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 national mortgage brokerage franchise brand in the U.S., today announced operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

"The continued execution of our strategy, coupled with the U.S. housing market's remarkable run, drove our very encouraging results for the third quarter," stated Adam Contos, RE/MAX Holdings Chief Executive Officer. "RE/MAX agent count in both the U.S. and Canada increased sequentially on a month-to-month basis during the third quarter, particularly in Company-owned regions, after stabilizing at the end of the second quarter. Agent count outside the U.S. and Canada surpassed the 50,000 mark during the quarter, and has now doubled in just five years. Many of our RE/MAX agents and brokers are reporting their best years ever, and our Motto Mortgage business also continues to show impressive growth, as its franchise sales through the first nine months of 2020 nearly matched the full-year total for 2019."

Contos continued, "The strategic acquisitions of wemlo and Gadberry Group during the third quarter both tie directly into our strategy of adding value for the RE/MAX and Motto Mortgage networks while broadening and diversifying our revenue and growth opportunities. These acquisitions benefit our memberships, strengthen our technology and data core, and create promising commercial possibilities beyond our networks."

Revenue

RE/MAX Holdings generated total revenue of $71.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.7%, compared to $71.5 million in the third quarter of 2019. Total revenue decreased primarily due to previously announced agent recruiting initiatives that reduced both continuing franchise fees and Marketing Funds fees, largely offset by increased broker fees stemming from higher existing home sales, incremental revenue from acquisitions, and Motto growth. Recurring revenue streams, which consist of continuing franchise fees and annual dues, decreased $1.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2019 and accounted for 61.3% of revenue (excluding the Marketing Funds) in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 63.5% in the comparable period in 2019.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $60.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $12.2 million, or 25.3%, compared to $48.1 million in the third quarter of 2019. Third quarter total operating expenses increased primarily due to higher selling, operating and administrative expenses, a non-cash impairment charge and increased depreciation and amortization expenses, partially offset by lower Marketing Fund expenses. Excluding the Marketing Funds from operating expenses, third quarter 2020 operating expenses totaled $43.0 million, an increase of $12.9 million or 42.9% compared to $30.1 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $28.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $3.7 million, or 15.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2019 and, excluding the Marketing Funds, represented 52.5% of revenue, compared to 45.7% in the prior-year period. Selling, operating and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher equity-based compensation expense, increased personnel costs primarily from acquisitions, and higher legal fees, partially offset by cost-savings measures implemented in 2020, including a reduction in travel and events spend as well as the elimination of the 2020 Company bonus plan and the temporary suspension of the Company's 401(k) match.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $7.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to its plans to sublease certain floors of the Company's corporate headquarters at market rates below the Company's current lease rate.

Net Income and GAAP EPS

Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings was $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $5.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2019. Reported basic and diluted GAAP EPS were $0.20 and $0.19, respectively, for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $0.51 each in the third quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EBITDA was $30.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $2.2 million or 7.7% from the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to the Company's cost-savings measures and Motto expansion, partially offset by increased headcount primarily from the acquisitions of wemlo and Gadberry Group. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 42.7% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 39.4% in the third quarter of 2019.

Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were $0.65 and $0.64, respectively, for the third quarter of 2020 compared to adjusted diluted and basic EPS of $0.61 for the third quarter of 2019. The ownership structure used to calculate Adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 assumes RE/MAX Holdings owned 100% of RMCO, LLC ("RMCO"). The weighted average ownership RE/MAX Holdings had in RMCO was 59.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $89.1 million. The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $6.1 million from December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $224.1 million of outstanding debt, net of an unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, a decrease of $1.6 million compared to $225.7 million as of December 31, 2019.

Dividend

On November 4, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share of Class A common stock. The quarterly dividend is payable on December 2, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 18, 2020.

Outlook

The Company's fourth quarter and full-year 2020 Outlook assumes no further currency movements, acquisitions or divestitures.

For the fourth quarter of 2020, RE/MAX Holdings expects:

Agent count to increase 4.25% to 5.25% over fourth quarter 2019;
Revenue in a range of $69.0 million to $72.0 million (including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of $17.5 million to $18.5 million); and
Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $20.0 million to $23.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $88.5 million to $91.5 million.

The effective U.S. GAAP tax rate attributable to RE/MAX Holdings is estimated to be between 27% and 29% in 2020.

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 Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto, Adjusted net income, Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and free cash flow. These measures are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

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 condensed 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, impairment charge on leased assets, 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, and other non-recurring items.

Because Adjusted EBITDA and 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, impairment charge on leased assets, acquisition-related expense 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.

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 free cash flow is removed. The Company believes 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.

Free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions to RIHI is calculated as 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, 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 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.
