The rise in revenue is complemented by a notable increase in residential mortgage loans, which grew by
On the operational expense front, there was a 29.62% decrease in SG&A expenses. This reduction is primarily due to the absence of IPO-related expenses from the previous year. This operational efficiency boost is a good sign, reflecting better cost management and potentially higher future profitability.
Despite these positive factors, the company reported a net loss of $848,605 for Q3, a
Investors should weigh these mixed signals: while revenue and loan growth are promising, the continuous net losses and decreasing cash reserves pose long-term profitability and liquidity risks.
The Canadian real estate market has been under pressure, yet Pineapple Financial managed to grow its revenue and mortgage loan portfolio. This is a strong signal that the company's business model is resilient and can adapt to changing market conditions. The statement from the CEO regarding market recovery signs like lower interest rates and more housing supply supports a cautiously optimistic outlook for Pineapple in the near term.
The introduction of 30-year amortizations for first-time homebuyers is a significant policy change that can positively impact the housing market and Pineapple's business. Longer amortization periods typically lower monthly payments, making home ownership more accessible for younger buyers—a key demographic for mortgage firms.
The company's focus on new technology products to drive revenue and reduce costs is also noteworthy. By leveraging technology, Pineapple aims to enhance operational efficiency, a critical strategy in the competitive mortgage market. However, the company's past inability to turn a profit despite revenue growth could suggest structural issues that need addressing.
Overall, while Pineapple's recent performance and strategic initiatives are encouraging, the persistence of net losses and declining cash reserves warrant close monitoring. Investors should keep an eye on the company's ability to translate revenue growth into sustainable profitability.

"We are very gratified by our 2024 third-quarter fiscal results," said co-founder and chief executive officer Shubha Dasgupta. "This quarter saw positive movement in the right direction from both macroeconomic and business perspectives. Although the real estate market across the country has faced challenges, positive signs have begun to emerge. The Bank of Canada has started reducing interest rates, fixed mortgage rates have dropped, and we are seeing more supply coming onto the market. Additionally, policy changes such as the introduction of 30-year amortizations for first-time homebuyers indicate a focus on helping younger Canadians enter the housing market."
From a business perspective, we have continued to grow, even in challenging markets, which is a testament to our resilience and effectiveness as a business and a platform for hundreds of brokers across the country. We have launched a variety of new technology products to increase revenue and decrease costs, participated in numerous conferences, and continued to expand into new markets and add new offices this quarter.
"We are exceptionally pleased with the significant strides we've made this quarter," said co-founder and chief executive officer Shubha Dasgupta. "The new technology products we've launched are driving both increased revenue and reduced costs, demonstrating our commitment to innovation and efficiency. Our participation in numerous conferences and ongoing expansion into new markets highlight our relentless pursuit of growth. As the Canadian real estate market shows signs of recovery, we are poised to capitalize on these favourable conditions and continue our upward trajectory, delivering robust results for our stakeholders."
