“Despite a challenging fourth quarter spurred by the Fed-induced market disruption, MMI delivered record revenue in 2022 and the second-best earnings in our 52-year history,” stated Hessam Nadji, Marcus & Millichap’s President and CEO. “Last year’s Federal Reserve actions to fight runaway inflation resulted in the most aggressive financial tightening in 40 years, disrupting valuations and reducing fourth quarter market sales by 57%, according to data from Real Capital Analytics. Our fourth quarter financial results were directly impacted by the market disruption and costs related to investments in long-term growth initiatives. However, the relative strength of the Marcus & Millichap platform was on display as we outperformed the market with nearly 2,700 closings in the quarter.”

Mr. Nadji continued, “Notwithstanding ongoing near-term market headwinds, we expect clarity to emerge as the Fed nears the end of its tightening cycle and real estate investors recalibrate expectations on valuations. This will take time to emerge broadly and lift trading volumes, but there is no shortage of capital or buyer demand for appropriately priced assets. Our strategy to stay focused on the long term, continue investing in technology, market-leading talent and accretive acquisitions is unwavering. As we have proven through many cycles, our client-driven, value-added services are particularly sought after during times of disruption and foster robust recovery as cycles turn. We continue to invest in our business, which we believe will further enhance our market position and enable us to create even more long-term value for our shareholders.”

Capital Allocation

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company declared two semi-annual regular dividends and one special dividend totaling $62.6 million, and repurchased 864,271 shares of common stock for $29.6 million.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Results Compared to Fourth Quarter 2021

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $262.4 million, compared to $495.1 million for the same period during the prior year, decreasing by 47.0%. Real estate brokerage commissions decreased to $235.8 million, compared to $455.5 million from the same period in the prior year primarily driven by lower transaction volume resulting from a slowdown in market activity arising from increasing interest rates and an uncertain economic outlook.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $256.6 million, a decrease of 37.9% compared to $413.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by a 45.8% decrease in cost of services and a 5.7% decrease in selling, general and administrative expense. Cost of services as a percent of total revenue increased by 160 basis points to 68.9% compared to the same period during the prior year, primarily due to more tenured agents achieving a larger share of revenue throughout the year.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by $4.4 million to $72.6 million, compared to the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to a decrease in management performance compensation.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $7.9 million, or $0.20 per common share, diluted, compared to $62.0 million, or $1.53 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $14.1 million, compared to $88.2 million for the same period in the prior year.
Full Year 2022 Results Compared to Full Year 2021
Total revenue for 2022 reached $1,302 million, compared to $1,296 million for 2021, an increase of $5.3 million, or 0.4%. Total operating expenses for 2022 were $1,164 million, compared to $1,107 million for 2021, which represents an increase of 5.2%. Cost of services as a percent of total revenue increased to 65.4% for 2022, up 60 basis points compared to 2021, primarily due to a larger share of revenue generated by more tenured agents. Net income for 2022 was $104.2 million, or $2.59 per common share, diluted, compared with $142.5 million, or $3.55 per common share, diluted, for 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 decreased to $165.5 million, from $213.0 million for 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 1,904 investment sales and financing professionals, a net reduction of 90 over the prior year.

Business Outlook
The economy and commercial real estate transaction market will likely remain choppy for the first half of 2023 as interest rate fluctuations and lender caution impair the price discovery process and the buyer/seller expectation gap remains wide. However, the Company believes it remains 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 21% share of this segment by transaction count.

Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during 2023 include:
Volatility in market sales and investor sentiment driven by:
oThe elevated cost of debt capital
oInterest rate fluctuations and the heightened bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers
oRisks of an impending recession and the resulting reduction of CRE space demand that results from uncertainty
oPossible impact to investor sentiment related to potential tax and other policy changes which may contribute to transaction acceleration and/or future fluctuations in sales and financing activity
oRising operating costs driven by wages, insurance, taxes and construction materials
Volatility in each of the Company’s market segments
Increase in costs related to in-person events, client meetings, and conferences as the economy opens further
Global geopolitical uncertainty, which may 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. 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):
