Frontdoor, Inc.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Frontdoor is the leading provider of home service plans in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates under the American Home Shield, HSA, OneGuard and Landmark brands. Our customizable home service plans help customers protect and maintain their homes, typically their most valuable asset, from costly and unplanned breakdowns of essential home systems and appliances. Our home service plan customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of more than 20 home systems and appliances, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges/ovens/cooktops, as well as optional coverages for electronics, pools, spas and pumps. Our operations also include our ProConnect on-demand home services business and Streem, a technology platform that uses augmented reality, computer vision and machine learning to, among other things, help home service professionals more quickly and accurately diagnose breakdowns and complete repairs. At September 30, 2022, we had 2.2 million active home service plans across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

We recommend that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of the results that might be achieved for a full year.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Changes in macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, global supply chain challenges and the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as they may affect existing home sales, interest rates, consumer confidence or labor availability, may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs and adversely impact our business. While these macroeconomic conditions generally impact the United States as a whole, we believe our nationwide presence limits the risk of poor economic conditions in any particular region of the United States.

During the first nine months of 2022, our financial condition and results of operations were adversely impacted by the following:

The challenging home seller’s market, driven, in part, by extremely low home inventory levels, continued to constrain demand for home service plans in the first-year real estate channel.

Our contractors continued to be impacted by inflation, including higher labor, fuel and parts and equipment costs. We continue to take actions to mitigate these impacts, including increasing the share of parts and equipment our contractors source through us, increasing the percent of service requests completed by lower-cost preferred contractors and accelerating contractor recruitment efforts.

Industry-wide parts availability challenges continued to drive elevated appliance replacement levels due to lack of parts availability, further contributing to increased costs and adversely impacting the customer experience, which was reflected in our customer retention rate.

Due to labor availability challenges, we continued to experience workforce retention issues, including difficulties in hiring and retaining employees in customer service operations and throughout our business, and we believe our contractors are experiencing similar workforce challenges.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

The implications of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. Moreover, as a result of the increase in remote or hybrid working arrangements in response to the pandemic, which trend may continue to persist even as the pandemic continues to subside, a significant number of people may continue to spend greater time at home, which may result in a continued increase in usage of home systems and appliances and demand for our services and a resulting increase in service-related costs. We also expect that industry-wide supply chain challenges may continue to contribute to increased costs and impact the customer experience, which may affect customer retention. Accordingly, the COVID-19 situation remains very fluid, and we continue to adjust our response in real time. It remains difficult to predict the overall continuing impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Note 3. Revenue

The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home service plan agreements entered into with our customers. Our home service plan agreements have one performance obligation, which is to provide for the repair or replacement of essential home systems and appliances, as applicable per the contract. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Those costs bear a direct relationship to the fulfillment of our obligations under the contracts and are representative of the relative value provided to the customer. As the costs to fulfill the obligations of the home service plans are incurred on an other-than-straight-line basis, we utilize historical evidence to estimate the expected claims expense and related timing of such costs. This adjustment to the straight-line revenue creates a contract asset or contract liability, as described under the heading “Contract balances” below. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs and adjust our estimates when appropriate. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States.

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major customer acquisition channels. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by major customer acquisition channel is as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
|  | September 30, |  | September 30,
(In millions) |  | 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Renewals |  | $ | 356 |  | $ | 328 |  | $ | 949 |  | $ | 867
Real estate(1) |  |  | 51 |  |  | 73 |  |  | 153 |  |  | 207
Direct-to-consumer(1) |  |  | 64 |  |  | 59 |  |  | 176 |  |  | 157
Other |  |  | 13 |  |  | 11 |  |  | 44 |  |  | 31
Total |  | $ | 484 |  | $ | 471 |  | $ | 1,322 |  | $ | 1,263

_____________________________

(1)First-year revenue only.

Renewals

Revenue from all customer renewals, whether initiated via the real estate or direct-to-consumer channel, are classified as renewals above. Customer payments for renewals are received either at the commencement of the renewal period or in installments over the contract period.

Real estate

Real estate home service plans are sold through annual contracts in connection with a real estate sale, and payments are typically paid in full at closing. First-year revenue from the real estate channel is classified as real estate above.

Direct-to-consumer

Direct-to-consumer home service plans are sold through annual contracts when customers request a service plan in response to marketing efforts or when third-party resellers make a sale. Customer payments are received either at the commencement of the contract or in installments over the contract period. First-year revenue from the direct-to-consumer channel is classified as direct-to-consumer above.

Other

Other revenue includes revenue generated by our ProConnect on-demand home services business and Streem, as well as administrative fees and ancillary services attributable to our home service plan agreements.

11

Costs to obtain a contract with a customer

We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, primarily sales commissions, and recognize the expense using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract, over the expected customer relationship period. Deferred customer acquisition costs were $17 million and $16 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Amortization of these deferred acquisition costs was $6 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $15 million for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. There were no impairment losses in relation to these capitalized costs.

Contract balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contracts with customers, including contracts resulting from customer renewals, are generally for a period of one year. We record a receivable related to revenue recognized on services once we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to the services provided. All accounts receivable are recorded within Receivables, less allowances, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. We invoice our monthly-pay customers on a straight-line basis over the contract term. As a result, a contract asset is created when revenue is recognized on monthly-pay customers before being billed. As of September 30, 2022, a contract asset of $65 million was recorded related to the recognition of monthly-pay customer revenue on an other-than-straight-line basis to match the timing of cost recognition.

Deferred revenue represents a contract liability and is recognized when cash payments are received in advance of the performance of services, including when the amounts are refundable. Amounts are recognized as revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under our contracts. Deferred revenue was $113 million and $155 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Changes in deferred revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were as follows:

(In millions) |  | Deferred Revenue
Balance as of December 31, 2021 |  | $ | 155
Deferral of revenue |  |  | 209
Recognition of deferred revenue |  |  | (251)
Balance as of September 30, 2022 |  | $ | 113

There was approximately $33 million and $155 million of revenue recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021. Deferred revenue decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans and the recognition of previously deferred amounts on an other than straight-line basis to match the timing of cost recognition.

Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are subject to assessment for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. An assessment for impairment is performed on October 1 of every year.

In connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of 2022, we determined that indicators of a potential goodwill and intangible assets impairment were present for our Streem reporting unit. In particular, we will now be more focused on integrating Streem’s technology into the core business and will be less focused on selling this technology platform to third-party business-to-business customers as a software-as-a-service platform. This shift in focus resulted in significantly lower projected revenue for Streem. We performed an interim impairment analysis of the Streem reporting unit as of September 30, 2022. In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, we determined that the carrying amount of the Streem reporting unit exceeded its fair value. An impairment charge of $14 million was recognized during the third quarter, which comprised the remaining net book value of Streem’s goodwill of $9 million and intangibles of $5 million.

The balance of goodwill was $503 million as of September 30, 2022 and $512 million as of December 31, 2021. There were no goodwill or trade name impairment charges recorded in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021, and there were no accumulated impairment losses recorded as of December 31, 2021.

Note 5. Leases

We have operating leases primarily for our corporate offices, customer service centers and engineering and technology campuses. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 12 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years. Renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease term. An incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of lease payments unless an implicit rate is readily determinable. Incremental borrowing rates are determined based on our secured borrowing rating and the lease term.

The weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate related to operating leases is as follows:

|  | As of
|  | September 30, |  | December 31,
|  | 2022 |  | 2021
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) |  | 8 |  |  | 9 |
Weighted-average discount rate |  | 5.6 | % |  | 5.6 | %

We recognized operating lease expense of $1 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and $3 million for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. These expenses are included in Selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

_____________________________

(1)Each of the years ending December 31, 2023 through 2026 presented net of approximately $1 million of projected annual sublease income.

Sublease of Company Headquarters

On August 10, 2022, we subleased our corporate headquarters facility in Memphis, Tennessee. As a result of us exiting the facility on June 27, 2022, we incurred a non-cash impairment charge of $11 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no such charges for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Note 6. Income Taxes

As required by ASC 740, we compute interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. Our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter in accordance with ASC 740. The effective tax rate on income was 28.2 percent and 24.3 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 26.5 percent and 24.4 percent for nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 2021 is primarily due to share-based awards and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, offset, in part, by income tax credits and state income taxes.

We are subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was generated in the United States.

Note 7. Restructuring Charges

We incurred restructuring charges of $5 million ($4 million, net of tax) and less than $1 million (less than $1 million, net of tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $18 million ($13 million, net of tax) and $2 million ($1 million, net of tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, restructuring charges primarily comprised a $2 million impairment of certain internally developed software and $3 million of severance and other costs. Severance costs of $2 million related to a reduction in workforce of seven percent as part of our completed strategic review of our selling, general and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, restructuring charges primarily comprised an $11 million impairment charge related to our Memphis headquarters facility operating lease right-of-use asset and leasehold improvements, a $2 million impairment of certain internally developed software and $5 million of severance and other costs. Severance costs of $2 million related to a reduction in workforce of seven percent as part of our completed strategic review of our selling, general and administrative expenses.

14

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, restructuring charges primarily comprised severance costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, restructuring charges comprised $1 million of accelerated depreciation of certain technology systems driven by efforts to enhance our technological capabilities and $1 million of severance and other costs.

The pre-tax charges discussed above are reported in “Restructuring charges” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

As of December 31, 2021, there were less than $1 million of restructuring charges accrued, which were paid or otherwise settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, there were $2 million in accrued restructuring charges in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Accruals for home service plan claims are made using internal actuarial projections, which are based on current claims and historical claims experience. Accruals are established based on estimates of the ultimate cost to settle claims. Home service plan claims take approximately three months to settle, on average, and substantially all claims are settled within six months of incurrence. The amount of time required to settle a claim can vary based on a number of factors, including whether a replacement is ultimately required. In addition to our estimates, we engage a third-party actuary to perform an accrual analysis utilizing generally accepted actuarial methods that incorporate cumulative historical claims experience and information provided by us. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs along with the third-party analysis and adjust our estimates when appropriate. We believe the use of actuarial methods to account for these liabilities provides a consistent and effective way to measure these judgmental accruals.

We have certain liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. We accrue for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified.

Due to the nature of our business activities, we are also at times subject to pending and threatened legal and regulatory actions that arise out of the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of any such matters is not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $5 million ($4 million, net of tax) for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and $17 million ($15 million, net of tax) and $19 million ($14 million, net of tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These charges are included in Selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

A summary of awards granted under the Omnibus Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is presented below:

Note 13. Derivative Financial Instruments

We currently use a derivative financial instrument to manage risks associated with changes in interest rates. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In designating derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments under accounting standards for derivative instruments, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. We assess at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the projected cash flows of the associated forecasted transaction.

We hedge the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of an interest rate swap agreement. Our interest rate swap contract is classified as a cash flow hedge, and, as such, it is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position as either an asset or liability at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in AOCI. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap contract are classified as operating activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap contract is recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement affects earnings. See Note 12 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI and for the amounts reclassified out of AOCI and into earnings. As the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, the unrealized hedging gain in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is $3 million, net of tax, as of September 30, 2022. The amounts that are ultimately reclassified into earnings will be based on actual interest rates at the time the positions are settled and may differ materially from the amount noted above.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements

We estimate fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. The valuation techniques require inputs that the business categorizes using a three-level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets ("Level 1"); direct or indirect observable inputs, including quoted prices or other market data, for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets ("Level 2"); and unobservable inputs that require significant judgment for which there is little or no market data ("Level 3"). When multiple input levels are required for a valuation, we categorize the entire fair value measurement according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement, even though we may have also utilized significant inputs that are more readily observable.

The period-end carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of total debt was $613 million and $625 million, and the estimated fair value was $602 million and $630 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of our debt is estimated based on available market prices for the same or similar instruments that are considered significant other observable inputs (Level 2) within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values presented reflect the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value estimates presented in this report are based on information available to us as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We value our interest rate swap contract using a forward interest rate curve obtained from a third-party market data provider. The fair value of the contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract interest rate to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between the two rates to the notional amount of debt in the interest rate swap contract.

We did not change our valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Note 16. Earnings Per Share

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 of stock options, RSUs, performance shares and RSAs are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
|  | September 30, |  | September 30,
(In millions, except per share data) |  | 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Net Income |  | $ | 28 |  | $ | 76 |  | $ | 63 |  | $ | 122

Diluted earnings per share |  | $ | 0.34 |  | $ | 0.89 |  | $ | 0.77 |  | $ | 1.42

___________________________________

(1)RSUs of 0.8 million and 0.3 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 1.0 million and 0.3 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(2)Options to purchase 1.6 million and 0.7 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 1.4 million and 0.6 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K and with the information under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Overview

Frontdoor is the leading provider of home service plans in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates under the American Home Shield, HSA, OneGuard and Landmark brands. Our customizable home service plans help customers protect and maintain their homes, typically their most valuable asset, from costly and unplanned breakdowns of essential home systems and appliances. Our home service plan customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of more than 20 home systems and appliances, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges/ovens/cooktops, as well as optional coverages for electronics, pools, spas and pumps. Our operations also include our ProConnect on-demand home services business and Streem, a technology platform that uses augmented reality, computer vision and machine learning to, among other things, help home service professionals more quickly and accurately diagnose breakdowns and complete repairs. At September 30, 2022, we had 2.2 million active home service plans across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $484 million, $28 million and $79 million, respectively, and $471 million, $76 million and $122 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $1,322 million, $63 million and $181 million, respectively, and $1,263 million, $122 million and $272 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our total operating revenue included 72 percent of revenue derived from existing customer renewals, while 12 percent and 13 percent were derived from new home service plan sales made in conjunction with existing home real estate transactions and direct-to-consumer sales, respectively, and three percent was derived from other revenue channels.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our total operating revenue included 69 percent of revenue derived from existing customer renewals, while 16 percent and 12 percent were derived from new home service plan sales made in conjunction with existing home real estate transactions and direct-to-consumer sales, respectively, and three percent was derived from other revenue channels.

Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

Macroeconomic Conditions

Changes in macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, global supply chain challenges and the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as they may affect existing home sales, interest rates, consumer confidence or labor availability, may reduce demand for our services, increase our costs and adversely impact our business. While these macroeconomic conditions generally impact the United States as a whole, we believe our nationwide presence limits the risk of poor economic conditions in any particular region of the United States.

22

During the first nine months of 2022, our financial condition and results of operations were adversely impacted by the following:

The challenging home seller’s market, driven, in part, by extremely low home inventory levels, continued to constrain demand for home service plans in the first-year real estate channel.

Our contractors continued to be impacted by inflation, including higher labor, fuel and parts and equipment costs. We continue to take actions to mitigate these impacts, including increasing the share of parts and equipment our contractors source through us, increasing the percent of service requests completed by lower-cost preferred contractors and accelerating contractor recruitment efforts.

Industry-wide parts availability challenges continued to drive elevated appliance replacement levels due to lack of parts availability, further contributing to increased costs and adversely impacting the customer experience, which was reflected in our customer retention rate.

Due to labor availability challenges, we continued to experience workforce retention issues, including difficulties in hiring and retaining employees in customer service operations and throughout our business, and we believe our contractors are experiencing similar workforce challenges.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

The implications of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. Moreover, as a result of the increase in remote or hybrid working arrangements in response to the pandemic, which trend may continue to persist even as the pandemic continues to subside, a significant number of people may continue to spend greater time at home, which may result in a continued increase in usage of home systems and appliances and demand for our services and a resulting increase in service-related costs. We also expect that industry-wide supply chain challenges may continue to contribute to increased costs and impact the customer experience, which may affect customer retention. Accordingly, the COVID-19 situation remains very fluid, and we continue to adjust our response in real time. It remains difficult to predict the overall continuing impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which drives 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 2021, we continued to experience additional variations as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an elevated level of service requests in the appliance trade compared to pre-pandemic levels as our customers spent more time at home. In 2021, approximately 21 percent, 29 percent, 29 percent and 21 percent of our revenue, approximately 4 percent, 31 percent, 60 percent and 5 percent of our net income, and approximately 12 percent, 38 percent, 41 percent and 9 percent of our Adjusted EBITDA was recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.

Effect of Weather Conditions

The demand for our services, and our results of operations, are affected by weather conditions. Extreme temperatures can lead to an increase in service requests related to home systems, particularly HVAC systems, resulting in higher claim frequency and costs and lower profitability. For example, contract claims costs were unfavorably impacted by the extremely hot weather across the country during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021. Weather conditions that have a potentially favorable impact to our business include mild winters or summers, which can lead to lower home systems claim frequency.

While weather variations as described above may affect our business, major weather events and other similar Acts of God, such as hurricanes, flooding and tornadoes, typically do not increase our obligations to provide service. Generally, repairs associated with such isolated events are addressed by homeowners’ and other forms of insurance as opposed to the home service plans that we offer.

Tariff and Import/Export Regulations

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.

23

Competition

We compete in the U.S. home service plan category and the broader U.S. home services industry. The home service plan category is highly competitive. 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.

Acquisition Activity

We anticipate that the highly fragmented nature of the home service plan 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 may also explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions that will expand our service offering in the broader home services industry. We have also used acquisitions to enhance our technological capabilities and geographic presence. In 2019, we acquired Streem to support the service experience for our customers, reduce costs and create potentially new revenue opportunities across a variety of channels.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. We present within this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. See “Results of Operations — Adjusted EBITDA” for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Free Cash Flow” for a reconciliation of net cash provided from operating activities to Free Cash Flow, as well as “Key Business Metrics” for further discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors, analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our business performance as they facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons. Management believes 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. While we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and are 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, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Key Business Metrics

We focus on a variety of indicators and key operating and financial metrics to monitor the financial condition and performance of the continuing operations of our business. These metrics include:

revenue,

operating expenses,

net income,

earnings per share,

Adjusted EBITDA,

Adjusted EBITDA margin,

net cash provided from operating activities,

Free Cash Flow,

growth in number of home service plans, and

customer retention rate.

Revenue. The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home service plan agreements entered into with our customers. Home service plan contracts are typically one year in duration. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Our revenue is primarily a function of the volume and pricing of the services provided to our customers, as well as the mix of services provided. Our revenue volume is impacted by new home service plan sales, customer retention and acquisitions. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States.

24

Operating Expenses. In addition to changes in our revenue, our operating results are affected by, among other things, the level of our operating expenses. Our operating expenses primarily include contract claims costs and expenses associated with sales and marketing, customer service and general corporate overhead. A number of our operating expenses are subject to inflationary pressures, such as: salaries and wages, employee benefits and healthcare; contractor costs; parts, appliances and home systems costs; tariffs; insurance premiums; and various regulatory compliance costs.

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 of stock options, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. We evaluate performance based primarily on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before: depreciation and amortization expense; goodwill and intangibles impairment; restructuring charges; provision for income taxes; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and other non-operating expenses. We define “Adjusted EBITDA margin” as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as they facilitate 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 initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans.

Net Cash Provided from Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow. We focus on measures designed to monitor cash flow, including net cash provided from operating activities and Free Cash Flow, which is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and represents net cash provided from operating activities less property additions.

Growth in Number of Home Service Plans and Customer Retention Rate. We report our growth in number of home service plans and customer retention rate in order to track the performance of our business. Home service plans represent our recurring customer base, which includes customers with active contracts for recurring services. Our customer retention rate is calculated as the ratio of ending home service plans to the sum of beginning home service plans, new home service plan sales and acquired accounts for the applicable period. These measures are presented on a rolling, 12-month basis in order to avoid seasonal anomalies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, certain of which are described below.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are subject to assessment for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently, if circumstances indicate a potential impairment.

In connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of 2022, we determined that indicators of a potential goodwill and intangible assets impairment were present for our Streem reporting unit. In particular, we will now be more focused on integrating Streem’s technology into the core business and will be less focused on selling this technology platform to third-party business-to-business customers as a software-as-a-service platform. This shift in focus resulted in significantly lower projected revenue for Streem. We performed an interim impairment analysis of the Streem reporting unit as of September 30, 2022. In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, we determined that the carrying amount of the Streem reporting unit exceeded its fair value. An impairment charge of $14 million was recognized during the third quarter, which comprised the remaining net book value of Streem’s goodwill of $9 million and intangibles of $5 million.

W e do not believe there are any additional circumstances, including those related to COVID-19, that would indicate any other potential impairment of our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We will continue to monitor the macroeconomic impacts on our business in our ongoing evaluation of potential impairments.

________________________________

(1)First-year revenue only.

Revenue increased three percent for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by higher renewal revenue due to improved price realization and growth in the number of renewed home service plans. The decrease in real estate revenue primarily reflects a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans driven by a continuation of the challenging home seller’s market. The increase in direct-to-consumer revenue primarily reflects improved price realization and a mix shift to higher priced products, offset, in part, by a decline in the number of first-year direct-to-consumer home service plans. The increase in other revenue was driven by growth in our ProConnect on-demand home services business.

The decrease in sales and marketing costs was primarily driven by reduced investments in our ProConnect on-demand home services business. The decrease in customer service costs was primarily driven by lower labor costs. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to higher personnel and insurance costs.

The increase in sales and marketing costs was primarily driven by increased investments to drive sales growth in the home service plan direct-to-consumer channel and our ProConnect on-demand home services business. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to increased professional fees and higher personnel and insurance costs.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation expense was $6 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and $19 million and $18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization expense was $2 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and $6 million and $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in amortization expense was due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during 2021.

Goodwill and Intangibles Impairment

Goodwill and intangibles impairment was $14 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. There was no such impairment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges were $5 million and less than $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $18 million and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, restructuring charges primarily comprised a $2 million impairment of certain internally developed software and $3 million of severance and other costs. Severance costs of $2 million related to a reduction in workforce of seven percent as part of our completed strategic review of our selling, general and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, restructuring charges primarily comprised an $11 million impairment charge related to our Memphis headquarters facility operating lease right-of-use asset and leasehold improvements, a $2 million impairment of certain internally developed software and $5 million of severance and other costs. Severance costs of $2 million related to a reduction in workforce of seven percent as part of our completed strategic review of our selling, general and administrative expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, restructuring charges primarily comprised severance costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, restructuring charges comprised $1 million of accelerated depreciation of certain technology systems driven by efforts to enhance our technological capabilities and $1 million of severance and other costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $8 million and $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $22 million and $32 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease was driven by our debt reduction and refinancing activities in 2021.

29

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $31 million for t he nine months ended September 30, 2021. Amounts relate to our debt reduction and refinancing activities in 2021. There were no such charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on income was 28.2 percent and 24.3 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 26.5 percent and 24.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 2021 is primarily due to share-based awards and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, offset, in part, by income tax credits and state income taxes.

Net Income

Net income was $28 million and $76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $63 million and $122 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 2021, the decrease in net income was primarily driven by the decrease in the aforementioned operating results, the goodwill and intangibles impairment charges and the increase in restructuring charges.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 2021, the decrease in net income was primarily driven by the decrease in the aforementioned operating results, the goodwill and intangibles impairment charges and the increase in restructuring charges, offset, in part, by the decrease in interest expense and the impact of the prior year loss on extinguishment of debt.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $79 million and $122 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $181 million and $272 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following tables provide a summary of changes in our Adjusted EBITDA:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 |  | $ | 79

The increase in contract claims costs primarily reflects an acceleration of inflationary cost pressures, including rising contractor-related expenses and higher parts and equipment costs.

The decrease in sales and marketing costs was primarily driven by reduced investment in our ProConnect on-demand home services business. The decrease in customer service costs was primarily driven by lower labor costs. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to higher personnel and insurance costs.

The increase in contract claims costs primarily reflects an acceleration of inflationary cost pressures, including rising contractor-related expenses and higher parts and equipment costs. In addition, contract claims costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 include a $12 million unfavorable adjustment related to the adverse development of prior period claims.

The increase in sales and marketing costs was primarily driven by increased investments to drive sales growth in the home service plan direct-to-consumer channel and our ProConnect on-demand home services business. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to increased professional fees and higher personnel and insurance costs.

_________________________________

(1)We exclude goodwill and intangibles impairment, restructuring charges and loss on extinguishment of debt from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they do not reflect our ongoing operations and because we believe doing so is useful to investors in aiding period-to-period comparability.

(2)We exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense from Adjusted EBITDA primarily because it is a non-cash expense and because it is not used by management to assess ongoing operational performance. We believe excluding this expense from Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in aiding period-to-period comparability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

A substantial portion of our liquidity needs are due to debt service requirements on our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit or restrict our ability, including the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, repurchase debt, incur liens, sell assets, make certain payments (including dividends) and enter into transactions with affiliates. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants under the agreements that were in effect on such date. Based on current conditions, we do not believe the acceleration of inflationary cost pressures, global supply chain challenges and the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic will affect our ongoing ability to meet the covenants in our debt instruments, including our Credit Agreement.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $244 million and $262 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents include balances associated with regulatory requirements in our business. See “—Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries.” As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the total net assets subject to these third-party restrictions was $157 million and $175 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, there were $2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our $250 million Revolving Credit Facility, and the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was limited by the applicable consolidated first lien leverage ratio contained in the Credit Agreement to $199 million. The letters of credit are posted in lieu of cash to satisfy regulatory requirements in certain states in which we operate. We currently believe that cash generated from operations, our cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2022 will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations in the short- and long-term.

We closely monitor the performance of our investment portfolio. From time to time, we review the statutory reserve requirements to which our regulated entities are subject and any changes to such requirements. These reviews may result in identifying current reserve levels above or below minimum statutory reserve requirements, in which case we may adjust our reserves. The reviews may also identify opportunities to satisfy certain regulatory reserve requirements through alternate financial vehicles.

31

We may, from time to time, repurchase or otherwise retire or extend our debt and/or take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position, gross leverage, results of operations or cash flows. These actions may include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of outstanding debt and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, and the price of such repurchases, retirements or refinancings will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

On September 7, 2021, we announced a three-year repurchase authorization of up to $400 million of outstanding shares of our common stock. We expect to fund the share repurchases from net cash provided from operating activities. We did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we have purchased a total of 4,478,194 outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $162 million under this program, which is included in treasury stock on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. We had $238 million remaining available for future repurchases under the program. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made from time to time by the company in the open market at prevailing market prices (including through a Rule 10b5-1 Plan), in privately negotiated transactions, or through any combination of these methods, through September 3, 2024. The actual timing, number, manner and value of any shares repurchased will depend on several factors, including the market price of the company’s stock, general market and economic conditions, the company’s liquidity requirements, applicable legal requirements and other business considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any number of shares in any specific period or at all and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.

Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries

We depend on our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us so that we may pay obligations and expenses, including satisfying obligations with respect to indebtedness. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions and dividends to us depends on their operating results, cash requirements, financial condition and general business conditions, as well as restrictions under the laws of our subsidiaries’ jurisdictions.

Our subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to us.

Furthermore, there are third-party restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us. These restrictions are related to regulatory requirements. The payments of ordinary and extraordinary dividends by certain of our subsidiaries (through which we conduct our business) are subject to significant regulatory restrictions under the laws and regulations of the states in which they operate. Among other things, such laws and regulations require certain subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital and net worth requirements and may limit the amount of ordinary and extraordinary dividends and other payments that these subsidiaries can pay to us. We expect that such limitations will be in effect for the foreseeable future. In Texas, we are relieved of the obligation to post 75 percent of our otherwise required reserves because we operate a captive insurer approved by Texas regulators in order to satisfy such obligations. None of our subsidiaries are obligated to make funds available to us through the payment of dividends.

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, are summarized in the following table.

|  | Nine Months Ended
|  | September 30,
(In millions) |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Net cash provided from (used for): |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating activities |  | $ | 80 |  | $ | 142
Investing activities |  |  | (25) |  |  | (23)
Financing activities |  |  | (74) |  |  | (407)
Cash (decrease) increase during the period |  | $ | (19) |  | $ | (289)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided from operating activities was $80 million and $142 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net cash provided from operating activities in 2022 comprised $121 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges, offset, in part, by $41 million in cash used for working capital. Cash used for working capital was primarily driven by seasonality and the impacts on deferred revenue of a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans.

32

Net cash provided from operating activities in 2021 comprised $207 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges, offset, in part, by $65 million in cash used for working capital. Cash used for working capital was driven by seasonality and the impacts on deferred revenue of a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans and a shift in the mix of annual-pay customers to monthly-pay customers.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $25 million and $23 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Capital expenditures were $30 million and $23 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and included recurring capital needs and technology projects. We expect capital expenditures for the full year 2022 relating to recurring capital needs and the continuation of investments in information systems and productivity enhancing technology to be approximately $40 million to $45 million. We have no additional material capital commitments at this time.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities was $74 million and $407 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we made scheduled principal payments of debt and finance lease obligations of $13 million and purchased outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $59 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as part of our debt reduction and refinancing activities in 2021, we borrowed $638 million, net of discount, under the Term Loan Facilities and redeemed the remaining outstanding principal amounts of $634 million of the Prior Term Loan Facility and $350 million of the 2026 Notes. In connection with the repayments, we paid a “make-whole” redemption premium of $21 million on the 2026 Notes and debt issuance costs of $8 million. In addition, we repurchased $25 million of common stock.

Free Cash Flow

The following table reconciles net cash provided from operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow using data derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

|  | Nine Months Ended
(In millions) |  | September 30,
|  | 2022 |  | 2021
Net cash provided from operating activities |  | $ | 80 |  | $ | 142
Property additions |  |  | (30) |  |  | (23)
Free Cash Flow |  | $ | 50 |  | $ | 119

Contractual Obligations

Our 2021 Form 10-K includes disclosures of our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2021. We continue to make the contractually required payments, and, therefore, the 2022 obligations and commitments described in our 2021 Form 10-K have been reduced by the required payments.

Financial Position

The following discussion describes changes in our financial position from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022:

Contract asset increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting a net contract asset related to the recognition of monthly-pay customer revenue on an other-than-straight-line basis to match the timing of cost recognition.

Intangible assets, net decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting a $5 million impairment of intangibles related to our Streem reporting unit. See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information.

Accounts payable increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting the timing of trade payables due to the seasonality of our business.

Home service plan claims increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting inflation and the seasonality of contract claims, which increased amounts due to contractors and suppliers.

33

Deferred revenue decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting a decline in the number of first-year real estate home service plans and the recognition of previously deferred amounts on an other than straight-line basis to match the timing of cost recognition.

Long-term debt decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting schedule debt payments.

Other long-term liabilities decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the change in the valuation of our interest rate swap.

Total shareholders’ equity was $47 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $2 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by net income and the change in valuation of our interest rate swap, offset, in part, by the repurchases of common stock. See the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity (deficit) included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further information.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changes in macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, global supply chain challenges and the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on existing home sales, interest rates, consumer confidence, labor availability, insurance costs and medical costs could have a material adverse impact on future results of operations.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manage this exposure through the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing an interest rate swap. There have been no material changes to the market risk associated with debt obligations and other significant instruments from the risks described in Part II, Item 7A in our 2021 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On September 7, 2021, we announced a three-year repurchase authorization of up to $400 million of outstanding shares of our common stock over the three-year period from September 3, 2021 through September 3, 2024. We did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
