(NASDAQ: LRHC) (\u201cLa Rosa\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a real estate and PropTech enterprise, today announced the sale of its 51% ownership interest in Horeb Kissimmee Realty LLC (\u201cLR Kissimmee\u201d) for $0.5 million. The transaction represents the divestiture of a non-core office operation and marks a significant step in strengthening the Company\u2019s balance sheet, eliminating unproductive expenses, and reallocating capital toward higher-return initiatives. <\/p>\n

The divested office represents approximately 10% of the Company\u2019s total agent base and removes an operating component that was not generating positive cash flow from the Company\u2019s consolidated financials, with no material impact on core agent growth or the Company\u2019s regional footprint. Management intends to redirect capital and focus toward core brokerage growth, technology development, ancillary services, and profitability-driven operations.<\/p>\n

In connection with the sale, La Rosa entered into a one-year Trademark & Brand Licensing Agreement (the \u201cLicensing Agreement\u201d) with LR Kissimmee. Pursuant to the Licensing Agreement, La Rosa granted LR Kissimmee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use certain of the Company\u2019s trademarks and branding in connection with its real estate brokerage business. The agreement also provides LR Kissimmee with continued access to the Company\u2019s technology platform, including My Agent and JAEME. This structure allows La Rosa to maintain brand presence in the Kissimmee market while transitioning away from majority ownership and direct operational responsibility.<\/p>\n

Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa, commented, \u201cThis transaction reflects disciplined capital allocation, at a time when we believe our public market valuation does not fully reflect the intrinsic value of our assets and platform. The $0.5 million valuation for a 51% interest in LR Kissimmee implies a total enterprise valuation of approximately $1.0 million for a single office representing roughly 10% of the Company\u2019s agent base. In comparison, La Rosa Holdings operates 24 corporate-owned offices, multiple ancillary service lines, and a proprietary technology platform, underscoring what management believes is a significant disconnect between the Company\u2019s current public market valuation and the intrinsic value of its operating assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, it removes an operating component that was not generating positive cash flow from our consolidated financials and has no material impact on our core agent growth or regional footprint. In addition, we entered into a one-year Licensing Agreement, which allows us to continue generating brand and platform-related revenue from the Kissimmee operation without the capital requirements of majority ownership. We continue to strengthen our financial position, streamline our operations, and are redeploying capital toward core brokerage growth, technology, ancillary services, and other profitability-driven initiatives,\u201d concluded, Mr. La Rosa.<\/p>\n
