Revenue increased 13% to $426 million and was comprised of a 10% increase from higher volume, primarily driven by the 2-10 acquisition, and a 3% increase from price.

Renewal revenue increased 12% due to improved price realization and an increase in overall volume;
Real estate revenue was flat year-over-year;
Direct-to-consumer revenue decreased 9%, primarily due to promotional pricing to drive higher unit sales;
Other revenue increased $16 million due to the addition of New Home Structural Warranty revenue and growth of the New HVAC and Moen programs.

First-quarter 2025 Net Income increased 9% to $37 million. The table above shows the change versus the prior-year period, and includes:

$32 million from higher revenue conversion⁽³⁾;
$8 million of lower contract claims costs⁽⁴⁾, excluding the impact of claims costs related to the change in revenue. The decrease in contract claims costs primarily reflects:
- Favorable claims cost development of $7 million, compared to a $1 million favorable claims cost development in the first quarter of 2024;
- Favorable cost trends and continued process improvement initiatives offset normal cost inflation across our contractor network, replacement parts and equipment;
- A higher number of customer service requests per customer, primarily in the HVAC trade driven by unfavorable weather, partially offset by lower incidence in other trades;
$4 million of higher customer service costs, primarily due to the 2-10 acquisition;
$10 million of higher general and administrative costs, primarily due to the 2-10 acquisition;
$14 million of higher depreciation and amortization expense, primarily due to the 2-10 acquisition; and
$10 million of higher interest expense, primarily due to higher debt balances related to the 2-10 acquisition.

First-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ increased 41% to $100 million versus the prior-year period, for the reasons discussed above.

Financing activities		(85	)		(21	)
Cash increase during the period	$	85		$	53

Net cash provided from operating activities was $124 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and was primarily comprised of $68 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $61 million of cash provided from working capital and long-term insurance related accounts, partially offset by $4 million in payments for restructuring charges.

Net cash provided from investing activities was $47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and was primarily comprised of the disposal of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by capital expenditures related to technology projects.

Net cash used for financing activities was $85 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and was primarily comprised of $70 million of share repurchases (excluding taxes and fees) and $7 million of scheduled debt payments.

Cash as of March 31, 2025 was $506 million and was comprised of $185 million of restricted net assets and $322 million of Unrestricted Cash.

Capital Allocation Update

Increasing target for 2025 share repurchases to at least $200 million.

Second-Quarter 2025 Outlook

Revenue of approximately $600 million to $605 million.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ of approximately $185 million to $190 million.

Updated Full-Year 2025 Outlook

Increasing revenue range to $2.03 billion to $2.05 billion. Key assumptions:
- 2-4% increase in realized price;
- 7-8% increase in volume driven by:
  - High-single digit increase in renewals channel revenue;
  - Low-to-mid single digit increase in direct-to-consumer channel revenue;
  - High-single-digit increase in real estate channel revenue;
- Other revenue of $165 million to $175 million, an approximately $55 million increase versus the prior year period. This is primarily driven by the addition of New Home Structural Warranty revenue, and increases in our New HVAC and Moen programs; and
- Home warranty member count to decline 1-3% in 2025.
Increasing gross profit margin range to 54% to 55%.
Increasing SG&A to an updated range of $650 million to $670 million, reflecting a $10 million increase in marketing investments to drive member growth.
Increasing Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ range to $500 million to $520 million.
Capital expenditures remain approximately $35 million to $45 million.
Annual effective tax rate remains approximately 25%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income before depreciation and amortization expense; goodwill and intangibles impairment; restructuring charges; acquisition-related costs; provision for income taxes; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and other non-operating expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as it facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment, restructuring and acquisition initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans.

We define "Free Cash Flow" as net cash provided from operating activities less property additions. Free Cash Flow is not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net cash provided from operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free Cash Flow is useful as a supplemental measure of our liquidity. Management uses Free Cash Flow to facilitate company-to-company cash flow comparisons, which may vary from company-to-company for reasons unrelated to operating performance.

We define "Adjusted Net Income" as net income before: amortization expense; restructuring charges; loss on extinguishment of debt; other non-operating expenses; and the tax impact of the aforementioned adjustments. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as it facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by items listed in this definition.

We define "Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share" as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

We define "Unrestricted Cash" as cash not subject to third-party restrictions. For additional information related to our third-party restrictions, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources — Liquidity" under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

See the schedules attached hereto for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of Frontdoor's business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of Frontdoor's business. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

The following terms, which may be used in this press release, are trademarks of Frontdoor, Inc. and its subsidiaries: Frontdoor®, American Home Shield®, HSA™, OneGuard®, Landmark Home Warranty®, Streem®, 2-10 HBW®, and related logos and designs. All other trademarks used herein are the property of their respective owners.

⁽¹⁾	See "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" accompanying this release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, each a non-GAAP measure, to the nearest GAAP measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in this release for descriptions of calculations of these measures. Amounts presented in the reconciliations and other tables presented herein may not sum due to rounding.
⁽²⁾	A reconciliation of the forward-looking second-quarter and full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.
⁽³⁾	Revenue conversion includes the impact of the change in the number of home warranties as well as the impact of year-over-year price changes. The impact of the change in the number of home warranties considers the associated revenue on those plans less an estimate of contract claims costs based on margin experience in the prior year period.
⁽⁴⁾	Contract claims costs includes the impact of changes in service request incidence, inflation and other drivers associated with the number of home warranties in the prior year period. The impact on contract claims costs resulting from year-over-year changes in the number of home warranties is included in revenue conversion above.
