Fathom Holdings Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

– Company increases revenue by 24% year over year –, /PRNewswire/ -- Fathom Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: FTHM) ("Fathom" or the "Company"), a national, technology-driven, end-to-end real estate services platform integrating residential brokerage, mortgage, title, and SaaS offerings for brokerages and agents, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. Fathom 4Q24 results "While Fathom achieved a 24% year-over-year revenue increase and saw core business gross profit rise by an encouraging 59%, the fourth quarter reflected ongoing challenges in the residential real estate market," said Marco Fregenal, CEO of Fathom Holdings. "Persistent headwinds, particularly the unexpected rise in interest rates in Q4 following the Fed rate reduction, along with one-time expenses of $1.3 million, negatively impacted both net loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss." "We expect 2025 to remain challenging for the real estate industry; however, we see meaningful improvement ahead and are encouraged about our prospects of reaching EBITDA positive in Q2 of 2025, driven by increased revenues from our acquisition of My Home Group and smaller brokerage walkovers, as well as anticipated cost reductions of over $2 million on an annualized basis," Fregenal continued. "We aim to return to our historical 25% annual revenue growth, supported by anticipated higher gross profit from ancillary services, targeted recruitment, and ongoing innovation across our brokerage model, mortgage offerings, and title services. Our mission remains steadfast: to build a best-in-class, technology-driven platform that empowers agents, streamlines transactions, and delivers long-term value for our shareholders. We are confident these efforts will foster ongoing success, even in a dynamic market environment."

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED) (In thousands) Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net loss $ (6,200) $ (8,439) $ (21,577) $ (23,981) Gain on sale of business - - (2,958) - Stock based compensation 1,721 3,668 8,839 12,994 Depreciation and amortization 1,374 1,482 5,423 5,947 Litigation contingency 54 - 3,491 - Other expense, net 1,202 248 2,094 580 Other non-cash items and transaction costs - 1 - 201 Income tax expense (benefit) (1,050) 94 (1,022) 148 Adjusted EBITDA $ (2,899) $ (2,946) $ (5,710) $ (4,111) Note about Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement Fathom's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. This non-GAAP financial measure, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, is presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.Fathom defines the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding other income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and transaction-related cost.Fathom believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the Company's financial performance, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to a key metric used by Fathom's management for financial and operational decision-making. Fathom believes that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in its business that otherwise could be masked by the effect of the expenses that the Company excludes in Adjusted EBITDA. In particular, Fathom believes the exclusion of share-based compensation expense and transaction-related costs associated with the Company's acquisition activity, provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of its operations and provides better transparency into its results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes other income and expense, net which primarily includes nonrecurring items, such as, minor legal settlement claims, severance costs, professional fees related to investigating potential financing opportunities, if applicable, and other non-cash items representing reserves on certain agent fee collections.Fathom is presenting the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA to assist investors in seeing its financial performance through the eyes of management, and because the Company believes this measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing Fathom's core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in its industry.Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA compared to net income (loss), the closest comparable GAAP measure. Some of these limitations are that: Adjusted EBITDA excludes share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards and stock options, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring expenses in Fathom's business and an important part of its compensation strategy; Adjusted EBITDA excludes transaction-related costs primarily consisting of professional fees and any other costs incurred directly related to acquisition activity, which is an ongoing part of Fathom's growth strategy and therefore likely to occur; and Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and capitalized software, and acquisition related intangible asset costs, however, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future.
