LAKEWOOD, NJ, Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI; RELIW) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”), which combines artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud-based technologies with the personalized experience of a traditional insurance agency, today provided preliminary revenue guidance for the second quarter of 2022. The Company currently expects revenue for the second quarter of 2022 to approximately double compared to the same period last year.
Mr. Ezra Beyman, Chairman and CEO of Reliance, commented, “I am pleased to report that we expect year-over-year revenues will approximately double compared to the same period last year. This growth is due in part to the acquisitions of Barra & Associates and Medigap. Importantly, both of these businesses are experiencing strong organic growth since we acquired them earlier this year, further validating our buy-and-build strategy, as well as our ability to acquire cash flow positive agencies at attractive multiples.
“Since relaunching Barra & Associates as RELI Exchange, following the integration of our state-of-the-art InsurTech platform, we have witnessed unprecedented interest and demand from new agency partners. When we acquired Barra & Associates in April of this year, it was our intention and strategy to leverage their agent network to accelerate the growth of RELI Exchange. I could not be more pleased with the progress and receptivity from the agents. Specifically, we provide our agency partners the ability to generate instant and competitive insurance quotes for their customers from more than thirty insurance carriers, utilizing our own 5MinuteInsure.com platform, while reducing back-office burden and expenses by eliminating paperwork. In turn, this frees up agents to focus on selling policies. In just three short months, we have grown our agency partner channel by over 30%. We believe this reflects the scalability of our platform and we remain steadfast in our goal of building RELI Exchange into the largest agency partner network in the U.S.
“At the same time, we are experiencing steady growth in Medigap. In July of 2022 alone, Medigap recorded nearly 800 new policies, an increase of more than 20% compared to January of 2022, the month in which we acquired them. Medicare supplemental insurance coverage represents a tremendous growth opportunity and we are executing on our strategy to aggressively expand their operations, as well as capitalize on cross-selling opportunities across our existing portfolio companies. Overall, we remain highly encouraged by the outlook for the business and look forward to providing further updates on our progress.”
