Statement Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsCAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this reportThis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains statements that are not historical fact and may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements giveare not based on historical facts but rather represent current expectations or forecastsand assumptions of future events. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Many of these risks and other factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “should,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “can,” “would,” “potential”“potential,” “seek,” “goal” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are notof the exclusive means of doing so. Forward-looking statements may include statements about matters such as: future revenues; future industry market conditions; future changes in our capacityfuture. These risks and operations; future operating and overhead costs; operational and management restructuring activities (including implementation of methodologies and changes in the board of directors); future employment and contributions of personnel; tax and interest rates; capital expenditures and their impact on us; nature and timing of restructuring charges and the impact thereof; productivity, business process, rationalization, investment, acquisition, consulting, operational, tax, financial and capital projects and initiatives; contingencies; environmental compliance and changes in the regulatory environment; and future working capital, costs, revenues, business opportunities, debt levels, cash flows, margins, earnings and growth.

These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical and current trends, current conditions, possible future developments anduncertainties, as well as other factors they believe to be appropriate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, representations or warranties and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results developments and business decisions to differ materiallysignificantly from management’s expectations, including, but not limited to:

the impact of macroeconomic conditions on the strength of the residential real estate market;
the impact of monetary policies of the U.S. federal government and its agencies on our operations;
the impact of changes in consumer attitudes on home sale transaction volume;
the impact of excessive or insufficient home inventory supply on home sale transaction value;
our ability to effectively manage rapid growth in our business;
our ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel;
changes in tax laws and regulations that may have a material adverse effect on our business;
our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;
the impact of security breaches, interruptions, delays and failures in our systems and operations on our business;
financial condition and reputation;
our ability to predict the demand or growth of our new products and services;
our ability to maintain our agent growth rate;
the impact of adverse outcomes in litigation and regulatory actions against us and other companies and agents in our industry on our business; and
the effect of inflation and rising interest rates on real estate transaction values and our operating results, profits and cash flows.

Other factors not identified above, including those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Some of those risksdescribed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, and uncertainties include the risk factors set forthelsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our priorthe fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), may also causeactual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are difficult to anticipate and the following: current global economic and capital market uncertainties; potential dilution toare generally beyond our stockholders from our recapitalization and balance sheet restructuring activities; potential inability to continue to complycontrol. You should consider these factors in connection with government regulations; adoption of, or changes in legislation or regulations adversely affecting our businesses; permitting constraints or delays, business opportunitiesconsidering any forward-looking statements that may be presented to, or pursuedmade by us; changes in the United States or other monetary or fiscal policies or regulations; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; geopolitical events; potential inability to implement our business strategies; potential inability to grow revenues organically; potential inability to attractus.

Forward-looking statements are based on currently available operating, financial and retain key personnel; assertion of claims, lawsuitsmarket information and proceedings against us; potential inability to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting; potential inability or failure to timely file periodic reports with the SEC; and potential inability to list our securitiesare inherently uncertain. Investors should not place undue reliance on any securities exchange or market. Occurrence of such events or circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or the market price of our securities. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements, by or attributable to us or persons acting on our behalfwhich speak only as of the date they are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors.made and are not guarantees of future performance.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1.        BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”(“eXp,” or, “we” or “eXp”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 30, 2008. Through various operatingcollectively with its subsidiaries, the Company is“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) owns and operates a cloud-baseddiversified portfolio of service-based businesses whose operations benefit substantially from utilizing our technology platform. We strategically prioritize our efforts to grow our real estate brokerage operatingby strengthening our agent value proposition, developing immersive and cloud-based technology to enable our model and providing affiliate and media services supporting those efforts. Our real estate brokerage is now one of the largest and fastest-growing real estate brokerage companies in most U.S.the United States the District of Columbia and the provinces of AlbertaCanada and Ontario, Canada. The Company focuses on a number of cloud-based technologies in order to grow an international brokerage without the burden of physical bricks and mortar or redundant staffing costs.is rapidly expanding internationally.

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-0310-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principlesU.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024 (“2023 Annual Report”).

In our opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.presentation. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periodsthree months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2024.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company determined that there has been a significant change to the Virbela business model.  As our customers evolve post-COVID, including a return-to-work-offices, and in light of ongoing internal and external demand for web-accessible platforms and artificial intelligence solutions, we have experienced a decline in demand for our application-based platform, Virbela, and a rising interest in our web-accessible platform, Frame®. Accordingly, the Company has begun the process of winding down the Virbela business, which includes closing out current contracts, and reducing its external customers and internal employee support.  Further, the technology is being replaced with Virbela Frame® technology that will be primarily utilized internally within the Company.  The Company expects the process to wind down the Virbela business to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2024.  As a result of this change, the Company has determined that Virbela qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations and will be reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”).  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements, we will present the assets and liabilities of Virbela within discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and Virbela’s results of operations will be included in discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

2.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLESIn prior years, Virbela represented an operating and reporting segment under ASC 280.  Going forward, the remaining operations of Virbela will not meet the operating or reporting segment criteria, therefore, any operating results related to Virbela and Frame® technologies will be included in the Other Affiliated Services segment.  Prior year segment and financial statement information has been reclassified to reflect Virbela as discontinued operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eXp World Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries; eXp Realty Holdings, Inc.; First Cloud Mortgage, Inc. (dormant asconsolidated subsidiaries, including those entities in which we have a variable interest of December 31, 2016which we are the primary beneficiary. If the Company has a variable interest in an entity but it is not the primary beneficiary of the entity or exercises control over the operations and through September 30, 2017); eXp Realty Associates, LLC; eXp Realty, LLC; eXp Realtyhas less than 50% ownership, it will use the equity method or the cost method of California, Inc.; eXp Realty of Canada, Inc.;accounting for investments. Entities in which the Company has less than a 20% investment and eXp Realty of Connecticut, LLC. All inter-company accountswhere the Company does not exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method. Intercompany transactions and transactions have beenbalances are eliminated upon consolidation.

Variable interest entities and noncontrolling interests

A company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and must consolidate the entity if the company has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Joint ventures

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Company and other parties undertake an economic activity through a jointly controlled entity. Joint control exists when strategic, financial, and operating policy decisions relating to the activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. Joint ventures are typically included in the Other Affiliated Services unless the joint venture specifically supports one of the reportable segments.

The Company has several joint venture investments. The operations of these joint ventures are not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Use of EstimatesEstimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principlesU.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to provisionsallowance for doubtful accounts,credit losses, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, expense accruals,goodwill, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Reclassifications

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017,When necessary, the Company implemented accounting treatmentwill reclassify certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. Prior year segment and financial statement information has been reclassified to reflect Virbela as promulgateddiscontinued operations.

EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

The Company is still evaluating our lease contracts however, we do not expect material changesexposed to credit losses primarily through trade and other financing receivables arising from revenue transactions. The Company uses the aging schedule method to estimate current expected credit losses (“CECL”) based on days of delinquency, including information about past events and current economic conditions. The Company’s accounts receivable is separated into three categories to evaluate allowance under the CECL impairment model. The receivables in each category share similar risk characteristics. The three categories include agent non-commission based fees, agent short-term advances, and commissions receivable for real estate property settlements.

The Company increases the allowance for expected credits losses when the Company determines all or a portion of a receivable is uncollectable. The Company recognizes recoveries as a decrease to the timingallowance for expected credit losses.

Receivables from real estate property settlements totaled $100,529 and recognition$81,004 of lease expense as a result of adoption of the ASU. This ASU update is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and the interim periods within that year.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The objective of the revenue standard is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to remove inconsistencies in requirements, provide a robust framework, improve comparability across entities and industries, provide more useful information to users and simplify the preparation of financial statements. The Company is still evaluating the potential impacts the new revenue standard may have as a result of adoption of the ASU however, we do not expect the new standard to have a material impact on financial results aswhich the Company recognizes revenue atrecognized expected credit losses of $2 and $-, respectively as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 agent non-commission based fees receivable and short-term advances totaled $7,487 and $7,268, of which the completionCompany recognized expected credit losses of a residential real estate sale transaction, on a gross basis, which will not result in a change in the timing$2,363 and recognition of revenue.

Additionally, if current assumptions and estimates, including projected revenues and income growth rates, terminal growth rates, competitive and consumer trends, market-based discount rates, and other market factors, are not met, or if valuation factors outside of the Company’s control change unfavorably, the estimated fair value of goodwill could be adversely affected, leading to a potential impairment in the future.

Stock Repurchase Plan

In December 2018, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to $25.0 million of its common stock, which was later amended in November 2019 increasing the authorized repurchase amount to $75.0 million. In December 2020, the Board approved another amendment to the repurchase plan, increasing the total amount authorized to be purchased from $75.0 million to $400.0 million. In May 2022,

13

the Board approved an increase to the total amount of its buyback program from $400.0 million to $500.0 million. In June 2023, the Board approved an increase to the total amount of its buyback program from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion.  Purchases under the repurchase program may be made in the open market or through a 10b5-1 plan and are expected to comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing and number of shares repurchased depends upon market conditions. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire a specific number of shares. The cost of the shares that are repurchased is funded from cash and cash equivalents on hand.

10b5-1 Repurchase Plan

The Company maintains a stock repurchase program with program changes subject to Board consent. In June 2023, the Board approved increasing the stock repurchase program to $1.0 billion. From time to time, the Company adopts written trading plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act to conduct repurchases on the open market.

On January 10, 2022, the Company and Stephens Inc. entered into a form of Issuer Repurchase Plan (“Issuer Repurchase Plan”) which authorized Stephens to repurchase common stock of the Company, which is amended from time to time to adjust the monthly repurchase amount. Most recently, on March 6, 2024, the Board approved, and the Company entered into a seventh amendment to the Issuer Repurchase Plan to increase the monthly repurchase to (i) $20.0 million during the calendar months commencing March 1, 2024 through and including April 30, 2024, and (ii) $15.0 million during the calendar months commencing May 1, 2024 through and including December 31, 2024.

For accounting purposes, common stock repurchased under the stock repurchase programs is recorded based upon the settlement date of the applicable trade. Such repurchased shares are held in treasury and are presented using the cost method. These shares are considered issued but not outstanding.

The following table shows the share changes in treasury stock for the periods presented:

8.SEGMENT INFORMATION

The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of services provided by its segments.

Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenue and Adjusted Segment EBITDA. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined by us as a segment’s operating profit (loss) from continuing operations plus depreciation and amortization, litigation contingency and stock-based compensation expenses. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Historically, the Company has reported results for four reportable segments. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company determined that the Virbela segment qualified for reporting as discontinued operations.  In prior years, Virbela represented an operating and reporting segment under ASC 280.  Going forward, the remaining operations of Virbela will not meet the operating or reporting segment criteria, therefore, any operating results related to Virbela technology will be included in the

14

Other Affiliated Services segment.  Prior year segment information has been reclassified to remove Virbela from the segment disclosure, in accordance with discontinued operations treatment.

The Company’s three reportable segments are as follows:

North American Realty: includes real estate brokerage operations in the United States and Canada, as well as lead-generation and other real estate support services provided in North America.
International Realty: includes real estate brokerage operations in all other international locations.
Other Affiliated Services: includes our SUCCESS® Magazine, Frame® technology, and other smaller ventures.

The Company also reports corporate expenses, as further detailed below, as “Corporate and other” which include expenses incurred in connection with business development support provided to the agents as well as resources, including administrative, brokerage operations and legal functions.

All segments follow the same basis of presentation and accounting policies as those described throughout the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. The following table provides information about the Company’s reportable segments and a reconciliation of the total segment Revenues to consolidated Revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA to the consolidated operating profit (loss) from continuing operations and Goodwill (in thousands). Financial information for the comparable prior periods presented have been revised to conform with the current year presentation.

9.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed based on net income attributable to eXp stockholders divided by the basic weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share is computed consistently with the basic computation while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares and common share equivalents that were outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilutive effect of unvested stock awards and unexercised options.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock during the periods presented:

For three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 total outstanding shares of common stock excluded 3,212,244 and 635,343 shares, respectively, from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

10.INCOME TAXES

Our quarterly tax provision is computed by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date pre-tax income or loss plus discrete tax items arising in the period. Our provision for income tax expense (benefit) amounted to ($3.4) million and ($2.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, which represent effective tax rates of positive 18% and 238%, respectively. The provision for income tax benefit was primarily attributable to income(loss) from continuing and discontinuing operations, deductible stock-based compensation shortfalls and research and development credit. The effective tax rate differs from our statutory rates in both periods primarily due to the impact of the stock- based compensation and R&D tax credit.

The Company is subject to a wide variety of tax laws and regulations across the jurisdictions where it operates. Regulatory developments from the U.S. or international tax reform legislation could result in an impact to the Company's effective tax rate. The Company continues to monitor the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Integrated Framework provided by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) including the legislative adoption of Pillar II by countries, and all other tax regulatory changes, to evaluate the potential impact on future periods. The Company does not expect adoption of Pillar Two rules to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements during fiscal year 2024.

11.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the quality and reliability of the information used to estimatedetermine fair values. Categorization within the grant datefair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (these are observable market inputs).
Level 2 – Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability (includes quoted market prices for similar assets or identical or similar assets in markets in which there are few transactions, prices that are not current or prices that vary substantially).
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability (used when little or no market data is available).

The Company holds funds in a money market account, which are considered Level 1 assets. The Company values its money market funds at fair value on a recurring basis.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the awards issued forCompany’s money market funds was $46,665 and $46,268, respectively.

There have been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 include:expected volatility based on historical stock prices ranging from 142%period presented. The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 financial assets or liabilities in the period presented.

12.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to 157%; an average expected term of 6.25 years; risk free rates based on U.S. Treasury instruments for the expected term of approximately 2.2%; and no dividend payments.

In January 2017,time, the Company modified certain termsis subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions that may be asserted against us that could have a material adverse effect on the business, reputation, results of previously outstanding option awardsoperations, cash flows or financial condition. Such litigation includes, but is not limited to, purchase 500,000 sharesactions or claims relating to cyber-attacks, data breaches, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of common stock, including accelerating portions1991 and state consumer protection laws, antitrust and anticompetition, worker classification, timely filing required SEC filings and non-compliance with contractual or other legal obligations.

The Company and its affiliated brokerage entities are among several defendants in eight U.S. and one Canadian putative class action lawsuits alleging that the Company participated in a system that resulted in sellers of residential property paying inflated buyer broker commissions in violation of U.S. federal and state antitrust laws and federal Canadian antitrust laws, as applicable, as discussed further in our 2023 Annual Report and Note 13 – Subsequent Events to these unaudited consolidated financial statements (“antitrust litigation”). As of March 31, 2024, the Company has determined that it is probable that a loss associated with the antitrust litigation has occurred and that the lower boundary of potential loss is reasonably estimable.

Based on an analysis of settlements negotiated by co-defendants companies in similar legal matters and ongoing developments in the antitrust litigation, the Company has recorded a provision for loss of $16.0 million which represents the lower boundary of a reasonably possible range of loss. The high-end range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to the dynamic nature of the awardlawsuit and the contingent nature of possible outcomes. We have determined that it is at least reasonably possible that the loss estimate provision could change in the near term and that such change could be material. This contingent uncertainty highlights the provisional nature of the current loss estimate. Additionally, we cannot provide any assurances that results of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

The Company continues to vest priorvigorously defend against these claims. However, due to the original termscomplexities inherent in such litigation, including the uncertainty of legal processes and potential developments in the forfeiture of unvested options to purchase 275,000 shares of common stock. As a result ofcases, the ultimate liability may differ from the current provision. The Company will reassess this modification, the Company recognized approximately $368,000 ofestimate as additional stock option expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.information becomes available or as circumstances change.

OVERVIEW

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 30, 2008 and launched the first cloud-based real estate brokerage offering agent-centric commission structure, revenue sharing, and agent equity opportunities in 2009. Today, the Company operates a diversified portfolio of service-based businesses whose operations benefit substantially from utilizing our enabling technology platform. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from commissions received by law,our residential real estate brokerages which provide a full suite of brokerage and adjacent services (such as mortgage, title, and content creation) to our real estate agents and brokers. Our residential real estate agents and brokers affiliate their real estate licenses with us and operate their businesses utilizing our cloud-based technology platform to enhance their real estate business and optimize efficiencies. Our enabling and innovative technology platform is a robust suite of cloud-based applications and software services tailored for our real estate agents and brokers and targets business operations such as customer relationship management, marketing, client services, and brokerage functionalities. We succeed when our real estate professionals succeed and we remain focused on being the most agent-centric business on the planet.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, following the discontinuation of Virbela, eXp manages its operations in three operating business segments: North American Realty; International Realty; and Other Affiliated Services. While we do not intendconsider acquisitions a critical element of our ongoing business, we seek opportunities to update anyexpand and enhance our portfolio of solutions and believe we are well-positioned to capture additional revenue from such solutions.

Update Relating to Reportable Segments

In the first quarter of 2024, we determined that there has been a significant change to the Virbela business model. We have begun the process of winding down the Virbela business, which includes closing out current contracts and reducing our external customers.  Further, the technology is being replaced with Virbela Frame® technology that will be initially utilized internally within the Company.  We expect the process to wind down the Virbela business to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2024.  As a result of this change, the Company has determined that Virbela qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations and will be reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Prior year segment and financial statement information containedhas been reclassified to reflect Virbela as discontinued operations. See Note 3 –Discontinued Operations to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the discontinuation of Virbela.

Strategy

Our strategy is to grow organically in North America and certain international markets by increasing our independent agent and broker network. Through our cloud-based operations and technology platform, we strive to achieve customer-focused efficiencies that allow us to increase market share and attain strong returns as we scale our business within the markets in which we operate. By building partnerships and strategically deploying capital, we seek to grow the business and enter attractive verticals and adjacent markets.

The Company’s primary emphasis is on achieving operational excellence for our real estate agents, which we monitor using the aNPS. We remain focused on optimizing our operating costs to match our revenue trends. One critical area of capital deployment during the first quarter of 2024 remained our Sustainable Revenue Share Plan (the “Revenue Share Plan”), whereby we pay real estate professionals affiliated with the Company a portion of eXp Realty’s commission for their contribution to Company growth. Regular evaluations are conducted to ensure the plan’s continued alignment with the Company's overarching objectives and for regulatory compliance.

As detailed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 2, 2017, on July 27, 2017 we entered into a separation agreement and release with Mr. Russell Cofano our former President and General Counsel who resigned on July 28, 2017. A summary of that agreement is contained in Form 8-K, and the agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K.

According to NAR, the National Association of REALTORS (“NAR”) home sale transactions of single family homes volume was projected to increase 10.4% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 as a result of both an increase in the number of home sale transactions, combined with average home sale price growth (preliminary). Also according to NAR,thecomposite housing affordability index has continueddecreased to be at historically favorable levels.103.0 for February 2024 (preliminary) from 109.3 for February 2023. When the index is above 100, it indicates that a family earning the median income has sufficient income to purchase a median-priced home, assuming a 20 percent20% down payment and ability to qualify for a mortgage. The composite housing affordability index was 149.9 for August (preliminary) 2017 and163.7 for 2016. The housing affordability index remains significantly higher than the average of 127 for the period from 1970 through 2016.

The favorable housing affordability index ishas been declining year over year due in part to favorable mortgage rate conditions. Mortgage rates increased approximately 60 basis points from September 30, 2016conditions and higher average home prices driven by constrained inventory levels.

Existing Home Sales Transactions and Prices

According to September 30, 2017, but continue to be at historically low levels. While any increase to mortgage rates can adversely impact housing affordability, we believe that rising wages, improving consumer confidence and continued low inventory levels will result in favorable demand conditions andNAR, existing home sale volume growth.transactions decreased to an annual rate of 4.2 million in March 2024 (preliminary) compared to 4.4 million in March 2023, a decrease of 3.7%.

According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, mortgage rates on commitments for 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate first mortgages averaged 3.88% for 2016 and the rate rose to 4.19% in August 2017. To the extent that mortgage rates increase further, consumers continue to have financing alternatives such as adjustable rate mortgages or shorter term mortgages which can be utilized to obtain a mortgage rate that is lower than a comparable 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.

Partially offsetting the positive impact of low mortgage rates are low housing inventory levels. According to NAR, the inventorynationwide existing home sales average price for March of existing homes for sale2024 (preliminary) was $393,500 compared to $375,300 in March 2023, an increase of 4.8%.

Revenue and adjusted EBITDA are key financial measures, and we review these measures to evaluate and drive our core operating performance.

Agent net promoter score (aNPS)

aNPS is below the 6.1 months 25-year average.

Additional factors offsetting the positive impacta scale-based measure of low mortgage rates include the ongoing risecustomer satisfaction and an aNPS above 50 is considered excellent. aNPS plays a crucial role in home prices,less than favorable mortgage underwriting standardsattracting and some would-be home sellers having limited or negative equity in homes. Mortgage credit conditions tightened significantlyretaining agents and teams, especially during the housing downturn, with banks limiting credit availability to more creditworthy borrowers and requiring larger down payments, stricter appraisal standards, and more extensive mortgage documentation. Although mortgage credit conditions appear to be easing, mortgages remain less available to some borrowers and it frequently takes longer to close a residential transactionperiod marked by market contraction, due to currentlower transaction volumes and higher mortgage and underwriting requirements.

The Company continues to monitor developments in our regulatory environment. Currently, federal officials are discussing various potential changes to laws and regulations that could impactrates. Despite the challenging market conditions, the Company’s businesses, including tax reform that could affect the mortgage interest deductions and state and local tax deductions. Changes in these tax incentives for homeownership, and more generallyaNPS was 73 in the regulatory environmentfirst quarter of 2024 compared to 70 in which the Companyfirst quarter of 2023, due to our continuous investment in agent onboarding, expert care, transaction processing process and technology.

Agent count

One of our customers operate could impactkey strengths is attracting real estate agent and broker professionals that contribute to our growth. The rate of growth of our agent and broker base is difficult to predict and is subject to many factors outside of our control, including actions taken by our competitors and macroeconomic factors affecting the real estate industry in general including rising interest rates and declining transaction volume in the U.S.

The number of mortgage originationsagents declined 2% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the first quarter of 2023, as we continue to off board less productive agents.  However, we are committed to retaining our most productive agents in the United States and Canada through the Company’s competitive positionexecution of our growth strategies and resultsthe end-to-end suite of operations. At this time,services we offer our agents.

Real estate sales transactions and volume

Real estate sales transactions are based on the natureside (buyer or seller) of each real estate transaction and impactare recorded when our agents and brokers represent buyers and/or sellers in the purchase or sale, respectively, of any futurea home. The number of real estate transactions is a key driver of our revenue and profitability. Transaction volume represents the total sales value for all transactions and is influenced by several market factors, including, but not limited to, the pricing and quality of our services and market conditions that affect home sales, such as macroeconomic factors, economic growth, local inventory levels, mortgage interest rates, and seasonality.  

Our real estate sales transactions and volume typically fluctuate with changes is unknown.

Existing Home Sales

According to NAR, forin the year ended December 31, 2016,market’s existing home salesales transactions increased to 5.5 million.as reported by NAR; however, company-specific initiatives influence the transaction volume and productivity of our agents. In the first nine monthsquarter of 2017, NAR existing home sale transactions increased 4.2 million year to date, but decreased 4.3%2024, compared to the same periodfirst quarter of 2016.During the same period, eXp Realty home sale2023, our real estate sales transactions increased 223%5% due to our agents’ productivity, which more than offset the decline in existing home sales in the U.S. as reported by the NAR. Transaction volume increased 12% due to increased transactions and increased home sales prices.

21

Other real estate transactions

Other real estate transactions are recorded for leases, rentals and referrals that are undertaken by our agents and brokers. The increase in other real estate transactions reflects the productivity of our agents and brokers.

Real estate per transaction cost

Real estate per transaction cost is measured as selling, general and administrative, sales and marketing and technology and development expenses resulting from our services that directly support our agents and brokers, divided by total transactions (real estate and other). Real estate per transaction cost increased 6% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to strategic investments in personnel to support increased transaction volumes and agent NPS, and increased severance and employee-related expenses and legal expenses related to the antitrust lawsuits.  

Revenues

Revenues represent the commission revenue earned by the Company for closed brokerage real estate transactions. In the first quarter of 2024, compared to the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s revenue increased due to increased real estate transactions driven by increased agent productivity and higher home sales prices, which more than offset declines in the U.S. real estate markets. Our revenues also increased due to increased international production in previously launched markets.

Operating profit (loss)

The operating loss in the first quarter of 2024 of $18.2 million compared to operating profit of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, reflects the litigation contingency accrual of $16 million, and increased legal expenses related to the antitrust lawsuits, as well as increased severance and employee-related expenses, partially offset by increased revenues, net of agent commissions and other agent-related costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management reviews Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance.Adjusted EBITDA, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $11.0 million compared to $14.6 million at March 31, 2023. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA reflects increased legal expenses related to the antitrust lawsuits, as well as increased severance and employee-related expenses, partially offset by increased revenues, net of agent commissions and other agent-related costs.

Existing Home Sale Price

We believe primary drivers to the long-term demand for housing and the growth of our company to support that demand are housing affordability, the general economic health of the U.S. economy, demographic trends such as population growth, the increase in household formation, mortgage rate levels and mortgage availability,job growth, the inherent benefits of owning a home versus renting and the influence of local housing dynamics of supply versus demand. As of September 30, 2017, we believe that these factors are generally favorable.However, significant changes to one or more of these drivers could cause the demand for housing to slow, negatively affecting all real estate brokerage firms, including eXp Realty. Regardless of whether the housing market continues to grow or slows, eXp Realty expects to adhere to its low-cost, high-engagement model, affording a growing number of agents and brokersother agent-related costs increased income and ownership opportunities while offering a scalable solution to brokerage owners looking to survive and thrive in a wide range of economic conditions.

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. This non-GAAP financial measure, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, is presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our 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.

We define the non-U.S. GAAP financial measure of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to mean net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding other income (expense), income tax benefit (expense), depreciation, amortization, litigation contingency, impairment charges, litigation contingency expenses, stock-based compensation expense and stock option expense. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined as operating profit (loss) from continuing operations plus depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. We believe that Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA provides useful information about our financial performance, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater transparency with respect to a key metric used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We believe that Adjusted Segment EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that otherwise could be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted Segment EBITDA. In particular, we believe the exclusion of stock and stock option expenses, provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our underlying operations and provides better transparency into our results of operations.

We are presenting the non-U.S. GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe this measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our 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) from continuing operations, the closest comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Some of these limitations are that:

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

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income from continuing operations, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods presented:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows generated from our business operations. Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to access certain capital markets, including banks, is necessary to fund our operations and capital expenditures, repurchase our common stock, and meet obligations as they become due. Our cash and cash equivalents balances and cash flows from operations have strengthened primarily due to

transaction volume growth and improved cost leverage over the prior five years, attributable to the expansion of newour independent agent and broker bases as well as entrynetwork and, to new geographical markets.a lesser extent, increased average prices of home sales.

SalesCurrently, our primary use of cash on hand is to sustain and marketing includes costs relatedgrow our business operations, including, but not limited to, lead capture, digitalcommission and print media,revenue share payments to agents and trade shows, inbrokers and cash outflows for operating expenses and dividend payments. In addition, to other promotional materials. The cost increase of approximately $0.67 million was due to increased cost in lead capture and other internet marketing related to our growth in agent and broker headcount for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

Net working capital $3,327,691  $1,988,621 

Our working capitalCompany has no known material cash requirements as of September 30, 2017 increasedMarch 31, 2024, relating to capital expenditures, commitments, or human capital (except as comparedpassthrough commissions to December 31, 2016. Our increased sales volumes, resulting in increased receivablesagents and restrictedbrokers concurrent with settled real estate transactions).

We believe that our existing balances of cash were off-set by corresponding increases in accrued expenses related to commissions payable.

17

The following table presents ourand cash equivalents and cash flows expected to be generated from our operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

  Nine Months ended

  2017  2016  Change 
          
Cash provided by operating activities $2,396,701  $637,881  $1,758,820 
Cash used in investment activities  (849,764)  (281,203)  (568,561)
Cash provided by financing activities  122,773      122,773 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily resulted from the increased volume in our sales transactions and higher commissions receivable. As a result of the increased sales volume, we also incurred higher accrued expenses, specifically commissions payable. If we are successful in our growth plans, which would result in further increases in sales volumes, we expect to generate positive operating cash flows forat least the next twelve months.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our investing activities consisted of additional expenditures related to the on-going development of our internal use software. As we continue to develop and refine our cloud-based platforms, we expect to continue to use our existing cash resources on similar expenditures for the next twelve months.

We generated approximately $0.12 million in cash flows from financing activities primarily related to the completion of our December 31, 2016 private placement and the exercise of 25,000 options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our level of investment in technology, and our rate of growth into new markets.markets, and cash used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Our capital requirements may be affected by factors which we cannot control such as the changes in the residential real estate market, interest rates, and other monetary and fiscal policy changes to the manner in which we currently operate. We anticipate that between our current cash position and cash flow from ongoing operations we have the necessary resources to continue operating our business over the next 12 months. In order to support and achieve our future growth plans, however, we may need or seek advantageously to obtain additional funding through equity or debt financing. We believe that our current operating structure will facilitate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our expected long-term liquidity requirements beyond the next twelve months.

Net Working Capital

DuringNet working capital is calculated as the Company’s total current assets less its total current liabilities. The following table presents our net working capital as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities increased $4.5 million compared to the same period in 2023.  The increase in operating activities was primarily driven by increased customer deposits, partially offset by the decrease in working capital.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in our investing increased primarily due to cash used for investments in our affiliates compared to 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 net cash flows used in financing activities primarily were related to stock repurchases and the payment of cash dividends.

Acquisitions

While we secureddo not consider acquisitions a linecritical element of creditour ongoing business, we seek opportunities to expand and enhance our portfolio of solutions, access new revenue streams, or otherwise complement or accelerate the growth of our existing operations. We may fund acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses with various sources of capital including existing cash balances and cash flow from operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Thecondensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Annual Report, which provides that the Company may borrow up to $500,000. We currently have no borrowings against the linea description of credit facility or any other term loan bank debt. In the event that additional financing is required in the future, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business and results of operations will likely suffer.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There has been no change in our critical accounting policies. There were no changes to critical accounting policies or estimates as previously disclosedreflected in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K forReport. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the year ended December 31, 2016.

Non-GAAP Measurements

AsCritical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of September 30, 2017 we have outstanding options to purchase approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.14 per share, measured using the intrinsic value method. In accordance with US GAAP and Rules and Regulations as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we were unable to retroactively apply the fair value method to awards previously outstanding under the intrinsic value method. In accordance with the intrinsic value method, we are required to re-measure the intrinsic value at each reporting date through the date of exercise or other settlement, while recognizing the applicable changes in the intrinsic value as a component of operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

18

As a public company, we value stock options at their grant date fair value, and recognize the associated compensation cost systematically over the requisite service or performance period, with no consideration given to market changes in the underlying equity instruments or other assumptions used for valuation purposes on the grant date. If we had the ability to reasonably estimate the fair value of options issued at our inception as a private company, all associated expenses would have been recognized in prior periods as the awards vested without giving effect to re-measurement through the date of exercise or expiration.

The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC, and in other public disclosures of financial measures, that are not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, such as EBITDA, omission of non-recurring or infrequent items, and other omissions of non-cash items whether recurring or non-recurring. These measures are derived from methodologies other than in accordance with US GAAP.

We believe that the omission of non-cash income or expense based on fluctuations in the Company’s stock price, which is significantly outside of its control, is more reflective of the key factors that affect our operating performance. Since the equity-linked instruments were issued earlyMD&A included in our existence, and there are no further performance requirements associated with earning the awards, we believe that omitting these fluctuations provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operations and provides better transparency into our results of operations. Our management does not evaluate the Company’s performance, either financial or operational, inclusive of fluctuations in the intrinsic value of the awards issued prior becoming a public company.2023 Annual Report.

Eliminating non-cash fluctuations for awards fully earned in prior periods, has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these omissions either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

·this measure does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
·this measure does not reflect the further issuance of equity and equity-linked instruments based on grant date fair values with continuing performance and service requirements;
·this measure does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for expenditures or contractual commitments.
·

the recognition of significant intrinsic value fluctuations may result in the recognition of net income or losses that are not correlated to our business operations.

The following table represents the impacts of the intrinsic value variances on our results of operations for the periods presented:

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintainManagement is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures as definedthat are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgatedits reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of September 30, 2017, the end of the period covered by this report we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. In making this assessment, management used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in the “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” (2013) set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information was notis accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (as the principal executive officer) and ChiefPrincipal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.disclosures.

The determinationAs of March 31, 2024, an evaluation was conducted by the Company under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer each concluded that ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was based onat the following material weaknessesreasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2024.

Changes in our internal controlInternal Control over financial reporting, whichFinancial Reporting

There were identified and described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and summarized below:

·Failure to properly recognize and measure the fair value of equity and equity-linked awards issued to employees and non-employees.

·Insufficient corporate governance policies.

·Despite the addition of two new independent directors and an independent Audit Committee during 2016, at December 31, 2016, our level of independent director oversight still posed risk of management override and potential fraud.

20

During 2017 through September 30, we continued our remediation activities related to the material weaknesses summarized above, including the following:

In January 2017, we appointed Laurie Hawkes to the Board as an additional independent director, resulting in a majority of independent directors for the first time on the Board. However, Ms. Hawkes resigned as a director, effective August 9, 2017.

In March 2017, we constituted a Compensation Committee which is now comprised of two independent directors. Each of our standing committees, including the Audit Committee, Governance Committee and Compensation Committee, has been specifically charged with certain oversight functions. During 2017 to date, our Board committees have been active.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL

Outside of the remediation activities described above under Controls and Procedures – Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act)that occurred during the periodquarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably believed to be likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time See Note 12 -Commitments and Contingencies and Note 13 –Subsequent Events to time, we are involvedthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in lawsuits, claims, investigations andPart I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding the Company’s legal proceedings, which is incorporated herein by reference. We cannot provide any assurances that arise in the ordinary courseresults of business. There are no matters pending or threatened that we expect tosuch litigation will not have a material adverse impacteffect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Litigation and other legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and adverse resolutions could occur. In addition, litigation and other legal matters, including class action lawsuits, government investigations and regulatory proceedings can be costly to defend and, depending on the class size and claims, could be costly to settle. As such, the Company could incur judgments, penalties, sanctions, fines or enter into settlements of claims with liability that are materially in excess of amounts accrued and these settlements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.flows in any particular period.

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of risks, whether currently known or unknown. For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, please see in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of the 2023 Annual Report. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price. Except for the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of 2023 Annual Report, which are hereby

28

incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report, and the modified risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.  

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters

Adverse outcomes in litigation and regulatory actions against other companies and agents in our industry could adversely impact our financial results.

Adverse outcomes in legal and regulatory actions against other companies, brokers, and agents in the residential and commercial real estate industry may adversely impact the financial condition of the Company and our real estate brokers and agents when those matters relate to business practices shared by the Company, our real estate brokers and agents, or our industry at large. Such matters may include, without limitation, RESPA, Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 and state consumer protection law, antitrust and anticompetition, and worker classification claims. Additionally, if plaintiffs or regulatory bodies are successful in such actions, this may increase the likelihood that similar claims are made against the Company and/or our real estate brokers and agents which claims could result in significant liability and be adverse to our financial results if we or our brokers and agents are unable to distinguish or defend our business practices.

As an example, in the matter of Burnett v. National Association of Realtors (U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri), a “smaller reporting company”federal jury found NAR and certain other remaining brokerage defendants liable for $1.8 billion in damages, which verdict was appealed on October 31, 2023. That same day, the Company, along with other brokerage and non-brokerage defendants, were named as defendants in Gibson v. National Association of Realtors, we are not requiredalleging a similar fact pattern and antitrust violations. Since that time, the Company has been named as a defendant in additional putative class action lawsuits alleging similar fact patterns and antitrust violations. NAR and certain brokerage defendants have settled certain of these lawsuits (which lawsuits remain subject to providefinal court approval), which include both monetary and non-monetary settlement terms. Those settlement terms may impact business practices within the information required by this Item.industry which could adversely impact the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
