Janover Reports Fiscal 2023 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Reports 54% Increase in Revenue Per Transaction in 2023

Revenue from Small Business Transactions Grows More Than 100% for Second Consecutive Year

Boca Raton, FL – March 28, 2024 – Janover Inc. (Nasdaq:  JNVR) (“Janover” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled platform for commercial real estate transactions, today provided a business update, and announced its financial results for the year-ended December 31, 2023.

Key Financials

· Revenue per transaction increased 54% year-over-year for the year-ended December 31, 2023;

· Revenue from Small Business transactions, which includes Small Business Administration (SBA), increased more than 100%, for the second consecutive year;

· Completed IPO in July 2023 and raised over $5.0 million in all common stock;

· Generated revenue of $2.0 million in 2023, versus $2.2 million in 2022, despite significant industry declines and Company’s focus on building the platform in 2023—positioning Janover for growth in 2024; and

· $5.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023.

2023 Operational Highlights

· Launched AI chatbot interface for commercial lenders under SaaS licensing model

· Acquired Groundbreaker Tech Inc., a recurring revenue SaaS platform, establishing a comprehensive marketplace for commercial real estate

· Launched share repurchase program

· Entered into strategic referral partnership with La Rosa Holdings (Nasdaq:LRHC)

· Entered into strategic partnership with Xchange.Loans to capitalize on market dislocation

· Achieved significant growth and engagement with top credit unions

· Inaugurated real estate advisory board

· Appointed finance veteran Bruce S. Rosenbloom, CPA as CFO

· Launched new AI capabilities to further strengthen its fintech marketplace

Blake Janover, CEO of Janover, stated, “In 2023, our Company achieved significant milestones, including our listing on the Nasdaq exchange in July and the acquisition of Groundbreaker in November, signaling the beginning of our transition to recurring revenue. Despite facing significant macro-economic challenges including the material increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve, and disruptions in the banking and commercial real estate sector, we emerged far ahead of most of our peers and incumbents in multiple categories.  Moreover, with the substantial investments we made in 2023 in our sales and marketing capabilities and in artificial intelligence, we believe we have built a solid foundation and now have a highly scalable infrastructure, which we believe will support future growth and meaningful returns for our shareholders in the years ahead.

“Revenue from small business transactions (which is primarily derived from SBA loans for commercial real estate) has more than doubled each of the last two years, highlighting our continued success in this new and exciting category. Furthermore, as discussed in our third quarter press release, our focus on enhancing revenue per transaction continues to bear fruit, evidenced by the 54% year-over-year increase in revenue per transaction for the year-ended December 31, 2023. With $5.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023, we are well positioned to execute our strategic initiatives and fuel our growth.

“Our AI-enabled platform drives value directly to customers and employees, improving each transaction along the way. Our expanding product suite tailored to commercial real estate enterprises and small and medium businesses is delighting owners, operators, and lenders alike.  

“In summary, Janover is dedicated to building a resilient mix of high-quality products to deliver deeper and deeper value to our customers and, as a byproduct, our shareholders. I am very excited about what lies ahead and am confident in our ability to execute and scale our enterprise."

Financial Results

Revenue for the year-ended December 31, 2023, was $2.0 million compared to $2.2 million for the year-ended December 31, 2022. The revenue decline was due to the ongoing market disruption within the commercial real estate sector. However, the downward pressure on the commercial real estate financing business was offset by strong growth in the SBA and SMB business, which more than doubled over the past two fiscal years.  Sales and marketing expenses for the year-ended December 31, 2023, were $2.0 million, compared to $1.6 million for the year-ended December 31, 2022. The majority of the increase was due to increased compensation, benefits and stock-based compensation expense during fiscal 2023, due to increases in employees and the issuance of common stock upon the IPO for services, cancellation of employee stock options and issuance of common stock in connection with the IPO, compared to the same period in 2022. Net loss was $3.4 million, or $0.40 basic and diluted loss per share, for the year-ended December 31, 2023, compared to net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.18 basic and diluted loss per share, for the year-ended December 31, 2022.  Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.9 million, or $0.22 basic and diluted loss per share, for the year-ended December 31, 2023, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.2 million, or $0.17 basic and diluted loss per share, for the year-ended December 31, 2022.  Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share are non-GAAP financial measures (defined below).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors and the market with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share, non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net loss excluding; stock-based compensation expense; depreciation; and other income (expense). We have provided reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net loss and adjusted EBITDA per share to earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share, herein, because they are key measures used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors.
