Description of Business Marcus & Millichap, Inc., (the “Company”, “Marcus & Millichap”, or “MMI”), a Delaware corporation, is a brokerage firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing, research and advisory services. As of June 30, 2020, MMI operates 82 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 in .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 for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2020 with the SEC. The results of the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, for other interim periods or for future years.Considerations Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic and resultant shutdown of economic activity across much of the world has led to sharp increases in unemployment, dislocations in debt and equity markets and businesses instituting cost-cutting and capital-preservation measures. There has been a significant impact on commercial real estate markets in the United States and Canada that started at the end of first quarter 2020 and continued through the end of the second quarter of 2020, as many property owners and occupiers have put transactions on hold, driving significantly lower sales volumes. The Company expects the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to adversely impact its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the remainder of 2020. See Note 3 – “Property and Equipment, Net”, Note 6 – “Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, Note 10 – “Fair Value Measurements” and Note 15 – “Commitments and Contingencies” COVID-19.
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 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 and the related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including the impact
COVID-19 may have on our business. Actual results could differ from those estimates.Segment Reporting The Company follows U.S. GAAP for segment reporting, which requires reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. Substantially all of the Company’s operations involve the delivery of commercial real estate services to our customers including real estate investment sales, financing (including mortgage servicing) and consulting and advisory services. Management makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources based on an ongoing review of these integrated operations, which constitute the Company’s only operating segment for financial reporting purposes. Reclassifications Certain prior-period amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of cash flows, Note 7 – “Selected Balance Sheet Data” and Note 10 – “Fair Value Measurements” have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes had no impact on the previously reported condensed consolidated results of operations. |
