Fourth-quarter 2023 revenue increased 8% to
- Renewal revenue increased 12% due to improved price realization that was partially offset by lower volume;
- Real estate revenue decreased 15% due to lower sales as a result of the challenging real estate market that was partially offset by improved price realization;
- Direct-to-consumer revenue decreased 14% due to lower sales, which we believe was driven by a decline in overall category demand for home warranties; and
-
Other revenue increased
$6 million due to higher on-demand home services.

-
$29 million from higher revenue conversion(3), as price increases were partly offset by lower volume; -

- Ongoing inflationary cost pressures from our contractor network, replacement parts and equipment; and
-
Favorable claims cost development of
$6 million , compared to a$25 million favorable cost development in the fourth quarter of 2022; and
-
A lower number of service requests per customer, including a
-
$17 million of higher sales and marketing costs, primarily investments to drive direct-to-consumer sales; and -
$6 million of higher G&A costs primarily due to increased personnel costs.

First-Quarter 2024 Outlook
-
Revenue of
$370 million to$380 million , reflecting upper-single digit growth in the renewals channel, partially offset by a 20% to 25% decline in the first-year real estate channel and an approximately 20% decline in the first-year direct-to-consumer channel. Additionally, other revenue is projected to increase approximately$5 million . -
Adjusted EBITDA(2) of
$40 million to$50 million , a decline from the prior-year period as a result of increased marketing investments to drive first-year direct-to-consumer customer count.
Full-Year 2024 Outlook
-
Revenue to grow approximately 2% to 3% to
$1.81 billion to$1.84 billion . Key assumptions include:- A mid-single digit increase in renewals channel revenue;
- Approximately 10% decline in direct-to-consumer channel revenue;
- A 15% to 20% decline in real estate channel revenue;
- Approximately 30% increase in other revenue, which is primarily driven by the new HVAC program;
- The number of home warranties is expected to decline 1% to 3%.
- Gross profit margin of 48.5% to 49.5%, which reflects the impact of reverting back to normal weather conditions, as well as a slightly higher mix of on-demand services.
-
SG&A of
$580 million to$595 million , which is slightly higher than the prior year due to normal cost inflation in general and administrative expenses. Additionally, there is a shift in marketing investments from the Frontdoor brand toAmerican Home Shield to support the brand relaunch. -
Adjusted EBITDA(2) of
$350 million to$360 million . -
Capital expenditures of approximately
$35 million to$45 million . - Annual effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
2024 Share Repurchase Outlook
-
The company is targeting full year share repurchases of approximately
$100 million .

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Frontdoor’s results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
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, and it is a component of our incentive compensation program.
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
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
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
© 2024
(1) |
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 first-quarter and full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income 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 warranties as well as the impact of year-over-year price changes. The impact of the change in the number of home warranties 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 warranties in the prior year period. The impact on contract claims costs resulting from year-over-year changes in the number of home warranties is included in revenue conversion above. |
