CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information and analytics in the property markets, announced today that revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $557 million, an increase of 12% over revenue of $499 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $72 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2022 (which excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and other items as described below) was $118 million or $0.30 per diluted share, an increase of 19% compared to the third quarter of 2021. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was $129 million.

“We delivered outstanding results across all of our business lines in the third quarter, with Apartments.com leading the way” said Andrew C. Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “Net new bookings totaled $76 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 62% over the third quarter of 2021. Year-to-date our sales results have already exceeded the net new bookings for the full year 2021, and we still have one quarter left to go. Both revenue and profit in the third quarter of 2022 were at or above the high end of our guidance range and we are raising our forecast for the year.”

“Apartments.com sales continue to accelerate,” continued Florance. “Our Apartments.com sales team delivered record sales in September, bringing our net new bookings to $90 million on a year-to-date basis in 2022, an increase of 192% compared to the same period of 2021. Revenue growth for Apartments.com accelerated to 11% in the third quarter, and we now expect revenue growth of 16% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Revenue growth for CoStar was even stronger with a 17% increase in the third quarter 2022 over third quarter 2021 on a constant currency basis.”

2022 Outlook

The Company is raising its revenue guidance to a range of $2.175 billion to $2.180 billion for the full year of 2022, an increase of $5 million at the midpoint of the range compared to the prior outlook. The Company expects revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 in the range of $565 million to $570 million, representing revenue growth of approximately 12% over the fourth quarter of 2021 at the midpoint of the range.

The Company is raising its adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $665 million to $670 million for the full year of 2022, an increase of $48 million at the midpoint of the range compared to the prior outlook. For the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA in a range of $176 million to $181 million.

“Our financial results in the third quarter and improved 2022 revenue outlook demonstrate the strength of our products and resilience of our subscription-based business model,” said Scott Wheeler, Chief Financial Officer of CoStar Group. “We are making great progress with our Residential investment strategy while managing investment levels well below our initial estimates. This results in our improved profit outlook for 2022.”

The Company expects full year 2022 non-GAAP net income per diluted share in a range of $1.25 to $1.26 based on 397 million shares, an increase of $0.15 per diluted share compared to the prior outlook. For the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share in a range of $0.35 to $0.36 based on 405 million shares. These ranges include an estimated non-GAAP tax rate of 26% for the full year and the fourth quarter of 2022.

The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group’s expectations as of October 25, 2022, 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, 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues for the period.

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 2022, the Company is assuming a 26% tax rate in order to approximate its 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.

Operating Metrics

Net new bookings is calculated based on the annualized amount of change in the Company's sales bookings resulting from new subscription-based contracts and changes to existing subscription-based contracts for the period reported. Information regarding net new bookings is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of the Company's revenues over time.

Earnings Conference Call

Management will conduct a conference call to discuss the third quarter 2022 results and the Company’s outlook at 5:00 PM EST on Tuesday, October 25, 2022. 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.
