ZILLOW GROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Results Reflect Significant Momentum in Homes Segment; Stabilization in Premier Agent Business
SEATTLE - August 7, 2019 - Zillow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: Z) (NASDAQ: ZG), which is transforming how people buy, sell, rent, and finance homes, today announced its consolidated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The company reported 84% year-over-year growth in total consolidated quarterly revenue, driven by demand for Zillow Offers as the company continues to accelerate growth into new markets.
Complete financial results and outlook can be found in the investor relations section of Zillow Group’s website at https://investors.zillowgroup.com/financials/quarterly-results/default.aspx.
“Our second quarter results reflect the momentum we are seeing across our businesses,” said Rich Barton, co-founder and CEO of Zillow Group, Inc. “The demand signal for Zillow Offers is incredibly impressive as seen in the annualized revenue run rate going from zero to $1 billion in just a year¹. Our Premier Agent business is performing well, and our partnerships with the highest performing and most client-focused agents position us well to deliver a truly seamless transaction experience for home buyers and sellers. We’re in the early stages of a bold expansion of our company that opens up exciting opportunities for our customers, partners, shareholders and employees. We are uniquely advantaged by our brand awareness, audience size, technology, data science, industry partnerships, and operational know-how and are well on our way to rewire real estate.”
Recent highlights include:
Total Q2 consolidated revenue grew 84% year over year to $599.6 million, driven primarily by significant growth in the Homes segment.
Consumer awareness and demand for Zillow Offers is growing rapidly. More than 69,000 homeowners requested an offer from Zillow to purchase their home during Q2, up 94% sequentially from Q1.
The addition of seven Zillow Offers markets since the end of Q1: Dallas-Fort Worth; Minneapolis; Orlando; Portland, Ore.; Nashville, Tenn.; and Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, Colo.
Today, the company separately announced four new Zillow Offers markets expected to open in early to mid-2020: Cincinnati, Tucson, Ariz; Oklahoma City, and Jacksonville, Fla.
Expanded testing of the Flex monetization model, which allows Premier Agents to pay a success fee only when they close a transaction with a consumer lead, in lieu of paying for advertising up front.
Traffic to Zillow Group’s mobile apps and websites accelerated with more than 194 million average monthly unique users in Q2, an increase of 4% year over year, while visits reached a new high of nearly 2.2 billion, up 14% year over year.





______________________________
¹Homes segment annualized revenue run rate is calculated by multiplying Homes segment revenue for the quarter by four.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, statements regarding our operational plans for Zillow Offers, Premier Agent, Zillow Home Loans and other parts of our business in 2019 and 2020. Statements containing words such as “may,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “continue,” “outlook,” or similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Differences in Zillow Group’s actual results from those described in these forward-looking statements may result from actions taken by Zillow Group as well as from risks and uncertainties beyond Zillow Group’s control. Factors that may contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, Zillow Group’s ability to maintain and effectively manage an adequate rate of growth; Zillow Group’s ability to innovate and provide products and services that are attractive to its users and advertisers; Zillow Group’s ability to compete successfully against existing or future competitors; Zillow Group’s investment of resources to pursue strategies that may not prove effective; the impact of the real estate industry on Zillow Group’s business; the impact of pending litigation and other legal and regulatory matters; Zillow Group’s ability to increase awareness of the Zillow Group brands in a cost-effective manner; Zillow Group’s ability to attract consumers to Zillow Group’s mobile applications and websites; Zillow Group’s ability to successfully integrate and realize the benefits of our past or future strategic acquisitions or investments; the reliable performance of Zillow Group’s network infrastructure and content delivery processes; and Zillow Group’s ability to protect its intellectual property. The foregoing list of risks and uncertainties is illustrative, but is not exhaustive. For more information about potential factors that could affect Zillow Group’s business and financial results, please review the “Risk Factors” described in Zillow Group’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and in Zillow Group’s other filings with the SEC. Except as may be required by law, Zillow Group does not intend, and undertakes no duty to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is net loss on a consolidated basis and income (loss) before income taxes for each segment, within this earnings release.
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. The exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA 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:
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 acquisition-related 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 alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and income (loss) before income taxes and our other GAAP results. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per Share
Our presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) per share excludes the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related 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 income (loss) per share as supplemental information to investors, as we believe the exclusion of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs and income taxes facilitates investors’ operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. You should not consider non-GAAP income (loss) per share in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss), adjusted, to net loss, as reported on a GAAP basis, and the calculation of non-GAAP income (loss) per share - basic and diluted, for each of the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data, unaudited):

Non-GAAP Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense
To provide investors with additional information regarding our Homes segment financial results, this Exhibit includes a calculation of Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have provided a reconciliation of Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is loss before income taxes for the Homes segment.
We believe that 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 revenue and associated expenses directly attributed to the homes sold, both in total and on a per home basis. We believe this 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 returns on assets sold after considering home purchase costs, renovation costs, holding costs and selling costs.
We calculate Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense in total and on a per home basis as revenue associated with homes sold during the period less direct costs attributable to those homes. 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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 are holding and interest costs recorded as period expenses in prior periods associated with homes sold in the current period, which are not calculated in accordance with, or 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 current 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 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.
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. 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 Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense does not reflect capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation;
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;





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
Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense does not reflect income taxes.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Return on Homes Sold After Interest Expense alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, loss before income taxes and our other GAAP results.
On a GAAP basis, per home loss before income taxes for the Homes segment was $90,486 and $96,939 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
