Record 2025 results as Frontdoor (NASDAQ: FTDR) lifts margin outlook

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Frontdoor, Inc. reported record full-year 2025 results with revenue of $2.093 billion, up 14%, helped by the 2-10 acquisition and growth in non-warranty services. Gross profit margin expanded 150 basis points to 55%, and net income rose to $255 million, a 9% increase.

Adjusted EBITDA grew 25% to $553 million, while Free Cash Flow increased 69% to $390 million. The company repurchased $280 million of shares in 2025. For 2026, it guides revenue of $2.155–$2.195 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $565–$580 million, implying an Adjusted EBITDA margin of about 26%.

Positive

• Strong full-year growth: 2025 revenue rose 14% to $2.093 billion, net income increased 9% to $255 million, and Adjusted EBITDA grew 25% to $553 million, indicating broad-based improvement in scale and profitability.
• Robust cash flow and capital returns: Free Cash Flow increased 69% to $390 million, and the company used $280 million to repurchase shares in 2025 while maintaining $566 million of cash at year-end.

Negative

• Soft fourth quarter earnings: Q4 2025 net income fell to $1 million, an 84% decline from $9 million a year earlier, even though quarterly revenue grew 13% to $433 million.
• Flat membership and slightly lower retention: The number of home warranties was 2.11 million as of December 31 2025 versus 2.12 million a year earlier, and the customer retention rate edged down from 79.9% to 79.2%.

Insights

Equity analyst

Record 2025 growth, strong cash generation and higher margin targets look fundamentally constructive.

Frontdoor delivered double-digit top-line and profit growth in 2025. Revenue rose 14% to $2.093 billion, while Adjusted EBITDA climbed 25% to $553 million, driven by higher volume, modest pricing and a richer mix of non-warranty offerings.

Cash generation strengthened meaningfully: Free Cash Flow increased 69% to $390 million and operating cash flow reached $416 million. Management deployed $280 million to repurchase stock and still ended 2025 with $566 million in cash against $1.144 billion of long-term debt.

Guidance suggests continued momentum, with 2026 revenue targeted at $2.155–$2.195 billion and Adjusted EBITDA at $565–$580 million and roughly 26% margin. Risks include an 84% year-over-year decline in fourth-quarter net income to $1 million and slightly lower customer retention of 79.2%, but the full-year trajectory and higher long-term margin outlook appear solidly positive.

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 and integration 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; acquisition and integration costs; 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 2025 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

-6-

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.

(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 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.
