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"), an innovative mortgage brokerage franchise, today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. 

"The U.S. housing market began an encouraging rebound in June after COVID-19 interrupted 2020's promising start," stated Adam Contos, RE/MAX Holdings Chief Executive Officer. "We're well positioned to help our affiliates build on this positive momentum given the financial and structural strength of our business model, which to date has enabled us to keep staff intact and continue to expand our value proposition. In the field, our RE/MAX and Motto professionals have adapted to the current environment exceptionally well, leveraging technology and adhering to social distancing guidelines, to expertly guide consumers in a safe and largely virtual way."

Contos continued, "Our RE/MAX and Motto networks are finding opportunities to grow and build their businesses in this very demanding time. Motto posted its best second quarter of franchise sales yet, and its franchise sales on a trailing-twelve-month basis are the highest in its four-year history. On the RE/MAX side, global agent count continued to rise, while agent count in the U.S. and Canada stabilized in June and July. Our franchisees in both brands continue to demonstrate their local leadership by bringing productive agents and loan originators into our networks – and then helping those individuals get even better at what they do. Their recruiting efforts – supported by our programs and services – are critical to our ability to succeed in every kind of environment."

Revenue

RE/MAX Holdings generated total revenue of $52.2 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $19.2 million or 26.9% compared to $71.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. Total revenue decreased primarily due to temporary COVID-19-related financial-support initiatives the Company introduced in April that reduced both continuing franchise fees and Marketing Funds fees, as well as reduced broker fees stemming from lower existing home sales. The COVID-19-related financial-support initiatives were limited to two months of relief in the second quarter. Recurring revenue streams, which consist of continuing franchise fees and annual dues, decreased $8.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2019 and accounted for 63.0% of revenue (excluding the Marketing Funds) in the second quarter of 2020, compared to 63.2% in the comparable period in 2019.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $43.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 11.7%, compared to $49.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. Second quarter total operating expenses decreased primarily due to lower Marketing Fund expenses, partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization expenses. Marketing Fund expenses decreased primarily due to temporary COVID-19-related financial-support initiatives the Company introduced in April that reduced Marketing Funds fees. Excluding the Marketing Funds from operating expenses, second quarter 2020 operating expenses totaled $31.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 1.6% compared to $31.3 million in the second quarter of 2019.

Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $0.4 million or 1.4% compared to the second quarter of 2019 and, excluding the Marketing Funds, represented 62.7% of revenue, compared to 48.2% in the prior-year period. Selling, operating and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to cost-savings measures implemented in 2020 – including the elimination of the 2020 Company bonus and the temporary suspension of the Company's 401(k) match, as well as a reduction in travel and events spend –partially offset by increased legal fees and higher equity-based compensation expense.

Net Income and GAAP EPS

Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $5.1 million over the second quarter of 2019. Reported basic and diluted GAAP EPS were each $0.19 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $0.48 in the second quarter of 2019.  

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EBITDA was $18.9 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $11.0 million or 36.7% from the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to lower revenue from temporary COVID-19-related financial-support initiatives as well as increased legal fees partially offset by the Company's cost-savings measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.2% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 41.9% in the second quarter of 2019.

Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were each $0.38 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $0.65 per share each for the second quarter of 2019. The ownership structure used to calculate Adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 assumes RE/MAX Holdings owned 100% of RMCO, LLC ("RMCO"). The weighted average ownership RE/MAX Holdings had in RMCO was 59.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $84.5 million. The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $1.5 million from December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $224.6 million of outstanding debt, net of an unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, a decrease of $1.1 million compared to $225.7 million as of December 31, 2019.

24% is the combined federal and state statutory rate and is an estimate of our long-term tax rate assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-controlling interests for Class A common stock. It excludes the impacts of (a) our partnership structure, (b) unusual, non-recurring tax matters, such as the conversion of First to an LLC, and (c) lower income for 2020 due to the pandemic, which is causing distorted impacts to differences between tax and GAAP accounting, and causing certain foreign taxes to be nondeductible in 2020 when they otherwise have been and we expect will be again in the future.

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, 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.

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, 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.
