Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Compass, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 appearing under Item 15(a)2 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. Basis for Opinions The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 57 Table of Contents Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Revenue Recognition – Commissions Revenue As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company generates revenue by assisting home sellers and buyers in listing, marketing, selling and finding homes. The Company holds the real estate brokerage license that is necessary under relevant state laws and regulations to provide brokerage services and therefore controls those services that are necessary to legally transfer real estate between home sellers and buyers. Management concluded that its brokerage revenue contains a single performance obligation that is satisfied upon the closing of a real estate services transaction, at which point the entire transaction price is earned. Revenue is recognized upon the closing of a real estate transaction (i.e., purchase or sale of a home) since the Company is not entitled to any commission until the performance obligation is satisfied and is not owed any commission for unsuccessful transactions, even if services have been provided. The Company operates exclusively in the United States and generated revenue of $5,629.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, of which substantially all was generated from commissions from home sellers and buyers. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition - commissions revenue is a critical audit matter are a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to revenue recognition. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the commissions revenue process. These procedures also included, among others, testing the completeness, accuracy, and occurrence of revenue recognized for commissions revenues for a sample of revenue transactions by (i) obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as customer contracts and related closing documentation, (ii) recalculating the commissions revenue, and (iii) vouching to cash receipts, as applicable. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP New York , New York February 25, 2025 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014. 58 Table of Contents Compass, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Business Description of the Business Compass, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 4, 2012 under the name Urban Compass, Inc. The Company provides an end-to-end platform that empowers its residential real estate agents to deliver exceptional service to seller and buyer clients. The Company’s platform includes an integrated suite of cloud-based software for customer relationship management, marketing, client service and other critical functionality, all custom-built for the real estate industry, which enables the Company’s core brokerage services. The platform also uses proprietary data, analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to deliver high value recommendations and outcomes for Compass agents and their clients. The Company’s agents are independent contractors who affiliate their real estate licenses with the Company, operating their businesses on the Company’s platform and under the Compass brand. The Company generates revenue from clients through its agents by assisting home sellers and buyers in listing, marketing, selling and finding homes as well as through the provision of services adjacent to the transaction, like title and escrow services, which comprise a smaller portion of the Company’s revenue to date. The Company currently generates substantially all of its revenue from commissions paid by clients at the time that a home is transacted. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of entities acquired from the date of each respective acquisition. Consolidation The Company consolidates an entity if its ownership, direct or indirect, exceeds 50 % of the outstanding voting shares of an entity and/or it has the ability to control the financial or operating policies through its voting rights, board representation or other similar rights. Interests held by third parties in consolidated subsidiaries are presented as non-controlling interests, which represents the non-controlling stockholders’ interests in the underlying net assets of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. For entities where the Company does not have a controlling interest (financial or operating), the investments in such entities are accounted for using the equity method or at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, as appropriate. The Company applies the equity method of accounting when it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of an investee. The Company measures all other investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income or in the case that an equity investment does not have readily determinable fair values, at cost minus impairment (if any) plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to (i) valuation of the Company’s common stock and stock awards, (ii) fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, (iii) fair value of contingent consideration arrangements in connection with business combinations, (iv) incremental borrowing rate used for the Company’s operating leases, (v) useful lives of long-lived assets, (vi) impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, (vii) allowance for Compass Concierge receivables and (viii) income taxes and certain deferred tax assets. The Company determines its estimates and judgments on historical 63 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences may be material. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Compass, Inc. The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per common share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. Prior to conversion in connection with the IPO, the Company’s convertible preferred stock contractually entitled the holders of such shares to participate in dividends but does not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to Compass, Inc. is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to Compass, Inc., because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all investments with an original maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds and U.S. treasury securities . The Company’s accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable is stated as the amount billed, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). The Company’s ACL is adjusted periodically and is based on management’s consideration of the age and nature of the past due accounts as well as specific payment issues. Changes in the Company’s estimate to the ACL is recorded through bad debt expense and individual accounts are charged against the allowance when all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted. The following table summarizes the activity of the ACL for Accounts receivable (in millions): December 31, 2024 2023 Opening balance $ 8.6 $ 9.0 Changes in allowances ( 2.5 ) 3.6 Net write-offs and other ( 1.7 ) ( 4.0 ) Closing balance $ 4.4 $ 8.6 Prepaid Agent Incentives Other current assets and Other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets include prepaid agent incentives that represent cash payments made to certain agents as an incentive to associate their license with the Company. The prepaid agent incentives have a related service period requirement which provides for the repayment of such amounts if the agent disassociates from the Company prior to the completion of the specified service period. The value of these prepaid agent incentives are amortized within Sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the underlying service periods. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment is reported at cost net of any accumulated depreciation and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for maintenance, repair and renewals of minor items are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. 64 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company capitalizes costs associated with developing software systems that are in the application development stage. Software development costs that are incurred in the preliminary project stage and post-implementation stage are expensed as incurred. The useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: Description Useful Life Leasehold improvements Lesser of estimated useful life or remaining lease term Office furniture and equipment Five years Computer software and internally-developed software Three years Computer equipment Three years Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, consisting primarily of third-party legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred. Intangible Assets Intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of entities are accounted for using the acquisition method based on management’s estimate of the fair value of assets received. Intangible assets are finite lived and mainly consist of customer relationships, workforce and acquired technology and are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The useful lives were determined by estimating future cash flows generated by the acquired intangible assets. The Company amortizes these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives within the Company’s operating expenses. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets or asset groups (collectively, “asset groups”) may not be recoverable. This includes but is not limited to significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events that indicate an asset groups’ carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used is measured first by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such asset groups were considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No material impairment losses for long-lived assets have been recognized in any of the periods presented. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, as of October 1, or whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the reporting unit may be in excess of the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company has one reporting unit and tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. As part of the goodwill impairment test, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether 65 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements further impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of its qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a two-step impairment test is required. If factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative assessment and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. The Company has not recorded any impairments related to goodwill as of December 31, 2024. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception based on whether there is an identified asset and whether the Company controls the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company classifies leases as either financing or operating. The Company does not have any finance leases. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized at the lease commencement date and represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the remaining lease term. Present value of lease payments are discounted based on the more readily determinable of (i) the rate implicit in the lease or (ii) the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Because the Company’s operating leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date for collateralized borrowings with a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and in a similar economic environment where the leased asset is located. The collateralized borrowings were based on the Company’s estimated credit rating corroborated with market credit metrics like debt level and interest coverage. The Company’s operating lease ROU assets are measured based on the corresponding operating lease liability adjusted for (i) payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, (ii) initial direct costs incurred and (iii) lease incentives under the lease. Options to renew or terminate the lease are recognized as part of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain the options will be exercised. ROU assets are also assessed for impairments consistent with the Company’s long-lived asset policy. The Company does not allocate consideration between lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance costs, as the Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for any leases within its existing classes of assets. Operating lease expense for fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments for real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities, which are generally based on the Company’s pro rata share of the total property, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets or lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Operating leases are presented separately as operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, current and non-current, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue by assisting home sellers and buyers in listing, marketing, selling and finding homes. The Company holds the real estate brokerage license that is necessary under relevant state laws and regulations to provide brokerage services and therefore controls those services that are necessary to legally transfer real estate between home sellers and buyers. Although the Company’s agents are independent contractors, they cannot execute a real estate transaction without a brokerage license, which the Company possesses. The Company has the only contractual relationship for the sale or exchange of real estate with their clients. Accordingly, the Company is the principal in its transactions with home buyers and sellers. As principal, the Company recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. 66 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company concluded that its brokerage revenue contains a single performance obligation that is satisfied upon the closing of a real estate services transaction, at which point the entire transaction price is earned. Revenue is recognized upon the closing of a real estate transaction (i.e. purchase or sale of a home) since the Company is not entitled to any commission until the performance obligation is satisfied and is not owed any commission for unsuccessful transactions, even if services have been provided. The Company operates exclusively in the United States and generates substantially all of its revenue from commissions from home sellers and buyers. In addition to commission revenue, the Company generates revenue through integrated services related to the home transaction such as title and escrow services which comprised an insignificant amount of the consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Management evaluated and determined that no disaggregation of revenue is necessary or appropriate. As the Company generally bills for its services at the time of revenue recognition, the Company does not have material deferred revenue or contract asset balances. In addition, the Company does not capitalize commissions paid to agents as incremental contract costs as there are no future benefits associated with the expenses. Commissions and Other Related Expense Commissions and other related expense primarily consist of commissions paid to the Company’s agents, who are independent contractors to the Company, upon the closing of a real estate transaction (i.e., purchase or sale of a home), as well as stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s Agent Equity Program (see Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Stock-Based Compensation”) and fees paid to external brokerages for client referrals, which are recognized and paid upon the closing of a real estate transaction. The Company also charges fees to affiliated agents. These fees are either transaction based, where amounts are collected at the closing of a brokerage transaction, or in the form of periodic fixed fees over a defined period of time. Fees charged to affiliated agents are recognized as a reduction to Commissions and other related expense as the reimbursements do not constitute a form of revenue nor do they constitute a reimbursement for a specific, incremental, identifiable cost for the Company. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of marketing and advertising expenses, compensation and other personnel-related costs for employees supporting sales, marketing, expansion and related functions, occupancy-related costs for the Company’s regional offices, agent incentives and costs related to administering the Compass Concierge Program, including associated bad debt expenses. Advertising expense primarily includes the cost of marketing activities such as print advertising, online advertising and promotional items, which are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $ 73.7 million, $ 96.6 million and $ 147.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Compensation costs includes salaries, taxes, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Operations and Support Operations and support expenses include compensation and other personnel related expenses for employees supporting agents, third-party consulting and professional services costs, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration for the Company’s acquisitions and other related expenses. Research and Development Research and development expense consists primarily of compensation and other personnel-related costs for employees in the product, engineering and technology functions, website hosting expenses, software licenses and equipment, third-party consulting costs, data licenses and other related expenses. General and Administrative General and administrative expense primarily consists of compensation costs for executive management and administrative employees, including finance and accounting, legal, human resources and communications, the occupancy costs for the 67 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Company’s New York headquarters and other offices supporting administrative functions, litigation charges, professional services fees, insurance expenses and talent acquisition expenses. Restructuring Costs and liabilities associated with management-approved restructuring activities are recognized when they are incurred. Restructuring charges primarily consist of costs associated with workforce reductions and operating lease right-of-use asset impairments. One-time employee termination costs are recognized at the time of communication to employees, unless future service is required, in which case the costs are recognized ratably over the future service period. Ongoing employee termination benefits are recognized as a liability when it is probable that a liability exists and the amount is reasonably estimable. Restructuring charges are recognized as an operating expense within the consolidated statements of operations and related liabilities are recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company periodically evaluates and, if necessary, adjusts its estimates based on currently available information. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of depreciation and amortization of the Company’s property and equipment, capitalized software and acquired intangible assets. Interest Expense Interest expense consists primarily of expense related to the interest, commitment fees and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility and concierge credit facility. See Note 9 — “Debt.” Income Taxes The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to settle. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-17. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The Company continuously reviews issues raised in connection with ongoing examinations and open tax years to evaluate the adequacy of its tax liabilities. The Company’s policy is to adjust these reserves when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on its financial condition and operating results. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any reserves that management identifies. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. 68 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments including Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Compass Concierge receivables, Accounts payable and Commissions payable approximate their respective fair values because of their short maturities. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying amount of the Company’s debt facilities approximates fair value as the stated interest rate approximates market rates currently available to the Company. See Note 5 — “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities,” for more information on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an entity with discrete financial information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates financial information on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company has one operating and reportable segment. Substantially all long-lived assets and revenue are based in the United States. The CODM measures segment performance based on net income (loss), using it to guide key operating decisions, including budget allocation across the significant expense categories included in operating expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. Other measures of profit or loss are also utilized. There are no other expense categories regularly provided to the CODM that are not already included in the primary financial statements herein. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Compensation expense is generally recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the service period based on the vesting requirements. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The Company issues RSUs to employees, and to affiliated agents and in certain cases in connection with business combinations. In addition to the issuance of RSUs to agents as equity compensation for the provision of services, the Company previously offered RSUs to affiliated agents through its Agent Equity Program. The Agent Equity Program offered affiliated agents the ability to elect to have a portion of their commissions earned during a calendar year to be paid in the form of RSUs. RSUs issued in connection with the Agent Equity Program were granted at the beginning of the year following the calendar year in which the commissions were earned and are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as applicable. The Company discontinued the Agent Equity Program following the issuance of RSUs during the first quarter of 2023 related to the 2022 Agent Equity Program. For RSUs granted in connection with the 2021 and 2022 Agent Equity Programs the Company determined the value of the stock-based compensation expense at the time the underlying commission was earned and recognized the associated expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods beginning on the closing date of the underlying real estate commission transactions. The stock-based compensation expense was recorded as a liability throughout the service periods and was reclassified to Additional paid-in capital at the end of the vesting period when the underlying RSUs were issued. On a limited basis, the Company has issued stock options and RSUs that contain service, performance and market-based vesting conditions. Such awards were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and the underlying expense will be recognized as the associated vesting conditions are met. For stock options, which the Company issues to employees, affiliated agents and in certain cases in connection with business combinations, the Company generally estimates the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including (1) the fair value of common stock, (2) the expected stock price volatility, (3) the expected term of the award, (4) the risk-free interest rate and (5) expected dividends. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the number of stock options granted was immaterial. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 retrospectively as of January 1, 2024. Refer to our significant accounting policies above for the impact of adoption. 69 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . This standard includes enhanced income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid for annual periods. The amendments in this update are effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This new guidance is designed to improve the disclosures of specific account categories, including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, and costs incurred related to inventory and manufacturing activities. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. 3. Acquisitions Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recognized at their acquisition date fair values. Determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired requires estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market values are not readily available. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company have been included in the consolidated statements of operations since their respective dates of acquisition. Goodwill generated from all business combinations completed was primarily attributable to expected synergies from future growth and potential monetization opportunities. 2024 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 100 % of the ownership interests in Latter & Blum Holdings, LLC and Parks Village Nashville, LLC, two residential real estate brokerages, and the acquisition of 100 % ownership interest in a title insurance and escrow settlement services company. The purpose of these acquisitions was to expand the Company’s existing brokerage business and title and escrow presence in key domestic markets. The Company has accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations. The consideration for the acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2024 is comprised of $ 26.1 million in the Company's Class A common stock, $ 21.3 million of cash paid at or near closing, net of cash acquired, an additional $ 2.7 million to be paid in cash and the Company's Class A common stock at a later date and an estimated $ 7.1 million of additional Class A common stock or cash that may be paid contingent on certain earnings-based targets being met at various payment dates through 2027. Payments in excess of the original estimate may impact the Company's statement of operations in future periods. The future consideration amounts were recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed primarily resulted in the recognition of: $ 28.7 million of customer relationships; $ 2.4 million of trademark intangible assets; $ 20.0 million of other current and non-current assets; and $ 18.3 million of current and non-current liabilities. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the aggregate fair value of the acquired net assets was recorded as goodwill of $ 24.4 million. Goodwill represents the expected synergies from combining the acquired assets and the operations of the acquirer as well as the intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The acquired intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful lives of approximately 5 to 6 years. Approximately $ 9.3 million of the goodwill recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024 is deductible for tax purposes. The amount of tax-deductible goodwill may increase in the future to approximately $ 16.4 million dependent on the payment of certain contingent consideration arrangements. These amounts are not expected to have an impact on the income tax provision while the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company has recorded the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the acquisition dates and expects to finalize its analysis within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) of the respective transactions. Any adjustments during the measurement period would have a corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the 70 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. Pro forma revenue and earnings for 2024 acquisitions have not been presented because they are not material to the Company’s consolidated revenue and results of operations, either individually or in the aggregate. 2023 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100 % of the ownership interests in two residential real estate brokerages and acquired the assets of a smaller residential real estate brokerage. The purpose of these acquisitions was to expand the Company’s existing brokerage business in key domestic markets. The Company has accounted for these transactions as business combinations. The consideration for the acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2023 is primarily comprised of $ 6.8 million in the Company's Class A common stock, $ 1.1 million of cash paid at closing, an additional $ 1.0 million paid at a later date and an estimated $ 14.0 million of additional Class A common stock and cash that may be paid contingent on certain earnings-based targets being met at various payment dates through 2033. Payments in excess of the original estimate may impact the Company's statement of operations in future periods. The future consideration amounts were recorded as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, inclusive of any measurement period adjustments, primarily resulted in the recognition of: $ 10.8 million of customer relationships; $ 4.7 million of other current and non-current assets; and $ 5.5 million of other current and non-current liabilities. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the aggregate fair value of the acquired net assets was recorded as goodwill of $ 10.8 million. The acquired customer relationships are being amortized over the estimated useful lives of approximately 5 years. Approximately $ 0.6 million of the goodwill recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023 is deductible for tax purposes. The amount of tax-deductible goodwill may increase in the future to approximately $ 17.9 million dependent on the payment of certain contingent consideration, holdback and acquisition-related compensation arrangements. These amounts are not expected to have an impact on the income tax provision while the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. Pro forma revenue and earnings for 2023 acquisitions have not been presented because they are not material to the Company’s consolidated revenue and results of operations, either individually or in the aggregate. 2022 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100 % of the ownership interests in a title insurance and escrow settlement services company and acquired the assets of a small real estate brokerage. The purpose of these acquisitions was to expand the Company’s title and escrow offerings and to expand its existing brokerage business in key domestic markets. The Company has accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations. The total consideration for acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2022 comprised $ 12.1 million of cash, net of cash acquired, $ 0.8 million in Class A common stock of the Company and an estimated $ 3.6 million of additional cash that may be paid contingent on certain earnings-based targets being met through 2029. Future cash payments were recorded as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed primarily resulted in the recognition of: customer relationships of $ 8.1 million; trademark intangible assets of $ 1.1 million; $ 1.0 million of other current and non-current assets; and $ 2.5 million of current and non-current liabilities. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets was recorded as goodwill of $ 8.8 million. Acquired intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately 3 to 5 years. 71 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Approximately $ 0.3 million of the goodwill recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022 is deductible for tax purposes. The amount of tax-deductible goodwill may increase in the future to approximately $ 1.6 million dependent on the payment of certain contingent consideration arrangements. These amounts are not expected to have an impact on the income tax provision while the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. Pro forma revenue and earnings for 2022 acquisitions have not been presented because they are not material to the Company’s consolidated revenue and results of operations, either individually or in the aggregate. Contingent Consideration Contingent consideration represents obligations of the Company to transfer cash and common stock to the sellers of certain acquired businesses in the event that certain targets and milestones are met. As of December 31, 2024, the undiscounted estimated payment under these arrangements was $ 35.4 million. Changes in contingent consideration measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in millions): Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Opening balance $ 20.9 $ 14.0 $ 24.4 Acquisitions 7.1 14.0 3.6 Fair value losses (gains) included in net loss 6.0 2.6 ( 2.2 ) Payments ( 3.0 ) ( 9.7 ) ( 11.8 ) Closing balance $ 31.0 $ 20.9 $ 14.0 Other Acquisition Related Compensation In connection with the Company’s acquisitions, a portion of the cash and equity consideration amounts paid or to be paid to the selling shareholders are subject to clawback and forfeiture dependent on certain employees and agents providing continued service to the Company. Accordingly, this consideration is accounted for as compensation for future services and the Company recognizes the expenses over the underlying retention periods. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 0.2 million, $ 0.6 million and $ 13.4 million, respectively, in compensation expense within Operations and support in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations related to these arrangements. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not expect to make any further material payments under these arrangements. 4. Joint Venture In July 2021, the Company and Guaranteed Rate, Inc. (“Guaranteed Rate”) formed a joint venture, OriginPoint, LLC (“OriginPoint”). OriginPoint was formed for the purpose of conducting a mortgage origination and lending business and providing related services for the Company’s real estate brokerage clients, as well as the clients of any other brokerage in the context of a new purchase or other customers not working with a brokerage in the context of a refinancing, in order to make loans available to a broad consumer audience. OriginPoint originates, processes, underwrites, closes and/or funds mortgage loans for sale, transfer and assignment to investors and eligible wholesale lenders, including affiliates, or effects any other secondary market transactions related to such mortgage loans. OriginPoint is owned 49.9 % by the Company and 50.1 % by Guaranteed Rate. The Company made capital contributions to OriginPoint of $ 2.0 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company accounts for OriginPoint as an equity method investment and records its equity earnings or losses related to OriginPoint within Equity in loss of unconsolidated entity in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s investment in OriginPoint had a balance of $ 5.7 million at December 31, 2024 and is included within Other non-current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded equity losses of $ 0.6 million, $ 3.3 million and $ 12.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No dividends were received by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. 72 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements OriginPoint has established and maintains its own warehouse lines of credit, and it funds its own mortgage loan transactions from these independent sources. The warehouse lines maintained by OriginPoint are collateralized by the underlying mortgages available for sale and are non-recourse to Compass. 5. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $ 223.8 million and $ 166.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are held in cash, money market funds and U.S. treasury securities which are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted prices in active markets. These are the Company’s only Level 1 financial instruments. The Company does not hold any Level 2 financial instruments. The Company’s contingent consideration liabilities of $ 31.0 million and $ 20.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are the Company’s only Level 3 financial instruments. See Note 3 — “Acquisitions” for changes in contingent consideration during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The following tables present the balances of contingent consideration as presented in the consolidated balance sheets (in millions): December 31, 2024 2023 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 3.3 $ 4.5 Other non-current liabilities 27.7 16.4 Total contingent consideration $ 31.0 $ 20.9 There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the periods presented. Level 3 Financial Liabilities The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities relate to acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements. Contingent consideration represents obligations of the Company to transfer cash or the Company's common stock to the sellers of certain acquired entities in the event that certain targets and milestones are met. The primary method the Company used to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities was a Monte Carlo simulation, which is based on inputs such as forecasted future results of the acquired businesses, which are not observable in the market, discount rates and earnings volatility measures. The Company has not presented certain quantitative information regarding the unobservable inputs utilized to measure contingent consideration liabilities given changes in these assumptions have not and are not expected to materially impact the Company’s operating results during 2024 or in future periods. Changes in the fair value of Level 3 financial liabilities are included within Operations and support in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 3 – “Acquisitions”). 6. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment, net consisted of the following (in millions): December 31, 2024 2023 Leasehold improvements $ 186.2 $ 186.7 Office furniture and equipment 37.4 36.9 Computer software and internally-developed software 49.9 42.7 Computer equipment 26.1 26.7 299.6 293.0 Less: accumulated depreciation ( 174.1 ) ( 141.3 ) Property and equipment, net $ 125.5 $ 151.7 73 Table of Contents Compass, Inc.

Debt Concierge Credit Facility In July 2020, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Concierge Facility”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and the several lenders party thereto, which was subsequently amended on July 29, 2021, August 5, 2022 and August 4, 2023. The Concierge Facility provides for a $ 75.0 million revolving credit facility and is solely used to finance a portion of the Company’s Compass Concierge Program. The Concierge Facility is secured primarily by the Concierge Receivables and cash of the Compass Concierge Program. Borrowings under the Concierge Facility bear interest at the term SOFR rate plus a margin of 2.75 %. The two year commitment fee is 0.35 % if the Concierge Facility is utilized greater than 50 % and 0.50 %, if the Concierge Facility is utilized less than 50 %. On August 4, 2023, the revolving period under the Concierge Facility was extended to August 3, 2025. The interest rate on the drawn down balance of the Concierge Facility was 7.49 % as of December 31, 2024. Pursuant to the Concierge Facility, the principal amount, if any, is payable in full in January 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended. The Company has the option to repay the borrowings under the Concierge Facility without premium or penalty prior to maturity. The Concierge Facility contains customary affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements, as well as covenants that restrict the Company's ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, sell certain receivables, declare dividends or make certain distributions, and undergo a merger or consolidation or certain other transactions. Additionally, in the event that the Company fails to comply with certain financial covenants that require the Company to meet certain liquidity-based measures, the commitments under the Concierge Facility will automatically be 75 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements reduced to zero and the Company will be required to repay any outstanding loans under the Concierge Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Concierge Facility. The Concierge Facility includes customary events of default that include, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of certain covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations and/or the increase in the applicable interest rate under the Concierge Facility. Revolving Credit Facility In March 2021, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and as collateral agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and certain other lenders, which was subsequently amended on May 1, 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a $ 350.0 million revolving credit facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a letter of credit sublimit which is the lesser of (i) $ 125.0 million and (ii) the aggregate unused amount of the revolving commitments then in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Company’s subsidiary guarantors. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 0.50 % or (ii) a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 1.50 %. The base rate is equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate as quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50 %, (c) the SOFR term rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00 % and (d) 1.00 %. The SOFR term rate is determined by the Administrative Agent as the forward-looking term rate plus a 0.10 % adjustment. During an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility, the applicable interest rates are increased by 2.0 % per annum. The Company is also obligated to pay other customary fees for a credit facility of this type, including a commitment fee on a quarterly basis based on amounts committed but unused under the Revolving Credit Facility of 0.175 % per annum, fees associated with letters of credit and administrative and arrangement fees. The principal amount, if any, is payable in full in March 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended. The Company has the option to repay the Company’s borrowings, and to permanently reduce the loan commitments in whole or in part, under the Revolving Credit Facility without premium or penalty prior to maturity. As of December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled approximately $ 53.8 million.

The financial covenants require that (i) the Company maintains liquidity of at least $ 150.0 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and each date of a credit extension and (ii) the Company’s consolidated total revenue as of the last day of each fiscal quarter be equal to or greater than the specified amount corresponding to such period. Minimum liquidity is defined as unused amounts under the $ 350.0 million Revolving Credit Facility plus the unrestricted cash of Compass and its restricted subsidiaries. The minimum required consolidated revenue threshold for the trailing four fiscal quarters is $ 4,668.0 million during 2024 and thereafter. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may be involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability is recorded and disclosed if the amount is material to the Company’s business taken as a whole. When a material loss contingency is only reasonably possible, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can reasonably be made. Legal costs related to the defense of loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Claims or regulatory actions against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could have an adverse impact on the Company due to legal costs, diversion of management resources and other elements. Except as identified with respect to the matters below, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any individual existing legal or regulatory proceeding to which it is a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or overall business in each case, taken as a whole.

National Association of Realtors, et al., No. 2:24-cv-00340 (D. Nev.) (“Boykin”), filed on February 16, 2024, was terminated and consolidated into the Whaley matter on March 20, 2024. The plaintiffs in the Gibson and Umpa matters allege a nationwide scope, while the Grace and Fierro matters are limited in scope to Northern California and Southern California, respectively and the Whaley matter is limited in scope to Nevada. The Grace, Fierro and Whaley matters are stayed pending the appeal of the final approval of the settlement agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized an expense of $ 57.5 million within General and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations in connection with the settlement agreement. 50 % of 79 Table of Contents Compass, Inc.

(“Batton II”), filed on November 2, 2023, names the Company and seven other brokerages as defendants and alleges that the defendants entered into a continuing contract, combination, or conspiracy to unreasonably restrain interstate trade and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1 and state law antitrust statutes, violated state consumer protection statutes, and were unjustly enriched by industry rules that set the manner by which buyer’s brokers are compensated. The allegations in Batton are substantially similar to those contained in the case captioned Batton, et al. v. National Association of Realtors, et al., No. 1:21-cv-00430 (N.D. Ill.) (“Batton I”), filed on January 25, 2021 which does not name the Company but names the National Association of Realtors and six other brokerages. The Company and the defendants in the Batton II matter filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on June 21, 2024. The plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss on August 5, 2024 and the Company and the defendants filed a reply on September 4, 2024.

The contingent payment was dependent on a volume-weighted stock price target for the Company's Class A common stock and was payable up to a maximum of $ 5.5 million in May 2025 (unless the volume-weighted stock price target is triggered). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the volume-weighted price target was met and the Company was released of its liability to make any additional payment in connection with this arrangement. 13. Stock-Based Compensation 2012 Stock Incentive Plan In October 2012, the Company adopted the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). Under the 2012 Plan, employees and non-employees could be granted stock options, RSUs and other stock-based awards. Generally, these awards were based on stock agreements with a maximum ten-year term for stock options and a maximum seven-year term for RSUs, subject to board approval. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan In February 2021, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders adopted and approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), with an initial pool of 29.7 million shares of common stock available for granting stock-based awards plus any reserved shares of common stock not issued or subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2012 Plan. In addition, on January 1 st of each year beginning in 2022 and continuing through 2031, the aggregate number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan shall be increased automatically by the number of shares equal to 5 % of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 st , although the Company’s board of directors or one of its committees may reduce the amount of such increase in any particular year. The 2021 Plan became effective on March 30, 2021 and as of that date, the Company ceased granting new awards under the 2012 Plan and all remaining shares available under the 2012 Plan were transferred to the 2021 Plan. As of December 31, 2024, there were 60.8 million shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan, inclusive of those shares transferred from the 2012 Plan. Effective January 1, 2025, the number of shares available for future grants was increased by an additional 25.7 million shares as a result of the annual increase provision described above. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In February 2021, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders adopted and approved the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), with an initial pool of 7.4 million shares of Class A common stock available for authorized purchase rights to the Company’s employees or to employees of its designated affiliates.

No more than 150.0 million shares of common stock may be issued over the term of the ESPP, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the ESPP. As of December 31, 2024, 18.1 million shares of Class A common stock remain available for grant under the ESPP. The Company has elected to forgo the annual increase to the number of authorized shares available for grant under the ESPP that would have occurred on January 1, 2025. The ESPP permits employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock through payroll deductions accumulated during six-month offering periods up to a maximum value of $ 12,500 per offering period. The offering periods begin each February and August, or such other period determined by the Compensation Committee. On each 82 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements purchase date, eligible employees may purchase the shares at a price per share equal to 85 % of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the first trading day of the offering period, or (2) the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the purchase date, as defined in the ESPP. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 0.7 million shares of Class A common stock under the ESPP. The Company recognized $ 1.0 million and $ 1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Stock Options Stock options vest over a prescribed service period generally lasting four years . Upon the exercise of any stock options, the Company issues shares to the award holder from the pool of authorized but unissued common stock. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 stock options granted were not material to the Company's financial statements. A summary of stock option activity under the 2012 Plan and the 2021 Plan, including 1.1 million stock options that were granted outside of the 2012 Plan in 2019, is presented below (in millions, except share and per share amounts): Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contract Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) Balance as of December 31, 2023 40,527,848 $ 5.60 5.1 $ 20.2 Granted 970 7.07 Exercised ( 4,722,210 ) 2.11 Forfeited ( 2,123,184 ) 6.69 Balance as of December 31, 2024 33,683,424 $ 6.02 4.4 $ 30.2 Exercisable and vested at December 31, 2024 31,698,321 $ 5.82 4.3 $ 29.8 (1) The aggregate intrinsic values have been calculated using the Company’s closing stock prices of $ 5.85 and $ 3.76 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Beginning in 2022, the Company changed the method of its employee grants to a series of four consecutive annual grants (each at 25 % of the previous four-year value) that each vest over the one-year period following grant. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has remaining commitments to its employees related to this methodology to grant an aggregate of 26.4 million RSUs during 2025, 2026 and 2027 which will each vest over the subsequent one-year period following the respective grant dates. Beginning in 2025, the Company will revert to its previous method of one grant vesting ratably over a four-year period following the grant date for substantially all new equity commitments. Note the foregoing excludes a non-material number of additional committed but not yet granted RSUs which the Company will grant during 2025 which commitments were denominated in dollar values rather than shares. Agent Equity Program In connection with the 2021 Agent Equity Program, the Company recognized a total of $ 100.0 million in stock-based compensation expense of which $ 84.8 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 and $ 15.2 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022. In February 2022, the Company granted 13.6 million RSUs, which immediately vested and converted to Class A common stock in connection with the 2021 Agent Equity Program. Prior to the issuance of the underlying RSUs, the stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards was recorded as a liability and $ 100.0 million was ultimately reclassified to Additional paid-in capital at the end of the vesting period when the underlying RSUs were granted. In connection with the 2022 Agent Equity Program, the Company recognized a total of $ 53.3 million stock-based compensation expense of which $ 41.7 million was recognized during the year ended the year ended December 31, 2022 and $ 11.6 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023. In January 2023, the Company granted 14.1 million RSUs to affiliated agents in connection with the 2022 Agent Equity Program. Prior to the issuance of the underlying RSUs, the stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards was recorded as a liability and $ 53.3 million was ultimately reclassified to Additional paid-in capital at the end of the vesting period when the underlying RSUs were granted. Following the issuance of these RSUs, the Company discontinued the Agent Equity Program. 84 Table of Contents Compass, Inc.

Income Taxes The Company’s loss before income taxes consisted of (in millions): Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 United States $ ( 158.6 ) $ ( 314.1 ) $ ( 610.4 ) International 3.7 ( 7.6 ) 8.0 Total $ ( 154.9 ) $ ( 321.7 ) $ ( 602.4 ) For the year ended December 31, 2024, the loss before income taxes of $ 154.9 million includes $ 0.6 million of losses from the Company’s equity investment in OriginPoint and excludes $ 0.1 million in net income attributable to non-controlling interests. The OriginPoint business and other non-controlling interests operate in the United States. The components of the Company’s income tax benefit (provision) consisted of (in millions): Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Current: Federal $ — $ — $ — State ( 0.3 ) ( 0.3 ) — Foreign ( 0.4 ) ( 0.1 ) ( 3.1 ) Total current ( 0.7 ) ( 0.4 ) ( 3.1 ) Deferred: Federal 0.5 0.8 0.9 State — — 0.3 Foreign 0.7 — 2.8 Total deferred 1.2 0.8 4.0 Total benefit from income taxes $ 0.5 $ 0.4 $ 0.9 The Company had an income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 resulting from a partial reduction in the valuation allowance related to the carryover tax basis in deferred tax liabilities from acquisitions. The benefit from income taxes is reduced by current taxes in India that are not offset with future alternative minimum tax 85 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements credits and state income tax expense. In 2024, the Company also recognized benefit from income taxes as a result of the recognition of deferred tax assets in India. The effective income tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Tax at federal statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State taxes, net of federal effect 5.8 % 5.2 % 7.0 % Change in valuation allowance ( 26.2 ) % ( 23.7 ) % ( 25.0 ) % Stock-based compensation ( 0.6 ) % ( 3.6 ) % ( 2.4 ) % Non-deductible executive compensation ( 1.0 ) % ( 0.6 ) % ( 0.6 ) % Non-deductible expenses ( 0.4 ) % ( 0.4 ) % ( 0.4 ) % Worthless stock deduction 0.2 % 3.2 % — % Other 1.5 % ( 1.0 ) % 0.6 % Benefit from income taxes 0.3 % 0.1 % 0.2 % The components of net deferred taxes arising from temporary differences were as follows (in millions): December 31, 2024 2023 Deferred tax assets: Nondeductible accruals $ 27.8 $ 14.4 Stock-based compensation 46.7 44.3 Lease liabilities 136.6 143.9 Net operating loss carryforward 476.8 462.1 Allowance for credit losses 10.1 10.7 Accrued compensation 16.9 27.6 Capitalized research & development costs 91.7 84.5 Intangible assets 18.5 12.1 Other 4.7 5.9 Total deferred tax assets $ 829.8 $ 805.5 Deferred tax liabilities: Operating lease right-of-use assets $ ( 104.9 ) $ ( 110.8 ) Property and equipment ( 17.4 ) ( 26.6 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 122.3 ) ( 137.4 ) Less: valuation allowance ( 703.8 ) ( 664.9 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 3.7 $ 3.2 The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and India. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (b) operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s deferred tax assets were primarily the result of U.S. federal and state net operating losses, operating lease obligations, capitalized research and development costs, stock-based compensation and other compensation and expense related accruals. A full valuation allowance was maintained against its U.S. gross deferred tax asset balances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of each reporting date, the Company considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact the Company’s view with regard to future realization of deferred 86 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements tax assets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company continued to maintain that the realization of its deferred tax assets has not achieved a more-likely-than-not threshold primarily due to the evidence that the Company continued to maintain three-year cumulative pre-tax book losses. As of December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance was approximately $ 703.8 million, an increase of $ 38.9 million from December 31, 2023, which includes the impact of acquisition activity. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had approximately $ 1.7 billion and $ 1.6 billion of gross federal net operating losses, respectively. Of those amounts, $ 152.0 million will begin to expire in 2032 and $ 1.5 billion have an unlimited carryforward with utilization limited to 80 % of taxable income. Such amounts may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as a result of various ownership change rules. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had approximately $ 2.0 billion and $ 1.9 billion of gross state net operating losses, respectively, that will begin to expire in 2026. The Company had no material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not anticipate a material increase or decrease in uncertain tax positions in the next twelve months after the reporting period. It is the Company’s policy to record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes. No material amounts of interest or penalties were recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company has obtained an income tax holiday for one of the three locations it operates in India, but the Company exited the location in 2024. As a result of the exit, the Company recognized certain deferred tax assets that were not previously applicable for when the Company had the income tax holiday. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending upon the tax jurisdiction. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for years before 2015. The IRS and state taxing authorities can subject the Company to audit dating back to 2012 when the Company begins to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards. 15. Compass Concierge Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses In 2018, the Company launched the Compass Concierge Program for home sellers who have engaged Compass as their exclusive listing agent. The initial program was based on a services model (“Concierge Classic”) provided by Compass Concierge, LLC (“Compass Concierge”), which included items such as consultation on suggested cosmetic updates or modifications to a specific property or guidance on securing licensed contractors or vendors to perform non-structural property improvements. The Concierge Classic program provided for the payment of the up-front costs of specified home improvement services provided by unrelated vendors. During 2022, the Company substantially ceased providing new payments under the Concierge Classic program. In 2019, the Compass Concierge Program was expanded to include a loan program underwritten by an independent third-party lender (the “Lender”) through a commercial arrangement with Compass Concierge (“Concierge Capital”). Under the Concierge Capital program, the Lender originates and services unsecured consumer loans to home sellers following its independent underwriting process pursuant to program-level criteria provided by the Company. The Company has no right or obligation with respect to any individual consumer loan originated by the Lender. Under the agreement, the Company has repayment rights against the Lender in connection with a corporate loan. Payment to the Company for these services under the Concierge Classic program or repayment of the loan funds under the Concierge Capital program is due upon the earlier of a successful home sale, the termination of the listing agreement or one year from the date in which costs were originally funded. Compass Concierge receivables (“Concierge Receivables”) are stated at the amount advanced to the home sellers, net of an estimated ACL in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any material income from the Compass Concierge Program. The Company incurs service fees payable to the Lender and incurs bad debt expense in connection with the Compass Concierge Program. 87 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company manages its credit risk by establishing a comprehensive credit policy for the approval of new loans while monitoring and reviewing the performance of its existing Concierge Receivables. Factors considered include but are not limited to: • No negative liens or judgements on the property; • Seller’s available equity on the property; • Loan to listing price ratio; • FICO score (only for Concierge Capital program); and • Macroeconomic conditions. Credit Quality The Company monitors credit quality by evaluating various attributes and utilizes such information in its evaluation of the appropriateness of the ACL. Based on the Company’s experience, the key credit quality indicator is whether the underlying properties associated with the Concierge Receivables will be sold or not. Concierge Receivables associated with properties that are eventually sold have a lower credit risk than those that are associated with properties that are not sold. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of outstanding Concierge Receivables related to unsold properties was approximately 97 % and 97 %, respectively. For Concierge Receivables where repayments have not been triggered (i.e., earlier of (i) sale of the property, (ii) termination of a listing agreement or (iii) 12 months from the date costs were originally funded), the Company establishes an estimate as to the percentage of underlying properties that will be sold based on historical data. This estimate is updated as of the end of each reporting period. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company maintains an ACL for the expected credit losses over the contractual life of the Concierge Receivables. The amount of ACL is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments by management. Historical loss experience is generally the starting point when the Company estimates the expected credit losses. The Company then considers whether (i) current conditions and economic conditions, (ii) future economic conditions and (iii) any potential changes in the Compass Concierge Program that are reasonable and supportable would impact its ACL. The following table summarizes the activity of the ACL for Concierge Receivables as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions): December 31, 2024 2023 Opening balance $ 13.2 $ 14.7 Allowances 0.4 0.8 Net write-offs and other ( 3.2 ) ( 2.3 ) Closing balance $ 10.4 $ 13.2 Aging Status The Company generally considers Concierge Receivables to be past due after being outstanding for over 30 days after the initial billing. Changes in the Company’s estimate to the ACL are recorded through bad debt expense as Sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and individual accounts are charged against the allowance 88 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements when all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted. The following table presents the aging analysis of Concierge Receivables as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions): December 31, 2024 2023 Current $ 30.2 $ 28.4 31-90 days 1.1 0.9 Over 90 days 3.5 7.9 Total $ 34.8 $ 37.2 16. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Compass, Inc. The Company computes net loss per share under the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock are substantially identical, other than voting rights. Accordingly, the net loss per share attributable to Compass, Inc. will be the same for Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock on an individual or combined basis.

Restructuring Activities Beginning in 2022, the Company enacted certain workforce reductions, wound down Modus Technologies, Inc. ("Modus"), terminated certain of its operating leases and took actions to reduce its occupancy costs, the most significant being the scaling down of its New York administrative office. The workforce reductions were part of a broader plan by the Company to take meaningful actions to improve the alignment between the Company’s organizational structure and its long-term 89 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements business strategy, drive cost efficiencies enabled by the Company’s technology and other competitive advantages and continue to drive toward profitability and positive free cash flow. As a result of restructuring actions taken during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred restructuring costs of $ 9.7 million, $ 30.4 million and $ 49.1 million, respectively, resulting from severance and other termination benefits for employees whose roles were eliminated, lease terminations costs as a result of the accelerated amortization of various right-of-use assets and other restructuring costs, including those costs related to the wind-down of Modus. These costs have been presented within the Restructuring costs line in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred additional non-cash charges of approximately $ 2.0 million, $ 5.3 million and $ 2.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, associated with the write-down of fixed assets for certain real estate leases that have been exited, or partially exited. The Company incurred additional non-cash charges of approximately $ 4.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 associated with the discontinued use of certain intangible assets associated with Modus. These costs have been included within the Depreciation and amortization line in the consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the total costs incurred in connection with the Company's restructuring activities taken during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in millions): Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Severance related personnel costs $ — $ 8.9 $ 40.6 Lease termination costs 9.7 21.5 7.7 Accelerated amortization of intangible assets — — 4.6 Accelerated depreciation 2.0 5.3 2.5 Other restructuring activities — — 0.8 Total expense $ 11.7 $ 35.7 $ 56.2 The total costs incurred in connection with the Company's restructuring activities during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were included in the consolidated statements of operations as follows (in millions): Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Restructuring costs $ 9.7 $ 30.4 $ 49.1 Depreciation and amortization 2.0 5.3 7.1 Total expense $ 11.7 $ 35.7 $ 56.2 The following table summarizes the estimated timing of the Company's future lease and lease-related payments, net of amounts contractually subleased, related to restructuring activities for lease termination costs as of December 31, 2024 (in millions): Payment Due by Period 2025 $ 12.9 2026 6.9 2027 6.1 Thereafter 9.9 Total $ 35.8 18. Subsequent Event On January 13, 2025, the Company closed its previously announced merger transaction (the “Transaction”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated November 25, 2024, by and among the Company, Compass Brokerage, LLC, Company Merger Sub, LLC, At World Properties Holdings, LLC, known as 90 Table of Contents Compass, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements @properties Christie’s International Real Estate (“Christie’s International Real Estate”), At World Properties Principals Blocker, Inc. (“Principals Blocker”), At World Properties IX Blocker, Inc. (“IX Blocker”), Apple IX Blocker Merger Sub, Inc., Apple Principals Blocker Merger Sub, Inc., and Quad-C LLC, as seller representative. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of Principals Blocker, IX Blocker and Christie’s International Real Estate and each of Principals Blocker, IX Blocker and Christie’s International Real Estate became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate consideration (“Total Consideration”) payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement consisted of (i) $ 150 million (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments and (ii) 44.1 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Share Consideration”). The Share Consideration is subject to further adjustment (the “Share Consideration Adjustment”) if the value of the Share Consideration on the 366th day following the Closing Date, determined using the price per share equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the 10 -trading day period ending on the 366th day following the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Share Price”), is (i) greater than $ 344 million, in which case the Share Consideration will be reduced by a number of shares in an aggregate amount of up to $ 50 million (determined using the Post-Closing Share Price), up to a maximum of 5.6 million shares, or (ii) less than $ 344 million, in which case the Share Consideration will be increased by a number of shares in an aggregate amount of up to $ 50 million (determined using the greater of $ 6.6612 and the Post-Closing Share Price), up to a maximum of 7.5 million shares. Given the recent date of this acquisition, the Company has not yet completed its preliminary purchase price allocation. The Company expects to finalize its analysis within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) of the transaction. 91 Table of Contents Item 9.
