SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 9, 2024 – Caliber (NASDAQ: CWD; “CaliberCos Inc.”), a real estate investor, developer, and asset manager, today reported results for the first quarter ended on March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights (compared to first quarter 2023)

Total revenue of $23.0 million, a 22.3% decrease
Platform revenue of $4.7 million, a 25.6% decrease
Asset management revenue of $4.6 million, a 16.1% increase
Performance allocations of $0.2 million, related to the sale of land in Johnstown, Colorado
Net loss attributable to Caliber of $3.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to Caliber of $1.2 million or $0.07 per diluted share
Caliber Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.7 million, compared to Caliber Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million
Fair value assets under management (“FV AUM”) of $766.7 million, a 3.4% increase, primarily due to the L.T.D. hotel contribution into the Caliber Hospitality Trust
Managed capital of $453.9 million, a 3.7% increase compared to December 31, 2023, with originations of $19.1 million, partially offset by redemptions of $2.8 million

Management Commentary

“Caliber continues to focus on our core objective: consistent, profitable growth,” said Chris Loeffler, CEO of Caliber. “Our year-over-year first quarter results were impacted by the deconsolidation of six hotels on March 7, 2024, which were included in our first quarter 2023 results. While the change negatively impacts the present performance comparisons from a financial reporting standpoint, I look forward to sharing during our call today why we believe it’s a positive long-term change for Caliber.”

“Following a thorough evaluation of our cost structure, we identified more than $6 million in annualized savings, which will reduce our annual operating costs to approximately $15 million. Many of these reductions have already been implemented. Reductions in non-payroll operating costs are expected to yield annualized savings of $2.5 million compared to 2023. Reduction in payroll expenses, through attrition and a reduction in force, are anticipated to produce $2 million in savings in 2024 with the full $4 million in annualized savings expected to be realized in 2025. These savings



are expected to partially offset the sizeable increase in operating costs Caliber incurred between 2022 and 2023.”

"While these decisions are difficult to make, we believe they are essential to restoring Caliber's profitability and ensuring a robust foundation for future growth and success. We remain confident in our medium- and long-term growth prospects, particularly as we’ve seen development activity pick-up in the past couple of months as well as meaningful increases in our fundraising pipeline and activity.”

Business Update

The following are key milestones completed both during and subsequent to the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, Caliber was actively developing 2,240 multifamily units, 2,386 single family units, 2.6 million square feet of commercial and industrial, and 1.0 million square feet of office and retail.
On April 29, 2024, Caliber announced the sale of Areas B and C of The Ridge development, each approximately 20-acre parcels of land in Johnstown, Colo., for an aggregate $12.3 million.
On May 1, 2024, Caliber closed on the capitalization of Phase 1 of the Company’s SP10 project, which includes the conversion of an existing hotel to apartments along with the development of new townhomes surrounding the site, producing 188 units in total. In doing so, the SP10 partnership repaid an existing $11 million loan that had matured.
As of May 2, 2024, Caliber’s new wholesale fundraising team has signed 26 selling agreements with regional broker dealers and registered investment advisors for investments in company-sponsored products. In total, these partners have approximately 381 representatives with $3.4 billion of accessible AUM.
On May 7, 2024, Caliber announced the sale of an approximately 50-acre parcel of land in Johnstown, Colo., to the Archdiocese of Denver for $7.7 million.
On May 8, 2024, the Caliber Hospitality Trust (CHT) received a $10 million investment commitment into its Series D preferred equity. This investment nearly doubles the current total of preferred equity invested into CHT and will help advance the business plans of Caliber and CHT.

Definitions

Assets Under Management

AUM refers to the assets we manage or sponsor. We monitor two types of information with regard to our AUM:

i.Managed Capital – we define this as the total capital we fundraise from our customers as investments in our funds. It also includes fundraising into our corporate note program, the proceeds of which were used, in part, to invest in or loan to our funds. We use this information to monitor, among other things, the amount of ‘preferred return’ that would be paid at the time of a distribution and the potential to earn a performance fee over and above the preferred return at the time of the distribution. Our fund management fees are based on a percentage of managed capital or a percentage of assets under management, and monitoring the change and composition of managed capital provides relevant data points for Caliber management to further calculate and predict future earnings.

ii.Fair Value (“FV”) AUM – we define this is as the aggregate fair value of the real estate assets we manage and from which we derive management fees, performance revenues and other fees and expense reimbursements. We estimate the value of these assets quarterly to help make sale and hold decisions and to evaluate whether an existing asset would benefit from refinancing or recapitalization. This also gives us insight into the value of our carried interest at any point in time. We also utilize FV AUM to predict the percentage of our portfolio which may need development services in a given year, fund management services (such as refinance), and brokerage services. As we control the decision to hire for these services, our service income is generally predictable based upon our current portfolio AUM and our expectations for AUM growth in the year forecasted.

Non-GAAP Measures

We use non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, make strategic decisions, and for other discretionary purposes. We believe that these measures enhance the understanding of ongoing operations and comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they provides investors a view of the performance attributable to CaliberCos Inc. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly identified measures of other companies because not all companies use the same calculations. These measures may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.

Fee-Related Earnings and Related Components

Fee-Related Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure used to assess our ability to generate profits from fee-based revenues, focusing on whether our core revenue streams, are sufficient to cover our core operating expenses. Fee- Related Earnings represents the Company’s net income (loss) before income taxes adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense and extraordinary or non-recurring revenue and expenses, including performance allocation revenue and gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, public registration direct costs related to aborted or delayed offerings and our Reg A+ offering, the share repurchase costs related to the Company’s Buyback Program, litigation settlements, and expenses recorded to earnings relating to investment deals which were abandoned or closed. Fee-Related Earnings is presented on a basis that deconsolidates our consolidated funds (intercompany eliminations) and eliminates noncontrolling interest. Eliminating the impact of consolidated funds and noncontrolling interest provides investors a view of the performance attributable to CaliberCos Inc. and is consistent with performance models and analysis used by management.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure equal to Fee-Related Earnings plus performance allocation revenue and less interest expenses and provision for income taxes. We believe that Distributable Earnings can be useful as a supplemental performance measure to our GAAP results assessing the amount of earnings available for distribution.

Caliber Adjusted EBITDA

Caliber Adjusted EBITDA represents the Company’s Distributable Earnings adjusted for interest expense, the share repurchase costs related to the Company’s Buyback Program, other income (expense), and provision for income taxes on a basis that deconsolidates our consolidated funds (intercompany eliminations), Loss on CRAF Investment Redemption, Gain on extinguishment of Payroll Protection Program loans, and eliminates noncontrolling interest. Eliminating the impact of consolidated funds and noncontrolling interest provides investors a view of the performance attributable to CaliberCos Inc. and is consistent with performance models and analysis used by management.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents the Company’s and the consolidated funds’ earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, transaction fees, expenses and other public registration direct costs related to aborted or delayed offerings and our Reg A+ offering, the share repurchase costs related to the Company’s Buyback Program, litigation settlements, expenses recorded to earnings relating to investment deals which were abandoned or closed, any other non-cash expenses or losses, as further adjusted for extraordinary or non-recurring items.
