Achieves Positive Free Cash Flow In Third Quarter
NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP) (“Compass” or “the Company”), the largest residential real estate brokerage in the United States by transaction volume1, announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
“In the third quarter, for the second quarter in a row, Compass is free cash flow positive as we continue to execute our plan to drive operating expenses down while continuing to grow our agent count and expanding the features on our technology platform, the industry’s only proprietary first-contact to close platform,” said Robert Reffkin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Compass. “Additionally, at a time when many agents are leaving the industry, Compass reached its second highest quarterly retention rate since going public and our national market share was up 26 basis points year-over-year.”
Reffkin continued. “We expect to achieve our $900 million annualized non-GAAP operating expense2 run rate in Q4 2023. For 2024, we continue to identify efficiencies in the business and are targeting $850 million annualized non-GAAP operating expense, the bottom of our previously stated range of $850 million to $950 million. At these reduced levels, we believe we will still be able to continue to grow agent count and invest in building upon our technology advantage. Although the market is worse now than a year ago, Compass is a much stronger company with a lower cost base, better agent retention, revitalized post pandemic culture, enhanced technology platform, and a larger agent-to-agent client referral network. As we enter 2024, we believe we have positioned Compass for significant upside when the market recovers in the future.”
“In the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, we have been able to achieve a $187 million improvement in our operating cash flow and a $235 million improvement in free cash flow even as revenue declined by $1.1 billion,” said Kalani Reelitz, Chief Financial Officer. “Since the second quarter of 2022, we have significantly reduced our non-GAAP operating expense and we plan to achieve a reduction in the annualized run rate of nearly $550 million by Q4 2023 as we expect to exit 2023 achieving our target $900 million run rate2. We generated operating cash flow of $15 million and positive free cash flow of $12 million in the third quarter in the midst of lower transaction volumes for the U.S. residential market due to mortgage rates reaching 8%. We had a cash balance of $220 million at the end of the third quarter in addition to our revolving credit facility.”
Q3 2023 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue decreased by 10% year-over-year to $1.34 billion as transactions declined 12% driven by macroeconomic factors.
- Q3 2023 GAAP Net loss was $39 million, an improvement of 74% from a Net loss of $154 million in Q3 2022. The Net loss for Q3 2023 includes non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of $38 million, and depreciation and amortization of $21 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA3 (a non-GAAP measure) was $22 million in Q3 2023, compared to $(42) million in Q3 2022. This is an improvement of $64 million while revenue declined by 10% due to macroeconomic factors.
- Operating Cash Flow / Free Cash Flow3 (a non-GAAP measure): During Q3 2023, we delivered operating cash flow of $15 million, and free cash flow of $12 million when considering capital expenditures.
- Cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q3 2023 was $220 million, with no draw of our revolving credit facility.
Q3 2023 Operational Highlights:
- Platform: The Compass end-to-end technology platform provides real estate agents with the ability to perform their primary workflows, from first contact to close, with a single log-in and without leaving the Compass platform.
- The Compass platform has deployed artificial intelligence and machine learning for several years. Recently, we integrated the ChatGPT API. By drawing on our vast database of proprietary data, Compass AI further enhances the agent experience and their ability to quickly perform tasks such as creating listing brochures and descriptions, marketing materials, and even their agent profiles on our website.
- Compass continued the roll out of its title and escrow business integration into the technology platform in Southern California by expanding the offering to San Diego. We expect to complete our expansion of this integration in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia by the end of 2023, and roll out this integration feature to all the markets where we currently offer title and escrow services in early 2024.
- National market share in Q3 2023 was 4.4%, an increase of 26 basis points year-over-year.
- Agents: Average Number of Principal Agents was 14,055 for Q3 2023, a 4% increase of 511 principal agents from Q3 2022 and a 3% increase sequentially of 422 from Q2 2023.4 Compass continued to experience high levels of agent retention with our second highest agent retention quarter as a public company.
- Transactions: Compass agents closed 48,134 Total Transactions in Q3 2023, a decline of 12% compared to Q3 2022. Transactions for the entire U.S. residential real estate market declined 20% for the same period.5
- Gross Transaction Value (“GTV”)6 was $50.9 billion in Q3 2023, a decline of 11% compared to Q3 2022, while national market GTV was down 16.5% for the same period.

Outlook
Q4 2023 Outlook:
- Revenue of $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion
- Adjusted EBITDA of negative $35 million to negative $20 million
FY 2023 Outlook:
- Non-GAAP Operating expense range of $850–$950 million7
We have not reconciled our guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net loss because certain expenses excluded from GAAP Net loss when calculating Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Additionally, we have not reconciled our guidance for Non-GAAP Operating expense after commissions and other related expenses to GAAP Operating expenses because certain expenses excluded from GAAP Operating expenses cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, reconciliations are not available without unreasonable effort.
For a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures on a historical basis, see “Reconciliation of Net Loss Attributable to Compass, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA”, “Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Expenses to Non-GAAP Operating Expenses” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Cash Flow to Free Cash Flow” in the financial statement tables included within this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses, and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in this press release. We use Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Free Cash Flow in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Free Cash Flow are also helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties because they can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods. Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools. Therefore, you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Free Cash Flow alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss attributable to Compass, Inc., GAAP Operating expenses, operating cash flows and our other GAAP measures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Free Cash Flow, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments reflected in this press release. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Free Cash Flow should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from these calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Free Cash Flow. Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Free Cash Flow are not presented in accordance with GAAP and the use of these terms vary from others in our industry. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures have been provided in the financial statement tables included within this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.

3 A reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures can be found within the financial statement tables included within this press release. |
|
4 During the first quarter of 2023, we began to utilize an updated methodology for tracking and reporting our agent statistics. The Average Number of Principal Agents and year over year growth reported in this press release is based on the updated methodology. |
|
5 We calculate Total Transactions by taking the sum of all transactions closed on the Compass platform in which our agent represents the buyer or seller in the purchase or sale of a home (excluding rental transactions). We include a single transaction twice when one or more Compass agents represent both the buyer and seller in any given transaction. |
|
6 Gross Transaction Value includes a de minimis number of new development and commercial brokerage transactions. |
|
7 Non-GAAP Operating expenses exclude Commissions and other related expenses, Depreciation and amortization, Stock-based compensation and other expenses excluded from the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. We calculate non-GAAP Operating expense annualized run rate by taking the sum of the quarter’s non-GAAP sales and marketing, operations and support, research and development, and general and administration expenses and multiplying it by four. |
