ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         EARNINGS RELEASE

         On April 17, 2002, we reported our first quarter 2002 results, which
         included our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the
         three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and our Consolidated
         Statement of Free Cash Flows for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002
         and 2001. We also revised full year 2002 projections. Our first quarter
         2002 results and the revised full year 2002 projections are discussed
         in more detail in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1,
         which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

         Free cash flow is a measure used by management to evaluate liquidity
         and financial condition. Free cash flow represents cash available for
         the repayment of debt and other corporate purposes such as acquisitions
         and investments. The Company has provided the Consolidated Schedules of
         Free Cash Flows as it reflects the measure by which management
         evaluates the performance of its cash flows. Such measure of
         performance may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by
         other companies and is not a measurement recognized under generally
         accepted accounting principles. Therefore, free cash flow should not be
         construed as a substitute for income or cash flow from operations in
         measuring operating results or liquidity. The Consolidated Schedules of
         Free Cash Flows for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001
         should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Condensed
         Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Condensed Statements of
         Income attached hereto, as well as the Company's Consolidated
         Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statements of Operations
         included within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
         ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission on April 1, 2002.

         ACQUISITION OF NRT INCORPORATED AND ARVIDA REALTY SERVICES

         On April 17, 2002, we announced that we exercised our option to acquire
         100% of the common stock of NRT Incorporated from Apollo Management, LP
         and members of NRT management. NRT is the largest residential real
         estate brokerage firm in the United States. NRT was formed as a joint
         venture between Cendant and Apollo Management in 1997. On April 17,
         2002, we also announced that NRT acquired Clearwater, Florida Arvida
         Realty Services, the largest residential real estate brokerage in
         Florida. A copy of the press release announcing our acquisition of NRT
         and NRT's acquisition of Arvida is attached as Exhibit 99.2, which is
         incorporated by reference in its entirety.

                       to $1.36, a 30% Increase Over 2001


NEW YORK, NY, APRIL 17, 2002 - Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD) today reported
record first quarter 2002 results. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.34 and
reported earnings per share was $0.34 (adjusted EPS excludes non-recurring or
unusual items). The Company raised its projection for adjusted earnings per
share for 2002 by $0.07 to $1.36, a 30% increase over the results for 2001. The
increased forecast reflects the strength of the Company's businesses and the
anticipated results of the previously announced acquisitions of Trendwest
Resorts, NRT Incorporated, and Arvida Realty Services.

Cendant's Chairman, President and CEO, Henry R. Silverman, stated: "Simply put,
we had an outstanding quarter. All of our operating segments reported
year-over-year EBITDA growth of at least 10%, and performed ahead of our
expectations. In addition, our operating leverage, which increased due to our
cost reductions after September 11th, produced the expected outcome--a
substantial portion of every incremental dollar of revenue dropped to the bottom
line. Our organic growth exceeded our long term targets.

"I am particularly pleased that we now expect to attain our previously announced
stretch goal of adjusted earnings per share of $1.35 to $1.40 for 2002."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
     The Company has announced several activities during 2002:

     o   The Company completed the acquisition of Equivest Finance, Inc. for
         approximately $100 million in cash and the assumption of approximately
         $65 million of corporate debt, and signed a definitive agreement to
         acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Trendwest Resorts
         through a tax-free exchange of approximately $890 million of Cendant
         common stock and the assumption of $70 million of net corporate debt.
         Equivest and Trendwest market, sell and finance vacation ownership
         interests.

     o   The Company announced today that it acquired NRT Incorporated, the
         largest residential real estate brokerage firm in the United States,
         for approximately $230 million in


                                       1



         Cendant common stock, plus the assumption of $300 million of net debt,
         and NRT subsequently acquired Arvida Realty Services, the largest
         residential real estate brokerage firm in Florida, for approximately
         $160 million in cash.

     o   Rating agencies Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's recently affirmed
         the Company's senior unsecured credit ratings of BBB Plus, Baa1 and
         BBB, respectively, and removed Cendant from credit watch.

FIRST QUARTER 2002 SEGMENT RESULTS
The following discussion of operating results addresses segment revenue and
Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before non-program-related
interest, income taxes, non-program-related depreciation and amortization and
minority interest, adjusted to exclude certain items that are of a non-recurring
or unusual nature and are not measured in assessing segment performance. Such
discussion is the most informative representation of how management evaluates
performance and allocates resources. During the first quarter of 2002, the
segment results contained no adjustments of a non-recurring or unusual nature.
Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are expressed in millions.


REAL ESTATE SERVICES

(Consisting of the Company's real estate brokerage brands, mortgage and
relocation services.)

                                       2002            2001             % CHANGE

ADJUSTED EBITDA                        $182            $132                  38%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The increase in operating results was driven primarily by increased franchise
fees from our Century 21, Coldwell Banker and ERA franchise brands and continued
growth in mortgage loan production during the first quarter of 2002.

HOSPITALITY
(Consisting of the Company's nine lodging brands, timeshare exchange and
interval sales, and vacation rental.)

                                       2002            2001             % CHANGE

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to the acquisitions of
Fairfield Resorts in April 2001 and Equivest in February 2002, and organic
growth in our timeshare exchange and vacation rental businesses.

TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION
(Consisting of electronic global distribution services for the travel industry
and travel agency services.)

                                       2002            2001             % CHANGE

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
N/M = not meaningful

The October 2001 acquisitions of Galileo International, Inc. and Cheap Tickets
Inc. drove the substantial revenue and Adjusted EBITDA increases in the first
quarter of 2002. While the terrorist incidents of September 11 caused a
significant decrease in the demand for travel-related


                                       2


services and, accordingly, reduced the booking volumes of Galileo and our travel
agency businesses during the third and fourth quarters of 2001, travel bookings
improved during the first quarter of 2002.

VEHICLE SERVICES
(Consisting of car rental, vehicle management services and car park services.)

                                       2002            2001             % CHANGE

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADJUSTED EBITDA                        $104             $93                  12%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased substantially due to the acquisition of
Avis Group Holdings as of March 1, 2001 and improved results at our National Car
Parks subsidiary. Our Avis car rental business, which was significantly impacted
by reduced travel volumes after September 11, reported stronger-than-expected
results throughout the first quarter of 2002.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

(Consisting of individual membership products, insurance-related services,
financial services enhancement products and tax preparation services.)

                                       2002            2001             % CHANGE

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADJUSTED EBITDA                       $164             $131                  25%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased in the first quarter primarily due to
increased tax preparation volume.

BALANCE SHEET AND OTHER ITEMS
o     As of March 31, 2002, we had approximately $1.1 billion of cash and cash
      equivalents and $6.1 billion of debt and preferred minority interest. In
      addition, the Company has $863 million of mandatorily convertible Upper
      DECS securities outstanding.
o     As of March 31, 2002, the net debt to total capital ratio was 37%. The
      ratio of adjusted EBITDA to net interest expense (non-program related) was
      10.5 to 1 for first quarter 2002.
o     As of March 31, 2002, the Company had undrawn lines of credit of $2.6
      billion (not including undrawn lines of credit of $1.6 billion related to
      our PHH subsidiary).
o     In the first quarter of 2002, we paid $250 million to a settlement trust,
      reducing the liability associated with the principal common stock class
      action litigation settlement at March 31, 2002 to $1.2 billion. We
      anticipate funding the balance of this obligation by July 16, 2002.
o     Weighted average common shares outstanding, including dilutive securities,
      were 1.02 billion for the first quarter of 2002 compared with 830 million
      for first quarter 2001. The increase was primarily from the issuance of 61
      million shares in connection with the retirement of $1.7 billion of Feline
      PRIDES in February 2001, the sale of 46 million shares in February 2001
      and the issuance of 117 million shares in connection with the acquisition
      of Galileo International in October 2001.

RECONCILIATION OF FIRST QUARTER ADJUSTED EPS TO REPORTED EPS

Adjusted EPS excludes items that are of a non-recurring or unusual nature and
Move.com-related items. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP (generally accepted
accounting principles) measure, but the Company believes that it is useful to
assist investors in gaining an understanding of the trends and results of
operations for the Company's core businesses. Adjusted EPS should be viewed in


                                       3



addition to the Company's reported results and not in lieu of reported results.
Reported earnings per share was $0.34 in the first quarter of 2002 compared with
reported earnings per share before the cumulative effect of an accounting change
of $0.30 in the first quarter of 2001.

The only item reflected in first quarter 2002 reported results that is
considered to be of an unusual or non-recurring nature for purposes of deriving
adjusted EPS is an after tax charge of $6 million for costs related to
securities litigation. In the first quarter of 2001, unusual or non-recurring
items included: net income of $210 million, or $0.26 per share, associated with
Move.com related items, primarily a gain on the sale of Move.com to
Homestore.com; and net after-tax charges of $134 million or $0.17 per share,
primarily to fund travel and real estate technology initiatives, acquisition and
integration-related costs, and for costs associated with securities litigation
(see Table 3).

2002 QUARTERLY OUTLOOK
The Company projects adjusted EPS of $0.36 for the second quarter of 2002
compared with $0.30 in 2001; $0.39 for the third quarter of 2002 compared with
$0.32 in 2001; and $0.27 for the fourth quarter of 2002 compared with $0.23 in
2001. The acquisitions of Trendwest, NRT and Arvida will cause the seasonality
of Cendant's earnings to be weighted to the second and third quarters of the
year. The Company announced the following financial projections for the second
and third quarters of 2002: (in millions)


SECOND QUARTER 2002 THIRD QUARTER 2002 ------------------ ------------------ Adjusted EBITDA $780 - $790 $885 - $900 Percentage increase vs. prior year 33%-35% 47%-49% Depreciation and amortization $115 - $120 $120 - $125 Interest expense, net $85 - $95 $100 - $110 Minority interest $7 $7 Weighted average shares outstanding 1,050 - 1,070 1,130 - 1,150
In the table above, depreciation and interest expense exclude program-related amounts. The Company's 2002 tax rate is expected to be between 33.0% and 33.5%. The increase in weighted average shares outstanding is due to the Trendwest and NRT acquisitions and the assumption that the Company's CODES securities will become convertible in the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the balance of 2002 will exclude acquisition and integration-related costs, including the non-cash amortization of pendings and listings from real estate brokerage acquisitions, and securities litigation costs.

                        CENDANT ACQUIRES NRT INCORPORATED

                      NRT Purchases Arvida Realty Services

   Acquisitions Will Add To Cendant's Adjusted EPS and Leading Market Position
                           In Residential Real Estate

NEW YORK, NY, APRIL 17, 2002 - Cendant Corporation (NYSE:CD) today announced
that it has exercised its option to acquire 100% of the common stock of NRT
Incorporated from Apollo Management, LP and members of NRT management. NRT is
the largest residential real estate brokerage firm in the United States. The
purchase price was approximately 12 million shares of Cendant common stock or
$230 million, plus assumption of about $300 million of net debt, which will be
retired.

NRT was formed as a joint venture between Cendant and Apollo Management in 1997.
It operates more than 850 brokerage offices with more than 45,000 agents in 24
of the nation's largest metropolitan areas. In 2001, it represented buyers and
sellers of approximately $120 billion of residential real estate.

Cendant also announced that its NRT subsidiary has acquired Clearwater, Florida-
based Arvida Realty Services, the largest residential real estate brokerage in
Florida, from The St. Joe Company (NYSE:JOE), for approximately $160 million in
cash. The Arvida offices will be converted to Coldwell Banker, a Cendant brand,
and will be integrated with NRT's existing Coldwell Banker operations in
Florida. The transaction does not include Arvida Community Development, a
homebuilder.

Together, these transactions are expected to increase Cendant's 2002 Adjusted
earnings per share by $0.02.

As previously announced, the Company excludes from adjusted results costs
related to shareholder litigation and costs incurred in connection with the
Company's acquisitions. Accordingly, Cendant will exclude costs in connection
with the acquisitions of NRT and Arvida Realty and NRT's future acquisition
activities, primarily the non-cash amortization of acquired pendings and
listings required under GAAP. Cendant will also exclude conversion costs
relating to the integration of previously owned offices with acquired real
estate offices.

Cendant Corporation is primarily a provider of travel and residential real
estate services. With approximately 70,000 employees, New York City-based
Cendant provides these services to business and consumers in over 100 countries.
More information about Cendant, its companies, brands and current SEC filings
may be obtained by visiting the Company's Web site at http://www.cendant.com or
by calling 877-4-INFOCD (877-446-3623).

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure,
but the Company believes that it is useful to assist investors in gaining an
understanding of the trends and results of operations for the Company's core
businesses. Adjusted EPS should be viewed in addition to GAAP results and not in
lieu of GAAP results.
