The impact on Douglas Elliman’s previously reported Non-GAAP Financial Results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which were previously included in Tables 2 and 3 of the Company’s press release issued on May 9, 2023, is summarized below. There was no change to Table 4 in the Company’s press release issued on May 9, 2023.

  • Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman has been updated to a loss of $17.6 million from a loss of $14.4 million;
  • Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman’s real estate brokerage segment has been updated to a loss of $13.0 million from a loss of $9.7 million; and
  • Adjusted Net Loss attributed to Douglas Elliman has been updated to $16.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, from $14.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share.

Douglas Elliman’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is being filed shortly and will include these adjustments.

The following is an updated report of Douglas Elliman’s first quarter 2023 results.

GAAP Financial Results

First quarter 2023 revenues were $214.0 million, compared to revenues of $308.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. The Company recorded an operating loss of $23.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to operating income of $7.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. Net loss attributed to Douglas Elliman for the first quarter of 2023 was $17.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $6.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments for stock-based compensation, equity in (losses) earnings from equity method investments and other, net (for purposes of Adjusted EBITDA). Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the last twelve months ended March 31, 2023 are included in Tables 2, 3 and 4.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022

Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman (as described in Table 2 attached hereto) were a loss of $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to income of $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman’s real estate brokerage segment (as described in Table 2 attached hereto) were a loss of $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to income of $17.7 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Net Loss attributed to Douglas Elliman (as described in Table 3 attached hereto) was $16.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to Adjusted Net Income attributed to Douglas Elliman of $6.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022.

Gross Transaction Value

For the first quarter of 2023, Douglas Elliman’s brokerage segment achieved gross transaction value of approximately $7.3 billion, compared to approximately $11.7 billion for the first quarter of 2022. For the last twelve months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, Douglas Elliman’s brokerage segment achieved gross transaction value of approximately $38.6 billion and $42.9 billion, respectively. For the last twelve months ended March 31, 2023, Douglas Elliman’s brokerage segment reported an average price per transaction of $1.608 million.

Consolidated Balance Sheet

Douglas Elliman maintained a strong balance sheet with cash and cash equivalents of $123.7 million at March 31, 2023. This significant liquidity places the Company in a position of strength in the market.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman and Adjusted Net Income attributed to Douglas Elliman (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, 3 and 4 is information relating to the Company’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the last twelve months ended March 31, 2023.
