“MMI continued to generate healthy earnings and cash flow in the third quarter, further strengthening the company’s financial position. However, revenue and earnings growth were impacted by the most aggressive monetary policy tightening since 1980, resulting in fewer transactions,” said
“The short-term outlook remains challenging given additional rate increases, including the Federal Reserve’s sixth move announced this week, and heightened recession risk,” Nadji continued. “At the same time, healthy real estate fundamentals, expectations of a moderate recession in light of a strong labor market, and consumer strength bode well for commercial real estate beyond a period of recalibration and repricing. We believe the lag effect of interest rate increases will materialize over the next several months, reducing the pressure on the

Business Outlook
The Company believes it is well positioned to achieve long-term growth. However, short-term macroeconomic forces have become increasingly challenging, particularly ongoing inflationary pressures, recent interest rate increases and the potential for further interest rate increases in 2022 and 2023. All of these forces have the potential to adversely 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 elevated inflation, interest rate increases, tightened lender underwriting, 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
- Reduced institutional activity in the Larger Transaction Market segment 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 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
- Global economic and financial market uncertainty driven by energy shortages, currency valuations and the durability of financial institutions

OTHER INFORMATION
(Unaudited)
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
