Note 3. Revenue

The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home service plan contracts entered into with our customers. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States.

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 is as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Renewals	$	398	$	347	$	677	$	593
Real estate⁽¹⁾		42		57		75		102
Direct-to-consumer⁽¹⁾		58		66		103		112
Other		24		18		35		31
Total	$	523	$	487	$	890	$	838

_____________________________

(1)First-year revenue only.

Our home service plan contracts have one 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 service plans 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 service plan contracts, which were previously initiated in the real estate or direct-to-consumer channel are classified as renewals 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 service plan contract. Customer payments for renewals are typically received either at the commencement of the renewal period or in installments over the new contract period.

Real estate

Real estate home service plans are sold through annual contracts which 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. At the option of the customer, upon renewal of the contract, the future revenue derived from home service plans sold in this channel is classified as Renewal revenue as described above.

Direct-to-consumer

Direct-to-consumer home service plans are sold through annual contracts which occur in response to our marketing efforts. Customer payments for direct-to-consumer sales are typically received at the commencement of the contract or in installments over the contract period. First-year revenue from the direct-to-consumer channel is classified as direct-to-consumer above. At the option of the customer, upon renewal of the contract, the future revenue derived from home service plans sold in this channel is classified as Renewal revenue as described above.

Other

Other revenue primarily includes revenue generated by on-demand home services and Streem, as well as administrative fees and ancillary services attributable to our home service plan contracts.

Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs

We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, primarily sales commissions, 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 $14 million and $16 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization of deferred customer acquisition costs was $5 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $8 million and $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no impairment losses related to these capitalized costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

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 and anticipate the collection of amounts due to us. Contracts for home service plans 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 service plan 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 $14 million as of June 30, 2023.

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 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:



(In millions)
Balance at beginning of period	$	121
Deferral of revenue		116
Recognition of deferred revenue		(130)
Balance at end of period	$	107

There was approximately $47 million and $94 million of revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022.

Note 4. Intangible Assets

The following table provides a summary of the components of our intangible assets:



	As of June 30, 2023						As of December 31, 2022
			Accumulated						Accumulated

Total	$	365	$	(219)	$	145	$	365	$	(217)	$	148

_____________________________

(1)Not subject to amortization.

Amortization expense was $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2 million and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no impairment charges in these periods.

Note 5. Leases

We have operating leases primarily for our corporate offices, customer service centers and engineering and technology campuses. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 12 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years.

The weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate related to our operating leases are as follows:



	As of
	June 30,		December 31,
	2023		2022
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)	9		9
Weighted-average discount rate	6.4	%	6.3	%

We recognized operating lease expense of $1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and $2 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. These expenses are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to our operating lease liabilities is as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information related to our operating leases is as follows:

_____________________________

(1)Amount is presented net of future sublease income totaling $3 million, which relates to the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2023 and the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2026.

Sublease of Prior Corporate Headquarters

On August 10, 2022, we subleased our prior corporate headquarters facility in Memphis, Tennessee. As a result of us exiting the facility on June 27, 2022, we incurred a non-cash impairment charge of $11 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Note 6. Income Taxes

We are subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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 24.8 percent and 23.2 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 24.9 percent and 25.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to the impacts of share-based awards and a decrease in income tax credits, partially offset by state income taxes.

Note 7. Restructuring Charges

We incurred restructuring charges of less than $1 million (less than $1 million, net of tax) and $12 million ($9 million, net of tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1 million ($1 million, net of tax) and $12 million ($9 million, net of tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring charges primarily include severance costs.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, restructuring charges primarily comprised an $11 million impairment charge related to our prior corporate headquarters facility operating lease right-of-use asset and leasehold improvements and $1 million of severance and other costs. The impairment was the result of vacating the facility with the intent to sublease.

The pre-tax charges discussed above are reported in “Restructuring charges” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

As of December 31, 2022, there were $2 million of restructuring charges accrued, of which $1 million were paid or otherwise settled during the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, there were $1 million in accrued restructuring charges in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Accruals for home service plan 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 service plan claims take approximately three months to settle, on average, and substantially all claims are settled within six months of incurrence. The amount of time required to settle a claim can vary based on a number of factors, including whether a replacement is ultimately required. In addition to our estimates, we engage a third-party actuary to perform an accrual analysis utilizing generally accepted actuarial methods that incorporate cumulative historical claims experience and information provided by us. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs along with the third-party analysis and adjust our estimates when appropriate. We believe that utilizing actuarial methods in our estimation process to account for these liabilities provides a consistent and effective way to measure these judgmental accruals.

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.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $8 million ($7 million, net of tax) and $6 million ($4 million, net of tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $13 million ($11 million, net of tax) and $12 million ($10 million, net of tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These costs are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

A summary of awards granted under the Omnibus Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:




		Weighted-	Weighted-	Weighted-
	Number of	Average	Average	Average
	Awards	Exercise	Grant Date	Vesting
	Granted	Price	Fair Value	Period
Stock options	661,231	26.67	12.49	4.0
Performance options⁽¹⁾	652,004	26.42	10.40	4.0
Restricted stock units	916,422		26.58	3.0

_____________________________

(1)The information related to performance options above assumes 100% of the performance target is met. The performance options contain a market condition that is based on a per share price target for our common stock, and the ultimate number of performance options that may be earned depends on the achievement of this market condition.

As of June 30, 2023, there was $49 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options, performance options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.95 years.

(2)Term Loan B is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $3 million and unamortized discount of $1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

In March 2023, in connection with the planned phase-out of LIBOR, we amended our Credit Facilities to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement. This change was effective in March 2023 for the Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility and in June 2023 for the Term Loan B.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $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. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Note 13. 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 an interest rate swap contract. 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 contract is classified as a cash flow hedge, and, as such, it is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position 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 contract 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 contract is 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 12 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 gain in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is $6 million, net of tax, as of June 30, 2023. The amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months will be determined based on the actual interest rates in effect at the time the positions are settled, and as a result, they could differ materially from our estimate noted above.

Note 14. 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. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of our total debt were $601 million and $609 million, respectively, and the estimated fair values were $598 million and $613 million, respectively. The fair value of our debt was estimated based on available market prices for the same or similar instruments that are considered significant other observable inputs (Level 2) within the fair value hierarchy and was based on information available to us as of the respective period end dates.

We determine the fair value of our interest rate swap contract using a forward interest rate curve obtained from a third-party market data provider. The fair value of the 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 rate to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between these two rates to the notional amount of debt in the interest rate swap contract.

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, 2023. Transfers between hierarchy levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between hierarchy levels during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Our interest rate swap contract is currently our only financial instrument remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis. A summary of the carrying value and fair value of this financial instrument are as follows:

			Prices		Other		Significant
			in Active		Observable		Unobservable

Note 15. Share Repurchase Program

On September 7, 2021, we announced a three-year repurchase authorization of up to $400 million of outstanding shares of our common stock over the three-year period from September 3, 2021 through September 3, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, we have repurchased a total of 5,552,053 outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $195 million, which is included in treasury stock on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position, and had $205 million remaining available for future repurchases under this program.

Note 16. 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 RSAs are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.

A summary of the calculations of our basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Overview

Frontdoor is the leading provider of home service plans in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates primarily under the American Home Shield brand. Our customizable home service plans 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 service plan customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of more than 20 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. Frontdoor also provides a one-stop app for home repair and maintenance. Enabled by our Streem technology, the app empowers homeowners by connecting them in real time through video chat with pre-qualified experts to diagnose and solve their problems. Additionally, Frontdoor now offers home service plans under the Frontdoor brand. As of June 30, 2023, we had 2.1 million active home service plans across all brands in the United States.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $523 million, $70 million and $121 million, respectively, and $487 million, $33 million and $77 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $890 million, $91 million and $174 million, respectively, and $838 million, $35 million and $102 million, respectively. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, see “—Results of Operations—Adjusted EBITDA.”

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our total operating revenue included 76 percent of revenue derived from existing customer renewals, while eight percent and 12 percent were derived from new home service plan sales made in conjunction with existing home real estate transactions and direct-to-consumer sales, respectively, and four percent was derived from other revenue channels. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our total operating revenue included 71 percent of revenue derived from existing customer renewals, while 12 percent and 13 percent were derived from new home service plan sales made in conjunction with existing home real estate transactions and direct-to-consumer sales, respectively, and three percent was derived from other revenue channels.

Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

Macroeconomic Conditions

Evolving macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, global supply chain challenges and instability in the banking system as a result of several recent regional bank failures, especially as they may affect existing home sales, interest rates, consumer confidence, consumer sentiment or labor availability, may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs and 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our financial condition and results of operations continued to be adversely impacted by the following:

The challenging home seller’s market, driven, in part, by a decline in the number of home resale transactions combined with extremely low home inventory levels and rising interest rates, continued to constrain demand for home service plans in the first-year real estate channel.

Consumer sentiment remains pressured as higher inflation eroded real personal income. We believe this environment, combined with our higher prices for a home service plan, impacted our ability to add customers, especially in the direct-to-consumer channel.

Our contractors continued to be impacted by inflation, including higher labor, parts and equipment costs and labor availability challenges. We continue to take actions to mitigate these impacts, including increasing the percent of service requests completed by lower-cost preferred contractors, increasing the share of parts and equipment our contractors source through us at lower costs and accelerating contractor recruitment efforts.

Industry-wide parts and equipment availability has returned to pre-pandemic levels; however, inflation levels for the period remained high.

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 in the summer months. In 2022, approximately 21 percent, 29 percent, 29 percent and 21 percent of our revenue, approximately two percent, 47 percent, 39 percent and 12 percent of our net income, and approximately 12 percent, 36 percent, 37 percent and 15 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, 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 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 the first six months of 2023 as compared to the first six months of 2022 resulted in a lower number of service requests per customer, 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 typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes 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 service plans 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 could increase the costs of our parts, appliances and home systems.

Competition

We compete in the U.S. home service plan category and the broader U.S. home services industry. The home service plan category is highly competitive. While we have a broad range of competitors in each locality and region, we are the only home service plan company providing home service plans nationwide. The broader U.S. home services industry is also highly competitive. We compete against businesses providing on-demand home services directly and those offering leads to contractors seeking to provide on-demand 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 approximately 15,000 pre-qualified professional contractor firms, in combination with our large base of contracted customers, differentiate us from other platforms in the home services industry.

Acquisition Activity

We anticipate that the highly fragmented nature of the home service plan category will continue to create strategic opportunities for acquisitions. Historically, we have used acquisitions to cost-effectively grow our customer base in high-growth geographies, and we intend to continue to do so. We may also explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions that will expand our service offering in the broader home services industry. We have also used acquisitions to enhance our technological capabilities and geographic presence. For example, in 2019, we acquired Streem to enable home service professionals to more efficiently interact with customers and complete repairs, and, in 2020, we acquired a business to expand on-demand home services via its intellectual capital and know-how, technology platform capabilities and geographic presence.

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. 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:

revenue,

operating expenses,

net income,

earnings per share,

Adjusted EBITDA,

Adjusted EBITDA margin,

net cash provided from operating activities,

Free Cash Flow,

growth in number of home service plans, and

customer retention rate.

Revenue. The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home service plan contracts entered into with our customers. Home service plan 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 service plan 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.

________________________________

(1)First-year revenue only.

Revenue increased seven percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in renewal revenue primarily reflects improved price realization. The decrease in real estate revenue primarily reflects a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans driven by a continuation of the challenging home seller’s market. The decrease in direct-to-consumer revenue primarily reflects a decline in the number of first-year direct-to-consumer home service plans which we believe resulted from a change in consumer sentiment as a result of macroeconomic factors and higher consumer price sensitivity. The increase in other revenue was primarily driven by growth in on-demand home services.

________________________________

(1)First-year revenue only.

Revenue increased six percent for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in renewal revenue primarily reflects improved price realization. The decrease in real estate revenue primarily reflects a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans driven by a continuation of the challenging home seller’s market. The decrease in direct-to-consumer revenue primarily reflects a decline in the number of first-year direct-to-consumer home service plans which we believe resulted from a change in consumer sentiment as a result of macroeconomic factors and higher consumer price sensitivity. The increase in other revenue was primarily driven by growth in on-demand home services.

The following table provides a summary of the number of home service plans, growth in number of home service plans and customer retention rate:



	As of
	June 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Number of home service plans	2.07		2.17
Reduction in number of home service plans	(4)	%	(3)	%
Customer retention rate	76.3	%	74.4	%

The reduction in the number of home service plans as of June 30, 2023 was primarily impacted by a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans, which was driven by a continuation of the challenging home seller’s market, as well as a decline in the number of direct-to-consumer home service plans, which we believe resulted from a change in consumer sentiment as a result of macroeconomic factors and higher consumer price sensitivity.

Cost of Services Rendered

We reported cost of services rendered of $253 million and $276 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $449 million and $483 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The following tables provide a summary of the changes in cost of services rendered:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Impact of change in revenue		(7)
Contract claims costs		(18)
Other		1
Three Months Ended June 30, 2023	$	253

The impact of change in revenue is driven by the reduction in number of home service plans. The decrease in contract claims costs reflects a favorable weather impact of $17 million as cooler than normal weather drove a lower number of service requests per customer. Additionally, contract claims costs reflects a $4 million favorable adjustment related to the development of prior period claims, compared to a $7 million unfavorable adjustment in the second quarter of 2022, and continued process improvement initiatives. These favorable items were offset, in part, by inflationary cost pressures, including higher contractor-related expenses and parts and equipment costs.

Impact of change in revenue		(13)
Contract claims costs		(22)
Other		1
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023	$	449

The impact of change in revenue is driven by the reduction in number of home service plans. The decrease in contract claims costs reflects a favorable weather impact of $23 million as mild weather drove a lower number of service requests per customer. Additionally, contract claims costs reflects a $9 million favorable adjustment related to the development of prior period claims, compared to a $12 million unfavorable adjustment in the first six months of 2022, and continued process improvement initiatives. These favorable items were offset, in part, by inflationary cost pressures, including higher contractor-related expenses and parts and equipment costs.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

We reported selling and administrative expenses of $162 million and $140 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $287 million and $266 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 ad 2022, respectively. The following tables provide a summary of the components of selling and administrative expenses:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Sales and marketing costs	$	88	$	72	$	147	$	128
Customer service costs		27		30		53		58
General and administrative costs		47		38		86		80
Total	$	162	$	140	$	287	$	266

The following tables provide a summary of the changes in selling and administrative expenses:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022



(In millions)
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022	$	140
Sales and marketing costs		16
Customer service costs		(3)
Stock-based compensation expense		2
General and administrative costs		6
Three Months Ended June 30, 2023	$	162

Sales and marketing costs increased due to our investment in marketing associated with the launch of the Frontdoor brand. Customer service costs decreased primarily due to lower labor costs driven by a lower number of service requests. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to investments in technology and increased personnel costs and professional fees.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation expense was $8 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $16 million and $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expense was $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2 million and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily due to incremental capital expenditures. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily driven by the impairment to the Streem reporting unit in the third quarter of 2022.

Restructuring Charges

We had restructuring charges of less than $1 million and $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1 million and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, these charges primarily include severance costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $10 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $20 million and $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was driven by higher interest rates on our variable rate debt.

Interest and Net Investment Income

Interest and net investment income was $4 million and less than $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $8 million and less than $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase driven was by higher interest rates on our cash and cash equivalent balances.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 24.8 percent and 23.2 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 24.9 percent and 25.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to the impacts of share-based awards and a decrease in income tax credits, partially offset by state income taxes.

Net Income

Net income was $70 million and $33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $91 million and $35 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the operating results discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $121 million and $77 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $174 million and $102 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The following table provides a summary of the changes in our Adjusted EBITDA:

_________________________________

(1)We exclude restructuring charges from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it does not reflect our ongoing operations and because we believe doing so is useful to investors in aiding period-to-period comparability.

(2)We exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense from Adjusted EBITDA primarily because it is a non-cash expense and because it is not used by management to assess ongoing operational performance. We believe excluding this expense from Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in aiding period-to-period comparability.

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, 2023, 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 $344 million and $292 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents include balances associated with regulatory requirements in our business. See “—Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries.” As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total net assets subject to these third-party restrictions were $158 million and $145 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, 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, 2023 will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations in the short- and long-term.

In March 2023, in connection with the planned phase-out of LIBOR, we amended our Credit Facilities to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement. This change was effective in March 2023 for Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility and in June 2023 for Term Loan B.

We closely monitor the performance of our investment portfolio, primarily cash deposits. From time to time, we 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 look for opportunities to improve their performance, by diversifying these financial instruments among various counterparties, with priority given for 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, repurchase or otherwise retire or extend our debt and/or take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position, gross leverage, results of operations or cash flows. These actions may include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of outstanding debt and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, and the price of such repurchases, retirements or refinancings will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

On September 7, 2021, we announced a three-year repurchase authorization of up to $400 million of outstanding shares of our common stock. We expect to fund the share repurchases from net cash provided from operating activities. As of June 30, 2023, we have repurchased a total of 5,552,053 outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $195 million, which is included in treasury stock on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, and had $205 million remaining available for future repurchases under this program. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made from time to time by the company 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, through September 3, 2024. 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.

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 third-party restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us. These restrictions are related to regulatory requirements. 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. We expect that such limitations will be in effect for the foreseeable future. In Texas, we are relieved of the obligation to post 75 percent of our otherwise required reserves because we operate a captive insurer approved by Texas regulators in order to satisfy such obligations. 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:



	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Net cash provided from (used for):
Operating activities	$	112	$	94
Investing activities		(15)		(19)
Financing activities		(44)		(69)
Cash increase during the period	$	52	$	6

Operating Activities

Net cash provided from operating activities was $112 million and $94 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 comprised $117 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges, offset, in part, by $5 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 provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 comprised $68 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $26 million in cash provided from working capital. Cash provided from working capital was primarily driven by seasonality.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $15 million and $19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Capital expenditures were $15 million and $19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and included recurring capital needs and technology projects. We expect capital expenditures for the full year 2023 relating to recurring capital needs and the continuation of investments in information systems and productivity enhancing technology to be approximately $35 million to $45 million. We have no additional material capital commitments at this time.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities was $44 million and $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we made scheduled principal payment of debt of $8 million and purchased outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $34 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we made scheduled principal payments of debt and finance lease obligations of $8 million and purchased outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $59 million.

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 2022 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On September 7, 2021, we announced a three-year repurchase authorization of up to $400 million of outstanding shares of our common stock over the three-year period from September 3, 2021 through September 3, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, we have repurchased a total of 5,552,053 outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $195 million and had $205 million remaining available for future repurchases under this program.
