“Frontdoor continues to perform exceptionally well, and we delivered another quarter of outstanding financial performance," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Cobb. “We organically grew Direct-to-Consumer member count 9%, we are successfully scaling non-warranty revenue and the 2-10 integration is ahead of schedule.

"We generated nearly $200 million in Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2025, underpinned by excellent operational execution supporting our margin structure," said Chief Financial Officer Jessica Ross. “With strong first half results combined with increasing confidence in the second half, we are raising our full-year outlook and returning record amounts of cash to shareholders through share repurchases."

Second-Quarter 2025 Results

Revenue increased 14% to $617 million and was comprised of a 2% increase from price and a 12% increase from higher volume, primarily driven by the 2-10 acquisition.

• Renewal revenue increased 9% due to the impact of the 2-10 acquisition and higher price realization, partially offset by lower volume;
• Real estate revenue increased 21% due to the impact of the 2-10 acquisition;
• Direct-to-consumer revenue increased 12% due to the impact of the 2-10 acquisition and higher volume, partially offset by lower price from our discounting strategy to drive new home warranty member growth; and
• Other revenue increased 63% due to the growth of the New HVAC and Moen Programs and the addition of New Home Structural Warranty revenue.

Second-quarter 2025 Net Income increased 21% to $111 million and second-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ increased 26% to $199 million. The table above shows the change versus the prior-year period, and includes:

• $51 million from higher revenue conversion⁽³⁾.
• $1 million of higher contract claims costs⁽⁴⁾, excluding the impact of claims costs related to the change in revenue. The increase in contract claims costs primarily reflects:
  • Low-single-digit cost inflation across our contractor network, replacement parts and equipment;
  • A lower number of service requests per customer, primarily driven by $5 million of favorable weather; and
  • Favorable claims cost development of $4 million, compared to a $5 million favorable claims cost development in the second quarter of 2024.
• $3 million of lower sales & marketing costs, primarily due to timing.
• Changes in customer service costs, acquisition-related costs, other general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expense are primarily due to the 2-10 acquisition.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided from operating activities was $251 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and was primarily comprised of $208 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $48 million of cash provided from working capital and long-term insurance related accounts, partially offset by $5 million in payments for restructuring charges.

Net cash provided from investing activities was $42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and was primarily comprised of the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by capital expenditures related to technology projects.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Frontdoor’s results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), Frontdoor has disclosed the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Unrestricted Cash.

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 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 and acquisition initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans.

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 U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net cash provided from operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

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 U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.
