Q2 2021 earnings

eXp World Holdings continues its blistering pace of growth and financial success by exceeding revenue of $1.0 billion in Q2 2021 — a new record — and announcing a cash dividend for its shareholders payable in Q3 2021. (Read press release here.)

eXp’s triple-digit percent increases in revenue, gross profit, net income and operating cash flow are testament to the company’s continued success in attracting top-producing agents, increasing 87% year-over-year to 58,263 agents at the end of Q2.

“This quarter reflects that by iterating and improving the overall value proposition for real estate professionals, we continue to attract top agents and brokers to the eXp platform and expand into new countries around the world at an accelerated pace,” said Glenn Sanford, Founder, Chairman and CEO of eXp World Holdings. “By extension, our substantial growth in agent count translated to exponential growth in transaction sides and volume closed. We are also continuing to focus on creating a quality community for highly productive individuals and teams both online and in real-life events around the world. It is gratifying to see eXp’s brokerage model support the careers of so many and is highly rewarding for me personally as well as our overall management team. Our decision as a board to declare a cash dividend is also a testament to how our agent-centric model has continued to mature and grow,” said Sanford.

As we continue to scale in the U.S. and globally, this strategic approach to capital allocation will enable us to maintain a strong competitive position while capitalizing on multiple growth avenues across our business.”
