reAlpha Tech Corp. Announces Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2024
DUBLIN, Ohio, April 02, 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 provides a business update and reports financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
"We have made great strides in 2024 in advancing reAlpha's goal to become a leader in the real estate technology industry through strategic innovation and impactful acquisitions," commented Piyush Phadke, Chief Financial Officer of reAlpha. "Our continued investment in AI-driven technologies and strategic acquisitions has translated into meaningful revenue growth, and we believe we are well-positioned to drive further expansion of our business and deliver value to our stockholders."
Business Highlights
Strategic and operational highlights during the period ended December 31, 2024, include:
- Launched the reAlpha platform, an end-to-end, commission-free homebuying platform, in April 2024, which was designed to reshape the homebuying experience by eliminating traditional commission fees. The reAlpha platform is powered by Claire, reAlpha's AI-real estate agent, which is available 24/7.
- Acquired a controlling interest in Hyperfast Title, LLC, in July 2024, which enabled us to offer title services in 3 U.S. states.
- Acquired an 85% stake in AiChat Pte. Ltd. ("AiChat") in July 2024, which enhanced reAlpha's AI capabilities in conversational customer engagement and expanded its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
- Introduced the reAlpha Super App in August 2024, which provided homebuyers with the ability to use the reAlpha platform and its AI-driven homebuying services directly in their mobile devices.
- Completed the acquisition of Debt Does Deals, LLC ("Be My Neighbor"), which allowed us to offer mortgage brokerage services in 27 U.S. states. Later in the year, Be My Neighbor became licensed in an additional state, for a total of 28 U.S. states.
Financial Results and Operational Update
In the beginning of 2024, reAlpha halted its short-term rental operations under its rental business segment due to macroeconomic conditions, such as high interest rates and inflationary pressures. As a result, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, reAlpha recognized a goodwill impairment of Roost Enterprises, Inc. ("Rhove") of $17,337,739, which reAlpha acquired to operate under its rental business segment. As such, reAlpha's financial statements and related financial notes thereto for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, reflect the Rhove goodwill impairment as discontinued operations. Because macroeconomic conditions persisted during 2024, and in connection with Rhove's goodwill impairment, the board of directors of reAlpha approved to discontinue its short-term rental business operations entirely in the first quarter of 2025.
Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $948,420, an increase of 270%, compared to $256,436 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. reAlpha's revenues consist of technology services income that it receives from its technologies and services provided by its subsidiaries. This increase in revenues is mainly attributed to the revenue derived from strategic acquisitions that reAlpha completed during 2024, such as AiChat and Be My Neighbor.
Cash and cash equivalents were $3,123,530 as of December 31, 2024 and $ 6,456,370 as of December 31, 2023.
Net loss was approximately $26.02 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.46 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. This increase in net loss is predominantly due to the goodwill impairment of Rhove during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and the one-time gain of $5,502,774 from the sale of myAlphie, a technology platform reAlpha previously developed and sold, that was recognized in the comparable 2023 period, which was not present in 2024. Loss from discontinued operations was approximately $18.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0.31 million for the comparable 2023 period, which is mainly due to Rhove's goodwill impairment and intangibles being presented as discontinued operations. Net loss from continuing operations was $7.68 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.14 million for the comparable 2023 period. The increase in net loss from continuing operations was primarily due to the one-time gain from the sale of myAlphie that was not present in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $(5,572,214) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $(7,387,223) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Explanatory Notes on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement reAlpha's financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP ("GAAP"), reAlpha believes "Adjusted EBITDA," a "non-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 GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in reAlpha's industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of reAlpha's non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate reAlpha's business.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-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:
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||||
| Net (Loss) Income | $ | (26,022,349 | ) | $ | (2,462,407 | ) | ||

| (2) Reflects the commitment fee incurred in connection with the equity facility we have in place with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (collectively, "GEM") pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement, among reAlpha and GEM, dated December 1, 2022. | ||||||||
| (3) Reflects expenses related to acquisitions, including professional and legal fees, which are excluded to provide a clearer view of ongoing operational performance. | ||||||||
| (4) Reflects the gain from the fair value measurement of previously held equity interests, which is recognized as a non-operational item and treated as a non-GAAP measure. | ||||||||
| (5) Reflects the amortized original issue discount related to that certain secured promissory note, dated as of August 14, 2024. | ||||||||
| (6) Reflects the loss from the discontinuation of our rental business segment operations, which consists mainly of the goodwill impairment of Rhove operations. | ||||||||
