INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our," "our company," "Realogy," "Realogy Holdings" and the "Company" refer to Realogy Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Realogy Intermediate Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Realogy Intermediate"), and Realogy Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Realogy Group"). Neither Realogy Holdings, the indirect parent of Realogy Group, nor Realogy Intermediate, the direct parent company of Realogy Group, conducts any operations other than with respect to its respective direct or indirect ownership of Realogy Group. As a result, the consolidated financial positions, results of operations and cash flows of Realogy Holdings, Realogy Intermediate and Realogy Group are the same.
Realogy Holdings is not a party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 5, 2013, as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time (the "Senior Secured Credit Agreement") that governs our senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility", which includes our "Revolving Credit Facility" and our "Term Loan B") and the Term Loan A Agreement dated as of October 23, 2015, as amended from time to time (the "Term Loan A Agreement") that governs our senior secured term loan A credit facility (the "Term Loan A Facility") and certain references in this report to our consolidated indebtedness exclude Realogy Holdings with respect to indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility. In addition, while Realogy Holdings is a guarantor of Realogy Group's obligations under its unsecured notes, Realogy Holdings is not subject to the restrictive covenants in the indentures governing such indebtedness.
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms "5.25% Senior Notes", "4.875% Senior Notes" and "9.375% Senior Notes" refer to our 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021, our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023, and our 9.375% Senior Notes due 2027, respectively, and are referred to collectively as the "Unsecured Notes." The term "4.50% Senior Notes" refers to our 4.50% Senior Notes due 2019 (paid in full in February 2019).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "project," "estimate," "plan," and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "should," "would," "may" and "could" are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts.
In particular, information appearing under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, it is based on management's current plans and expectations, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, we can give no assurance that any such expectation or belief will result or will be achieved or accomplished.
The following include some, but not all, of the factors that could affect our future results and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:
•
adverse developments or the absence of sustained improvement in general business, economic or political conditions or the U.S. residential real estate markets, either regionally or nationally, including but not limited to:
◦
a decline or a lack of improvement in the number of homesales;
◦
stagnant or declining home prices;
◦
a reduction in the affordability of housing;
◦
increasing mortgage rates and/or constraints on the availability of mortgage financing;
◦
insufficient or excessive home inventory levels by market and price point;
◦
a lack of improvement or deceleration in the building of new housing and/or irregular timing or volume of new development closings;
◦
the potential negative impact of certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”) on (i) home values over time in states with high property, sales and state and local income taxes and (ii) homeownership rates; and/or
◦
the impact of recessions, slow economic growth, or a deterioration in other economic factors that particularly impact the residential real estate market and the business segments in which we operate whether broadly or by geography and price segments;
•
the impact of increased competition in the industry and for the affiliation of independent sales agents on our results of operations and market share, including competition from:
◦
real estate brokerages, including those seeking to disrupt historic real estate brokerage models;
◦
other industry participants seeking to eliminate brokers or agents from, or minimize the role they play in, the homesale transaction; and
◦
other industry participants otherwise competing for a portion of gross commission income;
•
continuing pressure on the share of gross commission income paid by our company owned brokerages and affiliated franchisees to affiliated independent sales agents and independent sales agent teams;
•
our inability to successfully develop or procure technology that supports our strategy to grow the base of independent sales agents at our company owned and franchisee real estate brokerages;
•
our geographic and high-end market concentration, including the heightened competition for independent sales agents in those geographies and price points;
•
our inability to enter into franchise agreements with new franchisees or renew existing franchise agreements at current contractual royalty rates without increasing the amount and prevalence of sales incentives;
•
the lack of revenue growth or declining profitability of our franchisees and company owned brokerage operations or declines in other revenue streams, such as third-party listing fees;
•
negative industry or business trends (including further declines in our market capitalization) may have an impact on our valuation of goodwill and intangibles;
2
Table of Contents
•
the loss of a significant affinity client or multiple significant relocation clients or changes in corporate relocation practices resulting in fewer employee relocations, reduced relocation benefits and/or increasing competition in corporate relocation;
•
an increase in the
experienced
claims losses of our title underwriter;
•
our failure or alleged failure to comply with laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations and any changes or stricter interpretations of any of the foregoing (whether through private litigation or governmental action), including but not limited to (1) state or federal employment laws or regulations that would require reclassification of independent contractor sales agents to employee status, (2) privacy or data security laws and regulations, (3) the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") or other federal or state consumer protection or similar laws and (4) antitrust laws and regulations;
•
risks relating to our ability to return capital to stockholders including, among other risks, the restrictions contained in our debt agreements, in particular the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes;
•
risks associated with our substantial indebtedness and interest obligations and restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including risks relating to having to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flows from operations to service our debt and risks relating to our ability to refinance or repay our indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness; and
•
risks and growing costs related to both cybersecurity threats to our data and customer, franchisee, employee and independent sales agent data, as well as those related to our compliance with the growing number of laws, regulations and other requirements related to the protection of personal information.
More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
(the "
2018
Form 10-K"), particularly under the captions "Forward-Looking Statements," "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Most of these factors are difficult to anticipate and are generally beyond our control. You should consider these factors in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our businesses generally.
All forward-looking statements herein speak only as of the date of this report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in or incorporated by reference into this report. Except as is required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this report. For any forward-looking statement contained in this report, our public filings or other public statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Item 1. Financial Statements.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Realogy Holdings Corp.
Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Realogy Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of
June 30, 2019
, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, and comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of
December 31, 2018
, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 26, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
information as of
December 31, 2018
, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

REALOGY HOLDINGS CORP. AND REALOGY GROUP LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions)
(Unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Realogy Holdings Corp. ("Realogy Holdings", "Realogy" or the "Company") is a holding company for its consolidated subsidiaries including Realogy Intermediate Holdings LLC ("Realogy Intermediate") and Realogy Group LLC ("Realogy Group") and its consolidated subsidiaries. Realogy, through its subsidiaries, is a global provider of residential real estate services. Neither Realogy Holdings, the indirect parent of Realogy Group, nor Realogy Intermediate, the direct parent company of Realogy Group, conducts any operations other than with respect to its respective direct or indirect ownership of Realogy Group. As a result, the consolidated financial positions, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of Realogy Holdings, Realogy Intermediate and Realogy Group are the same.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of Realogy Holdings and Realogy Group. Realogy Holdings' only asset is its investment in the common stock of Realogy Intermediate, and Realogy Intermediate's only asset is its investment in Realogy Group. Realogy Holdings' only obligations are its guarantees of certain borrowings and certain franchise obligations of Realogy Group. All expenses incurred by Realogy Holdings and Realogy Intermediate are for the benefit of Realogy Group and have been reflected in Realogy Group's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Interim results may not be indicative of full year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. The Company has eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these financial statements. In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and the related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of Realogy Holdings and Realogy Group's financial position as of
June 30, 2019
and the results of operations and comprehensive income for the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
and cash flows
for the six months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at
December 31, 2018
was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
.
As discussed in further detail below under
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
, effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) "Leases". The adoption of this standard is reflected in the amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10-Q.
Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.
Level Input:
Input Definitions:
Level I
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the
measurement date.
Level II
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through
corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level III
Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
10
Table of Contents
The availability of observable inputs can vary from asset to asset and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of asset, whether the asset is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level III. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to quoted market values. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined based upon a discounted cash flow approach.
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis and recognizes transfers within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred.
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at

The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration for acquisitions is measured using a probability weighted-average discount rate to estimate future cash flows based upon the likelihood of achieving future operating results for individual acquisitions. These assumptions are deemed to be unobservable inputs and as such the Company’s contingent consideration is classified within Level III of the valuation hierarchy. The Company reassesses the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis.

The fair value of the Company's indebtedness is categorized as Level II.
Equity Method Investments
At
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the Company had various equity method investments aggregating
$
60
million
and
$
51
million
, respectively, which are recorded within other non-current assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment balances at
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
included
$
52
million
and
$
43
million
, respectively, for the Company's investment in Guaranteed Rate Affinity, LLC ("Guaranteed Rate Affinity").
For the three months ended
June 30, 2019
and 2018, the Company recorded equity
earnings
of
$
7
million
and
$
2
million
, respectively, at the Title and Settlement Services segment.
For the six months ended
June 30, 2019
and 2018, the Company recorded equity
earnings
of
$
8
million
and equity
losses
of
$
2
million
, respectively, at the Title and Settlement Services segment.
The Company received
$
1
million
in cash dividends from equity method investments during both the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
. The Company invested
$
2
million
and
$
4
million
of cash into Guaranteed Rate Affinity during the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying its estimated annual effective tax rate against the income before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items are recorded in the period in which they occur. The provision for income taxes was an expense of
$
34
million
and
$
52
million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
, respectively, and a benefit of
$
1
million
and an expense of
$
33
million
for the six months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
, respectively.
Derivative Instruments
The Company records derivatives and hedging activities on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts largely to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. The Company primarily manages its foreign currency exposure to the Swiss Franc, British Pound, Euro and Canadian Dollar. The Company has not elected to utilize hedge accounting for these forward contracts; therefore, any change in fair value is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, the fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts generally offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge. As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position with a fair value of less than
$
1
million
and a notional value of
$
28
million
. As of
December 31, 2018
, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position with a fair value of less than
$
1
million
and a notional value of
$
27
million
.

Table of Contents
The Company also enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates associated with its variable rate borrowings. As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of
$
1,600
million
to offset the variability in cash flows resulting from the term loan facilities as follows:
Notional Value (in millions)
Commencement Date
Expiration Date

The swaps help to protect our outstanding variable rate borrowings from future interest rate volatility. The Company has not elected to utilize hedge accounting for these interest rate swaps; therefore, any change in fair value is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

_______________
(a)
The Company collects initial area development fees ("ADF") for international territory transactions, which are recorded as deferred revenue when received and recognized into franchise revenue over the average
25
year life of the related franchise agreement as
consideration for the right to access and benefit from Realogy’s brands.
In the event an ADF agreement is terminated prior to the end of its term, the unamortized deferred revenue balance will be recognized into revenue immediately upon termination.
(b)
Revenues recognized include intercompany marketing fees paid by the Company Owned Real Estate Brokerage Services segment.
(c)
New development closings generally have a development period of between
18
and
24
months from contracted date to closing.
(d)
Network fees are generally billed annually and
recognized into revenue on a straight-line basis each month during the membership period.
(e)
Outsourcing management fees are recorded as deferred revenue when billed (usually at the start of the relocation) and are recognized as revenue over the average time period required to complete the transferee's move, or a phase of the move that the fee covers, which is typically
3
to
6
months depending on the move type.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the SEC issued a final rule that amends certain disclosure requirements as part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness and simplify compliance. The final rule eliminates redundant, duplicative and overlapping requirements which are substantially similar to current GAAP or other SEC disclosure requirements, as well as amends or removes outdated and superseded requirements. However, in some situations, the amendments expanded disclosure requirements, such as an analysis of changes in stockholders’ equity will now be required for the current and comparative quarter and year-to-date interim periods. The Company applied the amendments in the final rule to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the interim disclosure requirements to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Adoption of the New Leasing Standard
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) "Leases" (the "new leasing standard") which requires virtually all leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new leasing standard using the modified retrospective transition approach with optional transition relief and recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new leasing standard to existing contracts on the balance sheet on January 1, 2019. Therefore, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new leasing standard; however, the comparative prior period amounts have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under ASC Topic 840. The most significant effects of adoption of the new leasing standard relate to the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for operating leases. The new leasing standard did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The impact of the changes to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the adoption of the new leasing standard were as follows:
Balance Sheet accounts prior to the new leasing standard adoption adjustments
Adjustments due to the adoption of the new leasing standard
Balance Sheet accounts after the new leasing standard adoption adjustments

adjustment to Total assets due to the adoption of the new leasing standard consists of
$
414

at the Company Owned Brokerage Services segment,

The Company elected a package of practical expedients that were consequently applied to all leases. The Company did not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases, nor whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under the new standard. Upon transition, the Company did not elect to use hindsight with respect to lease renewals and purchase options when accounting for existing leases, as well as assessing the impairment of right-of-use assets. Therefore, lease terms largely remained unchanged. In addition, the Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption and did not recognize a lease obligation and right-of-use asset on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of
12
months
or less. The Company elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components in total gross rent for all of its leases which resulted in a larger lease liability recorded on the balance sheet.

LEASES
The
Company's lease portfolio consists primarily of office space and equipment. The Company has approximately
1,000
real estate leases with lease terms ranging from less than
1
year
to
17
years
and includes the Company's brokerage sales offices, regional and branch offices for our title and relocation businesses, corporate headquarters, regional headquarters, and facilities serving as local administration, training and storage. The Company's brokerage sales offices are generally located in shopping centers and small office parks, typically with lease terms of
1
year
to
5
years
. In addition, the Company has equipment leases which primarily consist of furniture, computers and other office equipment.
Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. At lease commencement, the Company records a liability for its lease obligation measured at the present value of future lease payments and a right-of-use asset equal to the lease liability adjusted for prepayments and lease incentives.
The Company uses its collateralized incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of lease liabilities as most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate that is readily determinable.
The Company does not recognize a lease obligation and right-of-use asset on its balance sheet for any leases with an initial term of
12
months
or less.
Some real estate leases include one or more options to renew or terminate a lease. The exercise of a lease renewal or termination option is assessed at commencement of the lease and only reflected in the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option.
The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance fees, and has made a policy election to combine both fixed lease and non-lease components in total gross rent for all of its leases. E
xpense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On March 27, 2019, Realogy Group entered into an incremental assumption agreement to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement that provided for an incremental revolving facility commitment of
$
25
million
, increasing the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to
$
1,425
million
.
The Senior Secured Credit Agreement provides for:
(a)
the Term Loan B issued in the original aggregate principal amount of
$
1,080
million
with a maturity date of February 2025. The Term Loan B has quarterly amortization payments totaling
1
%
per annum of the initial aggregate principal amount. The interest rate with respect to term loans under the Term Loan B is based on, at Realogy Group's option, adjusted

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement permits the Company to obtain up to
$
500
million
of additional credit facilities on a combined basis with the Term Loan A Agreement (less any amounts previously incurred under this provision) from lenders reasonably satisfactory to the administrative agent and us, without the consent of the existing lenders under the new senior secured credit facility, plus an unlimited amount if Realogy Group's senior secured leverage ratio is less than
3.50
to
1.00
on a pro forma basis. Subject to certain restrictions, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement also permits the Company to issue senior secured or unsecured notes in lieu of any incremental facility.
The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are secured to the extent legally permissible by substantially all of the assets of Realogy Group, Realogy Intermediate and all of their domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries.
Realogy Group’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants and requires Realogy Group to maintain (so long as the Revolving Credit Facility is outstanding) a senior secured leverage ratio, not to exceed
4.75
to
1.00
. The leverage ratio is tested quarterly regardless of the amount of borrowings outstanding and letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility at the testing date. Total senior secured net debt does not include unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes as well as the securitization obligations. At
June 30, 2019
, Realogy Group was in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant.
Term Loan A Facility
In February 2018, Realogy Group entered into a second amendment to the Term Loan A Agreement. Under the amendment, the Company aggregated the existing

Consistent with the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Term Loan A Agreement permits the Company to obtain up to
$
500
million
of additional credit facilities on a combined basis with the Senior Secured Credit Agreement (less any amounts previously incurred under this provision) from lenders reasonably satisfactory to the administrative agent and the Company, without the consent of the existing lenders under the Term Loan A, plus an unlimited amount if the Company's senior secured leverage ratio is less than
3.50
to
1.00
on a pro forma basis. Subject to certain restrictions, the Term Loan A Facility also permits the Company to issue senior secured or unsecured notes in lieu of any incremental facility. The Term Loan A Agreement contains negative covenants consistent with those included in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement.
Unsecured Notes
In February 2019, the Company used borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand to fund the redemption of all of its outstanding
$
450
million
4.50
%
Senior Notes. In March 2019, the Company issued $550 million of
9.375
%
Senior Notes due in April 2027. The Company used
$
540
million
of the net proceeds to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.
The
5.25
%
Senior Notes,
4.875
%
Senior Notes and the
9.375
%
Senior Notes (collectively the "Unsecured Notes") are unsecured senior obligations of Realogy Group that mature on December 1, 2021, June 1, 2023 and April 1, 2027, respectively. Interest on the Unsecured Notes is payable each year semiannually on June 1 and December 1 for both the
5.25
%
Senior Notes and
4.875
%
Senior Notes, and April 1 and October 1 for the
9.375
%
Senior Notes.
The Unsecured Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each domestic subsidiary of Realogy Group that is a guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Realogy Group's outstanding debt securities and are guaranteed by Realogy Holdings on an unsecured senior subordinated basis.
The indentures governing the Unsecured Notes contain various negative covenants that limit Realogy Group's and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to take certain actions, which covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants include limitations on Realogy Group's and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to (a) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock, (b) pay dividends or make distributions to their stockholders, (c) repurchase or redeem capital stock, (d) make investments or acquisitions, (e) incur restrictions on the ability of certain of their subsidiaries to pay dividends or to make other payments to Realogy Group, (f) enter into transactions with affiliates, (g) create liens, (h) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of their assets, (i) transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries and (j) prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is subordinated in right of payment to the Unsecured Notes.
The covenants in the indenture governing the
9.375
%
Senior Notes are substantially similar to the covenants in the indentures governing the other Unsecured Notes, with certain exceptions, including several changes relating to Realogy Group’s ability to make restricted payments, and, in particular, its ability to repurchase shares and pay dividends. Specifically, (a) the cumulative credit basket for restricted payments (i) was reset to
zero
and builds from January 1, 2019, (ii) builds at
25
%
of Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the indenture governing the
9.375
%
Senior Notes) when the consolidated leverage ratio (as defined below) is equal to or greater than
4.0
to
1.0
(and
50
%
of Consolidated Net Income when it is less than
4.0
to
1.0
) and, consistent with the indentures governing the other Unsecured Notes, is reduced by
100
%
of the deficit when Consolidated Net Income is a deficit and (iii) may not be used when the consolidated leverage ratio is equal to or greater than
4.0
to
1.0
; (b) the
$
100
million
general restricted payment basket may be used only for Restricted Investments (as defined in the indenture governing the
9.375
%
Senior Notes); (c) the indenture governing the
9.375
%
Senior Notes requires the consolidated leverage ratio to be less than

Senior Notes contains a new restricted payment basket that may be used for up to

The consolidated leverage ratio is measured by dividing Realogy Group's total net debt by the trailing four quarters EBITDA. EBITDA, as defined in the indenture governing the
9.375
%
Senior Notes, is substantially similar to EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Net debt under the indenture is Realogy Group's total indebtedness (excluding securitizations) less (i) its cash and cash equivalents in excess of restricted cash and (ii) a

million
seasonality adjustment permitted when measuring the ratio on a date during the period of March 1 to May 31.

Other Debt Facilities
The Company has an Unsecured Letter of Credit Facility to provide for the issuance of letters of credit required for general corporate purposes by the Company which expires in December 2019. At
June 30, 2019
, the capacity of the facility was
$
66
million
, with
$
58
million
being utilized and at
December 31, 2018
, the capacity was
$
66
million
, with
$
63
million
being utilized.
The fixed pricing to the Company is based on a spread above the credit default swap rate for senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company over the applicable letter of credit period. Realogy Group's obligations under the Unsecured Letter of Credit Facility are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each domestic subsidiary of Realogy Group that is a guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Realogy Group's outstanding debt securities.
Securitization Obligations
Realogy Group has secured obligations through Apple Ridge Funding LLC under a securitization program which expires in
June 2020
. As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had
$
250
million
of borrowing capacity under the Apple Ridge Funding LLC securitization program with
$
193
million
being utilized.
Realogy Group, through a special purpose entity known as Cartus Financing Limited, has agreements providing for a
£
10
million
revolving loan facility and a
£
5
million
working capital facility which expires in
August 2019
. As of
June 30, 2019
, there were
$
11
million
of outstanding borrowings under the facilities. These Cartus Financing Limited facilities are secured by the relocation assets of a U.K. government contract in this special purpose entity and are therefore classified as permitted securitization financings as defined in Realogy Group’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Unsecured Notes.
The Apple Ridge entities and the Cartus Financing Limited entity are consolidated special purpose entities that are utilized to securitize relocation receivables and related assets. These assets are generated from advancing funds on behalf of clients of Realogy Group’s relocation business in order to facilitate the relocation of their employees. Assets of these special purpose entities are not available to pay Realogy Group’s general obligations. Under the Apple Ridge program, provided no termination or amortization event has occurred, any new receivables generated under the designated relocation management agreements are sold into the securitization program and as new eligible relocation management agreements are entered into, the new agreements are designated to the program. The Apple Ridge program has restrictive covenants and trigger events, including performance triggers linked to the age and quality of the underlying assets, foreign obligor limits, multicurrency limits, financial reporting requirements, restrictions on mergers and change of control, any uncured breach of Realogy Group’s senior secured leverage ratio under Realogy Group’s Senior Secured Credit Facility, and cross-defaults to Realogy Group’s material indebtedness. The occurrence of a trigger event under the Apple Ridge securitization facility could restrict our ability to access new or existing funding under this facility or result in termination of the facility, either of which would adversely affect the operation of our relocation business.
Certain of the funds that Realogy Group receives from relocation receivables and related assets must be utilized to repay securitization obligations. These obligations were collateralized by
$
292
million
and
$
238
million
of underlying relocation receivables and other related relocation assets at
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. Substantially all relocation related assets are realized in less than twelve months from the transaction date. Accordingly, all of Realogy Group’s securitization obligations are classified as current in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Interest incurred in connection with borrowings under these facilities amounted to
$
2
million
for both the
three months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
and
$
4
million
for both the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
. This interest is recorded within net revenues in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as related borrowings are utilized to fund Realogy Group's relocation business where interest is generally earned on such assets. These securitization obligations represent floating rate debt for which the average weighted interest rate was
4.4
%
and
3.7
%
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
, respectively.

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for Realogy Group
The Company has not included a statement of changes in equity for Realogy Group as the operating results of Group are consistent with the operating results of Realogy Holdings as all revenue and expenses of Realogy Group flow up to Realogy Holdings and there are no incremental activities at the Realogy Holdings level. The only difference between Realogy Group and Realogy Holdings is that the
$
1
million
in par value of common stock in Realogy Holdings' equity is included in additional paid in capital in Realogy Group's equity.
Stock Repurchases
The Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under authorizations from its Board of Directors. Shares repurchased are retired and not displayed separately as treasury stock on the consolidated financial statements. The par value of the shares repurchased and retired is deducted from common stock and the excess of the purchase price over par value is first charged against any available additional paid-in capital with the balance charged to retained earnings. Direct costs incurred to repurchase the shares are included in the total cost of the shares.
The Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to
$
275
million
,
$
300
million
,
$
350
million
and
$
175
million
of the Company's common stock in February 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.
In the first quarter of
2019
, the Company repurchased and retired
1.2
million
shares of common stock for
$
20
million
at a weighted average market price of
$
17.21
per share. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the share repurchase programs during the second quarter of 2019. As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company had repurchased and retired
35.5
million
shares of common stock for an aggregate of
$
896
million
at a total weighted average market price of
$
25.22
per share. As of
June 30, 2019
,
$
204
million
remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase programs.
The restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes restrict the Company's ability to repurchase shares. See "Note 5. Short and Long-Term Debt
—
Unsecured Notes."

Table of Contents
Stock-Based Compensation
During the
first quarter of
2019
, the Company granted
0.9
million
shares of non-qualified stock options with a weighted average exercise price of
$
13.45
, restricted stock units related to
2.5
million
shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of
$

.
Dividend Policy
In August 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend policy of
$
0.09
per share on its common stock. The Board declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of
$
0.09
per share on the Company’s common stock during both the first and second quarters of
2019
.
The declaration and payment of any future dividend will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, contractual restrictions, including restrictive covenants contained in the Company’s credit agreements, and the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding debt securities, capital requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. The restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the
9.375
%
Senior Notes restrict the Company's ability to declare dividends in excess of
$
45
million
per year. See Note 5. "Short and Long-Term Debt
—
Unsecured Notes" for additional information.
Pursuant to the Company’s policy, dividends payable in cash are treated as a reduction of additional paid-in capital since the Company is currently in an accumulated deficit position.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share attributable to Realogy Holdings
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on net income (loss) attributable to Realogy Holdings stockholders divided by the basic weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share is computed consistently with the basic computation while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares and common share equivalents that were outstanding during the period. Realogy Holdings uses the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilutive effect of unvested stock awards and unexercised options.

Worker Classification Litigation
Whitlach v. Premier Valley, Inc. d/b/a Century 21 M&M and Century 21 Real Estate LLC
(Superior Court of California, Alameda County). This was filed as a putative class action complaint on December 20, 2018 by plaintiff James Whitlach against Premier Valley Inc., a Century 21 Real Estate independently-owned franchisee doing business as Century 21 M&M (“Century 21 M&M”). The complaint also names Century 21 Real Estate LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the franchisor of Century 21 Real Estate (“Century 21”), as an alleged joint employer of the franchisee’s independent sales agents and seeks to certify a class that could potentially include all agents of both Century 21 M&M and Century 21 in California. The plaintiff alleges that Century 21 M&M misclassified all of its independent real estate agents, salespeople, sales professionals, broker associates and other similar positions as independent contractors, failed to pay minimum wages, failed to provide meal and rest breaks, failed to pay timely wages, failed to keep proper records, failed to provide appropriate wage statements, made unlawful deductions from wages, and failed to reimburse plaintiff and the putative class for business related expenses, resulting in violations of the California Labor Code. The complaint also asserts an unfair business practice claim based on the alleged violations described above.
On February 15, 2019, the plaintiff amended his complaint to assert claims pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). The PAGA claims included in the amended complaint are substantively similar to those asserted in the original complaint. Under California law, PAGA claims are generally not subject to arbitration and may result in exposure in the form of additional penalties. In April 2019, the defendants filed motions to compel arbitration of the non-PAGA claims, to stay the PAGA claims pending resolution of the arbitrable claims and to change venue. On June 5, 2019, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s non-PAGA claims without prejudice and withdrew the defendants’ motion to compel arbitration by stipulation of the parties. The plaintiff continues to pursue his PAGA claims as a representative of purported "aggrieved employees" as defined by PAGA. The plaintiff currently seeks, as the representative of all purported aggrieved employees, all non-individualized relief available to the purported aggrieved employees under PAGA, as well as attorneys’ fees.
Fenley v. Realogy Franchise Group LLC, Sotheby’s International Realty, Inc., Wish Properties, Inc. and DOES 1-100
(Superior Court of California, Kern County). This is a putative class action complaint filed on April 25, 2019 by plaintiff Elizabeth Fenley against Wish Properties, Inc, a Sotheby’s International Realty independently-owned franchisee doing business as Wish Sotheby’s International Realty (“Wish SIR”). The complaint also names Realogy Franchise Group LLC and Sotheby’s International Realty, Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, as alleged joint employers of the franchisee’s independent sales agents and seeks to certify a class that could potentially include all agents in California affiliated with any Realogy Franchise Group brand. The plaintiff alleges that all defendants are jointly responsible for misclassifying Wish SIR’s agents as independent contractors and failed to reimburse for business expenses, provide accurate wage statements and pay wages timely, all in violation of the California Labor Code. The complaint also asserts an unfair business practice claim based on the violations previously described. The plaintiff seeks reimbursement of allegedly necessary expenses, liquidated damages, waiting time penalties, civil penalties, pre- and post-judgment interest, restitution, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On July 26, 2019, Wish SIR filed a motion to compel arbitration and stay all legal proceedings pending conclusion of the arbitration. On the same day, Realogy Franchise Group LLC and Sotheby’s International Realty, Inc. filed their own motion to compel arbitration and a joinder in Wish SIR’s motion.
These cases raise various previously unlitigated claims and the PAGA claims in the
Whitlach
matter add additional litigation, financial and operating uncertainties. There are similar classification cases pending against several other brokerages in the state of California and developments in one or more of those cases could impact progress in these cases.

Real Estate Industry Litigation
Moehrl, Cole, Darnell, Nager, Ramey, Sawbill Strategic, Inc., Umpa and Ruh v. The National Association of Realtors, Realogy Holdings Corp., Homeservices of America, Inc., BHH Affiliates, LLC, The Long & Foster Companies, Inc., RE/MAX LLC, and Keller Williams Realty, Inc.
(U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). This amended putative class action complaint (the "amended
Moehler
complaint"), filed on June 14, 2019, (i) consolidates the
Moehrl
and
Sawbill
litigation reported in our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2019, (ii) adds certain plaintiffs and defendants, and (iii) serves as a response to the separate motions to dismiss filed on May 17, 2019 in the prior
Moehrl
litigation by each of NAR and the Company (along with the other defendants named in the prior
Moehrl
complaint).
In the amended
Moehrl
complaint, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants engaged in a continuing contract, combination, or conspiracy to unreasonably restrain trade and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act because defendant NAR allegedly established mandatory anticompetitive policies for the multiple listing services and its member brokers that require brokers to make an offer of buyer broker compensation when listing a property. The plaintiffs further allege that the defendant franchisors conspired with NAR by requiring their respective franchisees to comply with NAR’s policies and Code of Ethics. The plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction enjoining the defendants from requiring home sellers to pay buyer broker commissions or to otherwise restrict competition among buyer brokers, an award of damages and/or restitution, attorneys fees and costs of suit. Plaintiffs' counsel has filed a motion to appoint lead counsel in the case, which has yet to be decided by the court.
Sitzer and Winger v. The National Association of Realtors, Realogy Holdings Corp., Homeservices of America, Inc., RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., and Keller Williams Realty, Inc.
(U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri). This is a putative class action complaint filed on April 29, 2019 and amended on June 21, 2019 by plaintiffs Joshua Sitzer and Amy Winger against NAR, the Company, Homeservices of America, Inc., RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. The complaint contains substantially similar allegations, and seeks the same relief under the Sherman Act, as the
Sawbill
and
Moehrl
litigations. The
Sitzer
litigation is limited both in allegations and relief sought to the State of Missouri, and includes an additional cause of action for alleged violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, or MMPA. On July 10, 2019, defendants filed motions to transfer the
Sitzer
matter to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On August 5, 2019, NAR and the Company (together with the other defendants named in the
Sitzer
complaint) each filed separate motions to dismiss this litigation.
Securities Litigation
Tanaskovic v. Realogy Holdings Corp., et. al.
(U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey). This is a putative class action complaint filed on July 11, 2019 by plaintiff Sasa Tanaskovic against the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers. The lawsuit alleges violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act in connection with allegedly false and misleading statements made by the Company about its business, operations, and prospects. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, compensatory damages for purchasers of the Company’s common stock between February 24, 2017 through May 22, 2019, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs.
The Company disputes the allegations in each of the captioned matters described above and will vigorously defend these actions. Given the early stages of each of these cases, we cannot estimate a range of reasonably possible losses for this litigation.
The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for legal matters as appropriate. The Company records litigation accruals for legal matters which are both probable and estimable.
Litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable resolutions could occur. In addition, class action lawsuits can be costly to defend and, depending on the class size and claims, could be costly to settle. As such, the Company could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims with liability that are materially in excess of amounts accrued and these settlements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular period.

Table of Contents
(Supreme Court New York, New York County). On July 10, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, filed a complaint against Urban Compass, Inc. and Compass, Inc. alleging misappropriation of trade secrets; tortious interference with contract; intentional and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage; unfair competition under New York common law; violations of the California Unfair Competition Law, Business and Professional Code Section 17200 et. seq. (unfair competition); violations of New York General Business Law Section 349 (deceptive acts or practices); violations of New York General Business Law Sections 350 and 350-a (false advertising); conversion; and aiding and abetting breach of contract. The Company seeks, among other things, actual and compensatory damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs.
* * *
The Company is involved in certain other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. Such litigation, regulatory actions and other proceedings may include, but are not limited to, actions relating to intellectual property, commercial arrangements, franchising arrangements, the fiduciary duties of brokers, standard brokerage disputes like the failure to disclose accurate square footage or hidden defects in the property such as mold, vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of our control, including franchisees and independent sales agents, antitrust and anti-competition claims, general fraud claims (including wire fraud associated with third-party diversion of funds from a brokerage transaction), employment law claims, including claims challenging the classification of our sales agents as independent contractors, wage and hour classification claims and claims alleging violations of RESPA, state consumer fraud statutes or federal consumer protection statutes. While the results of such claims and legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe based on information currently available to us that the final outcome of current proceedings against the Company will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, with the increasing requirements resulting from government laws and regulations concerning data breach notifications and data privacy and protection obligations, claims associated with these laws may become more common. While most litigation involves claims against the Company, from time to time the Company commences litigation, including litigation against former employees, franchisees and competitors when it alleges that such persons or entities have breached agreements or engaged in other wrongful conduct.

Cendant Corporate Liabilities and Guarantees to Cendant and Affiliates
Realogy Group (then Realogy Corporation) separated from Cendant on July 31, 2006 (the "Separation"), pursuant to a plan by Cendant (now known as Avis Budget Group, Inc.) to separate into
four
independent companies—
one
for each of Cendant's business units—real estate services (Realogy Group), travel distribution services ("Travelport"), hospitality services, including timeshare resorts ("Wyndham Worldwide"), and vehicle rental ("Avis Budget Group"). Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of July 27, 2006 among Cendant, Realogy Group, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"), each of Realogy Group, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport have assumed certain contingent and other corporate liabilities (and related costs and expenses), which are primarily related to each of their respective businesses. In addition, Realogy Group has assumed
62.5
%
and Wyndham Worldwide has assumed
37.5
%
of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities (and related costs and expenses) of Cendant.
The due to former parent balance was
$
18
million
at
June 30, 2019
and
$21 million
at
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The due to former parent balance was comprised of the Company’s portion of the following: (i) Cendant’s remaining contingent tax liabilities, (ii) accrued interest on contingent tax liabilities, (iii) potential liabilities related to Cendant’s terminated or divested businesses, and (iv) potential liabilities related to the residual portion of accruals for Cendant operations.
Tax Matters
The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and several foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes and recording related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company is regularly under audit by tax authorities whereby the outcome of the audits is uncertain. The Company believes there is appropriate support for positions taken on its tax returns. The liabilities that have been recorded represent the best estimates of the probable loss on certain positions and are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. However, the outcomes of tax audits are inherently uncertain.

Escrow and Trust Deposits
As a service to its customers, the Company administers escrow and trust deposits which represent undisbursed amounts received for the settlement of real estate transactions. Deposits at FDIC-insured institutions are insured up to
$
250
thousand
. These escrow and trust deposits totaled
$
685
million
at
June 30, 2019
and
$
426
million
at
December 31, 2018
. These escrow and trust deposits are not assets of the Company and, therefore, are excluded from the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the Company remains contingently liable for the disposition of these deposits.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s operating segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of services provided by its operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenue and Operating EBITDA.
Operating EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, asset impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of investments or other assets.
The Company’s presentation of Operating EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere herein and with our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the
2018
Form 10-K. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts in tables are in millions. Neither Realogy Holdings, the indirect parent of Realogy Group, nor Realogy Intermediate, the direct parent company of Realogy Group, conducts any operations other than with respect to its respective direct or indirect ownership of Realogy Group. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial positions, results of operations and cash flows of Realogy Holdings, Realogy Intermediate and Realogy Group are the same. This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, contains forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements" in this report and "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in our

CURRENT BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY TRENDS
According to the National Association of Realtors ("NAR"), during the first half of
2019
, homesale transaction volume
decrease
d
1%
due to a
4%
decrease
in the number of homesale transactions, partially offset by a
3%
increase
in the average homesale price.
During 2018, the housing market faced challenging conditions that intensified in severity during the last four months of the year, including reduced affordability, constrained inventory, higher average homesale prices and mortgage rate volatility, as well as a number of other factors, such as personal income tax reform. We are unable to extrapolate the relative impact that each of these individual factors may have had on regional and local housing markets. While we believe that the difficult market environment in late 2018 continued to negatively impact the first half of 2019, we believe that incremental improvement in certain industry fundamentals, in particular declines in average mortgage rates and, to a lesser extent, increases in affordability together with a decelerated rise in home price, contributed to marginal improvement in recent market conditions. We believe this is reflected in the
flat
homesale transaction volume in the second quarter of 2019 reported by NAR versus the
4%
decline in homesale transaction volume in the first quarter of 2019 reported by NAR.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, RFG and NRT homesale transaction volume on a combined basis
decrease
d
3%
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, which represents a lower rate of decline when compared to the first quarter of 2019, where RFG and NRT homesale transaction volume on a combined basis declined
9%
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.
RFG and NRT homesale transaction volume on a combined basis
decrease
d
5%
during the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
compared to the
six months ended
June 30, 2018
. NRT's transaction volume
decrease
d
7%
, as a result of a
7%
decrease
in existing homesale transactions and a
1%
decrease
in the average homesale price. RFG's transaction volume
decrease
d
4%
, as a result of a
6%
decrease
in existing homesale transactions, partially offset by a
2%
increase
in average homesale price.
We believe that while the industry fundamentals in late 2018 described above drove a significant portion of our decline in homesale transaction volume in the first half of 2019, our results for the second quarter of 2019 reflect some of the modest improvements in market conditions also described above. However, during both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, we were also negatively impacted by the intense competitive environment as well as our geographic concentration.
Specifically, the intensity of competition for the affiliation of independent sales agents, which has increased considerably starting in late 2018 (including in the high-end real estate market), negatively impacted recruitment and retention efforts at both company owned and franchised brokerages. This intense competition drove a loss in market share for the first half of 2019 compared to full-year 2018, which contributed to the decline in homesale transaction volume at both NRT and RFG and could continue to adversely impact results. We believe that certain owned-brokerage competitors have investors that appear to be supportive of a model that pursues increases in market share over profitability, which not only exacerbates competition for independent sales agents, but places additional pressure on the share of commission income received by the agent.
34
Table of Contents
As of their most recent release on
July 30, 2019
, NAR is forecasting existing homesale transaction volume to
increase
4%
for the full year
2019
compared to 2018.
NAR's
quarterly year-over-year forecasts for homesale transaction volume for 2019 compared to 2018 are as follows:
_______________
(a)
Q1 and Q2 homesale transaction volume is calculated using existing homesale transactions and average price as of the most recent NAR press release on
July 23, 2019
.
(b)
Forecasted homesale transaction volume is calculated using seasonally adjusted homesale transactions and median price as of the most recent NAR forecast release on
July 30, 2019
.
Inventory
. Although inventory levels have shown some signs of improvement during 2019, low housing inventory levels continue to be an industry-wide concern, in particular in certain highly sought-after geographies and at lower price points. According to NAR, the inventory of existing homes for sale in the U.S. increased from
1.53 million
as of
December 2018
to
1.93 million
as of
June 2019
which is consistent with June 2018. As a result, inventory has increased from
3.7
months of supply in
December 2018
to
4.4
months as of
June 2019
. However, these levels continue to be significantly below the 10-year average of
5.8
months, the 15-year average of
6.1
months and the 25-year average of
5.8
months.
Mortgage Rates
. According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates on commitments for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate first mortgage averaged
4.00%
for the second quarter of
2019
compared to
4.54%
for the second quarter of
2018
. While mortgage rates reached as high as
4.87%
in November 2018, rates have recently moderated, and on June 30, 2019 were
3.80%
, according to Freddie Mac. Increases in mortgage rates adversely impact housing affordability and we have been and could continue to be negatively impacted by a rising interest rate environment. For example, a rise in mortgage rates could result in decreased homesale transaction volume if potential home sellers choose to stay with their lower mortgage rate rather than sell their home and pay a higher mortgage rate with the purchase of another home or, similarly, if potential home buyers choose to rent rather than pay higher mortgage rates.
Affordability
. The fixed housing affordability index, as reported by NAR, increased from
142
for
May 2018
to
150
for
May 2019
. As noted above, we believe that a decelerated rise in home prices contributed to the increase in affordability. A housing affordability index above 100 signifies that a family earning the median income has sufficient income to purchase a median-priced home, assuming a 20 percent down payment and ability to qualify for a mortgage.
Recruitment and Retention of Independent Sales Agents; Commission Income.
Recruitment and retention of independent sales agents and independent sales agent teams are critical to the business and financial results of a brokerage, including our company owned brokerages and those operated by our affiliated franchisees. Competition for independent sales agents in our industry, including within our franchise system, is high, in particular with respect to more productive sales agents. We believe that a variety of factors in recent years have negatively impacted the recruitment and retention of independent sales agents in the industry and has increasingly impacted the recruitment and retention of top producing agents. Such factors include increasing competition (which has particularly intensified in the last several quarters), increasing levels of commissions paid to agents possibly including up front payments and equity, changes in the spending
35
Table of Contents
patterns of independent sales agents (as more independent sales agents purchase services from third-parties outside of their affiliated broker) and the growth in independent sales agent teams. The continued competition for productive agents could continue to have a negative impact on our homesale transaction volume and market share and could continue to put upward pressure on the average share of commissions earned by independent sales agents.
NRT and RFG have launched strategic initiatives focused on addressing current market dynamics by expanding our base of affiliated independent sales agents and affiliated franchisees, providing them with compelling data and technology products and services, generating high quality leads, and enhancing the consumer experience to move affiliated agents closer to the customer.
For example, in July 2019, we announced the launch of “TurnKey” in collaboration with Amazon in 15 U.S. cities. Under the TurnKey program, we (via Cartus) will match highly ranked independent sales agents affiliated with certain Realogy brands to participating homebuyers who will receive complementary Amazon services and products paid by Realogy.
NRT continues to expand the use of commission plans other than the traditional graduated commission model, including plans that charge agents for certain activities. Separately, we recently introduced a collection of marketing tools aimed at increasing independent agent success, including Listing Concierge—a full service solution for the design, creation and distribution of automated customized property listings—as well as products designed to facilitate agent branding and customer prospecting. We intend to further advance these marketing initiatives throughout 2019.
In late 2018, in collaboration with Home Partners of America, we also launched the cataLIST Program—a quick-cash sale program that keeps the independent sales agent at the center of the transaction. The program is currently available in select markets (Atlanta, Greater Dallas and Tampa) and expansion to additional markets is planned in 2019, as well as the launch of complementary build-on offerings.
In addition, RFG is implementing strategic initiatives intended to add new franchisees and widen the base of independent sales agents, including through the expansion of RFG’s historical scope of potential franchisee candidates as well as through a new pricing model structure for one brand and new franchise brands.
Facility and Operational Efficiencies Program.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we commenced the implementation of a plan to accelerate our office consolidation to reduce our storefront costs, as well as institute other operational efficiencies to drive profitability. In addition, beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we commenced a plan to transform and centralize certain aspects of our operational support and drive changes in how we serve our affiliated independent sales agents from a marketing and technology perspective to help such agents be more productive and enable them to make their businesses more profitable.
Total restructuring costs of approximately
$54 million
are currently anticipated to be incurred through the end of 2019. As of
June 30, 2019
, cost savings related to these restructuring activities were estimated to be approximately
$50 million
on an annual run rate basis, with approximately $30 million of those cost savings expected to be realized in 2019. In addition to the $30 million of cost savings from restructuring activities, there are approximately $40 million of additional cost savings initiatives being implemented and expected to be realized in 2019. These costs savings are designed to partially offset inflation and other costs.
The following table reflects the total amount of restructuring costs for the Company's Facility and Operational Efficiencies program by reportable segment:

We believe that long-term demand for housing and the growth of our industry are primarily driven by the affordability of housing, the economic health of the U.S. economy, demographic trends such as generational transitions, increases in U.S. household formation, mortgage rate levels and mortgage availability, certain tax benefits, job growth, increases in renters that qualify as homebuyers, the inherent attributes of homeownership versus renting and the influence of local housing dynamics of inventory supply versus demand. At this time, certain of these factors are trending favorably, such as mortgage rate levels, household formation and job growth. Factors that may negatively affect growth in the housing industry include:
•
continued insufficient inventory levels or stagnant and/or declining home prices;
•
a reduction in the affordability of homes;
•
higher mortgage rates due to increases in long-term interest rates and increasing down payment requirements as well as reduced availability of mortgage financing;
•
certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act that directly impact traditional incentives associated with home ownership and may reduce the financial distinction between renting and owning a home, including those that reduce the amount that certain taxpayers would be allowed to deduct for home mortgage interest or state, local and property taxes;
•
decelerated or lack of building of new housing for homesales, increased building of new rental properties, or irregular timing of new development closings leading to lower unit sales at NRT, which has relationships with developers, primarily in major cities, to provide marketing and brokerage services in new developments;
•
homeowners retaining their homes for longer periods of time;
•
changing attitudes towards home ownership, particularly among potential first-time homebuyers who may delay, or decide not to, purchase a home, as well as changing preferences to rent versus purchase a home;
•
decreasing consumer confidence in the economy and/or the residential real estate market;
•
an increase in potential homebuyers with low credit ratings or inability to afford down payments;
•
the impact of limited or negative equity of current homeowners, as well as the lack of available inventory may limit their proclivity to purchase an alternative home;
•
economic stagnation or contraction in the U.S. economy;
•
weak credit markets and/or instability of financial institutions;
•
increased levels of unemployment and/or stagnant wage growth in the U.S.;
•
a decline in home ownership levels in the U.S.;
•
other legislative or regulatory reforms, including but not limited to reform that adversely impacts the financing of the U.S. housing market, changes relating to RESPA, potential reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, immigration reform, and further potential tax code reform;
•
renewed high levels of foreclosure activity;
•
natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides and other events that disrupt local or regional real estate markets; and
•
geopolitical and economic instability.
Many of the trends impacting our businesses that derive revenue from homesales also impact Cartus, which is the leading provider of global relocation services. In addition to general residential housing trends, key drivers of Cartus are global corporate spending on relocation services, which continue to shift to lower cost relocation benefits as corporate clients engage in cost reduction initiatives and/or restructuring programs as well as changes in employment relocation trends. Cartus is subject to a competitive pricing environment and lower average revenue per relocation as a result of a shift in the mix of services and number of services being delivered per move. These factors have and may continue to put pressure on the growth and profitability of this segment.
* * *
While data provided by NAR and Fannie Mae are two indicators of the direction of the residential housing market, we believe that homesale statistics will continue to vary between us and NAR and Fannie Mae because:
•
they use survey data and estimates in their historical reports and forecasting models, which are subject to sampling error, whereas we use data based on actual reported results;
39
Table of Contents
•
there are geographical differences and concentrations in the markets in which we operate versus the national market. For example, many of our company owned brokerage offices are geographically located where average homesale prices are generally higher than the national average and therefore NAR survey data will not correlate with NRT's results;
•
comparability is also diminished due to NAR’s utilization of seasonally adjusted annualized rates whereas we report actual period-over-period changes and their use of median price for their forecasts compared to our average price;
•
NAR historical data is subject to periodic review and revision and these revisions have been material in the past, and could be material in the future; and
•
NAR and Fannie Mae generally update their forecasts on a monthly basis and a subsequent forecast may change materially from a forecast that was previously issued.
While we believe that the industry data presented herein is derived from the most widely recognized sources for reporting U.S. residential housing market statistical data, we do not endorse or suggest reliance on this data alone. We also note that forecasts are inherently uncertain or speculative in nature and actual results for any period could materially differ.
KEY DRIVERS OF OUR BUSINESSES
Within RFG and NRT, we measure operating performance using the following key operating metrics: (i) closed homesale sides, which represents either the "buy" side or the "sell" side of a homesale transaction, (ii) average homesale price, which represents the average selling price of closed homesale transactions, and (iii) average homesale broker commission rate, which represents the average commission rate earned on either the "buy" side or "sell" side of a homesale transaction.
For RFG, we also use net royalty per side, which represents the royalty payment to RFG for each homesale transaction side taking into account royalty rates, average broker commission rates, volume incentives achieved and other incentives. We utilize net royalty per side as it includes the impact of changes in average homesale price as well as all incentives and represents the royalty revenue impact of each incremental side.
For NRT, we also use gross commission income per side, which represents gross commission income divided by closed homesale sides. Gross commission income includes commissions earned in homesale transactions and certain other activities, primarily leasing and property management transactions. NRT, as a franchisee of RFG, pays a royalty fee of 6% per transaction to RFG from the commission earned on a real estate transaction. The remainder of gross commission income is split between the broker (NRT) and the independent sales agent.
Within Cartus, we measure operating performance using the following key operating statistics: (i) initiations, which represent the total number of new transferees and the total number of real estate closings for affinity members and (ii) referrals, which represent the number of referrals from which we earn revenue from real estate brokers.
In TRG, operating performance is evaluated using the following key metrics: (i) purchase title and closing units, which represent the number of title and closing units we process as a result of home purchases, (ii) refinance title and closing units, which represent the number of title and closing units we process as a result of homeowners refinancing their home loans, and (iii) average fee per closing unit, which represents the average fee we earn on purchase title and refinancing title sides. An increase or decrease in homesale transactions will impact the financial results of TRG; however, the financial results are not significantly impacted by a change in homesale price. Although the average mortgage rate declined in 2019 compared to 2018, we believe that increases in mortgage rates in the future will most likely have a negative impact on refinancing title and closing units.

The year-over-year decline of $5 in net royalty per side for the three-month period ended June 30, was primarily driven by three factors: (i) strategic growth initiatives, including the launch of a "capped fee model" in January 2019 for our Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate franchise business, (ii) our increased utilization of incentives to attract new franchisees, grow franchisees or extend existing franchise agreements; and (iii) an increase in the concentration of homesale transaction volume in our top 250 franchisees.
A decline in the number of homesale transactions and decline in homesale prices could adversely affect our results of operations by: (i) reducing the royalties we receive from our franchisees, (ii) reducing the commissions our company owned brokerage operations earn, (iii) reducing the demand for our title and settlement services, (iv) reducing the referral fees we earn in our relocation services business, and (v) increasing the risk of franchisee default due to lower homesale volume. Our results could also be negatively affected by a decline in commission rates charged by brokers or greater commission payments to sales agents or by an increase in volume or other incentives paid to franchisees.
Since 2014, we have experienced approximately a one basis point decline in the average homesale broker commission rate each year, which we believe has been largely attributable to increases in average homesale prices (as higher priced homes tend to have a lower broker commission) and, to a lesser extent, competitors providing fewer or similar services for a reduced fee.
Royalty fees are charged to all franchisees pursuant to the terms of the relevant franchise agreements and are included in each of the real estate brands' franchise disclosure documents. Most of our third-party franchisees are subject to a 6% royalty rate and entitled to volume incentives, although a royalty fee generally equal to 5% of franchisee commission (capped at a set amount per independent sales agent per year) is applicable to franchisees operating under the "capped fee model" that was launched for our Better Homes and Gardens
®
Real Estate franchise business in January 2019. Volume incentives are calculated as a progressive percentage of the applicable franchisee's eligible annual gross commission income and generally result in a net or effective royalty rate ranging from 6% to 3% for the franchisee. Volume incentives increase or decrease as the franchisee's gross commission income generated increases or decreases, respectively. We have the right to adjust the annual volume incentive tables on an annual basis in response to changing market conditions. In addition, some of our larger franchisees have a flat royalty rate of less than 6% and are not eligible for volume incentives.
Other incentives may also be used as consideration to attract new franchisees, grow franchisees (including through independent sales agent recruitment) or extend existing franchise agreements, although such incentives are generally not available to most franchisees, and, in contrast to volume incentives, the majority are not homesale transaction based. We face significant competition from other national real estate brokerage brand franchisors for franchisees and we expect that
41
Table of Contents
the trend of increasing incentives will continue in the future in order to attract, retain, and help grow certain franchisees. Transaction volume growth has exceeded royalty revenue growth due primarily to the growth in gross commission income generated by our top 250 franchisees and our increased use of other sales incentives, both of which directly impact royalty revenue. Over the past several years, our top 250 franchisees have grown faster than our other franchisees through organic growth and market consolidation. If the amount of gross commission income generated by our top 250 franchisees continue to grow at a quicker pace relative to our other franchisees, we would expect our royalty revenue to continue to increase, but at a slower pace than homesale transaction volume. Likewise, our royalty revenue would continue to increase, but at a slower pace than homesale transaction volume, if the gross commission income generated by all of our franchisees grows faster than the applicable annual volume incentive table increase or if we increase our use of standard volume or other incentives. However, in the event that the gross commission income generated by our franchisees increases as a result of increased transaction volume, we would expect to recognize an increase in overall royalty payments to us.
NRT has a significant concentration of real estate brokerage offices and transactions in geographic regions where home prices are at the higher end of the U.S. real estate market, particularly the east and west coasts, while RFG has franchised offices that are more widely dispersed across the United States. Accordingly, operating results and homesale statistics may differ between NRT and RFG based upon geographic presence and the corresponding homesale activity in each geographic region. In addition, the share of commissions earned by independent sales agents directly impacts the margin earned by NRT. Such share of commissions earned by independent sales agents varies by region and commission schedules are generally progressive to incentivize sales agents to achieve higher levels of production. Commission share has been and we expect will continue to be subject to upward pressure in favor of the independent sales agent for a variety of factors, including more aggressive recruitment and retention activities taken by us and our competitors as well as growth in independent sales agent teams.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Discussed below are our condensed consolidated results of operations and the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. The reportable segments presented below represent our operating segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying our reportable segments, we also consider the nature of services provided by our operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon revenue and Operating EBITDA.
Operating EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, asset impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of investments or other assets.
Our presentation of Operating EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

compared to the
second quarter
of 2018 primarily due to a
$54 million
decrease
in commission and other sales agent-related costs primarily as a result of the impact of lower homesale transaction volume at NRT. The decrease in commission and other sales agent-related costs was partially offset by:
•
a
$35 million
net increase in interest expense primarily related to our mark-to-market adjustments for our interest rate swaps that resulted in
losses
of
$24 million
during the
second quarter
of
2019
compared to no losses during the
second quarter
of
2018
, and an
$11 million
increase in interest expense primarily due to the refinancing of Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2019;
•
a
$5 million
increase
in operating and general and administrative expenses; and
•
a
$3 million
increase
in restructuring costs.
Earnings from equity investments were
$7 million
during the
second quarter
of
2019
compared to
earnings
of
$2 million
during the
second quarter
of 2018 primarily due to an improvement in earnings of Guaranteed Rate Affinity.
During the
second quarter
of 2019, we incurred
$9 million
of restructuring costs primarily related to the Company's restructuring program focused on office consolidation and instituting operational efficiencies to drive profitability. The Company expects the estimated total cost of the plan to be approximately
$54 million
. See Note 6, "Restructuring Costs", in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying its estimated annual effective tax rate against the income or loss before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items are recorded in the period in which they occur. The provision for income taxes was an expense of
$34 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
compared to an expense of
$52 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2018

to
$163 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
compared with the same period in
2018
.
Revenues
decrease
d
$3 million
primarily as a result of a
$5 million
decrease
in third-party domestic franchisee royalty revenue primarily due to a
2%
decrease
in transaction volume at RFG and a
$5 million
decrease
in intercompany royalties received from NRT, partially offset by a
$2 million
increase
in international area development fee revenue as a result of contract terminations. Registration revenue and other brand marketing fund revenue
increase
d
$4 million
and related expense
increase
d
$4 million
, primarily due to the level and timing of advertising spending and conferences during the second quarter of
2019
compared to the same period in

RFG revenue includes intercompany royalties received from NRT of
$84 million
and
$89 million
during the
second quarter
of
2019
and
2018
, respectively, which are eliminated in consolidation against the expense reflected in NRT's segment results.
The
$10 million
decrease
in Operating EBITDA was principally due to the
$10 million
decrease
in royalty revenues discussed above.

.
The revenue
decrease
of
$77 million
was primarily driven by a
5%
decrease
in homesale transaction volume at NRT. NRT saw lower transaction volume primarily driven by the competitive environment as well as our geographic concentration.
Operating EBITDA
decrease
d
$14 million
primarily due to the
$77 million
decrease
in revenues discussed above partially offset by:
•
a
$54 million
decrease
in commission expenses paid to independent sales agents from
$1,009 million
in the
second quarter
of
2018
to
$955 million
in the
second quarter
of
2019
. Commission expense decreased primarily as a result of the impact of lower homesale transaction volume as discussed above; and
•
a
$5 million
decrease
in royalties paid to RFG from
$89 million
in the second quarter of 2018 to
$84 million
in the second quarter of 2019.

primarily as a result of a
$6 million
decrease
in resale revenue due to a decline in units, partially offset by a
$2 million
increase
in underwriter revenue and a
$1 million
increase
in refinancing revenue due to an increase in activity in the refinance market.
Operating EBITDA
increase
d
$1 million
as a result of a
$5 million
increase in earnings from equity investments primarily related to Guaranteed Rate Affinity during the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 and a
$2 million
reduction in a reserve for contingent consideration. The increases were partially offset by the
$2 million
decrease
in revenues discussed above and a
$4 million
increase
in other costs primarily due to employee-related costs partially offset by a decrease in variable operating costs as a result of the decline in resale revenue.

decrease

or

for the six months ended
June 30, 2019
compared with the six months ended
June 30, 2018
primarily driven by lower homesale transaction volume at NRT.
Total expenses
decrease
d
$70 million
or
2%
compared to the first half of 2018 primarily due to:
•
a
$124 million
decrease
in commission and other sales agent-related costs primarily as a result of the impact of lower homesale transaction volume at NRT; and
•
a
$15 million
decrease
in restructuring costs.
The expense decreases were partially offset by a
$65 million
net increase in interest expense primarily due to a
$50 million
net expense related to our mark-to-market adjustments for our interest rate swaps that resulted in
losses
of
$38 million
during the first half of 2019 compared to
gains
of
$12 million
during the same period of 2018, and a
$15 million
increase in interest expense primarily due to the refinancing of Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2019.
Earnings from equity investments were
$8 million
for the six months ended
June 30, 2019
compared to
losses
of
$2 million
during the same period of
2018
primarily due to an improvement in earnings of Guaranteed Rate Affinity.
During the first half of 2019, we incurred
$21 million
of restructuring costs primarily related to the Company's restructuring program focused on office consolidation and instituting operational efficiencies to drive profitability. The Company expects the estimated total cost of the plan to be approximately
$54 million
. See Note 6, "Restructuring Costs", in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Table of Contents
The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying its estimated annual effective tax rate against the income or loss before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items are recorded in the period in which they occur. The provision for income taxes was a benefit of
$1 million
for the six months ended
June 30, 2019
compared to expense of
$33 million
for the six months ended
June 30, 2018
. The effective tax rate
for the six months ended
June 30, 2019
was primarily impacted by a discrete item related to equity awards for which the market value at vesting was lower than at the date of grant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically satisfied our liquidity needs with cash flows from operations and funds available under our Revolving Credit Facility and securitization facilities. Our primary liquidity needs have been to service our debt, finance our working capital and capital expenditures and, since August 2016, pay dividends. While we previously also acquired
47
Table of Contents
stock under share repurchase programs (from February 2016 to February 2019), we announced in March 2019 that we currently expect to prioritize investing in our business and reducing indebtedness until we are able to reduce our consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes) to below 4.00 to 1.00.
Historically, operating results and revenues for all of our businesses have been strongest in the second and third quarters of the calendar year. A significant portion of the expenses we incur in our real estate brokerage operations are related to marketing activities and commissions and therefore, are variable. However, many of our other expenses, such as interest payments, facilities costs and certain personnel-related costs, are fixed and cannot be reduced during the seasonal fluctuations in the business. Consequently, our debt balances are generally at their highest levels at or around the end of the first quarter of every year.
Our liquidity position continues to be impacted by our interest expense and would be adversely impacted by worsening of the residential real estate market or a significant increase in LIBOR or ABR.
In March 2019, the Company issued $550 million of 9.375% Senior Notes due in April 2027. We used $540 million of the net proceeds to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. In February 2019, the Company had used borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand to fund the redemption of all of its outstanding $450 million 4.50% Senior Notes. The covenants in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes are substantially similar to the covenants in the indentures governing the 5.250% Senior Notes and the 4.785% Senior Notes, with certain exceptions, including changes relating to the Company’s ability to make restricted payments, including its ability to repurchase shares and make dividend payments in excess of $45 million per calendar year until the Company's consolidated leverage ratio is below 4.00 to 1.00.
In addition, we are required to pay quarterly amortization payments for the Term Loan B and Term Loan A facilities. Remaining payments for
2019
total
$9 million
and
$5 million
for the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities, respectively and we expect payments for 2020 to total
$33 million
and
$11 million
for the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities, respectively.
Beginning in August 2016, we initiated and paid a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.09
per share and paid
$0.09
per share cash dividends in every subsequent quarter. During the first half of
2019
, we returned
$21 million
to stockholders through dividend payments.
Although we have not repurchased any shares under the share repurchase programs since February 2019, as of
June 30, 2019
, we had repurchased and retired
35.5 million
shares of common stock for an aggregate of
$896 million
under share repurchase programs at a weighted average market price of
$25.22
per share. See Part II, Item 2. ("Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds") in this Quarterly Report for additional information concerning the share repurchase programs. As noted above, we do not intend to repurchase common stock pursuant to our share repurchase programs until we reduce our consolidated leverage ratio.
The timing, frequency or amounts of any dividends in the future will be subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, contractual restrictions, including restrictive covenants contained in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, Term Loan A Agreement, and the indentures governing the Unsecured Notes, capital requirements, capital allocation strategy (including other potential uses of cash) and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.
We may also from time to time seek to repurchase our outstanding Unsecured Notes through tender offers, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
We will continue to evaluate potential refinancing and financing transactions. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives we may pursue as the choice of any alternative will depend upon numerous factors such as market conditions, our financial performance and the limitations applicable to such transactions under our existing financing agreements and the consents we may need to obtain under the relevant documents. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
If the residential real estate market or the economy as a whole does not improve or continues to weaken, our business, financial condition and liquidity may be materially adversely affected, including our ability to access capital, grow our business and return capital to stockholders.

LIBOR Transition
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the UK regulator responsible for the oversight of LIBOR, announced that it would no longer require banks to participate in the LIBOR submission process and would cease oversight over the rate after the end of 2021. Various industry groups continue to discuss replacement benchmark rates, the process for amending existing LIBOR-based contracts, and the potential economic impacts of different alternatives. For example, in the U.S., a proposed replacement benchmark rate is the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR), which is an overnight rate based on secured financing.
Covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Term Loan A Facility and Indentures
The Senior Secured Credit Agreement, Term Loan A Agreement, the Unsecured Letter of Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Unsecured Notes contain various covenants that limit (subject to certain exceptions) Realogy Group’s ability to, among other things:
•
incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;
•
pay dividends or make distributions to Realogy Group’s stockholders, including Realogy Holdings;
•
repurchase or redeem capital stock;
•
make loans, investments or acquisitions;
•
incur restrictions on the ability of certain of Realogy Group's subsidiaries to pay dividends or to make other payments to Realogy Group;
•
enter into transactions with affiliates;
•
create liens;
•
merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of Realogy Group's and its material subsidiaries' assets;
•
transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; and
•
prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated indebtedness.
As a result of the covenants to which we remain subject, we are limited in the manner in which we conduct our business and we may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Term Loan A Agreement require us to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio. We are further restricted under the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes from making restricted payments, including repurchasing shares of our common stock or issuing dividends in excess of $45 million per calendar year for so long as our consolidated leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 4.0 to 1.0 and then (unless that ratio falls below 3:00 to 1:00) only to the extent of available cumulative credit, as defined under the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes.
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio applicable to our Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility
The senior secured leverage ratio is tested quarterly and may not exceed 4.75 to 1.00. The senior secured leverage ratio is measured by dividing Realogy Group's total senior secured net debt by the trailing four quarters EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Total senior secured net debt does not include unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes, or the securitization obligations. EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, includes adjustments to EBITDA for restructuring costs, former parent legacy cost (benefit) items, net, loss on the early extinguishment of debt, non-cash charges and incremental securitization interest costs, as well as pro forma cost savings for restructuring initiatives, the pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives and the pro forma effect of acquisitions and new franchisees, in each case calculated as of the beginning of the trailing four-quarter period.
The Company was in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant at
June 30, 2019

Consolidated Leverage Ratio applicable to our 9.375% Senior Notes
The consolidated leverage ratio is measured by dividing Realogy Group's total net debt by the trailing four quarter EBITDA. EBITDA, as defined in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes, is substantially similar to EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Net debt under the indenture is Realogy Group's total indebtedness (excluding securitizations) less (i) its cash and cash equivalents in excess of
51
Table of Contents
restricted cash and (ii) a $200 million seasonality adjustment permitted when measuring the ratio on a date during the period of March 1 to May 31.
The consolidated leverage ratio under the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes for the four-quarter period ended

_______________
(a)
As set forth in the immediately preceding table, for the four-quarter period ended
June 30, 2019
, EBITDA, as defined under the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes, was the same as EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement.
See Note 5, "Short and Long-Term Debt—Senior Secured Credit Facility", "—Term Loan A Facility" and "—Unsecured Notes" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
At June 30, 2019, the amount of the Company's cumulative credit under the 9.375% Senior Notes was approximately
$23 million
. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company made approximately
$11 million
in dividend payments, which applied against the cumulative credit basket under the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes, would result in approximately
$12 million
remaining under that basket for restricted payments. This basket cannot be utilized until the Company's consolidated leverage ratio is less than 4.0 to 1.0.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC and in public disclosures of "non-GAAP financial measures," such as Operating EBITDA. These measures are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP.
Operating EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, asset impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of investments or other assets.
Operating EBITDA is our primary non-GAAP measure.
We present Operating EBITDA because we believe it is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our results of operations. Our management, including our chief operating decision maker, uses Operating EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of our business.
Operating EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We believe Operating EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net interest expense), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the amortization of intangibles, as well as other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, former parent legacy items, asset impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of investments or other assets, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance.
52
Table of Contents
We further believe that Operating EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Operating EBITDA measure when reporting their results.
Operating EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider Operating EBITDA either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•
this measure does not reflect changes in, or cash required for, our working capital needs;
•
this measure does not reflect our interest expense (except for interest related to our securitization obligations), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•
this measure does not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
•
this measure does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and this measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•
other companies may calculate this measure differently so they may not be comparable.
Contractual Obligations
See Note 5, "Short and Long-Term Debt—Senior Secured Credit Facility" and "—Unsecured Notes", to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report for a description of the Company's debt transactions which occurred during the first quarter of 2019. Other than the Company's debt transactions as described in Note 5, the Company's future contractual obligations as of
June 30, 2019
have not changed materially from the amounts reported in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact to our combined results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
, which includes a description of our critical accounting policies that involve subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results.
Impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks acquired in business combinations. Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not amortized, but are subject to impairment testing. The aggregate carrying values of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets were
$3,712 million
and
$768 million
, respectively, at
June 30, 2019
and are subject to impairment testing annually as of October 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. This testing compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying value is reduced to fair value. In testing goodwill, the fair value of our reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing long-term cash flow forecasts and our annual operating plans adjusted for terminal value assumptions.
We determine the fair value of our reporting units utilizing our best estimate of future revenues, operating expenses including commission expense, cash flows, market and general economic conditions as well as assumptions that we believe marketplace participants would utilize including discount rates, cost of capital, trademark royalty rates, and long-term growth rates. The trademark royalty rate was determined by reviewing similar trademark agreements with third parties. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, actual results may vary significantly. These impairment tests involve the use of accounting estimates and assumptions, changes in which could materially impact our financial condition or
53
Table of Contents
operating performance if actual results differ from such estimates and assumptions. To address this uncertainty, we perform a sensitivity analysis on key estimates and assumptions.
Based upon the impairment analysis performed in the fourth quarter of 2018, there was no impairment of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets for 2018. Management evaluated the effect of lowering the estimated fair value for each of the reporting units by 10% and determined that no impairment of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets would have been recognized under this evaluation.
Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of the assets, a decrease in our business results, growth rates that fall below our assumptions, divestitures, and a sustained decline in our stock price and market capitalization may have a negative effect on the fair values and key valuation assumptions, and such changes could result in changes to our estimates of our fair value and a material impairment of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. Management considered these factors and does not believe that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation", to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates primarily through our senior secured debt. At
June 30, 2019
, our primary interest rate exposure was to interest rate fluctuations, specifically
LIBOR
, due to its impact on our variable rate borrowings of our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan B under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility. Given that our borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility are generally based upon
LIBOR
, this rate will be the Company's primary market risk exposure for the foreseeable future. We do not have significant exposure to foreign currency risk nor do we expect to have significant exposure to foreign currency risk in the foreseeable future.
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical change (increase and decrease) in interest rates. We exclude the fair values of relocation receivables and advances and securitization borrowings from our sensitivity analysis because we believe the interest rate risk on these assets and liabilities is mitigated as the rate we earn on relocation receivables and advances and the rate we incur on our securitization borrowings are based on similar variable indices.
At
June 30, 2019
, we had variable interest rate long-term debt outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility of
$2,121 million
, which excludes
$204 million
of securitization obligations. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding amounts under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility at
June 30, 2019
was
4.65%
. The interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B is based on adjusted
LIBOR
plus
2.25%
(with a
LIBOR
floor of
0.75%
). The interest rates with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility and term loans under the Term Loan A Facility are based on adjusted
LIBOR
plus an additional margin subject to adjustment based on the current senior secured leverage ratio. Based on the
June 30, 2019
senior secured leverage ratio, the
LIBOR
margin was
2.25%
. At
June 30, 2019
, the one-month
LIBOR
rate was
2.40%
; therefore, we have estimated that a 0.25% increase in
LIBOR
would have a
$5 million
impact on our annual interest expense.
As of
June 30, 2019
, we had interest rate swaps with a notional value of
$1,600 million
to manage a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates associated with our
$2,121 million
of variable rate borrowings. Our interest rate swaps were as follows:
Notional Value (in millions)
Commencement Date
Expiration Date
$600
August 2015
August 2020
$450
November 2017
November 2022
$400
August 2020
August 2025
$150
November 2022
November 2027
The swaps help protect our outstanding variable rate borrowings from future interest rate volatility. The fixed interest rates on the swaps range from
2.07%
to
3.11%
. The Company had a liability of
$48 million
for the fair value of the interest
54
Table of Contents
rate swaps at
June 30, 2019
. The fair value of these interest rate swaps is subject to movements in
LIBOR
and will fluctuate in future periods. We have estimated that a 0.25% increase in the
LIBOR
yield curve would increase the fair value of our interest rate swaps by
$12 million
and would decrease interest expense. While these results may be used as a benchmark, they should not be viewed as a forecast of future results.

Other Financial Information
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of
June 30, 2019
and for the
three-month
periods ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
have been reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. Their reports, dated
August 8, 2019
, are included on pages 3 and 4. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP state that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
See Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies—Litigation", to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the Company's legal proceedings
.
The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for legal matters as appropriate. The Company records litigation accruals for legal matters which are both probable and estimable.
Litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable resolutions could occur and even cases brought by us can involve counterclaims asserted against us. In addition, class action lawsuits or regulatory proceedings challenging practices that have broad impact can be costly to defend and, depending on the class size and claims, could be costly to settle. As such, the Company could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims with liability that are materially in excess of amounts accrued and these settlements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular period.
* * *
Litigation, investigations and claims against other participants in the residential real estate industry may impact the Company and its affiliated franchisees when the rulings or settlements in those cases cover practices common to the broader industry. Examples may include claims associated with RESPA compliance, broker fiduciary duties, multiple listing service practices and sales agent classification. The Company also may be impacted by litigation and other claims against companies in other industries. Changes in current legislation, regulations or interpretations that are applicable to the residential real estate service industry may also impact the Company.
For example, there is active worker classification litigation in numerous jurisdictions against a variety of industries—now including residential real estate brokerages in multiple states, including California and New Jersey—where the plaintiffs seek to reclassify independent contractors as employees or to challenge the use of federal and state minimum wage and overtime exemptions. This type of litigation has been particularly prolific in California since the California Supreme Court adopted a worker classification test in the second quarter of 2018 that is significantly more restrictive than those historically used in wage and hour cases. The California State Legislature is currently considering legislation that, if adopted, would codify the judicial test adopted by the California Supreme Court into statutory law, but would also codify alternate test provisions applicable to certain classes of workers (including real estate professionals) that, if applicable, may be less restrictive than the judicial test. There can be no assurances as to whether the California State Legislature will ultimately adopt such legislation in the current form, or at all, or if adopted, that such legislation would include alternate test provisions for some or all independent real estate sales agents or that the Company would be able to satisfy any such alternative worker classification tests established by the California courts or legislature applicable to such independent real estate sales agents.
For a summary of certain legal proceedings initiated in California against the Company alleging worker misclassification, see Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies—Litigation", in this report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
The Company did not repurchase common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
In February 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to
$175 million
of the Company’s common stock which was incremental to the remaining capacity authorized under the February 2018 share repurchase program. Repurchases under these programs may be made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these repurchases will depend on price, market and economic conditions, legal and contractual requirements and other factors, including the restrictions contained in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes, which prohibit such repurchases until the consolidated leverage ratio falls below 4.00 to 1.00 and then only to the extent of available cumulative credit, as defined under the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes. The repurchase programs have no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of
June 30, 2019
,
$204 million
remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase programs.
