“This was our second consecutive milestone quarter by almost every measure. Our business is performing exceptionally well with all product lines registering solid growth throughout the year. As expected, our results are substantially higher than last year’s disrupted market. Even more relevant, compared to the same period in 2019, our year-to-date revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were up 40.9% and 50.3%, respectively. This is a direct reflection of our sales force’s ability to shift from helping clients solve problems and navigate the uncertainty of last year to maximizing opportunities amid this year’s market recovery. Our expanded client outreach, steady stream of technology enhancements and recent acquisitions all contributed to a record quarter,” commented Hessam Nadji, Marcus & Millichap’s President and CEO.

Mr. Nadji continued, “The operating environment remains compelling with still low interest rates, ample liquidity and increasing confidence in the recovery. We are further building on our recent strategic acquisitions and ongoing investments in the Company’s brokerage systems, training and development, all of which are supported by our strong balance sheet and leading market position. For example, our recent strategic alliance with M&T Realty Capital Corporation positions us to expand agency financing for our multi-family clients while improving tools and resources for our originators. We believe this will allow us to grow our Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac market share in the coming years. We continue to work every day to enhance our client services and create shareholder value by building upon a solid foundation to achieve growth and durability.”

Third Quarter 2021 Results Compared to Third Quarter 2020

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2021 reached $332.4 million, compared to $158.6 million for the same period during the prior year, increasing by 109.6%. The outperformance in total revenues was driven by increases in real estate brokerage commissions, financing fees and other revenues. Real estate brokerage commissions more than doubled to $299.8 million from the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in overall sales volume generated by the increase in the number of investment sales transactions. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in average commission rates due to a larger proportion of closed transactions from the Larger Transaction Market segment. Financing fees nearly doubled to $29.4 million.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 increased 88.6% to $286.7 million, compared to $152.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by a 119.8% increase in cost of services and a 30.1% increase in selling, general and administrative expense. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues increased by 300 basis points to 65.9% compared to the same period during the prior year, primarily due to our senior investment sales and financing professionals earning additional commissions by meeting certain annual financial thresholds and reaching their thresholds earlier than prior years.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2021 increased by $15.0 million to $64.7 million, compared to the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to increases in (i) compensation related costs, primarily driven by increases in management performance compensation due to a significant year-over-year growth in operating results; (ii) business development, marketing and other support related to the long-term retention of our sales and financing professionals; (iii) facilities expenses; and (iv) legal costs.

Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $33.9 million, or $0.84 per common share, diluted, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.15 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021 was $51.0 million, compared to $12.2 million for the same period in the prior year.

Nine Months 2021 Results Compared to Nine Months 2020

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, were $801.3 million, compared to $466.7 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $334.6 million, or 71.7%. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by 56.6% to $693.8 million compared to $443.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues increased to 63.3%, up 180 basis points compared to the first nine months of 2020. The Company reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $80.5 million, or $2.00 per common share, diluted, compared with net income of $19.2 million, or $0.48 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased more than threefold to $124.8 million, from $38.8 million for the same period in the prior year. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 1,982 investment sales and financing professionals, a net loss of 17 over the prior year.

Business Outlook

Notwithstanding the potential continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the current macroeconomic environment, the Company believes it is 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 segment 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 23% share of this segment by transaction count.

Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during the remainder of 2021 include:

 

   

Volatility in market sales and investor sentiment driven by:

 

   

Slowdown in market sales of asset types impacted by COVID-19, interest rate fluctuations, increasing bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers and economic trends

 

   

Changes to investor sentiment and sales activity based on favorable interest rates and economic initiatives which may increase real estate investor demand, for the remainder of 2021

 

   

Possible impact to investor sentiment related to potential tax law changes which maybe contribute to transaction acceleration and/or future fluctuations in sales and financing activity

 

   

Potential higher cost of services resulting from more experienced investment sales and financing professionals closing a larger share of revenue and surpassing revenue thresholds earlier in the year

OTHER INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

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 debt 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 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. 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 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):

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily due to an increase in total revenues and a lower proportion of operating expenses compared to total revenues.
