Previous wording

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which drive variations in our revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for interim periods. Seasonal fluctuations are primarily driven by a higher number of HVAC work orders in the summer months. In 2023, approximately 21 percent, 29 percent, 29 percent and 21 percent of our revenue, approximately 13 percent, 41 percent, 42 percent and five percent of our net income, and approximately 15 percent, 35 percent, 37 percent and 13 percent of our Adjusted EBITDA was recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.

Current wording

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which drive variations in our revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for interim periods.

Previous wording

The demand for our services, and our results of operations, are affected by weather conditions. Extreme temperatures, typically in the winter and summer months, can lead to an increase in service requests related to home systems, particularly HVAC systems, resulting in higher costs and lower profitability, while mild temperatures in the winter or summer months can lead to lower home systems claim frequency, resulting in lower costs and higher profitability. For example, favorable weather trends in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023 resulted in a lower number of service requests per customer in the HVAC trade, which favorably impacted contract claims costs.

Changes in U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may impact the costs of parts, appliances and home systems. Import duties or restrictions on components and raw materials that are imposed, or the perception that they could occur, may materially and adversely affect our business by increasing our costs. For example, rising costs due to blanket tariffs on imported steel and aluminum could increase the costs of our parts, appliances and home systems.

Current wording

Changes in U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may impact the costs of parts, appliances and home systems. Import duties or restrictions on components and raw materials that are imposed, or the perception that they could occur, may materially and adversely affect our business by increasing our costs. For example, rising costs due to blanket tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, or blanket tariffs on goods from countries that are key suppliers of replacement parts for appliances and home systems, could increase the costs of our parts, appliances and home systems. Recently, the United States has proposed, and in some cases has imposed, significant increases to tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., including from countries where we have sourced replacement parts for appliances and home systems covered by our home warranties. We cannot predict how or what tariffs will be imposed or what retaliatory measures other countries may take in response to tariffs proposed or imposed by the U.S. There is uncertainty as to further actions that may be taken by the U.S. with respect to U.S. trade policy, including with respect to the proposed tariffs. Such uncertainty and/or tariffs or countermeasures could further increase our costs, decrease our margins or reduce the competitiveness of our products and services.

We compete in the U.S. home warranty category and the broader U.S. home services industry. The home warranty category is highly competitive. While we have a broad range of competitors in each locality and region, we are one of the few companies that provide home warranties nationwide. The broader U.S. home services industry is also highly competitive. We compete against businesses providing on-demand home services directly and those offering leads to contractors seeking to provide on-demand home services. The principal methods of competition, and by which we differentiate ourselves from our competitors, are quality and speed of service, contract offerings, brand awareness and reputation, customer satisfaction, pricing and promotions, contractor network and referrals. We believe our nationwide network of qualified professional contractor firms, in combination with our large base of contracted customers, differentiate us from other platforms in the home services industry.

We anticipate that the highly fragmented nature of the home warranty category will continue to create strategic opportunities for acquisitions. Historically, we have used acquisitions to cost-effectively grow our customer base in high-growth geographies, and we intend to continue to do so. We have also used acquisitions to enhance our technological capabilities and geographic presence. We may also explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions that will expand our service offering in the broader home services industry. For example, on June 3, 2024, we entered into the Purchase Agreement to acquire 2-10 HBW, a leading provider of new home structural warranty protection plans. See “—Acquisition of 2-10 HBW” for additional information related to the pending acquisition.

Current wording

Historically, we have used acquisitions to grow our customer base in high-growth geographies, and we intend to continue to do so. Most recently, we acquired 2-10 HBW, which provides us more home warranty customers and increased revenue, in addition to opportunities for a new sales channel and a more diversified business portfolio. We have also used acquisitions to enhance our technological capabilities and geographic presence. We may also explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions that will expand our service offering in the broader home services industry, such as new home structural warranties acquired as part of 2-10 HBW. See “— 2-10 HBW Acquisition” for additional information related to the acquisition.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share. The presentation of net income and basic and diluted earnings per share provides measures of performance which are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties in company-to-company operating performance comparisons. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, performance options (which are stock options that become exercisable upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable performance goals, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the award agreement), RSUs, performance shares (which are contractual rights to receive a share of our common stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable performance goals, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the award agreement) and RSAs are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.

We reported revenue of $426 million and $378 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following table provides a summary of our revenue by major customer acquisition channel for our home warranties and other revenue:

Previous wording

Revenue increased three percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in renewal revenue reflects improved price realization resulting from our prior pricing actions, offset, in part, by a decline in the number of renewed home warranties. The decreases in real estate revenue and direct-to-consumer revenue primarily reflect a decline in the number of home warranties driven by the challenging real estate market and the impact of inflation on consumer sentiment. The increase in other revenue was driven by growth in on-demand home services, primarily new HVAC sales.

Current wording

Revenue increased 13 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in renewal revenue reflects improved price realization resulting from our prior pricing actions and the impact of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, offset, in part, by a decline in number of renewed home warranties. The decrease in direct-to-consumer revenue reflects lower price realization resulting from our efforts to drive incremental sales, offset, in part, by the impact of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition. The increase in other revenue was primarily driven by the impact of new home structural warranties from the 2-10 HBW Acquisition and growth in non-warranty home services.

Previous wording

The reduction in the number of home warranties as of September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by the challenging real estate market and the impact of inflation on consumer sentiment.

We reported cost of services rendered of $191 million and $184 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following table provides a summary of the changes in cost of services rendered:

Previous wording

The decrease in contract claims costs primarily reflects the impact of higher trade service fees, which drove a lower number of service requests per customer and a lower net cost per service request, a favorable weather impact of $10 million, as milder weather drove a lower number of service requests in the HVAC trade, and continued process improvement initiatives, specifically relating to better cost management across our contractor network. The decrease was offset, in part, by ongoing inflationary cost pressures. Additionally, contract claims costs reflects a $4 million favorable adjustment related to the development of prior period claims, compared to a $9 million favorable adjustment in the first nine months of 2023.

Current wording

The decrease in contract claims costs primarily reflects continued process improvement initiatives, specifically relating to better cost management across our contractor network and higher trade service fees, which drove a lower number of home warranty service requests per customer. This was offset, in part, by an unfavorable weather impact of $5 million, driven by a higher number of home warranty service requests in the HVAC trade, and ongoing inflationary cost pressures. Additionally, contract claims costs reflects a $7 million favorable adjustment in the first quarter of 2025 related to the development of prior period claims, compared to a $1 million favorable adjustment in the first quarter of 2024.
