Zillow Group Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Q1 results met or exceeded pre-COVID-19 outlook;
Customer signals show real estate’s resiliency as people still shopping and moving
SEATTLE – May 7, 2020 – Zillow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:Z) (NASDAQ:ZG), which is transforming the way people buy, sell, rent and finance homes, today announced its consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The company’s consolidated quarterly revenue grew by 148% year over year, driven by increasing Zillow Offers sales velocity and strong performance in the Premier Agent business, despite headwinds in March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Complete financial results and outlook for the second quarter of 2020 can be found in our shareholder letter and in the investor relations section of Zillow Group’s website at https://investors.zillowgroup.com/investors/financials/quarterly-results/default.aspx.
“During Q1, we learned the true value of home. We also learned real estate is resilient as we’re seeing clear signals that people are still shopping for homes and want to move,” said Rich Barton, CEO and co-founder of Zillow Group. “Our Q1 results met or beat our outlook on all measures despite some volatility in the second half of March. We started the year strong, coming off a solid 2019 and ended the first quarter with an even stronger balance sheet, including a record cash balance. There is light on the horizon, and we’re well positioned to move faster to the future, offering our customers and partners innovative products and services, such as our proprietary 3D Home Tours, to enable seamless and safe transactions in a more virtual world. The virtual tools home shoppers need for safety today will become their expectations for convenience tomorrow.”
First quarter 2020 highlights include:
•Total consolidated revenue grew 148% year over year to $1.1 billion.
•Segment loss before income taxes was $41.5 million, $98 million and $13.1 million for the IMT, Homes and Mortgages segments, respectively.
•Adjusted EBITDA beat company expectations for all three segments.
•The company exited the quarter with a strong balance sheet, growing cash and investments to $2.6 billion from $2.4 billion as of the end of 2019.
•Premier Agent year-over-year revenue growth accelerated to 11% from 6% in Q4 2019 driven by strategy execution to connect our customers with high-performing partners.
•Homes segment revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outperformed company expectations significantly, delivering nearly $770 million in revenue. The company achieved the highest sales velocity since Zillow Offers launched.*
•During the quarter, the company sold 2,394 homes and purchased 1,479 homes through Zillow Offers, ending Q1 with 1,791 homes in inventory, intentionally down from 2,707 homes at the end of the fourth quarter.
•Traffic to Zillow Group’s mobile apps and websites reached 192.5 million average monthly unique users, an increase of 6% year over year, driving 2.1 billion visits during the quarter.
*Monthly sales velocity is calculated by dividing the number of homes sold in a given calendar month by the number of homes held in inventory as of the beginning of such calendar month. Quarterly sales velocity is calculated by averaging the monthly sales velocities during a given quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA in total and for each segment, each a non-GAAP financial measure. We have provided a reconciliation within this earnings release of Adjusted EBITDA in total to net loss and Adjusted EBITDA by segment to loss before income taxes for each segment, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by our management and board of directors to measure operating performance and trends and to prepare and approve our annual budget. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA in total and for each segment has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation;
▪Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment costs;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or other income;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income taxes; and
▪Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA in total and for each segment alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, loss before income taxes for each segment and our other GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Net Loss per Share
Our presentation of non-GAAP net loss per share excludes the impact of share-based compensation expense, impairment costs and income taxes. This measure is not a key metric used by our management and board of directors to measure operating performance or otherwise manage the business. However, we provide non-GAAP net loss per share as supplemental information to investors, as we believe the exclusion of share-based compensation expense, impairment costs and income taxes facilitates investors’ operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. You should not consider non-GAAP net loss per share in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Non-GAAP Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense
To provide investors with additional information regarding our Zillow Offers financial results, this Exhibit includes a calculation of Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have provided a reconciliation of Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is average gross profit per home for the Zillow Offers business.
We believe that Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense is a useful financial measure to investors as it is one of the primary measures used by management in making investment decisions, measuring unit level economics and evaluating operating performance for the Zillow Offers business. The measure is intended to convey the unit level economics of homes sold during the period by presenting the average revenue and associated expenses directly attributed to the homes sold. We believe this average per unit measure facilitates meaningful period over period comparisons notwithstanding variability in the number of homes sold during a period and indicates ability to generate average returns on assets sold after considering home purchase costs, renovation costs, holding costs and selling costs.
We calculate the average return on homes sold after interest expense as revenue associated with homes sold during the period less direct costs attributable to those homes divided by the number of homes sold during the period. Specifically, direct costs include, with respect to each home sold during the period (1) home acquisition and renovation costs, which in turn include certain labor costs directly associated with these activities; (2) holding and selling costs; and (3) interest costs incurred.
Included in direct holding and interest expense amounts for the periods presented are holding and interest costs recorded as period expenses in prior periods associated with homes sold in the presented period, which are not calculated in accordance with, or as an alternative for, GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under GAAP. Excluded from certain of these direct cost amounts are costs recorded in the presented period related to homes that remain in inventory at the end of the period, as shown in the tables below. We make these period adjustments because we believe presenting Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense in this manner provides a focused view on a subset of our assets - homes sold during the period - and reflecting costs associated with those homes sold from the time we acquire to the time we sell the home, which may be useful to investors.
Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense is intended to illustrate the performance of homes sold during the period and is not intended to be a segment or company performance metric. Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense is a
supplemental measure of operating performance for a subset of assets and has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense does not reflect capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
•Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation;
•Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense does not include period costs that were not eligible for inventory capitalization associated with homes held in inventory at the end of the period;
•Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense does not reflect indirect expenses included in cost of revenue, sales and marketing, technology and development, or general and administrative expenses, some of which are recurring cash expenditures necessary to operate the business; and
•Average Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense does not reflect income taxes.
On a GAAP basis, Zillow Offers average gross profit per home was $16,113 and $14,621, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
