The Real Brokerage Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Real delivered another quarter of significant double-digit organic revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, despite an overall housing market that remains near trough levels,” said Tamir Poleg, Real’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We enter the second half of the year with a robust pipeline and continue to make meaningful progress toward closing our acquisition of RE/MAX Holdings Inc. ("REMAX"), with our securityholder meeting to approve the transaction scheduled for August 14, 2026. We look forward to bringing together REMAX's iconic global brand and network of over 140,000 agents with Real's technology platform as the Real REMAX Group, and to building the technology-enabled real estate platform of the future together.”

“Real’s agent count grew 26% year-over-year to 35,348 in the second quarter, and we continue to make progress rolling out AI enhancements across our technology platform to improve the agent experience, while driving growth across our higher-margin ancillary services. With integration planning under way we have high confidence in our ability to achieve $30 million of cost synergies within three years post-closing,” said Jenna Rozenblat, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Integration Officer.

“Real delivered another quarter of strong financial performance,” said Ravi Jani, Chief Financial Officer. “Revenue grew 30% to $700.6 million, and GAAP net loss was $8.0 million, including approximately $11.6 million of acquisition costs related to the pending REMAX acquisition. On a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted EBITDA1 grew 38% to $27.6 million. We ended the quarter with $86.6 million in cash and no debt, providing us with significant financial flexibility as we work toward closing the REMAX acquisition.”

Non-GAAP Measures and Ratios

This news release includes references to “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Operating Expense”, and “Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share and Acquisition Costs”, 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 a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that management uses to evaluate operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income/(loss) before finance expenses, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, intangible asset impairment expense, stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses, acquisition costs and expenses related to litigation settlements.

Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share and Acquisition Costs 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, and acquisition costs related to the Company's pending acquisition of REMAX.

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 and Acquisition Costs 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 six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025 and is presented in the table below labeled Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. Our Adjusted Operating Expense and Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share and Acquisition Costs reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure is presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and on a quarterly basis for the prior two fiscal years in the table below labeled Reconciliation of Operating Expense to Adjusted Operating Expense by Quarter.

This press release also includes non-GAAP ratios, which are financial measures 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 per Transaction Excluding Revenue Share and Acquisition Costs is a ratio calculated as Operating Expense Excluding Revenue Share and Acquisition Costs, 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.

Forward-looking statements/forward-looking information include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could.” These forward-looking statements/forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements related to the expected benefits of the proposed transaction with REMAX; the anticipated impact of the proposed transaction on the combined company’s business and future financial and operating results, including the expected leverage of the combined company and the amount and timing of synergies from the proposed transaction; the completion of the transaction and the expected timeline; and the ability to satisfy all closing conditions, including the receipt of required approvals for the transaction. Forward-looking statements/forward-looking information inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements, including statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. Where, in any forward-looking statement, Real expresses an expectation or belief as to future results or events, it is based on Real’s current plans and expectations, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, Real cannot give any assurance that any such expectation or belief will result or will be achieved or accomplished. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: Real’s ability to consummate the proposed transaction on the expected timeline or at all; Real’s ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in a timely manner and the risk that such approvals are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; Real’s or REMAX’s ability to obtain approval of their shareholders; the risk that a condition of closing of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied or that the closing of the proposed transaction might otherwise not occur; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, including in circumstances requiring Real to pay a termination fee; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; risks related to disruption from the proposed transaction, including disruption of management time from current plans and ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction and integration matters; the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on Real’s ability to retain agents, franchisees and personnel or that there could be potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction; potential litigation relating to Real’s expectations regarding revenue growth and profitability and the business, strategic plans of Real, or the proposed transaction that could be instituted against the parties to the merger agreement or their respective directors, managers or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; the ability of the combined company to achieve the synergies and other anticipated benefits expected from the proposed transaction or such synergies and other anticipated benefits taking longer to realize than anticipated; the ability of the combined company to achieve the expected leverage or such leverage taking longer to realize than anticipated; Real’s ability to integrate REMAX promptly and effectively; anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, economic performance, future prospects and business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the combined company’s operations; certain restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact Real’s or REMAX’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions or otherwise operate their respective businesses; slowdowns in real estate markets, economic and industry downturns, Real’s ability to attract new agents and retain current agents, Real’s inability to successfully launch new products and features; Real’s inability to scale while improving operating leverage, or inability to successfully execute our strategies, including our strategy related to HeyLeo; possible unfavorable results in legal proceedings; changes in laws, regulations or the regulatory environment affecting our business; disruptions to our technology or cybersecurity incidents; and other risk factors detailed from time to time in Real’s and REMAX’s reports filed with the SEC and Real’s reports filed with Canadian securities regulators, including Real’s annual report on Form 40-F, current reports on Form 6-K and other documents filed with the SEC and Real’s audited annual financial statements and annual management’s discussion and analysis for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, Annual Information Form dated March 4, 2026 filed with Canadian securities regulators and Real’s Quarterly Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended June 30, 2026, copies of which are available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and documents that will be filed with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators in connection with the proposed transaction.

While the list of factors presented here and in the Registration Statement and Real management information circular are considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements/forward-looking information. You should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements/forward-looking information as they are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes; actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation, Real’s actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of new markets or market segments in which Real operates, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements/forward-looking information contained in this press release. Real does not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements/forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws. Neither future distribution of this press release nor the continued availability of this press release in archive form on Real’s website should be deemed to constitute an update or re-affirmation of these statements as of any future date.
