Blake Janover, CEO of Janover, stated, “I am pleased to report that we achieved an 11% year-over-year increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2023, despite tremendous dislocation in the commercial real estate market. This is a testament to the strength of our marketplace and the value of being at the intersection of millions of borrowers and nearly 10% of the banks in America. I’m particularly excited that revenue from Small Business Administration (SBA) transactions more than doubled during the quarter compared to the same period last year. We think that segment of our business represents a significant growth opportunity. Notably, our revenue per transaction increased by 78% for the quarter as we focus on the most profitable cohorts of our business. On the heels of our recent IPO, we are well capitalized to execute on our strategic initiatives including sales, marketing, AI enhancements and introducing new products into our ecosystem. We’ve never been more excited about our growth prospects.”

Mr. Janover added, “We have built a powerful AI-enabled platform that addresses inefficiencies in commercial real estate and small loan transactions. Through the implementation of generative AI and our digital platform, we aim to build the largest repository of first party commercial lender and borrower data in America which we can use to create better experiences for borrowers and lenders while continually training our AI to become increasingly useful to all stakeholders. We also recently announced strategic partnerships with two leading companies in the commercial real estate sector, which we believe will allow us to capture additional market share by providing a frictionless, efficient, user-friendly, and cost-effective commercial transactions for lenders and borrowers. We have built a lean, scalable, and high gross-margin business and are prepared to scale in 2024 and beyond.”

Financial Results

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $583,785, compared to $525,360 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 11%.

The majority of the increase can be attributed to an increase in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023, due to issuance of common stock upon our IPO for services, cancellation of employee stock options and issuance of common stock in connection with the IPO, compared to the same period in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors and the market with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share, non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net loss excluding; stock-based compensation expense; depreciation; and other income (expense). We have provided reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net loss and adjusted EBITDA per share to earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share, herein, because they are key measures used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors.
