BELLINGHAM, Wash., Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AGNT, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGNT), formerly eXp World Holdings, Inc., (the “Company,” “AGNT” or “we”), the holding company for eXp Realty®, NextHome, Inc., FrameVR.io and SUCCESS® Enterprises, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2026 ended June 30, 2026.
“Our second quarter results are a testament to what happens when you build a platform that genuinely serves agents,” said Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty, LLC. “Record revenue and record transactions don’t happen by accident, they are the direct result of agents choosing to grow their businesses with us, stay on the platform, and produce more. Retention continues to be highest among our top quartile of producers, and transactions per agent continue to climb, reinforcing our belief that platform utility, not just network size, is what drives durable growth. eXp Realty remains the engine of this platform, and we are just getting started.”
“The name change to AGNT, Inc. this quarter says plainly what this company now is,” said Glenn Sanford, Founder, Chairman and CEO of AGNT, Inc. “One platform, multiple brokerage models, all of it built to serve agents. eXp Realty is the most agent-centric brokerage on the planet, and NextHome extends that reach to agents and broker/owners who want something different. A broader platform with more opportunities is a more resilient one.”
“I am proud to report a record revenue quarter for AGNT, reflecting the scale and operational discipline we have built across the platform,” said Jesse Hill, Chief Financial Officer of AGNT, Inc. “Our results this quarter also demonstrate meaningful progress on the efficiency initiatives we outlined in 2025, with continued productivity gains and operational improvements. We also completed the NextHome acquisition with cash on hand, expanding our offering to agents and increasing our long-term growth opportunity while maintaining a debt-free balance sheet. We are on track with the integration of NextHome and its contribution, while still early, is consistent with our expectations. We are narrowing our full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance range and remain focused on continuing to drive revenue growth while delivering sustainable, long-term profitability.”

- Revenue increased 11% to $1.4 billion from $1.3 billion.

- Adjusted EBITDA1 (a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure) of $25.7 million, a 129% increase from $11.2 million.

Second Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights as Compared to the Same Year-Ago Period:
- AGNT ended the second quarter of 2026 with a global agent Net Promoter Score (“aNPS”) of 69, compared to 77 in the prior-year period. aNPS is a measure of agent satisfaction and an important key performance indicator given the Company’s intense focus on improving the agent experience.

- Second quarter 2026 real estate sales transactions increased 12% year-over-year to 132,497.

Third Quarter 2026 Outlook:
- Revenue between $1.35 billion and $1.45 billion.

- Adjusted EBITDA1 between $17 million and $22 million.
Full-Year 2026 Outlook:
- Revenue between $4.85 billion and $5.15 billion.
- Operating expenses between $355 million and $365 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 between $50 million and $60 million.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and has not been reconciled to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure outlook because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management’s control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide outlook for the comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA are made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
For a reconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures on a historical basis, see “Consolidated U.S. GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation” and “Adjusted Operating Cash Flow” included in this press release.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating cash flow which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. These measures are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company’s non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management for financial and operational decision-making. These measures may also provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in the industry.
- Adjusted EBITDA helps the reader identify underlying trends in the business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses excluded in adjusted EBITDA. In particular, the Company believes the exclusion of agent growth incentive stock-based compensation and stock compensation expense related to business acquisitions and stock option expenses provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of operations and provides better transparency into results of operations. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA to mean net income (loss), excluding other income (expense), net income tax benefit (expense), depreciation, amortization, impairment charges (as applicable), litigation contingency, legal costs non-recurring, stock-based compensation expense, stock option expense, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company.
- Adjusted operating cash flow helps the reader understand the Company’s cash flow. The Company defines adjusted operating cash flow to mean net cash provided by operating activities, excluding the change in customer deposits.
