This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. We intend to adopt the provisions of this guidance in conjunction with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740), which improves income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. We intend to adopt the provisions of this guidance in conjunction with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 7 Note 3. Revenue The majority of our revenue is generated from annual home warranty contracts entered into with our customers. Home warranty contracts are typically one year in duration. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the United States. We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major customer acquisition channels. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by major customer acquisition channel is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 Renewals $ 298 $ 278 Real estate (1) 27 33 Direct-to-consumer (1) 36 44 Other 17 11 Total $ 378 $ 367 (1) First-year revenue only. Our home warranty contracts have one performance obligation, which is to provide for the repair or replacement of essential home systems and appliances, as applicable per the contract. We recognize revenue at the agreed upon contractual amount over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Those costs bear a direct relationship to the fulfillment of our obligations under the contracts and are representative of the relative fair value of the services provided to the customer. As the costs to fulfill the obligations of the home warranties are incurred on an other-than-straight-line basis, we utilize historical evidence to estimate the expected claims expense and related timing of such costs and make a corresponding adjustment each period to the timing of our related revenue recognition. This adjustment to the straight-line revenue creates a contract asset or contract liability, as described under the heading “Contract Assets and Liabilities” below. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs and adjust these estimates when appropriate. Renewals Revenue from customer renewals of home warranty contracts, which were previously initiated in the real estate or direct-to-consumer channel are classified as renewal revenue above. Renewals relate to consecutive contract periods and take place at the end of the first year of a real estate or direct-to-consumer home warranty contract. Customer payments for renewals are primarily received in installments over the new contract period. Real estate Real estate home warranties are sold through annual contracts which occur in connection with a real estate sale. These plans are typically paid in full at closing on the real estate transaction. First-year revenue from the real estate channel is classified as real estate above. At the option of the customer, upon renewal of the contract, the future revenue derived from home warranties sold in this channel is classified as renewal revenue as described above. Direct-to-consumer Direct-to-consumer home warranties are sold through annual contracts which occur in response to our marketing efforts. Customer payments for direct-to-consumer sales are primarily received in installments over the contract period. First-year revenue from the direct-to-consumer channel is classified as direct-to-consumer above. At the option of the customer, upon renewal of the contract, the future revenue derived from home warranties sold in this channel is classified as renewal revenue as described above. Other Other revenue primarily includes revenue generated by on-demand home services, as well as administrative fees and ancillary services attributable to our home warranty contracts. 8 Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and recognize the related expense using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract, over the expected customer relationship period. Deferred customer acquisition costs were $ 11 million and $ 12 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Amortization of deferred customer acquisition costs was $ 3 million and $ 4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no impairment losses related to these capitalized costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Receivables, Less Allowance We record a receivable due from customers once we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to the services provided and anticipate the collection of amounts due to us. Contracts for home warranties may be invoiced upfront or monthly in straight-line installment payments over the contract period. The payment terms are determined prior to the execution of the contract. Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets arise when we recognize revenue for our home warranty contracts prior to a customer being invoiced. These timing differences are created when the recognition of revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing the services under the contract are accelerated as compared to the recognition of revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract period. There were no contract assets as of March 31, 2024. Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue which is recognized when cash payments are received in advance of the performance of services, including when the amounts are refundable. Amounts are recognized as revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under our contracts. A summary of the changes in deferred revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows: (In millions) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 102 Deferral of revenue 104 Recognition of deferred revenue ( 47 ) Balance at March 31, 2024 $ 158 There was approximately $ 41 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023. Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are subject to assessment for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. We perform our annual assessment for impairment on October 1 of every year. The balance of goodwill was $ 503 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2024. 9 The following table provides a summary of the components of our intangible assets: As of March 31, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Accumulated Accumulated (In millions) Gross Amortization Net Gross Amortization Net Trade names (1) $ 141 $ — $ 141 $ 141 $ — $ 141 Customer relationships 173 ( 173 ) — 173 ( 173 ) — Developed technology 19 ( 17 ) 2 19 ( 17 ) 2 Other 32 ( 32 ) — 32 ( 32 ) — Total $ 365 $ ( 222 ) $ 143 $ 365 $ ( 221 ) $ 143 (1) Not subject to amortization. Amortization expense was $ 1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. There were no intangible asset impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Note 5. Leases We have operating leases primarily for our corporate headquarters located in Memphis, Tennessee, a collaboration center located in Scottsdale, Arizona and a technology collaboration center in Pune, India. We also continue to lease certain office space in other geographies, which we have either exited or subleased. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 11 years , some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years . The weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate related to our operating leases are as follows: As of March 31, December 31, 2024 2023 Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) 9 9 Weighted-average discount rate 6.4 % 6.5 % We recognized operating lease expense of less than $ 1 million and $ 1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These expenses are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Supplemental balance sheet information related to our operating lease liabilities is as follows: As of March 31, December 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 Other accrued liabilities $ 2 $ 2 Operating lease liabilities 20 16 Total operating lease liabilities $ 23 $ 18 Supplemental cash flow information related to our operating leases is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 Cash paid on operating lease liabilities (1) $ 1 $ 1 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations 6 — (1) Amount is presented net of cash provided from sublease income. In conjunction with the operating lease of our collaboration center located in Scottsdale, Arizona, we recognized a $ 2 million tenant improvement allowance as of March 31, 2024, which is a non-cash investing activity. 10 The following table presents the maturities of our operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2024: (In millions) 2024 (remainder) (1) $ 2 2025 (1) 2 2026 (1) 3 2027 4 2028 3 2029 2 Thereafter 12 Total future lease payments (1) 28 Less imputed interest ( 7 ) Total operating lease liabilities (1) $ 20 (1) Amount is presented net of future sublease income totaling $ 3 million, which relates to the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2024 and the years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2026. Note 6. Income Taxes We are subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was generated in the United States. We compute interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. As a result, our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter. The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 24.4 percent and 25.2 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to the impact of share-based awards, offset, in part, by a decrease in income tax credits. Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies Accruals for home warranty claims are made using internal actuarial projections, which are based on current claims and historical claims experience. Accruals are established based on estimates of the ultimate cost to settle claims. Home warranty claims take approximately three months to settle, on average, and substantially all claims are settled within six months of incurrence. The amount of time required to settle a claim can vary based on a number of factors, including whether a replacement is ultimately required. In addition to our estimates, we engage a third-party actuary to perform an accrual analysis utilizing generally accepted actuarial methods that incorporate cumulative historical claims experience and information provided by us. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs along with the third-party analysis and adjust our estimates when appropriate. We believe that utilizing actuarial methods in our estimation process to account for these liabilities provides a consistent and effective way to measure these judgmental accruals. We have certain liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. We accrue for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. Due to the nature of our business activities, we are also at times subject to pending and threatened legal and regulatory actions that arise out of the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of any such matters is not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions. Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 7 million ($ 6 million, net of tax) and $ 5 million ($ 4 million, net of tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These charges are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. 11 A summary of awards granted under the Omnibus Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows: Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Number of Average Average Average Awards Exercise Grant Date Vesting Granted Price Fair Value Period Stock options 566,843 31.95 14.81 4.0 Restricted stock units 797,261 31.95 3.0 Performance shares (1) 217,527 31.95 3.0 (1) The information related to performance shares above assumes 100 % of the performance condition, which is based on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets, is met. The ultimate number of performance shares that may be earned depends on the achievement of this performance condition . As of March 31, 2024, there was $ 61 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options, performance options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance shares. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.63 years. Note 9. Long-Term Debt Long-term debt is summarized in the following table: As of March 31, December 31, (In millions) 2024 2023 Term Loan A maturing in 2026 (1) $ 223 $ 226 Term Loan B maturing in 2028 (2) 366 367 Revolving Credit Facility maturing in 2026 — — Total debt 589 593 Less current portion ( 17 ) ( 17 ) Total long-term debt $ 573 $ 577 (1) Term Loan A is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 1 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $ 2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our $ 250 million Revolving Credit Facility, and the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $ 248 million. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement.

(2) Included in provision for income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments We currently use a derivative financial instrument to manage risks associated with changes in interest rates by hedging the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of an interest rate swap contract. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In designating derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments under accounting standards for derivative instruments, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. We assess at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the projected cash flows of the associated forecasted transaction. Our interest rate swap contract is classified as a cash flow hedge, and, as such, it is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position as either an asset or liability at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in AOCI. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap contract are classified as operating activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. 13 The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap contract is recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement affects earnings. See Note 11 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI and for the amounts reclassified out of AOCI and into earnings during the periods presented. As the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, we estimate the unrealized hedging gain in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is $ 5 million, net of tax, as of March 31, 2024. The amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months will be determined based on the actual interest rates in effect at the time the positions are settled, and as a result, they could differ materially from our estimate noted above. Note 13. Fair Value Measurements We estimate fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. The valuation techniques require inputs that we categorize into a three-level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets ("Level 1"); direct or indirect observable inputs, including quoted prices or other market data, for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets ("Level 2"); and unobservable inputs that require significant judgment for which there is little or no market data ("Level 3"). When multiple input levels are required for a valuation, we categorize the entire fair value measurement according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement, even though we may have also utilized significant inputs that are more readily observable. The period-end carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of our total debt were $ 589 million and $ 593 million, respectively, and the estimated fair values were $ 592 million and $ 598 million, respectively. The fair value of our debt was estimated based on available market prices for the same or similar instruments that are considered significant other observable inputs (Level 2) within the fair value hierarchy and was based on information available to us as of the respective period end dates. We determine the fair value of our interest rate swap contract using a forward interest rate curve obtained from a third-party market data provider. The fair value of the contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract interest rate to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between these two rates to the notional amount of debt in the interest rate swap contract. We did not change our valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Transfers between hierarchy levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between hierarchy levels during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our interest rate swap contract is currently our only financial instrument remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis. A summary of the carrying value and fair value of this financial instrument is as follows: Estimated Fair Value Measurements Quoted Significant Prices Other Significant in Active Observable Unobservable Carrying Markets Inputs Inputs (In millions) Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) As of March 31, 2024: Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 6 $ — $ 6 $ — Other assets 3 — 3 — Total assets $ 9 $ — $ 9 $ — As of December 31, 2023: Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 5 $ — $ 5 $ — Other assets 2 — 2 — Total assets $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ — 14 Note 14. Share Repurchase Program On September 7, 2021, we announced a three-year repurchase authorization of up to $ 400 million of outstanding shares of our common stock over the three-year period from September 3, 2021 through September 3, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we have repurchased a total of 8,483,316 outstanding shares at a cost of $ 294 million, which is included in treasury stock on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position, and we had $ 106 million remaining available for future repurchases under this program. A summary of repurchases of outstanding shares is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions, except per share data) 2024 2023 Number of shares purchased 400,497 — Average price paid per share (1) $ 31.21 $ — Cost of shares purchased (1) $ 12 $ — (1) The average price paid per share and the cost of shares purchased are calculated on a trade date basis and exclude associated commissions and taxes of less than $ 1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Note 15. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options, performance options, RSUs, performance shares and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method. A summary of the calculations of our basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions, except per share data) 2024 2023 Net Income $ 34 $ 22 Weighted-average common shares outstanding: 78.3 81.5 Effect of dilutive securities: RSUs (1) 0.7 0.4 Stock options (2) — — Weighted-average common shares outstanding - assuming dilution: 79.0 81.9 Basic earnings per share $ 0.43 $ 0.27 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.43 $ 0.27 (1) RSUs of 62,764 shares and 510,116 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. (2) Stock options to purchase 1,072,170 shares and 1,114,819 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Performance options to purchase 591,420 shares and 258,596 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. 15 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, regarding business strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters.

The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. Whether any such forward-looking statements are in fact achieved will depend on future events, some of which are beyond our control. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations. All forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this report, and we do not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, and changes in future operating results over time or otherwise. For a discussion of other important factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements included in this report, you should refer to the risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, including the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K.
