Operator
Thank you, everyone, for joining us. My name is Stepan Sani, and I'll be the operator for today's call.
Welcome to Tribe Property Technologies fiscal first quarter 2026 financial results conference call. This call is being recorded.
We'll be having a question-and-answer session at the end of the call. On our call today, we have Tribe CEO, Joseph Nakhla, and the company CFO, Scott Ullrich.
I trust that everyone has received a copy of our financial results press release that was issued earlier today. Listeners are also encouraged to download a copy of our financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis from SEDAR+.
Please note portions of today's call, other than historical performance, include statements of forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. These statements are made under the safe harbor provisions of those laws.
Forward-looking statements are based on management's current views and assumptions. Please review our press release and Tribe's reports filed on SEDAR+ for various risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our projections.
We use terms such as gross profit, gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, and recurring revenue on this conference call, which are non-IFRS and non-GAAP measures. For more information on how we define these terms, please refer to the definitions set out in our Management's Discussion and Analysis.
In addition, reconciliations between any adjusted EBITDA and net income is included in the press release this morning. Please note that all financial information is provided in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
With that, I will now turn the call over to Tribe CEO, Joseph Nakhla.
Joseph Nakhla
Good morning, afternoon, everyone. It's a pleasure being with you.
Thanks again for taking interest in our company and attending the call with us today. As has been, obviously, highlighted in our press release, we're pleased to have another solid quarter delivering another profitable, EBITDA-positive quarter here, two in a row.
We're quite pleased with where the company's has been. Those that have been following us know the last year and a half, after we built our national infrastructure, we put a lot of our effort and time into really integrating all the M&A and non-M&A kind of acquisitions that we've made that came through different divisions, restructured the whole company.
Q4, end of Q4 was when we signaled that we finally took our 13 or 14 operating entities and put them into two and three. Q1 was the deployment of new leadership and/or expansion of leadership in our organization in different departments, ensuring that our back office is starting to support all those different departments with the same exact level of service that was offered in our original small office that started in Vancouver a few years ago.
Now we're quite pleased to say that we've taken some serious steps towards that. To kind of unpack the revenue a little bit more, you'll see it's about $8.2 million approximately in Q1 and approximately pretty flat line from the last quarter.
That's, and you'll see that in the gross margins, probably a function of trading up some of the revenue quality that we've been working through. You'll see a lot more new business coming through the door in Q2 and Q3.
We'll shed a little more light on why that is going to be a big pillar of our growth this year. Software and service, recurring revenue, as you may be familiar, that is a big, important line item that's actually up year-over-year.
Some of the lower revenue came through a function of slightly less transactions. Some were related to seasonality, and some related to geography.
We have achieved a second, obviously, a successive EBITDA quarter. I'm also not only pleased with that, but I'm also very pleased with the amount of debt that we've been able to take down.
You'll see that an increase of VTB is down from 69%. Scott will walk you through that specifically.
We're also incredibly pleased with the new restructured debt relationship that we've announced with the very large bank that we did in Q4. We're seeing the result of that and its impact on our cash as well.
We're quite pleased with where the company sits there. Then you'll have seen also a press release, slightly inside baseball as it pertains to the industry, of us having completed 1.5 million track building deficiencies.
It's our way of saying there's no other company in Canada now that has actually achieved and helped 100-plus developers deliver brand-new condos and construction and more than 300 projects and allow them to use our software to run workflows from the moment there's an issue in the brand-new condo all the way to satisfactory completion, with all the complexities that occur right through that. That puts us really alone, upfront, and one of the biggest differentiator we have.
All that being said, I'm going to hand it over to Scott to walk you through the financials. I'll be back with some more strategic initiatives that we're working on.
You're on mute, Scott. It wouldn't be a meeting if I wasn't on mute.
Scott Ullrich
Anyways, as I was saying, yeah, thanks, Joseph. A lot of what I'm about to say is going to be a little bit repetitive, but I actually think it is worth repeating.
As you can see from this chart here, our revenue for Q1 2026 was $8.2 million compared to $8 million in the same quarter of Q1 or same quarter Q1 2025. We successfully maintained and improved the high revenue levels generated in 2025.
A portion of that was through the Ace Agencies acquisition in June of last year. Our gross profit for Q1 2026 was $3.6 million, again, compared to $3.5 million for Q1 2025.
The increase in gross profit percentage was again due to increased revenues while still maintaining our salary costs that form part of the cost of services. Our gross margin percentage was 44.2% in Q1 2026 compared to 43.5% year-over-year Q1 2025, a 70 basis point improvement reflecting a more profitable mix of our business, improved operating leverage, and the impact of cost optimization initiatives across the organization, British Columbia through to Ontario.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2026 was positive $0.1 million, again, compared to $0.3 million in Q1 2025. Now, while the prior year period benefited from delayed timing of certain operating expenses, in particular with regards to audit and legal, underlying adjusted EBITDA performance in Q1 2026 continued to reflect improved operational efficiency and disciplined cost management.
Next slide, please. As you can see here, again, I'm pleased to announce that Tribe continued to make meaningful progress strengthening our balance sheet and improving cash flow in Q1 2026.
Our vendor take-back obligations declined from $4 million in Q1 2025 to $1.25 million this quarter, representing a $2 million or $2,750,000 reduction in VTBs, which equates to 69% year-over-year reduction. I believe this reflects our company's disciplined approach to deleveraging and optimizing our acquisition-related obligations.
In addition, interest expense declined 39% year-over-year from $0.36 million last year to $0.22 million, further improving cash flow and reducing our financing costs. These improvements meaningfully strengthen Tribe's, I believe, our financial position and enhance our financial flexibility as we continue executing on our long-term growth strategy.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined capital management, continued debt reduction, and driving sustainable profitability and, of course, shareholder value. That concludes my financial update.
I'll turn it back to you, Joseph.
Joseph Nakhla
Thanks, Scott. Just to reposition everyone again, our business is really focused on delivering all kinds of different services, mainly property management services for residential living in Canada.
We're the third-largest property management company on the condo side, second largest on the third-party rental and institutional rental management. You'll see that our software and service revenue, it continued to go in the right direction, and it's still a good chunk of our total revenue.
Our transactional revenue, this is all kinds of ancillary services that we sell, some are seasonal, some are regional in nature. Still very strong base, even though it did dip a little bit in that quarter just by nature of the products and services types that we actually make available in the market for that quarter and also the behavior of the market.
I'm happy to shed more light on it if there's any questions about that. Next slide, please.
What is important is continuous growth in our ability to generate revenue per door. What you'll see here is our Q1 2025 numbers versus our Q1 26 versus 25, you'll see our software services and revenues is a very sticky recurring revenue continues to go in the right direction.
The transactional revenue dipped just a touch, as you can see. However, that is, as I mentioned, it's a function of the regional nature and the seasonality.
Then you'll see our total revenue per door continues to be growing. I would say it's industry leader.
What's most important about that is that our buildings do not spend more money because we actually generate more revenue. Our buildings that we manage are healthier.
They still within comparison apples to apples to the rest of the industry or benchmark next to their buildings next door are actually spending overall less money to operate. That's due to the financial planning, the future-proofing, and the discipline we have.
I would also say that our technology plays a big role in limiting the number of mistakes that occur, which unfortunately, because of the complexity of residential living and managing these buildings, happens in multitude of companies. I'm sure it happens to us as well, but it's definitely limited due to the number of workflows that we've been able to automate and actually catch and benchmark different categories and catch those issues really early.
Next slide, please. Wanted to shed a little bit more light.
It seemed a lot more of people on the street were intrigued about our approach and wanted to learn more about it. This concept of the operator as a platform is one, it's kind of inside view into how we operate as an organization.
I'm going to start from the bottom up. We are a service-layer-heavy company, and that is our way of saying the expertise that are required to help a large developer building a neighborhood-changing community in terms of bringing in 500 or 1,000 homes that come in different categories.
One category could be condo, next to it could be a rental building, maybe even some non-for-profit mixed in with some at the very bottom retail and maybe some office space. That service layer requires a level of expertise, licensing, compliance, and rigor understanding of what the particular market needs.
That's why we are licensed and operate across the country. That service layer is heavily aided by our software layer.
This is our own dog food that we've built over the years. It's tried, tested, and true, always going through different modernization.
What that software layer does is it looks at 200-plus workflows, very specific. Could be as simple as allowing a resident to make a payment.
It could be as complex as navigating through and aiding a big capital project for a building. On top of that sits a data layer that we've been able to accumulate.
You can argue, well, doesn't every property management company have data? They don't have them sitting digitized, or don't have them predictive, or they don't have them even benchmarkable.
Difference with us is all of our data sit in pools, and these pools go into a big lake, and that lake essentially allows us to help make better decisions on behalf of that community. That's where the AI layer on the very top sits.
While we're just scratching the surface on that, I know it's a very topical approach. I'm here to tell you that we've been actually behind the scenes using AI for a couple years on the benchmarking side.
Where AI is starting to play a bigger role in our existence as an organization is allowing people to do self-service and self-help as it pertains to our homeowners being able to get quicker, more intelligent answers, our benchmarking in terms of identifying outliers and issues with buildings. Obviously, AI layer can play a major role there.
It can do a significant amount of heavy lifting behind the scenes specifically when it comes to the ability to organize workflows within our organization. Again, we're just scratching the surface on that.
You'll see more and more of that affecting our service delivery in a positive way. We think that's going to not only impact the NPS scores and the satisfaction of our customers, and we sit on top of the industry right now as far as satisfaction is concerned.
It's a difficult industry to create raving fans simply because everybody is very emotional when it comes to their homes. All that being said, I think we're going to take even another leap forward with what AI is going to do.
It's going to also impact our gross margin meaningfully as well as open up further doors for revenue streams that can help the buildings be managed properly and also generate further revenue for us. Next slide, please.
That strategic position is why we're the most unique company of our kind in the space. We work directly and we have a product streams for developers, obviously, boards and owners and landlords products and services, either on the asset management or single-unit management.
We are heavy-touch with the residents. We have significant amount of knowledge of who they are, what their needs are.
We can actually predict further and further down the line here what products and services would make sense for them. We, obviously, think we're a great home for property managers, especially ones that want to be involved in the evolution of what that role looks like.
You look at our property managers, we're incredibly proud of them. We keep adding to them.
That profile looks even different from an industry point of view. Our vendors love us simply because a lot of our tools that we're using allow them to bid properly, be able to be at the forefront of what's required and be able to even start planning forward with future-proofing the health of these buildings.
You're going to see more announcements on that this year. Then we're unique because we actually have a capital projects division, very unique to a residential property management company.
That division is actually going national as we speak. We're working through the legal and compliance requirements there simply because every building that ages requires capital management.
We are not only the number-one company, that's well-documented, that we generate significant amount of dollars and help put money for a rainy day for these buildings, but we also now can help them allocate that capital in the right projects to ensure that the value of their homes is really high. We obviously have very detailed financial workflows with all of our integrations.
Then all of that, we just sit on a pool of data products that really help, again, benchmark how the buildings are doing, how they should be doing, and identify areas that we think we can bring our workflows to help improve the operating costs of these buildings. Next slide, please.
Quick market update. Nothing earth-shattering has changed in the last four weeks since we've seen you last.
However, there's been some announcements, as you'll have read, about these pooled funds that are going to the market to actually take advantage of what maybe unsold, brand-new condos in different parts of Canada whereby they're going out to accumulate these condos, maybe buy them at a little bit of a wholesale price from developers that actually want to hand over that building. I spoke about that a year ago, and it looks like it's actually coming together now in terms of dollars.
We still need help from the government. We're doing our best to be a voice of reason to explain why, operationally, the government has to step in and create some incentives, not necessarily financial incentives, but maybe tax incentives for these pools that are coming in.
We're seeing a lot more activity there. We're pleased to say that the government's approach to deferring some of the HST and GST for either waiving them for brand-new buyers for units that are a million dollars or less and/or contemplating deferring them for developers that actually want to take unsold inventory and renting it out.
We're in talks with multitudes of developers about that. If the government was just to defer that for two years or three years, a developer does not have the obligation of paying HST or GST on a unit that hasn't sold that's being rented under their umbrella, if we can actually get that to go over the line, which I'm positive or at least have positive feelings about it coming to fruition, that will go a long way.
We've got multitudes of developers that we work with, like I mentioned earlier, work with more than 100 that actually have the desire to actually get those out in the market in a rental pool. We've actually created a number of really cool products that can help give them more incentive to either put them in a rental pool and hold on to them, or put them in a rental pool and sell them to investors.
In both cases, we've got products that are actually very specific to it. I'm also hopeful that all I'm hearing at the Ministry of Housing level is that there's going to be a significant reform of the approach of allowing developers to get their permits, management of costs, even shrinking the time from the moment people apply to the moment they get the permit would actually translate into quite a bit of capital that would go back into the construction pool whereby people can actually put the shovel in the ground quicker and actually deploy quicker.
As you will have heard me say before, we were arguably the property management company in Canada that has the largest number of future contracts for brand-new construction coming through the door. They're eventually going to get built.
We're just hoping more and more that the government kind of makes it easier. Now it's more complicated.
It's not a federal problem. It's a federal and all the way down to a municipal level, it has to be a coherent strategy there.
I am hopeful that that will be changing, and they're saying all the right things. Next slide, please.
We, going back to the formula for success, we've been quietly and I would even argue the street hasn't even given us the the love that we deserve in what we've been able to do, but we've been quietly going out there and building the largest repository of of homes under management with a significant large number of digitized vendors now that actually have a full digital workflow to to conduct all that work and and and business through our buildings that we manage. We've been able to obviously streamline processes.
We quite easily have the largest number of workflows that have been either automated or being automated in the industry, and that's reflected in in the way we deliver the service. We I would argue, again, that we have one of the most intelligent service layer that sits on top to allow our key property managers and those that are actually responsible where the rubber hits the road in terms of delivering the service to actually make better decisions.
That's reflected holistically at the macro level when you look at our portfolio of buildings, how well they're managed, and how future-proof they are in terms of capital expectation for the next 5 to 10 years versus other buildings that we that we do not manage, are managed by other traditional models. We have the ability to continue to measure improvements, and we keep putting that in front of our our condo corporations and and rental.
We we in Q1, we actually had actually, post-Q1, we had a Tribe Expo whereby we invited a lot of our customers in in BC to come and and have a number of of work sessions whereby we brought in some expertise on the legal side, insurance side, and a few other areas to speak about what we're seeing in terms of patterns in the industry. We anticipated 200-plus clients to show up.
We ended up with 350. Not to impress, just to impress upon you the importance of what our clients find that we deliver them, which is the knowledge and the expertise that's data-driven, not just feeling-driven, about where the industry is going.
We we we anticipate a lot of that will actually not only translate into a continuous higher level of retention and winning more business, which we're well on our way of doing, but also being able to monetize further by delivering more important services that these types of communities and buildings will have access to traditionally. Next slide, please.
Again, I'll keep repeating our areas of focus: profitable operations. We're here.
We continue to push on that by improving our gross margin and adding more buildings. Our AI expansion continues to be there.
AI is not touching pretty much all the different aspects of our business. Again, we're just scratching the surface on that.
We're really heavily focused on organic growth, a bunch of new campaigns that are going to the market in Q1 will have been the first quarter ever where we actually started to, because we amalgamated all these divisions, to actually start landing the Tribe brand in the different markets. No matter where you are in the country, and I know you're from all over our beautiful country here on the call today, you'll see more and more of the Tribe brand starting to pop up all the way from Ontario out to the coast here.
With that said, I'm happy to take any questions from any of the analysts on the call.
Operator
Thank you, Joseph and Scott. Our first question comes from Paviter Sangha from Haywood Securities.
Paviter Sangha
Hi, guys. Congrats on the quarter.
I'll be asking questions on behalf of Gianluca Tucci of Haywood Securities. With the new CIBC facility in place, how are you guys prioritizing capital right now?
You mentioned some M&A possibly, but is the near-term focus on debt reduction?
Joseph Nakhla
Scott, do you want to take that?
Scott Ullrich
I was going to say, Joseph, do you mind if I take this one on? Yeah.
First off, with regards to M&A, I have two roles at Tribe. One is as the CFO, and the other, I head up the M&A department here.
I can tell you that we're always looking at new partnerships with owners with similar like-minded growth strategies. We bring to the table in addition to our PM skills, we bring the tech that our competition needs to meet current expectations.
It can be a win-win for both of us. Although I have very good relationships with our brokerage community, we prefer to deal direct with those owners considering what the future property management looks like.
We tend to deal directly with those owners, and our discussions can typically take a year or more to come to final partnership because of our relationships with our competitors, we're usually the only company on the other side of the table, and we can both work around each other's time tables. That being said, we're not looking to conclude any of our negotiations in 2026, but we're certainly going to continue our discussions with these future partners.
As Joseph mentioned, we have a number of companies that we have acquired that we're amalgamating in 2026, five five companies under the Tribe Management Inc. brand.
A lot of our focus is going to be that on the short term. With regards to the facility, we have funding available in that facility for future acquisitions.
We have negotiated significantly better terms on the amortization of those loans, allowing us to still look at acquiring and partnering with others while still having reasonable payments, lower interest, extended amortization, certainly not a hit on cash flow.
Paviter Sangha
That's great. We've seen a nice uptick in the gross margin profile of the business, and you mentioned further improvement as you guys optimize operations.
Can we consider this range now the new floor? Where do you see this trending with AI kind of adding into the software mix in the next few years?
Joseph Nakhla
Absolutely. We think that's our floor.
We actually think we can drive that much higher. I've always said on our calls, I think a healthy vision of our company will knock in the 50s and north in terms of gross margin.
It's pretty evident that AI can help a great deal in delivering that. I just don't want to overuse the concept of AI, and I'm not saying you are, but certainly just holistically, AI is just a great tool.
If it's used in the right way, it's absolutely no doubt that it will play a major role. This idea that AI is going to replace property management is just not going to happen.
If anything, there's more and more regulation coming in to ensure and protect against any just absolute digital or AI-driven decision-making for a incredible amount of assets. We're managing 40-plus 40-plus billion dollars worth of assets.
The idea that we're just going to close our eyes and let AI make big decisions on behalf of that for people's homes is not going to happen. However, it can go a long way in allowing us to do more with less, with ratios.
We don't get too deep in breaking out ratios. It's not going to surprise anybody that our ratios are very healthy within the context of property managers can do more with the tools that we've built, either AI-driven or software-driven.
We'll continue to see improvement of that. We also want to do things to drop some predictability for these communities more than what we even offer.
Even though I would argue we're the best in the industry, I still think we can really allow these buildings to be ready for a rainy day quicker. We think there's financial products that can come into the conversation very, very quickly.
We think AI can actually de-risk a lot of that, whether it's lending or insuring. There's going to be a significant amount of injection of our current technology and thesis into bringing in some further revenue streams and improvements to these communities as well.
Paviter Sangha
Great. Kind of sticking along the same theme, how are you thinking about the productivity per property manager changing as you kind of implement more AI into operations?
Joseph Nakhla
Yeah. There's no doubt, if you look at our company from 4 years ago whereby when we were making acquisitions and really just slowly converting from paper into digital, taking people's big folders and converting them into cloud-based data that can actually be accessed through their iPhone or iPad, we started to see improvements in terms of ratio.
That ratio is becoming significantly, meaningfully bigger now, and that's reflected even in our revenue per door, but meaningfully simply because we can actually give them things to worry about, to contemplate. I would say ratio in terms of time of our property managers and property management teams, because it's not just one person, it's that person and its community coordinators, it's their property accountant.
That team is kind of responsible for all different aspects of the health of our communities. Those groups are able to not only worry about bigger projects and bigger items that really mean more for our condo owners and our REITs and/or family offices on the rental side, but also the ratio is improving.
Our ability to take best practices and put them in more communities is also improving. That's all collectively getting better.
We don't publicly go out and speak about those ratios, but you should assume that they're significantly better than other organizations, and that continues to improve.
Paviter Sangha
Great. Just finally, in terms of the integration of your GTA property management businesses, how is that progressing on the technology side of things?
Joseph Nakhla
Thanks for bringing that up. Q4 was the time when we actually worked significantly on the corporate amalgamation, bringing them under a similar umbrella, changing slightly the geography as it pertains to responsibility from a leadership point of view.
Q1 is the one where we're actually deploying our technology into these communities. I can say it's going incredibly well.
It's the new technology, the stack that we're putting out into these communities that they had maybe third-party technology before when those companies were actually licensing other software platforms, not Tribe's. Our Tribe Home and our Tribe Pro are continue to be deployed in these communities, going really, really well with great response.
Believe it or not, we're still yet to even start realizing the benefit of our marketplace and our ability to generate further transactions from these communities just simply because we just put our software in there. You'll see improvement in that through '26.
Paviter Sangha
That's great to hear. Okay.
Thanks, I'll pass the line back over. Congrats on the quarter.
Thanks, Pavitra.
Joseph Nakhla
Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. Thanks, Paviter.
We also have a few questions sent in from analysts. Our first set of questions come from Daniel Rosenberg of Paradigm Capital.
His first question asks: We have recently seen new software startups in the rental space, including features that allow residents to pay rent with credit cards and earn rewards points. Have you seen landlords and residents explore these solutions?
What is your overall view of them?
Joseph Nakhla
Great question. We've seen them, too.
The not a single one of them will exist without knocking on our doors to let us see what they've got under the hood. I'm going to break it into two because Daniel cited a specific use case, which is payment and rewards.
We've just concluded a pilot that we're very, very pleased with. You'll see some news on that.
We think there's a few pretenders in the space as it pertains to payments. It's my way of saying, quite frankly, actually, if you do the math, we're not delivering or, in this case, a product isn't delivering real value to the homeowners simply because they don't do enough volume to justify a lower transaction fee whereby you get real value as a homeowner from a rewards point of view or a tenant from a rewards point of view.
We weren't interested, and we aren't interested in peddling products, quite frankly, to leverage our size whereby we know this isn't absolutely the best way for our customers. When we do announce something around that, it's a product we stand by.
It's a product that adds value to you as a homeowner whereby transaction fee will be lower than you could do on your own, and the value you're receiving in terms of rewards will be higher than you can do on your own. If the product meets that threshold, we're in.
We think we found that. We pilot it, and we absolutely love it, and you'll see more news on that.
Specifically now, that was specific answer to the point about payments. Everybody should know that we have multitudes of different ways you can make your payments in our platform, but we wanted to bring a really fun and rewarding way to get a further points rewards of some sort.
You'll see more on that. As far as pop-up companies that are dropping and sometimes really well-thought-out features or products around rental management, you're absolutely right.
A ton of them are out there. I have to say, I'm a fan of a couple.
We always look. We always learn.
We always see what it is. We've piloted one that we were very, very pleased with specifically around cultivating tenants and the lease-up process on the rental side, a product that we were very pleased with.
Our team, both on the single unit and on the institutional, like big building for lease-ups, used it, big, big fans. We will be doubling down in that product in some shape or form, and that will become more and more part of our tools.
We're approached, quite frankly, every day with different products and services that we're looking at. None of it is too concerning for us because we're so entrenched.
If you go back to my earlier presentation today where I spoke about these four layers, those four layers are incredibly difficult to replace, especially if you're doing a good job in them. We welcome those products and services.
We are piloting a few, and we are also building some of our own that can be complementary to the service delivery.
Operator
Thank you, Joseph. Daniel's second question asks: You mentioned a focus on expanding revenue per home.
Can we dive a bit deeper into the opportunities and challenges you are seeing?
Joseph Nakhla
For sure. The numbers don't lie.
We've been improving our revenue per door from the moment we came to existence, quite frankly. It's not rocket science how we do it.
You deliver better service, you're able to charge more for new opportunities that you're coming through. It's not because people just want to throw money at you.
They're doing that because they know the building in your hands is significantly more protected and better served than in other hands. They don't mind paying a little bit extra to you knowing that the overall cost for operation is lower.
I always joke, but it's the true statement: nobody ever, ever, ever, when they're buying a condo, says, "How much are we paying our property management?" They always ask the question, "How much is my maintenance fee?"
on the condo side, right? If your maintenance fee is within alignment of what it should be, but the building is in really healthy, in good shape, that is where you want to live and that constitutes success.
On the transactional side of the business, honestly, I think we are just scratching the surface. Our marketplace, while I think we've done a pretty good job in taking that product to market, I still think has just an incredible amount of opportunity from a growth point of view.
Most people don't understand that a single household in Canada that lives in a condo spends approximately, and this is even a couple years old, but spends approximately $60,000 annually on things that are around their home, things that are related directly or indirectly to their home. Tribe is just scratching the surface on that.
In terms of wallet size and being able to leverage our size and bring in products that really are meaningful that make people's lives better in the homes that they live in, we think that's a tremendous opportunity. Then it's not a surprise, I've been public about that before, we manage well above $200 million of capital expenditure annually on behalf of our buildings.
If you break that out and see how much of that goes towards plumbing, goes towards handyman services, goes towards cleaning, we still yet to mobilize and actually create a genuine ecosystem, full ecosystem to actually allow our condo corporations and stratas, as we call them, and even allow our big REITs and family offices to even leverage the size that they have to actually deliver them even a lower OpEx. It's pretty low, but we can even drive even a truck through that and actually continue to make further revenue from a transaction point of view.
Again, we're just scratching the surface on that. We look and see we're generating $10 per month per door.
That's unheard of for the industry. I can make that statement simply because we looked at a lot of companies that we've either bought or didn't buy.
We know these numbers are incredible, but we still think we're just, again, scratching the surface on that. That's why I'm pretty confident we are going to get to the 50s in terms of gross margin.
Again, just do remember, our gross margin is genuine gross margin. We put all of our cost of goods, we load them up.
It's not something that we just use as a vanity number. It's actually how we use and operate internally.

Thank you, Joseph. Our next set of questions come from Gabriel Leung of Beacon Securities.
His first question asks: What do you anticipate will be the key drivers of operating leverage this year, and where are you seeing the biggest opportunities for efficiency gains across the business?
Joseph Nakhla
I don't want to bore everybody because I've touched a lot on a lot of that stuff. We do think AI in our accounting service delivery will go a long way, us putting programs together to help a lot of our vendors, the vendors that render services for our buildings, even helping them get into the 21st century using either AI or using some of the visual tools we've built to let them bill better, bill more accurately, and be more competitive.
We think that's going to go a long way. That's going to also help the way we count for all these communities and prepare their financials for them.
The other big lever is going to be that ratio I spoke about earlier in terms of allowing our smartest, more expert minds and our big compliance to really focus on these things versus a lot of administrative things. That's AI and other software platforms that we've built to go a long way and allowing them to continue to do that, improving that ratio.
Then just identifying and benchmarking opportunities where we can say, "Hey, XYZ building, we see that as a blind spot coming in the next 5 years. Take our capital expenditure expertise that we have gained and acquired that manages a lot of capital expenditure annually right now and take that across the country and productize it, meaning doesn't matter whether you have a $50,000, $100,000 project or you have a $5 million project, we can actually manage that for you and do it properly using our data stack and our expertise."
These are all operating levers that I been saying, we're just scratching the surface on.

Thank you, Joseph. Gabriel's next question asks: Aside from M&A, what do you view as the three key revenue growth levers for the near term?
Joseph Nakhla
Kind of touched a little bit more about that. The organic side of it, you've got your traditional buildings that are starting to realize that they need a stronger helping hand to navigate through a rainy day and/or challenges that they've got, or they may not just be anywhere close to the satisfaction level that they're having.
We're seeing more and more of that in terms of proposals. I don't think we've ever had as many RFPs out in the market as we do now.
The organic growth will continue to be a driver. We're also seeing an uptick in interest in those rental products that I spoke about earlier.
The heavy lifting on that is just we need a little bit of help from the government to come in and make it worthwhile for people to incentivize them essentially without giving them cash to take these products to the rental pools in the market. We think that's a tremendous opportunity, and we're sitting really good for that.
Despite what you're hearing the doom and gloom, buildings that got started in the last 4 years have to complete. Q1, actually, we had two or three large properties that just got delayed.
That's not a reflection of anything other than just some permits and completion and some trades. Those are going to be big drivers for us as well.

Thank you, Joseph. There are no further questions.
I will now pass the call back to Joseph for closing remarks.
Joseph Nakhla
Thank you, everyone. Great questions, more under the hood, operational questions this call, it's great to hear.
We're very pleased and thankful for our team and their hard work to continue to be making that big push towards profitability. I'm very, very bullish on where our company is at.
We are a bit of a unicorn in terms of uniqueness for both in the service delivery side, the geography side, and the accumulation of all the tech-backed services that we've been able to put under one hood. Very, very pleased with what we've done with it.
I am bullish on where AI can play a big role in improving that, but not just for the sizzle of AI. It's actually, in our case, in everything from the moment we right now write a line of code all the way to delivering agents that can answer better questions for our communities and our customers.
We're still bullish in our own company. You look at activities in the last 12 to 18 months, and the insiders' belief in us writing checks in all the last few rounds.
We think we're incredibly undervalued. We understand the street is just slowly coming around to understanding what we're set out to do, and I think the numbers will speak for themselves, especially when you look at the size, revenue, and now the profitability profile.
Thanks for taking interest in our organization, and thanks to our team for all the hard work, Scott and his team for delivering another great quarter, and we'll see you guys in the market and we'll see you next quarter. Thanks, again.
