- Title Settlement and Insurance revenue increased by approximately $22 thousand to $99 thousand, or approx. 28.4% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 from $77 thousand for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025
- Gross profit increased by approximately $456 thousand, or 29.6%, year-over-year, to $2.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 from $1.5 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025

- As of March 31, 2026, the Company had unrestricted cash of approximately $1.7 million compared to $3.1 million as of December 31, 2025
- Reported $8.1 million in digital assets on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, compared to no digital asset holdings in the prior-year period
Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa, commented, “Our first quarter results reflect continued progress in strengthening the quality of our business. While market conditions impacted overall revenue, we delivered meaningful improvements in our operating performance, with gross profit increasing nearly 30%, operating expenses declining 27.6%, and our loss from continuing operations improving by more than 46% year over year. We also continued to see strong momentum in our commercial real estate brokerage business, where revenue increased more than 379%, and further growth in our title services business. These results demonstrate the benefits of our disciplined approach to expense management, operational efficiency, and expanding higher-margin revenue streams across our platform.”
“Beyond our operating performance, we remain focused on executing our long-term strategic vision. During the quarter, we established an $8.1 million digital asset position on our balance sheet, further strengthening our strategic asset base as we continue to evaluate opportunities that can enhance long-term shareholder value. We also continue to make progress on our proposed acquisition of Consensus Core Technologies, which we believe would position La Rosa at the intersection of real estate and next-generation AI infrastructure. While the previously announced letter of intent remains non-binding and there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or the transaction ultimately completed, we are encouraged by the progress of our discussions and continue working toward a definitive agreement which we expect in the near term, subject to customary approvals and closing conditions,” concluded Mr. La Rosa.
