Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1. Description of Business Frontdoor is the leading provider of home warranties and new home structural warranties in the United States, as measured by revenue, and operates primarily under the American Home Shield and 2-10 HBW brands. Our customizable home warranties help customers protect and maintain their homes, typically their most valuable asset, from costly and unplanned breakdowns of essential home systems and appliances. Our home warranty customers usually subscribe to an annual service plan agreement that covers the repair or replacement of major components of up to 29 home systems and appliances, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges/ovens/cooktops, as well as optional coverages for electronics, pools, spas and pumps. Our new home structural warranty business provides value to home builders and owners of new homes by providing coverage, including insurance-backed coverage for workmanship, systems and/or structural failures, as well as other post-construction services. We also offer non-warranty home services via our website and app to our home warranty customers directly and others through partnerships and our subscription-based Frontdoor app. As of September 30, 2025 , we had approximately 2.1 million active home warranties across all brands in the United States. Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Real Estate Held for Sale We classify long-lived assets to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all required criteria are met. We initially measure a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held-for-sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset until the date of sale. Upon determining a long-lived asset meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, we cease depreciation and report such long-lived assets, if material, as Assets held for sale on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. On September 4, 2025, we listed 2-10 HBW's corporate office in Aurora, Colorado for sale. We determined that the related assets met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2025. Basis of Presentation We recommend that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2024 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be achieved for the respective full year. Newly Issued Accounting Standards In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740), which improves income tax disclosures. We plan to adopt this guidance prospectively in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. The adoption of this standard will expand our annual income tax disclosures, including enhanced transparency in the effective tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our enhanced disclosures. In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) , which modernizes the accounting guidance for the costs to develop software for internal use. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects or on a retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. 7 Note 3. Revenue The majority of our revenue is generated from 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 for our home warranties and other revenue is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (In millions) 2025 (2) 2024 2025 (2) 2024 Renewals $ 461 $ 422 $ 1,255 $ 1,141 Real estate (1) 43 36 114 99 Direct-to-consumer (1) 54 49 143 135 Other 59 34 148 86 Total $ 618 $ 540 $ 1,660 $ 1,461 (1) First-year revenue only. (2) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 , includes $ 52 million and $ 149 million as a result of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition on December 19, 2024. Our home warranty contracts have one primary performance obligation, which is to provide for the repair or replacement of essential home systems and appliances, as applicable pursuant to the contracts' terms and conditions. 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 and continue to be categorized in our renewal channel thereafter. 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 that 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. Upon renewal of the contract, which is often exercised by the customer, 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 that 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 non-warranty home services, including the New HVAC and Moen programs, and new home structural warranties. 8 Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a home warranty 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 $ 13 million and $ 11 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amortization of deferred customer acquisition costs was $ 4 million and $ 3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 9 million and $ 10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. There were no impairment losses related to these capitalized costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs We capitalize certain costs related to the issuance of insurance policies, net of ceding commission income from reinsurers, under the new home warranty program as deferred policy acquisition costs and amortize these costs over the term of the underlying pattern of insurance risk. Ceding commission amounts, which represent a recovery of policy acquisition costs, are treated as a reduction of deferred policy acquisition costs. We anticipate that all deferred policy acquisition costs will be recoverable. Deferred policy acquisition costs were $ 3 million and less than $ 1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs were less than $ 1 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 . There was no amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Deferred policy acquisition costs are recorded in Other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position. 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. An allowance is recorded based on amounts anticipated to be collected. 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. Contract assets were $ 77 million as of September 30, 2025 . There were no contract assets as of December 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, including the long-term portion, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is as follows: (In millions) Balance as of December 31, 2024 $ 135 Deferral of revenue 316 Recognition of deferred revenue ( 337 ) Balance as of September 30, 2025 $ 114 There was approximately $ 15 million and $ 125 million of revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024. Unearned Insurance Premium New home structural warranty revenue is recognized over the term of the underlying pattern of insurance risk in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract. Amounts not earned and recognized to date are recognized as unearned insurance premium on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position. 9 Deferred Reinsurance In the normal course of business, we seek to reduce our loss exposure in the new home warranty program by reinsuring certain levels of risk with reinsurers. Premiums ceded are recognized within revenue over the term of underlying pattern of insurance risk, and the unexpired portion of reinsurance is deferred and recognized as deferred reinsurance on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position. 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 $ 971 million and $ 967 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There were no goodwill impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The increase in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by updates to purchase accounting valuations, offset, in part, by the reduction in the 2-10 HBW Acquisition purchase price as a result of the working capital true up provisions in the purchase agreement. The following table provides a summary of the components of our intangible assets: As of September 30, 2025 As of December 31, 2024 Accumulated Accumulated (In millions) Gross Amortization Net Gross Amortization Net Trade names (1) $ 141 $ — $ 141 $ 141 $ — $ 141 Value of business acquired 148 ( 23 ) 125 148 ( 1 ) 147 Home warranty customer relationships 208 ( 177 ) 32 214 ( 173 ) 41 Builder relationships 71 ( 5 ) 66 73 — 72 Developed technology 35 ( 25 ) 11 35 ( 19 ) 16 Other 60 ( 34 ) 25 63 ( 32 ) 31 Total $ 663 $ ( 263 ) $ 400 $ 673 $ ( 225 ) $ 448 (1) Not subject to amortization. Amortization expense was $ 13 million and $ 1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 38 million and $ 2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. There were no intangible asset impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Note 5. Leases We have operating leases for our corporate headquarters located in Memphis, Tennessee, a collaboration center located in Scottsdale, Arizona and an administrative center in Pune, India. We also continue to lease certain office space in other geographies, which we have, as indicated below, either exited or subleased. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from two years to 9 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 September 30, December 31, 2025 2024 Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) 8 9 Weighted-average discount rate 6.5 % 6.5 % We recognized operating lease expense of less than $ 1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $ 1 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. These expenses are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. 10 Supplemental statement of financial position information related to our operating lease liabilities is as follows: As of September 30, December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 Other accrued liabilities $ 2 $ 2 Operating lease liabilities 18 20 Total operating lease liabilities $ 21 $ 22 Supplemental cash flow information related to our operating leases is as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, (In millions) 2025 2024 Cash paid on operating lease liabilities (1) $ 2 $ 3 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations — 7 (1) Amount is presented net of cash provided from sublease income. In conjunction with the operating leases of our corporate headquarters located in Memphis, Tennessee, and our collaboration center located in Scottsdale, Arizona, we recognized $ 2 million in tenant improvement allowances as of February 29, 2024, which is a non-cash investing activity. The following table presents the maturities of our operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2025: (In millions) 2025 (remainder) (1) 1 2026 (1) 3 2027 (1) 3 2028 3 2029 3 Thereafter 13 Total future lease payments (1) 25 Less imputed interest ( 6 ) Total operating lease liabilities (1) $ 19 (1) Amount is presented net of future sublease income totaling $ 2 million, which relates to the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2025 and the year ending December 31, 2027. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 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 25.8 percent and 25.1 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively, and 24.6 percent and 25.3 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to state income taxes. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to changes in share-based compensation and acquisition-related transaction costs, offset, in part, by state income taxes and a reduction in tax credits. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Bill”) was enacted in the U.S. The Bill includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. Key provisions of the Bill, including restoration of 100% bonus depreciation and revised treatment of domestic research and development costs, have a material impact on our deferred tax balances and projected taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2025. As a result, we recorded a material increase in our deferred tax liability and a corresponding decrease in our current tax liability during the interim period. In addition, these provisions are expected to materially reduce our cash tax payments in the current year. The Bill does not materially impact our effective tax rate. 11 Note 7. Acquisitions O n December 19, 2024 , we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of 2-10 HBW pursuant to a purchase agreement dated June 3, 2024 for aggregate cash consideration of $ 585 million, subject to certain customary adjustments based on, among other things, the amount of cash, debt, transaction expenses, working capital and regulatory capital in the business of 2-10 HBW as of the closing of the transaction. 2-10 HBW is a leading provider of new home structural warranties that provide home builders insurance-backed coverage and/or administrative services for workmanship, systems and/or structural failures. 2-10 HBW is also a provider of home warranties. Total consideration as of September 30, 2025, is as follows: (In millions) Cash consideration paid $ 432 Payment of 2-10 HBW indebtedness 157 Payment of 2-10 HBW transaction costs 15 Total purchase price consideration 604 Less: Acquired 2-10 HBW cash ( 24 ) Total purchase price consideration, net of cash acquired $ 580 A summary of the consideration paid and the amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as determined based on management's preliminary assessment of the acquisition date fair value, is as follows: (In millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 24 Marketable securities 15 Receivables 4 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 8 Property and equipment, net 6 Goodwill 469 Intangible assets 298 Long-term marketable securities 39 Deferred reinsurance 64 Other assets 9 Accounts payable ( 1 ) Accrued liabilities: Payroll and related expenses ( 8 ) Home warranty claims ( 7 ) Other ( 6 ) Deferred revenue ( 29 ) Deferred tax liabilities, net ( 23 ) Unearned insurance premium ( 232 ) Long-term deferred revenue ( 12 ) Other long-term liabilities ( 13 ) Total consideration paid $ 604 As of September 30, 2025, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition has not been finalized. In particular, we are still evaluating the allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As we finalize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period in 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 , we made measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date. These adjustments included updates to purchase accounting valuations and a $ 3 million reduction in the 2-10 HBW Acquisition purchase price as a result of the working capital true up provisions in the purchase agreement. The impact of these adjustments was a $ 5 million increase in goodwill, an $ 11 million decrease in intangible assets, and a $ 2 million decrease in deferred tax liabilities, net. 12 In conjunction with the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, we recognized acquisition-related costs of $ 2 million and $ 3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively, and $ 6 million and $ 9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These charges represent direct third-party costs, including legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, as well as post-acquisition systems integration costs, and are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Unaudited pro forma revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as if the 2-10 HBW Acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2024 was $ 590 million and $ 1,607 million, respectively. Note 8. 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. Unpaid losses and loss adjustment reserves represent the estimated ultimate cost of settling all new home structural warranty claims and includes the estimated costs of claims incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is based upon the facts of each case and our experience with similar cases. The establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain and complex process. Reserve estimates are primarily derived using an actuarial estimation process in which historical loss patterns are applied to actual paid losses and reported losses (paid losses plus individual case reserves established by claim adjusters) to create an estimate of how losses are likely to develop over time. We regularly review our estimates of unpaid losses and adjust our estimates when appropriate. We report our unpaid losses and loss adjustment reserves gross of the amounts related to unpaid losses recoverable from reinsurers and net of amounts ceded to reinsurers. Unpaid losses and loss adjustment reserves are recorded in Other long-term liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position. 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 9. Stock-Based Compensation We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 8 million ($ 6 million, net of tax) and $ 6 million ($ 5 million, net of tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 25 million ($ 18 million, net of tax) and $ 20 million ($ 17 million, net of tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These charges are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. 13 A summary of awards granted under the Omnibus Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is as follows: Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Number of Average Average Average Awards Exercise Grant Date Vesting Granted Price Fair Value Period Stock options 684,378 38.03 16.70 4.0 Restricted stock units 801,143 38.77 3.0 Performance shares (1) 199,989 39.75 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.

Segments We operate as one operating and reportable segment, primarily under the American Home Shield brand. The majority of our revenue is generated from home warranty contracts entered into with our customers. The accounting policies applied to our one operating and reportable segment are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer , regularly evaluates financial information, primarily revenue, net income and other measures, on a consolidated basis in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Additionally, consolidated revenue is one key component of our incentive compensation program. Information for our one operating and reportable segment is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (In millions) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Revenue $ 618 $ 540 $ 1,660 $ 1,461 Cost of services rendered 264 235 716 655 Sales and marketing costs 83 80 232 231 Customer service costs 31 27 89 79 General and administrative costs 60 48 177 147 Other segment items (1) 74 51 193 123 Net Income $ 106 $ 100 $ 253 $ 226 (1) Other segment items include depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring charges, interest expense, interest and net investment income, and provision for income taxes. As of September 30, December 31, 2025 2024 Total Assets $ 2,227 $ 2,107 Note 12. Supplemental Cash Flow Information Supplemental information relating to our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, (In millions) 2025 2024 Cash paid for (received from): Interest expense $ 56 $ 28 Interest income ( 16 ) ( 15 ) Income tax payments, net of refunds 36 59 15 Note 13. Cash and Marketable Securities Cash, money market funds and certificates of deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased are included in Cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amortized cost of our short- and long-term investments was less than $ 1 million and $ 53 million, respectively, and the estimated fair value of these investments was less than $ 1 million and $ 53 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 , short- and long-term marketable securities primarily consisted of certificates of deposit. There were no unrealized losses which had been in a loss position for more than one year as of September 30, 2025. Gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in investment income in the period they are realized. We periodically review our portfolio of investments to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in the value of the investments from factors such as deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer or the market(s) in which the issuer competes. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 , there were less than $ 1 million each in proceeds from sales of securities, maturities, gross realized gains and gross realized losses resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 , there were $ 48 million in proceeds from sales of securities, $ 12 million in maturities and less than $ 1 million each in gross realized gains and gross realized losses resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 , there were no proceeds, maturities, gross realized gains and gross realized losses resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities. There were no impairment charges due to other-than-temporary declines in the value of certain investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 . Note 14. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss), unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments and unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities. We disclose comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity. A summary of the changes in AOCI is as follows: Balance at December 31, 2024 $ — Other comprehensive loss before reclassifications: Pre-tax amount ( 14 ) Tax provision ( 4 ) After-tax amount ( 11 ) Amounts reclassified from AOCI (1) ( 3 ) Total other comprehensive loss ( 13 ) Balance at September 30, 2025 $ ( 14 ) (1) Amounts are net of income taxes. See the table below on reclassifications out of AOCI for additional information. A summary of reclassifications out of AOCI is as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, (In millions) 2025 2024 Gain on interest rate swap contracts (1) $ 3 $ 6 Impact of income taxes (2) ( 1 ) ( 1 ) Total reclassifications during the period $ 3 $ 5 (1) Included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. (2) Included in provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. 16 Note 15. 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 interest rate swap contracts. 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 contracts are classified as cash flow hedges, and, as such, are recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position on an individual basis 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 contracts are classified as operating activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap contracts are 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 14 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 loss in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is $ 3 million, net of tax, as of September 30, 2025. 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 16. 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. The period-end carrying amounts of short- and long-term marketable securities also approximate fair value and primarily consisted of available-for-sale debt securities. Unrealized gains and losses are reported net of tax as a component of AOCI in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Any unrealized losses where the decline in value is other than temporary are reported in interest and net investment income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. There were no other-than-temporary declines in value for the periods ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of our total debt were $ 1,180 million and $ 1,199 million, respectively, and the estimated fair values were $ 1,198 million and $ 1,211 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 contracts using a forward interest rate curve obtained from a third-party market data provider. The fair value of each 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 rates to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between these two rates to the notional amounts of debt in the interest rate swap contracts. We did not change our valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 . Transfers between hierarchy levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between hierarchy levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. 17 The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented are 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 September 30, 2025: Other accrued liabilities $ 4 $ — $ 4 $ — Other long-term liabilities 15 — 15 — Total liabilities $ 19 $ — $ 19 $ — As of December 31, 2024: Marketable securities $ 15 $ 6 $ 9 $ — Other assets 3 — 3 — Long-term marketable securities 38 2 36 — Total assets $ 56 $ 8 $ 48 $ — Other long-term liabilities $ 3 $ — $ 3 $ — Total liabilities $ 3 $ — $ 3 $ — Note 17. Share Repurchase Program On July 26, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to $ 650 million of our common stock over the three-year period from September 4, 2024 through September 4, 2027. Purchases under this repurchase program may be made from time to time by the company in the open market at prevailing market prices (including through Rule 10b5-1 Plans), in privately negotiated transactions, or through any combination of these methods, through September 4, 2027. The actual timing, number, manner and value of any shares repurchased will depend on several factors, including the market price of the company’s stock, general market and economic conditions, the company’s liquidity requirements, applicable legal requirements and other business considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any number of shares in any specific period or at all and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. As of September 30, 2025, we had repurchased a total of 4,545,461 outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $ 234 million under this program, which is included in treasury stock on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. On September 3, 2024, our previous repurchase authorization of up to $ 400 million expired. We repurchased a total of 11,319,091 shares at an aggregate cost of $ 400 million under this previous program, which is included in treasury stock on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. A summary of repurchases of outstanding shares is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (In millions, except per share data) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Number of shares purchased 981,639 1,475,797 3,836,384 3,236,272 Average price paid per share (1) $ 60.31 $ 41.33 $ 50.41 $ 36.62 Cost of shares purchased (1) $ 59 $ 61 $ 193 $ 119 (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 $ 1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and $ 2 million and $ 1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. 18 Note 18. 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 deferred share equivalents 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (In millions, except per share data) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net Income $ 106 $ 100 $ 253 $ 226 Weighted-average common shares outstanding: 72.8 76.2 73.6 77.4 Effect of dilutive securities: RSUs (1) 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.5 Stock options (2) 0.5 0.2 0.3 0.1 Performance options (3) 0.3 — 0.3 — Weighted-average common shares outstanding - assuming dilution: 74.4 77.1 75.0 78.0 Basic earnings per share $ 1.45 $ 1.32 $ 3.44 $ 2.92 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.42 $ 1.30 $ 3.38 $ 2.90 (1) RSUs of 14,266 shares and 2,706 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 347,719 shares and 461,600 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. (2) Stock options to purchase 538,962 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 539,832 shares and 1,015,848 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive shares of stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2025 . (3) Performance options to purchase 191,348 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive shares of performance options for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025 . 19 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, the 2-10 HBW Acquisition and other matters.
