DUBLIN, Ohio, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- reAlpha Tech Corp. (Nasdaq: AIRE) (the "Company" or "reAlpha"), a real estate technology company developing and commercializing artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Financial Highlights:
-- Revenue increased 4,432% to $925,635 in the first quarter of 2025,
compared to $20,426 in the first quarter of 2024.
-- Cash was approximately $1.2 million as of the first quarter of 2025,
compared to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2024.
-- Net loss was approximately $2.85 million in the first quarter of 2025,
compared to a net loss of approximately $1.41 million in the first
quarter of 2024, which increase in net loss was mainly due to increased
operating expenses resulting from the integration of the Company's recent
acquisitions. While the Company reported a higher net loss year-over-year,
the net profit margin increased from approximately (6,947)% to (309)%
year-over-year, due to increased operating efficiency across the business
and integration of recent acquisitions.
-- Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $(1.96) million in the first quarter of
2025, compared to approximately $(1.34) million in the first quarter of
2024.
Piyush Phadke, Chief Financial Officer of reAlpha, commented, "Our progress in the first quarter of 2025 is a definite step in the right direction and further corroborates the positive trend in revenue growth and EBITDA margins reflected in our 2024 annual report." He further added, "We believe that by combining AI-driven technology with strategic acquisitions in real estate services, we have driven strong revenue growth and are building a scalable platform aimed at making homeownership more affordable. We intend to carry this momentum forward throughout the year."
Business Highlights
-- Launched several tools to enhance operational efficiency and customer
experience, including the rollout of a comprehensive internal lead
tracking system and the launch of a new public-facing website for Be My
Neighbor, one of the Company's subsidiaries.
-- Appointed Piyush Phadke as Chief Financial Officer and Vijay Rathna as
Chief Crypto Officer.
-- Announced the acquisition of GTG Financial, Inc. ("GTG"), a mortgage
brokerage founded by a U.S. marine in 2017 and licensed in seven U.S.
states. GTG's acquisition complements the Company's acquisition of Be My
Neighbor in 2024 and highlights the Company's focus on the mortgage
brokerage market. From the date of acquisition to the end of the first
quarter of 2025, GTG contributed to originating 36 mortgages for a total
loan volume of approximately $22.4 million since its acquisition by the
Company in the first quarter of 2025.
-- Secured a $5 million media-for-equity investment from Mercurius Media
Capital LP on March 10, 2025, which is providing the Company with access
to significant marketing exposure while preserving cash. One of the
active campaigns is promoting the reAlpha platform on Willow TV across
all 50 U.S. states.

Explanatory Notes on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement reAlpha's financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), reAlpha believes "Adjusted EBITDA," a "non- U.S. GAAP financial measure", as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, is useful in evaluating reAlpha's operating performance. reAlpha uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate reAlpha's ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. reAlpha believes that Adjusted EBITDA may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in reAlpha's industry, may calculate similarly titled non-U.S. GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of reAlpha's non-U.S. GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non- U.S. GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate reAlpha's business.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, a non- U.S. GAAP financial measure, to evaluate our operating performance and facilitate comparisons across periods and with peer companies. We reconcile our Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and other non-cash, non-operating, or non-recurring items that we believe are not indicative of our core business operations. We believe this measure provides useful insight into our ongoing performance; however, it should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented below:
