reAlpha Tech Corp. Announces Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

By: Newsfile

Dublin, Ohio--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2024) - reAlpha Tech Corp. (NASDAQ: AIRE) ("reAlpha," the "Company," "us," "we" or "our"), a real estate technology company developing and commercializing artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Business Highlights

  • Launched Claire, our generative AI-powered, commission-free home buying platform. Claire's introduction aligns with a major shift in the real estate sector, as the National Association of Realtors ("NAR") agreed to settle their lawsuit for $418 million after they were found to have violated antitrust laws, resulting in inflated fees paid to buy-side agents. This development will result in the standard six percent sales commission payable by sellers to be eliminated.

  • We completed the acquisition of Naamche, Inc. and its Nepal counterpart (collectively, “Naamche”), on May 6, 2024. Naamche is a Nepal-based technology firm focused on developing AI-powered solutions for large industries, including real estate. This acquisition added a talented team of 43 engineers, developers and UI/UX designers, resulting in our full time employee count increasing from 15 to 57.

"We believe that the completion of the Naamche acquisition marked the second quarter of 2024 as the beginning of the ramp up of our acquisition-led growth strategy," said Giri Devanur, Chief Executive Officer of reAlpha. "We are continuously looking for strategic acquisition opportunities that will advance our mission of bringing innovative technologies to the real estate industry. Naamche's acquisition is one of the early steps in this process."

"We intend to capitalize on a significant industry shakeup created by the NAR lawsuit. We launched Claire after the settlement was announced on March 15, 2024. We are focused on continually improving the product and acquiring additional real estate service companies to unlock more potential sources of revenue. We look forward to sharing our growth and developments in the coming quarters, especially after the effects of the NAR settlement take effect on August 17, 2024," concluded Mr. Devanur.

reAlpha intends to continue investing in their technologies to commercialize them to the general public, and to target and acquire companies to fuel growth.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:

  • Revenue was $62,353 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 205% from the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and 13.6% increase year-over-year ("YoY").

  • Cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

  • Net loss was $(1,478,312) for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $(1,147,148), a decrease of 5.4% from the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and 48% decrease YoY.

Outlook for Quarter Ending September 30, 2024

We expect to achieve the following for the quarter ending September 30, 2024:

  • Revenue to grow 140% to 170% from the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

  • Completion of integration of AiChat Pte. Ltd. ("AiChat") (acquired July 2024) and Hyperfast Title, LLC ("Hyperfast") (acquired August 2024) into our business.

Explanatory Notes on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP ("GAAP"), we believe "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Net income per share," both "non-GAAP financial measures", as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Net income per share to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, adjusted to exclude interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and certain charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events.

We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure of Net income per share to our net income, adjusted to exclude provision for depreciation and amortization of certain intangible assets, share-based compensation and certain charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events.
