|---|---|
| ○ | Business<br> checking accounts for select U.S. agents with Thread Bank, Member FDIC, including a Company-branded debit card. |
| --- | --- |
| ○ | Credit<br> lines for select Canadian agents, based on their earnings history with Real. |

| ○ | Approximately<br> 2,500 Real agents are utilizing Real Wallet business checking accounts. |
|---|---|
| ○ | The<br> average deposit balance held in all Real Wallet checking accounts was approximately $7M. |
Real Wallet represents a significant step in Real’s strategy to integrate fintech solutions into its platform, providing agents with greater financial flexibility.
| ● | Business Model Adjustments. Beginning in April 2025 (for new agents) and in May 2025 (for existing agents), Real will implement several<br> adjustments to its brokerage model. |
|---|
| ○ | In<br> the U.S., the Broker review, E&O insurance, and Transaction Processing fee, will be renamed the Compliance and Broker Review<br> (“CBR”) Fee and increase from $30 to $40 per transaction. |

These adjustments align Canadian fees more closely with U.S. fees and exchange rates. Additionally, in both the U.S. and Canada, the post-cap restricted share unit bonus for agents who participate in Real’s Agent Stock Purchase Plan will decrease from 20% to 15%, effective April 2025.

Non-GAAPMeasures
This news release includes references to “Adjusted EBITDA”, and “Adjusted Operating Expense”, which are non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures. Non-GAAP measures are not recognized measures under GAAP, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as an alternative to net income by removing major non-cash items, such as depreciation, amortization, interest, stock-based compensation, current and deferred income tax expenses and other items management considers unique and/or non-operating in nature.
Adjusted Operating Expense is used as an alternative to operating expenses by removing major non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, depreciation, and other unique or non-cash expenses, while retaining ongoing fixed operating expenses and excluding variable cash expenses associated with revenue share.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Expense have no direct comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company has used or included these non-GAAP measures solely to provide investors with added insight into Real’s financial performance. Readers are cautioned that such non-GAAP measures may not be appropriate for any other purpose. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and is presented in the table below labeled Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA. Our Adjusted Operating Expense reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure is presented for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and on a quarterly basis for the prior two fiscal years in the table below labeled Reconciliation of Operating Expense to Adjusted Operating Expense.
