Financial Performance

Q3 2024 revenue increased 11% YoY to $692.6 million, with Multifamily and CoStar segments contributing the most to the growth. However, Information Services revenue declined by 26% YoY, offsetting some gains. This indicates a deceleration in growth compared to previous periods and varying performance across segments.

Net income for Q3 2024 decreased by 42% YoY to $53.0 million, primarily due to a 20% increase in operating expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased by 24%, indicating higher investment in customer acquisition and retention, which impacted profitability.

Gross profit margin remained consistent at 80% despite a 14% increase in the cost of revenues. This suggests effective cost management in relation to revenue generation, although the increased costs still impacted net income.
