MIAMI, October 30, 2025 – The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX) (“Real” or the “Company”), a leading real estate technology platform redefining the industry through innovation and culture, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
“Real continued to materially outperform the broader housing market in the third quarter, with closed transactions up 49% year-over-year,” said Tamir Poleg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We also surpassed 30,000 agents, reinforcing the strength of our model and our ability to grow in any market cycle. Our focus remains on delivering meaningful value to our agents and their clients while expanding a differentiated ecosystem of ancillary products and services.”
“We organically grew our agent base by 2,100 agents in the third quarter, while our churn metrics declined to multi year lows, demonstrating the durability of our growth engine, “ said Jenna Rozenblat, Real’s Chief Operating Officer. “Our priority remains to drive deeper agent engagement, streamline the client experience, and support productivity across our network. With this momentum, we look forward to closing out the year from a position of strength, while laying the foundation for an even stronger 2026.”
“In the third quarter, revenue increased 53% to $568.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 grew 54% to $20.4 million, while operating losses narrowed compared to last year,” said Ravi Jani, Chief Financial Officer. “We ended the quarter with a record $56 million of unrestricted cash and short term investments, even after deploying $15.5 million to share repurchases during the quarter. This financial strength gives us ample flexibility to invest in our platform, support ancillary expansion, and return capital to shareholders.”

Non-GAAP Measures and Ratios
This news release includes references to “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Operating Expense”, and “Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share”, which are non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures. Non-GAAP measures, including Non-GAAP ratios, are not recognized measures under GAAP, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, 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 depreciation, amortization, interest, stock-based compensation, current and deferred income tax expenses and other items management considers unique and/or non-operating in nature.
Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share is used as an alternative to operating expenses by removing variable cash expenses associated with revenue share expenses, which is a component of marketing expenses.
Adjusted Operating Expense is used as an alternative to operating expenses by removing major non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, depreciation, and other unique or non-cash expenses, while retaining ongoing fixed operating expenses and excluding variable cash expenses associated with revenue share.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Expense and Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share have no direct comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company has used or included these non-GAAP measures solely to provide investors with added insight into Real’s financial performance. Readers are cautioned that such non-GAAP measures may not be appropriate for any other purpose. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and is presented in the table below labeled Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA. Our Adjusted Operating Expense and Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure is presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and on a quarterly basis for the prior two fiscal years in the table below labeled Reconciliation of Operating Expense to Adjusted Operating Expense.
This press release also includes Non-GAAP financial measure ratios. A non-GAAP ratio is a financial measure disclosed in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage, or similar representation and that has a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components.
Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share per Transaction is a ratio calculated as Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share, divided by the number of closed transaction sides. Adjusted Operating Expense per Transaction is a ratio calculated as Adjusted Operating Expense, divided by the number of closed transaction sides.
