Executing strategic plan focused on growing and
diversifying the business to deliver value
Created strategic M&A and business
development unit to explore complementary acquisitions in ancillary
businesses and bolster core brokerage business
Building a future-focused company based on a
culture of integrity, connectivity and entrepreneurialism
Douglas Elliman Inc. (“Douglas Elliman” or the “Company”)
(NYSE:DOUG) today announced financial results for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2024.
“I am excited to be leading Douglas Elliman into a new era,”
said Michael S. Liebowitz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Douglas Elliman. “We’re expanding our company culture of
connectivity and entrepreneurialism and executing a clear plan to
grow and diversify the business to deliver long-term value to all
stakeholders. As part of this, we’ve created a strategic M&A
and business development unit to explore complementary acquisitions
in ancillary businesses – such as title, escrow, staging, insurance
brokerage and property management – while remaining opportunistic
in our core brokerage business. In fact, we’re already in
discussions to expand our property management business into
Florida. We’re also analyzing all investments to ensure they hit
our ROI targets. By doing this, we will build Douglas Elliman into
a profitable growth engine for the benefit of our stockholders,
agents, staff and clients.”
Bryant Kirkland, Chief Financial Officer of Douglas Elliman,
added, “Douglas Elliman delivered strong revenue growth this
quarter and year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2023,
along with a meaningful improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. We continue
to lead the industry in reported average sales price per
transaction, reflecting the strength of our luxury markets, our
best-in-class agents, and the gradual stabilization of home
purchasing activity. With fresh perspectives, a strong balance
sheet and an entrepreneurial spirit, we are positioning Douglas
Elliman for long-term success as the real estate market
recovers.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman, Adjusted Net Loss
attributed to Douglas Elliman, and financial measures for the last
twelve months (“LTM”) ended September 30, 2024 (referred to as the
“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) are financial measures not prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”). The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures
are important measures that supplement discussion and analysis of
its results of operations and enhance an understanding of its
operating performance.
The Company believes the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide
investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results
unaffected by differences in capital structures and ages of related
assets among otherwise comparable companies.
Management uses the Non-GAAP Financial Measures as measures to
review and assess operating performance of the Company’s business,
and management does and investors should review both the overall
performance (GAAP net income) and the operating performance (the
Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of the Company’s business. While
management considers the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to be
important, they should be considered in addition to, but not as
substitutes for or superior to, other measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating
income, net income and cash flows from operations. In addition, the
Non-GAAP Financial Measures are susceptible to varying calculations
and the Company’s measurement of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures
may not be comparable to those of other companies. Attached hereto
as Tables 2 and 3 is information relating to the Company’s Non-GAAP
Financial Measures for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023 and the LTM ended September 30, 2024.
