SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caliber (Nasdaq: CWD), a diversified real estate and digital asset management platform, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. Caliber enters 2026 with a streamlined platform and a clear path toward revenue growth and profitability, driven by the expected execution of project-level financings and continued capital formation activities.

Fourth Quarter 2025 (compared to Fourth Quarter 2024)

• Platform revenue of $4.0 million, compared to $4.6 million
  • Asset management revenue of $4.0 million drove the stated results
• Platform net loss of $7.7 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to Platform net loss of $11.6 million, or $10.34 per diluted share
  • Results largely impacted by $5.1 million unrealized loss in Caliber’s LINK treasury, driven by the change in fair value of digital assets
• Platform Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.4 million, compared to Platform Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.0 million
  

Full Year 2025 Platform Financial Highlights (compared to Full Year 2024)

• Platform revenue of $15.2 million, compared to $20.9 million
  • Asset management revenue of $15.2 million reflecting the timing of project financings and development activity, drove the stated results
• Platform net loss of $21.2 million, or $7.50 per diluted share, compared to Platform net loss of $19.6 million, or $17.86 per diluted share
  • Losses largely impacted by $5.8 million change in fair value of digital assets
• Platform Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.4 million, compared to Platform Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.7 million
• Fair value assets under management (“FV AUM”) of $779.7 million, a 1.9% decrease compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to disposition of three hospitality assets and various land parcels, partially offset by the acquisition of a self-storage property and a land parcel intended for hotel development
• Managed capital of $517.2 million, a 5.0% increase compared to December 31, 2024, with originations of $26.5 million, partially offset by return of capital of $1.9 million
  

The year-over-year decrease in platform revenue was primarily driven by the timing of development and financing activities, as several projects progressed but did not reach revenue-generating milestones within the fiscal year.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Digital Asset Treasury Financial Highlights

• Caliber’s digital asset treasury held 562,535 of LINK tokens valued at $6.9 million as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.
• Caliber staked 75,000 LINK tokens directly with a top echelon node operator for the Chainlink oracle network, commencing the process of generating yield on its treasury assets.
• Caliber began the process of tokenizing two real estate projects, which is expected to enhance investor liquidity, improve transparency, and expand future fundraising capabilities through tokenized offerings.
  

Management Commentary

“While 2025 was impacted by delays in capital markets activity, our underlying assets and development projects continued to advance, positioning us for what we expect to be meaningful revenue realization as project financings close.” said Chris Loeffler, CEO of Caliber.   “Management’s efforts to streamline our real estate platform and narrow our focus toward hospitality and multifamily investments gives us the confidence to offer forward-looking guidance on our anticipated financial results for 2026”

“We are encouraged by the early progress of our digital asset strategy and believe blockchain technology has the potential to enhance liquidity, broaden investor access, and expand capital formation for our funds. We see a clear opportunity for Caliber to participate in the evolution of real estate investing as tokenization becomes more widely adopted.”

2026 Outlook and Path to Profitability

Caliber enters 2026 with what management believes is a path to profitability driven by the anticipated conversion of the Company’s existing project pipeline into realized revenue. The Company’s platform generates the majority of its revenues from asset management, development, and financing activities tied to its portfolio of real estate projects.

During 2025, revenue generation was impacted by delays in capital markets activity, which affected the timing of project financings and related fee realization. Importantly, management believes that these delays did not reduce the underlying value of the Company’s assets or its embedded revenue opportunities but instead shifted the timing of when those revenues are expected to be recognized.

For 2026, Caliber expects a significant increase in revenue driven by:

• Execution of project-level financings across its existing portfolio, which are expected to generate development, financing, and transaction-related fees
• Continued growth in managed capital through new fundraising initiatives
• Monetization of development projects as they reach key milestones
  

The Company expects 2026 revenue to be in the range of $18.0 million to $22.0 million with approximately 60% of its anticipated 2026 revenue growth to be driven by debt financing-related activities within its existing portfolio, with the remaining 40% of revenue growth driven by capital formation and asset management activities.

Based on current visibility into its project pipeline and financing initiatives, Caliber believes it is well positioned to achieve adjusted EBITDA profitability and positive net operating income in 2026.

Platform Definition

Within this earnings release, we refer to performance results of the “Platform”. Platform refers to the performance of CWD itself, excluding the performance of certain assets & funds that are included in our consolidated results, as required by the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that Platform performance offers the most meaningful information needed to understand the value of CWD. The assets and funds that are consolidated into our GAAP presentation are included because Caliber is a guarantor of debt held by these assets and funds.

While GAAP consolidation rules require CWD to include the performance and cash flows of these assets & funds in our consolidated financial information, CWD does not benefit from the performance of those assets & funds, except to the extent that CWD earns fees from managing the assets and funds (which are included in the Platform results). Management believes presenting Platform results, which exclude consolidated assets, directly shows the business performance that CWD stockholders benefit from.

Consolidated GAAP Results

The following information presents our consolidated GAAP results which includes the performance of certain entities we manage where Caliber is the guarantor of debt owed by those entities, despite not having significant equity at risk. As a result of these guarantor commitments, Caliber is required under GAAP to include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of those entities even though a shareholder of CWD stock is neither entitled to nor exposed by those entities’ benefits or obligations. This accounting outcome also removes revenues that we earn from those entities, which a shareholder of CWD stock would be entitled to. See discussion elsewhere related to CWD’s Platform performance.

Definitions 

Assets Under Management

AUM refers to the assets we manage or sponsor. We monitor two types of information with regard to our AUM:

1. Managed Capital – we define this as the total capital we fundraise from our customers as investments in our funds. It also includes fundraising into our corporate note program, the proceeds of which were used, in part, to invest in or loan to our funds. We use this information to monitor, among other things, the amount of ‘preferred return’ that would be paid at the time of a distribution and the potential to earn a performance fee over and above the preferred return at the time of the distribution. Our fund management fees are based on a percentage of managed capital or a percentage of assets under management, and monitoring the change and composition of managed capital provides relevant data points for Caliber management to further calculate and predict future earnings.
   
   
2. Fair Value (“FV”) AUM – we define this is as the aggregate fair value of the real estate assets we manage and from which we derive management fees, performance revenues and other fees and expense reimbursements. We estimate the value of these assets quarterly to help make sale and hold decisions and to evaluate whether an existing asset would benefit from refinancing or recapitalization. This also gives us insight into the value of our carried interest at any point in time. We also utilize FV AUM to predict the percentage of our portfolio which may need development services in a given year, fund management services (such as refinance), and brokerage services. As we control the decision to hire for these services, our service income is generally predictable based upon our current portfolio AUM and our expectations for AUM growth in the year forecasted.
   

Non-GAAP Measures

We use non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, make strategic decisions, and for other discretionary purposes. We believe that these measures enhance the understanding of ongoing operations and comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they provide investors a view of the performance attributable to CaliberCos Inc. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly identified measures of other companies because not all companies use the same calculations. These measures may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.

Asset Management Platform or Platform

Platform refers to the performance of the Caliber asset management platform, which generates revenues and expenses from managing our investment portfolio, which does not include any consolidated assets or funds. These activities include asset management, transaction services, and performance allocations. Management believes that this is an important view of the Company because it communicates performance of the Company that would be most useful for understanding the value of CWD.

Fee-Related Earnings and Related Components

Fee-Related Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure used to assess our ability to generate profits from fee-based revenues, focusing on whether our core revenue streams, are sufficient to cover our core operating expenses. Fee- Related Earnings represents the Company’s net income (loss) before income taxes adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense and extraordinary or non-recurring revenue and expenses, including performance allocation revenue and gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, public registration direct costs related to aborted or delayed offerings and our Reg A+ offering, litigation settlements, and expenses recorded to earnings relating to investment deals which were abandoned or closed. Fee-Related Earnings is presented on a basis that deconsolidates our consolidated funds (intercompany eliminations) and eliminates noncontrolling interest. Eliminating the impact of consolidated funds and noncontrolling interest provides investors a view of the performance attributable to CaliberCos Inc. and is consistent with performance models and analysis used by management.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure equal to Fee-Related Earnings plus performance allocation revenue and less interest expenses and provision for income taxes. We believe that Distributable Earnings can be useful as a supplemental performance measure to our GAAP results assessing the amount of earnings available for distribution.

Platform Earnings

Platform Earnings represents the performance of our asset management platform, which generates revenues and expenses from managing our investment portfolio, excluding any consolidated assets or funds.

Platform Earnings per Share

Platform Earnings per Share is calculated as Platform Earnings divided by weighted average CWD common shares outstanding.

Platform Adjusted EBITDA

Platform Adjusted EBITDA represents our Distributable Earnings adjusted for interest expense, other income (expense), and provision for income taxes on a basis that deconsolidates our consolidated funds (intercompany eliminations), and eliminates noncontrolling interest. Eliminating the impact of consolidated funds and noncontrolling interest provides investors a view of the performance attributable to the Platform and is consistent with performance models and analysis used by management.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents the Company’s and the consolidated funds’ earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, transaction fees, expenses and other public registration direct costs related to aborted or delayed offerings and our Reg A+ offering, litigation settlements, expenses recorded to earnings relating to investment deals which were abandoned or closed, any other non-cash expenses or losses, as further adjusted for extraordinary or non-recurring items.
