Matterport Receives Comparably awards for Best Company Culture and Best Company for Women Multiple category wins demonstrate Matterport’s dedication to its people SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (“Matterport”) (Nasdaq: MTTR), the leading spatial data company driving the digital transformation of the built world, today announced that Matterport has won two Comparably Awards, including Best Company Culture and Best Company for Women. Matterport ranked in the top 50 for small/mid-sized companies in both categories. “As our team of Matterpeeps continues to grow, promoting our employees’ quality of life and ensuring that Matterport is a place where women can thrive have remained top priorities,” said Jean Barbagelata, Chief People Officer of Matterport. “These awards feel particularly meaningful because they are based on feedback from our own people. We’re proud to hear that our employees, of which 40 per cent are female, feel empowered and connected, even during a global pandemic.” Best Company Culture Award Comparably’s Best Company Culture category focuses on 16 core culture metrics, ranging from compensation and career growth to leadership and work environment. Feedback was anonymously collected by employees during a 12-month voting period between November 2020 and November 2021. Best Company for Women Award Comparably’s Best Company for Women category is based on sentiment ratings provided by female employees who anonymously rated their companies during a 12-month voting period between November 2020 and November 2021. Rankings were determined by a series of 50 questions in 20 core culture metrics, including compensation, career growth, leadership, and work environment. To achieve its goal of creating an inclusive workplace that brings out the best in each individual, Matterport holds monthly discussions on a variety of diversity and inclusion topics and provides an inclusion-focused Slack channel for employees to have more informal discussions. Additionally, all employees are trained on recognizing and responding to unconscious bias.

RPM Pizza Streamlines Store Renovation with Matterport and Cuts Project Time in Half America’s largest Domino’s Pizza Franchisee uses Matterport digital twins to remotely manage maintenance and projects for 30 stores SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), the leading spatial data company driving the digital transformation of the built world, today announced that RPM Pizza, the largest Domino’s Pizza franchisee in the country, adopted Matterport to expedite the simultaneous redesign and renovation of 30 stores in just six months, a process that would typically take twice as long. By capturing digital twins of stores with Matterport, the company has cut the time to initiate these projects by 50 percent by enabling virtual site visits and collaboration in 3D. “Improving store design and layout lets us better serve our customers,” said Nate Lee, Facilities Manager for RPM Pizza. “Two of our key principles for serving our facilities' clients are reasonable cost and on-time response. To meet these goals, we needed to improve their space at a reasonable cost as quickly as possible. Matterport helped us achieve that.” In order to meet RPM Pizza’s goal of reducing the average delivery time (ADT) between receiving and delivering an order, the company needed to redesign store layouts and upgrade the equipment to increase food prep efficiency. Digital twins - or photorealistic, accurate 3D replicas of each store - enabled facilities managers to virtually assess areas of improvement for each store, significantly shorten lengthy bidding processes, and ensure that expensive, new equipment would fit by using accurate digital measurements. “Matterport enables us to communicate more clearly and consistently with our contractors and leadership. This new workflow allows them to visit the store without needing to travel, so we can work together in real time to make informed decisions about the project,” continued Lee. RPM relies on Matterport as a tool for ongoing collaboration even after renovations are complete. If an individual store has an HVAC issue, that store’s digital twin can easily be accessed. Knowing exactly where to find the equipment in question and access the information about it through embedded Mattertags can help troubleshoot the issue on the spot. “RPM Pizza is a great example of digital twins shifting how facilities are designed, constructed and managed in a progressively more remote world,” said Stephanie Lin, Director of Business Strategy for Retail and AEC at Matterport. “Matterport eases the pain of typically manual and laborious design and build activities such as obtaining site measurements, documenting and maintaining on-site equipment, contractor bidding and negotiation, and complex coordination between facility management related trades. All of this enables teams to remain connected at every stage of the process by providing quick and easy access to retrieve current store conditions while maximizing efficiency at the same time.” Learn about Matterport for Facilities Management here.

Matterport Powers New Experiences for Retailers and Consumers Retailers turn to digital twins to reach consumers virtually while providing offline, shoppable experiences SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (“Matterport”) (Nasdaq: MTTR), the leading spatial data company driving the digital transformation of the built world, is powering new experiences for retailers and their customers. Using Capture Services On-Demand, Matterport Pro2 cameras, or the Matterport Smartphone app, retail customers are creating virtual showrooms, curating shoppable digital experiences with e-commerce integration, and making store operations more efficient. “Our retail customers use Matterport technology in a variety of different ways, whether that’s creating a virtual showroom where consumers can shop for holiday gifts or using digital twins to remotely manage store design and operations,” said Conway Chen, Vice President of Business Development of Matterport. “Even for consumers who may be locked down in their own country due to the pandemic, they can still visit their favorite store virtually and see merchandise presented in a real space, as if they were walking through an actual showroom. Our technology is also allowing influencers and designers to merchandise their products directly to their followers. Matterport technology is improving the shopping experience for both retailers and consumers.” Harrods uses Matterport Capture Services to create virtual showroom for consumers With travel still not possible for many Harrods customers, the world-renowned London-based department store searched for a creative solution that would still allow customers to visit. Using Matterport Capture Services, a platform for enterprise customers to connect with Matterport Capture Technicians to scan spaces, Harrods created a virtual showroom showcasing its new home and furniture department. The immersive experience provides personal shopping consultations and allows customers to view products so they can better plan an in-store visit, if desired. For Harrods, Matterport offered the solution needed to create a more immersive virtual shopping experience than traditional online shopping. “Whilst travel may still be impossible for some of our customers, we wanted to find a creative solution for them to visit the department from the comfort of their home, no matter where in the world that may be,” says Annalise Fard, Director of Interiors, Beauty, Fine Watches and Jewelry at Harrods. “We also thought Matterport would be a great tool for customers who would rather shop from home through our personal shopping services or for those customers that would like to peruse the showroom ahead of visiting Harrods to help them better plan their visit.” Read the case study. Openhaus creates immersive e-commerce platform with Matterport featuring influencer homes Carson Clement, co-founder of Openhaus and a Matterport Pro2 owner, was inspired by the camera’s ability to create digital twins. The technology inspired him to launch Openhaus – a shoppable, virtual home tour experience that invites consumers to shop the homes of influencers, designers, and tastemakers. With Matterport’s smartphone app available for iPhone and Android, these influencers create a digital twin of their physical space, and use Mattertags within these spaces allowing shoppers to view their homes, and interact with and purchase household items featured through these digital twins. “Brands spend a lot of money making their retail spaces beautiful, but those are limited by physical geography constraints,” said Clement. “We can capitalize on those investments with gorgeous, immersive online shopping experiences in 3D. For companies that want consumers to spend more time engaging with their brands in a memorable way, Openhaus is an ideal solution,” says Clement. Read the case study.

Matterport Unveils Reporting Tool to Showcase Carbon Reduction Achieved Using Digital Twins SUNNYVALE, California, Wednesday, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), announced the launch of avoided emissions reporting for select enterprise customers, measuring the emissions savings associated with the use of Matterport’s digital twin platform. Developed with independent carbon accounting experts, the reports enable enterprise customers to understand the impact of emissions avoided by collaborating remotely instead of traveling to inspect facilities onsite. There has been a growing expectation from corporations to operate climate-consciously. Organizations of all sizes are making ambitious commitments to reduce their carbon footprint (GHG emissions) by pledging alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and setting science-based targets to limit global temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius. Matterport’s 3D digital twins are sustainability in action, providing tools to help businesses to reduce Scope 3 emissions for tasks that traditionally require travel to complete, such as tours, inspections, progress monitoring, change management, and more. The more 3D digital twins are incorporated into day-to-day operations, the greater impact they can drive towards an organization’s sustainability goals. For businesses with significant property portfolios and those that are globally dispersed, this life-like virtual collaboration also offers the ability to significantly reduce costs, while freeing up team members to work more productively remotely. “Enterprises increasingly need proof-of-value that their technology investments are both driving impact to the bottom line, and their overall carbon footprint,” said Qadira Harris, Senior Director of Global Responsibility at Matterport. “These new reporting capabilities quantify the sustainable impact of digital twins, empowering enterprises to streamline their property decisions with results they can stand behind.” A Fortune 100 Matterport customer said, “As a product owner, I want to provide users with sustainability benefits of my digital twin solutions. The avoided emissions report is informative with a concise format that contextualizes our aggregated impact.” Emissions avoided are calculated based on the reduction in business travel enabled by digital twins, taking into account factors such as the number of digital spaces created, geographic location, and site visits. Customer reports are tailored to their primary use cases—like property marketing, insurance, design and construction, or facilities management. These considerations are then balanced against the estimated emissions from creating and hosting each digital twin to determine the total emissions avoided. Matterport avoided emissions reports, currently available to select enterprise customers, to allow for a comprehensive assessment of sustainability gains. These reports will be broadly released later this year, with customer feedback informing further enhancements and scalability.

New iGUIDE Lead Magnet Generates Real-Time Leads for Real Estate Professionals The exclusive product feature lets buyers viewing iGUIDE’s 3D Virtual Tours request additional property details providing agents with instant leads. WATERLOO, Ontario, Tusday, April 30, 2024 – Planitar Inc., makers of iGUIDE, a proprietary camera and software platform for capturing and delivering 3D virtual tours and property data, today introduced iGUIDE Lead Magnet—an exclusive product feature designed to help real estate agents capture leads and get market feedback in real-time as prospective buyers view iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour property listings. iGUIDE Lead Magnet is an interactive pop-up element that appears in the iGUIDE Viewer as potential buyers explore real estate listings. The feature allows buyers to request more details by providing their contact information in exchange for receiving access to additional visuals via an email or SMS from the listing agent. The agent now can engage with the qualified lead as they choose. "This new product feature is about forging relationships in real estate,” said Alexander Likholyot, the CEO and co-founder of Planitar Inc. “Even after Covid-19, industrywide adoption of 3D tours in real estate has barely crossed into double digits, as listing agents haven’t been able to capture feedback about a property or start a conversation with potential buyers within a 3D tour. The new iGUIDE Lead Magnet solves both problems by letting buyers share their contact information to get access to additional property visuals delivered in the detailed version of iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour while encouraging buyers to ask questions and provide feedback about the listing. This exchange gives agents a way to contact and engage with qualified, interested buyers and connect with potential future listing prospects.” In addition to generating real-time leads 24/7, iGUIDE Lead Magnet empowers buyers to provide valuable feedback directly on the virtual listings, offering agents insights they can share with sellers. Real estate professionals have the flexibility to streamline their communication process by automatically responding to leads via email or SMS, saving time while still delivering personalized responses tailored to each potential buyer's inquiries. Here’s how it works: 1. A pop-up form appears in the iGUIDE Viewer after a prospective buyer explores the listing. 2. A prospective buyer can elect to provide their contact information for access to additional property visuals delivered via the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour. 3. The listing agent receives an alert, either by text or email, with the prospective buyer’s contact information. If configured, an automatic email is sent at the same time to the prospective buyer with the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour link. 4. The agent can choose to send an automatic or custom response, providing the buyer with the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour and engaging them into a conversation or arranging for a Virtual Showing if a curated agent-guided iGUIDE experience is desired. Key features and benefits of iGUIDE Lead Magnet include: 1. Buyer lead data is sent in real-time via email notification or SMS. 2. Prospective buyers are encouraged to provide valuable feedback that the listing agent can share with the sellers. 3. Minimal effort is required by an agent to set up and maintain while retaining control over listing visuals, as well as client communications. 4. iGUIDE Lead Magnet takes advantage of the unique way iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tours can hide and show visuals and/or rooms creating two unique iGUIDE versions. 5. There is no additional cost above the iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour. The exclusive, new product feature is available on all iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tours (Instant, Standard & Premium). 6.

BMO Accelerates Branch Transformation at More Than 500 Locations Nationwide Using Matterport Digital Twins BMO, North America’s eighth largest bank by assets, drives sustainability and efficiencies on branch rebranding and design management using Matterport’s digital twin platform SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR) announced that BMO (NYSE: BMO), the eighth largest bank in North America by assets, has leveraged Matterport’s digital twin platform to streamline site visits across its physical footprint for multiple areas of the bank. BMO provides a broad range of personal and commercial banking, wealth management, global markets, and investment banking products and services to 13 million customers. In December 2021, BMO announced its plans to acquire Bank of the West (BOTW). Part of that process included transforming 503 BOTW retail branches to BMO, each of which required rebranding and technology updates. With a need to review each of the locations to create plans for rebranding and other work, BMO utilized Matterport’s Capture Services, the company’s global network of expert capture technicians, to swiftly generate 3D digital twins of each space, including accurate floor plans. In three months, BMO digitally captured all 503 BOTW branches, saving costs for travel and site visits, and approximately 6,000 hours of equivalent survey work. Previously, the team responsible for this type of work relied on multiple on-site visits to each location to scope the design and technology updates required to bring the interior of the branch to comply with BMO brand standards. Critical documentation like floor plans was often missing from record drawings, creating an early design hurdle. BMO also leveraged Matterport’s exportable schematic floor plans to create a full complement of assets in a fraction of time, further reducing site visits. “BMO’s Digital First model is critical to how we do business. That’s why engaging Matterport was so important for this work. It enabled us to create digital twins that not only significantly reduced branch disruptions but also saved time and money,” said Lisa Near, BOTW Program Manager, North American Physical Channels, BMO. “Our work with BMO is a great demonstration of the scale and precision our customers can expect from Matterport,” said Jay Remley, Chief Revenue Officer, Matterport. “Our global network of capture professionals enables organizations just about anywhere in the world to manage the transition and operations of property acquisitions more seamlessly, helping brands like BMO get up and running faster, with a fraction of the time and resources.” Since the BOTW project, the platform has seen widespread demand across multiple departments in BMO. As BMO takes on over 50 projects each year across the US, the bank expects to continue reducing branch visits while saving significant time, money, and carbon emissions with Matterport’s end-to-end solutions. Matterport is leading the digitization of the built world, helping customers better access, understand and utilize properties through its next-generation 3D digital twin.

Why CoStar planned acquisition of Matterport is Good News for Competitors Commentary and Analysis by Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network | WGAN-TV CoStar’s planned acquisition of Matterport this year is great news for all 3D/360 digital twin/virtual Tour platforms and software. (And, by extension, real estate photographers that offer virtual tours.) This may seem counterintuitive. CoStar Founder and CEO Andy Florance said during the CoStar earnings call Tuesday (23 April 2024) that he intends to make Matterport ubiquitous among all CoStar marketplace brands including: CoStar, LoopNet, Apartments.com, Homes.com and Ten-X. So, if Matterport becomes ubiquitous among all CoStar brands, how does this help competitors? The ways Matterport becoming ubiquitous, is key to understanding why Matterport competitors will also succeed faster too. For example: 1. CoStar Competitors Will Not Advertise CoStar: In its 10+ years, Matterport has always required its logo in each tour. While CoStar should offer a white-label version of Matterport (no Matterport branding) to show competitors that it welcomes their use of Matterport, it is more likely that the Matterport branding will morph into “Matterport - a CoStar Company” … That’s what big companies do. Google “box of Oreo cookies” to see examples of what’s likely coming soon to Matterport digital twins. If that happens, CoStar competitors will likely block Matterport digital twins from being used on their marketplace and encourage the use of all other 3D/360 digital twin platforms. Can you imagine Zillow allowing CoStar branding on its platform? Even if it did, Zillow likely would “move-up” other listings in Zillow search. Zillow already does this with its Zillow 3D Home tours. 2. More Free Matterport Digital Twin Captures: CoStar will likely include more Matterport digital twins captured for free in their top tier agent/broker marketing packages – if not all packages. For example, presently, Apartments.com, a CoStar company, includes Matterport digital twin capture in 3 of 4 of the Apartments.com ad packages. (LoopNet has similar style agent/broker advertising packages.) CoStar will likely add more Matterport capture services because it can make more money from agents and brokers buying its ad packages than selling Matterport digital twins as a standalone product to its various CoStar marketplace brands’ clients. (That’s Phase 1). CoStar can make more money by increasing the number of listing views and the time spent viewing a listing. Integrating Matterport Capture Services and VHT Studios (a Subsidiary of Matterport) Digital Pro package into all CoStar brands’ marketing packages will take time. That’s Phase 2. “We intend to make a much greater commitment to capturing 3D digital twins,” said Florance during the CoStar first quarter 2024 earnings call. Additionally, CoStar likely has hundreds of employees – not independent contractors – that do Matterport scanning (and other digital property marketing listing services). CoStar competitors will need to offer a similar 3D/360 digital twin option. It’s likely they will seek out other 3D/360 platforms to either buy or develop a co-marketing strategy. For example, Zillow’s ShowingTime+ Listing Showcase offers a Zillow 3D Home tour in its packages. According to a marketing video on the ShowingTime+ website: “Listing Showcase can flex with your business needs like per-listing purchase options and the choice to use your own photographer or book one through ShowingTime+ Listing Media Services for a turnkey media experience. Your AI powered Showcase listing will feature high res photography, room-by-room organization, a virtual tour and an interactive floor plan that connects the photography to the location in the home.” In December 2022, Zillow acquired VRX Media to create a national photographer network, elevating listing media through ShowingTime+ brand. In August 2023, Zillow acquired Aryeo for its network of real estate photographers, robust digital marketing services and content management platform. 3. Super Bowl 2025: The CoStar vision is to “establish Homes.com as the #1 residential real estate marketplace,” according to a slide in the CoStar First Quarter 2024 Investor Presentation (Page 24). CoStar will aggressively advertise Matterport + Homes.com to take on Zillow: the leader in the space. A quick review of a graph titled “Portal Traffic Wars Average Monthly Unique Users” dated February 29, 2024 by industry thought-leader Mike Delprete shows the CoStar challenge. Zillow has three times the number of monthly unique users. I anticipate 2025 Super Bowl ads (as I discussed in a We Get Around Network Forum post) as just one of the consumer marketing tactics. While I do not believe CoStar would box-out competitors from using Matterport, it’s more likely that competitors will not want to wait to find out. Perception equals reality. CoStar competitors will need to offer a similar 3D/360 digital twin option and seek out other 3D/360 platforms to either buy or develop a co-marketing strategy. 4. CoStar Guarantee: While I provided examples of CoStar including Matterport tour capture services in its top tier agent packages (Apartments.com ad packages and LoopNet ad packages for examples), I could imagine CoStar offering this guarantee: “CoStar Guarantees more referrals and more time spent on your listings when you include a Matterport digital twin.” CoStar could make this claim because as CoStar revealed during its earnings call, CoStar research shows: In March of this year, there were over 7.4 million views of Matterport 3D tours on Apartments.com. Visitors who interact with the Matterport on Apartments.com spend 16.6 minutes on the site, which is 134% more than the 7.1 minutes time on site if they do not interact with a Matterport. Properties with a Matterport generated 74 leads, which is 10x the seven leads generated for property without Matterport. According to Florance: “We intend to add Matterport as one of the benefits of Homes.com membership. We believe adding 3D digital twins for Homes.com members will increase the leads we deliver, increased customer satisfaction, increased renewal rates, increased sales and increased site traffic further.” 5. Matterport and Photos Become Table Stakes: In the same earnings call, Florance also said he will make the inclusion of Matterport table stakes for all its marketplaces: just as photos are table stakes now. While that still may be many years away, CoStar competitors will need to offer a similar 3D/360 digital twin option and seek out other 3D/360 platforms to either buy or develop a co-marketing strategy so that they are not left behind: particularly if usage of Matterport digital twins growth rate is exponential rather than linear. Florance said: “I believe we're standing on the verge of a potential exponential acceleration in the technology surrounding 3D digital twins, which will create transformative value for real estate.” 6. Technology Roadmap to Favor CoStar: “CoStar Group was one of the first adapters of Matterport's technology and currently has almost 300,000 Matterport digital twins available in the CoStar information product and online property marketplaces," said Florance during the earnings call. "We intend to go all in on 3D digital twins adding more digital twins to Apartments.com, LoopNet, Homes.com, CoStar, Land.com, BizBuySell, Real Estate Manager, STR, Belbex on the market and others.’ Florance also said, “We see the acquisition is giving us increased ability to influence the product roadmap for Matterport to best serve our clients needs." If CoStar competitors are to keep-up with CoStar, they too will need to speedup the technology roadmap to stay competitive. This means CoStar competitors will also need to become major clients of Matterport competitors or buy a Matterport competitor. 7. Matterport Matterpeeps: CoStar plans to add more Matterport sales and marketing people. Those on the receiving end of those pitches will research Matterport competitors. 8. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Meets Spatial Data: AI applied to spatial data and capture automation (think robots and drones) will further accelerate the adoption curve of digital twins/virtual tours by driving capture costs down. Matterport calls its AI powered offering Property Intelligence that it has started rolling out this year. Matterport competitors have also announced AI applied to their digital twins. CoStar competitors that need to offer a similar AI option will seek out other digital twin platforms that offer this capability to either buy or develop a co-marketing strategy. A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats The CoStar planned acquisition of Matterport by the end of 2024 is likely a rising tide event that lifts all 3D/360 virtual tour/digital twin boats. At one time, I thought of Matterport as the 800 pound gorilla in the digital twins for residential real estate space. Soon there will be a new, much bigger gorilla. Matterport competitors should be elated that Matterport is being acquired by CoStar — a company that did 16 times gross revenue ($2.46 billion) versus Matterport’s gross revenue ($157.7 million) in 2023. CoStar will expand the market for digital twins/virtual tours: not kill Matterport competitors. As a result of CoStar gorilla-size advertising, I could imagine home sellers selecting a real estate agent that includes virtual tours to help get more offers sooner for more money with the least amount of stress. Agents will (finally) get it that they can win more and bigger premium listings by offering virtual tours in their listing marketing plan. (And, home sellers will be smart enough to say to a potential real estate agent that a slideshow is not a virtual tour.) I would not be surprised to see at least one Matterport competitor running a marquee banner ad in the We Get Around Network Forum with headlines such as: -- Does

How CoStar Acquiring Matterport Affects Real Estate Photographers that Offer Matterport Commentary and analysis by: Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network and WGAN-TV Atlanta, Georgia If you are like most of the 18,000+ monthly readers of the We Get Around Network Forum — a real estate photographer that offers Matterport to help sell, lease or rent residential and commercial real estate — you are likely wondering if the news Monday (April 22, 2024) that Matterport has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by CoStar Group is good news for you. Congratulations. You won the lottery. For real estate photographers that offer Matterport, the symbiotic relationship - like bees and flowers - of Matterport and CoStar will result in: 1. Increased demand for Matterport digital twins from CoStar clients not presently using Matterport 2. Increased demand for Matterport digital twins from CoStar clients using Matterport 3. Increase demand for Matterport digital twins from non-CoStar clients 4. Higher Add On prices for Matterport digital twins as we know them today 5. leverage Matterport’s spatial data 6. More demand for professional images, video and aerial services 7. More demand for related digital marketing services such as 3D/360/2D virtual staging 8. More Matterport Partners offering integrations for residential and commercial real estate 9. Matterport seamless integrations among Matterport, CoStar brands and enterprise clients CoStar excels at creating, acquiring and growing property marketplaces for selling, leasing, renting and managing residential and commercial real estate. And, as a result of being a very big client of Matterport for nearly 10 years — CoStar’s research shows that its marketplace listings with Matterport digital twins increases time spent viewing listings. That likely translates to: 1. Sellers using Matterport virtual tours get more offers, sooner resulting in more money 2. Real Estate agents and brokers win more and bigger premium listings 3. Buyers, lessors and renters have more confidence making decisions We Get Around Network Forum readers likely have used these talking points for years to help sell Matterport as an Add On for marketing and managing properties. According to the CoStar media release on Monday, “CoStar Group operates some of the most effective and widely recognized real estate information solutions and online property marketplaces in the world including Apartments.com, LoopNet, CoStar, and Homes.com, all of which feature Matterport’s 3D virtual tours. CoStar Group was one of the first adopters of Matterport’s technology, and currently has almost 300,000 Matterport digital twins available in the CoStar information product and online property marketplaces. Advertisers on CoStar Group marketplaces clearly recognize the value of Matterport virtual tours. In March 2024, there were over 7.4 million views of Matterport 3D Tours on Apartments.com, with consumers spending 20% more time viewing an apartment listing when Matterports were available. CoStar Group intends to utilize Matterports in a similar fashion on Homes.com to further enhance the most comprehensive agent, seller and buyer friendly residential portal on the market.” CoStar — a company that did 16 times gross revenue ($2.46 billion) versus Matterport’s gross revenue ($157.7 million) in 2023 — has the scale to aggressively market Matterport digital twins. Costar will likely, aggressively: 1. feature Matterport — and Matterport AI powered features — in all its marketplace listings 2. offer Matterport as an Add On 3. Include in its marketing bundles, Matterport’s Capture Services or the all-in-one offering from its VHT Studios subsidiary 4. Advertise in the 2025 Super Bowl its Homes.com and Apartments.com marketplaces highlighting listings with Matterport digital twins. 5. Sell Matterport to its enterprise clients leverage the Matterport SDK for seamless integrations 6. Consider a pricing model such as free Matterport digital twin with your [CoStar platform] listing. (The photographer still gets paid.) For clarification, think about how razor blade companies make money on selling blades and photocopier companies making money selling toner or ink cartridges. 7. Seek innovative ways to add value to Matterport clients While Matterport pumped the brakes in the last 12 months — laying off 30 percent of its workforce to achieve profitability in 2024 —CoStar will remove the brakes and step on the Matterport gas pedal. For example, CoStar will increase Matterport hiring for: 1. Research and Development 2. AI and Machine Learning 3. Property Intelligence product development 4. Autonomous capture (drones, robots) 5. SDK integrations among CoStar clients using CoStar brands (marketplaces) with Matterport 6. Marketing and Sales 7. Matterport SDK Partner Program (Please see my related We Get Around Network Forum topic: How Matterport Can Succeed Faster with a $25 Million Fund for SDK Partners) According to CoStar Founder and CEO Andy Florance – as quoted in the CoStar media release Monday – “CoStar Group intends to support and invest in research and development opportunities to further develop Matterport’s spatial technology, including the application of AI and machine learning to extract information from the 3D spatial data library as well as using generative artificial intelligence to imagine and reimagine physical spaces.” While I had predicted that Hexagon (Will Matterport be Acquired by Hexagon?) or Google (Why Google Will Acquire Matterport?) would likely acquire Matterport, my initial impression is that Matterport being acquired by CoStar for property marketing and intelligence is a great fit. During the Matterport 2023 Earnings Call, Matterport Chief Financial Officer JD Fay said, “residential real estate represented approximately 50% of subscription revenue in Q4.” I imagine that property marketing for commercial real estate and travel and hospitality represent significant subscription revenue of the remaining 50 percent of subscription revenue. These verticals are also sweet spots among CoStar Group brands and for real estate photographers offering Matterport. Additionally, CoStar has — and likely will — continue to acquire marketplaces in other countries. Matterport operates globally and in multiple languages. So, the symbiotic relationship extends to these international marketplaces as well. While the We Get Around Network community has expressed both excitement and concerns about the pending acquisition, it’s clear to me that real estate photographers that offer Matterport to help sell, lease, rent and manage residential and commercial real estate are all winners. Among the comments: “You should all post on your local news feeds and Facebook profiles that the reason CoStar [plans to] acquired Matterport is because 3D tours really work,” said We Get Around Network Forum Member @GETMYVR For real estate photographers that are using different 3D/360 platforms, the CoStar acquisition of Matterport will grow the market share of other hosting platforms too. I also anticipate that CoStar will enable other 3D and 360 hosting platforms to seamlessly publish to CoStar brands. Costar + Matterport = A rising tide lifts all boats. The more listings to sell, lease, rent or manage properties that include a Matterport digital twin, the more those selling, leasing, and renting will ask agents if they will include a Matterport virtual tour in their listing and the agent, broker or property manager will need to say yes to get the business. And, another digital twin hosting platform may check that box: either because the platform offers benefits that Matterport does not offer or their virtual tour is “good enough” for the agent to win listings. . I am old enough to remember when MLS real estate listings were just text. Today, all listings include photos and some listings have digital twins. That gap will narrow with the help from CoStar: the soon-to-be new 800 pound gorilla in our digital twin space. Plus, if buyer agents disappear as a result of the recent NAR lawsuits, digital twins become that more important for digital property marketing. As a result of the CoStar definitive agreement to acquire Matterport — and the NAR lawsuits — table stakes for residential and commercial real estate listings may soon include photos and digital twins. That said, real estate photographers will need to be patient. It could take until the end of 2024 for the CoStar acquisition of Matterport to actually happen; and then potentially years to seamlessly integrate Matterport team and technology with the various CoStar brands. I can’t wait for the future to arrive. How about you? What are your thoughts about how the planned CoStar acquisition of Matterport will affect you? Please post your thoughts in the We Get Around Network Forum: www.WeGetAroundNetwork.com

CoStar Group to Acquire Matterport, the Global Leader in Immersive 3D Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence for the Real Estate Industry that makes Properties Intuitive and Interactive Online The Transaction is Expected to Increase the Development and Deployment of Advanced AI and Digital Twin Technology Across All of CoStar Group’s Product Lines WASHINGTON, DC – April 22, 2024 - CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information and analytics in the property markets announced today that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Matterport in a cash and stock transaction valued at $5.50 per share reflecting an estimated $1.6 billion of enterprise value. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the agreement, Matterport stockholders will receive $2.75 in cash and $2.75 in shares of CoStar Group common stock for each share of Matterport common stock. Founded in 2011, Matterport pioneered the development of the first 3D capture solution to deliver dimensionally accurate, photorealistic virtual tours or “digital twins” for any type of property. Matterport’s proprietary and patented technology enables anyone to digitize a property using a variety of camera technologies including cameras found on most smartphones. Matterport also produces a line of innovative 3D capture devices, including the company’s flagship LiDAR-based Pro3 camera which is capable of high-precision indoor and outdoor capture. At the center of the solution is Cortex, a powerful artificial intelligence software engine that automatically generates the 3D digital twin and virtual tour while providing property insights like detailed property dimensions, room layouts, and more. Matterport's 3D technology is utilized in nearly every sector of real estate, spanning residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, and industrial spaces, among others. Over the years, Matterport has curated what is considered the largest and most precise collection of spatial property data worldwide, with over 12 million spaces captured in 177 countries, and representing more than 38 billion square feet of digital property under management. Contributing to this growth, Matterport has established a global network of several thousand photographers, capture services technicians, and service partners producing hundreds of thousands of new 3D digital twins for properties each month. CoStar Group operates some of the most effective and widely recognized real estate information solutions and online property marketplaces in the world including Apartments.com, LoopNet, CoStar, and Homes.com, all of which feature Matterport’s 3D virtual tours.
