Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
- Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business
Compass, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 4, 2012 under the name Urban Compass, Inc.
The Company provides an end-to-end platform that empowers its residential real estate agents to deliver exceptional service to seller and buyer clients. The Company’s platform includes an integrated suite of cloud-based software for customer relationship management, marketing, client service and other critical functionality, all custom-built for the real estate industry, which enables the Company’s core brokerage services. The platform also uses proprietary data, analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to deliver high value recommendations and outcomes for Compass agents and their clients.
The Company’s agents are independent contractors who affiliate their real estate licenses with the Company, operating their businesses on the Company’s platform and under the Compass brand. The Company generates revenue from clients through its agents by assisting home sellers and buyers in listing, marketing, selling and finding homes as well as through the provision of services adjacent to the transaction, like title and escrow services, as well as franchise services, all of which comprise a smaller portion of the Company’s revenue to date. The Company currently generates substantially all of its revenue from commissions paid by clients at the time that a home is transacted.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all controlled subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of entities acquired from the date of each respective acquisition. Interests held by third parties in consolidated subsidiaries are presented as non-controlling interests, which represents the non-controlling stockholders’ interests in the underlying net assets of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. For entities where the Company does not have a controlling interest (financial or operating), the investments in such entities are accounted for using the equity method or at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, as appropriate. The Company applies the equity method of accounting when it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of an investee. The Company measures all other investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income or in the case that an equity investment does not have readily determinable fair values, at cost minus impairment (if any) plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared by management on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented.
The results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to (i) fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, (ii) fair value of contingent consideration arrangements in connection with business combinations, (iii) incremental borrowing rate used for the Company’s operating leases, (iv) useful lives of long-lived assets, (v) impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, (vi) allowance for Compass Concierge receivables and (vii) income taxes and certain deferred tax assets. The Company determines its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences may be material.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, consisting primarily of third-party legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity with discrete financial information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates financial information on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company hasone operating and reportable segment, inclusive of the recently acquired businesses, which are in the process of being integrated into the Company's core brokerage business. Substantially all long-lived assets and revenue are based in the United States.
The CODM measures segment performance based on net income (loss), using it to guide key operating decisions, including budget allocation across the significant expense categories included in operating expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. Other measures of profit or loss are also utilized. There are no other expense categories regularly provided to the CODM that are not already included in the primary financial statements herein.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Compensation expense is generally recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the service period based on the vesting requirements generally ranging fromone tofive years. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
On a limited basis, the Company has issued stock options and RSUs that contain service, performance and market-based vesting conditions. Such awards were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and the underlying expense will be recognized as the associated vesting conditions are met.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 retrospectively as of January 1, 2024. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard includes enhanced income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid for annual periods. The amendments in this update are effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This new guidance is designed to improve the disclosures of specific account categories, including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, and costs incurred related to inventory and manufacturing activities. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
- Acquisitions
Christie’s International Real Estate
On January 13, 2025, the Company closed the merger transaction (the “Acquisition”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated November 25, 2024, by and among the Company, Compass Brokerage, LLC, Company Merger Sub, LLC, At World Properties Holdings, LLC, known as @properties Christie’s International Real Estate (“Christie’s International Real Estate”), At World Properties Principals Blocker, Inc. (“Principals Blocker”), At World Properties IX Blocker, Inc. (“IX Blocker”), Apple IX Blocker Merger Sub, Inc., Apple Principals Blocker Merger Sub, Inc., and Quad-C LLC, as seller representative. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on January 13, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of Principals Blocker, IX Blocker and Christie’s International Real Estate and each of Principals Blocker, IX Blocker and Christie’s International Real Estate became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company entered into this transaction to expand its existing brokerage and integrated services businesses in key domestic markets and to establish a presence in the high-margin franchise sector through the Christie's International Real Estate brand.
The aggregate consideration (“Purchase Consideration”) payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement consisted of (i) $153.0 million (the “Cash Consideration”); and (ii)44.1 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Share Consideration”). The Share Consideration is subject to further adjustment (the “Share Consideration Adjustment”) if the value of the Share Consideration on the 366th day following the Closing Date, determined using the price per share equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the 10-trading day period ending on the 366th day following the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Share Price”), is (i) greater than $344.0 million, in which case the Share Consideration will be reduced by a number of shares in an aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million (determined using the Post-Closing Share Price), up to a maximum of 5.6 million shares, or (ii) less than $344.0 million, in which case the Share Consideration will be increased by a number of shares in an aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million (determined using the greater of $6.6612 and the Post-Closing Share Price), up to a maximum of 7.5 million shares. In May 2025, the Company and certain sellers of the Christie's International Real Estate entities amended the terms of the Share Consideration (the "May 2025 Amendment"). Under the May 2025 Amendment, if the Company’s stock price reaches the value that would trigger the minimum number of shares to be issued under the original collar structure, the sellers will be paid at that time rather than at the end of the original one-year collar period. This accelerated payment can occur only (1) after the six-month anniversary and before the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (2) if the spot price of the Company’s stock equals or exceeds the volume-weighted average price used to measure achievement of the target value. If these conditions are not met, payment will occur as originally provided in the Merger Agreement.
The total consideration transferred included $153.0 million in cash paid. The total consideration transferred also included the fair value of the Share Consideration, estimated at $250.1 million as of the acquisition date. The final number of shares to be issued in connection with the Share Consideration is dependent on the Company’s share price on the 366th day following the Closing Date. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the Share Consideration as of the acquisition date. Significant inputs to the model included the term of the Share Consideration adjustment period, the Company’s historical equity volatility, and the target share price. Because the settlement amount is based on the future trading price of the Company’s common stock, which represents an unobservable input, the fair value measurement is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company determined that the Share Consideration should be classified as equity as the monetary value of the obligation is not predominantly fixed and the variability in the settlement amount is based solely on changes in the Company’s own stock price. The May 2025 Amendment provides mutual economic benefit to the Company and participating sellers, affecting only the timing of settlement within the original arrangement’s terms. As a result, the equity classification of the Share Consideration remains unchanged, and the accounting impact was recorded entirely in Additional Paid-In Capital, with no effect on the income statement or purchase accounting.
The following table summarizes the individual elements within the calculation of total consideration transferred (in millions):
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Cash Consideration | $153.0 |
| Share Consideration | 250.1 |
| Total consideration transferred | $403.1 |
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired by the Company as of the acquisition date (in millions):
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $3.5 |
| Accounts receivable | 14.6 |
| Other current assets | 5.5 |
| Property and equipment | 11.9 |
| Operating lease right-of-use assets | 20.2 |
| Other non-current assets | 8.1 |
| Goodwill | 230.0 |
| Intangible assets | 164.1 |
| Total assets | 457.9 |
| Accounts payable | (2.0) |
| Commissions payable | (6.3) |
| Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | (21.7) |
| Current lease liabilities | (4.9) |
| Non-current lease liabilities | (15.4) |
| Other non-current liabilities | (4.5) |
| Total liabilities | (54.8) |
| Net assets | $403.1 |
The fair value of identified intangible assets and their respective useful lives as at the time of acquisition were as follows (in millions):
| Amount | Useful Life(in years) | |
|---|---|---|
| Trademarks | $20.3 | 2 - 6 years |
| Acquired technology | 29.2 | 2 years |
| Agent networks | 72.3 | 7 years |
| Affiliate network | 42.3 | 6 years |
| Total intangible assets | $164.1 |
Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful lives in a pattern that most closely matches the timing of their economic benefits. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the monetization opportunities from the Acquisition's current and future offerings and the value of the assembled workforce.
The Company has recorded the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date and expects to finalize its analysis within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) of the transaction. Any adjustments during the measurement period would have a corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.
Until the Share Consideration is issued, none of the goodwill recorded for this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Once issued, the amount of tax-deductible goodwill may increase to approximately $212.0 million. These amounts are not expected to have an impact on the income tax provision while the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $5.0 million in transaction-related costs, of which $3.4 million are legal fees and $1.6 million are professional and general consulting fees, which were expensed as incurred. $4.3 million of these transaction-related expenses were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024 and $0.7 million were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Pro Forma Information
The acquired entity’s results have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition date onward. The first column in the table below reflects the acquired entity’s actual results post-acquisition, while the second and third columns present the Company’s pro forma results as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024 (in millions):
| Actuals · Pro Forma | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| January 13, 2025 throughJune 30, 2025 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 | |
| Revenue | $274.2 | $3,424.0 | $3,001.9 |
| Net income (loss) | 10.0 | (17.0) | (117.9) |
The pro forma information depicted in the second and third columns above does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been had the Acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2024, nor does it purport to predict the results of operations for future periods. The unaudited pro forma results include adjustments for additional amortization of acquired finite-lived intangible assets and the related tax effects assuming the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024.
Other Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% ownership in a residential real estate brokerage and acquired the assets of a title insurance and escrow settlement business. The purpose of these acquisitions was to expand the Company's brokerage and title and escrow footprint in key domestic markets. The Company has accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations. The acquisition consideration includes $23.6 million in cash, net of cash acquired, paid during the six months ended June 30, 2025, $3.0 million expected to be paid in the third quarter of 2025, and additional amounts contingent on achieving earnings-based targets through 2027. The future consideration amounts were recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed primarily resulted in the recognition of $15.7 million of customer relationships, which is being amortized over the estimated useful life of approximately 4 years.
The Company has recorded preliminary purchase price allocations as of each acquisition date and expects to finalize them within each acquisition's applicable one-year measurement period. Adjustments during the measurement periods will be offset against goodwill. After the applicable measurement periods end, any further adjustments will be reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Pro forma revenue and earnings for these acquisitions has not been presented because they are not material to the Company’s consolidated revenue and results of operations.
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration represents obligations of the Company to transfer cash and common stock to the sellers of certain acquired businesses in the event that certain targets and milestones are met. As of June 30, 2025, the undiscounted estimated payment under these arrangements was $31.9 million. Changes in contingent consideration measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in millions):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Opening balance | $36.2 | $19.5 | $31.0 | $20.9 |
| Acquisitions | — | 7.4 | 4.8 | 7.4 |
| Payments | (3.3) | (0.4) | (3.5) | (2.3) |
| Changes in fair value included in net income (loss) | (2.1) | 0.4 | (1.5) | 0.9 |
| Closing balance | $30.8 | $26.9 | $30.8 | $26.9 |
- Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $177.3 million and $223.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are held in cash and money market funds, which are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted prices in active markets. These are the Company’s only Level 1 financial instruments. The Company does not hold any Level 2 financial instruments. The Company’s contingent consideration liabilities of $30.8 million and $31.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are the Company’s only Level 3 financial instruments.
See Note 3 – “Acquisitions” for changes in contingent consideration for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The following table presents the balances of contingent consideration as presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | $5.5 | $3.3 |
| Other non-current liabilities | 25.3 | 27.7 |
| Total contingent consideration | $30.8 | $31.0 |
There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the periods presented.
Level 3 Financial Liabilities
The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities relate to acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements. Contingent consideration represents obligations of the Company to transfer cash or the Company's common stock to the sellers of certain acquired entities in the event that certain targets and milestones are met. The primary method the Company used to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities was a Monte-Carlo simulation, which is based on inputs such as forecasted future results of the acquired businesses, which are not observable in the market, discount rates and earnings volatility measures. The Company has not presented certain quantitative information regarding the unobservable inputs utilized to measure contingent consideration liabilities given changes in these assumptions have not and are not expected to materially impact the Company’s operating results during 2025 or in future periods. Changes in the fair value of Level 3 financial liabilities are included within Operations and support expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (see Note 3 – “Acquisitions”).
- Debt
Concierge Credit Facility
In July 2020, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Concierge Facility”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and the several lenders party thereto, which was subsequently amended on July 29, 2021, August 5, 2022, August 4, 2023 and August 1, 2025. The Concierge Facility provides for a $75.0 million revolving credit facility and is solely used to finance a portion of the Company’s Compass Concierge Program. The Concierge Facility is secured primarily by the Concierge Receivables and cash of the Compass Concierge Program.
Borrowings under the Concierge Facility bear interest at the term SOFR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. Thetwo year commitment fee is 0.35% if the Concierge Facility is utilized greater than 50% and 0.50%, if the Concierge Facility is utilized less than 50%. On August 1, 2025, the revolving period under the Concierge Facility was extended to July 31, 2027. The interest rate on the drawn down balance of the Concierge Facility was 7.24% as of June 30, 2025. Pursuant to the Concierge Facility, the principal amount, if any, is payable in full in January 2028, unless earlier terminated or extended.
The Company has the option to repay the borrowings under the Concierge Facility without premium or penalty prior to maturity. The Concierge Facility contains customary affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements, as well as covenants that restrict the Company's ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, sell certain receivables, declare dividends or make certain distributions, and undergo a merger or consolidation or certain other transactions. Additionally, in the event that the Company fails to comply with certain financial covenants that require the Company to meet certain liquidity-based measures, the commitments under the Concierge Facility will automatically be reduced to zero and the Company will be required to repay any outstanding loans under the Concierge Facility. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Concierge Facility.
The Concierge Facility includes customary events of default that include, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of certain covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations and/or the increase in the applicable interest rate under the Concierge Facility.
Revolving Credit Facility
In March 2021, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and as collateral agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and certain other lenders, which was subsequently amended on May 1, 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a $350.0 million revolving credit facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a letter of credit sublimit which is the lesser of (i) $125.0 million and (ii) the aggregate unused amount of the revolving commitments then in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Company’s subsidiary guarantors.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 0.50% or (ii) a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 1.50%. The base rate is equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate as quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (c) the SOFR term rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00% and (d)1.00%. The SOFR term rate is determined by the Administrative Agent as the forward-looking term rate plus a 0.10% adjustment. During an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility, the applicable interest rates are increased by 2.0% per annum. The interest rate on the drawn down balance of the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.81% as of June 30, 2025.
The Company is also obligated to pay other customary fees for a credit facility of this type, including a commitment fee on a quarterly basis based on amounts committed but unused under the Revolving Credit Facility of 0.175% per annum, fees associated with letters of credit and administrative and arrangement fees. The principal amount, if any, is payable in full in March 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended.
The Company has the option to repay the Company’s borrowings, and to permanently reduce the loan commitments in whole or in part, under the Revolving Credit Facility without premium or penalty prior to maturity. As of June 30, 2025, there was $50.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled approximately $33.3 million.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties, financial covenants applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements, and negative covenants which restrict their ability, among other things, to incur liens and indebtedness, make certain investments, declare dividends, dispose of, transfer or sell assets, make stock repurchases and consummate certain other matters, all subject to certain exceptions. The financial covenants require that (i) the Company maintains liquidity of at least $150.0 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and each date of a credit extension and (ii) the Company’s consolidated total revenue as of the last day of each fiscal quarter be equal to or greater than the specified amount corresponding to such period. Minimum liquidity is defined as unused amounts under the $350.0 million Revolving Credit Facility plus the unrestricted cash of Compass and its restricted subsidiaries. The minimum required consolidated revenue threshold for the trailing four fiscal quarters is $4,668.0 million during 2024 and thereafter. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes customary events of default that include, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of certain covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, change of control and certain material ERISA events. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability is recorded and disclosed if the amount is material to the Company’s business taken as a whole. When a material loss contingency is only reasonably possible, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can reasonably be made. Legal costs related to the defense of loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Claims or regulatory actions against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could have an adverse impact on the Company due to legal costs, diversion of management resources and other elements. Except as identified with respect to the matters below, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any individual existing legal or regulatory proceeding to which it is a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or overall business in each case, taken as a whole.
Real Estate Commission Antitrust Litigation
On March 21, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the Gibson and Umpa cases on a nationwide basis. The settlement resolves all claims in these cases and similar claims in other lawsuits alleging claims on behalf of sellers on a nationwide basis against the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Claims”) and releases the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliated agents from the Claims. Under the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay $57.5 million and make certain changes to its business practices. The Company’s motion for final approval of the settlement agreement was granted on October 31, 2024 and the settlement agreement is now effective. The final approval ruling was appealed by certain class members that objected to the settlement, including but not limited to plaintiffs in the March and Friedman matters, referenced below, which are now pending before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The objecting parties filed their briefs on April 21, 2025. Responses, including those by the Company, were filed on July 28, 2025. The objecting parties may file any replies thereafter.
Two of the putative class action lawsuits, March v. Real Estate Board of New York, et al., No. 1:23-cv-09995 (S.D.N.Y.) (“March”), filed on November 13, 2023, and Friedman v. Real Estate Board of New York, et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-09601 (S.D.N.Y.) (“Friedman”), filed on January 18, 2024, name the Company as a defendant and allege, among other things, that the Real Estate Board of New York, and a number of real estate brokerages engaged in a continuing contract, combination, or conspiracy to unreasonably restrain interstate trade and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1 by entering into a continuing agreement to require sellers of residential property to make inflated payments to brokers representing buyers. The Friedman and March matters also allege violations of the Donnelly Act, N.Y. Gen. Bus. § 340, and the March matter further seeks injunctive relief pursuant to Section 16 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 26. The Friedman and March matters are limited in scope to the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, and Manhattan, respectively. The March and Friedman matters are stayed pending the appeal of the final approval of the settlement agreement.
One putative class action lawsuit, QJ Team, LLC, et al. v. Texas Association of Realtors, Inc., et al., No. 4:23-cv-01013 (E.D. Tx.) (“QJ Team”), filed on November 13, 2023, names Realty Austin, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, as a defendant and alleges, among other things, that certain trade associations, including the Texas Association of Realtors, and a number of real estate brokerages engaged in a continuing contract, combination, or conspiracy to unreasonably restrain interstate trade and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1 by entering into a continuing agreement to require sellers of residential property to make inflated payments to brokers representing buyers.

Batton, et al. v. Compass, Inc., et al.
Batton, et al. v. Compass, Inc., et al., No. 1:23-cv-15618 (N.D. Ill.) (“Batton II”), filed on November 2, 2023, names the Company andseven other brokerages as defendants and alleges that the defendants entered into a continuing contract, combination, or conspiracy to unreasonably restrain interstate trade and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1 and state law antitrust statutes, violated state consumer protection statutes, and were unjustly enriched by industry rules that set the manner by which buyer’s brokers are compensated.

(“Batton I”), filed on January 25, 2021, which does not name the Company but names the National Association of Realtors and six other brokerages. The Company and the defendants in the Batton II matter filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on June 21, 2024. The plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss on August 5, 2024 and the Company and the defendants filed a reply on September 4, 2024.

- Stock-Based Compensation
2012 Stock Incentive Plan
In October 2012, the Company adopted the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). Under the 2012 Plan, employees and non-employees could be granted stock options, RSUs and other stock-based awards. Generally, these awards were based on stock agreements with a maximumten-year term for stock options and a maximum seven-year term for RSUs, subject to board approval.
2021 Equity Incentive Plan
In February 2021, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders adopted and approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), with an initial pool of 29.7 million shares of common stock available for granting stock-based awards plus any reserved shares of common stock not issued or subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2012 Plan. In addition, on January 1 st of each year beginning in 2022 and continuing through 2031, the aggregate number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan shall be increased automatically by the number of shares equal to 5% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 st, although the Company’s board of directors or one of its committees may reduce the amount of such increase in any particular year. The 2021 Plan became effective on March 30, 2021 and as of that date, the Company ceased granting new awards under the 2012 Plan and all remaining shares available under the 2012 Plan were transferred to the 2021 Plan. Effective January 1, 2025, the number of shares available for future grants increased by an additional 25.7 million shares as a result of the annual increase provision described above. As of June 30, 2025, there were 52.4 million shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan, inclusive of those shares transferred from the 2012 Plan.
2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In February 2021, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders adopted and approved the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), with an initial pool of 7.4 million shares of Class A common stock available for authorized purchase rights to the Company’s employees or to employees of its designated affiliates. In addition, on January 1 st of each year beginning in 2022 and continuing through 2031, the aggregate number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP shall be increased automatically by the number of shares equal to 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock and outstanding shares of preferred stock (on an as converted to common stock basis) on the immediately preceding December 31 st, although the Company’s board of directors or one of its committees may reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year. No more than 150.0 million shares of common stock may be issued over the term of the ESPP, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the ESPP. The Company elected to forgo the annual increase to the number of authorized shares available for grant under the ESPP that would have occurred on January 1, 2025. As of June 30, 2025,17.8 million shares of Class A common stock remain available for grant under the ESPP.
The ESPP permits employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock through payroll deductions accumulated duringsix-month offering periods up to a maximum value of $12,500 per offering period. The offering periods begin each February and August, or such other period determined by the Compensation Committee. On each purchase date, eligible employees may purchase the shares at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the first trading day of the offering period, or (2) the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the purchase date, as defined in the ESPP. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 0.3 million shares of Class A common stock under the ESPP.
The Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, $1.4 million had been withheld on behalf of employees for a future purchase under the ESPP.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the intrinsic value of options exercised was $11.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
A summary of RSU activity under the 2012 Plan and the 2021 Plan is presented below:
| Number of Awards | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | 27,889,410 | $4.73 |

| Balance as of June 30, 2025 | 55,133,929 | $7.06 |
(1)During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company net settled all RSUs through which it issued an aggregate of 11.3 million shares of Class A common stock and withheld an aggregate of 4.0 million shares of Class A common stock to satisfy $28.6 million of tax withholding obligations on behalf of the Company’s employees.
As previously disclosed, prior to 2022 the Company typically issued share-based compensation through grants that vested ratably over four years. Beginning in 2022, the Company adopted a new approach, issuing a series offour consecutive annual grants (each equal to 25% of the total four-year grant value) with each grant vesting over theone-year period following its grant. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued the remaining 16.2 million RSUs committed under this methodology. These RSUs were originally expected to be granted across 2025, 2026, and 2027, with each tranche vesting over theone-year period following its respective grant date. The remaining RSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2025 will vest on the same schedule as initially contemplated under the original commitments. Beginning in 2025, the Company reverted to its previous method ofone grant vesting ratably over afour-year period following the grant date for substantially all new equity commitments.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Total stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in millions):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Sales and marketing | $8.8 | $8.3 | $15.6 | $16.2 |
| Operations and support | 9.7 | 4.4 | 14.4 | 8.1 |
| Research and development | 25.4 | 15.2 | 38.3 | 30.1 |
| General and administrative | 11.3 | 3.0 | 17.3 | 9.4 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $55.2 | $30.9 | $85.6 | $63.8 |
As of June 30, 2025, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense totaled $327.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
The Company has not recognized any tax benefits from stock-based compensation as a result of the full valuation allowance maintained on its deferred tax assets.
- Income Taxes
The Company recognized $0.3 million of income tax expense and $3.1 million of income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was a result of a partial reduction in the valuation allowance related to the carryover tax basis in deferred tax liabilities in connection with the acquisition of Christie's International Real Estate, partially offset by current tax expense from operations in the UK and India, as well as state taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized income tax benefits of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on all domestic net deferred tax assets based on numerous factors including estimated future taxable income and historic profitability.
The Company had no material uncertain tax positions as of the period ended June 30, 2025 nor does it expect a substantial increase in the next 12 months. If applicable, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision.
The U.S. is the Company’s only material tax jurisdiction. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for years before 2015. The IRS and state taxing authorities can subject the Company to audit dating back to 2012 when the Company begins to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law. The OBBBA introduced multiple U.S. federal income tax changes such as deductibility of domestic research and development expenses, deductibility on certain property additions and limitations on interest expense deduction. The Company is currently assessing the legislation and the impact of these provisions on our consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect the legislation to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements while the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on all domestic net deferred tax assets.
- Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Compass, Inc.
The Company computes net income (loss) per share under the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock are substantially identical, other than voting rights. Accordingly, the net income (loss) per share attributable to Compass, Inc. will be the same for Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock on an individual or combined basis.

- Compass Concierge Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses
In 2018, the Company launched the Compass Concierge Program for home sellers who have engaged Compass as their exclusive listing agent. The initial program was based on a services model (“Concierge Classic”) provided by Compass Concierge, LLC (“Compass Concierge”), which included items such as consultation on suggested cosmetic updates or modifications to a specific property or guidance on securing licensed contractors or vendors to perform non-structural property improvements. The Concierge Classic program provided for the payment of the up-front costs of specified home improvement services provided by unrelated vendors. During 2022, the Company substantially ceased providing new payments under the Concierge Classic program.
In 2019, the Compass Concierge Program was expanded to include a loan program underwritten by an independent third-party lender (the “Lender”) through a commercial arrangement with Compass Concierge (“Concierge Capital”). Under the Concierge Capital program, the Lender originates and services unsecured consumer loans to home sellers following its independent underwriting process pursuant to program-level criteria provided by the Company. The Company has no right or obligation with respect to any individual consumer loan originated by the Lender. Under the agreement, the Company has repayment rights against the Lender in connection with a corporate loan.
Payment to the Company for these services under the Concierge Classic program or repayment of the loan funds under the Concierge Capital program is due upon the earlier of a successful home sale, the termination of the listing agreement or one year from the date in which costs were originally funded. Compass Concierge receivables (“Concierge Receivables”) are stated at the amount advanced to the home sellers, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any material income from the Compass Concierge Program. The Company incurs service fees payable to the Lender and incurs bad debt expense in connection with the Compass Concierge Program.
The Company manages its credit risk by establishing a comprehensive credit policy for the approval of new loans while monitoring and reviewing the performance of its existing Concierge Receivables. Factors considered include but are not limited to:
No negative liens or judgements on the property;
Seller’s available equity on the property;
Loan to listing price ratio;
FICO score (only for Concierge Capital program); and
Macroeconomic conditions.
Credit Quality
The Company monitors credit quality by evaluating various attributes and utilizes such information in its evaluation of the appropriateness of the ACL. Based on the Company’s experience, the key credit quality indicator is whether the underlying properties associated with the Concierge Receivables will be sold or not. Concierge Receivables associated with properties that are eventually sold have a lower credit risk than those that are associated with properties that are not sold. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of outstanding Concierge Receivables related to unsold properties was approximately 96% and 97%, respectively. For Concierge Receivables where repayments have not been triggered (i.e., earlier of (i) sale of the property, (ii) termination of a listing agreement or (iii) 12 months from the date costs were originally funded), the Company establishes an estimate as to the percentage of underlying properties that will be sold based on historical data. This estimate is updated as of the end of each reporting period.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company maintains an ACL for the expected credit losses over the contractual life of the Concierge Receivables. The amount of ACL is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments by management. Historical loss experience is generally the starting point when the Company estimates the expected credit losses. The Company then considers whether (i) current conditions and economic conditions, (ii) future economic conditions and (iii) any potential changes in the Compass Concierge Program that are reasonable and supportable would impact its ACL. The following table summarizes the activity of the ACL for Concierge Receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (in millions):
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginning of period | $10.3 | $10.4 |
| Allowances | 0.1 | 0.2 |
| Net write-offs | (0.1) | (0.3) |
| End of period | $10.3 | $10.3 |
Aging Status
The Company generally considers Concierge Receivables to be past due after being outstanding for over 30 days after the initial billing. Changes in the Company’s estimate to the ACL are recorded through bad debt expense as Sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and individual accounts are charged against the allowance when all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted. The following table presents the aging analysis of Concierge Receivables as of June 30, 2025 (in millions):
| June 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Current | $43.4 |
| 31-90 days past due | 1.1 |
| Over 90 days past due | 4.1 |

Beginning in 2022, the Company enacted certain workforce reductions, wound down Modus Technologies, Inc., terminated certain of its operating leases and took actions to reduce its occupancy costs, the most significant being the scaling down of its New York administrative office. The lease termination costs were recognized as a result of the accelerated amortization of various right-of-use assets and other lease-related costs. The workforce reductions were part of a broader plan by the Company to take meaningful actions to improve the alignment between the Company’s organizational structure and its long-term business strategy, drive cost efficiencies enabled by the Company’s technology and other competitive advantages and continue to drive toward profitability and positive free cash flow. The Company continued its cost reduction initiatives during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the related expenses have been presented within the Restructuring costs and Depreciation and amortization lines in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as applicable.
