Current report

On a consolidated basis, revenue was $3.9 billion and $10.9 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, an increase of $2.1 billion, or 111.1%, and an increase of $5.6 billion, or 107.3%, compared to the prior-year periods, respectively. These increases are primarily the result of the acquisition of Anywhere in January 2026.

Current report

On a pro forma basis, revenue was $3.9 billion and $11.0 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, an increase of $404 million, or 11.6%, and an increase of $1,123 million, or 11.4%, compared to the prior-year periods. These increases are primarily a result of higher average sale prices across our various segments.

Current report

On a pro forma basis, commissions and other related expenses was $2.9 billion and $8.2 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, an increase of $335 million, or 13.0%, and an increase of $916 million, or 12.6%, compared to the prior-year periods, respectively. Year-over-year increases in absolute dollars were driven by higher gross commission income from our owned-brokerage business during the three months ended September 30, 2026. On a pro forma basis, commissions and other related expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the prior-year periods, reflecting changes in agent commission arrangements and geographic mix.

Current report

Gross Transaction Value for the Franchise segment increased to $108.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and $305.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. On a pro forma basis, Gross Transaction Value for the Franchise segment decreased by $1.5 billion, or 1.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and increased by $14.6 billion, or 5.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the prior year periods. The quarterly decrease in pro forma Gross Transaction Value was driven mainly by the Conversions, since the Gross Transaction Value of those businesses is reported in the Brokerage segment after their conversion dates. The nine-month increase was driven mainly by higher average sales prices year-over-year.

Previous report

On a consolidated basis, revenue was $4.3 billion and $7.0 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, an increase of $2.2 billion, or 109.0%, and an increase of $3.6 billion, or 105.2%, compared to the prior-year periods, respectively. These increases are primarily the result of the acquisition of Anywhere in January 2026. On a pro forma basis, revenue was $4.3 billion and $7.1 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, an increase of $539 million, or 14.3%, and an increase of $719 million, or 11.3%, compared to the prior-year periods, respectively. These increases are a result of higher transaction counts and higher average home sale prices across our various segments.

Previous report

On a pro forma basis, commissions and other related expenses was $3.3 billion and $5.3 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, an increase of $438 million, or 15.6%, and an increase of $581 million, or 12.3%, compared to the prior-year periods, respectively. The year-over-year increases on an absolute dollar basis are the result of increased transaction counts for our owned brokerage business. As a percentage of revenue, pro forma basis commissions and other related expenses increased from the prior-year periods. These increases are a result of changes in mix of the commission arrangements we have with our agents and changes in geographic mix.

Previous report

Gross Transaction Value for the Franchise segment rose to $120.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $196.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026. On a pro forma basis, Gross Transaction Value for the Franchise segment increased by $12.6 billion, or 11.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and increased by $16.0 billion, or 8.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year periods. The year-over-year increase in pro forma Gross Transaction Volume was primarily driven by a higher number of transactions completed by our franchisees' real estate professionals, as well as a higher average sales price on those transactions.

Following the Anywhere Merger, the 9.75% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes and the 7.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (together, the “Secured Notes”) and the 5.75% Senior Notes and 5.25% Senior Notes (together, the “Unsecured Notes”) continued as obligations of the Anywhere issuers. The Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes represent an aggregate of $2.1 billion in principal amount of debt assumed in the Anywhere Merger and are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2026.

Previous wording

In anticipation with the Anywhere Merger, on January 9, 2026 we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Convertible Notes”) to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and certain other initial purchasers (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”). The Convertible Notes will mature on April 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, converted or redeemed. The Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 20, 2029 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 62.5626 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.98 per share of Class A common stock. The net proceeds were used to repay the revolving credit facility of Anywhere and its subsidiaries, pay related fees, costs and expenses related to the Anywhere Merger and fund the net cost of entering into the Capped Call Transactions (as defined below).

Previous wording

Additionally, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is $23.68 per share of Class A common stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock on January 7, 2026. We paid $97 million for the Capped Call Transactions, funded with proceeds from the Convertible Notes. The net cash proceeds we received from the offering of the Convertible Notes were approximately $880 million after considering the $97 million cost of the Capped Call Transaction and $23 million of debt issuance costs.
