Frontdoor shares tumble as Q1 guidance disappoints despite Q4 beat

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -On Thursday, Frontdoor , Inc. (NASDAQ:FTDR) reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat analyst expectation.

The company’s shares fell -7.29% in premarket trading as first-quarter guidance came in below estimates.

The home warranty provider posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.27, significantly above the $0.06 analyst consensus. Revenue rose 5% YoY to $383 million, also topping expectations of $374.46 million.

However, Frontdoor’s outlook for the first quarter of 2025 appears to have disappointed investors. The company guided for Q1 revenue of $410-420 million and adjusted EBITDA of $70-80 million, which it noted was "similar to the prior-year period."

For the full year 2025, Frontdoor expects revenue growth of approximately 10% to $2.0-2.04 billion, above the $1.94 billion analyst consensus. The company projects adjusted EBITDA of $450-475 million for 2025.

"2024 was truly an exceptional year for Frontdoor as we delivered record financial results, our operations performed better than ever and we completed the acquisition of 2-10," said Chairman and CEO Bill Cobb.

The company noted it utilized $160 million to repurchase about 4 million shares in 2024. Frontdoor also completed its acquisition of 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty in December.
