1.    Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Description of Business
Marcus & Millichap, Inc. (the “Company,” “Marcus & Millichap,” or “MMI”), a Delaware corporation, is a real estate services firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing services, research and advisory services. As of September 30, 2024, MMI operates over 80 offices in the United States and Canada through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the operations of Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation.
Reorganization and Initial Public Offering
MMI was formed in June 2013 in preparation for Marcus & Millichap Company (“MMC”) to spin-off its majority-owned subsidiary, Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, Inc. (“MMREIS”). Prior to the initial public offering (“IPO”) of MMI, all of the preferred and common stockholders of MMREIS (including MMC and employees of MMREIS) contributed all of their outstanding shares to MMI, in exchange for new MMI common stock. As a result, MMREIS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMI. Thereafter, MMC distributed 80.0% of the shares of MMI common stock to MMC’s shareholders and exchanged the remaining portion of its shares of MMI common stock for cancellation of indebtedness of MMC. MMI completed its IPO on November 5, 2013.
Basis of Presentation
The financial information presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, has been prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, including the Company’s accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2024 with the SEC. The results of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, for other interim periods or for future years.
Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, investments in marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, investments in strategic alliance partners (included under other assets, current and non-current), security deposits (included under other assets, non-current), and commissions receivable, net. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are placed with high-credit quality financial institutions and invested in high-credit quality money market funds and commercial paper. Concentrations and ratings of investments in marketable debt securities, available-for-sale are limited by the approved investment policy.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To reduce its credit risk, the Company monitors the credit standing of the financial institutions and money market funds that represent amounts recorded as cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The Company historically has not experienced any significant losses related to cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash.
In September 2021, the Company entered into a Strategic Alliance (“Strategic Alliance”) with M&T Realty Capital Corporation (“MTRCC”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide loan opportunities that may be funded through MTRCC’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Agreement (“DUS Agreement”) with the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) that requires MTRCC to guarantee a portion of each loan funded. On a loan-by-loan basis, the Company, at its option, can indemnify a portion of MTRCC’s guarantee obligation of loan opportunities presented to and closed by MTRCC through the DUS Agreement. The Company manages and limits the concentration of risk related to the guarantees assumed by monitoring the underlying property type, geographic location, credit of the borrowers, underlying debt service coverage, and loan to value ratios.
The Company derives its revenue from a broad range of real estate investors, owners, and users in the United States and Canada, none of which individually represents a significant concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains allowances, as needed, for estimated credit losses based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of collection. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no transaction represented 10% or more of total revenue. Further, while one or more transactions may represent 10% or more of commissions receivable at any reporting date, amounts due for brokerage and financing transactions are typically collected within 10 days of settlement and, therefore, do not expose the Company to significant credit risk.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s Canadian operations represented 3.8% and 4.9% of total revenue, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's Canadian operations represented 5.4% and 4.0% of total revenue, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no office represented 10% or more of total revenue.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates real estate brokerage commissions by acting as a broker for real estate owners or investors seeking to buy or sell interests in commercial properties and generates financing fees from securing financing on purchase transactions, from refinancing its clients’ existing mortgage debt and other ancillary fees associated with financing activities, including, but not limited to, debt and equity advisory services, loan sales, due diligence services, loan guarantee fees, loan performance fees and other consulting services.
Real Estate Brokerage Commissions
Contracts for representing buyers and sellers of real estate are usually negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The consideration associated with the successful outcome remains constrained until the completion of a transaction which happens at the close of escrow. At that time, the Company's performance is complete.
Financing Fees
Contracts for representing potential borrowers are usually negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The consideration associated with the successful outcome remains constrained until the completion of a transaction which occurs at the time the loan closes. At that time, the Company recognizes revenue related to the transaction. The Company’s fee arrangements, with an exception for guarantee obligations, do not include terms or conditions that require the Company to perform any service or fulfill any obligation once the loan closes.
Loan Performance Fees - For loans originated through the Strategic Alliance with MTRCC, the Company receives variable consideration in the form of loan performance fees based on a portion of the servicing fees expected to be received under the servicing contract for servicing the loan. As the Company is not obligated to perform any servicing functions and has no further obligations related to the transaction giving rise to the loan performance fees, the estimated value of the loan performance fees to be received is recorded at the time the loan closes and are collected over the estimated term of the
10

(Unaudited)
related loan. Any changes in the estimate of loan performance fees to be received are recorded in revenue in the period the estimate changes.
Guarantee Obligations - For certain loans originated through the Strategic Alliance with MTRCC, the Company may agree, at its option, to indemnify MTRCC for a portion of MTRCC’s obligations for loans sold to Fannie Mae. For these loans, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price and records a loan guarantee obligation based on its fair value. Revenue for this stand-ready obligation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the estimated guarantee period and is recorded in financing fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The guarantee obligation is capped at 16.7% of any unpaid principal balance in excess of the value of the collateral securing such loan. For these loans, the Company is required to pledge cash in a restricted bank account in support of the guarantee obligation. The Company records an allowance for estimated losses related to the loans subject to the guarantee considering the risk characteristics of the loan, the loan's risk rating, historical loss experience, potential adverse situations affecting individual loans and other forecasted information as appropriate.
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes fees generated from leasing, consulting and advisory services, as well as referral fees from other real estate brokers, and such fees are recognized when services are provided, or upon closing of the transaction or when the Company has no further performance obligations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pending Adoption
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 was issued in response to the SEC’s final amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification that updated and simplified disclosure requirements that the SEC believed were duplicative, overlapping, or outdated, and to align the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) with the SEC’s disclosure requirements. The effective date for each amendment in ASU 2023-06 will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by June 30, 2027, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to require the disclosure of segment expenses if they are (i) significant to the segment, (ii) regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), and (iii) included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. Public entities will be required to provide this disclosure quarterly. In addition, this ASU requires an annual disclosure of the CODM’s title and a description of how the CODM uses the segment’s profit/loss measure to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. Compliance with these and certain other disclosure requirements will be required for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2024, and for subsequent quarterly and annual reports. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), to require disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information on income taxes paid. The new requirements should be applied on a prospective basis with an option to apply them retrospectively. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements (“ASU 2024-02”), which removes references to various FASB Concepts Statements in the guidance to simplify the Codification and draw a distinction between authoritative and nonauthoritative literature.

The Company invests its excess cash in a diversified portfolio of fixed and variable rate debt securities to meet current and future cash flow needs. All investments are made in accordance with the Company’s approved investment policy. As of September 30, 2024, the portfolio had a weighted average credit rating of A+ and a weighted term to contractual maturity of 2.2 years. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 138 securities in the portfolio representing an unrealized aggregate loss of $1.3 million, or 1% of amortized cost, and a weighted average credit rating of A+.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company performed an impairment analysis and determined an allowance for credit losses was not required. The Company determined that it did not have an intent to sell and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell any security based on its current liquidity position, or to maintain compliance with its investment policy, specifically as it relates to minimum credit ratings. The Company evaluated the securities with an unrealized loss considering severity of loss, credit ratings, specific credit events during the period since acquisition, overall likelihood of default, market sector, potential impact from the current economic environment, including interest rates, geopolitical unrest and a review of an issuer’s and securities’ liquidity and financial strength, as needed. The Company concluded that it would receive all scheduled interest and principal payments. The Company, therefore, determined qualitatively that the unrealized loss was related to changes in interest rates and other market factors and therefore no allowance for credit losses was required.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. In addition to the annual impairment evaluation, the Company evaluates at least quarterly whether events or circumstances have occurred in the period subsequent to the annual impairment testing, which indicate that it is more likely than not an impairment loss has occurred. The Company evaluates its intangible assets that have finite useful lives whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company considered the impact of economic conditions and evaluated its goodwill and intangible assets for impairment testing. The Company estimated the recoverability of the intangible assets by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows that the Company expects the asset to generate. The sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows was greater than the carrying amount of the intangible assets. The Company concluded that as of September 30, 2024, there was no impairment of its intangible assets or goodwill.

(1)The SARs and deferred compensation liabilities become subject to payout at the time the participant is no longer considered a service provider. As a result of the retirement of certain participants, estimated amounts to be paid to participants within the next twelve months have been classified as current. .

SARs Liability
Prior to the IPO, certain employees of the Company were granted SARs under a stock-based compensation program assumed by MMC. In connection with the IPO, the SARs agreements were revised, the MMC liability of $20.0 million for the SARs was frozen as of March 31, 2013 and was transferred to MMI through a capital distribution. The SARs liability will be settled with each participant in ten annual installments in January of each year upon retirement or termination from service, or in full upon consummation of a change in control of the Company.
Under the revised agreements, MMI is required to accrue interest on the outstanding balance beginning on January 1, 2014, at a rate based on the 10-year treasury note, plus 2%. The rate resets annually. The rates at January 1, 2024 and 2023 were 5.95% and 5.79%, respectively. MMI recorded interest expense related to this liability of $170,000 and $190,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $510,000 and $570,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Estimated payouts within the next twelve months for participants that have separated from service have been classified as current. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company made total payments of $2.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, consisting of principal and accumulated interest.
Commissions Payable
Certain investment sales and financing professionals can earn additional commissions after meeting certain annual revenue thresholds. These commissions are recognized as cost of services in the period in which they are earned as they relate to specific transactions closed. The Company may defer payment of certain commissions, at its election, for up to three years. Commissions that are not expected to be paid within twelve months are classified as long-term.
Deferred Compensation Liability
A select group of management is eligible to participate in the Marcus & Millichap Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). The Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and permits participants to defer compensation up to the limits set forth in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts are paid out generally when the participant is no longer a service provider; however, an in-service payout election is available to participants. Participants may elect to receive payouts as a lump sum or quarterly over a two to fifteen-year period. The Company elected to fund the Deferred Compensation Plan through Company-owned variable life insurance policies. The Deferred Compensation Plan is managed by a third-party institutional fund manager, and the deferred compensation and investment earnings are held as a Company asset in a rabbi trust, which is recorded in assets held in rabbi trust in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The assets in the trust are restricted unless the Company becomes insolvent, in which case the trust assets are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. The Company may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to withdraw at any time a portion of the trust assets by an amount by which the fair market value of the trust assets exceeds

110% of the aggregate deferred compensation liability represented by the participants’ accounts. Estimated payouts within the next twelve months for participants that have separated from service or elected an in-service payout have been classified as current. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company made total payments to participants of $172,000 and $240,000 respectively.
The assets held in the rabbi trust are carried at the cash surrender value of the variable life insurance policies, which represents its fair value.

7.    Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. The Company uses various pricing sources and third parties to provide and validate the values utilized.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments is generally inversely correlated with the level of observable valuation inputs. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Financial instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment.
Assets recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of the three “levels” based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair values as discussed below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Management estimates include certain
19

(Unaudited)
pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company values its investments including commercial paper and floating net asset value money market funds recorded in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, investments in marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, assets held in the rabbi trust, deferred compensation liability, contingent and deferred consideration and investments in convertible notes at fair value on a recurring basis.
Fair values for investments included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and marketable debt securities, available-for-sale were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio and all securities are Level 1 or 2 measurements as appropriate.
Fair values for assets held in the rabbi trust and related deferred compensation liability were determined based on the cash surrender value of the Company-owned variable life insurance policies and underlying investments in the trust, and are Level 2 and Level 1 measurements, respectively.
Contingent consideration in connection with acquisitions, is carried at fair value and determined on a contract-by-contract basis, calculated using unobservable inputs based on a probability of achieving EBITDA and other performance requirements, and is a Level 3 measurement. Deferred consideration in connection with acquisitions is carried at fair value and calculated using a discounted cash flow estimate with the only remaining condition on such payments being the passage of time, and is a Level 2 measurement.
We have elected to account for our investments in convertible notes, included in other assets, under the fair value option, with changes in fair value recognized in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We estimate the fair value of each convertible note at each balance sheet date using a scenario-based framework that incorporates various scenarios weighted based on the expected likelihood of occurrence. Within each scenario, a discounted cash flow approach was utilized, taking the expected settlement for the event, and discounting it based on the expected timing and a discount rate. Each of the assumptions in the model were considered significant assumptions. We noted that a change in the expected probability, expected payoff, timing, or discount rate, would result in a change to the fair value ascribed to the convertible notes. As these are significant inputs not observable in the market, the valuation is classified as a Level 3 measurement.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company considered current and future interest rates and the probability of achieving EBITDA and other performance targets in its determination of fair value for the contingent consideration. The Company is uncertain as to the extent of the volatility in the unobservable inputs in the foreseeable future. Deferred consideration in connection with acquisitions is carried at fair value and calculated using a discounted cash flow estimate with the only remaining condition on such payments being the passage of time.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contingent and deferred consideration had a maximum undiscounted payment to be settled in cash or stock of $12.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively. Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria and time requirements, the Company anticipates these payments will be made over the next one to three-year period. Changes in fair value are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the convertible notes considered (i) the contractual maturity which may be extended at the option of the holders, (ii) a weighted average premium at settlement of 111% upon a subsequent financing, equity financing or a change in control, and (iii) a weighted average discount rate of 14.4%. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the fair value of the convertible notes increased by approximately $34,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the fair value of the convertible notes increased by approximately $617,000 primarily due to accrued interest and the reduction in the estimated time to settlement from a weighted average of 1.8 years to 0.84 years.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, from time to time, the Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles, goodwill and other assets for indications of impairment at least annually. When indications of potential impairment are identified, the Company may be required to determine the fair value of those assets and record an adjustment for the carrying amount in excess of the fair value determined. Any fair value determination would be based on valuation approaches, which are appropriate under the circumstances and utilize Level 2 and Level 3 measurements as required.

2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) in October 2013. In February 2017, the Board of Directors amended and restated the 2013 Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders in May 2017. In October 2023 and February 2024, the Board of Directors further amended the 2013 Plan to eliminate the term of the 2013 Plan and to make certain other best practice and administrative changes (the 2013 Plan, as amended, the “Amended Plan”). The Amended Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Grants are made from time to time by the Compensation Committee at its discretion, subject to certain restrictions as to the number and value of shares that may be granted to any individual. In addition, non-employee directors receive

(Unaudited)
annual grants under a Director Compensation Policy. The Compensation Committee, at its discretion, may credit dividend equivalents to certain unvested awards as provided in the Amended Plan. Any dividend equivalents credited to unvested awards are paid to the participant at the time the related grants vest. As of September 30, 2024, there were 2,832,730 shares available for future grants under the Amended Plan.
Awards Granted and Settled
Under the Amended Plan, the Company has issued RSAs to non-employee directors and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and independent contractors. RSAs vest over a one-year period from the date of grant, subject to service requirements. RSUs generally vest in equal annual installments over a five-year period from the date of grant or earlier as approved by the Compensation Committee. Dividend equivalents granted for unvested stock awards are paid at the time the stock awards vest. Any unvested awards and dividend equivalents are forfeited upon termination as a service provider. As of September 30, 2024, there were no issued or outstanding options, SARs, performance units or performance share awards under the Amended Plan.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 552,908 RSUs and RSAs vested, with 165,863 shares of common stock withheld to pay applicable required employee statutory withholding taxes based on the market value of the shares on the vesting date. The shares withheld for taxes were returned to the share reserve and are available for future issuance in accordance with provisions of the Amended Plan. Unvested RSUs will be settled through the issuance of new shares of common stock.
Outstanding Awards
Activity under the Amended Plan consisted of the following (dollars in thousands, except weighted average per share data):

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation relating to RSUs and RSAs of approximately $63.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and provides for consecutive, non-overlapping six-month offering periods. The offering periods generally start on the first trading day on or after May 15 and November 15 of each year. Qualifying employees may purchase shares of the Company stock at a discount based on the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of the offering period, subject to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limitations. The Company determined that the ESPP was a compensatory plan and is required to expense the fair value of the awards over each six-month offering period.
In October 2023 and February 2024, the Board of Directors amended the ESPP to (i) eliminate the term of the ESPP such that the ESPP shall continue in effect until the ESPP is terminated by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, (ii) eliminate the “evergreen” feature providing for annual increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP without stockholder approval, (iii) increase the discount qualifying employees may purchase

shares of the Company stock to 15% based on the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of the offering period, subject to IRS limitations and (iv) make certain other best practice and administrative changes to the ESPP (the “Amended ESPP”). The Amended ESPP was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The ESPP initially had 366,667 shares of common stock reserved, and 94,746 shares of common stock remain available for issuance as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Amended ESPP was $32,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.12 years.

12.    Commitments and Contingencies
Credit Agreement
On September 25, 2023, the Company executed the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Bank"), which provides for a $10 million line of credit and a maturity date of June 1, 2024. On May 30, 2024, the Company executed the Second Amendment to the Second Amended Restated Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date to June 1, 2025 (the “Credit Facility”).
The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Facility until its maturity date, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility must be repaid in full. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Credit Facility includes a $3.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit of which $1,050,000 was utilized at September 30, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus a spread of 175 basis points. In connection with the amendments to the Credit Agreement, the Company paid bank fees and other expenses, which are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. The Company pays a commitment fee of up to 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the amount of unutilized commitments under the Credit Facility. The amortization and commitment fees are included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and were $37,000 and $50,000 for

the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $100,000 and $101,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants, financial reporting requirements and events of default. Financial covenants require the Company, on a combined basis with its guarantors, to maintain total liquidity including cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, held for sale of $100 million and an average daily cash balance of $35 million with the Bank, on a combined basis with all the guarantors, calculated as of the end of the month. In addition, the Credit Facility requires that $10 million of the minimum daily average cash deposits be held in a blocked account at the Bank, as cash collateral. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company, including pledges of 100% of the stock or other equity interest of each subsidiary except for the capital stock of a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), in which case no such pledge is required. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants and has not experienced any limitation in its operations as a result of the covenants. Our ability to borrow under our Credit Facility is limited by our ability to comply with its covenants or obtain necessary waivers.
Strategic Alliance
The Company, in connection with the Strategic Alliance with MTRCC, has agreed to provide loan opportunities that may be funded through MTRCC’s DUS Agreement with Fannie Mae. MTRCC's agreement with Fannie Mae requires MTRCC to guarantee a portion of each funded loan. On a loan-by-loan basis, the Company, at its option, can indemnify a portion of MTRCC’s guarantee obligation of loan opportunities presented to and closed by MTRCC. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has agreed to a maximum aggregate guarantee obligation of $226.0 million relating to loans with an unpaid balance of $1,356.3 million. The Company would be liable for its maximum aggregate guarantee obligation only if all of the loans for which it is providing a guarantee to MTRCC were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans were determined to be without value at the time of settlement. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded an allowance for loss-sharing obligations of $1,222,000 and $851,000, respectively, and pledged $678,000 and $283,000, respectively, in a restricted bank account in support of the guarantee obligation.
Other
In connection with certain agreements with investment sales and financing professionals, the Company may agree to advance amounts to such professionals upon reaching certain time and performance goals. Such commitments as of September 30, 2024 aggregated $16.8 million.
13.    Subsequent Events
On August 1, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual regular dividend of $0.25 per share, or $10.2 million, payable to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 16, 2024, of which $9.7 million was paid on October 4, 2024.

Overview
We are a leading national real estate services firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing services, research and advisory services. We have been the top commercial real estate investment broker in the United States based on the number of investment transactions for more than 15 years. As of September 30, 2024, we had 1,678 investment sales and financing professionals that are primarily exclusive independent contractors operating in more than 80 offices, who provide real estate brokerage and financing services to sellers and buyers of commercial real estate assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we closed 1,987 and 5,351 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total sales volume of approximately $12.0 billion and $31.2 billion, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we closed 7,546 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total sales volume of approximately $43.6 billion.
We generate revenue by collecting real estate brokerage commissions upon the sale, and financing fees upon the financing of commercial properties, by providing equity advisory services and loan sales, loan guarantees and by providing leasing, consulting and advisory services. Real estate brokerage commissions are typically based upon the value of the property and financing fees are typically based upon the size of the loan. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, approximately 84% of our revenue was generated from real estate brokerage commissions, 12% from financing fees and 4% from other real estate related services.
We divide commercial real estate into four major markets, characterized by price:
Properties priced less than $1 million;
Private client market: properties priced from $1 million to up to but less than $10 million;
Middle market: properties priced from $10 million to up to but less than $20 million; and
Larger transaction market: properties priced from $20 million and above.
We are the industry leader in serving private clients in the $1 million - $10 million private client market, which contributed approximately 62% and 65% of our real estate brokerage commissions during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and approximately 63% and 67% of our real estate brokerage commissions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The following tables set forth the number of transactions, sales volume and revenue by each commercial real estate market for real estate brokerage:

Factors Affecting Our Business
Our business and our operating results, financial condition and liquidity are significantly affected by the number and size of commercial real estate investment sales and financing transactions that we close in any period. The number and size of these transactions are affected by our ability to recruit and retain investment sales and financing professionals, identify and contract properties for sale, and identify those that need financing and refinancing. We principally monitor the commercial real estate market through four factors, which generally drive our business. The factors are the economy, commercial real estate supply and demand, capital markets, and investor sentiment and investment activity.
The Economy
Our business is dependent on economic conditions within the markets in which we operate. Changes in the economy on a global, national, regional, or local basis can have a positive or negative impact on our business. Economic indicators and projections related to job growth, unemployment, interest rates, retail spending and consumer confidence trends can have a positive or negative impact on our business. Overall market conditions, including global trade, interest rate changes, inflation, job creation, and global events can affect investor sentiment and, ultimately, the demand for our services from investors in real estate.
A “soft landing” remains the leading consensus economic forecast for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, but economic readings in the second half of 2024 have been inconsistent. Upward revisions to job creation statistics during the summer months and adding 254,000 positions in September, together with a 20 basis point reduction of the unemployment rate curbed expectations of significant Federal Reserve rate reductions in the final two months of 2024. In addition, October labor strikes and a series of natural disasters could skew fourth quarter economic data, making it more difficult to determine a clear economic trend. Nonetheless, inflation still appears to be slowly trending lower. Prevailing Wall Street sentiment continues to predict modest Federal Reserve rate cuts in the final months of 2024. At the same time, inflation-adjusted core retail sales continued to exhibit moderate gains, up 1.3% on a year-over-year basis through September, and the Institute of Supply Chain Management (“ISM”) leading economic indices have delivered mixed readings. The ISM manufacturing index remains contractionary, while the ISM services index suggests economic growth in the service sector.
30

Table of Contents
We believe this combination of economic trends will generate modestly positive economic growth through the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, but the growth is not expected to be substantial enough to reignite inflation.
Both the headline Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) inflation metric and the Personal Consumption Expenditure (“PCE”) index have sustained downward momentum, with CPI registering 2.4% and PCE reading 2.1% in September. While these trends have been positive, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation metric, the core Personal Consumption Expenditure, has proven more sticky, hovering in the 2.6% to 2.7% range for five consecutive months. Following the 50 basis point rate cut in September and 25 basis point rate cut in November by the Federal Reserve, Wall Street metrics suggest the Federal Reserve will further reduce rates by 25 basis points at their next meeting. We believe that such a move could positively impact investor sentiment and bolster the flow of capital into commercial real estate.
Commercial Real Estate Supply and Demand
Our business is dependent on the willingness of investors to invest in or sell commercial real estate, which is affected by many factors beyond our control. These factors include the supply of commercial real estate, coupled with user demand for these properties, and the performance of real estate assets, when compared with other investment alternatives, such as stocks and bonds.
All four major property types demonstrated positive space demand in the third quarter of 2024, although each demonstrated unique nuances. Over 191,000 net apartment units were filled in the quarter, the strongest quarterly results since 2021. The demand modestly outpaced the record-level 163,000 apartment completions delivered in the quarter to reduce vacancy by 20 basis points to 5.6%. Robust apartment demand outpaced expectations and bolstered multifamily investor confidence.
The industrial vacancy rate increased in the third quarter of 2024 as elevated construction exceeded space demand of 22 million square feet. Industrial completions have been highly concentrated, with about half of the additions being delivered in seven metros areas. Although many retailers increased their inventories in anticipation of the east coast dockworker strike, warehouse industrial space needs have tapered significantly over the last two years. Retail vacancy rates remain near a record-low, with space absorption being restricted by limited space availability and nominal construction levels. Office vacancy rates decreased by 20 basis points to 17.0% on positive absorption of 26 million square feet, the strongest quarterly office space demand since 2021. Nonetheless, the office performance outlook remains in question as it is unclear when or if a sizable portion of workers will return permanently to the office.
Although the fundamentals of most property types remain sound, with the notable exception of urban office properties, both lending and investor activity remain below the pre-pandemic historical norm. The expectation gap between buyers and sellers has narrowed slightly, particularly after the Federal Reserve reduced rates in September, but the gap remains challenging. The demand for space will continue to be influenced by consumer and business sentiment as well as the broader economic outlook. However, should the Federal Reserve reduce rates in the fourth quarter, as expected, sentiment could continue to strengthen and space demand could increase.
Capital Markets
Credit and liquidity issues in the financial markets have a direct impact on the flow of capital to the commercial real estate market. Real estate purchases are often financed with debt, and as a result, credit and liquidity impact transaction activity and prices. Movements of interest rates in one direction, whether increasing or decreasing, could adversely or positively affect the operations and income potential of commercial real estate properties, as well as lender and equity underwriting for real estate investments. These changes directly influence investor demand for commercial real estate investments and what they are willing to pay. Furthermore, the use of debt or loan-to-value ratios can shift along with lender confidence and underwriting standards. At times of heightened uncertainty or liquidity issues, loan-to-values decline, requiring buyers to provide more equity and take more risk to close deals.
The capital markets remain at the heart of the commercial real estate transaction slowdown over the last two years. The combination of sustained higher interest rates with tighter lender underwriting, reduced loan-to-value standards and a broad-based reduction in the volume of available debt capital have restrained market liquidity. This has forced investors to recalibrate their underwriting. This widened the buyer/seller expectation gap and reduced trading throughout 2023 and thus far in 2024.
31

Table of Contents
The 50 basis point rate reduction by the Federal Reserve in September improved investor sentiment, but the increase of the 10-year treasury rate following the rate cut has negatively impacted borrowing rates. Nonetheless, we believe that the sustained downward pressure on interest rates over the next year anticipated by most investors will ultimately occur, and many investors have reinitiated preliminary actions that may ultimately lead to transaction activity. At present, FedWatch has assigned a high likelihood that the Federal Reserve overnight rate will be in the 4.25%-4.5% range by year-end. However, numerous variables including the election, global geopolitical forces, job creation trends and other economic readings could still sway those expectations. Despite the broad consensus that the Federal Reserve will continue to reduce rates, there can be no certainty until each reduction takes place.
Investor Sentiment and Investment Activity
We facilitate investors buying, selling, and financing properties in order to generate commissions. Investors’ desires and need to engage in real estate transactions are dependent on many factors that are beyond our control. The economy, supply and demand for properly positioned properties, available credit and market events impact investor sentiment and, therefore, transaction velocity. In addition, our private clients, who make up the largest source of revenue, are often motivated to buy, sell and/or refinance properties due to personal circumstances, such as death, divorce, partnership breakups and estate planning.
The commercial real estate sector once again saw below average sales activity in the third quarter as investors contended with persistent headwinds including still-elevated interest rates, tightened lender underwriting and the buyer/seller expectation gap. Although some signs of recovery have emerged, including more exclusive inventory being brought to market, a sustainable recovery in trading volumes has yet to occur. We believe a significant volume of investment capital remains un-deployed waiting for economic, interest rate, financial market, geopolitical and commercial real estate pricing clarity. Should the Federal Reserve continue to reduce rates, it would support positive momentum, but finalizing the transaction process will take additional time.
Office properties, particularly those in the urban core, continue to face the greatest uncertainty and the greatest challenges in acquiring debt financing. In addition, signs of distress and the potential for additional foreclosures in this commercial real estate segment continue to rise. Apartment financing, underpinned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has generally been the most attainable, with typically lower interest rates than other property types. However, the rapid interest rate spike relative to the sector's very low cap rates and the large apartment development pipeline together with still-modest rent growth has impacted apartment sales. Defensive assets, such as single-tenant net lease properties backed by high-credit tenants, and medical office assets continue to receive buyer interest, but sales of these types of properties have also fallen as the flow of 1031 exchange capital coming from other property types has diminished. Ultimately, the market velocity will be dictated by a combination of the economic outlook, geopolitical forces, Federal Reserve action, interest rates and the narrowing of the buyer/seller expectation gap. As downward pressure on interest rates is applied, we believe commercial real estate investment activity could gain momentum.
Key Financial Measures and Indicators
Revenue
Our revenue is primarily generated from our real estate investment sales business. In addition to real estate brokerage commissions, we generate revenue from financing fees and from other revenue, which are primarily comprised of leasing, consulting and advisory fees.
Because our business is transaction oriented, we rely on investment sales and financing professionals to continually develop leads, identify properties to sell and finance, market those properties and close the sale timely to generate a consistent flow of revenue. While our sales volume is impacted by seasonality factors, the timing of closings is also dependent on many market and personal factors unique to a particular client or transaction, particularly clients transacting in the $1 million to $10 million private client market. These factors can cause transactions to be accelerated or delayed beyond our control. Further, commission rates earned are generally inversely related to the value of the property sold. As a result of our expansion into the middle and larger transaction markets, we have seen our overall commission rates fluctuate from period-to-period as a result of changes in the relative mix of the number and volume of investment sales transactions closed in the middle and larger transaction markets as compared to the $1 million to $10 million private client market. These factors may result in period-to-period variations in our revenue that differ from historical patterns.
A small percentage of our transactions include retainer fees and/or breakage fees. Retainer fees are credited against a success-based fee paid upon the closing of a transaction or a breakage fee. Transactions that are terminated before
32

Table of Contents
completion will sometimes generate breakage fees, which are usually calculated as a set amount or a percentage of the fee we would have received had the transaction closed.
Real Estate Brokerage Commissions
We earn real estate brokerage commissions by acting as a broker for commercial real estate owners seeking to sell or investors seeking to buy properties. Revenue from real estate brokerage commissions is recognized at the close of escrow.
Financing Fees
We earn financing fees by securing financing on purchase transactions or by securing refinancing of our clients’ existing mortgage debt. We recognize financing fee revenue at the time the loan closes, and we have no remaining significant obligations in connection with the transaction.
To a lesser extent, we also earn fees on loan performance, equity advisory services, loan sales, loan guarantees and ancillary services associated with financing activities. We recognize guarantee fees over the term of the guarantee and other fees when we have no further performance obligations, generally upon the closing of a transaction.
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes fees generated from leasing, consulting and advisory services, as well as referral fees from other real estate brokers, and are recognized when services are provided, upon closing of the transaction or when we have no further performance obligations.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of cost of services, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. The significant components of our expenses are further described below.
Cost of Services
The majority of our cost of services expense is variable commissions paid to our investment sales and financing professionals and compensation-related costs related to our financing activities. Commission expenses are directly attributable to providing services to our clients for investment sales and financing services. Most of our investment sales and financing professionals are independent contractors and are paid commissions; however, because there are some who are initially paid a salary and certain of our financing professionals are employees, costs of services also include employee-related compensation, employer taxes and benefits for those employees. The commission rates we pay to our investment sales and financing professionals vary based on individual contracts negotiated and are generally higher for the more experienced professionals. Some of our most senior investment sales and financing professionals can also earn additional commissions after meeting certain annual financial thresholds. These additional commissions are recognized as cost of services in the period in which they are earned. Payment of a portion of these additional commissions are generally deferred for a period of three years, at our election, and paid at the end of the third calendar year. Cost of services also includes referral fees paid to other real estate brokers where we are the principal service provider. Cost of services, therefore, can vary based on the commission structure of the independent contractors that closed transactions in any particular period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The largest expense component within selling, general and administrative expenses is personnel expenses for our management team and sales and support staff, as well as business development, marketing, and expensing of forgivable loans over the retention period of our sales and financing professionals. In addition, these costs include facilities costs (excluding depreciation and amortization), staff related expenses, sales, marketing, legal, telecommunication, network, data sources, changes in fair value for contingent and deferred consideration and other administrative expenses. Also included in selling, general and administrative are expenses for stock-based compensation to non-employee directors, employees and independent contractors (i.e. investment sales and financing professionals) under the Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Amended ESPP”).

Table of Contents
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation expense consists of depreciation recorded on our computer software and hardware, as well as our furniture, fixtures and equipment. Depreciation is recognized over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years for assets. Amortization expense consists of amortization recorded on intangible assets amortized on a straight-line basis using a useful life between one and seven years.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net primarily consists of interest income, realized gains and losses on our marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, net gains or losses on our deferred compensation plan assets, foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating income and expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily consists of interest expense associated with the stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) liability, and our credit agreement.
Benefit for Income Taxes
We are subject to U.S. and Canadian federal taxes and individual state and local taxes based on the income generated in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate fluctuates as a result of (i) changes in our annual effective tax rate applied to current pre-tax income (loss), (ii) the change in the mix of our activities in the jurisdictions in which we operate due to differing tax rates in those jurisdictions and (iii) the impact of permanent items, including compensation charges, qualified transportation fringe benefits, uncertain tax positions, meals and entertainment and tax-exempt deferred compensation plan assets. Our benefit for income taxes includes the windfall tax benefits and shortfall expenses, net, from shares issued in connection with our Amended Plan and Amended ESPP.
We record deferred taxes, net based on the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time those items are expected to be recognized for tax purposes.
Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The tables included in the period comparisons below provide summaries of our results of operations. The period-to-period comparisons of financial results are not necessarily indicative of future results.
Key Operating Metrics
We regularly review a number of key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. We also believe these metrics are relevant to investors’ and others’ assessment of our financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we closed 1,987 and 1,846 investment sales, financing and other transactions, respectively, with total sales volume of approximately $12.0 billion and $11.4 billion, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we closed 5,351 and 5,599 investment sales, financing and other transactions,

Revenue
Total revenue was $168.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $162.0 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $6.5 million, or 4.0%. Total revenue increased as a result of increases in real estate brokerage commissions, financing fees and other revenue, as described below. See “Factors Affecting Our Business” for additional market information.
Real estate brokerage commissions. Revenue from real estate brokerage commissions increased to $142.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $139.8 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $2.2 million, or 1.5%. The increase was the result of total sales volume increasing by 14.7%, partially offset by a reduction of 22 basis points in the average commission rate earned during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Private Client Market revenue decreased by 4.3%, while the combined Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market revenue increased by 15.1%.
Financing fees. Revenue from financing fees increased to $20.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $17.3 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $3.3 million, or 19.3%, resulting primarily from a 12.0% increase in total financing volume and a two basis point increase in the average fee rate during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Other revenue. Other revenue increased to $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $5.0 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $1.0 million, or 20.3%, resulting primarily from an increase in consulting fees.

Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $180.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $177.5 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $2.5 million, or 1.4%. The change was primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in selling, general, and administrative expenses as described below.
Cost of services. Cost of services are variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation-related costs in connection with our financing activities. Cost of services slightly increased to $104.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $104.6 million for the same period in 2023. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 240 basis points to 62.2% compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to our senior investment sales and financing professionals earning a lower amount of additional commissions.
Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased to $70.7 million, from $69.2 million compared to the same period in 2023, an increase of $1.5 million or 2.1%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, partially offset by a reduction in marketing support costs provided to our investment sales and financing professionals.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $3.6 million compared to the same period in 2023, an increase of $0.9 million, or 25.1%. The increase primarily relates to accelerated amortization of certain intangible assets resulting from changes in estimates.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net increased to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $4.4 million for the same period in 2023. The increase of $0.9 million was primarily driven by an increase in the carrying value of the assets held in the rabbi trust.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by an immaterial amount for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, and primarily relates to interest expense on the Company’s SARs liability.
Benefit for Income Taxes
The benefit for income taxes was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2023. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was 15.2% compared to 17.8% for the same period in 2023. The net decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the relationship of permanent and other items, the change in the valuation allowance and the change in the state income tax benefit to pre-tax loss as presented in Note 10 – “Income Taxes” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue
Total revenue was $456.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $479.7 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $23.7 million, or 4.9%. Total revenue decreased as a result of a decrease in real estate brokerage commissions, partially offset by increases in financing fees and other revenue, as described below. See “Factors Affecting Our Business” for additional market information.
Real estate brokerage commissions. Revenue from real estate brokerage commissions decreased to $386.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $415.2 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $28.3 million, or 6.8%. The decrease was the result of total sales volume decreasing by 3.4% and a reduction of seven basis points in the average commission rate earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Private Client Market revenue decreased by 11.8%, while the combined Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market increased by 3.6%.
Financing fees. Revenue from financing fees increased to $53.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $51.0 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $2.3 million, or 4.5%, resulting primarily from a 6.5% increase in total financing volume, partially offset by a decrease of six basis points in the average fee rate.
Other revenue. Other revenue increased to $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $13.5 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $2.3 million, or 17.4%. The increase was primarily driven by increases in leasing fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Total Operating Expenses
Our total operating expenses were $495.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $521.9 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $26.3 million, or 5.0%. Cost of services decreased by $21.5 million and selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $5.7 million, as described below.
Cost of services. Cost of services are variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation-related costs in connection with our financing activities. Cost of services decreased to $279.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $301.2 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $21.5 million, or 7.1%. The decrease was primarily due to decreased commission expenses driven by the related decreased revenue noted above. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 150 basis points to 61.3% compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to our senior investment sales and financing professionals earning a lower amount of additional commissions due to lower revenue.
Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased to $204.6 million, from $210.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $5.7 million or 2.7%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in marketing support costs provided to our investment sales and financing professionals, partially offset by an increase in compensation-related costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $10.3 million compared to the same period in 2023, an increase of $1.0 million, or 9.6%. The increase primarily relates to accelerated amortization of certain intangible assets resulting from changes in estimates.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net increased to $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $14.1 million for the same period in 2023. The increase of $1.6 million was primarily driven by increase in interest income as a result of rebalancing the Company's investments to take advantage of higher yields and an increase in the carrying value of the assets held in the rabbi trust.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by an immaterial amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, and primarily relates to interest expense on the Company’s SARs liability.
Benefit for Income Taxes
The benefit for income taxes was $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2023. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 14.7% compared to 17.1% for the same period in 2023. The effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to the relationship of permanent nondeductible items to projected pre-tax loss for the full year as the impact to the effective tax rate that were caused by other items were largely offsetting.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we include a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (i) interest income and other, including net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, (ii) interest expense, (iii) benefit for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, and (v) stock-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA in our business operations to evaluate the performance of our business, develop budgets and measure our performance against those budgets, among other things. We also believe that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate our 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 our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. We find 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, we do not rely solely on Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and also consider our U.S. GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, 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 loss, to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, cash flows from operations, marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and, if necessary, borrowings under our Credit Agreement (as defined herein). In order to enhance yield to us, we have invested a portion of our cash in money market funds and fixed and variable income debt securities, in accordance with our investment policy approved by the Board of Directors. Certain of our investments in money market funds may not maintain a stable net asset value and may impose a discretionary liquidity fee. To date, the Company has not experienced any restrictions on its ability to redeem funds from money market funds. Although we have historically funded our operations through operating cash flows, there can be no assurance that we can continue to meet our cash requirements entirely through our operations, cash, net of restricted cash, cash equivalents, and proceeds from the sale of marketable debt securities, available-for-sale or availability under our Credit Agreement.
Cash Flows
Our total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance increased by $1.9 million to $172.7 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $170.8 million at December 31, 2023.

Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities were $34.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $87.1 million for the same period in 2023. The $52.2 million decrease in cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to decreased payments for bonuses and deferred compensation and commissions in the current year compared to the same period in prior year. The larger bonus and commission payments made in the 2023 period primarily related to amounts accrued in 2022. The cash flows from operating activities are also affected by the timing of certain cash receipts and payments.

Investing Activities
Cash flows provided by investing activities were $55.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $128.7 million for the same period in 2023. The $73.4 million decrease in cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a net decrease of $74.9 million in net proceeds from sales and maturities of securities in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Net proceeds from marketable debt securities, available-for-sale during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 were used to fund operations, dividends and stock repurchases.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities were $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $53.3 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of $35.0 million in cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a decrease of $34.4 million in stock repurchases in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Liquidity
We believe that our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents, cash flows expected to be generated from our operations, and proceeds from the sale of marketable debt securities, available-for-sale will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. If we need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements, this capital might not be available to us in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise sufficient capital when needed could prevent us from funding acquisitions or otherwise financing our growth or operations. As of September 30, 2024, cash, excluding restricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, aggregated $338.3 million.
Credit Agreement
Our credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) provides for a $10.0 million principal amount senior secured revolving credit facility that is guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and matures on June 1, 2025. The Company maintains a $10.0 million restricted cash balance in support of the Credit Agreement. The Company is monitoring covenant compliance on a regular basis to ensure continued compliance with the Credit Agreement. Our ability to borrow under our Credit Agreement is limited by our ability to comply with its covenants or obtain necessary waivers. See Note 12 – “Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the Credit Agreement.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company, in connection with the Strategic Alliance with M&T Realty Capital Corporation (“MTRCC”), has agreed to provide loan opportunities that may be funded through MTRCC’s agreement with Fannie Mae, which requires MTRCC to guarantee a portion of each funded loan. On a loan-by-loan basis, the Company, at its option, can assume a portion of MTRCC’s guarantee obligation to Fannie Mae of loan opportunities presented to and closed by MTRCC. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has agreed to a maximum aggregate guarantee obligation of $226.0 million relating to loans with an unpaid balance of $1,356.3 million. The maximum guarantee obligation is not representative of the actual loss we would incur. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans for which it is providing a guarantee to MTRCC were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has recorded an allowance for loss-sharing obligations of $1,222,000 and pledged $678,000 in a restricted bank account in support of the guarantee obligation.
Material Cash Requirements
There have been no material changes in our commitments under contractual obligations, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, other than commitments that are already disclosed in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inflation
Our commissions and other variable costs related to revenue are primarily affected by real estate market supply and demand, which may be affected by uncertain or changing economic and market conditions, including inflation/deflation arising in connection with and in response to various macroeconomic factors and impact of increased interest rates on the broader economy.
The annual CPI inflation rate in the U.S. peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, the highest annual inflation rate since November 1981, then fell to 3.1% in November 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the headline CPI inflation rate trended upward to a reading of 3.5% in March 2024, but it has since been reduced to 2.4% and most economists believe that the current trend will continue. In 2022 through 2023, the Federal Reserve increased the federal funds rate to the 5.25%-5.5% range in an effort to combat inflation, which has had an adverse impact on commercial real estate transactions. The inflation volatility in the first quarter of 2024 raised questions about whether and when the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates. At the beginning of the year, there were broad expectations that the Federal Reserve would make several rate cuts in 2024, but expectations have been pared back. The significant 50 basis point reduction of the overnight rate in September was positively received by investors, boosting sentiment, but questions about the pace of future reductions remain. The volatility of the 10-year treasury rate following the Federal Reserve's overnight interest rate reduction remains a headwind for investors, but many investors have reinitiated preliminary transactional activity such as requesting broker opinions of value and touring assets as they reassess the market.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we make assumptions, estimates and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and/or judgments, however, are often subjective and our actual results may change based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We maintain a portfolio of investments in a variety of fixed and variable debt rate securities, including U.S. Treasuries, U.S. government sponsored entities, corporate debt, asset-backed securities and others. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of investments in marketable debt securities, available-for-sale was $176.3 million. The primary objective of our investment activity is to maintain the safety of principal and to provide for future liquidity requirements while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. While some investments may be securities of companies in foreign countries, all investments are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. While our intent is not to sell these investment securities prior to their stated maturities, we may choose to sell any of the securities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated capital requirements, anticipation of credit deterioration, duration management, yield management and because a security no longer meets the criteria of our investment policy. We do not use derivatives or similar instruments to manage our interest rate risk. We seek to invest in high quality investments. The weighted average credit rating of our portfolio investments (exclusive of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash) was A+ as of September 30, 2024. Maturities are maintained consistent with our short-, medium- and long-term liquidity objectives.
Currently, our portfolio of investments predominantly consists of fixed interest rate debt securities; however, a portion of our investment portfolio may consist of variable interest rate debt securities. Our investments in fixed interest rate debt securities are subject to various market risks. Changes in prevailing interest rates may adversely or positively impact their fair market value should interest rates generally rise or fall. Accordingly, we also may have interest rate risk with variable interest rate debt securities as the income produced may decrease if interest rates fall. Contraction in market liquidity may adversely affect the value of portions of our portfolio and affect our ability to sell securities in the time frames required and at acceptable prices. Uncertainty in future market conditions may raise market participant’s expectations of returns, thus impacting the value of securities in our portfolio as well. The following table sets forth the

Due to the nature of our business and the manner in which we conduct our operations, we believe we do not face any material interest rate risk with respect to other assets and liabilities, equity price risk or other market risks. The functional currency of our Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk for the settlement of transactions of the Canadian operations as well as unrealized translation adjustments. Historically foreign exchange rate risk has not been material.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f), including maintenance of (i) records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, and (ii) policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (b) our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our Board of Directors, and (c) we will prevent or timely detect unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management, with the supervision and participation of our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, based on the criteria established under the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount. Most of these litigation matters are covered by our insurance policies, which contain deductibles, exclusions, claim limits and aggregate policy limits. Such litigation and other proceedings may include, but are not limited to, actions relating to commercial relationships, standard brokerage disputes like the alleged failure to disclose physical or environmental defects or property expenses or contracts, the alleged inadequate disclosure of matters relating to the transaction like the relationships among the parties to the transaction, potential claims or losses pertaining to the asset, vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of our control, general fraud claims, conflicts of interest claims, employment law claims, including claims challenging the classification of our sales professionals as independent contractors, claims alleging violations of state consumer fraud statutes and intellectual property. While the ultimate liability for these legal proceedings cannot be determined, we review the need for an accrual for loss contingencies quarterly and record an accrual for litigation related losses where the likelihood of loss is both probable and estimable. We do not believe, based on information currently available to us, that the final outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
