CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), the leading provider of commercial
real estate information, analytics and online marketplaces, announced
today that revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, was $328
million, an increase of 20% over revenue of $274 million for the first
quarter of 2018. Net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $85
million, an increase of 63% over net income of $52 million for the first
quarter of 2018.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2019 was $113 million, an increase of
61% versus EBITDA of $70 million for the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted
EBITDA (which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition and
integration related costs and other items as described below) for the
first quarter of 2019 was $125 million, an increase of 49% compared to
adjusted EBITDA of $84 million for the first quarter of 2018.
“The strong revenue and earnings growth we showed in 2018 has continued
into the first quarter of 2019,” said Andrew C. Florance, Founder and
Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “In the first quarter of 2019,
our sales team generated $48 million in company-wide net new bookings,
an increase of 36% year-over-year. Apartments.com had an exceptionally
strong sales quarter, growing quarterly net new bookings by 40%
year-over-year, exceeding even the record net new bookings level we
achieved in the fourth quarter of 2018.”
Florance continued, “Unique visitors to our network of marketplaces grew
29% year-over-year from 38 million in the first quarter of 2018 to 49
million in first quarter of 2019. With strong traffic growth and a
robust product development pipeline for Apartments, LoopNet, and CoStar

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $1.2 billion in
cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments, and no outstanding
debt.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2019 (which excludes
amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation and
other items as described below) was $92 million or $2.53 per diluted
share, an increase of $32 million or 54% versus the first quarter of
2018.
2019 Outlook
The Company continues to expect revenue in the range of $1,370 million
to $1,380 million for the full year of 2019. We expect revenue for the
second quarter of 2019 in the range of $333 million to $337 million,
representing revenue growth of 13% over the second quarter of 2018 at
the midpoint of the range. The revenue growth outlook in the second
quarter of 2019 is lower than the reported first quarter revenue growth
rate as we passed the anniversary of the ForRent acquisition and
discontinued certain ForRent revenue streams that contributed to the
2018 revenue results.
The Company continues to expect adjusted EBITDA in a range of $495
million to $505 million for the full year of 2019. For the second
quarter of 2019, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA in a range of $98
million to $102 million.
We expect full-year 2019 non-GAAP net income per diluted share in a
range of $9.90 to $10.10, based on 36.7 million shares, an increase of
$0.10 at the midpoint versus the previously provided outlook, primarily
as a result of increased interest income earned on cash balances. For
the second quarter of 2019, we expect non-GAAP net income per diluted
share in a range of $1.94 to $2.02 based on 36.7 million shares. These
ranges include a non-GAAP tax rate of 25%.
The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group’s
expectations as of April 23, 2019, including forward-looking non-GAAP
financial measures on a consolidated basis. Given the risk factors,
uncertainties and assumptions discussed above, actual results may differ
materially. Other than in publicly available statements, the Company
does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next
quarterly results announcement.
Reconciliation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP net income per diluted share and all of the disclosed non-GAAP
financial measures to their GAAP basis results are shown in detail
below, along with definitions for those terms. A reconciliation of
forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP
measure, net income, can be found within the tables included in this
release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the
non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management
believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the
Company’s financial condition and results of operations, please refer to
the Company’s latest periodic report.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income
attributable to CoStar Group before interest and other income (expense),
loss on debt extinguishment, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EBITDA
before stock-based compensation expense, acquisition- and
integration-related costs, restructuring costs and settlements and
impairments incurred outside the Company’s normal course of business.
Non-GAAP net income is a non-GAAP financial measure determined by
adjusting GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group for stock-based
compensation expense, acquisition- and integration-related costs,
restructuring costs, settlement and impairment costs incurred outside
the Company's normal course of business and loss on debt extinguishment,
as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets and other related
costs, and then subtracting an assumed provision for income taxes. In
2019, the Company is assuming a 25% tax rate in order to approximate our
statutory corporate tax rate excluding the impact of discrete items.
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure
that represents non-GAAP net income divided by the number of diluted
shares outstanding for the period used in the calculation of GAAP net
income per diluted share. For periods with GAAP net losses and non-GAAP
net income, the weighted-average outstanding shares used to calculate
non-GAAP net income per share includes potentially dilutive securities
that were excluded from the calculation of GAAP net income per share as
the effect was anti-dilutive.

income, non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and sales; the

in this press release; the risk that net income for the second quarter
and full year 2019 will not be as stated in this press release; the risk
