CoStar Group First Quarter 2022 Revenue Increased 13% Year-over-Year and Net New Bookings Grew 31% to a Record $68 Million

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 March 31, 2022, was $516 million, an increase of 13% over revenue of $458 million for the first quarter of 2021.

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $89 million, an increase of 20% compared to net income of $74 million for the first quarter of 2021. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 was $158 million, an increase of 17% compared to EBITDA of $136 million for the first quarter of 2021.

“We are off to an outstanding start to 2022 with our best sales quarter ever,” said Andrew C. Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “Net new bookings totaled $68 million in the first quarter of 2022, up 31% over the first quarter of 2021. Our flagship product, CoStar, delivered three record sales quarters in a row and is growing 15% year-over-year. Both revenue and profit in the first quarter of 2022 were ahead of forecast and we are raising our guidance for the year.”

“Apartments.com sales are rebounding as the first quarter sales increased 36% sequentially compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This is the result of improving market conditions and high sales productivity,” continued Florance. “We are making strong progress on our residential initiatives, with unique visitors to our residential sites growing approximately 125% from 6 million in the first quarter of 2021 to 14 million in the most recent quarter. Our fast growing residential operations increased revenue in the first quarter by 63% year-over-year to $18 million. Finally, we are very excited about joining forces with our French companies, BureauxLocaux and Business Immo, and their teams, which we believe will be key catalysts in building a successful Pan-European business."

The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group’s expectations as of April 26, 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, including uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and responses to it by, and the impact on, global economies and the 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. 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.

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 first quarter 2022 results and the Company’s outlook at 5:00 PM EST on Tuesday, April 26, 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.
