| One of the strongest value propositions that gives us an advantage over everybody is scale |
| I'm confident ESP will emerge from current market downturn into a much stronger position to capitalize the future market growth opportunity |
| And we think we've got a good path to really operate these more efficiently with more entrepreneurial mindset, country leaders |
| The $20 million profit improvement is really including impact on operating costs, which impact our cost of selling and SG&A, and also some additional revenue opportunity |
| We're very excited about it |
| We've achieved scale and profitability consistently, which allows us to reinvest and take advantage of new opportunities |
| We're also EBITDA positive for the year, when not adjusting for stock based comp |
| Moving forward, we expect, our agent count to return to growth over time as we continue to sort of retain our highly productive agents and demonstrate, obviously, it's demonstrated really by our strong agent satisfaction |
| We are well positioned for 2024 |
| In summary, due to our superior agent value proposition and the resilience and hard work of our agents and staff, our revenue growth outperformed the industry |
| Our real estate sale transaction unit growth outperformed the industry |
| This was really a remarkable outcome and thanks to the hard work of our higher productive agents and dedicated staff |
| We're really excited about the technology |
| We expect to see dramatic improvements as we launch My eXp app in the next few months with our goal to continue to make technology simple, mobile and easily accessible for one place for our ages |
| While revenues and affiliate services still remain small, they're gaining momentum and represent opportunities for meaningful incremental revenue and margins per transaction in the future |
| eXp Realty North America and International represent our path to overall revenue growth powered by our cloud based asset light model, which allows us to continue iterating on our superior agent value proposition |
| I'm very excited about for a true instant offer for our agents and their sellers in the 50 plus markets they serve across the United States |
| And lastly, with 2023 behind us, we're entering 2024 in a position of strength with increased momentum |
| To recap, our value proposition remains strong with high agent NPS score at 73 for 2023 and 77 for Q4 |
| We're entering 2024 with very strong momentum |
| I think that our high NPS scores will further drive retention of eXp's top agents, who are more likely than ever to recruit additional agents to the company |
| So I'm thrilled to share that agent NPS improved throughout 2023 to reach 73 for the year |
| And we actually had a fair -- I called an anomalous 77 because it was a little bit of an outlier for the fourth quarter, but it just shows the strength of our model and how well it resonates with our agents and brokers |
| However, our agent volume proposition remains strong with big teams and agents joining worldwide and agent NPS at their highest it's ever been |
| One award that I believe is driven by our high NPS scores is Glassdoor's best places to work |
| Both eXp and eXp agents have been recognized widely for our shared success |
| Ultimately, we hope to improve our agents' lives with ongoing operational improvements |
| These operational improvements resulted in helping our agents get support, get paid and get more business |
| We continue to grow our market share from 3.9% in 2022 to 4.2% in 2023, reflecting over 8% growth year-over-year |
| Fourth quarter NPS increased to 77, which was an outstanding result of our investment in operational excellence in 2023 |

| So I touched on it in my prepared remarks, but basically we -- it's obviously, we have a tough housing market |
| residential real estate industry, which was down over 10% year-over-year and Q4 over 17% in 2023 |
| 2023 full year revenue was $4.3 billion, a decrease of 7% year-over-year |
| Reported gross profit was $71 million a decrease of 15% |
| Reported gross profit was $324 million, a decrease of 5% year-over-year |
| As most of you are familiar, 2023 has been a difficult year with existing home sales in the U.S |
| 2023 North America Realty segment revenue $4.2 billion decreased 7% year-over-year |
| And revenue in other segment was down 6% in 2023 to a $4.8 million with adjusted EBITDA loss $3.8 million |
| residential real estate transactions were down less than 2% year-over-year in Q4 and approximately 8% for the full year |
| Adjusted EBITDA was $57.5 million, a decrease of 5% from prior year |
| The year-over-year decline in revenue was $370 million |
| We calculated the negative impact of lower home sales to our revenue as $62.6 million |
| We calculated the negative impact of lower home sales to our revenue was a reduction of $759 million |
| It's literally the worst year we've had since 1995, even worse than 2008 |
| at their lowest level in nearly 30 years |
| residential home sales size decreased approximately 8% which pressured our agent production |
| The decline net income year-over-year was primarily due to Virbela impairment charges, increased agent growth incentive stock compensation and a higher effective test rate |
| I mean, it feels like that would maybe apply a little bit of an underlying pressure on gross margin with more capping |
| The other segment, which is primarily SUCCESS, also contributed modest amount of revenue and generated a small adjusted EBITDA loss |
| And so, we we've definitely felt some pressure |
