Hessam Nadji, President and CEO stated, “Marcus & Millichap concluded 2018 with strong growth across all market segments, achieving record revenue, earnings and expanded market coverage. Our client outreach initiatives and investments in brokerage support and proprietary tools positively impacted these results. Our brokerage sales volume increased 18.4% for the year in contrast with the broader market sales increase of an estimated 6-8% pointing to market share gains.” Mr. Nadji added, “We believe the unexpected interest rate trend reversal in the fourth quarter improved investor sentiment and contributed to our ability to bring more buyers and sellers together for a strong finish.”

Mr. Nadji continued, “2018 was also a pivotal year as we completed four strategic acquisitions with anticipation of further capital deployment in accretive, high quality businesses to support our growth plan. We are encouraged by the sustained strength of real estate fundamentals, apparent pause in interest rate hikes by the Fed and real estate-related benefits of the recent tax law changes, all of which bode well for the outlook. Our strong balance sheet, industry-leading brand and various growth opportunities provide us with key competitive advantages to create shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter 2018 Results Compared to Fourth Quarter 2017

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $230.3 million, compared to $202.8 million for the same period in the prior year, increasing by $27.5 million, or 13.6%. The improvement in total revenues was primarily driven by the increase in real estate brokerage commissions and, to a lesser extent, growth in financing fees. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other revenues. Real estate brokerage commissions increased by 19.1% to $211.2 million primarily due to a rise in overall sales volume generated by the increase in the number of investment sales transactions and average transaction size. Average commission rates increased primarily due to a higher average commission rate in the Larger Transaction market segment. Financing fees increased by 6.8% to $16.6 million. Other revenues decreased by 74.9% to $2.5 million primarily due to a large consulting and advisory services fee incurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 with no comparable fee during the same period in 2018.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased by 12.8% to $197.8 million, compared to $175.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of services increased by 12.7% to $148.5 million. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues decreased by 50 basis points to 64.5% compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to a decrease in the proportion of transactions closed by our more senior investment sales professionals, who are generally compensated at higher commission rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased by 12.5% to $47.6 million, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increased costs associated with (i) compensation related costs, including salaries and related benefits; (ii) expansion of existing offices; (iii) sales and promotional marketing expenses; (iv) professional fees; and (v) stock-based compensation expense.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $26.2 million, or $0.67 per common share, basic and $0.66 per common share, diluted, compared to net income of $8.5 million, or $0.22 per common share (basic and diluted), for the same period in the prior year. Tax adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2017, which adjusts for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) was $22.5 million, or $0.58 per common share, basic and $0.57 per common share, diluted. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $36.1 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $32.1 million for the same period in the prior year.

Full Year 2018 Results Compared to Full Year 2017

Total revenues for 2018 were $814.8 million, compared to $719.7 million for 2017, increasing by 13.2%. Total operating expenses for 2018 were up 12.7% to $702.5 million compared to $623.6 million for 2017. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues decreased by 30 basis points to 61.7% compared to the same period in the prior year. Net income for 2018 was $87.3 million, or $2.23 per common share, basic and $2.22 per common share, diluted compared with net income of $51.5 million, or $1.32 (basic and diluted) per common share for 2017. Tax adjusted net income for 2017, which adjusts for the impact of the Act was $73.9 million, or $1.89 (basic and diluted). Adjusted EBITDA for 2018 increased by 15.9% to $129.5 million, from $111.7 million for 2017. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,977 investment sales and financing professionals.

Business Outlook

We believe that the Company is positioned to achieve long-term growth by leveraging a number of factors. These include our leading national brand and market position within the Private Client Market segment, growth opportunities in the Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market segments, significant growth potential in our financing division, Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation, and supplementing our organic growth with additional strategic acquisitions. 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 segment continues to offer long-term growth opportunities. This market segment consistently accounts for over 80% of commercial property sales transactions and over 60% of the commission pool and is highly fragmented. Top brokerage firms led by MMI have an estimated 25% share of this segment by transaction count. The Company’s growth plan also includes further expansion into office, industrial and various specialty property types such as hospitality, self-storage and seniors housing.

Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during 2019 include:

•

Volatility in market sales and investor sentiment driven by:

Slowdown in market sales in the short- to mid-term in view of a maturing cycle, interest rate fluctuations, increasing bid-ask spread gap between buyers and sellers and economic trends

Possible boost to investor sentiment and sales activity based on economic initiatives and tax legislation impact which may increase real estate investor demand

•

Experienced agents’ larger share of revenue production in a more challenging market environment, resulting in a higher average commission payout

•

Volatility in the Company’s Middle and Larger Transaction Market segments

•

Global geopolitical uncertainty which may cause investors to refrain from transacting

•

The potential for feasible acquisition activity and subsequent integration

•

Challenging year-over-year comparables

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 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 an analytical tool 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 as a useful tool to assist in evaluating performance because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items related to capital structure and taxes and non-cash items. In light of 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 derived 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):

⁽³⁾	Non-cash MSRs activity includes the assumption of servicing obligations following the completion of our business acquisition in 2018.

⁽⁴⁾	The increase in Adjusted EBITDA in 2018 compared to 2017 is primarily due to higher total revenues.

Tax Adjusted Net Income Reconciliation

Due to the enactment of the Act, the U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% starting in 2018. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the Company calculated tax adjusted net income using the effective income tax rate for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 of 21.520% and 25.561%, respectively. The adjustment was made to illustrate what the growth rate would have been had the effective income tax rate been the same in both periods. A reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income, to tax adjusted net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 is as follows (dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):
