eXp World Holdings grew revenue 7% to $1.3 billion and reported net income of $3.5 million ($0.02 diluted). Adjusted EBITDA of $17.7 million, adjusted operating costs of $82.2 million, and cash and equivalents of $112.8 million provide a clear snapshot of near‑term financial position.

Operational signals were mixed: agent count fell 2% to 83,446, while transactions rose 3% to 121,516 and sales volume rose 7% to $54.1 billion. Management returned $24.1 million to shareholders via repurchases and dividends, including a paid dividend of $0.05 and a declared $0.05 for the fourth quarter.

Key dependencies and risks include agent retention trends and the company’s ability to convert higher volume into sustained margin expansion. Watch quarterly agent counts and aNPS changes, quarterly adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating cash flow of $45.4 million, and the scheduled dividend payment on December 1, 2025 with record date November 17, 2025 over the next one to two quarters.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to adjusted operating costs, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted operating cash flow which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. These measures are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s 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.

The Company’s non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information about financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management for financial and operational decision-making. These measures may also provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in the industry.

• Adjusted operating costs helps the reader understand the trends in our general, administrative, technology and other costs. The Company defines adjusted operating costs as operating costs excluding commissions and other agent-related costs and the litigation contingency.
• Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in the business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses excluded in adjusted EBITDA. In particular, the Company believes the exclusion of stock-based compensation and stock option expenses provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of operations and provides better transparency into results of operations. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA to mean net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding other income (expense), income tax benefit (expense), depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, litigation contingency expenses, stock-based compensation expense, stock option expense and other items not core to the operating activities of the Company.
• Adjusted operating cash flow helps the reader understand the Company’s cash flow. The Company defines the adjusted operating cash flow to mean net cash provided by operating activities, excluding the change in customer deposits.
  

Adjusted operating costs, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted operating cash flow should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
