La Rosa Holdings Corp. Reports 31% Annualized Rate Reduction in Technology Costs in 2025 compared to 2022 Through Proprietary Platform Strategy

Celebration, FL, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) (“La Rosa” or the “Company”), a real estate and PropTech company, today announced a 31% annualized rate reduction in select technology operating costs to date, decreasing from approximately $0.52 million in 2022 to $0.17 million in 2025 resulting in a $0.35 million annual savings, driven by a multi-year strategy to replace third-party software with proprietary, in-house technology solutions purpose-built for its operations.

Key Highlights

• Elimination of multiple third-party software licenses and recurring usage fees
• Improved system integration, performance, and data ownership
• Greater control over security, product roadmap, and innovation cadence

Over the past three years, La Rosa has invested in designing and deploying its own integrated technology stack, consolidating and replacing multiple external vendors with internally developed platforms. This transition has delivered substantial cost savings while improving system performance, integration, data ownership, and long-term scalability. Beyond cost efficiencies, La Rosa’s proprietary technology platform enables faster innovation and better alignment between technology investments and core business objectives, including AI-driven automation and blockchain-based initiatives.

“While our proprietary technology strategy has already delivered meaningful savings, we have also begun to focus on broader, company-wide efficiency measures designed to strengthen our bottom line,” said Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa. “We are taking a disciplined approach to every area of our cost structure, reallocating resources toward initiatives that we expect will generate measurable returns—specifically our pivot into artificial intelligence and data-center infrastructure. These efforts reflect our commitment to building a leaner, more efficient, and more profitable operating model while positioning La Rosa for long-term growth.”

“Our focus was not only cost reduction, but creating technology that fits our business, not the other way around,” said Alex Santos, Chief Technology Officer of La Rosa. “This strategy provides greater flexibility, accelerates innovation cycles, and enables tighter integration across the organization. We intend to continue expanding our proprietary technology capabilities, leveraging automation, artificial intelligence, and blockchain to further drive efficiency, resilience, and long-term competitive advantage.”
