Management said luxury buyers appeared increasingly willing to look beyond elevated mortgage rates and the macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty seen earlier in 2026. July cash receipts from existing-home sales increased another 8% year over year. Weighted-average receipts for May through July increased 13%, led by Florida, the Hamptons, Texas, Nevada and Boston. Revenue growth was led by a $28.2 million increase in existing-home-sale revenues in Florida and a $3.4 million increase in the Northeast excluding New York City. Development Marketing revenues increased $4.2 million, driven by Florida and Texas. These gains were partly offset by decreases of $7.2 million in the West, primarily Colorado and California, and $6.5 million in New York City. Profitability also benefited from lower overhead. General and administrative expenses declined 32% to $17.8 million, helping the operating loss narrow to $3.4 million from $5.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $986,000 from $3.6 million. The sharp improvement in GAAP net loss also reflected the absence of a roughly $17 million noncash expense recorded a year earlier related to the fair value of derivatives embedded in convertible debt that was retired in October 2025. Douglas Elliman did not provide specific revenue or earnings guidance. Management said its AI transformation is expected to gradually generate significant savings in non-commission operating expenses over the next three years. The initiative includes a company-wide technology modernization using Google Cloud and the development of Elius, a proprietary real estate intelligence business. During the quarter, Douglas Elliman expanded into Paris, New Hampshire and Georgetown and launched Elliman Capital in California through a strategic relationship with Mark Cohen and Cohen Financial Group. Separately, effective Jan. 1, 2026, DOUG acquired the remaining ownership interest in Real Estate Associates of Houston LLC for $100,000, giving it full ownership.

Cash receipts rose 16% in June and 8% in July from their respective 2025 levels. Across the three months from May through July, weighted average cash receipts from existing-home sales increased 13% from the comparable 2025 period, led by Florida, the Hamptons, Texas, Nevada and Boston, Kirkland said. → 4 Oil and Gas ETF Plays as Prices Stay Sky-High “Despite elevated mortgage rates, our luxury home buyers are beginning to look past the macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that were present in early 2026,” Kirkland said. The company’s average price per transaction was approximately $1.9 million through the first six months of 2026, consistent with the prior-year period. Its last-12-month average price per transaction was $1.85 million, up from $1.77 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, Douglas Elliman reported revenue of $497.8 million, down from $524.8 million a year earlier. Excluding the former property management operation, revenue declined 1.4% from $504.8 million in the 2025 period. Kirkland noted that the comparison was affected by an unusually strong first quarter in 2025. Net loss for the first half was $19 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared with a $28.7 million loss, or $0.34 per diluted share, a year earlier. The prior-year result included a $17.7 million non-cash charge associated with convertible debt that was retired in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $11.4 million for the six-month period from $4.5 million a year earlier. Adjusted net loss was $16.3 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with $11.6 million, or $0.14 per share, in the prior-year period. President and CEO Michael Liebowitz said Douglas Elliman launched an artificial intelligence transformation initiative during the period. The effort has two components: a company-wide modernization of its technology infrastructure using agentic AI powered by Google Cloud, and the development of Elius, a newly formed intelligence company intended to build products and potential new revenue streams from the brokerage’s proprietary luxury real estate data. Liebowitz said the Google Cloud program is intended to automate routine workflows and consolidate the company’s technology stack. The company expects the effort to begin gradually producing meaningful savings in non-commission operating expenses in 2027. Douglas Elliman expects to fund the initial Google Cloud rollout and Elius development work from existing resources, with what Liebowitz described as a modest net incremental investment because a substantial portion of the spending will replace existing technology expenditures. The company also expanded its international network into Paris in June, bringing its French network to 15 offices across France, Monaco and St. Barts. In the U.S., it launched Elliman Capital in California through a partnership with Mark Cohen and Cohen Financial Group, and expanded the lending platform into Texas, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and Austin markets. The company’s development marketing division had approximately $26.1 billion in gross transaction value among actively marketed projects as of June 30, including about $18.9 billion in Florida. Douglas Elliman also cited another $9.7 billion in gross transaction value expected to come to market through September 2027. The company said commissions from these development projects are generally expected to be recognized when transactions close, with closings anticipated between 2026 and 2032. Douglas Elliman ended June with $105 million in cash and had $121 million in cash and cash equivalents as of July 31. The July increase included a net $13 million receipt from the settlement of a stockholder derivative action lawsuit. Liebowitz said the company’s cash position and recent trend in cash receipts leave it positioned for the second half of 2026 and beyond.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL POSITION Douglas Elliman maintained a robust balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $105.2 million and no long-term debt. This financial profile affords the Company significant strategic flexibility to pursue organic growth, accretive talent acquisition, technology investment, and opportunistic market expansion initiatives. OUTLOOK The Company enters the second half of 2026 with a strengthened foundation: a strong capital position, a development marketing pipeline of approximately $26.1 billion (including $18.9 billion in Florida alone) with another $9.7 billion scheduled to come to market through September 30, 2027 and an AI transformation that is underway and that is expected to gradually lead to significant savings in non-commission operating expenses over the next three years. Douglas Elliman remains focused on maintaining leadership in luxury residential real estate through superior agent talent, global market presence, and a brand that commands the industry's highest average sales price. Management is executing against this objective with discipline and believes the platform is now well positioned to deliver long-term stockholder value. STRATEGIC GROWTH INITIATIVES Douglas Elliman sees opportunities to extend the Company's luxury leadership and accelerate long-term stockholder value creation. Technology and AI Investment Douglas Elliman recently announced the launch of a company-wide technology infrastructure transformation to support its evolution into a technology-forward real estate brokerage. The effort is designed to fundamentally change how Douglas Elliman operates to improve efficiency, enhance the agent advisor and client experience, and reshape its long-term cost structure. Concurrently, the Company is launching Elius, a newly formed intelligence company positioned to build proprietary real estate intelligence capabilities beyond traditional brokerage. Elius is designed to power a new generation of intelligent real estate experiences, products, and services that move beyond today's search and portal-based models by anticipating opportunities, surfacing insights earlier, and delivering guidance that today's static platforms cannot. The transformation follows two parallel tracks to reset Douglas Elliman's non-commission-based cost structure across business units while building a proprietary intelligence business under the name Elius. Both tracks are enabled by Google Cloud technology, including its AI models and enterprise infrastructure, which the Company has selected to power its transformation. Footprint Expansion and Talent Recruitment Since 2025, Douglas Elliman entered new international markets in Canada, France, Monaco, and the Caribbean, extending the Company's geographic reach to serve affluent and ultra-high-net-worth clients across the world's most coveted luxury real estate destinations. Most recently, in June, the Company expanded into Paris, bringing its French network to fifteen offices across France, Monaco, and Saint-Barthélemy. In addition, Douglas Elliman continues to extend its domestic footprint across several luxury markets. In the second quarter, the Company expanded into New Hampshire and opened a new Georgetown office — its fourth in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Company also added high level agents in key markets during the quarter and continues to have a strong recruiting pipeline. Elliman Capital Elliman Capital continued to expand in the second quarter. In May, the Company launched in California through a strategic relationship with Mark Cohen and Cohen Financial Group, bringing a full suite of lending solutions to agents and clients across Greater Los Angeles. In July, the platform extended into Texas, with dedicated loan officers serving agents across Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman Inc., Adjusted Net Loss attributed to Douglas Elliman Inc. and financial measures for the last twelve months ("LTM") ended June 30, 2026 (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 the operating performance of the Company’s business, and management does, and investors should review both the overall performance (GAAP net income (loss)) 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 (loss), net income (loss) 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 six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the LTM ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.

GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with DOUG. Is DOUG fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Release Date: August 07, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Douglas Elliman Inc (NYSE:DOUG) reported a significant narrowing of net loss in Q2 2026 to $2.7 million from $22.7 million in the prior-year period, driven by improved operational performance and the absence of non-cash interest expenses. The company saw a strong rebound in existing home sales cash receipts, with May and June 2026 up 15% and 16% year-over-year, respectively, and July 2026 up 8%, indicating improving market momentum. Douglas Elliman Inc (NYSE:DOUG) maintains a robust balance sheet with no long-term debt and over $100 million in cash, providing financial flexibility to fund strategic initiatives. The company is executing a transformative AI strategy, including the launch of 'Elias' to monetize proprietary luxury real estate data and a Google Cloud partnership to automate workflows and reduce non-commissioned operating expenses starting in 2027. International expansion is progressing, with a new office in Paris and the extension of Element Capital into California and Texas, broadening the company's revenue streams beyond traditional brokerage commissions. The development marketing division has a strong pipeline of approximately $26.1 billion in gross transaction value, with an additional $9.7 billion expected to come to market by September 2027, positioning for future commission income. Douglas Elliman Inc (NYSE:DOUG) still reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $986,000 in Q2 2026, indicating ongoing operational challenges despite improvement. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenues declined by 1.4% year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $11.4 million from $4.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting a difficult first quarter. The company's AI transformation and international expansion require significant investment, with only modest net incremental savings expected initially, which could pressure near-term profitability. Elevated mortgage rates and macroeconomic uncertainties continue to weigh on the housing market, as evidenced by the slower start to 2026 and the need for a rebound in May and June. The company's net loss for the first half of 2026 was $19 million, and adjusted net loss per share was $0.19, indicating that profitability remains elusive. The reliance on luxury homebuyers, who are beginning to look past uncertainties, may not be sustainable if economic conditions deteriorate, posing a risk to future revenue growth. Q: What is the company's AI transformation strategy, and how will it impact operations and finances?A: Michael Liebowitz (President and CEO) explained that the AI transformation is a fundamental redesign of operations, not just a technology upgrade. It operates on two tracks: a company-wide modernization using agentic AI powered by Google Cloud to automate workflows and achieve meaningful savings in non-commissioned operating expenses starting in 2027, and the build-out of Elias, a new intelligence company designed to monetize proprietary luxury real estate data into new products and revenue streams. The initiative is self-funded from a position of financial strength with no long-term debt and over $100 million in cash. Q: What were the key financial results for the second quarter of 2026?A: Bryant Kirkland (CFO) reported revenues of $283.4 million, up from $271.4 million in Q2 2025. Excluding the disposed property management business, revenues increased 8.6% year-over-year. Net loss narrowed significantly to $2.7 million ($0.03 per share) from $22.7 million ($0.27 per share) in the prior year period, which had included a $17 million non-cash interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $986,000 from a $3.6 million loss, and adjusted net loss was $3.9 million ($0.05 per share) versus $7.3 million ($0.09 per share) in 2025. Q: How is the company's cash position and balance sheet strength supporting its growth plans?A: Bryant Kirkland (CFO) highlighted that the company had $105 million in cash at June 30, 2026, and $121 million at July 31, 2026, following a $13 million net receipt from a stockholder derivative action lawsuit settlement. This strong balance sheet, with no long-term debt, provides a competitive advantage to fund the AI transformation, scale operations, and strengthen the services platform without external financing. Q: What is the current trend in home sales and market momentum?A: Bryant Kirkland (CFO) noted that beginning in May 2026, the company saw positive momentum with cash receipts from existing home sales up 15% and 16% in May and June, respectively, compared to the prior year. This momentum continued into July with an 8% increase. The weighted average increase for May through July was 13%, led by Florida, the Hamptons, Texas, Nevada, and Boston, indicating luxury homebuyers are looking past macroeconomic uncertainties despite elevated mortgage rates. Q: What is the status of the company's international expansion and Element Capital growth?A: Michael Liebowitz (President and CEO) detailed the June expansion into Paris, bringing the French network to 15 offices across France, Monaco, and St. Barts. Additionally, Element Capital launched in California in May through a partnership with Mark Cohn and Cohn Financial Group, and extended into Texas in June with dedicated teams serving Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin. These expansions deepen client relationships and create revenue opportunities beyond commissions. Q: What is the size and outlook for the development marketing division?A: Bryant Kirkland (CFO) stated that the development marketing division remains the preeminent industry player with an actively marketed project pipeline of approximately $26.1 billion in gross transaction value, with $18.9 billion in Florida alone. An additional $9.7 billion in gross transaction value is expected to come to market through September 2027. Commission income from these projects is generally expected to be recognized between 2026 and 2032. Q: How did the first half of 2026 compare to the prior year, and what were the key drivers?A: Bryant Kirkland (CFO) reported that for the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenues were $497.8 million, down 1.4% from $504.8 million in the 2025 period, which was impacted by an unusually strong first quarter of 2025. Net loss improved to $19 million ($0.22 per share) from $28.7 million ($0.34 per share) in 2025, which included a $17.7 million non-cash charge. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $11.4 million versus a $4.5 million loss in 2025, and adjusted net loss was $16.3 million ($0.19 per share) compared to $11.6 million ($0.14 per share). Q: What is the average price per transaction, and how does it reflect the company's luxury positioning?A: Bryant Kirkland (CFO) noted that the industry-best average price per transaction for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was consistent with the 2025 year-to-date period at approximately $1.9 million per home sale. For the last 12 months, the average price per transaction was $1.85 million, up from $1.77 million for the 12 months ended June 2025, reinforcing the company's focus on the luxury market segment. Q: What recent talent and market expansion achievements have been made?A: Michael Liebowitz (President and CEO) highlighted the addition of a Georgetown office (the fourth in the Mid-Atlantic), expansion into New Hampshire, and high-level agent recruitment in key markets. Additionally, 29 Douglas Elliman agents and teams were recognized in the Real Trends Verified Plus the Thousand rankings across California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, the Hamptons, and New York City, demonstrating the firm's continued appeal as a destination for top luxury agents. Q: How is the company funding the AI transformation and Elias development?A: Michael Liebowitz (President and CEO) clarified that the initial Google Cloud rollout and Elias discovery and development work will be funded through existing resources with a modest net incremental investment, as a substantial portion of the spending replaces existing technology expenditures. This disciplined, self-funded approach ensures the company can pursue its transformation without taking on additional debt or diluting shareholders.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript

Earnings source - 26 paragraphs
Operator

Welcome to Douglas Elliman's second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. This call is being recorded and is simultaneously webcast. An archived version of the webcast will be available on the investor relations section of the company's website, located at investors.elliman.com for one year. I would like to turn the conference over to Douglas Elliman's Vice President of Finance, Heather Capriola.

Heather Capriola

Thank you. Good morning. On the call with me today is Michael Liebowitz, President and CEO of Douglas Elliman Inc., and Bryant Kirkland, CFO of Douglas Elliman Inc. During this call, the terms adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss will be used, as well as last 12 months or LTM metrics. These terms are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are contained in the company's earnings release, which has been posted to the investor relations section of the company's website. Before the call begins, I would like to read a safe harbor statement.

Heather Capriola

The statements made during this conference call that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. These risks are described in more detail in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Any forward-looking statements made during this call are made as of today, and the company undertakes no duty to update or revise any such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. I would like to turn the call over to the Chief Executive Officer of Douglas Elliman, Michael S. Liebowitz.

Michael Liebowitz

Thank you, Heather. Good morning. Thank you for joining us. On today's call, we will discuss the current operating environment and Douglas Elliman's financial results for the three and six months ended June 30th, 2026. All numbers presented this morning will be as of June 30th, 2026, unless otherwise stated. Before we turn it to our second quarter 2026 results, I would like to begin by summarizing some of our recent accomplishments that I believe speak directly to the strong future, vision, and momentum of this company. First and foremost, last month, we announced the launch of our AI transformation. I want to be clear about what this launch is and what it is not. This is not simply a technology upgrade. This is a fundamental redesign of how Douglas Elliman operates and, more importantly, how we create value.

Michael Liebowitz

For generations, residential real estate has been organized around the transaction, and for just as long, the data that those transactions generate has been monetized by nearly everyone except the brokerages that created it. Third-party portals and platforms built billion-dollar businesses on the back of data that our agents and our clients produced. We are changing that model. Our AI transformation is being conducted on two parallel tracks. The first is a company-wide modernization of our technology infrastructure using agentic AI powered by Google Cloud to automate routine workflows, consolidate our technology stack, and beginning in 2027, gradually achieve meaningful savings in our non-commission operating expenses. This is not aspirational. We are already in this execution. The second track is the build-out of Elius, our newly formed intelligence company.

Michael Liebowitz

Elius is designed to take Douglas Elliman's proprietary luxury real estate data and build a platform with the potential to generate new products, new revenue streams, and entirely new businesses beyond brokerage. Our AI transformation is in early stages, but we are excited about where this technology can take us. Equally important, we are pursuing it from a position of financial strength with no long-term debt and over $100 million in cash. Bryant will provide more detail on our financial position later in the call. This is a disciplined, self-funded pursuit. We expect to fund this initial Google Cloud rollout and Elius discovery and development work through existing resources with a modest net incremental investment as a substantial portion of the spending replaces our existing technology expenditures.

Michael Liebowitz

Moving on to our international pipeline, which continues to build and represents one of the most exciting growth opportunities in front of us. In June, we expanded into Paris, bringing our French network to 15 offices across France, Monaco, and St. Barts. The Paris launch marks the next phase of our international growth strategy and positions the firm in one of the world's most closely watched and coveted residential property markets. We believe we are in the early stages of what Elliman International can become. We also continued meaningful expansion of Elliman Capital in the second quarter. In May, we launched Elliman Capital in California through a strategic partnership with Mark Cohen and Cohen Financial Group, bringing our full suite of lending solutions, conventional and jumbo loans, construction financing, commercial lending, bridge loans, FHA, VA, and more to agents and clients across Greater Los Angeles.

Michael Liebowitz

Last month, we extended the platform into Texas with dedicated loan officers serving agents across Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin, respectfully. In both markets, the platform provides clients with competitive rates, fast approvals, and the expert guidance of our experienced mortgage professionals, all under the Douglas Elliman umbrella. Each expansion deepens the client relationship across the full transaction and is a revenue opportunity beyond the commission.

Michael Liebowitz

When I look at the talent we are bringing into this company, I am reminded of why Douglas Elliman remains the destination of choice for the best luxury agents in the business. In the second quarter, we extended our domestic footprint across several luxury markets, including New Hampshire. We also added a Georgetown office, our fourth in the mid-Atlantic, as well as high-level agents in key markets. Our recruiting pipeline remains strong. Additionally, our agents continue to set the standard.

Michael Liebowitz

29 Douglas Elliman agents and teams were recognized in this year's RealTrends Verified plus the 1,000 ranking spanning California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, the Hamptons, and New York City. We are building a company that is smarter, faster, and more efficient. One that is better equipped to support our clients, agents, and employees than any other brokerage in the industry.

Michael Liebowitz

Every decision we make, every investment we pursue, including our AI transformation, Elliman Capital, international expansion, and the talent and leadership we are bringing in, is in service of one goal: to build something that has never existed in residential real estate, a technology-forward luxury enterprise with a truly global reach.

Michael Liebowitz

One that resets its cost structure through enterprise-wide AI and deploys its proprietary data through Elius to create intelligence capabilities, new revenue streams, and a fundamentally different future for our stockholders, agents, and staff. With that, I will turn it over to Bryant, who will provide more details on our financial operating performance for the three and six months ended June 30th, 2026. Bryant?

Bryant Kirkland

Thank you, Michael. Beginning in May 2026, we began to see positive momentum in our financial performance as cash receipts from existing home sales in May and June 2026 were up 15% and 16%, respectively, from the prior year. This momentum has continued into July 2026, with cash receipts from existing home sales up 8% compared to July 2025.

Bryant Kirkland

During the three-month period from May to July 2026, the weighted average cash receipts from existing home sales increased by 13% from the comparable 2025 period, with Florida, the Hamptons, Texas, Nevada, and Boston leading the way. These results demonstrate that despite elevated mortgage rates, our luxury home buyers are beginning to look past the macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that were present in early 2026. Before reviewing the financial performance, we will provide some updates on our trends.

Bryant Kirkland

First, our industry-best average price per transaction through the six months ended June 30th, 2026, has been consistent with the 2025 year-to-date period at approximately $1.9 million per home sale. For the last 12 months, our average price per transaction has been $1.85 million per home sale, compared to $1.77 million for the 12 months ended June 30th, 2025.

Next, our development marketing division remains the preeminent industry player with a pipeline of actively marketed projects of approximately $26.1 billion of gross transaction value. Approximately $18.9 billion of gross transaction value is in Florida alone. In addition to this pipeline, we have another $9.7 billion of gross transaction value coming to market through September 2027. We believe this foundation of business bodes well for the future as we will recognize commission income from these projects when they close, which is generally expected to be between 2026 and 2032.

Bryant Kirkland

Our balance sheet remains strong, with $105 million of cash at June 30th, 2026, and $121 million of cash and cash equivalents at July 31st, 2026. The $16 million increase in cash and cash equivalents in July 2026 reflects the net receipt of $13 million from our settlement of a stockholder derivative action lawsuit.

Bryant Kirkland

The strength of our balance sheet provides a competitive advantage as we implement plans to transform our technology infrastructure, scale our operations, and strengthen our services platform. Moving to the operating performance of the business in the second quarter, which reflected stronger performance than both the second quarter of 2025 as well as the first quarter of 2026. Douglas Elliman reported $283.4 million in revenues, compared to $271.4 million in the 2025 period.

Bryant Kirkland

Excluding revenues from our property management business, which was disposed of in October 2025. Revenues increased by 8.6% from the second quarter of 2025 to $283.4 million from $260.9 million. Net loss for the second quarter was $2.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, and narrowed from a net loss of $22.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share in the 2025 period. Net loss in the 2025 period included a non-cash interest expense of $17 million associated with the decline in fair value of derivatives embedded within our convertible debt, which was retired in October 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was a loss of $986,000, compared to a loss of $3.6 million in the 2025 period.

Bryant Kirkland

Adjusted net loss for the second quarter was $3.9 million or $0.05 per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $7.3 million or $0.09 per share in the 2025 period. Moving to the operating performance of the business for the six months ended June 30th, 2026. As a reminder, the year-over-year comparisons for the six months ended June 30th, 2026 are impacted by a difficult comparable due to an unusually strong first quarter of 2025. Douglas Elliman reported $497.8 million in revenues for the six months ended June 30th, 2026, compared to $524.8 million in the 2025 period. Excluding revenues from our property management business, revenues declined by 1.4% from the 2025 period to $497.8 million from $504.8 million.

Bryant Kirkland

Net loss for the six months ended June 30th, 2026 was $19 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $28.7 million or $0.34 per diluted share in the 2025 period. Net loss in the 2025 period included a non-cash charge of $17.7 million associated with our convertible debt, which was retired in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30th, 2026 was a loss of $11.4 million, compared to a loss of $4.5 million in the 2025 period. Adjusted net loss for the six months ended June 30th, 2026 was $16.3 million or $0.19 per share compared to $11.6 million or $0.14 per share in the 2025 period.

Business Wire
Company advances strategic priorities with new market entries, platform expansion and brokerage leadership appointments Positioned for long-term growth as a leaner, more powerful platform built for luxury MIAMI, May 08, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Douglas Elliman Inc.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are included in Tables 2 and 3, and for the last twelve months ("LTM") ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025 are included in Table 2. Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman (as described in Table 2 attached hereto) was a loss of $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to a loss of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted Net Loss attributed to Douglas Elliman (as described in Table 3 attached hereto) was $12.4 million or $0.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.3 million or $0.05 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. GROSS TRANSACTION VALUE For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company achieved gross transaction value of approximately $8.6 billion with an average price per transaction of $1.96 million - a figure that management believes affirms Douglas Elliman's position at the top of the luxury residential market and its distinction as the highest average sales price brokerage among the top 10 national brokerages in the United States. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company achieved gross transaction value of approximately $9.9 billion with an average price per transaction of $2.02 million. BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL POSITION Douglas Elliman maintained a robust balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $96.0 million and no long-term debt. This financial profile affords the Company significant strategic flexibility to pursue organic growth, accretive talent acquisition, technology investment, and opportunistic market expansion initiatives. OUTLOOK The Company enters the second quarter of 2026 with a strengthened foundation: a strong capital position, a development marketing pipeline of approximately $27.2 billion (including $19.5 billion in Florida alone) with another $8.4 billion scheduled to come to market through March 31, 2027, and key brokerage leadership appointments now in place. While first quarter 2026 revenues declined year-over-year against a particularly strong prior-year quarter, they exceeded first quarter revenues in both 2024 and 2023, reflecting the positive underlying trajectory of the business. The cost discipline actions taken throughout 2025, international and domestic footprint expansion, and the continued investment in technology and brand all contribute to what management believes is a compelling foundation for accelerated growth as market conditions normalize. Douglas Elliman remains focused on maintaining leadership in luxury residential real estate through superior agent talent, global market presence, and a brand that commands the industry's highest average sales price. Management is executing against this objective with discipline and believes the platform is now well positioned to deliver long-term stockholder value. STRATEGIC GROWTH INITIATIVES Douglas Elliman sees opportunities to extend the Company's luxury leadership and accelerate long-term stockholder value creation. Footprint Expansion Since 2025, Douglas Elliman entered new international markets in Canada, France, Monaco, and the Caribbean. These markets extend the Company's geographic reach to serve affluent and ultra-high-net-worth clients across global luxury real estate locations. In addition, Douglas Elliman continues to extend its domestic footprint across several high-value and coveted luxury markets, including the California Wine Country, Richmond, Virginia and Rye, New York. Together these expansions reflect the Company's disciplined, opportunity-driven approach to market growth and its commitment to planting the Douglas Elliman flag in markets where luxury demand is rising. Technology and AI Investment Douglas Elliman continued its disciplined investment in technology during the first quarter, with a focused and strategic build-out of tools designed to elevate the agent and client experience by continuing to refine Elli Ai, Douglas Elliman’s AI agent assistant, as well as the development of a new agent mobile app that will serve as a single source of entry for agent productivity, consolidating the tools and information agents need into one seamless platform. LUXURY LEADERSHIP AND MARKET POSITION As a pure-play luxury residential real estate brokerage, Douglas Elliman serves a distinct segment of the market. With the highest average sales price among the top 10 national brokerages, the Company's brand, agent network, and transaction expertise are focused on the luxury and ultra-luxury segments, which have historically demonstrated resilience across varying market conditions. The 2026 RealTrends Brokerage Rankings, which place Douglas Elliman among the top 10 brokerages in the nation in Gross Transaction Value, reflect the strength of Douglas Elliman's luxury platform. 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 March 31, 2026 (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 the operating performance of the Company’s business, and management does, and investors should review both the overall performance (GAAP net income (loss)) 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 (loss), net income (loss) 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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the LTM ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman and Adjusted Net Loss 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 the operating performance of the Company’s business, and management does and investors should review both the overall performance (GAAP net income/loss) 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/loss, net income/loss 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 and full years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Now, I would like to turn the call over to the Chief Executive Officer of Douglas Elliman, Michael S. Liebowitz.

Michael Liebowitz

Thank you, Heather. Good morning, and thank you for joining us. Douglas Elliman continues to build on the strong momentum established by the decisive steps we took in 2025, including strategic alignment and disciplined financial management underpinned by our unwavering commitment to luxury service. The fourth quarter was a period of bold execution and meaningful progress on our long-term vision to be the leading independent luxury real estate brokerage driven by innovation, talent, and a relentless focus on our clients and agents. This progress positions Douglas Elliman well for long-term success and value creation for our stakeholders. On today's call, we will discuss the current operating environment and Douglas Elliman's financial results for the three months and year ended December 31st, 2025. All numbers presented this morning will be as of December 31st, 2025, unless otherwise stated.

Michael Liebowitz

Before we turn to our results, I want to highlight several key developments from the past quarter that underscore our differentiated strategy and the unique strengths that set Douglas Elliman apart. First, we continue to actively pursue opportunities to deepen our footprint in existing markets while strategically entering new high-potential regions. We continued expanding our brand internationally with our recent entry into the French Alps, building on our successful launches in Bordeaux, the French Riviera, and Monaco. Under the leadership of Rich Green, our brand's presence in these globally recognized luxury destinations is already generating significant interest from high-net-worth clients seeking exclusive cross-border expertise. By partnering with seasoned industry leaders and local specialists, we believe we have further enhanced our ability to deliver best-in-class service and bespoke solutions in the world's most coveted markets.

Michael Liebowitz

We currently operate in nine markets in the United States and believe there is a significant opportunity to further expand our presence as well as the Douglas Elliman brand in our existing and new markets. To support this strategy, Douglas Elliman recently launched two growth teams. The market growth team focused on expanding our footprint within current markets, and the new markets team responsible for driving our expansion into new domestic and international markets. These teams will strategically recruit agents by highlighting our competitive advantage in serving the luxury real estate sector. Second, we have continued to expand our core service offerings. The successful launch of Elliman Capital in New York following its debut in Florida marks a significant step forward in our mission to deliver a seamless, integrated real estate and financing experience for our clients.

Michael Liebowitz

By leveraging our strategic alliance with Associated Mortgage Bankers, Elliman Capital provides agents and clients with a comprehensive suite of lending solutions, competitive rates, and the streamlined support that only an in-house platform can offer. This initiative strengthens our value proposition in our flagship markets and positions us to capture new opportunities among traditional and non-traditional borrowers alike. Third, we have reinforced our leadership team with appointments that signal our commitment to growth and innovation, operational excellence, and agent empowerment. Our brokerage subsidiary has appointed Wendy Purvey as Chief Strategy Officer, and her appointment further strengthens our capacity to drive growth through agent acquisitions, international partnerships, and new service lines.

Michael Liebowitz

Our brokerage subsidiary has also welcomed the return of Natalie Passerini as Chief Marketing Officer and the addition of Chris Reyes as Chief Technology Officer. Natalie and Chris bring deep expertise and fresh vision to our brand evolution, digital strategy, and agent support platforms. We are excited to welcome these accomplished leaders to the Douglas Elliman team and look forward to the energy, insight, and collaboration they will bring as we continue to elevate our company and support our agents. Finally, we have also made significant investments in market intelligence, technology, and agent resources. We recently launched a new market data report program, which will provide agents and clients with timely, transparent insights tailored to our markets. Our ongoing rollout of agent-centric technology, including Elli AI, Elliman Private Listings, and enhanced marketing tools, ensures our professionals remain at the forefront of the industry, equipped to deliver exceptional value and results.

Michael Liebowitz

Now turning to our 2025 results was a pivotal year in which we advanced our strategic transformation and strengthened our financial position. Our revenues for 2025 increased by 3.8% year-over-year to $1.033 billion. We made considerable progress toward restoring profitability, reporting operating income of $45.5 million, a significant improvement from our operating loss of $68.8 million in 2024. This year's operating income was positively impacted by an $81.7 million gain from the sale of our property management division in October. After adjusting for this gain and other items, our adjusted EBITDA for 2025 improved to a loss of $14 million, compared to a loss of $24.1 million in 2024.

Michael Liebowitz

With cash and cash equivalents of approximately $115.5 million at December 31, 2025, and no long-term debt following the redemption of our convertible notes, we are strategically positioned to capitalize on market opportunities in our evolving industry. We believe 2026 will mark the beginning of a new growth phase as the investments and strategic moves we made in 2025 begin to yield results. Our strengthened balance sheet and enhanced operational capabilities give us flexibility to enter new markets, scale our innovative offerings, and attract top talent. This foundation enables us to respond proactively to emerging opportunities and evolving client needs, helping us in our quest to drive long-term growth and deliver sustainable value to our clients, agents, and stockholders.

Michael Liebowitz

With that, I will turn it over to Bryant, who will provide more details on our financial performance and the trends shaping the residential real estate market.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

Thank you, Michael, and good morning. We are confident that our positive momentum is continuing and has positioned Douglas Elliman for long-term success. As Michael discussed, we believe our strong balance sheet provides Douglas Elliman with a competitive advantage as we implement our plans to grow in our existing markets, expand into new markets where appropriate, and strengthen our services platform as opportunities arise in our ever-changing industry. The results from the year ended December 31st, 2025 indicate that our core operations are starting to reflect the impact of strategic actions we have taken over the past two years. In particular, results from operations for the year ended December 31st, 2025 benefited from a favorable sales mix, highlighted by strong contributions from development marketing in the Northeast region.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

Specifically, revenues from our development marketing division increased by $12.6 million from the prior year as we began to see the benefits of the investments we have made in this division in recent years. As a reminder, we recognize commission income from development marketing contracts when the underlying units close. I would now like to discuss a few key trends. First, Douglas Elliman continues to set the standard in the luxury market, with luxury home pricing remaining strong. Our average price per transaction in 2025 increased to $1.86 million per home sold, compared to $1.67 million per home sold in 2024.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

In the fourth quarter of 2025, our agents sold 282 homes priced at more than $5 million, representing 5.4% of total transactions and 1,282 such homes during the year ended December 31st, 2025. That's a 25% increase compared to the year ended December 31st, 2024. We also sold 102 homes for more than $10 million in the fourth quarter and 392 in 2025. Those are increases of 31% and 28% respectively from last year. These results clearly demonstrate Douglas Elliman remains the definitive name in luxury real estate. Next, our development marketing division remains a preeminent industry player with an active project pipeline totaling $25.3 billion in gross transaction value.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

That includes $17.5 billion in gross transaction value in Florida alone. In addition to this pipeline, $7.5 billion of gross transaction value is expected to come to market through December 2026. We believe this strong foundation positions us well for the future as we will recognize commission income from these projects upon closing, which is generally between 2026 and 2031. Development marketing's revenue increased to $80.4 million in the year ended December 31st, 2025, up from $67.8 million in 2024. I'm also pleased to report each of our geographic markets increased revenues from existing home sales in 2025. Consistent with the third quarter, leading the way was the Northeast market, which increased by $17.5 million or 9.2% from 2024.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

Importantly, we achieved these results amid ongoing economic pressures, including geopolitical uncertainties and the continuation of elevated mortgage rates. Although not included in our fourth quarter results, cash receipts from existing home sales in January and February 2026 were 11% lower than January and February 2025. Total brokerage cash receipts, which include existing home sales and receipts from our development marketing division, were 12.4% lower than January and February 2025. As a reminder, the first quarter of 2025 is a difficult comparable because it had the highest revenues in a quarter since 2022. Let us move to updates on our expense structure and our continued focus on operational efficiency. We continue to manage investments across our markets with a strict focus on return on investment metrics.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

For the three months and year ended December 31st, 2025, we continued to target expenses with respect to office leases, professional services, and technology. Nonetheless, our expense structure was negatively impacted by inflationary trends and increased personnel expenses. The increase in personnel expenses was primarily attributable to our ongoing investment in the development marketing business, as well as increased bonus accruals associated with increased revenues from business performance in 2025. Next, the strength of Douglas Elliman's balance sheet continues to provide a competitive advantage as we focus on executing our growth strategy. In October 2025, in connection with and upon consummation of the sale of our property management business, the company agreed to repay and redeem all of our convertible notes for an aggregate payment of $95 million, which included accrued interest.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

As Michael noted, this strengthened our financial position, and the company had $115.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and no long-term debt at December 31st, 2025. We believe our strong balance sheet gives Douglas Elliman a competitive advantage by providing optionality to expand into new markets where appropriate and strengthen our services platform as opportunities arise in our ever-changing industry. Now, moving to the operating performance of the business in the fourth quarter. Douglas Elliman reported $245.4 million in revenues compared to $243.3 million in the 2024 period. Excluding revenues from our recently disposed property management business in both periods, revenues increased by 3.8% from the fourth quarter of 2024 to $243.3 million from $234.2 million.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

Net income for the fourth quarter was $68.6 million or $0.68 per diluted share compared to net loss of $6 million or ($0.07) per diluted share in the 2024 period. Net income in the 2025 period included a gain of $81.7 million from the disposal of our property management business and a non-cash benefit of $4.7 million associated with the decline in fair value of derivatives embedded within our convertible debt. Net loss in the 2024 period included a non-cash benefit of $5.2 million associated with the decline in fair value of derivatives embedded within our convertible debt.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the operations of our property management business in all periods for the quarter, was a loss of $10.6 million compared to a loss of $6.6 million in the 2024 period. Adjusted net loss in the fourth quarter was $14.2 million or $0.17 per share compared to adjusted net income of $1.3 million or $0.01 per share in the 2024 period. Now, turning to the operating performance of the business for the year ended December 31st, 2025, which will be compared to the year ended December 31st, 2024. Douglas Elliman reported $1.033 billion in revenues, up from $995.6 million in revenues in 2024.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

Excluding revenues from our recently disposed property management business in both periods, revenues for the year increased by 4.4% from 2024 to $1 billion from $958.8 million. Net income for 2025 was $15.2 million or $0.17 per diluted share compared to net loss of $76.3 million or $0.91 per diluted share. Net income in the 2025 period included a gain from the disposal of our property management business of $81.7 million, which was offset by a non-cash charge of $28.5 million associated with the increase in fair value of derivatives embedded within our convertible debt.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

Net loss in the 2024 period included a $17.75 million litigation settlement charge and a non-cash charge of $15 million associated with the increase in fair value of the derivatives embedded within our convertible debt. Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was a loss of $14 million compared to a loss of $24.1 million in the 2024 period, both of these amounts exclude operations of our recently disposed property management business. Adjusted net loss for 2025 was $27.1 million or $0.32 per share compared to $29.6 million or $0.35 per share in the 2024 period.

J. Bryant Kirkland III

As noted earlier, Douglas Elliman has maintained ample liquidity with cash and cash equivalents at December 31st, 2025 of approximately $115.5 million. Thank you for your attention. Now back to you, Michael.

Michael Liebowitz

Thanks, J. Bryant Kirkland III. We have implemented strategic initiatives to advance our market leadership, elevate our service offerings, and expand our reach both domestically and internationally. Our 2025 results demonstrate that our recent investments are already delivering tangible benefits, and we expect these positive impacts to continue into 2026 and beyond. Thank you for your continued trust in Douglas Elliman. With that, we will turn the call over to the operator. Operator.
