NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “Frontdoor,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to frontdoor, inc. and all of its subsidiaries. Frontdoor is a Delaware corporation with its principal executive offices in Memphis, Tennessee. Certain amounts presented in the tables in this report are subject to rounding adjustments and, as a result, the totals in such tables may not sum.
We are the largest provider of home service plans in the U.S., as measured by revenue, and operate under the American Home Shield, HSA, OneGuard and Landmark brands. Our customizable home service plans 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 service plans cover the repair or replacement of major components of up to 21 household systems and appliances, including electrical, plumbing, central HVAC systems, water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges/ovens/cooktops. In 2019, we launched our new on-demand home services business under the brand name Candu, and we acquired Streem, a technology startup that uses augmented reality, computer vision and machine learning to help home service professionals more quickly and accurately diagnose breakdowns and complete repairs and to help real estate professionals consult with and provide virtual tours to potential buyers and agents. We serve customers across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
We recommend that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2019 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 the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of the results that might be achieved for a full year.
Impact of COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) characterized the recent novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak. The broader implications of COVID-19 on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. In response to the pandemic, we have taken a number of steps to protect the well-being of our employees, customers and contractors, and we continue to respond to the real-time needs of our business. The COVID-19 situation remains very fluid, and we continue to adjust our response in real time.
While we did not experience a material impact on our results of operations and overall financial performance during the first quarter, during the second quarter of 2020, our results of operations and financial performance were adversely impacted by COVID-19 as follows:
We experienced a decline in first-year real estate sales attributable, in part, to the adverse impact COVID-19 had on U.S. existing home sales. Due to the annual nature of our service plan agreements, the impact of this decline will carry forward into future periods.
We experienced an increase in appliance and plumbing claims primarily due to the increased usage of home systems and appliances driven by state and local shelter at home orders and recommendations.
We increased our marketing spend in the first-year direct-to-consumer channel to help mitigate the decline in first-year real estate sales.
We incurred incremental wages at our contact centers due to increased demand driven by temporary closures at our offshore business process outsourcers.
We incurred incremental direct costs in response to COVID-19, which were temporary in nature and primarily related to incremental health and childcare benefits for our employees and hoteling costs related to our offshore business process outsourcers.
f Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated and combined financial statements included in our 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
7
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which was amended in parts by subsequent accounting standards updates (collectively ASC 326). This standard requires earlier recognition of credit losses while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. Further, the new credit loss model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. We adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective approach, effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. We adopted this standard prospectively, effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. We are currently evaluating its impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3. Revenue
We enter into annual service plan agreements with our customers. We 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 value provided to the customer. As the costs to fulfill the obligations of the home service plans 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. This adjustment to the straight-line revenue creates a contract asset or contract liability, as described under the heading “Contract balances” below. We regularly review our estimates of claims costs and adjust our estimates when appropriate. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers in the U.S.
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:

_____________________________
(1) First-year revenue only.
Renewals
Revenue from all customer renewals, whether initiated via the real estate or direct-to-consumer channel, are classified as renewals above. Customer payments for renewals are received either at the commencement of the renewal period or in installments over the contract period.
Real estate
Real estate home service plans are sold through annual contracts in connection with a real estate sale, and payments are typically paid in full at closing. First-year revenue from the real estate channel is classified as real estate above.
8
Direct-to-consumer
Direct-to-consumer home service plans are sold through annual contracts when customers request a service plan in response to marketing efforts or when third-party resellers make a sale. Customer payments are received either at the commencement of the contract or in installments over the contract period. First-year revenue from the direct-to-consumer channel is classified as direct-to-consumer above.
Costs to obtain a contract with a customer
We capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, primarily sales commissions, and recognize the 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 $ 18 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Amortization of these deferred acquisition costs was $ 6 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $ 10 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. There were no impairment losses in relation to these capitalized costs.
Contract balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contracts with customers, including contracts resulting from customer renewals, are generally for a period of one year. We record a receivable related to revenue recognized on services once we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to the services provided. All accounts receivable are recorded within Receivables, less allowances, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position. We invoice our monthly-pay customers on a straight-line basis over the contract term. As a result, a contract asset is created when revenue is recognized on monthly-pay customers before being billed.
Deferred revenue represents a contract liability and 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. Deferred revenue was $ 173 million and $ 188 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and, as of June 30, 2020, includes a net contract liability of $ 3 million related to the recognition of monthly pay-customer revenue on an other-than-straight-line basis to match the timing of cost recognition.
Changes in deferred revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were as follows:

Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are subject to assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. An assessment for impairment is performed on October 1 of every year. The balance of goodwill was $ 502 million and $ 501 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. There were no goodwill or trade name impairment charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. There were no accumulated impairment losses recorded as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, we completed a business acquisition for $ 5 million, which was primarily allocated to developed technology and other intangible assets.

Note 5. Leases
We have operating leases primarily for corporate offices and call centers and finance leases for vehicles. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 1 5 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years . Renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease term. An incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of lease payments unless an implicit rate is readily determinable. Incremental borrowing rates are determined based on our secured borrowing rating and the lease term. Disclosures related to finance lease obligations are immaterial and, as such, are not included in the discussion below.
The weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate related to operating leases is as follows:

These expenses are included in Selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities were $ 3 million and $ 2 million, respectively, and are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, amounts i nclude $ 2 million of lease termination costs related to the decision to consolidate the operations of Landmark Home Warranty, LLC (“Landmark”) with those of OneGuard Home Warranties (“OneGuard”) .

As of June 30, 2020, we have entered into additional leases as a lessee for real estate that have not yet commenced. These leases will result in operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $ 8 million. These leases are expected to commence during the second half of 2020 and first half of 2021, with lease terms between three years and seven years .
Note 6. Income Taxes
As required by ASC 740, 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. Our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter in accordance with ASC 740. The effective tax rate on income was 25.5 percent and 25.1 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 25.4 percent for each of the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We do not expect the provisions of the legislation to have a significant impact on our effective tax rate or our income tax payable and deferred income tax positions.
We are subject to taxation in the U.S., various states and foreign jurisdictions. Pursuant to the terms of the tax matters agreement entered into with ServiceMaster in connection with the Spin-off, we are not subject to federal examination by the IRS or examination by state taxing authorities where a unitary or combined state income tax return is filed for the years prior to 2018. We are not subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities in jurisdictions where separate income tax returns are filed for the years prior to 2015. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was generated in the U.S.
11
Our policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties related to our tax positions within the tax provision. Total interest and penalties included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income are immaterial.
Note 7. Acquisitions
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method, and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since their dates of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of these businesses were recorded in the financial statements at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates.
As discussed in our 2019 Form 10-K, we completed the acquisition of Streem in the fourth quarter of 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we updated our preliminary allocation and reclassified $ 1 million from other intangibles, primarily customer relationships, to goodwill. As of June 30, 2020, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition has not been finalized.
During the second quarter of 2020, we acquired a business for a cash purchase price of $ 5 million to expand the Candu on-demand offering via their technology platform. The purchase price was primarily allocated to developed technology and other intangible assets. As of June 30, 2020, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition has not been finalized.
Regarding the two acquisitions discussed above, we are still evaluating the fair value of certain intangible assets. As we finalize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each acquisition, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period in 2020.
Note 8. Restructuring Charges
We incurred restructuring charges of $ 1 million ($ 1 million, net of tax) and less than $ 1 million (less than $ 1 million, net of tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $ 4 million ($ 3 million, net of tax) and less than $ 1 million (less than $ 1 million, net of tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, restructuring charges primarily comprised accelerated depreciation of certain technology systems driven by efforts to enhance our technological capabilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, restructuring charges comprised severance costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, restructuring charges comprised $ 2 million of lease termination costs and $ 1 million of severance and other costs related to the decision to consolidate the operations of Landmark with those of OneGuard, which was completed during the first quarter of 2020, as well as $ 1 million of accelerated depreciation of certain technology systems. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, restructuring charges comprised severance costs.
The pre-tax charges discussed above are reported in “Restructuring charges” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
As of December 31, 2019, there was less than $ 1 million of restructuring charges accrued, which were paid or otherwise settled during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, there was less than $ 1 million in accrued restructuring charges in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Accruals for home service plan 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 service plan 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 the use of actuarial methods 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.
12
Due to the nature of our business activities, we are 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 10. Stock-Based Compensation
We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 5 million ($ 4 million, net of tax) and $ 3 million ($ 2 million, net of tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $ 8 million ($ 7 million, net of tax) and $ 4 million ($ 4 million, net of tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These charges are included in Selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
As of June 30, 2020, there was $ 40 million of total unrecognized compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares and restricted stock awards. These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 4 years.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, marketable securities primarily consisted of treasury bills with maturities of less than one year and are classified as available-for-sale securities. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amortized cost of our short-term investments was $ 2 million and $ 7 million, respectively, and the estimated fair value of these investments was $ 2 million and $ 7 million, respectively.
13
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. For the each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no gross realized gains, gross realized losses or proceeds resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities. Maturities of available-for-sale securities were $ 7 million and $ 4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
We periodically review our portfolio of investments to determine whether an allowance for credit losses is necessary. There was a $ 3 million loss on an investment recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, which is included in Interest and net investment loss (income) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. There were no credit losses due to declines in the value of our investments recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Note 15. Derivative Financial Instruments
We currently use a derivative financial instrument to manage risks associated with changes in interest rates. 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.
We hedge the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of an interest rate swap agreement. Our interest rate swap contract is classified as a cash flow hedge, and, as such, it is recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position as either an asset or liability at fair value, with the effective portion of changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risks recorded in AOCI. Any change in the fair value of the hedging instrument resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by accounting standards, is recognized in current period earnings. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap contract 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 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 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. As the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, the unrealized hedging loss in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is $ 8 million, net of tax, as of June 30, 2020. The amounts that are ultimately reclassified into earnings will be based on actual interest rates at the time the positions are settled and may differ materially from the amount 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 the business categorizes using 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 fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The period-end carrying amount of short-term marketable securities also approximates fair value and consists 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. There were no allowances for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The carrying amount of total debt was $ 977 million and $ 980 million, and the estimated fair value was $ 993 million and $ 1,031 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of our debt is 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. The fair values presented reflect the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value estimates presented in this report are based on information available to us as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
We value 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 the 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 year. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Note 17. 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 potential dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs , performance shares and restricted stock awards are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:
