Management Commentary

“I am excited to return as CEO of eXp Realty to drive our next phase of growth by doubling down on agent-centric innovation,” said Glenn Sanford, Founder, Chairman and CEO of eXp World Holdings. “Our model was designed to withstand varying market conditions, which uniquely positions us to continue investing in the agent experience in a down market. In turn, we maximize long-term growth and profitability.”

“Thanks to the hard work of our agents and our industry-leading operating efficiency, our core eXp Realty North American business remained solidly profitable in the fourth quarter despite the market downturn. In line with how we manage our business, we are now reporting segment-level financial information, which also provides transparency into the financial performance of our core business and the investments we are making to reinforce and extend our position as the most agent-centric brokerage on the planet.”

“We believe Net Promoter Score (NPS) is the best way to measure our success, and we were thrilled to end the year with a global agent NPS score of 73, a level which rivals the most loved consumer brands in the world. As market conditions improve, we expect our unrelenting focus on agent success to deliver lasting growth and the potential for significant wealth creation for our brokers, agents and shareholders in the years ahead,” concluded Sanford.

“In 2022, we generated $4.6 billion in revenue and over $242 million in Operating Cash Flow(1) while maintaining a strong balance sheet with $122 million of cash and no debt,” said Jeff Whiteside, CFO and Chief Collaboration Officer of eXp World Holdings. “Moving forward, eXp’s profitable North American Realty segment will enable us to continue investing in the eXp platform to accelerate agent success and drive long-term, profitable growth.”

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Operational Highlights as Compared to the Same Year-Ago Period:

  • Agents and brokers on the eXp Realty platform increased 21% to 86,203 as of Dec. 31, 2022.
  • Real estate transactions closed increased 15% to 511,859 in 2022 and decreased 13% year over year to 109,168 in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Real estate transaction volume increased 20% to $187.3 billion in 2022 and decreased 16% year over year to $37.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • eXp Realty expanded into six new international locations in 2022, including the Dominican Republic, Greece, New Zealand, Chile and Poland. In late 2022, eXp Realty announced operations in Dubai, which is expected to be fully operational in 2023.
  • eXp Realty ended 2022 with a global Net Promoter Score of 73, a measure of agent satisfaction, as part of the Company’s intense focus on improving the agent experience.

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 and may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies. It 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 Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about financial performance, enhances the overall understanding of past performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to a key metric used by management for financial and operational decision-making. Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in the business that otherwise could be masked by the effect of the expenses that are 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 the non-U.S. GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to mean net income (loss), excluding other income (expense), income tax benefit (expense), depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense, and stock option expense. Adjusted EBITDA may assist investors in seeing financial performance through the eyes of management, and may provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in the industry.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA compared to Net Income (Loss), the closest comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Some of these limitations are that:

  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense and stock option expense, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring expenses in the business and an important part of the compensation strategy; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and impairment charges related to these long-lived assets, and, although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future.

Safe Harbor Statement

The statements contained herein may include statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the continued growth of our agent and broker base; expansion of our residential real estate brokerage business into foreign markets; and revenue growth and financial performance. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and the company undertakes no obligation to revise or update them. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in forward-looking statements include changes in business or other market conditions; the difficulty of keeping expense growth at modest levels while increasing revenues; and other risks detailed from time to time in the company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.
