Realogy Corporation reported financial results for the first quarter of 2008. Net revenue totaled $1.05 billion, EBITDA was $4 million, and net loss was $132 million due mainly to interest expense of $164 million. Home sale transaction sides declined 25% at RFG and 27% at NRT compared to the first quarter of 2007. However, Realogy remained in compliance with debt covenants as its senior secured leverage ratio of 4.2x was well below the allowable ratio of 5.6x. Realogy also highlighted strategic accomplishments including franchise sales growth and retention of sales associates.

REALOGY REPORTS RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER 2008
First Quarter 2008 Net Revenue of $1.05 Billion
First Quarter 2008 EBITDA of $4 Million and Net Loss of $132 Million
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of 4.2x, Well Within 5.6x Allowable Ratio
PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 14, 2008 - Realogy Corporation, a global provider of real estate and relocation services, today reported
results for the first quarter 2008. Specifically, first quarter 2008 net revenue totaled $1.05 billion; EBITDA was $4 million, modestly
above the Company’s earlier guidance; and net loss was $132 million, due mainly to interest expense of $164 million.
“The first quarter of any year is historically our slowest from an earnings perspective almost entirely due to the seasonality of the
residential real estate market,” said Richard A. Smith, Realogy’s president and CEO. “We still have most of our annual EBITDA
opportunity in front of us and, of course, that’s where our focus lies.”
Smith continued, “Realogy’s first quarter 2008 operating results reflected the continued industry-wide slowdown in U.S. existing
home sales but were partially offset by management’s focus on overhead, productivity and growth. In April, we saw some early
indications that the improving year-over-year unit change trends being forecasted by the National Association of Realtors and Fannie
Mae in the back half of 2008 may be starting to develop. While we expect to see some mixed results in the coming months, we are
encouraged by these positive signs of activity in April.”
Consistent with the first-quarter reports issued by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and Fannie Mae, year-over-year home
sale transaction sides declined by 25 percent at the Realogy Franchise Group (RFG) and by 27 percent at NRT, the Company’s owned
brokerage unit, during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. As of March
2008, NAR’s reported seasonally adjusted annualized home sales unit number has remained constant at 4.9 to 5.0 million units for the
past five months.
For the first quarter of 2008, RFG’s average home sales price decreased 7 percent and NRT’s average home sale price declined 1
percent compared to the same period in 2007. These price declines were driven by a number of factors, including overall market
conditions and, as it relates to NRT, a relatively minor shift in the mix of property transactions from the high range to lower- and
middle-range homes.
At Cartus, the Company’s relocation services segment, relocation initiations increased 6 percent in the first quarter. This comes as a
result of contract expansions and new client signings in late 2007. Cartus’ referral volume declined by 22 percent, which tracks
similarly to the volume declines experienced by RFG and NRT.
6. Realogy Reports Results for First Quarter 2008
Page 2 of 10
Title Resource Group (TRG), the Company’s title and settlement services unit, benefitted from a refinance unit volume increase of 16
percent in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. This was offset by a 25 percent decline in purchase title and
closing units, which is in line with the sales volume declines experienced at NRT.
“Despite the current real estate market and general economic downturn, our positive, long-term view remains intact,” said Smith.
“Housing and housing growth are fundamental to our national economy. Moreover, we believe that Realogy’s size, scale and strong
franchise brands, along with increasing efficiencies and new initiatives put in place across all of our businesses, will enable us to
capitalize on the recovery, which is inevitable.”
Strategic and Operational Accomplishments
The Company highlighted the following accomplishments for the first quarter 2008:
Net domestic franchise sales for Realogy’s leading brands CENTURY 21 ®, Coldwell Banker®, Coldwell Banker
•
Commercial®, ERA ® and Sotheby’s International Realty® totaled $97 million in gross commission income (GCI) for the
first quarter of 2008, a year-over-year increase of 13 percent.
• Attesting to the resiliency of its exceptional franchisees and brands, RFG’s attrition of GCI due to lost franchisees was
limited to $219 million over the 12 months ended March 31, 2008 compared to growth of $1.2 billion of GCI from new
franchise sales and an aggregate of $6.8 billion of GCI generated by RFG’s third-party franchisees during that same period.
The Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate brand is on schedule to become operational in July 2008. Since October
•
2007, Realogy has assembled a top-notch management team and built a strong offering of values around one of the best
trademarks in residential real estate. There continues to be strong interest from brokers around the nation, and we are
building a pipeline of prospective franchisees who are interested in affiliating their companies with this brand.
• NRT was named as the No. 1 residential real estate brokerage company in the nation by REAL Trends magazine for the
11 th consecutive year, in both the transaction rankings by sales volume and transaction sides.
• NRT retained more of its strong team of sales associates in the first quarter of 2008 than it did during the same period last
year as retention of its top two quartiles of productive sales associates topped 92%, an improvement of approximately 100
basis points.
• Cartus continued its very impressive new client signings, earning contracts with Accenture LLP, Rolls-Royce International,
Louis Dreyfus Corp and other leading firms in the first quarter. In addition to Cartus’ strong new business development
pipeline, it also has a significant number of existing clients who are expanding their agreements to include additional
services, including clients such as Daimler Financial, Jones Lang LaSalle, and GTECH.

• Title Resource Group continued to grow its lender channel business as a provider of settlement services for three of the top
10 national lenders. TRG experienced 50% growth in refinance closing volume during the first quarter of 2008 with
lenders using its Mail Away Closing product.
Covenant Compliance
As of March 31, 2008, the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio was 4.2 to 1. This is 140 basis points below the maximum 5.6 to
1 ratio permitted for Realogy to be in compliance under its Credit Agreement. The senior secured leverage ratio is determined by
taking Realogy’s senior secured net debt of $3.2 billion at March 31, 2008 and dividing it by the Company’s combined Adjusted
EBITDA of $768 million for the 12 months ended March 31, 2008. (Please see Table 4 for a reconciliation of combined net loss to
Combined Adjusted EBITDA and Table 5 for the definition of non-GAAP financial measures.)

(d) Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in subsequent periods due to restructuring activities
initiated during the year ended December 31, 2007. From this restructuring, we expect to reduce our operating costs by
approximately $58 million on a twelve month run-rate basis and estimate that $22 million of such savings were realized from the
time they were put in place (primarily in the fourth quarter of 2007) through March 31, 2008. The adjustment shown represents
the impact the savings would have had on the period from April 1, 2007 through the time they were put in place, had those
actions been effected on April 1, 2007.
(e) Represents actual costs incurred that are not expected to recur in subsequent periods due to restructuring activities
initiated during the first quarter of 2008. From this restructuring, we expect to reduce our operating costs by approximately $15
million on a twelve month run-rate basis and estimate that none of such savings were realized in the first quarter of 2008. The
adjustment shown represents the impact the savings would have had on the period from April 1, 2007 through the time they
were put in place, had those actions been effected on April 1, 2007.

(f) Represents the twelve month pro forma effect of business optimization initiatives that have been completed to reduce costs
including: (i) the elimination of the 401(k) employer match; (ii) the renegotiation of an NRT marketing contract; and (iii) the
exit of the government at-risk homesale business.
(g) Represents the elimination of non-cash expenses including $35 million for the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts
and reserve for development advance notes and promissory notes from April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008, $6 million of
stock based compensation expense, $1 million for foreign exchange hedges.
(h) Reflects the adjustment for the negative impact of $19 million of fair value adjustments for purchase accounting at the operating
business segments primarily related to deferred revenue, referral fees, insurance accruals and at-risk homes for the twelve
months ended March 31, 2008.
(i) Represents the estimated impact of acquisitions made by NRT and RFG acquisitions and new franchisees as if they had been
acquired or signed on April 1, 2007. 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 combined EBITDA had we owned the acquired entities or
entered into the franchise contracts as of April 1, 2007.
(j) Represents the add-back of annual management fees payable to Apollo for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008.
(k) Wright Express Corporation (“WEX”) was divested by Cendant in February 2005 through an initial public offering (“IPO”). As
a result of such IPO, the tax basis of WEX’s tangible and intangible assets increased to their fair market value which may reduce
federal income tax that WEX might otherwise be obligated to pay in future periods. WEX is required to pay Cendant 85% of
any tax savings related to the increase in fair value utilized for a period of time that we expect will be beyond the maturity of the
notes. Cendant is required to pay 62.5% of these tax savings payments received from WEX to us.
(l) Incremental borrowing costs incurred as a result of the securitization facilities refinancing for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2008.
(m) Represents total borrowings under the senior secured credit facility, including the revolving credit facility, of $3,192 million
plus $43 million of capital lease obligations less $2 million of readily available cash as of March 31, 2008.

Table 5
Definitions
EBITDA is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest (income) expense, net (other than relocation
services interest for securitization assets and securitization obligations), income taxes and minority interest. Combined EBITDA is
calculated in the same manner as EBITDA but is based on the combined results for the last twelve months. Combined Adjusted
EBITDA is calculated by adjusting Combined EBITDA by the items described above. We believe Combined EBITDA and Combined
Adjusted EBITDA are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides
greater transparency into our consolidated and combined results of operations. Combined EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA
are measures used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to perform such evaluation, and are factors in
measuring compliance with debt covenants relating to certain of our borrowing arrangements. Combined EBITDA and Combined
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our presentation of Combined EBITDA and Combined
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Combined
EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is included in the table above.
We believe Combined EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA facilitate company-to-company operating performance
comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net interest expense), taxation
and the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), 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.
Combined EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled financial measures of
other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. In addition, Combined Adjusted EBITDA as
presented in this table corresponds to the definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” used in the senior secured credit facility to calculate the
senior secured leverage ratio and substantially corresponds to the definition of “EBITDA” used in the indentures governing the notes
to test the permissibility of certain types of transactions, including debt incurrence.
Combined EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them
either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
• these EBITDA measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirement for, our working capital needs;
• these EBITDA 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 EBITDA measures do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
• Combined Adjusted EBITDA includes pro forma cost savings and the pro forma twelve month effect of NRT acquisitions
and RFG acquisitions/new franchisees as well as the pro forma twelve month effect of certain cost cutting and business
optimization activities. These adjustments may not reflect the actual cost savings or pro forma effect recognized in future
periods;
• these EBITDA 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 have to
be replaced in the future, and these EBITDA measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
• other companies in our industry may calculate these EBITDA measures differently so they may not be comparable.
