CoStar Group First Quarter 2023 Revenue Increased 13% Year-over-Year and Net New Bookings Grew 17% to $80 Million

April 25, 2023

Apartments.com Climbs to 20% Revenue Growth

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, 2023 was $584 million, an increase of 13% over revenue of $516 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Net income was $87 million and net income per diluted share was $0.21 for the first quarter of 2023.

“CoStar Group delivered exceptional revenue, sales and marketplace traffic results in the first quarter against a backdrop of rising interest rates and continued disruption in the commercial and residential property markets,” said Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “Company-wide revenue grew 13% year-over-year, with Apartments.com delivering 20% revenue growth and LoopNet achieving 16% revenue growth in the first quarter.”

“Our expanded sales team delivered the second highest quarterly net new bookings in our history of $80 million, an increase of 17% over the first quarter of 2022. Apartments.com reached its highest sales quarter ever with a 110% increase in net new bookings over the prior year, and LoopNet increased net new bookings by 100% on a year-over-year basis,” continued Florance.

“We are very pleased with the progress we are making building the new Homes.com. When we acquired Homes.com in May of 2021, the site had six million unique visitors according to Google Analytics,” said Florance. “Traffic in March of 2023 to the Homes.com network surpassed 27 million unique monthly visitors. Sequentially, Homes.com’s unique visitors grew 41% in March over February of this year, and month to date in April Homes.com’s traffic has grown 53% sequentially over the same period in March.”

“Last year we communicated an initial traffic goal of 25 million unique visitors and an intermediate traffic goal of 50 million unique visitors,” continued Florance. “We are pleased to be crossing our initial goal and making great progress towards that intermediate goal. In March, we reached a new high of 94 million monthly unique visitors in total across Homes.com, Apartments.com, LoopNet, and the rest of our marketplaces. We believe that by focusing on building a great user experience, combined with the lower friction of our “your listing, your lead” business model, many home buyers are coming to prefer Homes.com.”

2023 Outlook

The Company now expects revenue in the range of $2.465 billion to $2.48 billion for the full year of 2023, representing growth of approximately 13% to 14% for the year. The Company expects revenue for the second quarter of 2023 in the range of $603 million to $608 million, representing revenue growth of approximately 13% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range.

The Company expects adjusted EBITDA in the range of $505 million to $520 million for the full year of 2023. For the second quarter of 2023, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA in the range of $118 million to $123 million.

The Company is raising its full year 2023 non-GAAP net income per diluted share outlook to reflect higher expected rates of return on investments. The new outlook range for non-GAAP net income per diluted share is $1.21 to $1.24 based on 407 million shares, an increase of $0.15 per diluted share compared to the prior outlook. For the second quarter of 2023, the Company expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share in a range of $0.29 to $0.30 based on 407 million shares. These ranges include an estimated non-GAAP tax rate of 26% for the full year and the second quarter of 2023.

The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group’s expectations as of April 25, 2023, 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.

Reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share to the most directly comparable GAAP measures 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 income or expense, net and other income or expense, net; 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 ordinary 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 ordinary 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 2023, 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, changes to existing subscription-based contracts and cancellations of 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 2023 results and the Company’s outlook at 5:00 PM ET on Tuesday, April 25, 2023. 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.
