New York, NY - July 30, 2025 - Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP) (“Compass” or “the Company”), a leading tech-enabled real estate services company that includes the largest residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“Compass delivered the best quarterly results in our history, marked by ten all-time highs, including market share, Revenue, GAAP Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, T&E revenue, T&E attach, and weekly agent sessions on the platform” said Robert Reffkin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Compass. Reffkin added, “a record 832 principal agents also joined Compass organically in Q2, making it the highest quarter for principal agent adds in our history. This, combined with our 97.5% quarterly principal agent retention rate, demonstrates that Compass’ value proposition is stronger than ever. In the second quarter, we also continued to widen the gap against the industry as we grew organic transactions by 6.3% and total transactions by 20.9% compared to market transactions, which declined by 0.9% year-over-year. This means organic and total transactions outgrew the market by roughly 7% and 22%, respectively. For 17 consecutive quarters, spanning our entire history as a public company, Compass has outperformed the market on an organic basis. There has never been a quarter since we started measuring this metric where we haven't grown faster than the market. Organic quarterly market share grew 40 basis points year-over-year and total quarterly market share grew 96 basis points year-over-year to 6.09%, which is our highest market share in company history.”

Reffkin continued, “As our Q2 results clearly show, Compass continues to outperform the market, giving us even more confidence that as the market normalizes, we are positioned to drive significant upside long-term.”

Kalani Reelitz, Chief Financial Officer of Compass said, “I am very pleased with our record Q2 results, which demonstrate that we are executing well against our long-term strategy. In the quarter, we grew revenue by 21.1%, Adjusted EBITDA by 63%, and GAAP net income by 90.3% year-over-year. Furthermore, in Q2 2025, we also generated record positive operating cash flow of $72.8 million and free cash flow of $68 million, which demonstrates our ability to consistently generate free cash flow.”

  • Product highlights from Q2 2025 include:

     

  • Compass Make-Me-Sell:

    A feature on our platform that allows homeowners to share an aspirational price with their agent, which would compel them to move, continues to gain traction, with approximately 16,770 entries at the end of Q2 2025, compared to 12,500 at the end of Q1 2025. Over time, we believe this tool will help convert a portion of our 100+ million CRM contacts into passive ‘willing-to-sell’ inventory that will only be available to Compass agents.

     

  • Compass One-Click Title & Escrow (T&E) Integration:

    A feature in our platform that allows agents to seamlessly order T&E continues to drive our attach rates higher as we observe agents who utilize the integration attaching at an approximately 2x higher-rate than agents who have not used One-Click T&E.

     

  • Compass One:

    Launched in early 2025, Compass One is the industry’s premier all-in-one client dashboard, designed to connect buyers and sellers with their agent, providing 24/7 transparency before, during, and after the transaction. In Q2, agents chose to use Compass One with 116,000 clients.

  • Compass Reverse Prospecting:

    Launched in late 2024, Reverse Prospecting provides homeowners with exclusive insights such as real-time updates on how often agents and their clients are viewing, commenting on, favoriting, or sharing listings across the Compass platform. We’ve seen 115% growth in the number of transactions that used Reverse Prospecting to match buyers and sellers quarter-over-quarter.
