Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2024) - Pineapple Financial Inc. (NYSE American: PAPL) ("the Company" or "Pineapple"), an award winning mortgage and insurance fin-tech with a national footprint, is excited to announce the addition of two new affiliate brokerages, Luxe Lending Corp. and Mortgage Magic, expanding its reach and capabilities across Canada. This expansion strengthens Pineapple's position as a leader in the Canadian mortgage industry and aligns with its strategy to offer technology-enabled solutions to a wider audience.
In the 2023 fiscal year, Pineapple's affiliate broker network accounted for 36.8% of the company's total funded volume, generating the same percentage of overall revenue. With a network of 25 independently licensed firms that white-label Pineapple's solutions, our affiliates benefit from enhanced operational efficiencies and cutting-edge technology to better serve their clients. The addition of these two new affiliates further underscores Pineapple's commitment to growth, positioning the company for substantial increases in revenue and funded volume as we continue expanding our partner network.
Pineapple also reported record agent growth in October, with an impressive 82% year-over-year increase. This growth momentum is supported by improving consumer sentiment-at its highest level in 30 months-and recent adjustments to interest rates, which are creating an increasingly favorable environment for homebuyers and refinancing clients. These factors collectively position Pineapple for accelerated revenue growth as market conditions continue to improve.
"We are thrilled to welcome Luxe Lending Corp and Mortgage Magic into the Pineapple family," said Christa Mitchell, Chief Strategy Officer of Pineapple. "Their decision to align with us highlights our shared commitment to leveraging technology to deliver exceptional service and results for clients. By partnering with Pineapple, these new affiliates gain access to our robust suite of tools and resources, empowering them to drive growth and achieve operational excellence."
As Pineapple's affiliate network continues to grow, the company remains focused on leveraging AI and data-driven solutions to enhance the mortgage experience. These innovations allow Pineapple to provide personalized mortgage options that address the unique needs of borrowers, further solidifying its role as a leader in the industry.
"With our expanded affiliate network and favorable market conditions, we anticipate strong revenue and market share growth in the coming quarters," stated Shubha Dasgupta, CEO of Pineapple. "Our mission is to support the success of our partners and provide Canadians with efficient, technology-enabled mortgage solutions that help them reach their homeownership goals."
