Good afternoon, everyone. I would like to thank you for attending one more teleconference for LPS Brasil, in which we present the earnings for the third quarter of 2022. Here with us in this presentation, we have our Investor Relations Director, Matheus Fabricio, our Financial Officer, Robson Paim, and our Institutional Director, Ciro Naufel. The scenery of the Brazilian real estate market remains quite challenging. Throughout the third quarter, the high level of interest rates and uncertainty because of the economic scenario and elections, we noticed a slight deterioration in the demand and sales over supply. In line with this scenario and with the commitment to seek profitability for shareholders, Lopes continued to do its homework in all segments it operates in.
In our own operations, we were able to maintain stability in sales, participating in a larger volume of launches in the regions in which we operate, especially São Paulo, which concentrated 84% of the volume launched by the company in this period. In franchises, we kept on growing, inaugurating 18 new operations, which was an absolute record since the beginning of Rede Lopes. This growth has been key to keep the level of sales in the secondary market since this segment is quite impacted by the drop in demand for real estate financing due to the higher interest rates. CrediPronto, that operates in this segment, despite the drop in origination, continues to present the best operating indicators in the market. A solid growth in the average balance of the portfolio and generating profit share.
We continue to look carefully to our costs and expenses, seeking to adapt it not only to the current challenging scenario as well as to 2023, which also contributed to the resumption of generating operational cash in this quarter and allows for maintenance of investments in technology, marketing, and Lopes Labs. After these brief remarks, I would like to start the presentation on slide 6 with the highlights of the third quarter of 2022. The PSV launched in the quarter, already adjusted by Lopes' stake in the developments, was BRL 2.5 billion, 14% higher than the same period of last year. The total PSV intermediated by the company reached BRL 2.6 billion in the quarter, 2% higher when compared to the third quarter of 2021. Franchises have sold BRL 1.32 billion, stable compared to the same period of last year.
Our own operations, in turn, have intermediated BRL 1.24 billion, an increase of 2% in the comparison with the same period of 2021. We kept our focus on national growth of our franchises network in presenting the largest absolute growth in number of stores in this quarter. We ended the period with 165 stores, 18 more than in the last quarter, starting the presence of the company in Acre and Mato Grosso states. CrediPronto originated BRL 1 billion in the third quarter, a drop of 38% when compared to the third quarter of last year. According to ABECIP data, the origination from private banks has dropped 39% in the same period. The market share of CrediPronto was 6.5% among private banks, with an average balance portfolio of BRL 13.6 billion, 26% higher than the third quarter of 2021.
Finally, I highlight the consolidated net income of the company before the IFRS, which reached BRL 9.5 million. Let's now move on to slide eight to talk about the launches of our own operations in the third quarter of 2022. On the charts on the left, we can see that the total volume launched by the own operations of the company in the third quarter of 2022 amounted to BRL 4.5 billion, 18% in increase when compared to the third quarter of 2021. The total PSV launched, 84%, was concentrated in the state of São Paulo. On the right, we see the stake of Lopes in the developments launched, which reached BRL 2.5 billion, 14% higher than the same period of last year. On slide nine, we see the results of brokerage operations. On the left, we see the consolidated results of the company.
That is the PSV, our own operations, plus the PSV intermediated by franchises. In comparison with the same period of 2021, there was a growth of 2%, totaling BRL 2.6 billion. In the operation of franchises, there was a contribution that for the most part of the intermediated PSV totaling BRL 1.3 billion, stable when compared to the third quarter of 2021. Our own operations had a slight growth of 2% in the volume intermediated, totaling BRL 1.2 billion. On the lower left of the chart of the slide, we can see that the SOV of the company had a drop in São Paulo from 10% - 7.2%, as well as in the rest of Brazil, from 9.3% to 7.7%, which corroborates the moment that's most challenging in the market. In turn, the sales over supply of the company had a better scenario.
In São Paulo, it had a drop of 9.6% - 9%, and in the rest of Brazil, an improvement of 11%, 14% in comparison to the same period of last year. Let's now move on to slide 10. In this slide, we see the total PSV in the last 12 months, since 2017, including our own operations and franchises, trying to show the consistent growth of the company in its brokerage operations. As we can see, the total transactions of the company in the last 12 months remain stable at BRL 10 billion, BRL 5.4 billion coming from franchises, and BRL 4.8 billion in our own operations. Now, on slide 11, we'll show the results of transactions closed by region, as well as our geographic presence. We ended the quarter present in 21 states and the Federal District.
With 182 stores altogether, 17 of our own stores, and 165 franchises, which contributes to prove the strengthening of our network, Rede Lopes, and a greater efficiency and aggressiveness in the growth process. As seen in the lower part of the slide, we see the consistency of our growth plans for stores, which accumulates 42% growth on an annual basis and 12% when compared to the last quarter. The third quarter of 2022 was the best quarter of the company ever in absolute figures, with the addition of 18 new stores. On the top part of the slide, we can see that the state of São Paulo accounted for 56% of transactions closed in our own operations in the quarter. South, 25%, as well as Fortaleza and Espírito Santo, have contributed with 19%.
In the franchises, the state of Rio de Janeiro kept its leadership in brokerage with brands Lopes and Patrimóvel, totaling 41% of transactions in the quarter. The market of São Paulo accounted for 39%, and the other regions, 20%. Now continuing on slide 12, we'll show the company's evolution in terms of Lopes Labs. On the chart, you can see the number of visits to the portal and blogs of Lopes that grew 5% when compared to the third quarter of 2021, with 2.2 million visitors. On the other hand, it's important to notice that on the chart below, there was a drop of 7% in the conversion of such visitors into leads when compared to the same period of 2021, reaching a level of 1.53%. We had an impact of the lower demand in the market.
As for the leads generated by Lopes portal, there was an increase of 5% in the volume originated when compared to the same period of last year, but a drop of 3% when compared to the last quarter disclosed. Finally, on the lower right side, we can see the consistent increase on the number of new units added at Lopes platform. Only in July, August, and September of this year, almost 31.5 new units were added for sale or rental in our platform, 23% higher than the third quarter of 2021. These were my remarks about the operational results of the company. Now I hand the floor over to Matheus Fabricio, who will talk about CrediPronto, and then he will present the financial results of the company. Thank you.
Thank you, Marcos. Good morning, everyone. Starting on slide 14 of CrediPronto, it's worth talking about the origination of BRL 1.049 billion of mortgage value, a drop of 38% when compared to the third quarter of 2021. 2,870 new contracts, a drop of 43% compared to 3Q 2021. Average LTV was stable at 66%, and the average rate 9.8%. The profit share of the company was BRL 9.4 million, and the bank component, which is the brokerage commission of new contracts, was BRL 11.2 million, totaling BRL 20.6 million. As we can see on the charts below, the drop of CrediPronto was slightly lower than private banks, according to ABECIP, which dropped 39% when compared to 38% at CrediPronto. As mentioned in the introduction by Marcos Lopes, our portfolio continues to grow 26% above when compared to the same period of last year, BRL 13.6 billion.
There was 12.4 new originated contracts for every terminated contract during the third quarter of 2022, which explains the growth in the portfolio. On the following slide, we have the mortgage origination from CrediPronto. The same trend of decrease continues since the fourth quarter of 2021 due to the higher interest rates and the lower demand in the real estate financing market. Now, in 3Q 2022, reaching BRL 4.46 million. On the next slide, we see the virtual P&L, and the highlight is the constant search for higher operational efficiency of the company in terms of costs and expenses. We can see a reduction in expenses with Itaú, allocated by Itaú Bank in the joint venture, as well as Olímpia expenses that are directly related to CrediPronto operation. Commissions paid, there was also a drop, which was led by the drop in origination. That's a 1% commission paid.
The profit sharing in the period was BRL 8.6 million, and profit recognized by Lopes was BRL 9.4 million due to the timing mismatch between the book entry period, the accounting period, and the calendar period. The profit share of September has remained at BRL 2.7 million, similar to August. Now continuing with the presentation, talking about the financial numbers, I would like to ask you to go to slide number 18, where we see the compilation of the gross revenue. Starting, we had transactions closed of BRL 1.24 million and the net revenue and net intermediation of BRL 2.14 million. Multiplying transactions by net commissions, we have the gross brokerage revenue of BRL 26.6 million. This revenue, we should add the revenues of other segments, such as royalty from franchises, revenues from CrediPronto, profit sharing, commission on new financings that are recognized in other revenues totaling BRL 27.4 million.
To total the gross revenue in the quarter of BRL 57.6 million, we have to add the amount for the deferred upfront revenue of CrediPronto that doesn't have a cash effect. On slide number 19, we see the net revenue and costs and expenses in the period. Net revenue was BRL 52.5 million in the third quarter, 11% lower when compared to the same period of last year, explained by the reductions in CrediPronto revenues, especially in the origination of new financing. The bar chart also shows the contribution of each segment for the net revenue. Brokerage accounted for 51% of the net revenues of the company, CrediPronto 36%, and franchises 13%. In absolute values, when compared to the same period of last year, the revenue in the brokerage segment was 5% higher, CrediPronto had a drop of 3%, and franchises strongly increased by 33%.
On the chart on the right, we see the operating expenses of the company before IFRS totaling BRL 36.8 million, with an important reduction of 13% when compared to the same period of last year. Moving on to slide 20, we see the comparison of EBITDA and net income of controlling in shareholders without IFRS. On the left, the company's EBITDA totaled BRL 15.7 million in the quarter, 4% lower than the same period of last year with a margin of 30%. On the right, we see the net income of controlling shareholders before IFRS totaling BRL 5.1 million with a net margin of 10%. On slide 21, we see the development of net income before IFRS last 12 months. Since 2018, which totaled LTM BRL 22.3 million in the vision of the third quarter.
On slide 22, we see the analysis of results by segment on a quarterly vision without the IFRS effect. Brokerage had a slight decrease of BRL 418 million before IFRS. Franchises, the net income before IFRS of BRL 3.4 million, with a margin of 50%, and CrediPronto BRL 6.5 million, with a margin of 35%. The consolidated net income reached BRL 9.5 million in the quarter, a margin of 18.1%, and BRL 5 million after minority shareholders payments and controlling interest payments with a margin of 9.7%. On slide 23, we see the impacts of IFRS in our results. The main impacts are related to depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, non-cash effects on call and put options of the companies controlled, and income tax deferred on intangible assets, calls and puts of LPS Brasil. The total impacts of this added to BRL 4.7 million.
Finally, on slide 24, we see the cash variation in the period and total cash of the company. On the chart, we see the resumption of cash generation from operational activities totaling BRL 11.8 million. The cash burn by activities investments was BRL 11 million, resulting from technology investments and financial applications, and the cash used in financing was BRL 3.9 million, mainly due to payment of dividends for not controlling shareholders. The available balance at the end of the period is BRL 27.9 million, remembering that the company also have BRL 10.3 million in treasury shares due to the two buyback programs last year. These were my remarks about the company's results. We thank you again for attending this call, and we can open for the Q&A session.
Ladies and gentlemen, we will now start the Q&A session. In order to ask a question, please use the Q&A platform as shown on the icons at the lower part of your screen. Please wait while we collect the questions. There is a question about the average fee of royalties of franchises expected for the next quarters because there has been a growth of 1.56 in this quarter.
I could expect a maintenance, but the growth of this in the last quarter is a result of the royalty itself, but other initiatives of a franchisor among commercial actions that involve franchisees that could add to capturing revenues. We will continue with that to try to increase the profitability of Lopes Soluções. There is a question about the size of the available units in our platform. That figure changes, but we are over 300,000 units. Quarter-on-quarter, the volume of new units added to the platform is growing, which shows the potential of the network. We will let you know about increases in the next quarters.
There is another question about the number of agents of the company. Why has this number remained stable when there was an increase in the number of stores or franchises?
It is important to understand that the new franchises have a period in order to implement the store from 90 to 120 days to create their team. Turnover of agents is considerable because they are independent workers, and that is also impacted by the demand for launches in the primary market. That figure varies usually, and it is not something that the company considers significant in terms of the reason why doesn't the number of agents grow when the number of stores grow. Oftentimes, the turnover in one month or two months in a large operation sometimes offset a growth of new franchises with five or 10 agents in each one.
This ends the Q&A session. I would like to turn the floor over to the CEO of the company, Mr. Marcos Lopes, for his final remarks.
Thank you all very much for attending the earnings release webinar of the third quarter of 2022. In this challenging scenario that we experience, we continue optimistic given the fact that we have a solid company in real estate credit and franchises. We are very well positioned and keep doing our homework to remain competitive and ready to serve any possibility of growth and an improvement in the macroeconomic scenario as a whole. Thank you very much and have a good day.
The webinar of the results of LPS Brasil has now ended. We thank you all for attending, and have a good afternoon.
