Total agent count separations and additions reflect a decision more often than not made by individual agent team leaders, rather than decisions made by the Company.

Compass & Redfin Partnership: Since launching Coming Soons on Redfin in late Q1 2026, our agents have received more than 60,000 leads from Rocket-Redfin, and Compass has delivered more than 20,000 Coming Soon listings to Redfin. In
Platform: Our end-to-end proprietary technology platform, branded "Home", is the only fully-connected platform in the industry built for real estate professionals. From first contact to close, it brings together everything real estate professionals need to grow their business, work more efficiently, and deliver a client experience that sets them apart. In July, the platform was released to over 4,000 agents at non-Compass brokerage brands and by the end of September, nearly 50,000 new agents are expected to have access to the platform, with plans to roll out the platform to our franchise network starting in Q1 2027.
- Product highlights include:
- AI Assistant: Our integrated AI Assistant was broadly demoed in early July, and enables more than 90 platform tools to be accessed through natural language prompts. Early user behavior shows the AI Assistant is driving deeper engagement with the platform, with a significant increase in the number of tools called per agent, and approximately 15,000 agents generating over 97,000 conversations.
- Compass One: The industry's premier all-in-one client dashboard designed to connect buyers and sellers with their real estate professional and provide 24/7 transparency is experiencing increased engagement with
35% of all closed home sale transactions in Q2 2026 going through the Compass One experience, up from25.8% in Q2 2025 on a pro forma basis and up from31.5% in Q1 2026. - Structural Advantage Tools: A set of proprietary platform features that help our real estate professionals surface unique inventory and differentiate themselves in the market continues to see strong engagement.
- Reverse Prospecting: Allows our listing professionals to surface agents who have buyers that have shown interest in their property through saved searches, collections, direct views, and other engagement statistics. Since launch, more than 24,700 agents have used the tool, including 11,400 in Q2 2026, a
7% increase compared to Q1 2026. - Network Tool: Lets our listing real estate professionals surface other real estate professionals in an area to find the right buyers for their property. Year-to-date (as of the end of Q2) over 12,000 real estate professionals have used the tool. Over time, we believe this feature will help our agents match buyers and sellers more effectively.
- Make-Me-Sell: Lets homeowners share an aspirational price with their agent that would compel them to move. At the end of Q2 2026, there were more than 26,000 make-me-sell entries in the platform, up from approximately 24,700 at the end of Q1 2026. This passive inventory is exclusively available to agents on the platform.
- Buyer Demand Tool: Provides real estate professionals with real-time insights into how many buyers are searching for properties at specific price points before going into a listing appointment. Since launch, over 11,000 real estate professionals have engaged with the tool. We believe this feature will help our real estate professionals win more listings and efficiently target buyers for their listings.
- Reverse Prospecting: Allows our listing professionals to surface agents who have buyers that have shown interest in their property through saved searches, collections, direct views, and other engagement statistics. Since launch, more than 24,700 agents have used the tool, including 11,400 in Q2 2026, a
Q3 2026 Outlook:
- Revenue of
to$3.85 billion for Q3$4.05 billion - Adjusted EBITDA of
to$275 million for Q3$305 million
Full Year 2026 Outlook:
- Non-GAAP OPEX of
to$2.75 billion , reflecting an increase from the prior range of$2.80 billion to$2.70 billion . Included in the range is$2.75 billion of OPEX from M&A closed in July and$35 million of realized OPEX synergies.$150 million - Free cash flow positive for the full year 2026.
We have not reconciled our outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) because certain expenses excluded from GAAP net income (loss) when calculating Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Additionally, we have not reconciled our guidance for non-GAAP OPEX to GAAP OPEX because certain expenses excluded from GAAP OPEX cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, reconciliations are not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP OPEX and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures ("Non-GAAP Financial Measures"), in this press release. We use Non-GAAP Financial Measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We believe Non-GAAP Financial Measures are also helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties because they can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods. Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools. Therefore, you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Non-GAAP Financial Measures alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss attributable to Compass, Inc., GAAP OPEX, operating cash flows and our other GAAP measures. In evaluating Non-GAAP Financial Measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments reflected in this press release. Our presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP and the use of these terms vary from others in our industry. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.
