LAKEWOOD, N.J., Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI; RELIW) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”), today provided a business update and reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance, commented, "We are pleased to report a 12% and 21% year-over-year increase in revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2023 respectively, which primarily reflects the organic growth of the business, having acquired Barra Associates, in April 2022. Since that acquisition and subsequent rebranding as RELI Exchange, we have experienced continued growth of the agency network. Even though we made significant investments in RELI Exchange, we reduced our loss from operations by more than 30% in the first half of 2023 over the same period last year and our working capital has increased by $6.8 million or 150% since the end of fiscal year 2022. We view RELI Exchange as central to the long-term strategic plan and growth for the Company, and we are extremely pleased with our progress to date. By providing independent agencies a comprehensive suite of business tools, powered by the latest technologies and AI capabilities, the platform empowers these agents to not only compete but often surpass larger national agencies in their offerings.”
“As we look to the future, we are also consolidating our standalone agencies under Reliance Global Group, which we believe will provide significant benefits and efficiencies. We believe this consolidation would immediately boost the Company’s market presence across the U.S. by allowing Reliance Global Group to operate under one brand across all business lines. We expect it would also enhance our commission and bonus structure with the carriers due to volume, as well as increase cross-selling and enable better utilization of our talent across the organization within their respective insurance specialties.”
Moshe Fishman, Director of Insurtech and Operations, added, “With the bulk of the investment in RELI Exchange now completed and solid performance across our operating subsidiaries, we have successfully constructed what we believe is a highly scalable business model. Moreover, as an insurance agency, we do not face the industry headwinds or risk exposure of the carriers. In fact, rising premiums can have a positive impact on our margins and is often a catalyst for a large portion of the 300+ million American consumers to look for quotes elsewhere and replace their current policies with policies offering more value and a better price. As we continue to organically grow our platform and expand our reach across the U.S., we believe we are poised to succeed in the near term while also setting the stage for significant, sustained long-term future growth. We are confident that our strategic, cost-efficient, and differentiated approach to the market will drive substantial long-term returns for our shareholders.”
The Company’s complete financial results are available in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today.
