REALOGY REPORTS RESULTS FOR FULL YEAR 2011

Real Estate Leader Posts Net Revenue of $4.1 Billion;
Refinances Near-Term Debt Maturities;
CEO and President Richard A. Smith Elected as Chairman of the Board, Effective March 15, 2012


PARSIPPANY, N.J., February 27, 2012 - Realogy Corporation, a global leader in real estate and relocation services, today reported results for the year ended December 31, 2011. Realogy's net revenue for the year was $4.1 billion, which was flat as compared to 2010. Realogy's EBITDA before restructuring and other items for the year was $476 million, a decrease of 11% year-over-year. This was attributable to a decrease in sales volume at both the franchised and company-owned real estate services segments as well as certain beneficial items in 2010 that did not recur in 2011. Realogy's reported EBITDA for the year was $443 million. For the full year, Realogy recorded a net loss attributable to the Company of $441 million, which includes $666 million of interest expense, $186 million of depreciation and amortization and $36 million from the loss on early extinguishment of debt in early 2011.

“The U.S. economy remained weak in 2011, and our business results reflected that weakness,” said Richard A. Smith, Realogy's president and chief executive officer. “Despite the difficult macroeconomic headwinds and another challenging housing market in 2011, our revenues were flat year-over-year. While we experienced modest softness in our real estate franchising and brokerage segments, as did the rest of the industry, this was offset by continued growth in our relocation and title services segments."

Earlier today, the Realogy Board of Directors elected Mr. Smith as Chairman of the Board in addition to his ongoing role as Chief Executive Officer and President. Smith's appointment as Chairman will begin March 15, 2012, which is the effective date of Henry Silverman's resignation from his positions as a director and the non-executive chairman of Realogy's Board of Directors. Apollo Global Management, LLC, previously announced Silverman's resignation from all positions he holds at Apollo and its subsidiaries, affiliates and portfolio companies, effective on March 15, 2012.

"We wish Henry well, and we thank him for his many contributions through the years," said Smith.

In early February 2012, the Company completed a refinancing transaction that resulted in the issuance of $593 million of 7.625% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2020 and $325 million of 9.00% New First and a Half Lien Notes due 2020, the proceeds of which were used to retire outstanding indebtedness.

"We had $918 million of debt maturing in 2013 that we were able to refinance, extending those maturities to 2020," said Anthony E. Hull, Realogy's chief financial officer. "As a result of this proactive transaction, which was well received in the financial markets, we have no substantial corporate debt maturities until 2016."

Looking at Realogy's core business drivers, Realogy Franchise Group (RFG) had a year-over-year 1% decrease in homesale transaction sides and NRT, the company-owned brokerage unit, was flat year-over-year. Average homesale price was flat at RFG and decreased 2% at NRT for the year ended 2011 as compared to 2010, largely from a shift in our business to more sales of comparatively lower-priced homes. Cartus experienced a 3% increase in relocation initiations and a 4% increase in broker referrals, while Title Resource Group experienced a 1% decrease in purchase title and closing units and a 2% increase in the average price per closing unit along with a 1% increase in refinance title and closing units.

“We anticipate first quarter 2012 homesales to increase at a high single-digit pace, and average sales price to be modestly down year-over-year as indicated by our preliminary January and February results,” said Hull. "The trend we are seeing currently is that in many of our markets, home affordability, particularly for first-time buyers, is driving activity at the lower end of the housing market. Assuming continuation of favorable employment trends and rising consumer confidence, we are encouraged about the prospects for 2012.”

Balance Sheet Information and Covenant Compliance as of December 31, 2011

The Company ended the year with $101 million of readily available cash and $175 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility under its senior secured credit agreement.

A consolidated balance sheet is included as Table 2 of this press release.

As noted above, Realogy refinanced $918 million of debt maturing in 2013 by issuing two series of senior secured notes maturing in 2020. With the proceeds from this transaction, Realogy retired $629 million of first lien term debt and terminated it commitments under its $289 million non-extended revolver. As of February 27, 2012, the Company had $55 million outstanding under its $363 million extended revolving credit facility due 2016 and had available capacity of $227 million (net of outstanding letters of credit). The Company expects substantially all of the current borrowings to be repaid by the end of the March, but consistent with past experience expects to borrow additional funds in April principally to fund interest payments.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company's senior secured leverage ratio (SSLR) was 4.44 to 1, or 3.87 to 1 after giving pro forma effect to the February 2012 bond offering and the application of the proceeds, below the 4.75 to 1 maximum ratio required to be in compliance with its senior secured credit agreement. The SSLR is determined by dividing Realogy's senior secured net debt of $2.5 billion at December 31, 2011 (or $2.2 billion on a pro forma basis) by the Company's Adjusted EBITDA of $571 million for the four quarters ended December 31, 2011. (Please see Table 8 for the definition of non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Tables 6 and 7 for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure, net loss attributable to Realogy.)


Investor Webcast

Realogy will hold a Webcast to review its 2011 results on February 27 at 4:00 p.m. (EST). The call will be hosted by Richard A. Smith, president and CEO, and Anthony E. Hull, executive vice president, CFO and treasurer. The conference call, together with corresponding slides, will be made available live via Webcast on the Investor Information section of the Realogy website. A replay of the Webcast also will be available on the website from February 28 through March 6. Realogy plans to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 later this week.

_______________
 
 
(a)
Consists of $11 million of restructuring costs and $1 million of merger costs offset by a benefit of $15 million of former parent legacy items.
(b)
Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in subsequent periods due to restructuring activities initiated during 2011. From this restructuring, we expect to reduce our operating costs by approximately $21 million on a twelve-month run-rate basis and estimate that $10 million of such savings were realized from the time they were put in place. The adjustment shown represents the impact the savings would have had on the period from January 1, 2011 through the time they were put in place, had those actions been effected on January 1, 2011.
(c)
Represents the twelve-month pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives that have been completed to reduce costs, including $1 million related to our Relocation Services integration costs and acquisition related non-cash adjustments, $6 million related to vendor renegotiations, $41 million for employee retention accruals and $4 million of other initiatives. The employee retention accruals reflect the employee retention plans that have been implemented in lieu of our customary bonus plan, due to the ongoing and prolonged downturn in the housing market in order to ensure the retention of executive officers and other key personnel, principally within our corporate services unit and the corporate offices of our four business units.
(d)
Represents the elimination of non-cash expenses, including $7 million of stock-based compensation expense and $4 million of other items less $7 million for the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes reserves from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.
(e)
Reflects the adjustment for the negative impact of fair value adjustments for purchase accounting at the operating business segments primarily related to deferred rent.


Realogy Reports Results for Full Year 2011                                Page11

(f)
Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions and new franchisees as if they had been acquired or signed on January 1, 2011. Franchisee sales activity is comprised of new franchise agreements as well as growth acquired by existing franchisees with our assistance. We have made a number of assumptions in calculating such estimate and there can be no assurance that we would have generated the projected levels of EBITDA had we owned the acquired entities or entered into the franchise contracts as of January 1, 2011.
(g)
Represents the elimination of annual management fees payable to Apollo for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.
(h)
Reflects the incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization facilities refinancing for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.
(i)
Represents total borrowings under the senior secured credit facility which are secured by a first priority lien on our assets of $2,626 million plus $11 million of capital lease obligations less $101 million of readily available cash as of December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the senior secured credit facility, senior secured net debt does not include First and a Half Lien Notes, Second Lien Loans, other indebtedness that is secured by a lien that is pari passu or junior to the First and a Half Lien Notes or securitization obligations.
(j)
Reflects the proceeds of $918 million from the issuance of $593 million of First Lien Notes and $325 million of New First and a Half Lien Notes offset by the payment of $629 million of non-extended term loan borrowings, $78 million of borrowings under the non-extended revolving credit facility and $211 million of additional readily available cash.

Definitions
EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest (income) expense, net (other than relocation services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations) and income taxes. EBITDA before restructuring and other items is defined by us as EBITDA adjusted for merger costs, restructuring costs, former parent legacy cost (benefit) items, net, and (gain) loss on the early extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA is presented to demonstrate our compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant in the senior secured credit facility. We present EBITDA, EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe EBITDA, EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Adjusted EBITDA are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our results of operations. Our management, including our chief operating decision maker, use EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items as a factor in evaluating the performance of our business. EBITDA, EBITDA before restructuring and other items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We believe EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net interest expense), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the amortization of intangibles, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. We believe EBITDA before restructuring and other items also facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out those items in EBITDA as well as certain historical cost (benefit) items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. We further believe that EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an EBITDA measure when reporting their results.
EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider EBITDA or EBITDA before restructuring and other items either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirement for, our working capital needs;
these measures do not reflect our interest expense (except for interest related to our securitization obligations), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
these measures do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
these measures do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies may calculate these measures differently so they may not be comparable.
Adjusted EBITDA as used herein corresponds to the definition of “EBITDA,” calculated on a “pro forma basis,” used in the senior secured credit facility to calculate the senior secured leverage ratio.
Like EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. In addition to the limitations described above with respect to EBITDA and EBITDA before restructuring and other items, Adjusted EBITDA includes pro forma cost savings, the pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives and the pro forma full year effect of acquisitions and new franchisees. These adjustments may not reflect the actual cost savings or pro forma effect recognized in future periods.
