Business Outlook
Notwithstanding the potential ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company believes it is well positioned to achieve long-term growth. However, short-term macroeconomic forces have become increasingly fluid, particularly inflationary pressure and interest rate movements, and these have the potential to influence economic growth and investor sentiment.
The Company benefits from its experienced management team, recent infrastructure investments, industry-leading market research and proprietary technology. The size and fragmentation of the Private Client Market segment continues to offer long-term growth opportunities through consolidation. This highly fragmented market segment consistently accounts for
Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during the rest of 2022 include:
-
Volatility in sales and financing activity and investor sentiment driven by:
- Slowdown in sales and financing activity of asset types impacted by COVID-19, elevated inflation, interest rate fluctuations, an increasing bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers, and economic trends including a potential recession
- Possible impact to investor sentiment related to the outcome of the midterm elections and any potential policy or tax law changes that may contribute to future fluctuations in sales and financing activity
- Potential higher cost of services resulting from more experienced investment sales and financing professionals closing a larger share of revenue and surpassing revenue thresholds earlier in the year
- Volatility in each of the Company’s market segments
- High variability in the Larger Transaction Market segment from quarter to quarter, particularly due to changes in the macro economy and capital market conditions
- Increase in costs related to inflation and the return of in-person events, client meetings, and conferences
- The impact of a potential rapid increase in interest rates that could affect acquisition, financing and refinance activity
- Global geopolitical uncertainty, which may disrupt financial markets or cause investors to refrain from transacting

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net income before (i) interest income and other, including net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents, (ii) interest expense, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) stock-based compensation, and (vi) non-cash mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) activity. 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
