Reliance Global Group Reflects on a Transformative Year and Looks Ahead to 2025

 

OneFirm Approach Delivering Results - Drives Increased Revenue, Reduced Expenses, and Growing EBITDA

 

Spetner Acquisition Nears Final Stages, Strengthening Company’s Future Prospects

 

LAKEWOOD, N.J., December 23, 2024 — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”) today provided a year-end review of its operations, as well as a look to the future.

 

Ezra Beyman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Reliance commented, “2024 has been a transformative year for Reliance. During this pivotal period, we initiated the Company’s transformation to the RELI Exchange OneFirm approach, establishing a unified platform that has greatly enhanced operational efficiency across all areas of our business. We are confident that this integrated strategy has positioned us for sustainable growth and long-term value creation. The impact is clear - the OneFirm approach has driven revenue growth, reduced expenses, and strengthened EBITDA, with our Q3 2024 performance showing significant improvements directly linked to this strategic initiative.”

 

“We are pleased to report that the planned Spetner acquisition is in its final stages and on track for completion in early 2025. Since announcing the transaction, Spetner’s BenManage voluntary benefit insurance segment has experienced remarkable growth, expanding coverage from 45,000 employees to over 85,000, reinforcing our confidence in the business’s long-term potential. Upon completion, the acquisition is expected to nearly double our annual revenue to approximately $28 million while significantly boosting our Adjusted EBITDA. Reaching this critical milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to executing strategic initiatives that fuel expansion, enhance profitability, and create long-term value for our shareholders. We look forward to integrating Spetner’s operations and leveraging its strengths to drive future growth and operational excellence.”

 

“Looking ahead, we anticipate sharing additional positive updates early in the new year as we continue making progress toward our corporate goals. With the OneFirm transformation well underway and the Spetner acquisition nearing completion, we believe we are well-positioned to realize our vision of building a multi-billion dollar, highly profitable enterprise through strategic expansion, innovation, and disciplined fiscal management. We remain confident that our focused approach will continue driving meaningful results, delivering long-term value for our shareholders and stakeholders alike.”
