“MMI’s third-quarter results reflect the prolonged market dislocation caused by the severe interest rate shock and financing constraints,” said Hessam Nadji, president and chief executive officer. “The widened bid/ask spread and high degree of uncertainty is limiting trading activity despite record capital on the sideline. Our strategy to focus on client service, support our team through MMI’s signature training, best practices sharing and culture of collaboration remains steadfast. Powered by our strong balance sheet and leading brand, we are leveraging the current period to attract leading professionals, pursue strategic investments and acquisitions and enhance our technology and brokerage tools.”

Mr. Nadji continued, “Looking ahead, we are positioning MMI to lead in the recovery, which may be delayed due to the Fed’s “higher for longer” stance on interest rates. Values are adjusting to higher interest rates and the Fed is nearing the end of its tightening cycle, two key factors in the transaction volume recovery. Complementary services such as our loan sales and auction divisions we have added in recent years are well-aligned to help lenders and investors execute in the current market. Despite the near-term challenges, our focus remains on fostering client relationships and building for the long term.”

Third Quarter 2023 Results Compared to Third Quarter 2022

Total revenue for the third quarter 2023 was $162.0 million, a decrease of 50.0% compared to $323.8 million for the third quarter 2022.

For real estate brokerage commissions, the average transaction size and the average commission per transaction decreased by 31.6% and 21.2%, respectively, compared to the third quarter 2022. The number of transactions decreased by 39.4%, reducing real estate brokerage commissions to $139.8 million, a 52.3% reduction from the same period in the prior year. Compared to the third quarter 2022, Private Client Market revenue decreased by 44.7%, and the combined Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market revenue decreased by 64.3%.

For financing fees, the average fee per transaction and the average transaction size increased by 11.9% and 8.7% respectively, while the number of transactions decreased by 46.7%, resulting in a decrease in financing fees to $17.3 million, a 38.6% reduction from the same period in the prior year.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter 2023 were $177.5 million, compared to $293.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to reductions of 51.9% in cost of services and 5.2% in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a 24.4% increase in depreciation and amortization expenses. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 250 basis points to 64.6% compared to the same period during the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2023 were $69.2 million, compared to $73.0 million, for the same period in 2022. The change was primarily due to a reduction in compensation-related costs, specifically performance-based bonuses for the third quarter 2023, partially offset by an increased investment in business development, marketing and other support related to the long-term talent acquisition and retention of sales and financing professionals.

Net loss for the third quarter 2023 was $9.2 million, or $0.24 per common share, diluted, compared to a net income of $21.4 million, or $0.53 per common share, diluted, for the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2023 was $(6.6) million, compared to $36.6 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the decrease in operating income.

Nine Months 2023 Results Compared to Nine Months 2022

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $479.7 million, compared to $1.0 billion for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $559.6 million, or 53.8%. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased by 42.5% to $521.9 million compared to $907.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues decreased to 62.8%, down 170 basis points compared to the nine months of 2022. The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $23.8 million, or $0.61 per common share, diluted, compared to a net income of $96.3 million, or $2.39 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased to $(15.1) million, from $151.4 million for the same period in the prior year. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 1,820 investment sales and financing professionals, compared to 1,880 at the end of the same period last year.

Capital Allocation

On August 1, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual regular dividend of $0.25 per share, with a payment date of October 6, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 1,098,561 shares of common stock at an average price of $31.28 per share for a total price of $34.4 million.

After accounting for shares repurchased through October 31, 2023, Marcus & Millichap has approximately $71.5 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 economy and commercial real estate transaction market are expected to remain choppy through the remainder of 2023 as political and geopolitical instability together with higher interest rates and lender caution lengthen the price discovery process and the buyer/seller expectation gap remains wide. However, 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 commercial property sales transactions and over 60% of the commission pool. The top 10 brokerage firms led by MMI have an estimated 20% share of this segment by transaction count.

Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during the remainder of 2023 include:

  • Volatility in market sales and investor sentiment driven by:
    • The elevated cost and availability of debt capital
    • Higher interest rate fluctuations and the heightened bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers
    • Risks of potential recession and the resulting reduction of CRE space demand that results from uncertainty
    • Possible impact to investor sentiment related to potential tax and other policy changes which may contribute to transaction acceleration and/or future fluctuations in sales and financing activity
    • Rising operating costs driven by wages, insurance, taxes and construction materials
  • Volatility in each of the Company’s real estate 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

OTHER INFORMATION

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net (loss) income 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) (benefit) provision 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 income, 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 income, to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in thousands):
