Redfin Second-Quarter 2018 Revenue up 36% Year-over-Year to $142.6 Million

August 9, 2018 4:02 PM

SEATTLE, Aug. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Redfin Corporation (NASDAQ: RDFN), the technology-powered residential real estate brokerage, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018. All financial measures, unless otherwise noted, are presented on a GAAP basis and include stock-based compensation as well as depreciation and amortization expenses.

Revenue increased 36% year-over-year to $142.6 million during the second quarter. Gross profit was $45.2 million, an increase of 22% from $37.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. Gross margin was 32%, compared to 35% in the second quarter of 2017. Real estate services(1) gross profit was $45.5 million, an increase of 22% from $37.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. Real estate services gross margin was 35%, compared to 37% in the second quarter of 2017. Operating expenses were $42.8 million, an increase of 31% from $32.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. Operating expenses were 30% of revenue, down from 31% in the second quarter of 2017.

Net income was $3.2 million, compared to net income of $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. Stock-based compensation was $4.8 million, up from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. Depreciation and amortization was $1.9 million, up from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2017.

GAAP net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, reflects accretion expense for changes in the fair value of our redeemable convertible preferred stock, which was outstanding prior to its conversion to common stock following our initial public offering ("IPO"). GAAP net income per share, basic and diluted, was $0.04, compared to GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, of $7.15 in the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income per share, basic and diluted,(2) which excludes accretion expense for changes in the fair value of our redeemable convertible preferred stock and assumes its conversion to common stock in connection with our IPO as of the first day of the reported period, was $0.06 in the second quarter of 2017. As a result of the conversion of our redeemable convertible preferred stock in connection with our IPO, there was no accretion expense in the second quarter of 2018.

"Redfin's share gains again accelerated in the second quarter, with especially strong growth in the number of Redfin listings we sold," said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. "We also saw the first improvement in homebuyers' engagement with our agents in nearly three years, a sign that our increased levels of personal service will pay off. We expect U.S. home sales growth to slow and even perhaps reverse in August and September, but believe Redfin will continue to gain share at a high rate because of our service quality and pricing, as well as consumers' increasing Redfin awareness. And finally, we've again expanded the portfolio of services we offer our customers, by committing to a long-term expansion of Redfin Now, our business of buying homes from their owners, and selling those homes on our own account."

Highlights

(1) Prior to reporting our financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, we had one reportable segment ("real estate") that reflected revenue derived from commissions and fees charged on real estate services transactions closed by us or partner agents representing customers in buying and selling homes. Beginning with our financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a new reportable segment ("properties") that reflects revenue from when we sell homes that we previously bought directly from homeowners. Concurrent with our recognition of the new "properties" segment, we changed the name of our "real estate" segment to "real estate services." Prior to our financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, we included the results from our "properties" segment as part of our "other" segment.

(2) Adjusted net income per share, basic and diluted, are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided below in the tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

(3) We calculate the aggregate value of U.S. home sales by multiplying the total number of U.S. home sales by the mean sale price of these sales, each as reported by the National Association of REALTORS®. We calculate our market share by aggregating the home value of real estate services transactions conducted by our lead agents or our partner agents. Then, in order to account for both the sell- and buy-side components of each transaction, we divide that value by two-times the estimated aggregate value of U.S. home sales.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect Redfin's expectations as of August 9, 2018, and are subject to substantial uncertainty.

For the third quarter of 2018 we expect:

Conference Call

Redfin will webcast a conference call to discuss the results at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today. The webcast will be open to the public at http://investors.redfin.com. The webcast will remain available on the investor relations website for at least three months following the conference call.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including statements regarding our future operating results included under the header Business Outlook. We believe our expectations related to these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but actual results may turn out to be materially different. For factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, please see the risks and uncertainties identified under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018, both of which are available on our Investor Relations website at http://investors.redfin.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements reflect our beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we have used non-GAAP financial measures, specifically adjusted net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, in this press release. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute of, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures enable comparison of financial results between periods where net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, may vary independent of business performance. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool, in particular the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of accretion expense, which is related to our redeemable convertible preferred stock that converted into common stock upon the completion of our IPO in August 2017. Included in weighted-average shares outstanding, basic and diluted, are shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock as if all such shares were converted to common stock on the first date of each period presented. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting its usefulness for comparison purposes. A reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, to net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
