Management Commentary

“Our rapid growth has continued unabated as we move through 2017, evidenced by our 198% revenue growth to a record $39.6 million in the second quarter, as well as our recently achieved 4,300-plus agent milestone,” said Glenn Sanford, founder, chairman and CEO of eXp World Holdings, Inc. “We expect the pace of growth to continue in the second half of 2017, as we leverage the viral growth aspect of the eXp Realty model and growing our brand throughout North America. We believe our investments into core infrastructure and software development should also offer greater economies of scale and a notably increased capacity to onboard new agents to the eXp Realty platform moving forward.

“We also remain committed to keeping eXp Realty the most agent-centric real estate brokerage available. The creation of the Agent Advisory Council, as well as the recent naming of Suzy Truax, an eXp Realty real estate agent, to the Board of Directors, underscores our promise to ensure the agent’s ‘voice’ is heard as we grow our organization.

“We believe that eXp World Holdings can create significant value for its shareholders, which will be accelerated by potentially introducing an affiliated services program. This offering could include services such as mortgage origination, homeowners insurance, and title and escrow services; however, we will continue to focus on our core infrastructure investments in further scaling the business for the foreseeable future. I am extremely proud of our team for their hard work, dedication and continued focus on maintaining the agent-centric culture that has made eXp Realty a great place to do business.”

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenues increased 198% to a record $39.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2016. Sequentially, revenues increased 80% when compared to revenue of $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2017. This growth is a direct result of the increased agent count and corresponding higher revenues realized by the company’s real estate brokerage division, eXp Realty.

In the second quarter of 2017, eXp Realty added 800 agents and brokers to its platform, an increase of 169% when compared to 297 agents and brokers added in the second quarter of 2016. This represents a sequential increase of 11.5% when compared to 717 agents added in the first quarter of 2017. eXp Realty ended the second quarter of 2017 with 3,913 real estate professionals on its platform across 45 states, the District of Columbia, and Alberta and Ontario, Canada. As of August 13, 2017, eXp Realty had 4,326 agents on its platform.

During the second quarter of 2017, net income from operations was $3.3 million, compared to a net loss from operations of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. This improvement was primarily due to the change of intrinsic value options, which resulted in a $5.5 million non-cash benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2017.

Net income in the second quarter of 2017 was $3.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. This improvement was primarily attributed to the aforementioned increase in revenue, as well as a $0.6 million decrease in non-cash expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) in the second quarter of 2017 increased 166% to $1.6 million, compared to $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2017 were $1.6 million, compared to $1.8 million as of March 31, 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We view Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is net income (loss). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock based compensation. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us an important measure of operating performance and enhances comparability while providing investors with useful insight into the underlying trends of the business. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, as the excluded items may have significant effects on our operating results and financial condition. Additionally, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies’ measure of Adjusted EBITDA. When evaluating our performance, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income and other GAAP results. In the future, we may disclose different non-GAAP financial measures in order to help our investors and others more meaningfully evaluate and compare our future results of operations to our previously reported results of operations.
