As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Zillow Group,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Zillow Group, Inc., unless the context indicates otherwise.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Part I, Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), contains forward-looking statements based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and generally may be identified by terms such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “expect” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those risks, uncertainties and assumptions described in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, including, but not limited to risks related to:

•the current and future 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 manage advertising inventory and pricing and maintain relationships with our real estate partners;

•our ability to establish or maintain relationships with listing and data providers, which affects traffic to our mobile applications and websites;

•our ability to comply with current and future multiple listing service (“MLS”) rules and requirements;

•our ability to continue to innovate and compete successfully to attract customers and real estate partners;

•our ability to operate and grow Zillow Home Loans, our mortgage origination business, including the ability to obtain or maintain sufficient financing to fund its origination of mortgages, meet customers’ financing needs with its product offerings, continue to grow the origination business and resell originated mortgages on the secondary market;

•the duration and impact of natural disasters and other catastrophic events (including public health crises) on our ability to operate, demand for our products or services, or general economic conditions;

•our ability to maintain adequate security measures or technology systems, or those of third parties on which we rely, to protect data integrity and the information and privacy of our customers and other third parties;

•the impact of pending or future litigation and other disputes or enforcement actions;

•our ability to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce;

•acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships, capital-raising activities, or other corporate transactions or commitments by us or our competitors;

•our ability to continue relying on third-party services to support critical functions of our business;

•our ability to protect and continue using our intellectual property and prevent others from copying, infringing upon, or developing similar intellectual property;

•our ability to comply with domestic and international laws, regulations, rules, contractual obligations, policies and other obligations, or to obtain or maintain required licenses to support our business and operations;

•our ability to pay debt, settle conversions of our convertible senior notes, or repurchase our convertible senior notes upon a fundamental change;

•our ability to raise additional capital or refinance on acceptable terms, or at all;

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in quarterly and annual results of operations and financial position;

•the assumptions, estimates and internal or third-party data that we use to calculate business, performance and operating metrics; and

•volatility of our Class A common stock and Class C capital stock prices.

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Table of Contents

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

In addition, statements such as “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information.

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

Zillow Group is reimagining real estate to make home a reality for more and more people. As the most visited real estate website in the United States, Zillow and its affiliates help people find and get the home they want by connecting them with digital solutions, great partners, and easier buying, selling, financing and renting experiences.

Our portfolio of affiliates, subsidiaries and brands includes Zillow, Zillow Premier Agent, Zillow Home Loans (our affiliate lender), Zillow Rentals, Trulia, StreetEasy, HotPads and Out East. In addition, Zillow Group provides a comprehensive suite of marketing software and technology solutions for the real estate industry, including Mortech, New Home Feed and ShowingTime+, which includes ShowingTime, Bridge Interactive and dotloop.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we began to wind down the operations of Zillow Offers, our iBuying business which purchased and sold homes directly in markets across the country. The wind down was completed in the third quarter of 2022, and we have presented the financial results of Zillow Offers as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. No assets or liabilities were classified as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2022. See Note 3 for additional information.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties

We operate in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, we believe that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on us in terms of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: current and future 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 manage advertising inventory and pricing and maintain relationships with our real estate partners; our compliance with multiple listing service rules and requirements to access and use listing data, and to maintain or establish relationships with listings and data providers; 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 Zillow Home Loans, our mortgage origination business, including the ability to obtain or maintain sufficient financing and resell originated mortgages on the secondary market; the duration and impact of natural disasters 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; our ability to attract and

retain a highly skilled workforce; protection of Zillow’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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Zillow Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in Zillow Group, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on February 15, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements of Zillow Group, Inc. as of that date.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2023 and our results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and shareholders’ equity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, for any interim period, or for any other future year. Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relates to our continuing operations and does not include the results of discontinued operations.

There were no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, except for the updates noted below. Such updates were made due to our determination that we have a single operating and reportable segment, as well as certain changes to how we disaggregate our revenue into categories, beginning in the first quarter of 2023.

Recoverability of Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred for an acquired business over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, and is not amortized. We assess the impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, in our fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. In our evaluation of goodwill, we initially perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of each reporting unit is greater than its fair value. If it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, we perform a quantitative assessment and an impairment charge is recorded in our statements of operations if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

Beginning in 2023, our chief operating decision maker, who is our chief executive officer, manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance on the basis of the company as a whole, instead of on a segment basis as he did prior to 2023. This aligns to our ongoing growth strategy and our intent to provide integrated customer solutions for all tasks and services related to facilitating real estate transactions. This resulted in revisions to the nature and substance of information regularly provided to and used by the chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, we have realigned our operating structure, resulting in a single operating and reportable segment. In line with this, the nature and substance of the information regularly provided to our segment manager similarly changed, and we determined that we have only one reporting unit. Because the segment change impacted the structure of our reporting units, we performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment immediately before and immediately after the change in reporting units. Based on those assessments, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of our current and legacy reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, we concluded that it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring control of the promised products or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those products or services.

As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service is generally one year or less.

We do not disclose the transaction price related to remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for performance completed to date. The remaining duration over which we satisfy our performance obligations is generally less than one year.

We disaggregate our revenue into the following categories: Residential, Rentals, Mortgages and Other, described below.

Residential. Residential revenue includes revenue generated by our Premier Agent and new construction marketplaces, as well as revenue from the sale of advertising and business technology solutions for real estate professionals through StreetEasy for-sale product offerings and ShowingTime+.

Our Premier Agent program offers a suite of marketing and technology products and services to help real estate agents and brokers achieve their advertising goals while growing and managing their businesses and brands. All Premier Agent partners receive access to a dashboard portal on our mobile application and website that provides individualized program performance analytics, our customer relationship management tool that captures detailed information about each contact made with a Premier Agent partner through our mobile and web platforms and our account management tools. The marketing and business technology products and services promised to Premier Agent partners are delivered over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the performance obligations.

Premier Agent advertising products, which include the delivery of validated customer connections, or leads, are primarily offered on a share of voice basis. Payment is received prior to the delivery of connections. Connections are delivered when consumer contact information is provided to Premier Agent partners. We do not promise any minimum or maximum number of connections to customers, but instead control when and how many connections to deliver based on a customer’s share of voice. We determine the number of connections to deliver to Premier Agent partners in each zip code using a market-based pricing method in consideration of the total amount spent by Premier Agent partners to purchase connections in the zip code during the month. This results in the delivery of connections over time in proportion to each Premier Agent partners’ share of voice. A Premier Agent partners’ share of voice in a zip code is determined by their proportional monthly prepaid spend in that zip code as a percentage of the total monthly prepaid spend of all Premier Agent partners in that zip code, and determines the proportion of consumer connections a Premier Agent partner receives. The number of connections delivered for a given spend level is dynamic - as demand for advertising in a zip code increases or decreases, the number of connections delivered to a Premier Agent partner in that zip code decreases or increases accordingly.

We primarily recognize revenue related to the Premier Agent products and services based on the monthly prepaid spend recognized on a straight-line basis during the monthly billing period over which the products and services are provided. This methodology best depicts how we satisfy our performance obligations to customers, as we continuously transfer control of the performance obligations to the customer over time. Given a Premier Agent partner typically prepays their monthly spend and the monthly spend is refunded on a pro-rata basis upon cancellation of the contract by a customer, we have determined that Premier Agent partner contracts are effectively daily contracts, and each performance obligation is satisfied over time as each day lapses. We have not allocated the transaction price to each performance obligation within our Premier Agent partner arrangements, as the amounts recognized would be the same irrespective of any allocation.

Table of Contents

We also offer a pay for performance pricing model called “Flex” for Premier Agent advertising services in certain markets. Flex is available to select partners alongside our legacy market-based pricing model. With the Flex model, Premier Agent partners are provided with validated leads at no initial cost and pay a performance advertising fee only when a real estate transaction is closed with one of the leads, generally within two years. With this pricing model, the transaction price represents variable consideration, as the amount to which we expect to be entitled varies based on the number of validated leads that convert into real estate transactions and the value of those transactions. We estimate variable consideration and record revenue as performance obligations, or validated leads, are transferred. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of transactions closed is subsequently resolved. We record a contract asset for our estimate of the consideration to which we will be entitled when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional, upon the close of a real estate transaction, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable.

Our new construction marketing solutions allow home builders to showcase their available inventory to home shoppers. New construction revenue primarily includes revenue generated by advertising sold to builders on a cost per residential community basis whereby we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis during the contractual period over which the communities are advertised on our mobile applications and websites. New construction revenue also includes revenue generated on a cost per impression basis whereby we recognize revenue as impressions are delivered to users interacting with our mobile applications and websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice. Consideration for new construction products is billed in arrears.

StreetEasy for-sale revenue primarily consists of our pay for performance pricing model available in the New York City market for which agents and brokers are provided with leads at no initial cost and pay a performance referral fee only when a real estate purchase transaction is closed with one of the leads. Under the StreetEasy pricing model, the transaction price represents variable consideration, as the amount to which we expect to be entitled varies based on the number of leads that convert into real estate transactions and the value of those transactions. We estimate variable consideration based on the expected number of closed transactions during the period. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of transactions closed is subsequently resolved. We record a corresponding contract asset for the estimate of variable consideration for StreetEasy Experts when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional upon the close of a real estate transaction, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable.

Our dotloop real estate transaction management software-as-a-service solution is primarily billed in advance on a monthly basis and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period which aligns to our satisfaction of performance obligations.

ShowingTime revenue is primarily generated by Appointment Center, a software-as-a-service and call center solution allowing real estate agents, brokerages and multiple listing services to efficiently schedule real estate viewing appointments on behalf of their customers. Appointment Center revenue is primarily billed in advance on a monthly basis and recognized ratably over the contract period which aligns to our satisfaction of performance obligations.

Rentals. Rentals revenue includes the sale of advertising and a suite of tools to rental professionals, landlords and other market participants under the Zillow and StreetEasy brands. Rentals revenue includes revenue generated by advertising sold to property managers, landlords and other rental professionals on a cost per lead, lease, listing or impression basis or for a fixed fee for certain advertising packages. We recognize revenue as leads, clicks and impressions are provided to rental professionals, or as rental listings are published on our mobile applications and websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice. We recognize revenue related to our fixed fee rentals product on a straight-line basis over the contract term as the performance obligations, rental listings on our mobile applications and websites, are satisfied over time based on time elapsed. The number of leases generated through our rentals pay per lease product, Zillow Lease Connect, during the period is accounted for as variable consideration, and we estimate the amount of variable consideration based on the expected number of qualified leases secured during the period. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of leases secured is subsequently resolved. We record a corresponding contract asset for the estimate of variable consideration for Zillow Lease Connect when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional upon the execution of a lease, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable. Rentals revenue also includes revenue generated from our rental applications product, through which potential renters can submit applications to multiple properties for a flat service fee. We recognize revenue for the rental applications product on a straight-line basis during the contractual period over which the customer has the right to access and submit the rental application.

Mortgages. Mortgages revenue primarily includes revenue generated by Zillow Home Loans, our affiliated mortgage lender, and marketing products sold to mortgage professionals on a cost per lead basis, including our Custom Quote and Connect services.

Mortgage origination revenue reflects origination fees on purchase or refinance mortgages and the corresponding sale, or expected future sale, of a loan. When an interest rate lock commitment (“IRLC”) is made to a customer, we record the expected gain on sale of the mortgage, plus the estimated earnings from the expected sale of the associated servicing rights, adjusted for a pull-through percentage (which is defined as the likelihood that an interest rate lock commitment will be originated), as revenue. Revenue from loan origination fees is recognized at the time the related purchase or refinance transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow and when we fund the purchase or refinance mortgage loans. Once funded, mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value based on either sale commitments or current market quotes and are adjusted for subsequent changes in fair value until the loan is sold. Origination costs associated with originating mortgage loans are recognized as incurred. We sell substantially all of the mortgages we originate and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers.

Mortgage loans are sold with limited recourse provisions, which can result in repurchases of loans previously sold to investors or payments to reimburse investors for loan losses. Based on historical experience, discussions with our mortgage purchasers, analysis of the volume of mortgages we originated and current housing and credit market conditions, we estimate and record a loss reserve for mortgage loans held in our portfolio and mortgage loans held for sale, as well as known and projected mortgage loan repurchase requests. These have historically not been significant to our financial statements.

Zillow Group operates Custom Quote and Connect through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zillow Group Marketplace, Inc., a licensed mortgage broker. For our Connect and Custom Quote cost per lead marketing products, participating qualified mortgage professionals typically make a prepayment to gain access to consumers interested in connecting with mortgage professionals. Mortgage professionals who exhaust their initial prepayment prepay additional funds to continue to participate in the marketplace. In Zillow Group’s Connect platform, consumers answer a series of questions to find a local lender, and mortgage professionals receive consumer contact information, or leads, when the consumer chooses to share their information with a lender. Consumers who request rates for mortgage loans in Custom Quotes are presented with customized quotes from participating mortgage professionals. For our cost per lead mortgages products, we recognize revenue when a user contacts a mortgage professional through our mortgages platform, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice.

Other. Other revenue includes revenue generated from display products, which consist of graphical mobile and web advertising sold on a cost per thousand impressions or cost per click basis to advertisers promoting their brands on our mobile applications and websites. We recognize display revenue as clicks occur or as impressions are delivered to users interacting with our mobile applications or websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounting for certain revenue offerings, restructuring costs, amortization period and recoverability of contract cost assets, website and software development costs, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets, share-based compensation, income taxes, the presentation of discontinued and continuing operations, business combinations and the recoverability of goodwill, among others. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The health of the residential housing market and interest rate environment have introduced significant additional uncertainty with respect to estimates, judgments and assumptions, which may materially impact the estimates previously listed, among others.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to improve existing measurement and disclosure requirements for equity securities that are subject to a contractual sale restriction. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2024. We have not yet determined the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 3. Discontinued Operations

Zillow Offers Wind Down

In November 2021, the Board of Directors of Zillow Group (the “Board”) made the determination to wind down Zillow Offers operations. This decision was made in light of home pricing unpredictability, capacity constraints and other operational challenges faced by Zillow Offers that were exacerbated by an unprecedented housing market, a global pandemic and a difficult labor and supply chain environment, all of which led us to conclude that, despite its initial promise in earlier quarters, Zillow Offers was unlikely to be a sufficiently stable line of business to meet our goals going forward.

The wind down of Zillow Offers was completed in the third quarter of 2022, at which time Zillow Offers met the criteria for discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have presented the results of operations, excluding allocation of any general corporate expenses, of Zillow Offers as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. No assets or liabilities were classified as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2022.

The following table presents the major classes of line items of the discontinued operations included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in millions):

Restructuring

Restructuring charges attributable to continuing operations relate to employee termination costs and certain indirect costs that do not qualify as discontinued operations. Restructuring costs totaled $2 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and primarily pertained to employee termination costs that did not relate to the Zillow Offers wind down.

There were no restructuring costs attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Restructuring costs totaled $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and were related to the Zillow Offers wind down. Cumulative restructuring charges attributable to continuing operations related to the Zillow Offers wind down as of June 30, 2022 totaled $23 million.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

We apply the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value measurements:

Cash equivalents — The fair value measurement of money market funds is based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1). The fair value measurement of other cash equivalents is based on observable market-based inputs principally derived from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2).

Short-term investments — The fair value measurement of our short-term investments is based on observable market-based inputs or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2).

Restricted cash — The carrying value of restricted cash approximates fair value due to the short period of time amounts are held in escrow (Level 1).

Mortgage loans held for sale — The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics (Level 2).

Forward contracts — The fair value of mandatory loan sales commitments and derivative instruments such as forward sales of mortgage-backed securities that are utilized as economic hedging instruments is calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets (Level 2).

Interest rate lock commitments — The fair value of IRLCs is calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics. Expired commitments are excluded from the fair value measurement. Since not all IRLCs will become closed loans, we adjust our fair value measurements for the estimated amount of IRLCs that will not close. This adjustment is effected through the pull-through rate, which represents the probability that an IRLC will ultimately result in a closed loan. For IRLCs that are cancelled or expire, any recorded gain or loss is reversed at the end of the commitment period (Level 3).

The pull-through rate is based on estimated changes in market conditions, loan stage and historical borrower behavior. Pull-through rates are directly related to the fair value of IRLCs as an increase in the pull-through rate, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the pull-through rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs are included within revenue in our condensed

Comerica Bank	December 29, 2023	50		7.05	%
	Total	$	200

On May 25, 2023, the Zillow Home Loans master repurchase agreement with Credit Suisse was reassigned to Atlas Securitized Products, L.P. (“Atlas”). No other material changes were made to the master repurchase agreement in connection with the reassignment.

On June 1, 2023, Zillow Home Loans entered into a master repurchase agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMC”). The master repurchase agreement provides a total maximum borrowing capacity of $100 million, $25 million of which is committed, until May 30, 2024.

On June 9, 2023, the Zillow Home Loans master repurchase agreement with Citibank N.A., which had a maximum borrowing capacity of $100 million, expired and was not renewed.

On June 24, 2023, Zillow Home Loans amended its warehouse line of credit with Comerica Bank to extend the maturity date to December 29, 2023. In accordance with this amendment, Zillow Home Loans will not be permitted to draw additional amounts on the warehouse line of credit after September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

In accordance with the master repurchase agreements, Atlas and JPMC (together the “Lenders”) have agreed to pay Zillow Home Loans a negotiated purchase price for eligible loans, and Zillow Home Loans has simultaneously agreed to repurchase such loans from the Lenders under a specified timeframe at an agreed upon price that includes interest. The master repurchase agreements contain margin call provisions that provide the Lenders with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the assets purchased under the master repurchase agreements. At both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $28 million in mortgage loans held for sale were pledged as collateral under the master repurchase agreements.

The convertible notes are senior unsecured obligations. The convertible senior notes maturing in 2026 (“2026 Notes”), 2025 (“2025 Notes”) and 2024 (“2024 Notes”) (together, the “Notes”) are classified as long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets based on their contractual maturity dates. Interest on the convertible notes is paid semi-annually in arrears. The estimated fair value of the convertible senior notes is classified as Level 2 and was determined through consideration of quoted market prices in markets that are not active.

The Notes are convertible into cash, shares of Class C capital stock or a combination thereof, at our election, and may be settled as described below. They will mature on their respective maturity date, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms.

The following table summarizes the conversion and redemption options with respect to the Notes:

There were no conversions of the Notes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

The last reported sale price of our Class C capital stock did not exceed 130% of the conversion price of each series of the Notes for more than 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ended June 30, 2023. Accordingly, each series of the Notes is not redeemable or convertible at the option of the holders from July 1 through September 30, 2023.

For additional details related to our convertible senior notes, see Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Note 9. Income Taxes

Table of Contents

Our income tax expense or benefit for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account for the relevant period. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate on a quarterly basis and make year-to-date adjustments to the tax provision or benefit, as applicable. We recorded income tax expense of $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to state income taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit of $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and an income tax benefit of $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to state income taxes.

Note 10. Share Repurchase Authorizations

Prior to July 31, 2023, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $1.8 billion of our Class A common stock, Class C capital stock, outstanding convertible senior notes or a combination thereof (together the “Repurchase Authorizations”). For additional information on these authorizations, see Note 13 to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Repurchases of stock under the Repurchase Authorizations may be made in open-market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by management, and may be made from time to time as determined by management depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume, cash needs and other business factors, in each case as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. As of June 30, 2023, $264 million remained available for future repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Authorizations. On July 31, 2023, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $750 million of our Class A common stock, Class C capital stock, convertible senior notes or a combination thereof, which increases the amount available for future repurchases to $1.0 billion under our total Repurchase Authorizations of $2.5 billion.

In addition to the option awards and restricted stock units typically granted under the Zillow Group, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) which vest quarterly over four years, during the first quarter of 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved option and restricted stock unit awards granted under the 2020 Plan in connection with the 2022 annual review cycle that vest quarterly over three years.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no material changes to the commitments disclosed in Note 18 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Legal Proceedings

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 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

In August and September 2017, two 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 common stock between February 12, 2016 and August 8, 2017. One of those purported class actions, captioned Vargosko v. Zillow Group, Inc. et al, was brought in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The other purported class action lawsuit, captioned Shotwell v. Zillow Group, Inc. et al, was brought in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The complaints allege, among other things, that during the period between February 12, 2016 and August 8, 2017, we issued materially false and misleading statements regarding our business practices. The complaints seek to recover, among other things, alleged damages sustained by the purported class members as a result of the alleged misconduct. In November 2017, an amended complaint was filed against us and certain of our executive officers in the Shotwell v. Zillow Group purported class action lawsuit, extending the beginning of the class period to November 17, 2014. In January 2018, the Vargosko v. Zillow Group purported class action lawsuit was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and consolidated with the Shotwell v. Zillow Group purported class action lawsuit. In February 2018, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, and in April 2018, we filed our motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. In October 2018, our motion to dismiss was granted without prejudice, and in November 2018, the plaintiffs filed a second consolidated amended complaint, which we moved to dismiss in December 2018. On April 19, 2019, our motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended complaint was denied. On October 11, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification which was granted by the court on October 28, 2020. On February 17, 2021, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied our petition for review of that decision. On October 21, 2022, the parties jointly filed a notice of settlement with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington to inform the court that the parties have reached an agreement to settle this action. On March 31, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking preliminary approval of the parties’ proposed settlement, which motion was granted by the court on April 3, 2023. The terms of the parties’ proposed settlement agreement are contained in the settlement documents filed with the court on March 31, 2023. The court has set August 8, 2023 as the hearing date for final approval of the settlement. The full amount of the settlement payment has been paid by our insurance carriers under the applicable insurance policy and pursuant to the terms of the proposed settlement, and is currently being held in escrow by plaintiff’s counsel pending final approval of the settlement.

In October and November 2017 and January and February 2018, four shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, against 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 in the derivative suits (in which the Company is a nominal defendant) allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with oversight of the Company’s public statements and legal compliance, and as a result of the breach of such fiduciary duties, the Company was damaged, and defendants were unjustly enriched. Certain of the plaintiffs also allege, among other things, violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and waste of corporate assets. On February 5, 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington consolidated the two federal shareholder derivative lawsuits pending in that court (the “Federal Suit”). On February 16, 2018, the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, consolidated the two shareholder derivative lawsuits pending in that court (the “State Suit”). The Federal Suit and State Suit were stayed until our motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended complaint in the securities class action lawsuit discussed above was denied in April 2019. On July 8, 2019, the plaintiffs in the Federal Suit filed a consolidated shareholder derivative complaint, which we moved to dismiss on August 22, 2019. On February 28, 2020, our motion to dismiss the Federal Suit was denied. On February 16, 2021, the court in the State Suit matter stayed the action. On March 5, 2021, a new shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against 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, alleging, among other things, violations of federal securities laws. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington formally consolidated the new lawsuit with the other consolidated Federal Suit pending in that court on June 15, 2021. On November 14, 2022, the parties jointly filed a stipulation with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington informing the court that, among other things, they have agreed in principle to all material terms of a settlement. On April 20, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking preliminary approval of the parties’ proposed settlement, which motion was granted by the court on April 25, 2023. The terms of the parties’ proposed settlement agreement are contained in the settlement documents filed with the court on April 20, 2023 and found on Zillow’s Investor Relations page at https://investors.zillowgroup.com/investors/resources/investor-faqs/default.aspx. The court has set August 29, 2023 as the hearing date for final approval of the settlement. The full amount of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs associated with the settlement is expected to be paid by our insurance carriers under the applicable insurance policy and pursuant to the terms of the proposed settlement.

On September 17, 2019, International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging, among other things, that the Company has infringed and continues to willfully infringe seven patents held by IBM and seeks unspecified damages, including a request that the amount of compensatory damages be trebled, injunctive relief and costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. On November 8, 2019, we filed a motion to transfer venue and/or to dismiss the complaint. On December 2, 2019, IBM filed an amended complaint, and on December 16, 2019 we filed a renewed motion to transfer venue and/or to dismiss the complaint. Our motion to transfer venue to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington was granted on May 28, 2020. On August 12, 2020, IBM filed its answer to our counterclaims. On September 18, 2020, we filed four Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) petitions before the U.S. Patent and Trial Appeal Board (“PTAB”) seeking the Board’s review of the patentability with respect to three of the patents asserted by IBM in the lawsuit. On March 15, 2021, the PTAB instituted IPR proceedings with respect to two of the three patents for which we filed petitions. On March 22, 2021, the PTAB denied institution with respect to the last of the three patents. On January 22, 2021, the court partially stayed the action with respect to all patents for which we filed an IPR and set forth a motion schedule. On March 8, 2021, IBM filed its second amended complaint. On March 25, 2021, we filed an amended motion for judgment on the pleadings. On July 15, 2021, the court rendered an order in connection with the motion for judgment on the pleadings finding in our favor on two of the four patents on which we filed our motion. On August 31, 2021, the Court ruled that the parties will proceed with respect to the two patents for which it previously denied judgment, and vacated the stay with respect to one of the three patents for which Zillow filed an IPR, which stay was later reinstated by stipulation of the parties on May 18, 2022. On September 23, 2021, IBM filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit with respect to the August 31, 2021 judgment entered, which judgment was affirmed by the Federal Circuit on October 17, 2022. On March 3, 2022, the PTAB ruled on Zillow’s two remaining IPRs finding that Zillow was able to prove certain claims unpatentable, and others it was not. On October 28, 2022, the court found one of the two patents upon which the parties were proceeding in this action as invalid, and dismissed IBM’s claim relating to that patent. Following the court’s ruling, on October 28, 2022, the parties filed a joint stipulation with the court seeking a stay of this action, which was granted by the court on November 1, 2022. On November 25, 2022, Zillow filed a motion to join an IPR petition within Ebates Performance Mktg., Inc. d/b/a Rakuten Rewards v. Int’l Bus. Machs. Corp., IPR2022-00646 concerning the final remaining patent in this action, which the court granted on April 20, 2023. We deny the allegations of any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the claims in the lawsuit. 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.

On July 21, 2020, IBM filed a second action against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleging, among other things, that the Company has infringed and continues to willfully infringe five patents held by IBM and seeks unspecified damages. On September 14, 2020, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint filed in the action, to which IBM responded by the filing of an amended complaint on November 5, 2020. On December 18, 2020, we filed a motion to dismiss IBM’s first amended complaint. On December 23, 2020, the Court issued a written order staying this case in full. On July 23, 2021, we filed an IPR with the PTAB with respect to one patent included in the second lawsuit. On October 6, 2021, the stay of this action was lifted, except for proceedings relating to the one patent for which we filed an IPR. On December 1, 2021, the Court dismissed the fourth claim asserted by IBM in its amended complaint. On December 16, 2021 Zillow filed a motion to dismiss the remaining claims alleged in IBM’s amended complaint. On March 9, 2022, the Court granted Zillow’s motion to dismiss in full, dismissing IBM’s claims related to all the patents asserted by IBM in this action, except for the one patent for which an IPR was still pending. On March 10, 2022, the PTAB rendered its decision denying Zillow’s IPR on the one remaining patent, for which this case continues to remain stayed. On August 1, 2022, IBM filed an appeal of the Court’s ruling with respect to two of the dismissed patents. Zillow’s responsive brief was filed on September 30, 2022, and IBM’s reply brief was filed on November 4, 2022. We deny the allegations of any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the claims in the lawsuit. 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.

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 U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and were consolidated on February 16, 2022. 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. We moved to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on July 11, 2022, plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motion to dismiss on September 2, 2022, and we filed a reply in support of the motion to dismiss on October 11, 2022. On December 7, 2022, the court rendered its decision granting defendants’ motion to dismiss, in part, and denying the motion, in part. On January 23, 2023, the defendants filed their answer to the consolidated complaint. We intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the claims in this consolidated lawsuit. We do not believe that a loss related to this consolidated lawsuit is probable.

On March 10, 2022, May 5, 2022 and July 20, 2022 shareholder derivative suits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and on July 25, 2022, a shareholder derivative suit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County (the “2022 State Suit”), 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, insider trading and waste of corporate assets. On June 1, 2022 and September 14, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington issued orders consolidating the three federal derivative suits and staying the consolidated action until further order of the court. On September 15, 2022, the Superior Court of the State of Washington entered a temporary stay in the 2022 State Suit. Upon the filing of the defendants’ answer in the related securities class action lawsuit on January 23, 2023, the stay in the 2022 State Suit was lifted. A partial stay was then reentered in the 2022 State Suit on June 26, 2023. The defendants intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and vigorously defend the claims in these lawsuits. We do not believe that a loss related to these lawsuits is probable.

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, we are involved in litigation and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot be certain of the outcome of any such litigation or claims, nor the amount of damages and exposure that we could incur, we currently believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters. For additional information regarding our indemnifications, see Note 18 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Note 14. Revenue and Contract Balances

Beginning in 2023, our chief executive officer, who acts as the chief operating decision maker, manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance on the basis of the company as a whole, instead of on a segment basis as he did prior to 2023. Accordingly, this change resulted in revisions to the nature and substance of information regularly provided to and used by the chief operating decision maker. This serves to align our reported results with our ongoing growth strategy and our intent to provide integrated customer solutions for all tasks and services related to facilitating real estate transactions. As a result, we have determined that we have a single reportable segment. Our revenues are classified into four categories: Residential, Rentals, Mortgages and Other. Certain prior period amounts have been revised to reflect these changes.

The Residential revenue category primarily includes revenue for our Premier Agent and new construction marketplaces, as well as revenue from the sale of other advertising and business technology solutions for real estate professionals, including StreetEasy for-sale product offerings and ShowingTime+. Our Rentals and Mortgages revenue categories remain consistent with our historical presentation, and our Other revenue category primarily includes revenue generated from display advertising.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by category for the periods presented (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Residential	$	380	$	392	$	741	$	810
Rentals	91		71		165		132
Mortgages	24		29		50		75
Other	11		12		19		23
Total revenue	$	506	$	504	$	975	$	1,040

Contract Balances

Contract assets represent our right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that we have transferred to the customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are primarily related to our Premier Agent Flex, Zillow Lease Connect and StreetEasy Experts offerings, whereby we estimate variable consideration based on the expected number of real estate transactions to be closed for Premier Agent Flex and StreetEasy Experts, and qualified leases to be secured for Zillow Lease Connect. The current portion of contract assets is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion of contract assets is recorded within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $90 million and $71 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which relates to payments received in advance of performance under a revenue contract. Deferred revenue is primarily related to prepaid advertising fees received or billed in advance of satisfying our performance obligations and prepaid but unrecognized subscription revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized when or as we satisfy our obligations under contracts with customers.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the opening balance of deferred revenue was $49 million, of which $46 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the opening balance of deferred revenue was $56 million, of which $52 million was recognized as revenue during the period.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the opening balance of deferred revenue was $44 million, of which $42 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the opening balance of deferred revenue was $51 million, of which $49 million was recognized as revenue during the period. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, deferred revenue was $49 million and $52 million, respectively.

Note 15. Subsequent Event

Acquisition of Aryeo, Inc.

On July 31, 2023, Zillow Group, Inc. acquired Aryeo, Inc., a software company which serves real estate photographers, for approximately $35 million in a combination of cash and our Class C capital stock, subject to certain adjustments. The purchase price will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date. We are in the process of performing the procedures necessary to determine the purchase price allocation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those described in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in the section titled “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and also those factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Overview of our Business

Our portfolio of affiliates, subsidiaries and brands includes Zillow Premier Agent, Zillow Home Loans, our affiliate lender, Zillow Rentals, Trulia, StreetEasy, HotPads and Out East. In addition, Zillow Group provides a comprehensive suite of marketing software and technology solutions for the real estate industry, including Mortech, New Home Feed and ShowingTime+, which includes ShowingTime, Bridge Interactive and dotloop.

As of June 30, 2023, we had 5,991 employees compared to 5,724 employees as of December 31, 2022.

Health of Housing Market

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, fewer new for-sale listings, increases and volatility in mortgage interest rates, as well as home price fluctuations and inflationary conditions. These factors may have a negative impact on the number of transactions consumers complete using our products and services and on demand for our advertising services. According to industry data from the National Association of REALTORS®, total residential real estate transaction dollars declined more than 20% during both the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Despite the industry headwinds and total residential real estate transaction value declines, we continue to invest in the execution of our strategy to increase customer transactions and revenue per transaction. We believe this continued investment in our strategic priorities has resulted in year over year Residential revenue results, described below, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, that exceeded residential real estate 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.

Change in Reportable Segments

Beginning in 2023, our chief operating decision maker manages our business, makes operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance on the basis of the company as a whole, instead of on a segment basis as he did prior to 2023. Accordingly, this change resulted in revisions to the nature and substance of information regularly provided to and used by the chief operating decision maker. This serves to align our reported results with our ongoing growth strategy and our intent to provide integrated customer solutions for all tasks and services related to facilitating real estate transactions. As a result, we have determined that we have a single operating and reportable segment.

Revenue Overview

Our revenue is classified into four categories: Residential, Rentals, Mortgages and Other. Certain prior period amounts have been revised to reflect these changes.

Premier Agent revenue is generated by the sale of advertising services, as well as marketing and technology products and services, to help real estate agents and brokers grow and manage their businesses. We offer these products and services through our Premier Agent program. Premier Agent products, which include the delivery of validated customer connections, or leads,

Table of Contents

are primarily offered on a share of voice basis. Connections are distributed to Premier Agent partners in proportion to their share of voice, or an agent advertiser’s share of total advertising purchased in a particular zip code. Connections are delivered when customer contact information is provided to Premier Agent partners. Connections are provided as part of our suite of advertising services for Premier Agent partners; we do not charge a separate fee for these customer leads.

We also offer a pay for performance pricing model called “Flex” for Premier Agent advertising services in certain markets to select partners. With the Flex model, Premier Agent partners are provided with validated leads at no initial cost and pay a performance advertising fee only when a real estate transaction is closed with one of the leads, generally within two years.

New construction revenue primarily includes advertising services sold to home builders on a cost per residential community or cost per impression basis. StreetEasy for-sale revenue includes advertising services sold to real estate professionals serving the New York City for sale market primarily on a cost per listing or performance fee basis. ShowingTime revenue is primarily generated by Appointment Center, a software-as-a-service and call center solution allowing real estate agents, brokerages and multiple listing services to efficiently schedule real estate viewing appointments on behalf of their customers. Appointment Center services also include call center specialists who provide scheduling support to customers. Appointment Center revenue is primarily billed in advance on a monthly basis. Our dotloop real estate transaction management software-as-a-service solution is a monthly subscription service allowing real estate partners to efficiently manage their transactions.

Rentals. Rentals revenue includes advertising and a suite of tools sold to property managers, landlords and other rental professionals on a cost per lead, lease, listing or impression basis or for a fixed fee for certain advertising packages through both the Zillow and StreetEasy brands. Rentals revenue also includes revenue generated from our rental applications product, through which potential renters can submit applications to multiple properties for a flat service fee.

Mortgages. Mortgages revenue includes revenue generated through mortgage originations and the related sale of mortgages on the secondary market through Zillow Home Loans and from advertising sold to mortgage lenders and other mortgage professionals on a cost per lead basis, including our Custom Quote and Connect services.

Other. Other revenue includes revenue generated primarily by display advertising. Display revenue consists of graphical mobile and web advertising sold on a cost per thousand impressions or cost per click basis to advertisers promoting their brands on our mobile applications and websites.

For additional information regarding our revenue recognition policies, see Note 2 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Discontinued Operations

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Board made the determination to wind down the operations of Zillow Offers, our iBuying business which purchased and sold homes directly in certain markets across the United States. The wind down was completed in the third quarter of 2022 and resulted in approximately a 25% reduction of Zillow Group’s workforce. The financial results of Zillow Offers have been presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and, therefore, are excluded from the following discussion of the results of our continuing operations. Given the wind down of Zillow Offers and corresponding shift in our strategic plans, financial performance for prior and current periods may not be indicative of future performance. For additional information, see Note 3 in our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

August 2022 Equity Award Actions

On August 3, 2022, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Board approved adjustments to the exercise price of certain outstanding vested and unvested option awards for eligible employees. The exercise price of eligible option awards was reduced to $38.78, which was the closing market price of our Class C capital stock on August 8, 2022. No other changes were made to the terms and conditions of the eligible option awards. In addition, the Board approved a supplemental grant of restricted stock units to eligible employees that was granted on August 8, 2022 and vests quarterly over a two-year period beginning in August 2022. The repricing of eligible option awards and the issuance of supplemental restricted stock units (collectively the “August 2022 Equity Award Actions”) has and is expected to continue to result in incremental share-based compensation expense over the remaining requisite service period, which is largely through the third quarter of 2024. For additional information regarding the August 2022 Equity Award Actions, see Note 16 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Financial Overview

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated total revenue of $506 million and $504 million, respectively, an increase of $2 million. The change in total revenue was primarily attributable to the following:

•Rentals revenue increased by $20 million to $91 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $71 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Rentals revenue was primarily due to growth in average monthly rentals unique visitors which increased 15% to 31 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 27 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Rentals revenue was also driven by a 12% increase in quarterly revenue per average monthly rentals unique visitor to $2.94 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $2.63 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by lower occupancy rates and the corresponding increase in advertising spend from multifamily property managers.

•Residential revenue decreased by $12 million to $380 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $392 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by macro housing market factors including low housing inventory, fewer new for-sale listings, increases and volatility in mortgage interest rates, as well as home price fluctuations. The decrease in Residential revenue was driven by an 8% decrease in the number of visits for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to these macro housing market factors. The impact of the decrease in visits was partially offset by a 6% increase in Residential revenue per visit, driven by continued improvement in our ability to connect high-intent customers.

•Mortgages revenue decreased by $5 million to $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $29 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in revenue from Custom Quote and Connect advertising services driven by a decrease in demand for mortgages attributable to the higher interest rate environment as compared to the prior year period. This resulted in a 23% decrease in leads generated from marketing products sold to mortgage professionals.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated gross profit of $402 million and $407 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year decrease of 1%.

Key Metrics

Management has identified visits, unique users and the volume of loans originated through Zillow Home Loans as relevant to investors’ and others’ assessment of our financial condition and results of operations.

Visits

The number of visits is an important metric because it is an indicator of consumers’ level of engagement with our mobile applications, websites and other services. We believe highly engaged consumers are more likely to use our products and services, including Zillow Homes Loans, or be transaction-ready real estate market participants and therefore are more sought-after by our Premier Agent partners.

We define a visit as a group of interactions by users with the Zillow, Trulia and StreetEasy mobile applications and websites. A single visit can contain multiple page views and actions, and a single user can open multiple visits across domains, web browsers, desktop or mobile devices. Visits can occur on the same day, or over several days, weeks or months.

Zillow and StreetEasy measure visits with Google Analytics, and Trulia measures visits with Adobe Analytics. Visits to Trulia end after thirty minutes of user inactivity. Visits to Zillow and StreetEasy end either: (i) after thirty minutes of user inactivity or at midnight; or (ii) through a campaign change. A visit ends through a campaign change if a visitor arrives via one campaign or source (for example, via a search engine or referring link on a third-party website), leaves the mobile application or website, and then returns via another campaign or source.

The following table presents the number of visits to our mobile applications and websites for the periods presented (in millions, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended June 30,		2022 to 2023 % Change		Six Months Ended June 30,		2022 to 2023 % Change
	2023	2022			2023	2022
Visits	2,653	2,897	(8)	%	5,140	5,524	(7)	%

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, visits to our mobile applications and websites decreased by 8% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, visits to our mobile applications and websites decreased by 7% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. These decreases were primarily driven by macro housing market factors including low housing inventory, fewer new for-sale listings, increases and volatility in mortgage interest rates as well as home price fluctuations.

Unique Users

Measuring unique users is important to us because much of our revenue depends in part on our ability to connect home buyers and sellers, renters and individuals with or looking for a mortgage to real estate, rental and mortgage professionals, products and services. Growth in consumer traffic to our mobile applications and websites increases the number of impressions, clicks, connections, leads and other events we can monetize to generate revenue. For example, our revenue depends in part, on users accessing our mobile applications and websites to engage in the sale, purchase and financing of homes, including with Zillow Home Loans, and a significant portion of our Residential revenue, Rentals revenue and Other revenue depend on advertisements being served to users of our mobile applications and websites.

We count a unique user the first time an individual accesses one of our mobile applications using a mobile device during a calendar month and the first time an individual accesses one of our websites using a web browser during a calendar month. If an individual accesses our mobile applications using different mobile devices within a given month, the first instance of access by each such mobile device is counted as a separate unique user. If an individual accesses more than one of our mobile applications within a given month, the first access to each mobile application is counted as a separate unique user. If an individual accesses our websites using different web browsers within a given month, the first access by each such web browser is counted as a separate unique user. If an individual accesses more than one of our websites in a single month, the first access to each website is counted as a separate unique user since unique users are tracked separately for each domain. Zillow, StreetEasy and HotPads measure unique users with Google Analytics, and Trulia measures unique users with Adobe Analytics.

Due to third-party technological limitations, user software settings or user behavior, Google Analytics may assign a unique cookie to different instances of access by the same individual to our mobile applications and websites. In such instances, Google Analytics would count different instances of access by the same individual as separate unique users. Accordingly, reliance on the number of unique users counted by Google Analytics may overstate the actual number of unique users who access our mobile applications and websites during the period.

The following table presents our average monthly unique users for the periods presented (in millions, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended June 30,		2022 to 2023 % Change		Six Months Ended June 30,		2022 to 2023 % Change
	2023	2022			2023	2022
Average monthly unique users	226	234	(3)	%	219	222	(1)	%

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, average monthly unique users decreased by 3% and 1%, respectively, compared to each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. These decreases were primarily driven by macro housing market factors including low housing inventory, fewer new for-sale listings, increases and volatility in mortgage interest rates as well as home price fluctuations.

Table of Contents

Loan Origination Volume

Loan origination volume is an important metric as it is a measure of how successful we are at the origination and subsequent sale of mortgage loan products through our mortgage origination business, Zillow Home Loans, which directly impacts our Mortgages revenue. Loan origination volume represents the total value of mortgage loan originations closed through Zillow Home Loans during the period.

The following table presents loan origination volume by purpose and in total for Zillow Home Loans for the periods presented (in millions, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				2022 to 2023 % Change		Six Months Ended June 30,				2022 to 2023 % Change
	2023		2022				2023		2022
Purchase loan origination volume	$	336	$	194	73	%	$	595	$	317	88	%
Refinance loan origination volume	4		136		(97)	%	7		714		(99)	%
Total loan origination volume	$	340	$	330	3	%	$	602	$	1,031	(42)	%

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, total loan origination volume increased 3% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the continued growth in Zillow Home Loans purchase loan originations, partially offset by interest rate increases which negatively impacted refinance loan originations. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, total loan origination volume decreased 42% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by interest rate increases which negatively impacted refinance loan originations, partially offset by the increase in purchase loan originations as we continue to prioritize growth in Zillow Home Loans purchase originations.

Results of Operations

Given continued uncertainty surrounding the health of the housing market, interest rate environment and inflationary conditions, financial performance for current and prior periods may not be indicative of future performance.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022

Total revenue increased $2 million to $506 million:

•Rentals revenue increased $20 million, or 28%, year over year. The increase in Rentals revenue was primarily due to growth in average monthly rentals unique visitors which increased 15% to 31 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 27 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Average monthly rentals unique visitors are measured with Comscore data, which includes average monthly unique visitors on rental listings on Zillow, Trulia and HotPads mobile apps and websites. The increase in Rentals revenue was also driven by a 12% increase in quarterly revenue per average monthly rentals unique visitor to $2.94 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $2.63 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by lower occupancy rates and the corresponding increase in advertising spend from multifamily property managers. We calculate quarterly revenue per average monthly rentals unique visitor by dividing total Rentals revenue for the period by the average monthly rentals unique visitors for the period and then dividing by the number of quarters in the period.

•Residential revenue decreased $12 million, or 3%, year over year, primarily driven by macro housing market factors including low housing inventory, fewer new for-sale listings, increases and volatility in mortgage interest rates as well as home price fluctuations. These factors resulted in a 4% decrease in Premier Agent revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in Residential revenue was driven by an 8% decrease in the number of visits for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to the macro housing market factors described above. The impact of this decrease was partially offset by a 6% increase in Residential revenue per visit to $0.143 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $0.135 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 driven by continued improvement in our ability to connect high-intent customers. 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 September 30, 2023, primarily due to continued pressure from the macro housing market factors described above.

•Mortgages revenue decreased $5 million, or 17%, year over year due to a decline in our Custom Quote and Connect advertising services revenue. The decrease in our Custom Quote and Connect advertising revenue was primarily due to a 23% decrease in leads generated from marketing products sold to mortgage professionals. This decrease in leads was driven by a decrease in demand for mortgages attributable to the higher interest rate environment as compared to the prior year period.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022

Total revenue decreased $65 million, or 6%, to $975 million:

•Residential revenue decreased $69 million, or 9%, year over year, primarily driven by macro housing market factors including low housing inventory, fewer new for-sale listings, increases and volatility in mortgage interest rates as well as home price fluctuations. These factors resulted in an 11% decrease in Premier Agent revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. These factors also resulted in a 2% decrease in Residential revenue per visit to $0.144 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $0.147 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

•Mortgages revenue decreased $25 million, or 33%, year over year. This decrease was due to a decline in our Custom Quote and Connect advertising services revenue, which drove 62% of the decrease, and a decrease in mortgage originations revenue, which drove 33% of the decrease. The decrease in our Custom Quote and Connect advertising revenue was primarily due to a 32% decrease in leads generated from marketing products sold to mortgage professionals. This decrease in leads was driven by a decrease in demand for mortgages attributable to the higher interest rate environment as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in mortgage originations revenue was due to a 42% decrease in total loan origination volume from $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $602 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily resulting from a decrease in demand for refinance mortgages attributable to the higher interest rate environment as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in mortgage originations revenue was partially offset by a 13% increase 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. Net gain on sale of mortgage loans includes all components related to the origination and sale of mortgage loans, including the net gain on sale of loans into the secondary market, loan origination fees, unrealized gains and losses associated with changes in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale, realized and unrealized gains or losses from derivative financial instruments and the provision for losses relating to representations and warranties.

•Rentals revenue increased $33 million, or 25%, year over year. The increase in Rentals revenue was primarily due to growth in average monthly rentals unique visitors which increased 15% to 30 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 26 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Rentals revenue was also driven by an 8% increase in quarterly revenue per average monthly rentals unique visitor to $2.75 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $2.54 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by lower occupancy rates and the corresponding increase in advertising spend from multifamily property managers.

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) financial measure.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as it is a key metric used by our management and Board to measure operating performance and trends and to prepare and approve our annual budget. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Table of Contents

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the results of discontinued operations;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment and restructuring costs;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related costs;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or other income;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income taxes; and

•Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently from the way we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash-flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is net income (loss) for each of the periods presented (in millions, unaudited):

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of expenses related to operating our mobile applications and websites, including associated headcount-related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense, as well as revenue-sharing costs related to our commercial business relationships, depreciation expense, and costs associated with hosting our mobile applications and websites. Cost of revenue also includes amortization costs related to capitalized website and development activities, amortization of software, amortization of certain intangible assets and other costs to obtain data used to populate our mobile applications and websites, and amortization of certain intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, including developed technology. Cost of revenue also includes credit card fees and ad serving costs paid to third parties, and direct costs to originate mortgage loans, including underwriting and processing costs.

Table of Contents

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022

Cost of revenue increased $7 million, or 7%, year over year, primarily driven by increases of $4 million in depreciation and amortization expense due to an increase in capitalized website and development activities, $2 million in ad serving costs and $2 million in software and hardware costs. The increases were partially offset by a $2 million decrease in lead acquisition costs.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022

Cost of revenue increased $7 million, or 4%, year over year, primarily driven by increases of $7 million in depreciation and amortization expense due to an increase in capitalized website and development activities, $3 million in ad serving costs and $3 million in software and hardware costs. The increases were partially offset by a $7 million decrease in lead acquisition costs due to a decrease in loan origination volumes.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross profit has and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including the mix of revenue from our various product offerings.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022

Gross profit decreased by $5 million, or 1%, due to increases in cost of revenue, primarily associated with additional depreciation and amortization expenses, which outpaced the growth of revenue. Total gross margin decreased from 81% to 79%.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022

Gross profit decreased by $72 million, or 8%, primarily due to a decrease in revenue, discussed above. Total gross margin decreased from 82% to 80%.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist of advertising costs and other sales expenses related to promotional and marketing activities, headcount-related expenses, including salaries, commissions, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense for sales, sales support, customer support, including the customer connections team and mortgage loan officers and specialists, marketing and public relations employees, depreciation expense and amortization of certain intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, including trade names and trademarks and customer relationships.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022

Sales and marketing expenses increased $10 million, or 6%, due to increases of $4 million in marketing and advertising costs and $4 million in headcount-related expenses, including share-based compensation expense, as we continue to invest and support the growth of our business, as well as a $2 million increase in travel expenses. The increases were partially offset by a $2 million decrease in third-party professional service fees.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $8 million, or 2%, due to decreases of $8 million in marketing and advertising costs due to active cost management, $3 million in third-party professional service fees and $3 million in depreciation and amortization expense. The decreases were partially offset by a $5 million increase in travel expenses and a $2 million increase in software and hardware costs.

Technology and Development

Technology and development expenses consist of headcount-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense for individuals engaged in the design, development and testing of our products, mobile applications and websites and the tools and applications that support our products. Technology and development expenses also include equipment and maintenance costs and depreciation expense.

Table of Contents

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022

Technology and development expenses increased $21 million, or 18%, primarily due to an increase of $17 million in headcount-related expenses, including share-based compensation expense, primarily driven by the August 2022 Equity Award Actions.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022

Technology and development expenses increased $50 million, or 22%, primarily due to an increase of $41 million in headcount-related expenses, including share-based compensation expense, primarily driven by the August 2022 Equity Award Actions, $4 million in third-party professional service fees and $3 million in travel expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of headcount-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense for executive, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, recruiting, corporate information technology costs and other administrative support. General and administrative expenses also include legal settlement costs and estimated legal liabilities, legal, accounting and other third-party professional service fees, rent expense, depreciation expense and bad debt expense.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022

General and administrative expenses increased $33 million, or 28%, primarily due to an increase of $30 million in headcount-related expenses, including share-based compensation expense. The increase in headcount-related expenses was primarily driven by a $17 million increase in share-based compensation expense associated with the departures of certain personnel, as well as the impact of the August 2022 Equity Award Actions. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease in absolute dollars for the three months ending September 30, 2023 as a result of the impact of costs associated with the departure of certain personnel recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2023, as discussed above.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022

General and administrative expenses increased $44 million, or 19%, primarily due to an increase of $44 million in headcount-related expenses, including share-based compensation expense. The increase in headcount-related expenses was impacted by a $17 million increase in share-based compensation expense associated with the departures of certain personnel, as well as the impact of the August 2022 Equity Award Actions.

Impairment and Restructuring Costs

Impairment and restructuring costs were $2 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily pertained to employee termination costs that did not relate to the Zillow Offers wind down. Costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 also include impairment costs of $6 million related to reductions in our right of use assets associated with changes in the use of certain office space in our lease portfolio.

There were no impairment and restructuring costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Such costs totaled $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These costs do not qualify as discontinued operations and were primarily attributable to employee termination costs associated with the wind down of Zillow Offers operations. For additional information regarding these costs, see Note 3 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Income

Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and investments and fair value adjustments on an outstanding warrant.

Other income increased $37 million and $67 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in other income was primarily driven by increases in returns on investments due to the higher interest rate environment as compared to the prior year period.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

We are primarily subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state), as well as certain foreign jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have provided a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets that we believe, based on the weight of available evidence, are not more likely than not to be realized. There is a reasonable possibility that within the next several years, sufficient positive evidence will become available to demonstrate that a significant portion of the valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets will no longer be required. We have accumulated federal tax losses of approximately $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2022, which are available to reduce future taxable income. We have accumulated state tax losses of approximately $63 million (tax effected) as of December 31, 2022.

We recorded income tax expense of $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to state income taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit of $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and an income tax benefit of $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from operations, debt financing and equity offerings. Our cash requirements consist principally of working capital, general corporate needs and mortgage loan originations. We generally reinvest available cash flows from operations into our business and to service our debt obligations.

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents, investments and restricted cash of $3.3 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents balances consist of operating cash on deposit with financial institutions and money market funds. Investments consist of fixed income securities, which include U.S. government treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, investment grade corporate securities, and commercial paper. Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held in escrow related to funding customer home purchases in our mortgage origination business. Amounts on deposit with third-party financial institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation insurance limits, as applicable. As of June 30, 2023, Zillow Group and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all debt covenants specified in the facilities described below.

From time to time, our liquidity is affected by our use of cash and capital resources to finance acquisitions. On July 31, 2023, we acquired Aryeo, Inc., a software company which serves real estate photographers, for approximately $35 million in a combination of cash and our Class C capital stock, subject to certain adjustments.

We believe that cash from operations and cash and cash equivalents and investment balances will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and investments and other capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operations, debt financing and equity offerings, as applicable.

Summarized Cash Flow Information

The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been separated. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and the following discussions include the results of continuing and discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022. There were no cash flows related to discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 3 in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on discontinued operations, including supplemental cash flow information. The following table presents selected cash flow data for the periods presented (in millions, unaudited):

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities

Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from real estate professionals, rental professionals, mortgage professionals, builders and brand advertisers, as well as cash received from sales of mortgages originated by Zillow Home Loans and, prior to September 30, 2022, from customers for sales of homes through Zillow Offers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities include marketing and advertising activities, mortgages funded through Zillow Home Loans and employee compensation and benefits. Additionally, uses of cash from operating activities include costs associated with operating our mobile applications and websites and other general corporate expenditures. Prior to the wind down of Zillow Offers operations, our primary uses of cash from operating activities also included payments for homes purchased through Zillow Offers.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $193 million. This was driven by a net loss of $57 million, adjusted by share-based compensation of $233 million, depreciation and amortization of $85 million, amortization of right of use assets of $12 million, accretion of bond discount of $20 million, amortization of contract cost assets of $11 million, and amortization of debt issuance costs of $3 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased cash provided by operating activities by $75 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities are primarily related to a $32 million increase in mortgage loans held for sale due to an increase in purchase loan origination volume, a $30 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $19 million increase in accounts receivable both primarily due to an increase in revenue from products and services billed in arrears, a $15 million decrease in lease liabilities due to contractual lease payments, an $11 million increase in contract cost assets and a $2 million decrease in other long term liabilities. These changes were partially offset by a $27 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities primarily driven by the timing of billings, a $5 million increase in deferred revenue and a $2 million increase in accrued compensation and benefits.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $4.3 billion. This was driven by net income of $24 million, adjusted by share-based compensation of $193 million, depreciation and amortization of $87 million, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $24 million, a loss on extinguishment of debt of $21 million, amortization of contract cost assets of $16 million, amortization of right of use assets of $11 million, accretion of bond discount of $11 million, and $11 million in other adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operation activities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities increased cash provided by operating activities by $3.9 billion. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily related to a $3.9 billion decrease in inventory, an $81 million decrease in accounts receivable, primarily associated with the wind down of Zillow Offers operations, a $46 million decrease in mortgage loans held for sale, and a $4 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily related to the repayment of the term loans associated with our Zillow Offers securitization transactions. These changes were partially offset by a $69 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities driven primarily by the wind down of Zillow Offers operations, a $47 million decrease in accrued compensation and benefits, an $8 million increase in contract cost assets, and an $8 million decrease in lease liabilities.

Cash Flows Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities

Our primary investing activities include the purchase and sale or maturity of investments and the purchase of property and equipment and intangible assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $84 million. This was the result of $168 million of net proceeds from the maturity of investments and $84 million of purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $934 million. This was the result of $863 million of net purchases of investments and $71 million of purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets.

Cash Flows Used In Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities has primarily resulted from repurchases of Class A common stock and Class C capital stock, the exercise of employee option awards, repayments of borrowings on the warehouse lines of credit and master repurchase agreements related to Zillow Home Loans, and, prior to September 30, 2022, settlement of long term debt including our Zillow Offers securitization term loans, proceeds from our Zillow Offers securitization transaction, and proceeds from and repayments of borrowings on our credit facilities related to Zillow Offers.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $177 million, which primarily related to $236 million of cash paid for share repurchases, partially offset by $30 million of proceeds from the exercise of option awards and $29 million of net borrowings on our warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements related to Zillow Home Loans.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in financing activities was $4.0 billion, which was primarily related to $2.2 billion of repayments on borrowings of our credit facilities related to Zillow Offers, $1.2 billion for the partial repayment of the term loans associated with the Zillow Offers securitization transactions, $597 million of cash paid for share repurchases and $58 million of net repayments on our warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements related to Zillow Home Loans. The cash outflows were partially offset by $42 million of proceeds from the exercise of option awards.

Capital Resources

We continue to invest in the development and expansion of our operations. Ongoing investments include, but are not limited to, improvements in our technology platforms, infrastructure and continued investments in sales and marketing. To finance these investments and ongoing operations, and in the event that we require additional funding to support strategic business opportunities, we have issued convertible senior notes. As of June 30, 2023, we have $1.7 billion aggregate principal of convertible senior notes outstanding. The convertible notes are senior unsecured obligations, and interest on the convertible notes is paid semi-annually. The following table summarizes our convertible senior notes as of the periods presented (in millions, except interest rates):


					June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Maturity Date	Aggregate Principal Amount		Stated Interest Rate		Carrying Value		Carrying Value
September 1, 2026	$	499	1.375	%	$	496	$	495
May 15, 2025	565		2.75	%	561		560
September 1, 2024	608		0.75	%	606		605
Total	$	1,672			$	1,663	$	1,660

We may from time to time seek to redeem, retire or purchase outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for cash, shares of stock or a combination of cash and stock, pursuant to the redemption terms of such debt securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. In particular, the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes may be redeemed if the last reported sale price of our Class C capital stock exceeds $56.56 per share for a specified period of trading days. To the extent our Class C capital stock price rises above those levels, we may redeem the 2024 Notes and/or 2026 Notes, in which case, we would expect to settle any conversions in cash up to the principal amount and shares of Class C capital stock for any conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount. Such redemptions, repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Refer to Note 8 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our convertible senior notes, including conversion rates, conversion and redemption dates and the related capped call transactions.

Prior to July 31, 2023, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $1.8 billion of our Class A common stock, Class C capital stock, outstanding convertible senior notes or a combination thereof. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of Class A common stock and 4.5 million shares of Class C capital stock at an average price of $44.12 and $44.76 per share, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $36 million and $200 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, $264 million remained available for future repurchases pursuant to this authorization, which repurchases decrease our liquidity and capital resources when effected. For additional information on this authorization, see Notes 13 and 15 to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. On July 31, 2023, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $750 million of Class A common stock, Class C capital stock, convertible senior notes or a combination thereof, which increases the amount available for future repurchases to $1.0 billion under our total authorizations of $2.5 billion.

As of June 30, 2023, we have an outstanding aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes of $1.7 billion, none of which is payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the convertible senior notes total $61 million, with $27 million payable within 12 months. Refer to Note 8 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for maturity dates, stated interest rates and additional information on our convertible senior notes.

Credit Facilities - Includes principal amounts due for amounts borrowed under the warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements to finance mortgages originated through Zillow Home Loans. As of June 30, 2023, we have outstanding principal amounts of $66 million. Amounts exclude an immaterial amount of estimated interest payments.

Operating Lease Obligations - Our lease portfolio primarily comprises operating leases for our office space. For additional information regarding our operating leases, see Note 12 to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $12 million, which secure our lease obligations in connection with certain of the operating leases of our office spaces.

Purchase Obligations - We have non-cancellable purchase obligations for content related to our mobile applications and websites and certain cloud computing costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no material changes to the purchase commitments disclosed in Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and the health of the real estate market and the broader economy have introduced significant additional uncertainty with respect to estimates, judgments and assumptions, which may materially impact our estimates. For information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Part II Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily consist of fluctuations in interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Under our current investment policy, we invest our excess cash in money market funds, U.S. government treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, investment grade corporate securities 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 without putting our principal at risk.

Our short-term investments are exposed to market risk due to the fluctuation of prevailing interest rates that may reduce the yield on our investments or their fair value. For our investment portfolio, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio.

As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $1.7 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes outstanding with maturities ranging from September 2024 through September 2026. All outstanding convertible senior notes bear fixed rates of interest and, therefore, do not expose us to financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. The fair values of the convertible senior notes change primarily when the market price of our stock fluctuates or interest rates change.

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 warehouse line of credit and 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 warehouse line of credit and 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 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $66 million and $37 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings on our warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements which bear interest either at a floating rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin, as defined by the governing agreements, or Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index Rate (“BSBY”) 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 mortgage-backed securities. Assuming no change in the outstanding borrowings on the warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements, we estimate that a one percentage point increase in SOFR or BSBY, as applicable, would not have a material effect on our annual interest expense associated with the warehouse line of credit and master repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Inflation Risk

The macroeconomic environment in the United States has experienced, and continues to experience inflationary pressures. 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 quarters. In response to ongoing inflationary pressures in the United States, the Federal Reserve has implemented a number of increases to the federal funds rate in recent quarters. These increases have impacted other market rates derived from this benchmark rate, including mortgage interest rates. The increase in mortgage interest rates across the industry has decreased demand for mortgages overall and, in turn, had an adverse impact on our Mortgages revenue.

If inflationary pressures persist, our costs, in particular labor, marketing and hosting costs, may increase and we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. In addition, uncertain or changing economic and market conditions, including inflation or deflation, may continue to affect demand for our products and services and the housing markets in which we operate. Our inability or failure to quickly respond to inflation could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot predict the duration or magnitude of these inflationary pressures, or how they may change over time, but we expect to see continued impacts on the residential real estate industry, our customers and our company. Despite these near-term effects, we do not expect these inflationary pressures to have a material impact on our ability to execute our long-term business strategy.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We do not believe that foreign currency exchange risk has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. As we do not maintain a significant balance of foreign currency, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar would have a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
