DUBLIN, Ohio, Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- reAlpha Tech Corp. (Nasdaq: AIRE) (the “Company” or “reAlpha”), an AI-powered real estate technology company, today announced financial results and business highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Financial Highlights
(All figures are approximate and compared to the second quarter of 2025 unless otherwise stated.)
- Revenue totaled approximately $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to approximately $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 11%.
- Homebuying Services Segment revenue was approximately $0.8 million, compared to approximately $1.0 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of 20%. Revenue from reAlpha Mortgage and Prevu, which was acquired in November 2025, partly offset the absence of approximately $0.6 million of GTG Financial revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2025 before the acquisition was rescinded on August 21, 2025.
- Technology Services Segment revenue increased 30% to approximately $0.3 million, compared to approximately $0.2 million in the prior-year period, driven by continued growth in AiChat’s subscription-based platform.
- Homebuying Services Segment revenue was approximately $0.8 million, compared to approximately $1.0 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of 20%. Revenue from reAlpha Mortgage and Prevu, which was acquired in November 2025, partly offset the absence of approximately $0.6 million of GTG Financial revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2025 before the acquisition was rescinded on August 21, 2025.
- Cash and cash equivalents increased 280% to approximately $2.2 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to approximately $0.6 million as of June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting capital raised during the second half of 2025, including proceeds from warrant exercises, partly offset by cash used to fund operations and strategic growth initiatives.
- Gross profit increased to approximately $0.7 million, up from approximately $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, gross profit margin increased to 66% from 52% in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting a more favorable service mix, including revenue contributed by Prevu, the absence of higher-cost operations associated with GTG Financial, and continued growth in AiChat’s technology services.
- Net loss narrowed to approximately $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to approximately $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA improved to approximately $(2.3) million, compared to approximately $(3.5) million in the second quarter of 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by lower marketing and advertising expenses, including the absence of marketing expenses associated with the Mercurius Media Capital LP (“MMC”) marketing credits, as well as lower professional and legal fees. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company also implemented a restructuring plan that included a reduction of approximately 25% of its global workforce and the rationalization of certain third-party vendor relationships to improve operating efficiency and better align its cost structure with its strategic objectives.
- Total transaction volume increased approximately 70% to $150.4 million for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately $88.4 million for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025. Total transaction volume represents the aggregate dollar value of brokerage, mortgage and title transactions facilitated through the reAlpha platform on a trailing twelve-month basis.
“During the second quarter, we made deliberate changes to how we operate and where we spend. We optimized our headcount, simplified parts of the business, rationalized certain vendor relationships and focused resources on areas where we see clear and measurable returns,” said Thomas Kutzman, Chief Financial Officer of reAlpha. “Those actions are beginning to show up in the numbers with narrowing losses as a result of operating expenses declining approximately 23% year-over-year. Total transaction volume increased 70% to $150.4 million, reflecting the continued expansion and integration of reAlpha Mortgage and the broader real estate footprint following the Prevu acquisition. Gross margin also expanded to 66%, reflecting improved operating efficiency and a more favorable service mix. In a housing market that remains sensitive to rates and affordability, our focus is to keep improving the economics of the business and convert the growing level of total transaction volume activity across the platform into stronger financial performance.”
Business Highlights
- Preparing to complete the InstaMortgage acquisition by the end of August, subject to customary closing conditions. If completed, the acquisition would add direct lending, in-house underwriting and funding capabilities to reAlpha’s mortgage platform and expand its mortgage footprint to 38 states and Washington, D.C., giving the Company broader reach and greater control over mortgage execution.
- Regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, satisfying a continued listing standard. On May 14, 2026, reAlpha regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) after its common stock maintained a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for ten consecutive business days.
- In May, management implemented return-driven spending initiatives expected to generate approximately $2 million in annualized savings and improve operating leverage. reAlpha streamlined operations, optimized resource allocation, and consolidated vendor spend to strengthen financial discipline, enhance scalability, and better align its cost structure with the Company’s growth priorities.
- Expanded Technology Services Segment capabilities through AiChat, reAlpha’s B2B conversational AI subsidiary. AiChat launched conversational commerce and AI-powered ticketing capabilities for business clients and received two Silver Awards at the Hashtag Asia Awards 2026 for its work with Senoko Energy, including Best Use of AI and Best Social Media Use of Emerging Technologies. reAlpha believes that these developments will strengthen its Technology Services Segment business and demonstrate AiChat’s ability to turn applied AI into commercial solutions for enterprise clients.
- Launched reAlpha Mortgage’s Flat Fee Compensation Model to support national loan originator recruitment and build a scalable production network. The model provides participating loan originators with a straightforward compensation structure, equity award eligibility, AI-powered operational support, internal lead opportunities and recruiting income opportunities. It is designed to help reAlpha Mortgage recruit and support originators while expanding its technology-enabled mortgage platform.
“This quarter was about earning the right to scale. We made difficult decisions to simplify the Company, sharpen our priorities and concentrate resources behind the businesses where we see the clearest path to revenue and stronger economics,” said Mike Logozzo, Chief Executive Officer of reAlpha. “The goal is not to own more of the homebuying transaction for its own sake; it is to make every capability we build or acquire produce more value for the customer and for reAlpha. As we anticipate closing the InstaMortgage acquisition by the end of August, we are intending to move forward with a leaner organization, a more focused mortgage strategy and a higher standard for every dollar and every initiative. That is the foundation that we believe is required to turn the platform we have built into a durable business.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe “Adjusted EBITDA,” a “non-U.S. GAAP financial measure,” as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate a similarly titled non-U.S. GAAP measure differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for our non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Total transaction volume represents the aggregate dollar value of brokerage, mortgage and title transactions facilitated through the reAlpha platform over the applicable trailing twelve-month period, including the closing sale price of real estate transactions, the principal amount of mortgage loans closed, and the property transaction value associated with title services. Because a single underlying property transaction may involve more than one of these services, the same transaction value may be reflected in more than one component of total transaction volume. Total transaction volume is not a measure of revenue, profit or cash flow, and may not correlate with any of them. While revenue is generated in part as a percentage of transaction volume, revenue recognized in a given period reflects only the commissions, fees and other amounts earned during that period and does not correspond directly or proportionately to total transaction volume, which is measured on a trailing twelve-month basis. The relationship between the two also varies based on the mix of services provided, the timing of revenue recognition, and customers’ adoption of multiple reAlpha services, so total transaction volume should not be used as a predictor of revenue for any period.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, to evaluate our operating performance and facilitate comparisons across periods and with peer companies. We reconcile our Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and other non-cash, non-operating, or non-recurring items that we believe are not indicative of our core business operations. We believe this measure provides useful insight into our ongoing performance; however, it should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented below:
