CENDANT REPORTS RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2005

Versus $540 million in 3Q 2004
Company Reassesses Impact of Recent Trends and Events on Future Results
New York, October 24, 2005 – Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD) today reported results for third quarter 2005. Revenue totaled $5.0 billion, an increase of 12% over third quarter 2004, reflecting growth in the Company’s core real estate and travel services businesses. EPS from Continuing Operations was $0.44 and Net Income was $514 million, versus $593 million in third quarter 2004. Disruptions in the global travel environment, primarily as a consequence of the hurricanes in the Gulf Coast, are estimated to have negatively impacted EPS by approximately $0.03.
Third Quarter 2005 Results of Core Operating Segments
The following discussion of operating results focuses on revenue and EBITDA for each of our core operating segments. Revenue and EBITDA are expressed in millions.
Real Estate Services
(Consisting of the Company’s real estate franchise brands, brokerage operations, relocation services and settlement services)
                         
    2005     2004     %change  
 
Revenue
  $ 2,068     $ 1,856       11 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 409     $ 379       8 %
 
Revenue and EBITDA increased due to growth in all of our real estate services businesses. Revenue growth at real estate franchise and NRT was driven principally by home price increases and tuck-in acquisitions at NRT. Home prices increased 15% at real estate franchise and 16% at NRT. Revenue generated by Cendant Mobility increased 9%, driven by higher fixed fee revenues and an overall increase in transaction fees, and revenue generated by Cendant Settlement Services Group increased 9%, due to growth in title and closing volumes.

 


 

Hospitality Services
(Consisting of the Company’s franchised lodging brands, timeshare exchange and vacation rental businesses)
                         
    2005     2004     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 404     $ 365       11 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 144     $ 131       10 %
 
Revenue and EBITDA increased due to growth in all of our hospitality services businesses. Revenue from our lodging business grew 12%, including a 7% increase in revenue per available room on an organic basis, the addition of Ramada International and continuing growth in our TripRewards loyalty program. Revenue from RCI, our timeshare exchange business, increased 3%, driven by a 5% increase in subscribers. Revenue from our vacation rental business increased 21%, due primarily to the acquisition of Canvas Holidays Limited in October 2004 as well as organic growth in our remaining vacation rental businesses of 9%.
Timeshare Resorts
(Consisting of the Company’s timeshare sales and development businesses)
                         
    2005     2004     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 484     $ 424       14 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 80     $ 80        
 
Revenue increased due to 10% growth in tour volume and a 6% increase in revenue per guest. Tour flow and revenue per guest were enhanced by our expansion in premium destinations including Hawaii, Las Vegas and Orlando and the opening of new sales offices. In addition, revenue and EBITDA were positively impacted by increased consumer financing income. EBITDA remained unchanged, year-over-year, due to $14 million of expenses resulting from the hurricanes in the Gulf Coast, which primarily include a provision for timeshare contract receivable losses and estimated costs to repair timeshare properties, some of which we expect will ultimately be recovered through insurance claims.
Vehicle Rental
(Consisting of the Company’s car and truck rental businesses)
                         
    2005     2004     % change  
 
Revenue
  $ 1,433     $ 1,243       15 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 183     $ 179       2 %
 
Revenue increased due to growth in our domestic and international car rental operations as well as our truck rental business. Car rental revenue grew 17% worldwide due to a 17% increase in rental day volume. EBITDA was negatively impacted by $10 million of expenses reflecting the effects of the hurricanes in the Gulf Coast, which primarily include the impairment of rental car assets, most of which we expect will ultimately be recovered through insurance claims. EBITDA was also negatively impacted by higher vehicle depreciation and other volume-related costs resulting from 14% growth in our rental fleet to support increased demand, the

2


 

absence of significant incentives from car manufacturers available in third quarter 2004 and increased fleet costs for model year 2006 vehicles. We initiated price increases in the second and third quarters of 2005 in order to attempt to partially offset the increased fleet costs as model year 2006 vehicles cycle into our inventory. To date, these price increases generally appear to be succeeding and we anticipate positive year-over-year pricing comparisons beginning in fourth quarter 2005, which should partially offset increased fleet costs.
Travel Distribution Services
(Consisting of electronic global distribution services for the travel industry, corporate and consumer online travel services, and travel agency services)
                         
    2005     2004     % change  
 
Revenue   $ 646     $ 437       48 %
 
EBITDA
  $ 160     $ 123       30 %
 
Revenue and EBITDA increased primarily due to growth in our online travel agency and other consumer travel businesses. The acquisitions of Orbitz, Gullivers and ebookers contributed $215 million of revenue and $46 million of EBITDA, despite costs incurred to integrate these businesses. The revenue and EBITDA contribution from acquisitions was partially offset by $14 million and $3 million, respectively, due to the transfer of our membership travel business to the discontinued Marketing Services division effective January 1, 2005. The integration of Orbitz is substantially complete and the integrations of ebookers and Gullivers remain on track for completion during 2006. Apart from these transactions, gross bookings at our online travel agencies increased 15% and these businesses also achieved higher margins. Revenue from GDS and Supplier Services grew 1%, driven primarily by a 5% increase in global GDS segments and increased hosting services and other revenue, which was partially offset by a decline in domestic air yield and subscriber fees.
Recent Achievements and Strategic Initiatives
During the third quarter, the Company made considerable progress toward its cash flow generation, share repurchase and dividend payment goals:
  Generated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $937 million and Free Cash Flow of $665 million. Year-to-date, the Company generated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of approximately $2.5 billion and Free Cash Flow of approximately $1.6 billion. For the full year 2005, the Company’s projection remains unchanged at more than $3 billion of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and $1.8 to $2.0 billion of Free Cash Flow.
 
  Utilized $558 million of cash for the repurchase of common stock ($521 million net of proceeds from option exercises). Year-to-date, the Company utilized $1.0 billion of cash for the repurchase of common stock ($790 million net of proceeds from option exercises). Fully diluted shares decreased by approximately 15 million from the second quarter 2005 amount.

3


 

  Utilized $117 million of cash to pay its quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share. Year-to-date, the Company utilized $309 million of cash to pay quarterly dividends.
In addition, the Company has:
  Completed the sale of its Marketing Services division for approximately $1.8 billion in total consideration, of which approximately $1.7 billion was in cash, net of estimated closing adjustments, and the balance was in preferred stock and warrants. The transaction is expected to result in a pretax gain in excess of $1.0 billion.
 
  Acquired the Wyndham hotel brand and franchise system, relating to more than 100 upscale, full-service lodging properties in major U.S., Mexican and Caribbean markets, for approximately $100 million in cash. The acquisition includes franchise agreements for 82 hotels and management contracts for 27 hotels, as well as the worldwide rights to the Wyndham brand for hotel and timeshare development.
Other Items
  Corporate and Other – As previously disclosed, third quarter 2004 EBITDA includes a $12 million credit related to the termination of a lease, which did not recur in 2005.
 
  Depreciation and Amortization – Third quarter 2005 results include $18 million of incremental depreciation and amortization related to the Orbitz, Gullivers and ebookers acquisitions.
 
  Interest Expense – As previously disclosed, third quarter 2004 interest expense includes interest income of $26 million related to a federal tax refund, which did not recur in third quarter 2005.
 
  Discontinued Operations – Includes income from the Company’s former Marketing Services Division and, in prior periods, results of operations of the Company’s former Jackson Hewitt, Wright Express, fleet and appraisal units, which have been disposed.
Outlook
Based upon current trends in the Company’s consumer-oriented travel businesses, EBITDA from core operating segments (excluding restructuring charges) is expected to increase approximately 14%, year-over-year, in fourth quarter 2005, as compared with our previous projected growth of approximately 25%.
President and Chief Financial Officer Ronald L. Nelson commented, “Several of our leisure travel units began to show signs of slowing growth during the third quarter. Although some of what we experienced can be directly attributed to the impact of terrorism, devastating hurricanes and higher gasoline prices, we also began to feel the

4


 

impact of, among other things, the slowdown in the rate of growth currently affecting all online travel businesses, as well as the ongoing channel shift to supplier sites, demand weakness in certain key markets in the global distribution business, and continued economic weakness in Europe.
“In addition, we combined our timeshare exchange business, RCI, and our Vacation Rental Group to create the new Vacation Network Group. This combination is expected to save the Company approximately $9 million annually, as well as broaden the marketing capability of our European travel business, but will result in severance and facility closing costs of approximately $0.01 per share in fourth quarter 2005.”
As a result of this restructuring and the slower growth noted above, the Company reduced its projection for fourth quarter 2005 EPS by $0.03 — $0.04, to a range of $0.23 — $0.26. This projection does not include any potential charges associated with the contemplated separation of the Company into four separately traded public companies announced this morning.
Mr. Nelson continued, “The effect of these items on 2006 is not yet clear. However, based upon the current trends noted above, together with increased fleet costs and higher interest cost in the rental car business, we preliminarily project revenue to grow by approximately 10% and EBITDA from core operating segments to grow by 11% — 13% in 2006 versus 2005, down from our previous estimate of 11% revenue growth and 19% EBITDA growth.”
The Company will not be providing specific EPS guidance for Cendant for 2006, as it is no longer relevant due to the contemplated separation of the Company into four separately traded public companies announced this morning. The Company expects to provide guidance for each of the proposed new companies at its 2006 Investor Day, currently planned for February 2, 2006. The Company updated its EPS projections for the remainder of 2005 as follows:
                 
    Fourth     Full  
    Quarter     Year  
2005 EPS from Continuing Operations before Transaction Related Charges(a)

2005 EPS from Continuing Operations(a) (b)

Excludes any potential charges associated with the contemplated separation of the Company into four separately traded public companies announced this morning.
 
(b)   Includes a non-cash impairment charge of $0.17 per share in connection with the spin-off of PHH and a $0.03 per share charge related to restructuring activities and other transaction related costs, both of which were recorded in first quarter 2005.

Any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results are forward-looking statements. The Company cannot provide any assurances that the contemplated separation or any of the proposed transactions related thereto will be completed, nor can it give assurances as to the terms on which such transactions will be consummated. The contemplated separation is subject to certain conditions precedent, including final approval by the Board of Directors of Cendant.
Various risks that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this press release include, but are not limited to: risks inherent in the contemplated separation and related transactions and borrowings and costs related to the proposed transactions; distraction of the Company and its management as a result of the proposed transactions; changes in business, political and economic conditions in the United States and in other countries in which Cendant and its companies currently do business; changes in governmental regulations and policies and actions of regulatory bodies; changes in operating performance; and access to capital

In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this press release may not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this press release. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements are specified in Cendant’s 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, including under headings such as “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

This press release also includes management’s estimate of EBITDA growth from core operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2006. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP measure would be “Net income.” Due to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the amounts that would be required to be included in this comparable GAAP measure, the Company is not providing an estimate of 2006 Net Income at this time.

(E)  
Includes a reduction to revenue and EBITDA growth of $486 million and $75 million, respectively, primarily related to the acquisitions of Orbitz, Inc. in November 2004, ebookers plc in February 2005, Gullivers Travel Associates in April 2005 and Flairview Travel in April 2004, partially offset by the transfer of the Company’s membership travel business to the discontinued Marketing Services division.

(A)  
Excludes $110 million and $100 million of intercompany royalties paid primarily by our NRT real estate brokerage business during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(B)  
We acquired the Ramada International Hotels and Resorts trademark on December 10, 2004. The 2004 drivers do not include RevPAR and Weighted Average Rooms Available of Ramada International. On a comparable basis (excluding Ramada International from the 2005 amounts), RevPAR would have increased 7% and Weighted Average Rooms Available would have decreased 4%.
(C)  
The 2005 amounts include the revenues of businesses acquired during or subsequent to third quarter 2004 and are therefore not comparable to the 2004 amounts.

(A)  
Includes supplier link and merchant hotel transactions not booked through the Galileo GDS system.
(B)  
We acquired Gullivers Travel Associates on April 1, 2005, ebookers plc on February 28, 2005 and Orbitz, Inc. on November 12, 2004. Revenue generated by these businesses prior to acquisition is not reflected in the revenue data presented herein and, therefore, the revenue data are not comparable. However, the online gross bookings and offline gross bookings data for third quarter 2004 have been adjusted to include aggregate bookings of approximately $1.3 billion and $135 million, respectively, by ebookers and Orbitz so as to present comparable driver data. The online gross bookings and offline gross bookings data for Gullivers have been reflected in the third quarter 2005 driver data (approximately $70 million and $300 million, respectively), but not in the third quarter 2004 driver data due to the absence of available driver data prior to our acquisition of Gullivers on April 1, 2005.
(C)  
We refer to this as our “Order Taker” business. Includes Galileo revenue of $375 million and $370 million for third quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(D)  
We refer to this as our “Order Maker” business, which is primarily comprised of Gullivers, ebookers, Orbitz, Flairview, Cheaptickets and Lodging.com.

Amounts presented herein exclude assets and liabilities under management programs.
(A)  
On October 17, 2005, we received approximately $1.7 billion of cash from the sale of our Marketing Services division. Approximately $1.2 billion of such cash has already been or will be used during October 2005 to repay the outstanding revolver and commercial paper borrowings. The Net Debt to Net Capitalization and Total Debt to Total Capitalization ratios after giving effect to the sale of the Marketing Services division and the utilization of $1.2 billion of those proceeds will be 19.2% and 23.6%, respectively.
(B)  
As of September 30, 2005, this balance represents $139 million of mark-to-market adjustments on current interest rate hedges, partially offset by $114 million of net gains resulting from the termination of interest rate hedges, which will be amortized by the Company to reduce future interest expense.
(C)  
See Table 9 for a description of this ratio.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

The accompanying press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, we have provided below the reasons we present these non-GAAP financial measures and a description of what they represent.

     
EBITDA
 
Represents income from continuing operations before non-program related depreciation and amortization, non-program related interest, amortization of pendings and listings, income taxes and minority interest. We believe that EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the aggregate performance of our operating businesses. EBITDA is the measure that is used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to perform such evaluation, and it is a factor in measuring performance in our incentive compensation plans. It is also a component of our financial covenant calculations under our credit facilities, subject to certain adjustments. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
 
   
 
For third quarter and year-to-date 2005 and 2004 amounts, a reconciliation of EBITDA to pretax income is included in Table 1 and a reconciliation of pretax income to net income is included in Table 2, both of which accompany this press release. For fourth quarter 2005 (projected) and 2004 amounts, a reconciliation of EBITDA to income from continuing operations is set forth below:

  $ 625 – 655     $ 575

(a)  
2005P amount includes $16 million of estimated restructuring costs incurred in connection with the combination of our timeshare exchange business, RCI, with our European vacation rental businesses.
(b)  
2004 amount includes a previously disclosed credit of $60 million relating to previously established liabilities for severance and other termination benefits.

 



     
Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio
 
Represents (i) net corporate debt (which reflects total corporate debt adjusted to assume the application of available cash to reduce outstanding indebtedness) divided by (ii) net capitalization (which reflects total capitalization also adjusted for the application of available cash). We believe that this ratio is useful in measuring the Company’s leverage and indicating the strength of its financial condition. We also believe that adjusting corporate debt to assume the application of available cash to reduce outstanding indebtedeness eliminates the effect of timing differences relating to the use of debt proceeds. A reconciliation of the “Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio” to the appropriate measure recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (Total Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio) is presented in Table 6, which accompanies this press release.
 
   
Free Cash Flow
 
Represents Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities adjusted to include the cash inflows and outflows relating to (i) capital expenditures, (ii) the investing and financing activities of our management programs, and (iii) asset sales. We believe that Free Cash Flow is useful to management and the Company’s investors in measuring the cash generated by the Company that is available to be used to repurchase stock, repay debt obligations, pay dividends and invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions. Free Cash Flow should not be construed as a substitute in measuring operating results or liquidity, and our presentation of Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the appropriate measure recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities) is presented in Table 8, which accompanies this press release.
 
   
Organic Growth
 
Represents the results of our reportable operating segments excluding the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. We believe that Organic Growth is useful to management and the Company’s investors in evaluating the operating performance of its reportable segments on a comparable basis. We also present Organic EBITDA growth excluding charges associated with the 2005 restructuring activities undertaken following the PHH spin-off and initial public offering of Wright Express. Our management believes this metric is useful in measuring the normalized performance of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The reconciliations of Organic revenue and EBITDA growth to the comparable measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles are presented in Table 3, which accompanies this press release.
 
   
2005 EPS from Continuing Operations before Transaction Related Charges
 
Represents EPS from Continuing Operations adjusted to exclude the non-cash impairment charge of $0.17 per share and restructuring and transaction-related costs of $0.03 per share. We believe that by providing the calculation of EPS from Continuing Operations both including and excluding these charges, we are enhancing an investor’s ability to analyze our financial results on a comparable basis, thereby providing greater transparency. We also believe that excluding the impairment charge is useful to investors because it is a non-cash charge directly resulting from the spin-off of PHH and will not recur in subsequent periods. EPS from Continuing Operations before Transaction Related Charges should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for EPS from Continuing Operations prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of EPS from Continuing Operations before Transaction Related Charges to the most comparable measure (EPS from Continuing Operations) recognized under generally accepted accounting principles is presented within the body of the accompanying release.
