"Momentum from improving volume trends in June 2025 carried into July, with open volume up 9% year-over-year through July 21," said Ryan Schneider, Anywhere Real Estate Inc. President and CEO. "Anywhere is driving a bold transformation of the real estate industry, empowering agents and franchisees through advanced AI, digital innovation, and the strategic scale of integrated businesses."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

The following table sets forth the Company's financial highlights for the periods presented (in millions, except per share data) (unaudited):

Guidance

The Company expects to realize cost savings of approximately $100 million in 2025, which we expect will be offset in part by inflationary pressures and investments as we look to make significant progress transforming our business.

The Company expects Operating EBITDA for full year 2025 to be about $350 million. The largest variable in this estimate is the performance of the housing market.

The Company expects Free Cash Flow excluding one-time items to be approximately $70 million. Free Cash Flow, like Operating EBITDA, is driven by the overall housing market and may be impacted by additional investments we make to drive growth and advance our technology strategy.

The one-time items consist of three payments. First, $41 million for a 1999 Cendant legacy tax matter, which was paid in second quarter of 2025 and that the Company intends to appeal. Next, an approximately $20 million payment for settlement of the Company's TCPA litigation, which is subject to final court approval. Last, the final $54 million payment towards our antitrust litigation settlement, which will be due when appeals are resolved, the timing of which is uncertain (but which we now anticipate may occur in late 2025 or early 2026).

This guidance is subject to, among other things, macroeconomic and housing market uncertainties, including those related to declining affordability, constrained inventory and competitive, litigation and regulatory uncertainties. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Balance Sheet

Total corporate debt, including the short-term portion, net of cash and cash equivalents (net corporate debt), totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2025. The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $266 million. The Company's Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.07x at June 30, 2025 (see Table 8a). The Company's Net Debt Leverage Ratio was 7.2x at June 30, 2025 (see Table 8b).

On June 26, 2025, Anywhere Group and Anywhere Co-Issuer Corp. issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes and used the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase $345 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for an aggregate cash payment of $339 million. Following the repurchase, approximately $58 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes remains outstanding.

The Company used the remaining net proceeds to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in July 2025. As of July 28, 2025 the Company had $460 million of outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As required by SEC rules, important information regarding such measures is contained in the Tables attached to this release. See Tables 8a, 8b and 9 for definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and Tables 1a, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, 8a and 8b for reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP terms.

Reconciliations of the Company's estimates of 2025 Operating EBITDA and full-year Free Cash Flow excluding one-time items set forth under "Guidance", which are each non-GAAP financial measures, to estimated net income (loss) attributable to Anywhere are not provided because of the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the items that would be necessary for such reconciliations. The Company also believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to provide such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on GAAP results.
