                       Comparable Basis EBITDA Rises 10%

            First Quarter Reported EPS from Continuing Operations,
          Including Unusual Items, is $0.17 in 2000 vs. $0.20 in 1999

         First Quarter Reported EPS is $0.09 in 2000 vs. $0.43 in 1999



NEW YORK, NY, APRIL 18, 2000 -- Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD) today reported
record first quarter 2000 results. Cendant Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Henry R. Silverman stated, "In the first quarter of 2000 we
continued to deliver consistent organic growth and we remain comfortable with
the current Wall Street estimates for the year. Additionally, I am pleased to
report that our convergence strategy to apply our off-line assets to the online
world is moving forward. For example, in January we launched move.com, our real
estate services portal and in March, our stockholders approved the creation of
a new class of common stock to track the performance of Move.com Group."


First quarter results and other recent activities include:


 o    Adjusted earnings per share, excluding Move.com Group, were up 24% to
      $0.26 versus $0.21. (Adjusted basis is defined on page 2.)


 o    Comparable basis EBITDA increased 10% to $439 million. Comparable basis
      revenues increased 6%. Comparable basis excludes the impact of unusual
      items, disposed businesses and Move.com Group.


 o    As of March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $1.5 billion of debt,
      net of cash. The net debt to total capital ratio was 27% and annualized
      return on equity was 30% (measured on adjusted net income).


 o    During the quarter the Company purchased approximately 10 million shares
      of its common stock under a program initiated in October 1998. Since the
      inception of the program, in the aggregate, the Company has reduced
      shares outstanding by 20%. The Company has $600 million remaining under
      the currently authorized $1 billion share repurchase program.


 o    The Company recorded restructuring and other unusual charges totaling $70
      million after tax in the first quarter, of which 41% is non-cash, aimed
      at increasing efficiencies and productivity and reducing cost structures
      in the underlying businesses. The charge includes the cost of eliminating
      approximately 950 positions and is expected to increase pre-tax income by
      about $25 to $30 million annually, commencing in 2001.

FIRST QUARTER DIVISION RESULTS

The underlying discussion of each division's operating results focuses on
Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings before non-operating interest,
income taxes, depreciation, amortization and minority interest. Adjusted
results exclude restructuring charges, gains and losses on disposition of
businesses and other items which are of a non-recurring or unusual nature and
are not measured in assessing segment performance or are not segment specific.
(See Table 4 for Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by Segment and Table 5 for
Segment Revenue Driver Analysis.)

* Not meaningful.


TRAVEL DIVISION

Travel revenues remained flat while Adjusted EBITDA decreased 13% in first
quarter 2000 compared to first quarter 1999. Franchise fees rose as a result of
room growth in Lodging. Timeshare subscription and exchange revenues also
increased, primarily as a result of increased memberships, partially offset by
a reduction in subscription revenues resulting from the adoption of SAB 101
(see page 5). Additionally, first quarter 1999 included a gain from the sale of
a portion of the Company's equity investment in Avis Group Holdings, Inc. of $7
million. Contributing to the Adjusted EBITDA reduction in first quarter 2000
was an additional $4 million of corporate overhead allocations and $3 million
related to the timing of cost allocations to the franchisee funds as a result
of the refinement of allocation methods. Another contributing factor was the
recognition of $3 million of additional obligations relating to a prior
acquisition. Excluding the previously mentioned non-recurring items, revenues
increased 3% and Adjusted EBITDA was flat in first quarter 2000 over first
quarter 1999.

REAL ESTATE DIVISION

A 17% increase in royalty fees in real estate franchise was the primary driver
for a 25% increase in revenues and an 18% increase in Adjusted EBITDA. The
increase in royalty fees is primarily a result of unit growth and an 11%
increase in the average price of homes sold by franchisees. Beginning in second
quarter 1999, the national advertising funds for Coldwell Banker and ERA were
consolidated into the segment's financial results. Contributions by franchisees
to the Marketing and Advertising Fund increased revenues by $7 million and
increased expenses by a like amount with no corresponding impact on Adjusted
EBITDA. Including advertising fund contributions and offsetting expenses in
both periods, the Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 69% in the first quarter
of 2000 versus 68% in the prior year period.

Relocation revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were unchanged.
Increased ancillary services, referral fees and international services were
offset by reduced corporate and government home sale revenue reflecting a
continuing trend from asset-based to service-based fees.

Mortgage revenues decreased 17% due to a reduction in origination revenues.
While origination volume for home purchases was essentially unchanged,
refinancing origination volume declined $2.8 billion, or


                                       2
<PAGE>

89%, compared with record level volumes in the prior year period associated
with unprecedented refinancing activity at that time. Servicing fee revenues
rose 8% year over year as the average portfolio grew $7 billion, or 14%, to $52
billion. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 73%. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased from
47% in 1999 to 16% in 2000, as the decline in revenues amplified the impact of
fixed expenses and technology, infrastructure and teleservices costs incurred
to support future growth. Mortgage closings from our Log In -- Move In Internet
business amounted to $160 million in first quarter of 2000 up from $28 million
in 1999. While as anticipated Adjusted EBITDA in the mortgage segment for the
first quarter was below the prior year period, the Company continues to expect
that market conditions will improve in the back half of the year and produce
more positive comparisons as the year progresses. The Company currently expects
full year 2000 Adjusted EBITDA in its mortgage segment to be slightly lower
than 1999.

Move.com Group recorded revenues of $11 million as compared with $3 million in
the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $26 million to a loss of $26
million in 2000. These results reflect increased investment in marketing and
development of the new real estate services Internet portal, which was launched
in January. The Company expects Move.com Group will continue to report losses
in the foreseeable future resulting from continuing investment in the growth of
the business.

DIRECT MARKETING DIVISION

Individual Membership revenues decreased 15%. On a comparable basis, excluding
divested businesses, revenues increased 7%. This is due to an increase in the
average price of a membership and the favorable mix of products and marketing
partners. Adjusted EBITDA increased from $12 million to $52 million due to
reduced solicitation spending as the Company further refined the targeted
audiences for its direct marketing efforts and achieved greater efficiencies in
reaching potential new members, as well as the absence of losses generated by
disposed businesses.

Insurance/Wholesale revenues rose 4% primarily as a result of international
expansion. Adjusted EBITDA increased 26% due to improved profitability in
international markets and a marketing expense decrease. The Adjusted EBITDA
margin increased to 33% in 2000 from 27% in 1999.

DIVERSIFIED SERVICES DIVISION

Revenues decreased 26% primarily as a result of the 1999 dispositions of
certain businesses, including Global Refund Group, Entertainment Publications,
Inc., and Green Flag Group. Adjusted EBITDA increased 51%. Excluding the impact
of disposed businesses on first quarter 1999 operating results, revenues and
Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% and 43%, respectively, in first quarter 2000.
These increases resulted from a 33% increase in tax return volume and a 9%
increase in the average fee per return received by Jackson Hewitt franchisees,
$10 million of incremental income recognized from financial investments and a
32% increase in the operating results of the Company's National Car Parks
subsidiary.


CENDANT INTERNET GROUP

During the first quarter the Company formed Cendant Internet Group ("CIG"). CIG
was actively involved in supporting move.com including raising $85 million from
investors led by Liberty Digital. Additionally, CIG has led a company-wide
e-strategy effort. As part of this endeavor, each unit of Cendant was reviewed
so that its Internet business strategies and opportunities could be
inventoried. Certain of these new business ideas are going through detailed
business planning and a strategy for how these initiatives will be implemented
as well as how the other Web business opportunities across the Company are
pursued in the near and intermediate term is being developed. CIG will identify
business and content partners for each initiative, as well as vendors. Lastly,
CIG pursued a strategic investment initiative, which has resulted in
investments in several Internet companies with which Cendant is developing or
implementing business relationships.


LIBERTY MEDIA

During the quarter, the previously announced transactions with Liberty Media
Corporation and its chairman, Dr. John C. Malone, closed, and Dr. Malone joined
the Company's Board of Directors.


                                       3
<PAGE>

Additionally, Liberty Digital, Inc. purchased approximately 1.6 million shares,
or 6%, of move.com in a private placement. Liberty Digital and Cendant agreed
to use good faith efforts to enter into mutually acceptable agreements relating
to the development of real estate-related programming for Liberty Digital's
interactive television initiatives based on Move.com Group's Web content. Other
previously disclosed initiatives with Liberty Media continue in the planning
and feasibility stage.

OTHER ITEMS

The following items are also reflected in the first quarter results:

First quarter 2000

o   A credit of $41 million ($26 million or $0.03 per share after tax) to
    reflect an adjustment to the amount of the settlement charge recorded in the
    fourth quarter of 1998 for the PRIDES class action litigation due to
    disallowed claims.

o   Restructuring and other unusual charges totaling $106 million ($70 million
    or $0.09 per share after tax). The charges consist of $39 million related to
    personnel, $9 million related to facilities, $30 million related primarily
    to the abandonment of certain capitalized software development activities,
    $21 million related to a contribution to an independent technology trust to
    facilitate Internet initiatives for the benefit of lodging franchisees and
    $7 million of other. Approximately $60 million is classified as
    restructuring which is aimed at increasing efficiencies and productivity and
    reducing cost structures in the underlying businesses.

o   An extraordinary loss of $4 million ($2 million after tax) for the early
    extinguishment of debt associated with the Company's $400 million 7.5%
    senior notes, which were redeemed in January 2000.

o   As previously disclosed, effective January 1, 2000, the Company implemented
    the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101
    ("SAB 101"), which modified the timing of revenue recognition. Accordingly,
    in first quarter 2000, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to account for
    the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $89 million ($56 million or
    $0.07 per share after tax). SAB 101 impacted the timing of revenue
    recognition related to preferred alliance access fee revenues and
    subscriptions within the Company's timeshare exchange business.

o   Charges totaling $13 million ($8 million or $0.01 per share after tax) for
    losses related to the disposition of businesses.

First quarter 1999

o   A $193 million after tax gain on the sale of Cendant Software Corporation, a
    discontinued operation.

Reported net income, including unusual and other items, was $69 million ($0.09
per share) in the first quarter of 2000 compared with $362 million ($0.43 per
share) in 1999. (See Table 3 for Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income).

(A)  Defined as earnings before non-operating interest, income taxes,
     depreciation, amortization and minority interest, adjusted to exclude gains
     and losses on the dispositions of businesses and certain charges or credits
     which are of a non-recurring or unusual nature.

(B)  As of January 1, 2000, the Company refined its corporate overhead
     allocation method. See Table 6 for the pro forma impact of such refinement.

(C)  Excludes a charge of $106 million in connection with restructuring
     initiatives focused principally on consolidating and rationalizing existing
     processes, improving the overall level of organizational efficiency and
     other restructuring-related efforts ($60 million, $1 million, $1 million,
     $23 million, $9 million, $1 million and $11 million of charges were
     recorded within the Travel, Relocation, Mortgage, Individual Membership,
     Insurance/Wholesale, Move.com and Diversified Services segments,
     respectively).

(D)  Excludes $4 million of losses related to the dispositions of businesses.

(E)  Excludes charges of $9 million for losses related to the dispositions of
     businesses and $3 million for investigation-related costs. Such charges
     were partially offset by a non-cash credit of $41 million in connection
     with a change to the original estimate of the number of Rights to be issued
     in connection with the PRIDES settlement resulting from unclaimed and
     uncontested Rights.

(F)  Excludes charges of $7 million in connection with the termination of a
     proposed acquisition and $2 million for investigation-related costs. Such
     charges were partially offset by a $1 million credit for the net gain on
     the sale of Essex Corporation, a Company subsidiary.

(A)  As of January 1, 2000, the Company refined its corporate overhead
     allocation method. As a result, expenses determined to be primarily
     associated with a specific business segment are recorded by that business
     segment versus allocating those expenses among the segments based on a
     percentage of revenue. The Company determined the refinement in corporate
     allocation methods to be appropriate prospective to the completion of the
     Company's divestiture plan and based on the composition of the business
     units comprising the Company in 2000.

(B)  Pro Forma 1999 Adjusted EBITDA is presented as if the refined method of
     allocating corporate overhead in 2000 was applicable to 1999.
