of closing on the home sale.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided from investing activities was $42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to net cash used for investing activities of $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities was $60 million, purchases of available-for-sale securities was $6 million, and there was $3 million in cash provided from the finalization of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition purchase price. Capital expenditures were $14 million for six months ended June 30, 2025 and included recurring capital needs and technology projects. We expect capital expenditures for the full year 2025 relating to committed, recurring capital needs and the continuation of investments in information systems and productivity enhancing technology to be approximately $25 million to $35 million. We have no additional material capital commitments at this time.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, capital expenditures were $22 million and included recurring capital needs and technology projects.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $153 million and $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we made scheduled principal payments of debt of $14 million and purchased outstanding shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $135 million. Repurchases of common stock included associated commissions and taxes of $1 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made scheduled principal payments of debt of $8 million and purchased outstanding shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $58 million. Repurchases of common stock included associated commissions and taxes of $1 million.
Free Cash Flow
The following table reconciles net cash provided from operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow using data derived from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

Contractual Obligations
Our 2024 Form 10-K includes disclosures of our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2024. We continue to make the contractually required payments associated with these commitments. There are no significant additions to our obligations and commitments since those reported in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Financial Position
A summary of the significant changes in our financial position from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 is as follows:
34
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manage this exposure through the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing an interest rate swap. There have been no material changes to the market risk associated with debt obligations and other significant instruments from the risks described in Part II, Item 7A in our 2024 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act) the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Consistent with guidance issued by the SEC that an assessment of internal control over financial reporting of a recently acquired business may be omitted from management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, management is excluding an assessment of such internal controls for 2-10 HBW from its evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. 2-10 HBW was acquired by the company on December 19, 2024, and represented approximately 44% of the company’s consolidated total assets and 9% of its consolidated total revenues, as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information required with respect to this Part II, Item 1 can be found under Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding factors that could affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The risks described in our 2024 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial could also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On July 26, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to $650 million of our common stock over the three-year period from September 4, 2024 through September 4, 2027. We may make purchases under this repurchase program from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices (including through a Rule 10b5-1 Plan), in privately negotiated transactions, or through any combination of these methods. The actual timing, number, manner and value of any shares repurchased will depend on several factors, including the market price of our stock, general market and economic conditions, our liquidity requirements, applicable legal requirements and other business considerations. We are not obligated to acquire any number of shares in any specific period or at all, and we may suspend or discontinue our share repurchase program at any time at our discretion. As of June 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 3,563,822 outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $175 million, and we had $475 million remaining available for future repurchase under this program.
