eXp World Holdings Reports Q2 2024 Results

BELLINGHAM, Wash., July 31, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“The power of the eXp platform is paying off for our agents and eXp worldwide,” said Glenn Sanford, eXp World Holdings Founder, Chairman and CEO. “We believe the investments we’ve made to provide our agents with the best tools, technology and training during this downturn are helping them outpace the industry in productivity while increasing our agent NPS score. It’s clear that we have established the winning playbook for agents in the U.S. while our International segment is an untapped opportunity where I have taken a more active role guiding our ongoing growth. Moving forward, we will continue to relentlessly pursue our core objective of being the most agent-centric real estate brokerage on the planet.”

“After gathering feedback from agents during my first quarter as eXp Realty CEO, it is clear that our initiatives to support agent productivity are gaining traction,” said Leo Pareja, eXp Realty CEO. “Agents love the expanded learning and development options, faster payouts and Gen AI-based self-service capabilities we have introduced, and they are eager for what’s to come. I remain committed to seeking new ways to leverage technology to operate more efficiently, which will both fund our investments in agent productivity and drive agent satisfaction as increasingly automated processes enable agents to devote more of their time to serving their clients.”

“We delivered a solid second quarter as eXp agents closed $52 billion of transactions, a 7% year-over-year increase, and grew revenues 5% year-over-year while generating significant cash flow and returning $56 million to shareholders through share repurchases and cash dividends,” said Kent Cheng, Chief Accounting Officer of eXp World Holdings. “We continue to improve business efficiencies and reduce costs, even while investing aggressively in our agents. We believe this winning formula will drive superior growth and greater value for our shareholders over the long term.”

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

  • Second quarter revenue increased 5% to $1,295 million, driven by the superior productivity of our agents, which more than offset declines in the U.S. real estate market, as well as increased home sales prices. U.S. transaction units outperformed the market1.
  • Second quarter net income from continuing operations of $11.8 million compared to $11.4 million net income in the second quarter of 2023. In spite of a 44% increase of operating income, net income is impacted unfavorably by higher tax on continuing operations. Second quarter net income from continuing operations per diluted share of $0.08 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.07 in the year-ago quarter. Second quarter net income including discontinued operations was $12.4 million compared to $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Second quarter operating costs2 were $79.0 million, a 4% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was driven by lower expenses related to the shareholders summit in 2024, since it was conducted virtually, and lower employee-related expenses, partially offset by increased legal expenses associated with the antitrust lawsuit.
  • Second quarter adjusted EBITDA3 (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $32.8 million, an increase of 22% compared to the second 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 June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $108.4 million, compared to $124.7 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company repurchased approximately $48.2 million of common stock during the second quarter of 2024.
  • The Company paid a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2024 of $0.05 per share of common stock on May 27, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock for the third quarter of 2024, expected to be paid on August 30, 2024 to stockholders of record on August 14, 2024.

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

________________________
1 Based on home sales transaction growth and estimated market share. Sources: Industry transactions based on NAR existing home sales (assuming 2 sides per sale) and U.S. Census Bureau new home sales (assuming 1 side per sale).
2 Excludes commissions and other agent-related costs.
3 A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and a discussion of why management believes adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is useful is included below.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. This measure is 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 EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
