On July 23, 2021, plaintiff William J. Brown, a former employee and a stockholder of Matterport, sued the Brown Defendants in the Chancery Court. Brown claimed that the Brown Defendants imposed invalid Transfer Restrictions on his shares of Matterport stock, and that Matterport s board of directors violated their fiduciary duties in connection with a purportedly misleading letter of transmittal. On January 11, 2022, the court issued a ruling that the Transfer Restrictions did not apply to Brown. On May 28, 2024, the court awarded Brown $ 79 million due to the invalid Transfer Restrictions plus pre- and post-judgment interest. On April 22, 2025, the Delaware Supreme Court substantially affirmed the Chancery Court s damages award but reversed and remanded for additional proceedings on the manner in which post-judgment interest was calculated. On remand, the Chancery Court determined that post judgment interest will accrue at a variable rate until the judgment is paid in full. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company paid a total of $ 109 million for the Brown Judgment. The Company recognized $ 9 million of additional interest expense related to the matter, which was recorded within interest income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and $ 1 million of fees recorded within general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company realized net recoveries related to this matter of $ 7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and $ 24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which were recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our services are primarily derived from a databas e of building-specific, and marketplace, and residential development information and visual content and offer customers specialized tools for accessing, analyzing, and using our information and advertising on our marketplaces. Over time, we have expanded, and we expect to continue to expand, our existing real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces. We have developed and we expect to continue to develop additional services leveraging our centralized database and 3D digital twin technology to meet the needs of our existing customers as well as potential new categories of customers. With the Zonda Acquisition, we have expanded our proprietary data, analytics, software, and marketplace capabilities into the new-home construction market, giving us a significant position in another major part of the residential real estate ecosystem.
Our services are typically distributed to our customers under subscription-based license agreements that generally renew automatically, the majority of which have a term of at least one year. Upon renewal, many of the subscription contract rates may change in accordance with contract provisions or as a result of contract renegotiations. To encourage customers to use our services regularly, we generally charge a fixed monthly amount for our subscription-based services rather than charging fees based on actual platform usage or number of paid clicks. Depending on the type of service, contract rates are generally based on the number of sites, number of users, organization size, the customer s business focus, the customer's geographic location, the number of properties reported on or analyzed, the number and types of services to which a customer subscribes, the number of digital twins hosted, the number of transactions and average transaction size a broker or agent has closed, the number of properties or residential communities a customer advertises, and the prominence and placement of a customer's advertised properties in the search results. Our subscription customers generally pay contract fees on a monthly basis, but in some cases may pay us on a quarterly or annual basis. Our transaction-based services primarily consist of (i) providing premium listings for individual properties and residential communities on our marketplaces, (ii) providing data capture services to create digital twins, (iii) the sale of Matterport cameras and capture equipment, and (iv) Ten-X auction fees, (v) one-time sales of housing market data, advisory services, digital advertising, home plans, and software and related services, and (vi) ancillary products and services that are sold on an ad hoc basis.
We operate, develop products, and deliver our services in two reportable segments, Commercial Real Estate and Residential Real Estate. Our Commercial Real Estate segment offers commercial real estate information, analytics, online marketplaces, and 3D digital twin technology. Our Residential Real Estate segment hosts marketplaces which that aggregate consumer demand for homes and apartments and we sell marketing and leads to the agents, owners, landlords, and property management companies that need to reach those consumers with their offerings. Our principal services are described in the following paragraphs:

Our residential marketplaces enable renters and homebuyers to find their dream homes by combining our proprietary research and neighborhood content with listing information, while enabling property owners, managers, and real estate agents to advertise their properties. Our flagship brands in the U.S. are Apartments.com, Homes.com, and Land.com. Apartments.com and Land.com provide comprehensive advertising on a subscription basis. Homes.com offers real estate agents subscription memberships promoting the agent's listings and profile on our websites, as well as the ability for real estate agents and homeowners to promote a single listing. Domain and OnTheMarket are our primary brands in Australia and the U.K., respectively. Domain primarily provides agents premium listings for individual properties. OnTheMarket hosts agents' listings on a subscription basis. With the Zonda Acquisition, we provide data, analytics, and software solutions, primarily on a subscription basis, and offer marketplace advertising solutions for the residential construction industry, primarily on a transactional basis.
We expect Residential Real Estate's revenue growth rate for the year ending December 31, 2026 to accelerate compared to the revenue growth rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to a full year's benefit of the Domain Acquisition completed in August 2025, a partial year's benefit of the Zonda Acquisition completed in August 2026, and an increase in the number of Homes.com agent memberships.

For the three months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025, our annualized net new bookings of subscription-based services on all contracts were $69 $37 million and $93 $84 million , respectively. The decrease in net new bookings was primarily attributable to economic headwinds and slower-than-expected sales force growth within a competitive environment. Net new bookings is calculated based on the annualized amount of change in our sales bookings resulting from new subscription-based contracts, changes to existing subscription-based contracts, and cancellations of subscription-based contracts for the period reported. Net new bookings is calculated on all subscription-based contracts without regard to contract term. Net new bookings is considered an operating metric that is an indicator of future subscription revenue growth and is also used as a metric of sales force productivity by us and investors. However, information regarding net new bookings is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of our revenue over time. Revenue from our subscription-based contracts was approximately 89% and 95% 92% of total revenue for the three months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in our percentage of subscription-based revenue was primarily due to Domain, which sells premium listings for individual properties, as well as the transactional products and services sold by Matterport.
For each of the trailing 12 months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025, our contract renewal rates rate for existing company-wide CoStar Group subscription-based services for contracts with a term of at least one year were was approximately 88% and 89%, respectively, and our cancellation rates rate for those services during the same periods were was approximately 12% and 11%, respectively. Contract renewal rates are calculated on all subscription-based contracts with a term of at least one year. Our contract renewal rate is a quantitative measurement that is typically closely correlated with our revenue results. As a result, we believe that the rate may be a reliable indicator of short-term and long-term performance absent extraordinary circumstances. Our trailing 12-month contract renewal rate may decline as a result of negative economic conditions, consolidations among our customers, reductions in customer spending, or decreases in our customer base. Revenue from our subscription-based contracts with a term of at least one year was approximately 73% 72% and 79% 75% of total revenue for the trailing 12 months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of revenue from our subscription-based contracts with a term of at least one year was primarily due to the Domain product products, which are sold as premium listings for individual properties, as well as the transactional products and services sold by Matterport.
In response to inflation risk and other macroeconomic concerns, each of the U.S. Federal Reserve and The Reserve Bank of Australia have raised target interest rates in 2026 and borrowing costs for property owners remain elevated. These factors have contributed to a slowdown in real estate markets with lower transaction volumes and higher inventory in both the U.S. and Australia. This slowdown has resulted in increased economic headwinds for our residential and multifamily customers in the U.S. and reduced transaction volumes in our Domain business in Australia year-over-year.

Continuing to expand our CoStar offerings with additional modules, including new data and enhanced analytics.

This product allows users to make more confident decisions with real data rather than using less reliable asking rents or broker report information. We are developing launching CoStar Debt benchmarking. Solutions Benchmark. This feature will give lenders visibility to improve decisions across origination, portfolio risk, and compliance. We expect these enhancements will drive new subscribers and additional usage under one platform.

Adjusted EBITDA is different from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense; acquisition- and integration-related costs; restructuring and related costs, including certain advisory fees; and settlements and impairments incurred outside our ordinary course of business, including judgments and related recoveries thereon. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the period.

We view EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as operating performance measures. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income is net income (loss).

We view EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as operating performance measures. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income is net income (loss). We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA margin are earnings per diluted share and net income (loss) divided by revenue, respectively. In calculating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS, we exclude from net income (loss) the financial items that we believe should be separately identified to provide additional analysis of the financial components of the day-to-day operation of our business. We have outlined below the type and scope of these exclusions and the material limitations on the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as a result of these exclusions. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net income (loss), or as an indicator of any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as a substitute for any GAAP financial measure, including net income (loss) and earnings per diluted share. In addition, we urge investors and potential investors in our securities to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that are filed with the SEC, as well as our quarterly earnings releases, and compare the GAAP financial information with our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS may be used by management to internally measure our operating and management performance and may be used by investors as supplemental financial measures to evaluate the performance of our business. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provide additional information to investors that is useful to understand the factors and trends affecting our business without the impact of certain acquisition-related items. We have spent more than 35 years building our database of commercial real estate information and expanding our markets and services partially through acquisitions of complementary businesses. Due to these acquisitions, our net income (loss) has included significant charges for amortization of acquired intangible assets; depreciation and other amortization; acquisition- and integration-related costs, including gains or losses on equity investments acquired in prospective targets and related to deal-contingent financial instruments; interest income (expense); and restructuring and related costs, including certain advisory fees. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS exclude these charges and provide meaningful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from charges for amortization of acquired intangible assets; depreciation and other amortization; acquisition- and integration-related costs; restructuring and related costs, including certain advisory fees; and settlement and impairment costs incurred outside our ordinary course of business, including judgments and related, non-recurring interest and recoveries thereon. We believe the disclosure of non-GAAP measures can help investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our performance from quarter to quarter and from year to year without the impact of these items. We also believe the non-GAAP measures we disclose are measures of our ongoing operating performance because the isolation of non-cash charges, such as amortization and depreciation, and other items, such as interest income or expense, net; other expense or income, net; income taxes; stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition- and integration-related costs; interest income (expense); restructuring and related costs, including certain advisory fees; and settlement and impairment costs incurred outside our ordinary course of business, including judgments and related, non-recurring interest, and recoveries thereon, provides additional information about our cost structure, and, over time, helps track our operating progress. In addition, investors, securities analysts, and others have regularly relied on EBITDA and may rely on Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, or Adjusted EPS to provide a financial measure by which to compare our operating performance against that of other companies in our industry.

Income tax expense (benefit) may be useful for investors to consider because it generally represents the taxes that may be payable, or the benefit, for the period and the change in deferred income taxes during the period and may reduce the amount of funds otherwise available for use in our business. However, we do not consider the amount of income tax expense (benefit) to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business.
5 unchanged paragraphs
The financial items that have been excluded from our net income (loss) to calculate Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are amortization of acquired intangible assets and other related costs; stock-based compensation; acquisition- and integration-related costs, including gains or losses on equity investments acquired in prospective targets and related to deal-contingent financial instruments; restructuring and related costs; and settlement and impairment costs incurred outside our ordinary course of business, including judgments. These items are the same as discussed above with respect to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA together with the material limitations associated with using non-GAAP financial measures as compared to net income (loss). We further exclude non-recurring interest charges related to judgments and recoveries thereon from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as this may be useful for investors to consider because these non-recurring interest charges generally represent costs associated with the settlement of litigation matters, including judgments. We do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash charges related to our operating cost structure. In addition to these exclusions from net income (loss), we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to calculate Adjusted Net Income. In both 2026 and 2025, we assume a 26.0% tax rate, which approximates our historical long-term statutory corporate tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items.

Fluctuations in the British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, and Euro may have an impact on our business, results of operations, and financial position. For each of the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026, approximately 15% and 14% of our revenue, respectively, was denominated in foreign currencies. For the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026, our revenue would have decreased by approximately $13 $14 million and $25 $40 million, respectively, if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used strengthened by 10%.

We do not believe we have material exposure to market risks associated with changes in interest rates related to cash equivalent securities held as of June September 30, 2026. As of June September 30, 2026, we had $1.3 billion $500 million of cash and cash equivalents. If there is an increase or decrease in interest rates, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. We currently diversify our cash and cash equivalents holdings amongst multiple financial institutions and AAA-rated Government and Treasury Money Market Funds.
We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with our revolving credit facility.

As of June September 30, 2026, we believe our intangible assets will be recoverable; however, changes in the economy, the industry in which we operate, and our own relative performance could change the assumptions used to evaluate intangible asset recoverability. In the event that we determine that an asset has been impaired, we would recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. We continue to monitor these assumptions and their effect on the estimated recoverability of our intangible assets.
