CALABASAS, Calif., May 6, 2022 — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Marcus & Millichap, Inc. (the “Company”, “Marcus & Millichap”, “MMI”) (NYSE: MMI), a leading national brokerage firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing, research and advisory services, today reported record financial results for the first quarter of 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2021

•

Total revenues increased by 73.6% to $319.5 million

•

Net income increased to $32.8 million, or $0.81 per common share, diluted, compared to $15.0 million, or $0.37 per common share, diluted

•

Adjusted EBITDA doubled to $51.9 million compared to $25.7 million

•

•

•

MMI achieved a record first quarter driven by our team’s effective execution as investors continued to deploy capital into commercial real estate,” said Hessam Nadji, President and CEO. “We are seeing increased equity rotation across property types and geographic markets as investors reposition assets and portfolios, and pivot to changing market conditions” he added. “Internally, contributions from strategic initiatives implemented over the past few years continued to build in the quarter. These include investments in revenue-generating technology, solid productivity among our most experienced producers, and the addition of many market-leading professionals and companies acquired in recent years.”

“Looking forward, strong fundamentals, above-trend rent growth, and anticipation of interest rate increases are keeping investor motivations elevated,” Nadji said. “Notwithstanding rising interest rates and growth concerns, we believe strong capital demand from private and institutional investors searching for inflation-hedged yield will support an active marketplace. Our growth strategy is unwavering and supported by our strong balance sheet. This includes further enhancing the MMI platform, bringing more efficiency to our sales force, adding experienced professionals, and the acquisition of synergistic companies.

Dividends

On February 16, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual regular dividend of $0.25 per share and a special dividend of $1.00 per share, payable on April 4, 2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 8, 2022. The Company accrued a dividend payable of $52.1 million, including dividend equivalents aggregating $2.5 million to be paid upon vesting on unvested restricted stock and deferred stock units granted under the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

First Quarter 2022 Results Compared to First Quarter 2021

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2022 reached $319.5 million, compared to $184.0 million for the same period during the prior year, an increase of 73.6%. The growth in total revenues was driven by increases in real estate brokerage commissions and financing fees. Real estate brokerage commissions increased 76.2% to $286.9 million from the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in overall volume of investment sales and revenue growth of 134.3% in the combined Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market and 52.7% in the Private Client Market. Financing fees increased by 48.3% to $26.5 million due to overall increase in volume of financing transactions and other ancillary financing fees.

Page 1

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $275.2 million, an increase of 68% compared to $163.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by an 80.4% increase in cost of services and a 44.2% increase in selling, general and administrative expense. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues increased by 230 basis points to 61.6% compared to the same period during the prior year, primarily due to senior investment sales and financing professionals earning additional commissions as certain annual revenue thresholds were achieved earlier than in prior years.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2022 increased by $22.9 million to $74.5 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 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) recommencement of in-person agent and client business events, conferences, and meetings; and (iv) expenses related to our recent acquisitions.

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $32.8 million, or $0.81 per common share, diluted, compared to $15.0 million, or $0.37 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 was $51.9 million, compared to $25.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

Business Outlook

Notwithstanding the potential continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and additional interest rate increases 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 80% of all commercial property sales transactions and over 59% of the commission pool. The top 10 brokerage firms, led by MMI, have an estimated 22% share of this segment by transaction count.

Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during the rest of fiscal year 2022 include:

•

Volatility in sales and financing activity and investor sentiment driven by:

•

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

•

Possible impact to investor sentiment related to economic initiatives or potential tax law changes which may contribute to 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

•

Volatility in each of the Company’s market segments

•

Increase in costs related to the recommencement of in-person events, client meetings, and conferences

•

Global geopolitical uncertainty, which may disrupt financial markets or cause investors to refrain from transacting

•

The potential for acquisition activity and subsequent integration

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. Considering 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):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022			2021
Net income	$	32,783		$	15,012

Adjusted EBITDA⁽³⁾	$	51,852		$	25,695

(1)	Other includes net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities available-for-sale.

(2)	Non-cash MSR activity includes the assumption of servicing obligations.

(3)	The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 is primarily due to a lower proportion of operating expenses compared to total revenues.
