CoStar Group First Quarter 2021 Revenue Increases 17% Year-over-Year With Traffic to CoStar Group Platforms up 47% Year-over-Year

CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP), the leading provider of commercial real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces, announced today that revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, was $458 million, an increase of 17% over revenue of $392 million for the first quarter of 2020.

Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $74 million, or $1.88 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2021 (which excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and other items as described below) was $108 million or $2.75 per diluted share, an increase of $18 million or 20% versus the first quarter of 2020.

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 was $136 million, an increase of 35% versus EBITDA of $100 million for the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration related costs and other items as described below) for the first quarter of 2021 was $160 million, an increase of 29% compared to adjusted EBITDA of $124 million for the first quarter of 2020.

“Our business delivered a strong start to 2021, with revenue and profit ahead of forecast and record numbers of visitors to our platforms in the first quarter of the year,” said Andrew C. Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “Our sales team generated $52 million in company-wide net new bookings in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 10% year-over-year. CoStar Suite net new bookings in the first quarter increased 77% year-over-year, with both net new sales and renewal rates returning to the levels we achieved in 2019, prior to the pandemic. We expect this positive momentum to continue during the remainder of 2021, supported by the recent addition of both Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities data and STR hospitality data in CoStar Suite, and the launch of the new CoStar international version earlier this month.”

“Our marketplace businesses, along with Ten-X, also delivered very strong year-over-year results in the first quarter,” continued Florance. “Apartments.com revenue increased 21%, network visitors were up 35%, and quality leads to our customers grew 63%. LoopNet and Ten-X continued to gain traction as our new marketing campaigns increased awareness and site traffic. Unique visitors to our LoopNet network increased 34% and LoopNet Signature Ads revenue grew 50% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. Ten-X’s unique monthly visitors rose 45% sequentially in what is typically a seasonally slow quarter, and the average number of bidders per auction grew 68% year-over-year.”

“We were excited to have the Homesnap team join us at the end of 2020,” noted Florance. “The business performed well in the first quarter of 2021, growing pro forma revenue by over 40% year-over-year as paid subscribers more than doubled and subscription revenue grew by 68%.”

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $3.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments and outstanding debt of approximately $987 million.

2021 Outlook

The Company is raising its revenue guidance for the full year of 2021 to a new range of $1.930 billion to $1.945 billion, representing growth of approximately 17% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range. Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 is expected to be in the range of $465 million to $470 million, representing revenue growth of approximately 18% over the second quarter of 2020 at the midpoint of the range.

The Company is raising its adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year of 2021 to a new range of $645 million to $655 million, representing growth of approximately 18% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range. For the second quarter of 2021, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA in a range of $130 million to $135 million.

The Company is raising its non-GAAP net income per diluted share guidance for full-year 2021 from a range of $10.83 to $11.03 to a new range of $11.20 to $11.40 per share, based on 39.5 million shares. The new range represents an increase of $0.37 at the midpoint versus the previously provided outlook. For the second quarter of 2021, we expect non-GAAP net income per diluted share in a range of $2.22 to $2.32 based on 39.4 million shares. These ranges include an estimated non-GAAP tax rate of 25% for the full year and the second quarter of 2021. The 2021 outlook does not include estimates of results for the pending Homes.com acquisition.

The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group’s expectations as of April 27, 2021, 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 commercial 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.

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 2021, the Company is assuming a 25% tax rate in order to approximate our 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.

Earnings Conference Call

Management will conduct a conference call to discuss first quarter 2021 results and the Company’s outlook at 5:00 PM EDT on Tuesday, April 27, 2021. 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.
