Insights

Financial Analyst

Marcus & Millichap's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While total revenue decreased 2.8% year-over-year to $158.4 million, there are signs of improvement. The 27% sequential increase in brokerage transaction volume from Q1 is encouraging, indicating potential market stabilization.

The company's net loss narrowed to $5.5 million ($0.14 per share) from $8.7 million ($0.23 per share) last year. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $1.4 million, compared to $(1.1) million in Q2 2023. This suggests improving operational efficiency despite challenging market conditions.

However, the decline in Private Client Market revenue by 11.9% is concerning, as this segment is important for MMI. The increase in Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market revenue partially offsets this, but overall brokerage commissions still decreased.

Real Estate Market Analyst

The real estate market remains challenging, with MMI's results reflecting broader industry trends. The 4.9% decrease in total sales volume underscores ongoing market disruption due to high interest rates and constrained lending. However, the slight increase in average commission rates suggests MMI is maintaining pricing power.

Positive signs include the pull-back in 10-year treasury yields and expectations of an upcoming interest rate easing cycle. This could stimulate transaction activity in the coming quarters. The company's focus on opportunistic capital re-entering the market and internal initiatives to boost business are strategic moves to capitalize on potential market improvements.

The decrease in investment sales and financing professionals (1,726 vs. 1,865 last year) may impact future growth but could also reflect efforts to optimize the workforce in a challenging environment. Investors should monitor how this affects market share and revenue generation capacity.

Corporate Strategy Expert

MMI's strategy appears focused on weathering the current market downturn while positioning for future growth. The company's strong capital position and continued investment in proprietary technology and strategic initiatives demonstrate a long-term perspective. This approach could enhance MMI's competitive position as market conditions improve.

The decision to maintain the semi-annual dividend of $0.25 per share signals confidence in the company's financial stability. Additionally, the ongoing share repurchase program (with $71.0 million still available) provides flexibility in capital allocation and potential support for the stock price.

Management's outlook acknowledges ongoing challenges but highlights potential catalysts such as price adjustments, distressed situations and maturing loans. The company's focus on the fragmented Private Client Market, which accounts for over 80% of U.S. commercial property transactions, presents a significant long-term growth opportunity through market consolidation.

“We are encouraged by the progress in the second quarter, with sequential improvement in our results compared to the first quarter.

The pull-back in the 10-year treasury yield and conviction of the upcoming interest rate easing cycle is also encouraging,” stated Hessam Nadji, Marcus & Millichap’s president and chief executive officer.

Mr. Nadji continued, “The market still faces uncertainty related to the prospects of a soft landing and the Fed’s balancing act. However, we believe lower interest rates and pent-up buyer demand with record capital still on the sideline bode well for healthier sales and financing volumes ahead. Our strong capital position and unwavering commitment to innovation, productivity and talent acquisition and retention continue to guide us. Our focus on investing in proprietary technology and strategic initiatives ensures that Marcus & Millichap remains on the offense as we emerge from this cycle.”

Second Quarter 2024 Results Compared to Second Quarter 2023

Total revenue for the second quarter 2024 was $158.4 million, a decrease of 2.8% compared to $162.9 million for the same period in the prior year.

For real estate brokerage commissions, revenue was $135.4 million, a decrease of 3.5% compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily attributed to a 4.9% decrease in total sales volume, reflecting the ongoing market disruption driven by high interest rates and constrained lending. The decrease was partially offset by a three basis point increase in the average commission rate earned compared to the second quarter 2023. Private Client Market revenue decreased by 11.9%, while the combined Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market revenue increased by 14.8%.

For financing fees, revenue was $18.3 million, an increase of 2.2% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to an 11.0% increase in total financing volume, partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in the average fee rate compared to second quarter of 2023.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter 2024 were $166.4 million, compared to $173.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to reductions of 3.0% in cost of services and 5.7% in selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 20 basis points to 61.9% compared to the same period during the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2024 were $65.0 million, compared to $68.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to a reduction in marketing support and corporate bonus attributable to the lower revenue.

Net loss for the second quarter 2024 was $5.5 million, or $0.14 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $8.7 million, or $0.23 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2024 was $1.4 million, compared to $(1.1) million for the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the decrease in operating loss.

Six Months 2024 Results Compared to Six Months 2023

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $287.5 million, compared to $317.7 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $30.2 million, or 9.5%. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 8.4% to $315.6 million compared to $344.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues decreased to 60.9%, down 100 basis points compared to the first six months of 2023. The Company’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $15.5 million, or $0.40 per common share, diluted, compared to $14.6 million, or $0.37 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $(8.6) million, from $(8.5) million for the same period in the prior year. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 1,726 investment sales and financing professionals, compared to 1,865 at the end of the same period last year.

Capital Allocation

On August 1, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual regular dividend of $0.25 per share, or approximately $10.2 million, with a payment date of October 4, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 16, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 16,900 shares of common stock at an average price of $32.77 per share for a total price of $0.6 million. Since August 2022, the Company has repurchased and retired 2,141,422 shares of common stock at an average price of $32.24 per share for a total price of $69.0 million.

After accounting for shares repurchased through August 2, 2024, Marcus & Millichap has approximately $71.0 million available to repurchase shares under its program. No time limit has been established for the completion of the program, and the repurchases are expected to be executed from time-to-time, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans.

Business Outlook

The market is still working through the ongoing price discovery, wider than normal bid/ask spreads, and a prolonged downturn in transaction volume due to the Federal Reserve’s decision to delay interest rate reductions. While these conditions are likely to persist through much of 2024, price adjustments, distressed situations and maturing loans could drive additional transactions in the quarters ahead. Over the long term, real estate demand is expected to return sales and financing volumes to higher than current levels given the record capital on the sideline and key advantages of real estate investments. Accordingly, the Company believes it remains well-positioned to achieve long-term growth.

The Company benefits from its experienced management team, infrastructure investments, industry-leading market research and proprietary technology. The size and fragmentation of the Private Client Market continues to offer long-term growth opportunities through consolidation. This highly fragmented market segment consistently accounts for over 80% of all U.S. commercial property transactions and over 60% of the commission pool. The top 10 brokerage firms led by MMI had an estimated 22% share of this segment by transaction count in 2023.

Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during 2024 include:

• Volatility in transactional activity and investor sentiment driven by:
  • The elevated cost of debt capital
  • Interest rate uncertainty and the heightened bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers
  • Risks of a potential recession and its unfavorable impact to commercial real estate space demand
  • Possible impact to market sentiment related to the presidential election, potential tax and other policy changes which may influence transaction velocity and/or future fluctuations in sales and financing activity
  • Increase in operating expenses driven by labor costs, insurance, taxes and cost of materials
• Volatility in each of the Company’s markets
• Increase in costs related to in-person events, client meetings, and conferences
• Global geopolitical uncertainty, which may cause investors to refrain from transacting
• The potential for acquisition activity and subsequent integration

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net loss before (i) interest income and other, including net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, (ii) interest expense, (iii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, and (v) stock-based compensation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in its business operations to evaluate the performance of its business, develop budgets and measure its performance against those budgets, among other things. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate its overall operating performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a supplemental metric and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company finds Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful management metric to assist in evaluating performance, because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items related to capital structure, taxes and non-cash items. Considering the foregoing limitations, the Company does not rely solely on Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and also considers its U.S. GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, operating income or any other measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net loss, to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in thousands):
