RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "RE/MAX
Holdings") (NYSE: RMAX), parent company of RE/MAX, one of the
world's leading franchisors of real estate brokerage services, and
Motto Mortgage ("Motto"), the first-and-only national mortgage
brokerage franchise brand in the U.S., today announced operating
results for the quarter ended September
30, 2022.
"Our third-quarter results showed solid performance, driven by
our 2021 RE/MAX INTEGRA acquisition and growing mortgage business,
which helped offset the impact from increasingly difficult housing
market conditions," said Steve
Joyce, RE/MAX Holdings Chief Executive Officer. "We expect
our strategic growth initiatives to provide similar benefits in the
coming quarters. While not immune to the impact of shifting housing
conditions, we believe our 50-year track record amply shows we are
insulated far better and are more resilient than most. Simply put,
our business is built to last."
Joyce continued: "From 2010 to 2021, U.S. housing experienced
markets at both ends of the spectrum: from tumbling prices
and record-high inventory in the aftermath of the 2008
housing crash, to soaring prices as inventory plummeted in the
following years. During this time period, the number of U.S. home
sales went up and down as did the average transaction sides per
agent. But RE/MAX agents consistently outproduced the competition
at large brokerages more than 2 to 1, according to the REALTrends
500 survey citing transaction sides at the largest participating
U.S. brokerages.
"We believe our global scale, well-known brands, financial
strength, principally recurring revenue model, increasingly
diversified business, and 100%-franchise model, position us better
than at any point in our history as we enter the next phase of the
housing cycle."

Revenue
RE/MAX Holdings generated revenue of $88.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, a
decrease of $2.1 million, or 2.3%,
compared to $91.0 million in the
third quarter of 2021. Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was
$66.2 million in the third quarter of
2022, a decrease of $1.5 million, or
2.2%, versus the same period in 2021. This decrease was
attributable to negative organic revenue growth of 4.9% and adverse
foreign-currency movements of 0.5%, partially offset by revenue
growth of 3.2% from acquisitions. Organic growth decreased
primarily due to lower broker fee revenue and an increase in
recruiting incentives, partially offset by Motto growth and
increased events-related revenue. Rising interest rates have
adversely impacted affordability and weakened housing demand
resulting in fewer transactions and, by extension, lower broker fee
revenue. Revenue growth from acquisitions was attributable to
revenue from the RE/MAX INTEGRA North American regions ("INTEGRA")
acquisition completed in July
2021.
Recurring revenue streams, which consist of continuing franchise
fees and annual dues, increased $0.8
million, or 1.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2021 and
accounted for 63.8% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds in the
third quarter of 2022 compared to 61.2% of Revenue excluding the
Marketing Funds in the prior-year period.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $83.7
million for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of
$44.9 million, or 34.9%, compared to
$128.6 million in the third quarter
of 2021. Third quarter 2022 total operating expenses decreased
primarily due to higher settlement and impairment charges incurred
in the prior year period. Third quarter 2021 settlement and
impairment charges were higher primarily due to the recognition of
a $40.5 million loss on the effective
settlement of the pre-existing master franchise contracts, which
had royalty rates below the current market rate, in conjunction
with the INTEGRA acquisition. The loss represents the difference
between previously contracted royalty rates and the current market
rate.
Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $49.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, a
decrease of $1.4 million, or 2.7%,
compared to the third quarter of 2021 and represented 75.1% of
Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, compared to 75.4% in the
prior-year period. Third quarter 2022 selling, operating and
administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower
acquisition-related expenses, lower personnel expenses excluding
restructuring charges, and reduced headcount, partially offset by
restructuring charges, increased travel and events expenses, and
higher legal expenses.
Net Income and GAAP EPS
Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings was $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2022
compared to net loss of $25.1 million
for the third quarter of 2021. Reported basic and diluted GAAP
income per share were each $0.01 for
the third quarter of 2022 compared to basic and diluted GAAP loss
per share of $1.34 each in the third
quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EBITDA was $31.5 million
for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 9.5%, compared to the third
quarter of 2021. Third quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA decreased
primarily due to lower revenue resulting from lower broker fee
revenue and increased legal and bad debt expenses, partially offset
by lower personnel expenses excluding restructuring charges and
contributions from the INTEGRA acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA margin
was 35.4% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 38.2% in the
third quarter of 2021.
Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were each $0.56 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to
Adjusted basic and diluted EPS of $0.71 each for the third quarter of 2021. The
ownership structure used to calculate Adjusted basic and diluted
EPS for the quarter ended September 30,
2022 assumes RE/MAX Holdings owned 100% of RMCO, LLC
("RMCO"). The weighted average ownership RE/MAX Holdings had in
RMCO was 59.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2022, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $117.9 million, a decrease of $8.4 million from December
31, 2021. As of September 30,
2022, the Company had $449.3
million of outstanding debt, net of an unamortized debt
discount and issuance costs, compared to $452.1 million as of December 31, 2021.
Dividend
On November 2, 2022, the Company
announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.23 per share of Class
A common stock. The quarterly dividend is payable on
November 30, 2022, to shareholders of
record at the close of business on November
16, 2022.
Share Repurchases and Retirement
As previously disclosed, in January
2022 the Company's Board of Directors authorized a common
stock repurchase program of up to $100
million. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, 507,980 shares were
repurchased and retired for $11.9
million excluding commissions, at an average price of
$23.48 per share.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2022, 995,176 shares of the Company's Class A common
stock were repurchased and retired for $23.8
million excluding commissions, at an average price of
$23.91 per share. As of September 30, 2022, $76.2
million remained available under the share repurchase
program.
Outlook
The Company's fourth quarter and full-year 2022 Outlook assumes
no further currency movements, acquisitions or divestitures.
For the fourth quarter of 2022, RE/MAX Holdings expects:
- Agent count to increase 1.0% to 2.0% over fourth quarter
2021;
- Revenue in a range of $80.0
million to $85.0 million
(including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of
$21.5 million to $23.5 million); and

million to $27.0 million.
For the full-year 2022, the Company is reducing its guidance to

from 1.0% to 2.5%;
- Revenue in a range of $352.0
million to $357.0 million
(including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of
$90.0 million to $92.0 million), down from $354.0 million to $364.0
million (including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a
range of $90.0 million to
$93.0 million); and
- Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $118.0
million to $122.0 million,
down from $123.0 million to
$128.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with
the SEC and in public disclosures of financial measures that are
not in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as revenue excluding the
Marketing Funds, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto,
Adjusted net income, Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share
(Adjusted EPS) and adjusted free cash flow. These measures are
derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with
U.S. GAAP.
Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is calculated directly
from our consolidated financial statements as Total revenue less
Marketing Funds fees.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net
income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense,
interest income and the provision for income taxes, each of which
is presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements
included earlier in this press release), adjusted for the impact of
the following items that are either non-cash or that the Company
does not consider representative of its ongoing operating
performance: loss or gain on sale or disposition of assets and
sublease, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based
compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, gain on
reduction in tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income
related to changes in the estimated fair value measurement of
contingent consideration, restructuring charges and other
non-recurring items.
Because Adjusted EBITDA margin omit certain non-cash items and
other non-recurring cash charges or other items, the Company
believes that each measure is less susceptible to variances that
affect its operating performance resulting from depreciation,
amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or
other items. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA and the related
Adjusted EBITDA margin because the Company believes they are useful
as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of its
operating businesses and provides greater transparency into the
Company's results of operations. The Company's management uses
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as factors in evaluating
the performance of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as
analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in
isolation or as a substitute for analyzing the Company's results as
reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements
for, the Company's working capital needs;
- these measures do not reflect the Company's interest expense,
or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal
payments on its debt;
- these measures do not reflect the Company's income tax expense
or the cash requirements to pay its taxes;
- these measures do not reflect the cash requirements to pay
dividends to stockholders of the Company's Class A common stock and
tax and other cash distributions to its non-controlling
unitholders;
- these measures do not reflect the cash requirements pursuant to
the tax receivable agreements;
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require
replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any
cash requirements for such replacements;
- although equity-based compensation is a non-cash charge, the
issuance of equity-based awards may have a dilutive impact on
earnings per share; and
- other companies may calculate these measures differently so
similarly named measures may not be comparable.
The Company's Adjusted EBITDA guidance does not include certain
charges and costs. The adjustments to EBITDA in future periods are
generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs
excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior quarters, such as gain on
sale or disposition of assets and sublease and acquisition-related
expense, among others. The exclusion of these charges and costs in
future periods will have a significant impact on the Company's
Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is not able to provide a
reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial guidance to the
corresponding U.S. GAAP measures without unreasonable effort
because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount
of these future charges and costs.
Adjusted net income is calculated as Net income attributable to
RE/MAX Holdings, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding
non-controlling interests for shares of Class A common stock as of
the beginning of the period (and the related increase to the
provision for income taxes after such exchange), plus primarily
non-cash items and other items that management does not consider to
be useful in assessing the Company's operating performance (e.g.,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain on sale or
disposition of assets and sub-lease, non-cash impairment charges,
acquisition-related expense, restructuring charges and equity-based
compensation expense).
Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) are
calculated as Adjusted net income (as defined above) divided by pro
forma (assuming the full exchange of all outstanding
non-controlling interests) basic and diluted weighted average
shares, as applicable.
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted
net income and Adjusted EPS are supplemental measures of operating
performance that management believes are useful measures to
evaluate the Company's performance relative to the performance of
its competitors as well as performance period over period. By
assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-controlling
interests, management believes these measures:
- facilitate comparisons with other companies that do not have a
low effective tax rate driven by a non-controlling interest on a
pass-through entity;
- facilitate period over period comparisons because they
eliminate the effect of changes in Net income attributable to
RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. driven by increases in its ownership of RMCO,
LLC, which are unrelated to the Company's operating performance;
and
- eliminate primarily non-cash and other items that management
does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company's operating
performance.
Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from
operations less capital expenditures and any changes in restricted
cash of the Marketing Funds, all as reported under GAAP, and
quantifies how much cash a company has to pursue opportunities that
enhance shareholder value. The restricted cash of the Marketing
Funds is limited in use for the benefit of franchisees and any
impact to adjusted free cash flow is removed. The Company believes
adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors as a supplemental
measure as it calculates the cash flow available for working
capital needs, re-investment opportunities, potential Independent
Region and strategic acquisitions, dividend payments or other
strategic uses of cash.
Adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions
to RIHI is calculated as adjusted free cash flow less tax and other
non-dividend distributions paid to RIHI (the non-controlling
interest holder) to enable RIHI to satisfy its income tax
obligations. Similar payments would be made by the Company directly
to federal and state taxing authorities as a component of the
Company's consolidated provision for income taxes if a full
exchange of non-controlling interests occurred in the future. As a
result and given the significance of the Company's ongoing tax and
non-dividend distribution obligations to its non-controlling
interest, adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend
distributions, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial
measures, provides a meaningful view of cash flow available to the
Company to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value.
Unencumbered cash generated is calculated as adjusted free cash
flow after tax and non-dividend distributions to RIHI less
quarterly debt principal payments less annual excess cash flow
payment on debt, as applicable. Given the significance of the
Company's excess cash flow payment on debt, when applicable,
unencumbered cash generated, when used in conjunction with GAAP
financial measures, provides a meaningful view of the cash flow
available to the Company to pursue opportunities that enhance
shareholder value after considering its debt service
obligations.
