  • Gross profit grew 158% year-over-year to $8.6 million.
  • Net operating loss of $4.3 million, compared to a loss of $1.0 million in Q3 2021.
  • Operating expense as percentage of revenue of 11.5%, compared to 11.2% in Q3 2021.
  • Net loss attributable to owners of the Company of $5.2 million, compared to a $1.1 million loss in Q3 2021.
  • Loss per share of $0.03, compared to a loss per share of $0.01 in the same period in 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.9 million, compared to a loss of $0.7 million in Q3 2021.
  • As of September 30, 2022, the Company held $21.9 million in cash and an additional $9.8 million held in investment securities available for sale at fair value.
  • The Company repurchased $1.1 million of common shares pursuant to its normal course issuer bid.

Operational Highlights

  • Surpassed 6,700 agents at the end of Q3 2022, a 126% year-over-year increase.
  • Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Real surpassed the 7,000 agent milestone in October.
  • The number of transactions executed over the platform grew 197% year-over-year to 11,233 in Q3 2022.
  • The value of completed real estate transactions grew 193% year-over-year to $4.2 billion.
  • For agents that closed a deal during Q3, commission revenue per agent was slightly over $35,000. These agents on average closed 3.6 transactions during the quarter.
  • Operating expenses per transaction, excluding revenue share, declined 43% year-over-year to $802 from $1,419 in Q3 2021.
  • Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Real expanded its existing relationship with Redline Real Estate Group to serve as the foundation for expansion into British Columbia, bringing Real’s brokerage footprint to 44 U.S. states and the District of Columbia in the U.S. and Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia in Canada.
  • As of September 30, 2022, Real’s efficiency ratio, which is calculated as full-time employees (excluding Real Title) divided by the number of agents, increased to 1:77 from 1:62 at the end of Q2 2022.

“Despite a challenging quarter for the housing market, Real continued to gain market share with strong growth in the number of agents joining our platform and the number of transactions executed, which offset effects of the broader market weakness,” said Tamir Poleg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As we head into the end of the year, we believe our superior agent offering will continue to be a winning proposition in gaining market share, while our strong balance sheet allows us to effectively navigate the market and invest in building out our full consumer-facing vision.”

The Company will discuss the results on a conference call and live webcast today at 11:00 a.m. EST.

Non-IFRS Measures

This news release includes reference to “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is a non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) financial measure. Non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is used as an alternative to net income by removing major non-cash items such as amortization, interest, stock-based compensation, current and deferred income tax expenses and other items management considers non-operating in nature. Adjusted EBITDA has no direct comparable IFRS financial measures. The Company has used or included this non-IFRS measures solely to provide investors with added insight into Real’s financial performance. Readers are cautioned that such non-IFRS measures may not be appropriate for any other purpose. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following table reconciles the non-IFRS measure to the most comparable IFRS measure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. This measure does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
