Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements
Fathom Holdings Inc. (“Fathom,” “Fathom Holdings,” and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) is a national, technology-driven, real estate services platform integrating residential brokerage, mortgage, title, and supporting software called intelliAgent. The Company’s brands include Fathom Realty, Encompass Lending, intelliAgent, LiveBy, Real Results, Verus Title, and Cornerstone. Dagley Insurance Agency was part of Fathom Holdings' operations until May 3, 2024 (see further detail in Note 17).
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fathom Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiaries. All transactions and accounts between and among its subsidiaries have been eliminated. All adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been included.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results of operations for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2025, as amended on April 29, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.
Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Company's current year presentation with no effect on the previously reported net (loss) income or shareholders’ equity (deficit). Specifically, the Company reclassified certain components of revenue and operating expenses within the consolidated statements of operations to provide a more meaningful presentation of the Company’s results:
Revenue is now presented as a single line item titled Total Revenue, which includes amounts previously reported separately as Gross Commission Income of $78.6 million and $227.1 million, and Other Service Revenue $5.2 million and $16.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively;
Commission and Services Costs now includes expenses previously reported under Commission and Other Agent-Related Costs of $74.2 million and $213.4 million, and Operations and Support of $2.3 million and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Commission and Services Costs represent direct costs to fulfill services provided by the Real Estate Brokerage, Mortgage, Technology and Development segments and Corporate and other services;
General and Administrative Expenses now exclude agent recruiting costs of $0.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which have been reclassified to Marketing Expense; and
Technology and Development Expenses now exclude certain direct personnel-related costs of $0.3 million and $1.1 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, previously included in this category. These direct costs, primarily related to ongoing development and maintenance of proprietary software used by agents, customers, and internal staff, are now included in Commission and Services Costs. Such costs primarily consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and share-based compensation.
In November 2024, the Company acquired My Home Group ("MHG"), a real estate brokerage business in the Arizona real estate market, for total consideration of approximately $4.2 million. The purchase price included initial cash consideration of approximately $0.3 million and 814,672 shares of common stock with an acquisition date fair value of $2.1 million. $1.0 million of additional consideration, subject to certain adjustments, as defined, is due within one year of the acquisition date. Further, contingent consideration with an initial estimated present value of $0.7 million is due contingent upon the occurrence of certain milestones. The Company will pay the contingent consideration, which may be paid in cash or shares of common stock at the Company’s discretion, equal to the amount by which MHG's net income exceeds defined thresholds during each fiscal year through December 31, 2027. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the individual acquisitions were recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of acquisition date, including current assets of $0.1 million and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.2 million. The Company recorded finite-lived intangible assets of approximately $3.2 million and goodwill of approximately $1.4 million. None of the Goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, MHG revenue was $34.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, MHG revenue was $101.7 million. The related earnings do not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Pro forma information has not been included as it is impracticable to obtain the information due to the lack of availability of historical GAAP financial data.
Note 2. Risks and Uncertainties
Certain Significant Risks and Business Uncertainties — The Company is subject to the risks and challenges associated with companies at a similar stage of development. These include dependence on key individuals, successful development and marketing of its offerings, and competition with larger companies with greater financial, technical, and marketing resources. Furthermore, during the period required to achieve higher revenue in order to become consistently profitable, the Company may require additional funds that might not be readily available or might not be on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
Liquidity — The Company has a history of negative cash flows from operations and operating losses. The Company generated net losses of approximately $13.6 million and $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company anticipates further expenditures associated with the process of expanding its business organically and via acquisitions. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.8 million and $7.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company received $4.0 million during the first nine months of 2025 related to the sale of its insurance business, which was completed in May 2024. The Company expects to receive the remaining $3.0 million in May 2026. On April 7, 2025, the Company repaid its $3.5 million convertible note (the "2023 Note") in full. In March 2025, the Company completed a public offering of common stock (the "March 2025 Offering"), which resulted in the issuance and sale by the Company of 3,505,364 shares of common stock at an offering price of $0.68 per share and 832,639 shares of common stock at an offering price of $0.72 per share, generating gross proceeds of $3.0 million, of which the Company received total net proceeds of $2.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs. The Company issued and sold shares of its common stock to certain investors and members of the Company’s Board. In September 2025, the Company completed a public offering of common stock (the "September 2025 Offering"), which resulted in the issuance and sale by the Company of 3,450,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $2.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $6.9 million, of which the Company received total net proceeds of $6.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs. In September 2024, the Company completed a private placement of senior secured convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes were issued to an existing shareholder who beneficially owned more than 5% of the Company’s common stock and to the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “2024 Offering”). The 2024 Notes mature in October 2026. Management believes that existing cash along with its planned budget, growth from increasing attach rates across the Company’s businesses from internal referrals, reduction of certain expenses given initiatives implemented throughout 2024 and 2025, and the expected ability to achieve sales volumes necessary to cover forecasted expenses, provide sufficient funding to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions, including those related to doubtful accounts, legal contingencies, income taxes, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, stock-based compensation, goodwill, estimated lives of intangible assets, and intangible asset impairment. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company might differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 – Segment Reporting (Topic 280) (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update require, among other things, a public company to disclose on an annual and interim basis significant segment expense, as well as other segment expenses, that are regularly provided to the CODM. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the standard during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and its application has not materially impacted the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023‑09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2023-09“). ASU 2023-09 enhanced disclosures about the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures for investors. The Company adopted ASU 2023‑09 on January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis, as required for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recent Upcoming Accounting Pronouncement
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2024-03 – Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires the disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. Per the amendment, for each interim and annual reporting period, the reporting entity must 1) disclose the amounts of (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization and (v) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil-and-gas producing activities; 2) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; 3) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and 4) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This amendment is effective for all annual periods beginning after December 31, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2024-03 will have on its disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2025-06 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 (i) eliminates references to discrete development “stages” in ASC 350-40, (ii) clarifies that internal-use software costs may be capitalized only when both of the following criteria are met: (a) management authorizes and commits to fund the project; and (b) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function (the “probable-to-complete” threshold), and (iii) introduces new guidance to evaluate whether there is significant development uncertainty (for example, where software features are novel, unproven, or performance requirements have not been identified or remain subject to substantial revision). ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2025-06 will have on its disclosures.

Note 5. Goodwill
The carrying amounts of goodwill by reportable segment as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| Real EstateBrokerage | Mortgage | Technology | Other (a) | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at September 30, 2025 | $4,068 | $10,428 | $4,168 | $2,834 | $21,498 |

The Company has a risk of future impairment to the extent that individual reporting unit performance does not meet projections. Additionally, if current assumptions and estimates, including projected revenues and income growth rates, terminal growth rates, competitive and consumer trends, market-based discount rates, and other market factors, are not met, or if valuation factors outside of the Company’s control change unfavorably, the estimated fair value of goodwill could be adversely affected, leading to a potential impairment in the future. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, no events occurred that indicated it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired. The Company plans to conduct an annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In September 2024, the Company sold and issued senior secured convertible promissory notes in aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the "2024 Notes") to an existing shareholder, who beneficially owns more than 5.0% of Fathom's common stock, and the chairman of the Company's Board of Directors in a private placement (the "2024 Offering"). The cash proceeds to the Company from the issuance of the 2024 Note were $4.9 million after deducting the 2024 Offering expense.
Beginning on September 25, 2024, quarterly interest payments are to be paid in cash on the principal amount at a fluctuating rate equal to (i) the monthly average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus (ii)4.0% per annum, subject to certain adjustments and a minimum rate of 8.0%. The 2024 Notes have a conversion price of $4.25 per share of common stock, representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 85.0% above the last reported sale price of Fathom's common stock on September 26, 2024. The 2024 Notes will mature on October 1, 2026, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2024 Notes may not be converted by either purchaser into shares of common stock if such conversion would result in the purchaser and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 19.99% of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
On April 13, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Holder”) and issued a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $3.5 million (the “2023 Note”), in a private placement (combined with the 2024 Offering, the “Offerings”).

The cash proceeds to the Company from the issuance of the 2023 Note were $3.3 million, after deducting the placement agent fee and approximately $25,000 in purchaser expenses. The Company repaid $3.5 million upon maturity in April 2025.
In connection with the Offerings, the Company also entered into Security Agreements pursuant to which the 2024 Note is secured by all existing and future assets of the Company.
Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The methodology establishes consistency and comparability by providing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (these are observable market inputs).
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability (includes quoted market prices for similar assets or identical or similar assets in markets in which there are few transactions, prices that are not current or prices that vary substantially).
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability (used when little or no market data is available).
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where evaluated. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure the financial instruments are recorded at fair value.
While management believes its valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Mortgage loans held for sale – Management determines the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary-market prices or purchaser commitments. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan, which would be used by other market participants. The loans are considered Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments – Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are unobservable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. These instruments are Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value determination of each derivative financial instrument categorized as Level 3 required one or more of the following unobservable inputs:
Agreed prices from Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLC”);
Trading prices for derivative instruments; and
Closing prices at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for derivative instruments.
The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (amounts in thousands):
| September 30, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| Mortgage loans held for sale | $— | $9,091 | $— | $9,091 |
| Derivative assets | — | — | 44 | 44 |
| Derivative liabilities | — | — | (11) | (11) |
| $— | $9,091 | $33 | $9,124 | |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| Mortgage loans held for sale | $— | $4,772 | $— | $4,772 |
| Derivative assets | — | — | 26 | 26 |
| $— | $4,772 | $26 | $4,798 | |
The Company enters into IRLCs to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specific period of time (generally between 30 and 90 days), with customers who have applied for a loan and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These IRLCs meet the definition of a derivative and are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other service revenue on the consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets and derivative liabilities, respectively, are measured based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted agency mortgage-backed security (“MBS”) prices, estimates of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC, net of commission expense and broker fees. The fair value of the forward loan sales commitment and mandatory delivery commitments being used to hedge the IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale not committed to purchasers are based on quoted agency MBS prices.
Note 10. Leases
Operating Leases
The Company has operating leases primarily consisting of office space with remaining lease terms of less thanone year tosix years, subject to certain renewal options as applicable.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or fewer are not recorded on the balance sheet, and the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. There areno material residual guarantees associated with any of the Company’s leases, and there are no significant restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements. Certain leases include variable payments related to common area maintenance and property taxes, which are billed by the landlord, as is customary with these types of charges for office space.
Our lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company used a benchmark approach to derive an appropriate imputed discount rate. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies of similar credit ratings to derive an imputed rate, which was used in a portfolio approach to discount its real estate lease liabilities. The Company used estimated incremental borrowing rates for all active leases.
The table below presents certain information related to lease costs for the Company’s operating leases (amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |

| Short-term lease expense | 136 | 138 | 427 | 433 |
| Total lease cost | $499 | $489 | $1,490 | $1,629 |
The following table presents the weighted average remaining lease term and the weighted average discount rate related to operating leases:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |

Note 11. Shareholders’ Equity
On March 10, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an expenditure of up to $10.0 million for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock. The share repurchase program does not have a fixed expiration. Under the program, repurchases can be made from time-to-time using a variety of methods, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The actual timing and amount of future repurchases are subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, stock price, acquisition opportunities and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. There wereno equity repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the full year ended December 31, 2024, leaving approximately $4.0 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.
The Company issued an equity-classified warrant to an underwriter in August 2020 (the “Underwriter Warrant”) to purchase 240,100 shares of common stock. The Underwriter Warrant had an exercise price of $11.00 per share and was exercisable at any time through August 4, 2025, at which time it expired unexercised.
In March 2025, the Company completed the March 2025 Offering, which resulted in the issuance and sale by the Company of 3,505,364 shares of common stock at an offering price of $0.68 per share and 832,639 shares of common stock at an offering price of $0.72 per share, generating gross proceeds of $3.0 million, of which the Company received total net proceeds of $2.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs. The Company issued and sold shares of its common stock to certain investors and members of the Company’s Board.
In September 2025, the Company completed the September 2025 Offering, which resulted in the issuance and sale by the Company of 3,450,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $2.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $6.9 million, of which the Company received total net proceeds of $6.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs. The Company issued and sold shares of its common stock to certain investors.

Note 14. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stock
Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. Diluted loss per share excludes, when applicable, the potential impact of stock options, unvested shares of restricted stock awards, and common stock warrants because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to net loss.
The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stock was as follows (amounts in thousands except share data):
| Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net loss attributable to common stock—basic and diluted | $(4,357) | $(8,121) | $(13,594) | $(15,342) |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding | 29,569,936 | 20,429,791 | 26,844,457 | 19,792,773 |
| Net loss per share attributable to common stock—basic and diluted | $(0.15) | $(0.40) | $(0.51) | $(0.78) |
The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stock for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Stock options | 147,707 | 147,707 | 147,707 | 147,707 |
| Non-vested restricted stock awards | 138,408 | 826,315 | 138,408 | 826,315 |
| Non-vested restricted stock units | 2,270,600 | 2,777,715 | 2,270,600 | 2,777,715 |
| Common stock warrants | 240,100 | 240,100 | 240,100 | 240,100 |
| Convertible debt | 1,176,471 | 1,759,804 | 1,176,471 | 1,759,804 |
Note 15. Income Taxes
In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used the annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income. The Company’s annual estimated effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of state taxes, permanent differences, and changes in the Company’s valuation allowance. The income tax effects of unusual or infrequent items including a change in the valuation allowance as a result of a change in judgment regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate and are required to be discretely recognized in the interim period they occur.
The Company has historically maintained a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and reported only minimal current state tax expense. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.02 million and $0.10 million, respectively, and $0.02 million and $0.03 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company expects to maintain a valuation allowance on current year remaining net deferred tax assets by year-end due to historical operating losses, but records a net deferred tax liability when reversals of deferred tax liabilities that relate to indefinite-live intangible assets may not be used in realizing deferred tax assets.
The Company applies the standards on uncertainty in income taxes contained in ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The application of this interpretation did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company didnot have any significant unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024. Due to the Company's carryforward of net operating losses, the statute of limitations remains open subsequent to and including the year ended December 31, 2015.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "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 has assessed the legislation and the impact of these provisions on our consolidated financial statements. The legislation does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 16. Segment Reporting
The Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), who is responsible for evaluating the performance of the Company's operating segments and allocating resources. The Company identifies an operating segment as a component: (i) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) that has available discrete financial information; and (iii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM. The Company does not conduct business outside of the United States and no single customer accounts for more than 10% of total revenue in any reporting period.
Our CODM makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on the services of identified operating segments and has identified three operating and reportable segments: Real Estate Brokerage; Mortgage; and Technology. Through its Real Estate Brokerage segment, the Company provides real estate brokerage services. Through its Mortgage segment, the Company provides residential loan origination and underwriting services. Through its Technology segment, the Company provides SaaS solutions and data mining for third party customers and continues to develop its intelliAgent platform for current use by the Company’s real estate agents.
The CODM reviews revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate financial performance of the reportable segments and to allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA represents the revenues of the operating segment less operating expenses directly attributable to the respective operating segment. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss), excluding other income and expense, costs related to acquisitions, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense. In particular, the Company believes the exclusion of non-cash share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and stock options and transaction-related costs provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operations and provides better transparency into our results of operations. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
The Company has determined that the main expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM in assessing segment performance are:
Compensation Expense – Includes salaries and wages for personnel across the Real Estate Brokerage, Mortgage, Technology, and Corporate and Other Services functions.
Commission Expense – Includes commissions and related agent payments incurred in connection with revenue-generating transactions, across the Real Estate Brokerage, Mortgage, Technology, and Corporate and Other Services functions.
These expenses are presented within the segment disclosures below as they represent the most significant cost drivers impacting the Company’s operating segments and are used by management in evaluating performance, allocating resources, and assessing operating efficiency.
The Company has updated its segment reporting to include compensation and commission expenses as separate line items for each reportable segment beginning in fiscal year 2024. Prior-period segment disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company does not allocate assets to its operating segments as they are not included in the review performed by the CODM for purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The balance sheet is managed on a consolidated basis and is not used in the context of segment reporting.
Key operating data for the reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are set forth in the tables below (amounts in thousands):

Note 17. Sale of Business
On May 3, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Dagley Insurance Agency operations (the "Disposal Group"), which was included in the Company's Corporate and Other Services segment, back to the former owner. The aggregate selling price was $15.0 million, excluding closing adjustments, of which approximately (i) $7.4 million, net of closing adjustments, was received by the Company in cash at closing, (ii) $1.0 million in cash was received in February 2025 and $3.0 million was received in April 2025, and (iii) $3.0 million will be received in cash on the second anniversary of the closing date. The total gain on the transaction was approximately $3.0 million, which is recorded in the Gain on sale of business in the consolidated statements of earnings.
The Disposal Group did not meet the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations as the sale did not materially affect the Company's operations and did not represent a strategic shift for the Company. Our consolidated earnings from operations for the first four months of 2024 included net loss of $0.3 million from Dagley Insurance Agency.

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In September 2024, Fathom Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fathom Holdings Inc. (the Company) reached a nationwide settlement related to claims asserted in Burnett v. The National Association of Realtors, et al. As part of the settlement, Fathom Realty will pay $500,000 into a settlement fund within five days after the settlement is formally approved by the court, $500,000 on October 1, 2025, and $1.95 million on or before October 1, 2026. The Company has included $1.0 million in accrued and other current liabilities and $1.95 million in other long-term liabilities in its balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. Fathom Realty has also agreed to adhere to the rule changes put forth by the NAR.
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 28, 2023, the Company has been named as a defendant in a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Sherman Division, filed on November 13, 2023, by plaintiffs QJ Team, LLC and Five Points Holdings, LLC, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated. A second purported class action complaint was filed on December 14, 2023, by plaintiffs Julie Martin, Mark Adams and Adelaida Matta in the same court, naming the Company as a defendant along with others, many of whom are also named in the first lawsuit. These lawsuits are purportedly brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons who listed properties on a Multiple Listing Service in Texas (the "MLS") using a listing agent or broker affiliated with one of the defendants named in the lawsuits and paid a buyer broker commission beginning on November 13, 2019. The lawsuits allege unlawful conspiracy in violation of federal antitrust law and, against certain defendants (but not the Company) deceptive trade practices under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The Company opted into a settlement between a nationwide plaintiff class and the NAR by executing a Supplemental Settlement Agreement in June 2024 (the "NAR Settlement"). On November 26, 2024, the court approved the NAR Settlement over objections. The final approval order is currently being appealed, and the Company is actively monitoring. If the NAR Settlement is sustained on appeal, it is expected to resolve claims against the Company related to this matter.
A third purported class action complaint was filed on April 11, 2024, by plaintiffs Shauntell Burton, Benny D. Cheatham, Robert Douglass, Douglas Fender, and Dana Fender in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. Like the Texas lawsuits, the South Carolina lawsuit alleges unlawful conspiracy in violation of federal antitrust law and is purportedly brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons who used a listing broker in the sale of a home listed on an MLS in the District of South Carolina beginning on November 6, 2019. The case is currently stayed pending the final approval of the settlement between a nationwide plaintiff class and the NAR. As discussed above, the Company opted into a settlement between a nationwide plaintiff class and the NAR by executing a Supplemental Settlement Agreement in June 2024, which the Court approved over objections on November 26, 2024. The final approval order is currently being appealed, and the Company is actively monitoring. If the NAR Settlement is sustained on appeal it is expected to resolve claims against the Company related to this matter.
A fourth purported class action was filed on September 26, 2024, on behalf of buyers of residential property nationwide, and with an Illinois-specific sub-class, against Fathom Realty, LLC and other real estate brokers. In the complaint, the Plaintiffs allege that Defendants conspired to raise buyer broker commissions in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, the Illinois Antitrust Act, and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. On December 16, 2024, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, and the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in January 2025. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action.
My Home Group, which the Company acquired on November 1, 2024, is a defendant in an active lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, filed in January 2024. In September 2025, the plaintiff filed for preliminary approval of a settlement agreement. The Company estimates the total cost of the settlement to be approximately $1.0 million. The Company has included $0.5 million in accrued and other current liabilities and $0.5 million in other long-term liabilities in its balance sheet as of September 30, 2025.
Fathom Realty, LLC is a defendant in an active lawsuit filed in August 2024 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. In September 2025, the court granted preliminary approval of a settlement agreement. The Company estimates the total cost of the settlement to be approximately $1.0 million. The Company has included $1.0 million in accrued and other current liabilities in its balance sheet as of September 30, 2025.
Other than the NAR settlement, the My Home Group settlement (filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona) and the Fathom Realty LLC settlement (filed in the United District Court for the Southern District of
Florida) above, we cannot predict with certainty the cost of our defense, the cost of prosecution, insurance coverage, or the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits and any others that might be filed in the future, including remedies or damage awards. Adverse results in such litigation might harm our business and financial condition. Moreover, defending these lawsuits, regardless of their merits, could entail substantial expense and require the time and attention of our key management personnel.
Assets in Escrow
In conducting its operations, the Company routinely holds customers’ assets in escrow, pending completion of real estate transactions, and is responsible for the proper disposition of these balances for its customers. Certain of these amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and have not been included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consistent with GAAP and industry practice. The balance amounted to $5.1 million and $1.9 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Encompass Net Worth Requirements
To maintain approval from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate as a Title II non-supervised mortgagee, our indirect subsidiary Encompass is required to have adjusted net worth of $1.0 million as of each December 31 and must maintain liquid assets (cash, cash equivalents, or readily convertible instruments) of at least $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2024, Encompass had adjusted net worth of approximately $2.3 million and liquid assets of $2.3 million.
Commitments to Extend Credit
Encompass enters into IRLCs with borrowers who have applied for residential mortgage loans and have met certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose Encompass to market risk if interest rates change and the underlying loan is not economically hedged or committed to a purchaser. Encompass is also exposed to credit loss if the loan is originated and not sold to a purchaser and the mortgagor does not perform. The collateral upon extension of credit is typically a first deed of trust in the mortgagor’s residential property. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.
Regulatory Commitments
Encompass is subject to periodic audits and examinations, both formal and informal in nature, from various federal and state agencies, including those made as part of the regulatory oversight of mortgage origination, servicing and financing activities. Such audits and examinations could result in additional actions, penalties or fines by state or federal government bodies, regulators or the courts.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
