Speaker #4: Ezra .

Speaker #5: Thanks , Ted . Good afternoon , and thank you , everyone for joining us today . The third quarter marked another important step forward in reliance , transformation and execution of our long term growth strategy .

Speaker #5: During the quarter , we completed the $5 million sale of Fortmann Insurance Services , a wholly owned subsidiary that had been part of our portfolio since 2019 .

Speaker #5: The transaction was an important strategic , strategic step in our broader effort to streamline operations and focus resources on higher margin , technology driven business segments .

Speaker #5: Fortmann was a solid , well-managed business that performed well under our ownership . The sale allowed us to realize the value we had created since the acquisition and redeploy that capital toward initiatives with greater long term scalability and alignment with our strategic priorities .

Speaker #5: We completed the sale monetizing the asset at an approximate $3 million gain , which reflects both the operational value built over time and the disciplined execution of our portfolio strategy .

Speaker #5: The proceeds added capital to our balance sheet , which we immediately used to reduce long term debt by approximately 50% , significantly improving our financial flexibility and enabling us to focus on scaling higher margin businesses .

Speaker #5: Business segments . Through our rely Exchange platform . As a result of this and other prudent financial management steps taken , our unrestricted cash rose by approximately 590% , or $2.6 million , compared to the prior fiscal year end .

Speaker #5: While working capital increased by 1.2 million , or 284% , and equity grew by 3.7 million , or 125% . Together , these achievements demonstrate our continued progress in building a stronger , more resilient balance sheet that supports sustainable growth as expected , the sale of Voortman reduced short term commission income , reflecting the divestiture of the asset .

Speaker #5: However , the transaction also eliminated related salary , expenses and contributed to a leaner , more efficient operating model . At the same time , we continue to advance our rely exchange platform .

Speaker #5: The cornerstone of our insured growth strategy . With the launch of our new client Service Center , a major enhancement that streamlines how our agency partners operate .

Speaker #5: The service Center provides centralized support for day to day policy administration , including coverage changes , mortgage clause updates , and renewals through a seamless white label digital interface .

Speaker #5: This allows partners to focus on expanding their book of business and strengthening client relationships . While our in-house team efficiently manages servicing beyond behind the scenes by improving scalability , client satisfaction , and partner productivity .

Speaker #5: This initiative is creating a smarter , more efficient operating model that positions reliance for sustained profitability and long term value creation . The result is a smarter , more scalable model that improves client satisfaction , increases partner productivity , and reinforces our broader one firm strategy by integrating technology and centralized resources to enhance collaboration , reduce redundancy , and drive profitability across the platform .

Speaker #5: The Board of directors also approved the company's first special cash dividend of 0.3 cents per share . 0.03 per share , payable on or about December 22nd .

Speaker #5: I'm sorry , December 2nd , 2025 to shareholders of record as of October 30th , 2025 . This dividend is a meaningful way to reward our shareholders for their continued support as we execute on our growth strategy over the past several quarters , we've strengthened both our financial position and operating performance , and this distribution reflects our progress .

Speaker #5: It also demonstrates the disciplined approach we're taking to capital allocation, balancing reinvestment in our insurtech and agency operations with returning value directly to shareholders.

Speaker #5: The dividend aligns with our broader long term strategy , which includes the diversification of our Treasury through our digital Asset Treasury Initiative , or that the IT .

Speaker #5: Since launching the that earlier this year , we've taken a disciplined approach to building a measured and diversified position in leading digital assets , including Ethereum , Cardano , bitcoin , XRP and Solana .

Speaker #5: Each selected for its unique strengths from Bitcoin's scarcity and institutional adoption to Ethereum smart contract capabilities , Cardano sustainability and XRP's enterprise grade payment functionality and Solana speed and scalability .

Speaker #5: Guided by our own crypto advisory board , this initiative represents a forward looking extension of our capital strategy , balancing innovation with financial responsibility .

Speaker #5: It's more than a financial program . It's part of our vision to position reliance at the intersection of insurtech AI and blockchain innovation , enhancing our balance sheet , maintaining liquidity support , growth and creating long term growth for our shareholders .

Speaker #5: Looking ahead , we believe reliance a stronger and more focused than ever . Our actions this quarter , streamlining our operations , enhance enhancing technology , recording shareholders and positioning the company at the forefront of innovation have created a solid foundation for continued growth .

Speaker #5: We remain committed to executing with discipline , driving profitability and building long term value shareholders . And I'd like to turn the call over to Joel Markovits chief financial officer of Reliance Global , to review the financial results for the quarter ended September 30th , 2025 .

Speaker #5: Joel .

Speaker #6: Thank you very much , Ezra , and good afternoon . It's my pleasure to review some of our key financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30th , 2025 .

Speaker #6: Thank you very much , Ezra , and good afternoon . It's my pleasure to review some of our key financial highlights for the quarter for our approximate .

Speaker #6: Let's start with liquidity . As Ezra mentioned , it was significantly strengthened through prudent financial management and unrestricted cash increased by approximately 590% to $2.6 million , an increase of $2.2 million compared to the prior fiscal year end and continuing with the comparison to the 2024 fiscal year end working capital increased by $1.2 million , or 284% , to $1.6 million .

Speaker #6: And equity increased by $3.7 million , or 125% , to $6.8 million . Reflecting our continued focus on strengthening our balance sheet and maintaining financial flexibility to support our growth initiatives .

Speaker #6: Switching gears to the income statement . Commission income totaled $2.5 million for this quarter , compared to 3.4 million in 2020 . For the change is primarily driven by the decrease in revenue following the asset sale of footmen and lower medical commission revenues .

Speaker #6: Commission expense was $1 million for this quarter , compared to 0.9 million in 2020 . For a slight increase is primarily influenced by market conditions and inherent competitiveness across the insurance sector .

Speaker #6: Salaries and wages were $3.9 million this quarter , versus 1.7 million in 2024 . Change is primarily attributed to non-cash equity grants , partially offset by decreased payroll pursuant to the footman subsidiary Asset Sale .

Speaker #6: General and administrative expenses came in at $1.1 million this quarter , versus 0.8 million in 2020 . For a change , is primarily attributed to non-employee , non-cash equity payments , partially offset by less costs pursuant to the formal sale , once farm efficiencies and overall leaner operations , we recognized a gain on sale from the Foreman subsidiary transaction of $3 million .

Speaker #6: Net loss for the quarter was $1.2 million , compared to $0.8 million in the prior year . Change is primarily driven by the gain on sale from Fortman , but offset by non-cash equity compensation .

Speaker #6: Adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter and non-GAAP metric was $700,000 , compared to a gain of $40,000 in 2024 , and the change is primarily attributed to the fluctuations we discussed in the commission accounts .

Speaker #6: In summary , I'd like to stress that the third quarter reflected exciting progress across several key areas of our business , including one a much stronger balance sheet with increased cash , increased working capital , increased equity , and significantly reduced fixed debt .

Speaker #6: Two aliena a more efficient cost structure resulting from ongoing one firm integration and operational streamlining . Three our our strategic reinvestment in technology and the exchange platform to enhance scalability and partner productivity .

Speaker #6: Four the rollout and continued execution of our digital asset Treasury strategy , positioning , reliance at the forefront of innovation . In short , tech , AI and blockchain integration .
