CoStar Group Second Quarter 2021 Revenue Increases 21% Year-over-Year, Visitors to CoStar Group Marketplaces up over 45% Year-over-Year

CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), the leading provider of commercial real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces, announced today that revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $480 million, an increase of 21% over revenue of $397 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $61 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2021 (which excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and other items as described below) was $103 million or $0.26 per diluted share, an increase of $15 million or 16% versus the second quarter of 2020.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was $133 million, an increase of 22% versus EBITDA of $109 million for the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration related costs and other items as described below) for the second quarter of 2021 was $150 million, an increase of 17% compared to adjusted EBITDA of $129 million for the second quarter of 2020.

“We saw incredibly strong performance across all of our businesses in the second quarter, with total revenue and profit ahead of forecast and the total numbers of visitors to our platforms up over 45% year-over-year,” said Andrew C. Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “CoStar Group net new bookings in the second quarter of 2021 increased 47% over the second quarter of 2020 to $51 million. CoStar Suite net new bookings were the strongest in years, up over 900% year-over-year and 19% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter.”

“Apartments.com set a new traffic record with network visitors up 30% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2021, which resulted in a 57% year-over-year increase in leads to our customers. Total leads generated by Apartments.com are up over 120% since 2018,” continued Florance. “During the second quarter of 2021, our most economical ad packages generated more leads than our top-level packages were generating just a year ago. Without significant price increases during the pandemic, our effective price per lead dropped dramatically. This caused net new bookings in Apartments.com to fall from the record high levels achieved in the second quarter of 2020. Moving forward, we intend to adjust pricing to reflect the strength of our dramatically higher lead flows, which we believe will accelerate net new bookings.”

“LoopNet Signature Ad revenue grew 71% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2021 while unique visitors to our LoopNet network increased 33%,” stated Florance. “Ten-X revenue increased over 40% year-over-year on a proforma basis in the second quarter of 2021, as we are seeing increased volume of assets and higher value assets sold through our platform. Homesnap also performed very well in the second quarter of 2021, with total revenue growth up 50% year-over-year on a proforma basis, and total agent subscribers expanding 80% to over 63,000 at the end of the second quarter.”

“With great momentum in our core business, we are focused on significantly expanding our total addressable market by leveraging our strengths into the digitization of residential real estate and into international markets. We are committed to accelerating future growth, as evidenced by the acquisition of Homes.com in May of this year; the steps we have taken to improve that experience for sellers, buyers and real estate agents; and our planned investment in residential technology and content in the second half of 2021,” concluded Florance.

__________________________  

(1) Prior period amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the ten-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend in June 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $3.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments and outstanding debt of approximately $987 million.

2021 Outlook

The Company is increasing its revenue guidance for the full year of 2021 to a new range of $1.940 billion to $1.950 billion, representing growth of approximately 17% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range. Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 is expected to be in the range of $495 million to $500 million, representing revenue growth of approximately 17% over the third quarter of 2020 at the midpoint of the range.

The Company is lowering its adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year of 2021 to a new range of $605 million to $615 million to reflect the expected negative EBITDA results of Homes.com and planned investments to integrate and develop the residential marketplace. The revised adjusted EBITDA guidance represents growth of approximately 10% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range. For the third quarter of 2021, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA in a range of $130 million to $135 million.

The Company is lowering its non-GAAP net income per diluted share guidance for full-year 2021 to a new range of $1.04 to $1.06 per share based on 395 million shares. For the third quarter of 2021, we expect non-GAAP net income per diluted share in a range of $0.22 to $0.23 per share based on 395 million shares. These ranges include an estimated non-GAAP tax rate of 25% for the full year and the third quarter of 2021.

The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group’s expectations as of July 27, 2021, including forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis, based on current estimates, expectations, observations, and trends. Given the risk factors, rapidly evolving economic environment, and uncertainties and assumptions discussed in this release and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, including uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and responses to it by, and the impact on, global economies and the commercial real estate industry, actual results may differ materially. Other than in publicly available statements, the Company does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement.

Reconciliation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share to their GAAP basis results are shown in detail below, along with definitions for those terms. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, can be found within the tables included in this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, please refer to the Company’s latest periodic report.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group before interest (expense) income and other (expense) income, loss on debt extinguishment, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense, acquisition- and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, and settlements and impairments incurred outside the Company’s normal course of business.

Non-GAAP net income is a non-GAAP financial measure determined by adjusting GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group for stock-based compensation expense, acquisition- and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, settlement and impairment costs incurred outside the Company's normal course of business and loss on debt extinguishment, as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets and other related costs, and then subtracting an assumed provision for income taxes. In 2021, the Company is assuming a 25% tax rate in order to approximate our statutory corporate tax rate excluding the impact of discrete items.

Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents non-GAAP net income divided by the number of diluted shares outstanding for the period used in the calculation of GAAP net income per diluted share. For periods with GAAP net losses and non-GAAP net income, the weighted average outstanding shares used to calculate non-GAAP net income per share includes potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the calculation of GAAP net income per share as the effect was anti-dilutive.

Earnings Conference Call

Management will conduct a conference call to discuss second quarter 2021 results and the Company’s outlook at 5:00 PM EDT on Tuesday, July 27, 2021. A live audio webcast of the conference will be available in listen-only mode through the Investors section of the CoStar Group website: https://investors.costargroup.com. A replay of the webcast audio will also be available in the Investors section of our website for a period of time following the call.
