August 2026 Restructuring Costs
Note 14. Restructuring Costs
On August 4, 2026, Zillow Group announced a plan to reduce its headcount by approximately 7% of its employees. This headcount reduction is designed to allow the Company to move faster and operate more efficiently, including with a more sustainable cost structure. As a result, the Company currently estimates that it will incur pre-tax restructuring costs totaling approximately $59 million to $64 million related to employee termination costs, of which an estimated $36 million to $38 million are expected to be future cash expenditures associated with severance payments, and the remaining amount is expected to be accelerated share-based compensation expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, Zillow Group recorded $36 million in restructuring costs related to these employee termination costs and expects that the remainder of the restructuring costs will be recognized during the three months ending September 30, 2026. These employee termination costs have been recorded as restructuring costs within our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2026, we have accrued $23 million for estimated future cash expenditures associated with severance payments, and no associated cash payments were made during the three months ended June 30, 2026. All estimated amounts are subject to change until finalized.
