eXp World Holdings Reports Q3 2024 Results

BELLINGHAM, Wash., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), or the “Company”, the holding company for eXp Realty®, FrameVR.io and SUCCESS® Enterprises, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2024.

“This is an exciting and pivotal time for eXp agents worldwide,” said Glenn Sanford, eXp World Holdings Founder, Chairman and CEO. “We continue to operate the most innovative, agent-centric real estate brokerage on the planet, improving the agent value proposition by leveraging technology like generative AI to help eXp agents and employees work faster, better and smarter. Our competitive value proposition and continued strong agent NPS score indicate we are well-positioned for success as the market begins to turn. Worldwide, we continue to unlock the international opportunities by supporting tools like HomeHunter.global and our expected upcoming expansion of the eXp Realty model into Türkiye, Peru, and Egypt markets that we announced at eXpcon last week.”

“We are thrilled to announce that eXp Realty welcomed several high-achieving independent brokerages and agent teams to our platform in the third quarter,” said Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. “Leading independent brokerages, recognized as powerhouses in their regions, are choosing eXp to accelerate their growth and maximize their earnings potential. Our innovative business model and exceptional value proposition set us apart in the industry, and our strategic investments in cutting-edge programs and technology make eXp an incredibly attractive option for independent brokerages. By joining eXp, they gain access to resources and support that would be prohibitively expensive to develop independently.”

“In the third quarter, we increased our margins and profitability, despite a continued challenging market, demonstrating the strength and sustainability of our business model,” stated Kent Cheng, Principal Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer of eXp World Holdings. “Simultaneously, we are committed to investing in our agents by hosting inspiring events like eXpcon in the fourth quarter and continuing to lead the industry in agent technology innovations.”

Third Quarter 2024 Consolidated Financial Highlights as Compared to the Same Year-Ago Period:

  • Third quarter revenue increased 2% to $1.2 billion, driven by increased home sales prices and the superior productivity of our agents.
  • Third quarter net (loss) income from continuing operations of ($6.5 million) compared to net income of $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Net income was impacted unfavorably by an $18.0 million litigation contingency provision related to the antitrust settlement. Third quarter net (loss) income from continuing operations per diluted share of ($0.04) compared to $0.01 in the year-ago quarter.
  • Third quarter adjusted net income1 (a non-GAAP financial measure) excluding antitrust litigation contingency provision and discontinued operations was $7.8 million compared to adjusted net income of $2.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Third quarter adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.05 compared to adjusted $0.01 in the third quarter of 2023.
  • Third quarter adjusted operating costs2 (a non-GAAP financial measure) were $78.0 million, a 1% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was driven by lower technology and development expenses and lower sales and marketing expenses, partially offset by increased legal expenses associated with the antitrust lawsuit.
  • Third quarter adjusted EBITDA3 (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $23.9 million, an increase of 15% compared to the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was higher year over year, due to improved business efficiencies, reduced costs, and higher revenues and gross profit.
  • As of Sept. 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $130.4 million, compared to $120.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The Company repurchased approximately $35.0 million of common stock during the third quarter of 2024.
  • The Company paid a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2024 of $0.05 per share of common stock on Aug. 30, 2024. On Nov. 4, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock for the fourth quarter of 2024, expected to be paid on Dec. 2, 2024 to stockholders of record on Nov. 18, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Operational Highlights as Compared to the Same Year-Ago Period:

  • eXp ended the third quarter of 2024 with a global agent Net Promoter Score (aNPS) of 76, up from 74 a year ago. aNPS is a measure of agent satisfaction and an important key performance indicator (KPI) given the Company’s intense focus on improving the agent experience.
  • Agents and brokers on the eXp Realty platform decreased 4% year-over-year to 85,249 as of Sept. 30, 2024 as we continue to off-board less productive agents. However, we are committed to retaining our most productive agents in the United States and Canada through the execution of our growth strategies and the end-to-end suite of services we offer our agents.
  • Real estate sales transactions decreased 1% year-over-year to 117,830.
  • Transaction volume increased 5% year-over-year to $50.8 billion.
  • Welcomed several independent brokerage teams to eXp Realty, including:

    • Delhougne Realty Group, a leading independent brokerage in St. Louis. In 2023, the Delhougne Realty Group achieved a remarkable $353,330,000 in sales volume with 1,160 transactions, earning over 2,000 5-star reviews on Zillow.

  • Launched Groups Within eXp Commercial for Unmatched Advisor Collaboration and Streamlined Deals.

Subsequent Events Highlights:

  • On Oct. 1, 2024, eXp World Holdings entered into a settlement term sheet to pay $34.0 million to settle various industry class-action lawsuits on a nationwide basis.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating costs which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. These measures are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information about financial performance, enhances the overall understanding of past performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management for financial and operational decision-making. This measure may also provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in the industry.

  • Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in the business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses excluded in adjusted EBITDA. In particular, the Company believes the exclusion of stock and stock option expenses provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of operations and provides better transparency into results of operations. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA to mean net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding other income (expense), income tax benefit (expense), depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, litigation contingency expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and stock option expense.
  • Adjusted net income helps identify underlying trends in the business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of significant non-operating related expenses that management does not consider ongoing. The Company defines adjusted net (loss) income to mean net (loss) income adjusted for net loss from discontinued operations and the after tax impact of the litigation contingency accrual.
  • Adjusted operating cost helps the reader understand the trends in our general, administrative, technology and other costs. The Company defines adjusted operating costs as operating costs excluding commissions and other agent-related costs and the litigation contingency.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating costs should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
