(Compared to third quarter 2023 unless otherwise noted)
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"), the first and only national mortgage brokerage franchise brand in the U.S., today announced operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"Our team is developing new revenue opportunities while working to run our core business better each day. That effort has contributed to our strong margin performance the past two quarters, which is an encouraging trend."

We are making measurable progress on each of these. With increasing optimism about the trajectory of future interest rates, our growing global agent count, and our bold new initiatives – including providing innovative and enhanced technology products to our RE/MAX affiliates, improving the agent-customer experience by cultivating leads, and starting to monetize our digital assets – we are well-positioned to finish the year with positive momentum."

Revenue
RE/MAX Holdings generated revenue of $78.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 3.4%, compared to $81.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was $58.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 3.3%, versus the same period in 2023. The decrease in Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was attributable to negative organic revenue growth of 3.0% and adverse foreign currency movements of 0.3%. Negative organic revenue growth was principally driven by a decrease in U.S. agent count and a reduction in revenue from previous acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in Broker fee revenue.
Recurring revenue streams, which consist of continuing franchise fees and annual dues, decreased $1.5 million, or 3.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2023 and accounted for 66.4% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 66.7% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds in the prior-year period.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $63.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $39.0 million, or 38.1%, compared to $102.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company agreed to pay $55.0 million to settle various industry class-action lawsuits, which was recorded in the third quarter of 2023. A $24.9 million gain on reduction in tax receivable agreement liability was also recorded in the third quarter of 2023.
Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $35.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 16.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2023 and represented 61.5% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, compared to 71.4% in the prior-year period. Third quarter 2024 selling, operating and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower personnel costs and a decrease in bad debt, legal, and other technology expenses.
Net Income (Loss) and GAAP EPS
Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings was $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to net loss of ($59.5) million for the third quarter of 2023. Reported basic and diluted GAAP earnings per share were $0.05 each for the third quarter of 2024 compared to basic and diluted GAAP loss per share of ($3.28) each in the third quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EBITDA was $27.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.5 million, or 2.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to a decrease in bad debt, legal, personnel, and other technology expenses, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. agent count. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 34.8% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 32.9% in the third quarter of 2023.
Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were $0.39 and $0.38, respectively, for the third quarter of 2024 compared to Adjusted basic and diluted EPS of $0.40 each for the third quarter of 2023. The ownership structure used to calculate Adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, assumes RE/MAX Holdings owned 100% of RMCO, LLC ("RMCO"). The weighted average ownership RE/MAX Holdings had in RMCO was 60.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $83.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million from December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $441.8 million of outstanding debt, net of an unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, compared to $444.6 million as of December 31, 2023.
Share Repurchases and Retirement
As previously disclosed, in January 2022 the Company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2024, $62.5 million remained available under the share repurchase program.
Impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton
Several of the Company's affiliates were impacted by the recent hurricanes. While the extent of the hurricanes' full impact on the Company's networks is not entirely known at this time, the Company currently estimates that its fourth quarter revenue will be lower than previously expected as financial support is provided to affected affiliates for a limited time. As a result, the Company's fourth quarter and full year revenue (below) was reduced by approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million, of which approximately 40% relates to the Marketing Funds, to reflect expected foregone revenue in the form of fee waivers provided to affiliates impacted by these storms.
Outlook
The Company's fourth quarter and full year 2024 Outlook includes the impact of the fee waivers to hurricane-impacted affiliates and assumes no further currency movements, acquisitions, or divestitures.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, RE/MAX Holdings expects:
For the full year 2024, the Company now expects:

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 revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto, Adjusted net income, Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and adjusted free cash flow. These measures are derived based on methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is calculated directly from our consolidated financial statements as Total revenue less Marketing Funds fees.
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 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, settlement and impairment charges, 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, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
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:
The Company's Adjusted EBITDA guidance does not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments to EBITDA in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior quarters, such as gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, gains or losses from changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income related to changes in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Company's Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs.
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, non-cash impairment charges, acquisition-related expense, restructuring charges 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:
Adjusted 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 adjusted free cash flow is removed. The Company believes adjusted 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.
Adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions to RIHI is calculated as adjusted 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, adjusted 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 adjusted 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.
