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 national mortgage brokerage
franchise brand in the U.S., today announced operating results for
the first quarter ended March 31,
2021.
"A robust housing market and record Motto growth helped drive
strong financial results for the first quarter," stated
Adam Contos, RE/MAX Holdings Chief
Executive Officer. "During this period, we also saw our largest
year-over-year increase in agent count in over a decade, adding
more than 8,000 new agents, led by healthy agent growth in
Canada and double-digit agent
growth globally. Motto continued its record pace of franchise
sales, selling the most franchises in its history for the trailing
twelve month period ended March 31,
2021. We now have over 150 open Motto offices in almost 40
states. We are encouraged that many of the strong tailwinds we saw
in the first quarter continued in April."
Contos continued, "We continue to increase and enhance our value
proposition for both of our franchise networks. At our recent
RE/MAX agent conference, we introduced an opportunity for virtually
all U.S. RE/MAX affiliates to access health benefits as well as new
tools, technology, and educational resources for the exclusive
benefit of our agents, teams and brokers. Within our mortgage
business we continue to ramp up our wemlo acquisition, offering
affordable, dependable loan processing services to more of our
Motto franchises each week."

Revenue
RE/MAX Holdings generated total revenue of $72.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, an
increase of $2.0 million, or 2.9%,
compared to $70.3 million in the
first quarter of 2020. Total revenue grew primarily due to
increased broker fees stemming from higher total transactions per
agent and rising home prices, incremental revenue from
acquisitions, Motto growth, and lower agent recruiting initiatives.
Revenue growth was partially offset by lower events-related revenue
due to COVID-19 restrictions and continued attrition of booj's
legacy customer base. Recurring revenue streams, which consist of
continuing franchise fees and annual dues, increased $1.0 million, or 3.0%, compared to the first
quarter of 2020 and accounted for 62.9% of revenue (excluding the
Marketing Funds) in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 62.7% in
the comparable period in 2020.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $68.8
million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of
$10.2 million, or 17.5%, compared to
$58.5 million in the first quarter of
2020. First quarter total operating expenses increased primarily
due to higher selling, operating and administrative expenses.
Excluding the Marketing Funds, first quarter 2021 operating
expenses totaled $50.6 million, an
increase of $9.6 million or 23.5%
compared to $41.0 million in the
first quarter of 2020.
Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $43.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, an
increase of $9.0 million, or 26.0%,
compared to the first quarter of 2020 and, excluding the Marketing
Funds, represented 80.7% of revenue, compared to 65.7% in the
prior-year period. Selling, operating and administrative expenses
increased primarily due to higher equity-based compensation expense
related to acquisitions, including $5.5
million from the acceleration of the expense of certain
awards; higher bonus expense due to the elimination of the
corporate bonus in 2020; and increased personnel costs largely from
acquisitions. First quarter 2021 selling, operating and
administrative expenses were partially offset by a reduction in
travel and events expenses and lower bad debt expense due to strong
collections.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due
to placing internally developed software into service and
incremental acquisition-related amortization expense.
Net Income and GAAP EPS
Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings was $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, a
decrease of $1.5 million compared to
the first quarter of 2020. Reported basic and diluted GAAP EPS were
each $0.06 for the first quarter of
2021 compared to $0.15 each in the
first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EBITDA was $23.2 million
for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $3.6 million or 18.5% from the first quarter of
2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to higher broker fee
revenue as well as reduced bad expense from improved collections,
partially offset by higher bonus expense due to the elimination of
the corporate bonus in the prior year, and higher legal fees.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 32.0% in the first quarter of 2021, up
compared to 27.8% in the first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were $0.47 and $0.46,
respectively, for the first quarter of 2021 compared to Adjusted
basic and diluted EPS of $0.39 for
the first quarter of 2020. The ownership structure used to
calculate Adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the quarter ended
March 31, 2021 assumes RE/MAX
Holdings owned 100% of RMCO, LLC ("RMCO"). The weighted average
ownership RE/MAX Holdings had in RMCO was 59.6% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2021.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2021, the Company
had cash and cash equivalents of $102.6
million, an increase of $1.3
million from December 31,
2020. As of March 31, 2021,
the Company had $223.0 million of
outstanding debt, net of an unamortized debt discount and issuance
costs, a decrease of $0.6 million
compared to $223.6 million as of
December 31, 2020.
Dividend
On May 5, 2021, the Company's
Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.23 per share of Class A common
stock. The quarterly dividend is payable on June 2, 2021, to shareholders of record at the
close of business on May 19,
2021.
Outlook
The Company's second quarter and full-year 2021 Outlook assumes
no further currency movements, acquisitions or divestitures.
For the second quarter of 2021, RE/MAX Holdings expects:
- Agent count to increase 7.0% to 8.0% over second quarter
2020;
- Revenue in a range of $74.0
million to $78.0 million
(including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of
$17.5 million to $18.5 million); and
- Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $25.5
million to $28.5 million.
For the full-year 2021, RE/MAX Holdings is increasing its agent
count guidance and expects:
- Agent count to increase 5.0% to 6.0% over full-year 2020, up
from 4.0% to 5.0%;
- Revenue in a range of $300.0
million to $310.0 million
(including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of
$71.0 million to $74.0 million), and
- Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $103.0
million to $107.0
million.
The effective U.S. GAAP tax rate attributable to RE/MAX Holdings
is estimated to be between 22% and 24% in 2021.

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 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, non-cash 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, 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.
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 on
sale or disposition of assets and sublease and acquisition-related
expense, among others. 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 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.
