(a)Basis of Presentation:
Douglas Elliman Inc. (“Douglas Elliman” or the “Company”) is engaged in the real estate services and property technology investment business and is seeking to acquire or invest in additional real estate services and property technology, or PropTech, companies. The condensed consolidated financial statements of Douglas Elliman include the accounts of DER Holdings LLC and New Valley Ventures LLC (“New Valley Ventures”), directly and indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. DER Holdings LLC owns Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC and Douglas Elliman of California, Inc., which are engaged in the residential real estate brokerage business with their subsidiaries. The operations of New Valley Ventures consist of minority investments in innovative and cutting-edge PropTech companies.
Certain references to “Douglas Elliman Realty” refer to the Company’s residential real estate brokerage business, including the operations of Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC and Douglas Elliman of California Inc., unless otherwise specified.
The unaudited, interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and, in management’s opinion, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, also referred to as the “Codification” or “ASC.” These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
In presenting the condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b) Principles of Consolidation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of DER Holdings LLC and New Valley Ventures as well as all other entities in which Douglas Elliman has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
When evaluating an entity for consolidation, Douglas Elliman first determines whether an entity is within the scope of the guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”) and if it is deemed to be a VIE. If the entity is considered to be a VIE, Douglas Elliman determines whether it would be considered the entity’s primary beneficiary. Douglas Elliman consolidates those VIEs for which it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary. Douglas Elliman will consolidate an entity that is not deemed a VIE upon a determination that it has a controlling financial interest. For entities where Douglas Elliman does not have a controlling financial interest, the investments in such entities are classified as available-for-sale securities or accounted for using the equity or cost method, as appropriate.

(c) Estimates and Assumptions:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates subject to material changes in the near term include impairment charges and valuation of intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d) (Loss) Earnings Per Share (“EPS”):
The Company has restricted stock awards which will provide cash dividends at the same rate as paid on the common stock with respect to the shares underlying the restricted stock awards. These outstanding restricted stock awards represent participating securities under authoritative guidance. The participating securities holders do not participate in the Company’s net losses. The Company first paid dividends during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and most recently paid a dividend during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023.
As a result, in its calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company adjusted its net income for the effect of these participating securities. There were no outstanding participating securities during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders attributed to Douglas Elliman Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, which will include vested restricted stock.
Basic and diluted EPS were calculated using the following shares of common stock for the periods presented below:

(e) Reconciliation of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:
Restricted cash amounts included in current assets and other assets represent cash and cash equivalents required to be deposited into escrow for amounts required for letters of credit related to office leases, and certain deposit requirements for banking arrangements. The restrictions related to the letters of credit will remain in place for the duration of the respective lease. The restrictions related to the banking arrangements will remain in place for the duration of the arrangement. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.

(j)  Subsequent Events:
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 15,November 9, 2023, the date the financial statements were issued.
(k) New Accounting Pronouncements:
Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to be adopted in 2023:
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) adopted in 2023:
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The ASU clarifies the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. The standard also requires certain disclosures for equity securities that are subject to contractual restrictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
SEC Proposed Rule Changes
On March 21, 2022, the SEC proposed rule changes that would require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The proposed rules would require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks would also include disclosure of a registrant's greenhouse gas emissions, which have become a commonly used metric to assess a registrant's exposure to such risks. In addition, under the proposed rules, certain climate-related financial metrics would be required in a registrant's audited financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the proposed rule changes.
Basis of Presentation:

Douglas Elliman Inc. (“Douglas Elliman” or the “Company”) i
s engaged in the real estate services and property technology investment business and is seeking to acquire or invest in additional real estate services and property technology, or PropTech, companies. The condensed consolidated financial statements of Douglas Elliman include the accounts of DER Holdings LLC and New Valley Ventures LLC (“New Valley Ventures”), directly and indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. DER Holdings LLC owns Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC and Douglas Elliman of California, Inc., which are engaged in the residential real estate brokerage business with their subsidiaries. The operations of New Valley Ventures consist of minority investments in innovative and cutting-edge PropTech companies.
9
Certain references to “Douglas Elliman Realty” refer to the Company’s residential real estate brokerage business, including the operations of Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC and Douglas Elliman of California Inc., unless otherwise specified.

DOUGLAS ELLIMAN INC.The unaudited, interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and, in management’s opinion, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, also referred to as the “Codification” or “ASC.” These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)In presenting the condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b) Principles of Consolidation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of DER Holdings LLC and New Valley Ventures as well as all other entities in which Douglas Elliman has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
When evaluating an entity for consolidation, Douglas Elliman first determines whether an entity is within the scope of the guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”) and if it is deemed to be a VIE. If the entity is considered to be a VIE, Douglas Elliman determines whether it would be considered the entity’s primary beneficiary. Douglas Elliman consolidates those VIEs for which it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary. Douglas Elliman will consolidate an entity that is not deemed a VIE upon a determination that it has a controlling financial interest. For entities where Douglas Elliman does not have a controlling financial interest, the investments in such entities are classified as available-for-sale securities or accounted for using the equity or cost method, as appropriate.
Estimates and Assumptions:The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates subject to material changes in the near term include impairment charges and valuation of intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.(Loss) Earnings Per Share (“EPS”):The Company has restricted stock awards which will provide cash dividends at the same rate as paid on the common stock with respect to the shares underlying the restricted stock awards. These outstanding restricted stock awards represent participating securities under authoritative guidance. The participating securities holders do not participate in the Company’s net losses.
As a result, in its calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company adjusted its net income for the effect of these participating securities. There were no outstanding participating securities during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSEXPLANATORY NOTE

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) and audited financial statements as of and foramends the year ended December 31, 2022 and Notes thereto, included in our 2022 AnnualQuarterly Report on Form 10-K, and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes as10-Q of andDouglas Elliman Inc. (the “Company”) for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023.

Overview
We are a holding company and engaged principally in two business segments:
Real Estate Brokerage: the residential real estate brokerage services through our subsidiary Douglas Elliman Realty, which operates the largest residential brokerage company in the New York metropolitan area and also conducts residential real estate brokerage operations in Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
Corporate and other: the operations of our holding company as well as our investment business that invests in select PropTech opportunities through our New Valley Ventures subsidiary.

Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial results, we use the following business metrics to evaluate our business and identify trends affecting our business. To evaluate our operating performance, we also use Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman and Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman Margin and financial measures for the last twelve months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”), which are financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP.

_____________________________
(1)We calculate total transactions by taking the sum of all transactions closed in which our agent represented the buyer or seller in the purchase or sale of a home (excluding rental transactions). We include a single transaction twice when one or more of our agents represent both the buyer and seller in any given transaction.
(2)Gross transaction value is the sum of all closing sale prices for homes transacted by our agents (excluding rental transactions). We include the value of a single transaction twice when our agents serve both the home buyer and home seller in the transaction.
(3)Average transaction value per transaction is the quotient of (x) gross transaction value divided by (y) total transactions.
(4)The number of Principal Agents is determined as of the last day of the specified period. We use the number of Principal Agents, in combination with our other key business metrics such as total transactions and gross transaction value, as a measure of agent productivity.
(5)Annual Retention is the quotient of (x) the prior year revenue generated by agents retained divided by (y) the prior year revenue generated by all agents. We use Annual Retention as a measure of agent stability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, investment and other income, stock-based compensation expense, benefit from income taxes, and other items. Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman Margin is the quotient of (x) Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman divided by (y) revenue. Last twelve months (“LTM”) financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated by reference to the trailing four-quarter performance for the relevant metric.
We believe that Non-GAAP Financial Measures are important measures that supplement analysis of our results of operations and enhance an understanding of our operating performance. We believe Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide a useful measure of operating results unaffected by non-recurring items, differences in capital structures and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. Management uses Non-GAAP Financial Measures as measures to review and assess operating performance of our business, and management and investors should review both the overall performance (GAAP net income) and the operating performance (Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of our business. While management considers Non-GAAP Financial Measures to be important, they should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, and net income. In addition, Non-GAAP Financial Measures are susceptible to varying calculations and our measurement of Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are provided in the table below.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Three months ended March 31, 2022
Revenues. Our revenues were $213,982 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $308,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $94,918 (30.7%) decline in revenues was primarily due to a $93,073 decline in the Real Estate Brokerage segment’s commissions and other brokerage income because of lower revenues from existing home sales caused, in part, by lower listing inventory and the volatility in the financial markets as well as increases in mortgage rates.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses were $237,790 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $301,021 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decline of $63,231 was due primarily to declines in real estate brokerage commissions of $67,320. This was offset by increases in expenses associated with our expansion into new markets and enhancements to our agent-facing technology platform.
Operating (loss) income. Operating loss was $23,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to operating income of $7,879 for the same three months ended March 31, 2022. The $31,687 decline in operating income was primarily due to the net impact of declines in commission and other brokerage revenues.
Other income. Other income was $578 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1,323 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, other income primarily consisted of interest income, net of $1,105. This was offset by investment and other loss, primarily associated with our PropTech investments of $454, and equity losses from equity method investments of $73.
(Loss) income before provision for income taxes. Loss before income taxes was $23,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and income before income taxes was $9,202 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax benefit was $5,390 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and income tax expense was $2,917 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
23


We calculate our provision for income taxes based upon our estimate of the annual effective income tax rate based on full year projections and apply the annual effective income tax rate against year-to-date pretax income to record income tax expense, adjusted for discrete items, if any. We refine annual estimates as current information becomes available.
Real Estate Brokerage.
The following table sets forth our condensed consolidated statements of operations data for the Real Estate Brokerage segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022:

Revenues. Our revenues were $213,982 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $308,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decline of $94,918 (30.7%) was primarily related to a decline of $93,073 in our commission and other brokerage income because of lower revenues from existing home sales caused, in part, by lower listing inventory and the volatility in the financial markets as well as increases in mortgage rates.
Our revenues from commission and other brokerage income were $202,036 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $295,109 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decline of $93,073. In 2023, our commission and other brokerage income generated from the sales of existing homes declined by $34,590 in New York City, $26,370 in our Florida market and $16,974 in the Northeast region, which excludes New York City, and $13,985 in the West region. In addition, our revenues from Development Marketing declined by $1,154 in 2023 compared to 2022.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses were $231,325 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $294,359 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decline of $63,034, due primarily to declines in real estate brokerage commissions. This was offset by increases in sales and marketing, general and administrative and technology expenses. The primary components of operating expenses are described below.
Real Estate Agent Commissions. As a result of declines in commissions and other brokerage income, our real estate agent commissions expense was $156,102 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $223,422 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decline of $67,320 (30.1%). Real estate agent commissions expense, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 73.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 72.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $21,239 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $19,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to additional promotional sponsorships and events in the 2023 period.
Operations and support. Operations and support expenses were $18,893 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $18,091 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $25,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $26,168 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
24


Technology. Technology expenses were $6,012 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $5,293 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the 2023 period was related to technology enhancements, incremental refinements and various implementations of cloud-based applications in brokerage and property management.
Operating (loss) income. Operating loss was $17,343 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to operating income of $14,541 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decline in operating income is primarily associated with the decline in revenues, expenses associated with non-cash stock compensation, business expansion, agent support, expansion into new markets and technology.
Corporate and Other.
Corporate and Other loss. The operating loss at the Corporate and Other segment was $6,465 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $6,662 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Summary of PropTech Investments
As of March 31, 2023, New Valley Ventures had investments (at a carrying value) of approximately $14,705 in PropTech companies. This amounts to approximately 3% of the value of Douglas Elliman’s total assets, which totaled approximately $517 million, as of March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 we made a new PropTech investment, which was a non-controlling interest investment, in Infinite Creator, a video production application that allows users to capture professional-quality videos from a smartphone in minutes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents declined by $39,778 and $15,429 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Restricted cash, which is included in cash and cash equivalents, was $7,942, and $9,768 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cash used in operations was $31,575 and $6,780 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decline in the 2023 period was related to lower operating income as a result of the decline in revenues and increased expenses in our brokerage segment, along with changes in working capital due to the timing of payments. In addition, cash was negatively impacted in each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 due to the payment of year-end incentive compensation, which is accrued in the previous year and paid in the first quarter of the succeeding year.
Cash used in investing activities was $3,982 and $1,815 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in investing activities was comprised of capital expenditures of $3,627 and the purchase of investments of $355 in our PropTech business. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in investing activities was comprised of the purchase of investments of $926 in the Company’s PropTech business, capital expenditures of $849 and investments of $100 in equity-method investments. This was offset by $60 of distributions from equity-method investments in the 2022 period.
Our investment philosophy is to maximize return on investments using a reasonable expectation for return when investing in equity-method investments and PropTech investments as well as making capital expenditures.
Cash used in financing activities was $4,221 and $6,834 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in financing activities was comprised of dividends and distributions on common stock of $4,221. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in financing activities was comprised of dividends and distributions on common stock of $4,062, repayment of debt of $3,129 and $18 of earn-out payments. These amounts were partially offset by contributions from a non-controlling interest associated with Douglas Elliman Texas of $375.
We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $123,662 as of March 31, 2023 and, in addition to any cash provided from operations, such cash is available to be used to fund such liquidity requirements as well as other anticipated liquidity needs in the normal course of business. Management currently anticipates that these amounts, as well as expected cash flows from our operations and proceeds from any financings to the extent available, should be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs over the next twelve months. We may acquire or seek to acquire additional operating businesses through a merger, purchase of assets, stock acquisition or other means, or to make or seek to make other investments, which may limit our liquidity otherwise available.

25


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have various agreements in which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as title to assets sold and licensed or certain intellectual property rights. Payment by us under such indemnification clauses is generally conditioned on the other party making a claim that is subject to challenge by us and dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements have not been material. As of March 31, 2023, we were not aware of any indemnification agreements that would or are reasonably expected to have a current or future material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of March 31, 2023, we had outstanding approximately $3,000 of letters of credit, collateralized by certificates of deposit. The letters of credit have been issued as security deposits for leases of office space, to secure the performance of our subsidiaries under various insurance programs and to provide collateral for various subsidiary borrowing and capital lease arrangements.
As a service to its customers, Portfolio Escrow Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, administers escrow and trust deposits which represent undisbursed amounts received for the settlement of real estate transactions. Deposits at FDIC-insured institutions are insured up to $250. The escrow funds on deposit at the subsidiary were $27,505 and $33,533 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and corresponding escrow funds in holding of the same amount. While these deposits are not assets of the Company (and, therefore, are excluded from the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), the subsidiary of the Company remains contingently liable for the disposition of these deposits.

Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks principally from fluctuations in interest rates and could be exposed to market risks from foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices in the future. We seek to minimize these risks through our regular operating and financing activities and our long-term investment strategy. Our market risk management procedures cover material market risks for our market risk sensitive financial instruments.
