Douglas Elliman Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Company reports 5% year-over-year revenue growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 with significant improvements in Net Loss, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA.

Douglas Elliman Inc. (“Douglas Elliman” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DOUG) today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

“We are emboldened by the momentum we’ve experienced in the first nine months of the year and believe we are strongly positioned for the future,” said Michael S. Liebowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Douglas Elliman Inc. “The recent sale of Douglas Elliman Property Management, which we believe will result in an after-tax gain of approximately $75 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, sharpens our focus as the premier luxury, pure-play residential real estate brokerage and allows us to concentrate our resources on our core business. The strategic initiatives we have implemented in 2025 – including international expansion to France and Monaco, operational improvements, and investments in AI to elevate the agent and client experience – create a platform for accelerated growth and value creation as market conditions improve in 2026 and beyond.”

Bryant Kirkland, Chief Financial Officer of Douglas Elliman, added, “Our 2025 initiatives are already producing tangible results: we increased revenue, significantly reduced operating losses, and improved Adjusted EBITDA compared to the first nine months of 2024. In October 2025, we further strengthened our financial position by redeeming our convertible notes, which eliminated the associated overhang on our common stock. With a robust cash balance of approximately $126.5 million as of October 31, 2025, and no debt, we believe we have the financial strength and flexibility to continue supporting our strategic priorities.”

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, 2025 (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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the LTM ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.
