Exhibit 99.1
reAlpha Tech Corp. Announces Financial Results for the Transition Period ended December 31, 2023 and Provides Business Update
DUBLIN, Ohio., March 12, 2024 – reAlpha Tech Corp. (“reAlpha,” “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) (Nasdaq: AIRE), a real estate technology company focused on developing, utilizing and commercializing real estate-focused artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, today provides a business update and reports financial results for the eight month period ended December 31, 2023. In accordance with a change of its fiscal year end from April 30 to December 31, effective as of December 31, 2023, the Company is reporting results for the transition period between May 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023.
“2023 marked a pivotal chapter in reAlpha’s journey,” said Giri Devanur, Chief Executive Officer of reAlpha. “We successfully debuted on the Nasdaq Capital Market in October, raised $8.0 million in gross proceeds through a public offering in November, and introduced GENA, our AI-powered real estate technology, to kick-start our goal to commercialize our technologies. Additionally, with the execution of definitive agreements to acquire Naamche, Inc. and Naamche Inc. Pvt. Ltd., coupled with a non-binding letter of intent to acquire United Software Group and certain affiliated entities, the due diligence process for which is still ongoing, we believe reAlpha is well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and create stockholder value while advancing innovative AI solutions,” concluded Mr. Devanur.
Recent strategic and operational highlights during the transition period ended December 31, 2023 include:
● | Listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “AIRE” on October 23, 2023. |
● | Announced the launch of GENA, formerly known as BnBGPT, a technology that enhances residential property listings in multiple online real estate marketplaces through the integration of personalized generative AI descriptions. |
● | Consummated a public offering for gross proceeds of $8.0 million on November 24, 2023. |
● | Entered into definitive agreements to acquire Naamche, Inc. and Naamche, Inc. Pvt. Ltd (collectively, “Naamche”), a technology company focused on developing AI-powered solutions for large industries, including real estate, which is subject to closing conditions and jurisdictional approval (the “Acquisitions”). |
● | Approved the change of our fiscal year-end from April 30 to December 31, effective as of December 31, 2023. |
● | Entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire United Software Group and certain subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “USG”), an Ohio-based privately-held, multi-industry information technology consulting company. |
Business Strategy Update
Given the current macroeconomic climate, including rising interest rates, inflation, and high property prices, we decided to pause our efforts in acquiring real estate. Instead, we shifted our focus towards improving and developing our AI technologies for commercial applications, aiming to create revenue through technology while our short-term rental operations are on hold. We intend to continue commercializing our technologies to further add technology-derived revenue streams. We may resume the complementary direct real estate investing model from our rental business segment when prevailing interest rates and other macroeconomic factors align more favorably. In the meantime, our growth strategy will encompass both organic and inorganic methods through commercialization of our AI technologies that are in varying stages of development and acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies.
Financial Results
In accordance with a change of our fiscal year end from April 30 to December 31, effective as of December 31, 2023, we are reporting results for the transition period between May 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023.
Revenue for the eight months ended December 31, 2023 was $121,690, compared to $284,666 for the eight months ended December 31, 2022. Our revenues consist of both the short-term rental revenue that we receive from our listed properties, if any, and platform services income that we receive from our technologies. This decrease in revenues is mainly attributed to lower rental income segment due to the disposal of properties during the eight months ended December 31, 2023, and lower platform services segment revenue compared to the eight months ended December 31, 2022 as a result of the sale of myAlphie.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $6,456,370 as of December 31, 2023 and $1,256,868 as of April 30, 2023.
Net loss was $1,251,259 for the eight months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $4,241,555 for the eight months ended December 31, 2022. This significant decrease in net loss is predominantly attributable to the sale of myAlphie during the eight months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease in net loss may not accurately represent our current business operations and may be unusually elevated for this period due to the impact of the myAlphie sale.
Adjusted EBITDA was $(2,297,480) for the eight months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $(4,031,674) for the eight months ended December 31, 2022. The full reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below.
Explanatory Notes on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”), we believe “Adjusted EBITDA,” a “non-GAAP financial measure”, as such term is defined under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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 Adjusted EBITDA may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA 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 GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
2
We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, adjusted to exclude interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring acquisition-related compensation expenses, non-recurring direct listing expenses, unrealized gain or loss on foreign exchange, non-recurring legal reserves, settlement expenses and related costs and non-recurring gains and losses. For the transition period ended December 31, 2023 and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, we did not have any restructuring expenses or non-recurring acquisition-related compensation expenses.

Exhibit 99.2
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Let’s start with a Haiku.
Small firm, brave and bold,
Dreams of Fortune500,
Thrives, future unfolds.
2023 was a memorable year to say the least. The year kicked off with the close of our Regulation A financing round campaign, pursuant to which we raised a total of $9.05M. In March, we completed the acquisition of Rhove. In April, we filed our registration statement to start the process of listing on a stock exchange. In May, we sold one of our technologies, myAlphie, to a real estate developer for an aggregate amount of $5.85 million. Then, in October we were able to list on Nasdaq and, shortly thereafter raised gross proceeds of $8.00 million in November through a follow-on public offering.
All the while, we were facing challenges such as escalating federal interest rates, inflation, rising home prices, and global conflicts impacting the economy. Fortunately, we saw these headwinds approaching and successfully navigated through them, disposing of all of our properties, and reinvesting the proceeds into developing our artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies for application in the real estate property technology market. Consequently, we re-evaluated our short-term rental operations and strategy, and as a result, we determined to put these operations on hold to focus on the development of our AI technologies.
We ended the year strong with two announcements: the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Naamche, an AI development studio, and the execution of a non-binding letter of intent to acquire United Software Group, a multi-industry information technology consulting company. To the extent we complete both acquisitions, we believe they will expand the talent density of our team. As you may have noticed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KT, and from recent announcements, we have begun to allocate more resources and time towards improving our AI technologies and pursuing accretive acquisitions. The reasons for that are threefold:
1. | Our market analysis has shown a highly fragmented real estate technology landscape - there are over 10,000 real estate technology companies across the industry.1 |
2. | The real estate industry has been historically slow to adapt to new technologies, which provides the opportunity for us to capture market share in the rapidly evolving proptech industry.2 |
3. | The exponential growth of the AI industry has shown us a path forward where we believe our technologies can disrupt the real estate industry as a whole. |
To capitalize on these opportunities, we are pursuing various acquisitions as well as developing products and services across the real estate industry. We have been developing AI technologies for real estate since February 2021, so we believe that we are well-positioned to take advantage of the current AI industry wave and any related industry developments that we believe may come.
To better explain the company reAlpha has become and what we aim to achieve beyond the short-term rental industry, we have updated our mission statement accordingly:
Our vision: to be the global leader in real estate technology.
We have also refreshed our company’s values:
● | Integrity: Deliver promises with honesty, principles, and ethics. |
● | Leadership: Empower everyone to harness strengths and lead with expertise. |
● | Openness: Welcome diversity in thought. The best idea wins. |
● | Velocity: Operate with a 12-week year mindset. |
● | Excellence = (Intent * Concentration) ^ Execution |
Lastly, in February 2024, we announced three appointments of executive officers. Michael J. Logozzo, previously our Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed to the role of President and Chief Operating Officer to drive the execution of our strategy and focus on daily operations. Michael Frenz, previously our Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance, has now been appointed to the Chief Financial Officer role. He was previously the CFO of Clipper Realty (NYSE: CLPR) and brings significant experience in investment banking. In addition, to demonstrate our dedication to the development of our AI-driven technologies, we’ve created the role of Chief Product Officer and Jorge Aldecoa, previously our Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed to this role.
We believe the future of real estate technology comes with many anticipated and unknown challenges, as well as great opportunities. Rest assured, our dedicated team will always be passionately working to position our company not only to win the battles, but to remain victorious in the years to come. We remain committed to operating leaner and faster, as well as finding ways to make reAlpha a better place to work every day, and we hope to continue attracting world-class talent with the intent to work towards our vision to be the global leader in the real estate technology market.
A big thank you to all of our employees, customers, stockholders, partners, advisors, and everyone else who has helped us along the way. We are so glad you are on this journey with us and we are eager to see what 2024 and beyond brings.
Giri Devanur
Chief Executive Officer
