To provide investors with additional information regarding our liquidity, we have disclosed Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment, purchases of intangible assets, net borrowings on repurchase agreements, and the initial payment in connection with the Redfin rentals partnership. Borrowings on repurchase agreements are used to fund Zillow Home Loans mortgage loan originations, and we consider them part of our ongoing liquidity management. The initial payment in connection with the Redfin rentals partnership was considered a one-time and nonrecurring cash flow, and we exclude it from our calculation as we believe it impacts the ability to evaluate the liquidity of our business operations on a period-to-period basis.We have included Adjusted free cash flow in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as it is a key metric used by…

We operate in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors, which are uncertain and difficult to predict. For example, we believe that potential changes in any of the following areas may have a significant impact on us in terms of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the health and stability of the economy and United States residential real estate industry, including changes in inflationary conditions, interest rates, housing availability and affordability, labor shortages and supply chain issues; our ability to navigate industry changes, including as a result of past, pending or future lawsuits, settlements or government investigations; uncertainties related to policy changes, or enforcement priorities, or government shutdowns at the federal and state levels; our ability to manage advertising, product inventory and pricing, and to maintain relationships with our real estate partners; our ability to comply with current and future rules and requirements promulgated by NAR, MLSs, or other real estate industry groups or governing bodies, and to maintain or establish relationships with listing and data providers; changes to our rights to use or timely access listing data, or to the quality or quantity of such listing data; our investment of resources to pursue strategies and develop new products and services that may not prove effective or that are not attractive for customers and real estate partners or that do not allow us to compete successfully; our ability to operate and grow the mortgage operations of Zillow Home Loans, our affiliate lender, including the ability to obtain or maintain sufficient financing and resell originated mortgages on the secondary market; the duration and impact of natural disasters, climate change, geopolitical events, and other catastrophic events (including public health crises) on our ability to operate, demand for our products or services, or general economic conditions; outcomes of legal proceedings and government investigations; our ability to attract, engage, and retain a highly skilled workforce; protection of Zillow Group's information and systems against security breaches or disruptions in operations; reliance on third-party services to support critical functions of our business; protection of our brand and intellectual property; and changes in laws or government regulation affecting our business, among other things.

In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance that modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing all references to project development stages. Under this guidance, eligible software development costs begin capitalization once management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied on a prospective, retrospective or modified basis, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Contingent consideration — In December 2023, Zillow Group acquired Follow Up Boss for $ 399 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and contingent consideration of up to $ 100 million, payable over a three-year period upon achievement of certain performance metrics. During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025, we paid $ 33 million in cash to settle the first earn out payment, the majority most of which represented settlement of the acquisition date fair value. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation which considers the probabilities of the achievement of certain performance metrics (Level 3).

We record acquisitions of our shares of capital stock as a reduction to capital stock at the par value of the shares reacquired, then to additional paid-in capital until it is depleted to a nominal amount, with any further excess recorded to retained earnings. We recorded an offsetting increase to additional paid-in capital for the settlement of the capped call transactions.

Legal proceedings 34 changes
We are involved in a number of legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities, some of which are at preliminary stages and some of which seek an indeterminate amount of damages. We regularly evaluate the status of legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred to determine if accruals are appropriate. We further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made if accruals are not appropriate. For certain cases described below, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss because, among other reasons, (i) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; (ii) specific damages have not been sought; (iii) damages sought are, in our view, unsupported and/or exaggerated; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (vi) there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories presented. For these cases, however, management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcomes of these proceedings will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow. For the matters discussed below, we have not recorded any material accruals as of June September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

On November 16, 2021, November 19, 2021 and January 6, 2022, three purported class action lawsuits were filed against us and certain of our executive officers, alleging, among other things, violations of federal securities laws on behalf of a class of those who purchased our stock between August 7, 2020 and November 2, 2021. The three purported class action lawsuits, captioned Barua v. Zillow Group, Inc. et al., Silverberg v. Zillow Group, et al. and Hillier v. Zillow Group, Inc. et al. were brought in the Court and were consolidated on February 16, 2022 (the "Federal Securities Suit"). On May 12, 2022, the plaintiffs filed their amended consolidated complaint which alleges, among other things, that we issued materially false and misleading statements regarding our Zillow Offers business. The complaints seek to recover, among other things, alleged damages sustained by the purported class members as a result of the alleged misconduct. On December 7, 2022, the Court rendered its decision granting our previously filed motion to dismiss, in part, and denying the motion, in part. On January 23, 2023, we filed our answer to the consolidated complaint. On March 14, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which was granted on August 23, 2024. On September 6, 2024, we filed a petition for permission to appeal the class certification order, on September 16, 2024, plaintiffs filed their opposition to our petition, and on September 23, 2024, we filed our reply in further support of the petition. On October 24, 2024, the Ninth Circuit issued an order granting Zillow permission to appeal. On January 8, 2025, we filed our opening brief in the appeal. On March 10, 2025, plaintiffs filed their response brief, and on April 30, 2025, we filed our reply brief. On November 1, 2024, the Court issued an order staying the Federal Securities Suit pending the outcome of the appeal, which was extended on October 10, 2025. On September 26, 2025, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the Court's class certification. On October 24, 2025, we filed an en banc petition before the Ninth Circuit seeking rehearing of the Ninth Circuit's September 26th decision. There is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred related to this matter; however, the possible loss or range of loss is not estimable. We deny the allegations of any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the claims in this consolidated lawsuit.
On March 10, 2022, May 5, 2022, July 20, 2022 and October 31, 2024, shareholder derivative suits were filed in the Court and on July 25, 2022, a shareholder derivative suit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, against us and certain of our executive officers and directors seeking unspecified damages on behalf of the Company and certain other relief, such as reform to corporate governance practices. The plaintiffs (including the Company as a nominal defendant) allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maintain an effective system of internal controls, which purportedly caused the losses the Company incurred when it decided to wind down Zillow Offers operations. Plaintiffs also allege, among other things, violations of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, insider trading and waste of corporate assets. On August 23, 2023, a second shareholder derivative suit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County. These shareholder derivative lawsuits have since been stayed by the relevant courts and they remain stayed as of June September 30, 2025. There is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred related to this matter; however, the possible loss or range of loss is not estimable. The defendants deny the allegations of any wrongdoing and vigorously defend the claims in these lawsuits.
On September 30, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Zillow Group, Inc., Zillow, Inc., and Redfin Corporation. On October 1, 2025, the Attorneys General of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the States of Arizona, Connecticut, New York, and Washington filed a similar complaint against the same parties in the same court. The complaints allege that the partnership entered into between Zillow and Redfin on February 6, 2025, harmed competition for online multifamily rental-listings in violation of federal antitrust laws. The plaintiffs seek injunctive and other equitable relief. We deny the allegations of any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the claims in these lawsuits.

Our financial performance is impacted by changes in the health of the housing market, which is impacted, in turn, by general economic conditions. Current market factors have been driven by low housing inventory, elevated and volatile mortgage interest rates, changes in rental inventory and occupancy rates, as well as home price fluctuations and inflationary conditions. These factors may impact the number of transactions consumers complete using our products and services and demand for our advertising services. According to residential real estate data collected and estimated by Zillow Group as published monthly on our site, TTV increased 2% 6% during the three months ended June September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June September 30, 2024 and increased 4% 5% during the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 as compared to the six nine months ended June September 30, 2024. We continue to invest in the growth of our business, which we believe has resulted in year over year total revenue results, described below, for the three and six nine month periods ended June September 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, that exceeded industry performance for the same periods. The extent to which market factors impact our results and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and difficult to predict.

The increase in Rentals revenue was also driven by growth in Average monthly rentals unique visitors which increased 13% decreased 3% to 36 35 million during the three months ended June September 30, 2025 from 32 36 million during the three months ended June September 30, 2024. We have estimated average monthly rentals unique visitors using Comscore data, which measures average monthly unique visitors on rental listings on Zillow, Trulia and HotPads mobile apps and websites, and on Realtor.com and Redfin and its sites, including Rent.com and ApartmentGuide.com. We expect Rentals revenue to increase in absolute dollars during the three months ending September 30, 2025, primarily driven by growth in multifamily revenue from the addition of new rental properties and in revenue per property as property managers upgrade their advertising spend.

We calculate Residential revenue per visit by dividing the revenue generated by our Residential offerings by the number of visits in the period. We expect Residential revenue to decrease in absolute dollars during the three months ending December 31, 2025, primarily due to the impact of seasonality on the residential real estate market.

The increase in mortgage originations revenue was also attributable to partially offset by a 5% increase 6% decrease in gain on sale margin. Gain on sale margin represents the net gain on sale of mortgage loans divided by total loan origination volume for the period.

In particular, we believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.

Market risk 3 changes

Under our current investment policy, we invest our excess cash in money market funds, U.S. government treasury securities, investment grade corporate securities, U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit and commercial paper. Our current investment policy seeks first to preserve capital, second to provide sufficient liquidity for our operating and capital needs and third to maximize yield.
1 unchanged paragraph
We are also subject to market risk which may impact our mortgage loan origination volume and associated revenue and the net interest margin derived from borrowings under our master repurchase agreements that provide capital for Zillow Home Loans. Market risk occurs in periods where changes in short-term interest rates result in mortgage loans being originated with terms that provide a smaller interest rate spread above the financing terms of our master repurchase agreements, which can negatively impact our results of operations. This risk is primarily mitigated through the expedited sale of our loans. As of June September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $230 $272 million and $145 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings on our master repurchase agreements which bear interest at a floating rate based on SOFR plus an applicable margin, as defined by the governing agreements. We manage the interest rate risk associated with our mortgage loan origination services through the use of forward sales of MBSs. Assuming no change in the outstanding borrowings on the master repurchase agreements, we estimate that a one percentage point increase in SOFR would not have a material effect on our interest expense associated with the master repurchase agreements for the three months ended June September 30, 2025.

The macroeconomic environment in the United States has experienced, and continues to experience, inflationary pressures. These pressures may escalate due to changes in federal policy, including proposed or newly implemented tariffs. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of these inflationary pressures on our business, we believe these effects have been pervasive throughout our business during the past several years. During this time, ongoing inflationary pressures in the United States have led to increases in the federal funds rate. Despite inflation stabilizing beginning in the second half of 2023 and the federal funds rate decreasing in over the second half of 2024 and remaining stable since that time, past year, prior federal funds rate increases have impacted other market rates derived from this benchmark rate, including mortgage interest rates. The persistently high mortgage interest rates across the industry relative to recent years has impacted the number of transactions consumers complete using our products and services and the demand for our advertising services and mortgage origination offerings and, in turn, had an adverse impact on our revenue.

Risk factors 6 changes
There have not been any material changes to The following risk factors affecting our business, financial condition or future results from those factor updates the corresponding risk factor set forth in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. However, You should carefully consider the factors discussed risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
We are from time to time involved in, and have in the past or may in the future be subject to claims, suits, government investigations, enforcement actions, and other proceedings (collectively, "legal proceedings") that may result in adverse outcomes.
We are from time to time involved in, and have in the past or may in the future be subject to legal proceedings arising from our business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, privacy, consumer protection, information security, mortgage brokering, mortgage origination, real estate, real estate brokerage, environmental, data protection, antitrust, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (RESPA), fair housing or fair lending, compliance with securities laws, or law enforcement matters, tax matters, labor and employment, and commercial claims, as well as actions involving content generated by our customers, shareholder derivative actions, purported class action lawsuits, and other matters. We are also from time to time involved in, and have in the past or may in the future be subject to legal proceedings arising from or related to discontinued products and services, including actions with respect to the purchase, renovation and resale of properties, including homes previously held in our inventory.
The number and scope of potential legal proceedings may increase as our business expands and our products and services evolve. For example, in recent months, we have been named in complaints filed by the Federal Trade Commission, certain state attorneys general, Compass, Inc., CoStar Group, Inc., and a consumer plaintiff, alleging antitrust, intellectual property, consumer protection, RESPA, and other claims. See Note 11 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about certain of these and other legal proceedings.
These and other legal proceedings that we are, have, or may be involved in are inherently uncertain, and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardless of the outcome, any such legal proceedings could have an adverse impact on us because of legal costs, diversion of management and other personnel, and other factors. In addition, it is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could result in reputational harm, liability, fines, penalties, or sanctions, as well as judgments, consent decrees, or orders preventing us from offering certain features, functionalities, products, or services, or requiring a change in our business practices, products or technologies, which could in the future materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
In some instances, third parties may have an obligation to indemnify us for liabilities related to litigation or governmental investigations, and they may be unable to, or fail to, fulfill such obligations. If such third parties failed to indemnify us, we may be financially responsible, which could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flow.

On August 19, 2025 , Bradley D. Owens , General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company, entered into a 10b5-1 sales plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. This 10b5-1 sales plan provides for (1) the sale of up to 470,670 shares of Class C capital stock related to the exercise of option awards granted to Mr. Owens and (2) the sale of an indeterminate number of shares of Class C capital stock related to the vesting of restricted stock units granted to Mr. Owens. The number of shares of Class C capital stock that will be sold under this 10b5-1 sales plan related to vesting of restricted stock unit awards is not yet determinable because (i) certain future awards granted during the life of the plan that follow the same vesting schedule as existing awards under the plan may be covered by the terms of the plan and (ii) for each vested restricted stock unit award that is covered by the terms of the plan, an unknown number of shares will be sold to satisfy tax withholding prior to any sale occurring under the terms of the plan. This 10b5-1 sales plan will become effective on November 19, 2025 and will terminate on August 19, 2027 , subject to earlier termination as provided in the plan.
