Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited*)*

1. Business and Organization

RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and its consolidated subsidiaries, including RMCO, LLC (“RMCO”), are referred to hereinafter as the “Company.”

The Company is one of the world’s leading franchisors in the real estate industry, franchising real estate brokerages globally under the REMAX brand (“REMAX”) and mortgage brokerages within the United States (“U.S.”) under the Motto Mortgage brand (“Motto”). The Company also sells ancillary products and services, including loan processing services through its wemlo brand and advertisements on and lead generation services from its flagship websites www.remax.com and www.remax.ca. The Company focuses on enabling its networks’ success by providing powerful technology, quality education, and valuable marketing to build the strength of the REMAX and Motto brands.

REMAX and Motto are 100% franchised—the Company does not own any of the brokerages that operate under these brands.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024, which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the Company for the reported periods have been included. Interim results may not be indicative of full-year performance.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Please refer to that document for a fuller discussion of all significant accounting policies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying 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 disclosure of contingent liabilities 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.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates under the following reportable segments: Real Estate, Mortgage, and Marketing Funds. The Company presents all other business activities and operating segments which, due to quantitative insignificance, do not meet the quantitative significance tests for reportable segments under Other.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates most of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company’s major streams of revenue are:

  • Continuing franchise fees, which are fixed contractual fees paid monthly by REMAX or Motto franchisees or REMAX Independent Region sub-franchisors based on the number of REMAX agents or Motto open offices.
  • Annual dues, which are fees charged directly to REMAX agents.
  • Broker fees, which are fees on real estate commissions when a REMAX agent assists a consumer with buying or selling a home.
  • Marketing Funds fees, which are fixed contractual fees paid monthly by franchisees based on the number of REMAX agents or Motto open offices, which are obligated to be used for marketing campaigns to build brand awareness and to support agent and loan originator technology.
  • Franchise sales and other revenue, which consists of fees from initial sales of REMAX and Motto franchises, renewals of REMAX franchises and REMAX master franchise fees, as well as data services subscription revenue, preferred marketing arrangements, technology products and subscription revenue, events-related revenue from education and other programs, mortgage loan processing revenue, and advertising revenue.

Deferred Revenue and Commissions Related to Franchise Sales

Deferred revenue is primarily driven by Franchise sales and Annual dues, as discussed above, and is included in “Deferred revenue” and “Deferred revenue, net of current portion” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other deferred revenue is primarily related to events-related revenue. The activity consists of the following (in thousands): ​

(a) Revenue recognized related to the beginning balance for Franchise sales and Annual dues were $3.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Commissions paid on franchise sales are recognized as an asset and amortized over the contract life of the franchise agreement. The activity in the Company’s capitalized contract costs for commissions (which are included in “other current assets” and “other assets, net of current portion” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) consist of the following (in thousands):

Services Provided to the Marketing Funds by Real Estate

Real Estate charges the Marketing Funds for various services it performs or for payments it makes on behalf of the Marketing Funds to third-party vendors. These services are primarily comprised of (a) building and maintaining the remax.com and remax.ca websites and mobile apps, (b) agent and consumer-facing technology via the BoldTrail platform (refer to the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details), (c) dedicated employees focused on consumer-facing marketing initiatives, and (d) various administrative services including customer support of technology, accounting and legal.

Accounts and Notes Receivable

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had allowances against accounts and notes receivable of million and million, respectively.

Property and Equipment

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 the Company had accumulated depreciation of $16.5 million and $15.5 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was million, respectively, and million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Leases

The Company leases corporate offices, a distribution center, billboards and certain equipment. As all franchisees are independently owned and operated, there are no leases recognized for any offices used by the Company’s franchisees. All of the Company’s material leases are classified as operating leases. The Company acts as the lessor for sublease agreements on its corporate headquarters, consisting solely of operating leases.

Restructuring Charges

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company restructured its support services intended to further enhance the overall customer experience. As a result of this restructuring, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred million of severance and related expenses and accelerated certain performance-based restricted stock units and forfeited the remaining grants, resulting in an equity compensation benefit of million, which are recognized as “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). See Note 6, Accrued Liabilities, for a roll forward of the liability related to the restructuring as of June 30, 2025.

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company is exposed to foreign currency transaction gains and losses related to certain foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions, with the Canadian dollar representing the most significant exposure primarily from an intercompany Canadian loan between RMCO and the Canadian entity for RE/MAX INTEGRA (“INTEGRA”). The Company uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days to a few months, to minimize its exposures related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. As none of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges, the underlying currency positions are revalued through “Foreign currency transaction gains (losses)” on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) along with the related derivative contracts. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a net loss of million and net gain million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a net loss of million and a net gain of million, respectively.

The Company has a short-term $44.0 million Canadian dollar forward contract that matures in the third quarter of 2025 that net settles in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing spot rates at maturity.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

None.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires enhanced disclosures around disaggregation of certain income statement expense lines into specified categories. The new standard applies to public business entities and is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2024-03 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and will include all required disclosures upon adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-09 in the annual financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and for interim periods beginning in 2026. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2023-09 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and will include all required disclosures upon adoption.

3. Non-controlling Interest

Holdings is the sole managing member of RMCO and operates and controls all of the business affairs of RMCO. The ownership of the common units in RMCO is summarized as follows:

Line itemJune 30, 2025SharesJune 30, 2025Ownership %December 31, 2024SharesDecember 31, 2024Ownership %

Total common units in RMCO32,587,658100.0%31,531,035100.0%

The weighted average ownership (“WAO”) percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to calculate the “Net income (loss) attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc.” A reconciliation of “Income (loss) before provision for income taxes” to “Net income (loss) attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc.” and “Net Income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the periods indicated is detailed as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Net income (loss)

(a) The WAO percentage of RMCO differs from the percentage allocation of income (loss) before provision for income taxes between Holdings and the non-controlling interest due to certain items recorded at Holdings.

(b) The provision for income taxes attributable to Holdings is primarily comprised of U.S. federal and state income taxes on its proportionate share of the flow-through income from RMCO. It also includes Holdings’ share of taxes directly incurred by RMCO and its subsidiaries, including taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Distributions and Other Payments to Non-controlling Unitholders

Under the terms of RMCO’s limited liability company operating agreement, RMCO makes cash distributions to non-controlling unitholders on a pro-rata basis. The distributions paid to non-controlling unitholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were immaterial.

  1. Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Dividends and Repurchases

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) calculations (in thousands, except shares and per share information):

Outstanding Class B common stock does not share in the earnings of Holdings and is therefore not a participating security. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class B common stock has not been presented.

Dividends

In the fourth quarter of 2023, in light of the litigation settlement (See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies), the Company’s Board of Directors suspended the Company’s quarterly dividend and therefore dividends have been paid since.

Share Repurchases and Retirement

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2025, $62.5 million remained available under the share repurchase program.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On July 21, 2021, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) to refinance its existing facility. The revised facility provides for a seven-year $460.0 million term loan facility which matures on July 21, 2028, and a $50.0 million revolving loan facility which matures and must be repaid on July 21, 2026, if any amounts are drawn.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires the Company to repay term loans at approximately $1.2 million per quarter. The Company is also required to repay the term loans and reduce revolving commitments with (i) 100% of proceeds of any incurrence of additional debt not permitted by the Senior Secured Credit Facility, (ii) 100% of proceeds of asset sales

and 100% of amounts recovered under insurance policies, subject to certain exceptions and a reinvestment right and (iii) 50% of Excess Cash Flow (or “ECF”) as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, at the end of the applicable fiscal year if RE/MAX, LLC’s Total Leverage Ratio (or “TLR”) as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, is in excess of 4.25:1. If the Company’s TLR as of the last day of such fiscal year is equal to or less than 4.25:1 but above 3.75:1, the repayment percentage is 25% of ECF and if the Company’s TLR as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 3.75:1, no repayment from ECF is required. As of December 31, 2024, no ECF payment was required because the Company’s TLR was below 3.75:1.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens, dispositions of property, dividends, share repurchases, other distributions, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes such as mergers, consolidations, and liquidations. In general, the Company can make unlimited restricted payments – including dividends and share repurchases – if the Company’s TLR does not exceed 3.50:1 (both before and after giving effect to such payments). If the Company’s TLR exceeds 3.50:1, the Company will generally be limited in the amount of restricted payments it can make up to the greater of $50 million or 50% of RE/MAX LLC’s consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis (unless the Company relies on other restricted payment baskets available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility).

The Company calculates TLR quarterly and it is based on RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated indebtedness and consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis, both defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2025, RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, was $97.0 million and as of June 30, 2025, the Company’s TLR was :1.

With certain exceptions, any default under any of the Company’s other agreements evidencing indebtedness in the amount of $15.0 million or more constitutes an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the term loans and revolving loans accrue interest, at the Company’s option on (a) the adjusted forward-looking term rate based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), provided the Adjusted Term SOFR shall be no less than 0.50% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% or (b) the greatest of (i) the prime rate as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) plus 0.50% and (iii) the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, (such greatest rate, the “ABR”), provided the ABR shall be no less than 1.50%, plus in each case, an applicable margin of 1.50%. As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate on the term loan facility was 6.9%.

If any amounts are drawn on the $50 million revolving line of credit as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the terms of the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility require the Company’s TLR to not exceed 4.50:1 as of the last day of four consecutive fiscal quarters. As a result, as long as the Company’s TLR remains below 4.50:1, access to borrowings under the revolving line of credit will not be restricted. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum (subject to reductions) accrues on the amount of unutilized revolving line of credit regardless of the Company’s TLR. As of the date of this report, no amounts were drawn on the revolving line of credit.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering assumptions, the Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which is described in detail in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

A summary of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows (in thousands):

Line itemAs of June 30, 2025Fair ValueAs of June 30, 2025Level 1As of June 30, 2025Level 2As of June 30, 2025Level 3As of December 31, 2024Fair ValueAs of December 31, 2024Level 1As of December 31, 2024Level 2As of December 31, 2024Level 3
Liabilities - Contingent consideration (a)$1,400$1,400$2,175$2,175

(a) Recorded as a component of “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities, net of current portion” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is required to pay additional purchase consideration totaling % of gross receipts collected by Motto each year (the “Revenue Share Year”) through September 30, 2026. The annual payment is due within 120 days of the end of each Revenue Share Year. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration represents the forecasted discounted cash payments that the Company expects to pay. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent purchase consideration can result from changes in discount rates as well as the timing and amount of forecasted revenues. The forecasted revenue growth assumption that is most sensitive is the assumed franchise sales count for which the forecast assumes between 25-40 franchises sold annually. This assumption is based on historical sales and an assumption of growth over time. A 10% reduction in the number of franchise sales and a % change to the discount rate applied to the forecast would not change the liability materially. The Company measures these liabilities each reporting period and recognizes changes in fair value, if any, in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

9. Income Taxes


The “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) is based on an estimate of the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate and discrete items recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Valuation Allowance

The Company evaluated the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets and determined that in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the objective negative evidence of a three-year cumulative pre-tax net loss, primarily due to the settlement of certain Nationwide Claims, as defined in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, prevented the use of the Company’s subjective positive evidence of expected future profitability in evaluating the realizability of its net deferred tax assets. As a result, a full valuation allowance was established against the Company’s deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2025, the Company expects to remain in a three-year cumulative loss and has recorded a decrease in the valuation allowance of million against its U.S. net deferred tax assets.

Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”)

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s total liability under the TRAs for the tax year ending December 31, 2024 is $0.8 million. This liability is expected to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had uncertain tax positions.

10. Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation expense under the Holdings 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”) as well as the Holdings 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2023 Incentive Plan” and, together with the 2013 Incentive Plan, the “Incentive Plans”), is as follows (in thousands):

Line itemThree Months EndedJune 30, 2025Three Months EndedJune 30, 2024Six Months EndedJune 30, 2025Six Months EndedJune 30, 2024

Expense from bonus to be settled in shares (c)2191,0181,2292,399
Equity-based compensation expense

(a) Includes $0.7 million and $1.1 million of expense recognized for time-based and performance-based awards for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for inducement awards granted to the Company's CEO, Erik Carlson, in the fourth quarter of 2023. These equity awards were made pursuant to the inducement award exception under the New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08 and were not granted from the 2023 Incentive Plan. The expense recognized for time-based and performance-based awards for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were immaterial. As of June 30, 2025, 709,681 restricted stock units remain outstanding assuming maximum achievement of the performance awards.

(b) Expense recognized for performance-based awards is re-assessed each quarter based on expectations of achievement against the performance conditions.

(c) A portion of the annual corporate bonus earned is to be settled in shares. These amounts are recognized as “Accrued liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not included in “Additional paid-in capital” until the shares are issued.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

A number of putative class action complaints were filed against the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”), Anywhere Real Estate, Inc. (formerly Realogy Holdings Corp.), HomeServices of America, Inc. (“HSA”), RE/MAX, LLC and Keller Williams Realty, Inc (“Keller Williams”). The first was filed on March 6, 2019, by plaintiff Christopher Moehrl in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Moehrl Action”). Similar actions have been filed in various federal courts. The complaints make substantially similar allegations and seek substantially similar relief. For convenience, all of these lawsuits are collectively referred to as the “Moehrl-related antitrust litigations.” In the Moehrl Action, the plaintiffs allege that a NAR rule that requires brokers to make a blanket, non-negotiable offer of buyer broker compensation when listing a property, results in increased costs to sellers and is in violation of federal antitrust law. They further allege that certain defendants use their agreements with franchisees to require adherence to the NAR rule also in violation of federal antitrust law. Amended complaints added allegations regarding buyer steering and non-disclosure of buyer-broker compensation to buyers. While similar to the Moehrl Action, the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations also allege state antitrust violations and claims against a multiple listing service (“MLS”) defendant rather than NAR. Numerous other copycat lawsuits to the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations have also been filed. Refer to Item 8, Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

In 2023, RE/MAX, LLC entered into a settlement agreement, agreeing to make certain changes to its business practices and to pay a total settlement amount of $55.0 million (“U.S Settlement Amount”) to resolve all claims set forth in the Moehrl Action and Burnett action (another Moehrl-related antitrust litigation claiming similar allegations), as well as all similar claims on a nationwide basis against RE/MAX, LLC (collectively, the “Nationwide Claims”). The settlement also releases RE/MAX, LLC and the Company, their subsidiaries and affiliates, and RE/MAX sub-franchisors, franchisees and their sales associates in the United States from the Nationwide Claims. The Company recorded the U.S. Settlement Amount to “Settlement and impairment charges” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) with a corresponding liability recorded to “Accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Until the conclusion of the appeals process, the U.S. Settlement Amount that has been paid into the U.S. Settlement Fund is included in “Restricted cash” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On November 20, 2023, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement and on May 9, 2024 the court granted final approval. Appeals were subsequently filed, including by one of the Batton plaintiffs (see additional disclosure below related to the Batton Action). The settlement agreement will become effective if the order approving the settlement agreement is affirmed at the conclusion of the appeals process.

On April 9, 2021, a putative class action claim (the “Sunderland Action”) was filed in the Federal Court of Canada against the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (“TRREB”), The Canadian Real Estate Association (“CREA”), RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada Inc. (“RE/MAX OA”), which was acquired by the Company in July 2021, Century 21 Canada Limited Partnership, Royal Lepage Real Estate Services Ltd., and many other real estate companies (collectively the “Defendants”), by the putative representative plaintiff, Mark Sunderland (the “Plaintiff”). The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants conspired, agreed or arranged with each other and acted in furtherance of their conspiracy to fix, maintain, increase, control, raise, or stabilize the rate of real estate buyers’ brokerages’ and salespersons’ commissions in respect

of the purchase and sale of properties listed on TRREB’s multiple listing service system (the “Toronto MLS”) in violation of the Canadian Competition Act. On February 24, 2022, Plaintiff filed a Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim. With respect to RE/MAX OA, the amended claim alleges franchisor defendants aided and abetted their respective franchisee brokerages and their salespeople in violation of Section 45(1) of the Canadian Competition Act. A copycat lawsuit to the Sunderland Action was filed by plaintiff Kevin McFall (the “McFall Action”) on January 18, 2024. The complaint makes substantially similar allegations and seeks substantially similar relief as the Sunderland Action, but alleges a national class. The McFall Action and the Sunderland Action are collectively referred to as the “Canadian antitrust litigations.”

On April 29, 2025, RE/MAX OA and plaintiffs entered into a long-form settlement agreement to resolve all claims in the Canadian antitrust litigations and release RE/MAX OA, RE/MAX, LLC and its other subsidiaries and affiliates, and REMAX sub-franchisors, franchisees and their sales associates in Canada from the Canadian antitrust litigations. Under the settlement, RE/MAX OA paid a total settlement amount of $7.8 million Canadian dollars (the “Canadian Settlement Amount”) into a third-party interest-bearing account in the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Canadian Settlement Amount of $5.7 million in U.S. dollars, translated at the balance sheet date, is included in “Restricted cash” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, RE/MAX OA agreed to make certain changes to its business practices similar to those agreed to in the U.S. settlement agreement. The settlement agreement requires court approval. Any actions taken to carry out the settlement agreement are not an admission or concession of liability, or of the validity of any claim, defense, or point of fact or law on the part of the Company. The Company continues to deny the material allegations of the Canadian antitrust litigations. The Company entered into the settlement agreement after considering the risks and costs of continuing the litigation.

On January 25, 2021, a similar action to the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations was filed in the Northern District of Illinois (the “Batton Action”) alleging violations of federal antitrust law and unjust enrichment. The complaint makes substantially similar allegations and seeks similar relief as the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations but alleges harm to homebuyers rather than home sellers. The Company’s motion to dismiss was granted on May 2, 2022, and the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding state antitrust and consumer protection claims. On February 20, 2024, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ claim seeking injunctive relief for violations of the Sherman Act and dismissed certain state law claims in Tennessee and Kansas. The court denied the remainder of the Company’s motion to dismiss. On April 15, 2024, the Company filed its answer and motion to dismiss. The Company’s motion to dismiss was denied on November 22, 2024.

The Company intends to vigorously defend against all remaining claims, including appeals. If the final approval of the U.S. settlement agreement is not upheld on appeal, or the settlement agreement in the Canadian antitrust litigations is not approved by the court, the Company may become involved in additional litigation or other legal proceedings concerning the same or similar claims. As a result, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the financial impact of the litigation beyond what has been accrued for pursuant to the terms of the U.S. settlement agreement and the Canadian Settlement Amount, and the Company cannot predict, beyond the U.S. Settlement Amount and the Canadian Settlement Amount, whether resolution of these matters would have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On August 22, 2024, plaintiff Homie Technology, Inc. (“Homie”) filed suit against the National Association of Realtors, Anywhere Real Estate, Inc., Keller Williams Realty, Inc., HomeServices of America, Inc., HSF Affiliates, LLC, RE/MAX, LLC, and Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. The lawsuit alleges certain NAR rules, many of which are at issue in the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations, created a barrier to entry for Homie as a competitor, and that other defendants agreed and/or conspired to implement these rules and engaged in conduct that foreclosed Homie from competing. The complaint alleges federal and state antitrust claims and tortious interference. The plaintiff seeks injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of damages. RE/MAX, LLC filed a motion to dismiss on October 18, 2024. On July 15, 2025, the court dismissed the lawsuit and Homie’s claims.

12. Segment Information

The Company operates under the following reportable segments: Real Estate, Mortgage, and Marketing Funds. Mortgage does not meet the quantitative significance test; however, management has chosen to report results for the segment as it believes it will be a key driver of future success for Holdings. The Company presents all other business activities and operating segments that do not meet the quantitative significance tests for reportable segments under Other. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates operating results of its segments based upon forecast or budget operating results against actual operating results, including revenue, operating expenses and adjusted earnings before interest, the provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Except for the adjustments identified below in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA, the accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” “project,” “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “would” and other similar words and expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends that are not statements of historical matters. Forward-looking statements include statements related to: agent count; franchise sales; Motto open offices; our business model; cost structure; balance sheet; revenue; operating expenses; financial outlook; return of capital, including dividends and our share repurchase program; non-GAAP financial measures; assets and liabilities held for sale; uncertain tax positions; fee waivers; housing and mortgage market conditions and trends; economic and demographic trends; competition; the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives; our anticipated sources and uses of liquidity including for potential acquisitions; capital expenditures; future litigation expenses, including antitrust litigations; our credit agreement including total leverage ratio and any future excess cash flow payments; our strategic and operating plans and business models including our efforts to accelerate the growth of our businesses; the long-term benefits of our strategic growth initiatives including mitigation of economic downturns; and strategic investments in the Mortgage business.

Business Overview

We are one of the world’s leading franchisors in the real estate industry. We franchise real estate brokerages globally under the REMAX brand (“REMAX”) and mortgage brokerages in the U.S. under the Motto Mortgage brand (“Motto”). We also sell ancillary products and services, including loan processing services through our wemlo brand and advertisements on and lead generation services from our flagship websites www.remax.com and www.remax.ca. REMAX and Motto are 100% franchised—we do not own any of the brokerages that operate under these brands. We focus on enabling our networks’ success by providing powerful technology, quality education, and valuable marketing to build the strength of the REMAX and Motto brands. We support our franchisees in growing their brokerages, although they fund the associated cost of development. As a result, we maintain a relatively low fixed-cost structure which, combined with our primarily recurring fee-based models, enables us to capitalize on the economic benefits of the franchising model, yielding high margins and significant cash flow.

(a) Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance that differs from the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is calculated directly from our condensed consolidated financial statements as Total revenue less Marketing Funds fees. (b) We define organic revenue growth as revenue growth from continuing operations excluding Marketing Funds, revenue attributable to acquisitions, and foreign currency movements. We define revenue from acquisitions as the incremental revenue generated from the date of an acquisition to its first anniversary (excluding Marketing Funds revenue related to acquisitions where applicable). (c) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures of financial performance that differ from U.S. GAAP. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and a reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss), which is the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure for operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

​ During the second quarter of 2025, our global agent network grew to a record high with over 147,000 agents worldwide. We also saw signs of stabilization in our U.S. agent count for the first time since 2022 and relatively flat agent count activity in Canada. This performance occurred despite ongoing economic uncertainties and difficult housing and mortgage market conditions in the U.S. and Canada, including persistently high mortgage rates that are stretching affordability. In addition, proposed and enacted changes in legislation and regulation, including tariffs and other trade policies, have contributed to continued uncertainty in the global economy. These factors have led to declines in the number of U.S. REMAX agents, open Motto offices, and total revenue.

We continue to focus on growth initiatives to elevate and expand the value proposition for our affiliates that are designed to empower them to win more business, save time and build more profitable businesses. On April 2, 2025, we launched the AspireSM program, a performance-based financial model designed to help brokerages attract and develop new-to-REMAX agents and immediately connect them to resources that can help elevate their productivity and enable them to begin building a thriving REMAX career. Aspire was created leveraging feedback from our voice of customer program to enhance franchisee recruiting efforts by providing more assistance in onboarding and sharing more of the economic risk in recruiting newer agents. During an Aspire agent’s first year with REMAX, a franchisee only pays REMAX 5% of their gross commission income (paid after each closing) up to an annual maximum of $5,000, a $25 per-transaction fee and the standard $410 annual dues. The Aspire program economic model differs from our existing model as it does not contain fixed monthly Continuing franchise fees and Marketing Funds fees and has a cap on the revenue tied to the agent's earned gross commission income. For offices who have agent’s participating in Aspire (or any cap program), Broker fees are estimated and recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over a one year period.

Continuing Franchise Fees

Revenue from Continuing franchise fees decreased primarily due to a reduction in U.S. agent count.

Broker Fees

Revenue from Broker fees decreased primarily due to a reduction in U.S. agent count, partially offset by an increase in average home sales prices in the U.S. as well as the impact of recognizing Broker fees ratably in the U.S. and Canada for capped programs like Aspire.

Marketing Funds Fees and Marketing Funds Expenses

Revenue from Marketing Funds fees decreased primarily due to a reduction in U.S. agent count. We recognize an equal and offsetting amount of expenses to revenue such that there is no impact to our overall profitability.

Franchise Sales and Other Revenue

Franchise sales and other revenue decreased primarily due to a reduction in revenue from previous acquisitions (excluding Independent Region acquisitions) and lower Franchise sales revenue, partially offset by higher advertising revenue on our flagship websites.

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds decreased due to a decline in organic revenue of 5.7% and adverse foreign currency movements of 1.1%. The decline in organic revenue was driven by a decrease in U.S. agent count, lower revenue from Broker fees, and a reduction in revenue from previous acquisitions (excluding Independent Region

acquisitions).

Total Selling, operating and administrative expenses decreased as follows:

  • Personnel expenses decreased primarily due to an increase in costs charged to the Marketing Funds, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information. Also contributing to the decrease was lower employee compensation and benefit related costs and equity-based compensation expense. The decrease in personnel expenses was partially offset by higher severance expenses from a restructuring in the current quarter, further disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
  • Professional fees increased primarily due to investments in our flagship websites.
  • Other selling, operating and administrative expenses decreased due to a reduction in other events, commissions paid on REMAX franchise sales, and changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability slightly offset by an increase in property taxes.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to lower franchise agreements amortization expense from prior years Independent Region acquisitions and from previous acquisitions (excluding Independent Region acquisitions) becoming fully amortized.

Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) are primarily the result of transactions denominated in the Canadian Dollar and the Canadian dollar has weakened in comparison to the U.S dollar between the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, and the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

The comparison of effective income tax rates (“EITR”) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, is not meaningful. In the second quarter of both 2025 and 2024, the EITR was primarily impacted by foreign taxes on overseas income and valuation allowances related to U.S. foreign tax credits.

In addition, our EITR depends on many factors, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the portion of RMCO’s earnings allocated to the non-controlling interests are not subject to corporate-level taxes because RMCO is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is treated as a flow-through entity, as well as annual changes in state tax rates and foreign income tax expense. See Note 3, Non-controlling Interest to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on the allocation of income taxes between Holdings and the non-controlling interest and see Note 9, Income Taxes for additional information.

Adjusted EBITDA

See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and for further discussion of our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which is the most comparable GAAP measure for operating performance. ​

Adjusted EBITDA was $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.8 million from the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to declines in U.S. agent count, Broker fees, revenue from previous acquisitions (excluding Independent Region acquisitions), and Franchise sales revenue, and an increase in property tax expense offset by certain lower personnel-related expenses.

The decrease was slightly offset by an increase in bad debt expense and property taxes.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to lower franchise agreements amortization expense from prior years Independent Region acquisitions and from previous acquisitions (excluding Independent Region acquisitions) becoming fully amortized.

Settlement Charge

In the first quarter of 2025, we settled an immaterial legal matter, which is expected to be paid out over twelve months beginning in the second quarter of 2025. As a result, we recorded this to “Settlement and impairment charges” within the

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) with a corresponding liability recorded to “Accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Provision for Income Taxes

The comparison of effective income tax rates (“EITR”) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, is not meaningful. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the EITR was primarily impacted by foreign taxes on overseas income and valuation allowances related to U.S. foreign tax credits.

In addition, our EITR depends on many factors, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the portion of RMCO’s earnings allocated to the non-controlling interests are not subject to corporate-level taxes because RMCO is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is treated as a flow-through entity, as well as annual changes in state tax rates and foreign income tax expense. See Note 3, Non-controlling Interest to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on the allocation of income taxes between Holdings and the non-controlling interest and see Note 9, Income Taxes for additional information.

Adjusted EBITDA

See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and for further discussion of our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which is the most comparable GAAP measure for operating performance. ​

Adjusted EBITDA was $45.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.5 million from the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to declines in U.S. agent count, lower revenue from previous acquisitions (excluding Independent Region acquisitions), Franchise sales revenue, and an increase in bad debt expense partially offset by lower personnel and events-related expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC and in public disclosures of financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds and Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto. These measures are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance that differs from U.S. GAAP, and we believe that exclusion of the Marketing Funds is a useful supplemental measure as we recognize an equal and offsetting amount of expenses to revenue such that there is no impact to our overall profitability. Revenue excluding the

Marketing Funds is calculated directly from our condensed consolidated financial statements as Total revenue less Marketing Funds fees.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and the provision for income taxes, each of which is presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance: gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, gains or losses from changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income related to changes in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items.

As Adjusted EBITDA omits certain non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges or other items, we believe that it is less susceptible to variances that affect our operating performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items. We present Adjusted EBITDA, and the related Adjusted EBITDA margin, because we believe they are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as factors in evaluating the performance of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • these measures do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
  • these measures do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
  • these measures do not reflect the cash requirements to pay dividends to stockholders of our Class A common stock and tax and other cash distributions to our non-controlling unitholders;
  • these measures do not reflect the cash requirements pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”);
  • these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for share repurchases;
  • these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for the settlements of certain industry class-action lawsuits and other legal settlements;
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • although equity-based compensation is a non-cash charge, the issuance of equity-based awards may have a dilutive impact on earnings per share; and
  • other companies may calculate these measures differently, so similarly named measures may not be comparable.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is set forth in the following table (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview of Factors Affecting Our Liquidity

Our liquidity position is primarily affected by the change in our agent and franchise base and conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets. In this regard, our short-term liquidity position from time to time has been, and will continue to be, affected by several factors including agents in the REMAX network, particularly in Company-Owned Regions. Our cash flows are primarily related to the timing of:

(i) cash receipt of revenues;

(ii) payment of selling, operating and administrative expenses;

(iii) investments in our Real Estate and Mortgage segments;

(iv) cash consideration for acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses;

(v) principal payments, including any early principal payments, and related interest payments on our Senior Secured Credit Facility;

(vi) corporate tax payments paid by the Company

(vii) payments to the TRA parties pursuant to the TRAs;

(viii) the settlements of certain industry class-action lawsuits and other legal settlements;

(ix) distributions and other payments to non-controlling unitholders pursuant to the terms of RMCO’s limited liability company operating agreement (“the RMCO, LLC Agreement”);

(x) dividend payments to stockholders of our Class A common stock; and

(xi) share repurchases.

We have satisfied these needs primarily through our existing cash balances, cash generated by our operations and funds available under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. We may pursue other sources of capital that may include other forms of external financing, such as additional financing in the public capital markets, in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility as needs arise.

Financing Resources

RMCO and RE/MAX, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RMCO, have a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), which was amended and restated on July 21, 2021 to refinance our existing facility. The revised facility provides for a seven-year $460.0 million term loan facility and a five-year $50.0 million revolving loan facility. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for incremental facilities under which RE/MAX, LLC may request to add one or more tranches of term facilities or increase any then existing credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million (or a higher amount subject to the terms and conditions of the Senior Secured Credit Facility), subject to lender participation.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by RMCO and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of RE/MAX, LLC and other operating companies.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires us to repay term loans at approximately $1.2 million per quarter. We are also required to repay the term loans and reduce revolving commitments with (i) 100% of proceeds of any incurrence of additional debt not permitted by the Senior Secured Credit Facility, (ii) 100% of proceeds of asset sales and 100% of amounts recovered under insurance policies, subject to certain exceptions and a reinvestment right and (iii) 50% of Excess Cash Flow (or “ECF”) as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, at the end of the applicable fiscal year if RE/MAX, LLC’s Total Leverage Ratio (or “TLR”) as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, is in excess of 4.25:1. If the TLR as of the last day of such fiscal year is equal to or less than 4.25:1 but above 3.75:1, the repayment percentage is 25% of ECF and if our TLR as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 3.75:1, no repayment from ECF is required. As of December 31, 2024, no ECF payment was required because the TLR was below 3.75:1.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens, dispositions of property, dividends, share repurchases, other distributions, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes such as mergers, consolidations, and liquidations. In general, we can make unlimited restricted payments – including dividends and share repurchases – if the TLR does not exceed 3.50:1 (both before and after giving effect to such payments). If the TLR exceeds 3.50:1, we are generally limited in the amount of restricted payments we can make up to the greater of $50 million or 50% of RE/MAX LLC’s consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis (unless we rely on other restricted payment baskets available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility).

We calculate the TLR quarterly and it is based on RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated indebtedness and consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis, both defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2025, RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, was $97.0 million and as of June 30, 2025, the TLR was 3.58:1.

With certain exceptions, any default under any of our other agreements evidencing indebtedness in the amount of $15.0 million or more constitutes an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the term loans and revolving loans accrue interest, at our option on (a) the adjusted forward-looking term rate based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), provided the Adjusted Term SOFR shall be no less than 0.50% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% or (b) the greatest of (i) the prime rate as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) plus 0.50% and (iii) the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, (such greatest rate, the “ABR”), provided the ABR shall be no less than 1.50%, plus in each case, an applicable margin of 1.50%. As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate on the term loan facility was 6.9%.

If any amounts are drawn on the $50 million revolving line of credit as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility require the TLR to not exceed 4.50:1 as of the last day of four consecutive fiscal quarters. As a result, as long as the TLR remains below 4.50:1, access to borrowings under the revolving line of credit will not be restricted. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum (subject to reductions) accrues on the amount of unutilized revolving line of credit regardless of our TLR. As of the date of this report, no amounts were drawn on the revolving line of credit.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $441.6 million of term loans outstanding and no revolving loans outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Sources and Uses of Cash

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $94.3 million and $96.6 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $27.1 million and $19.7 million, respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies.

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities (in thousands):

Line itemSix Months EndedJune 30, 2025Six Months EndedJune 30, 2024
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities$10,213$25,266
Investing activities(3,307)(4,093)
Financing activities(7,794)(5,387)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash1,393(875)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$505$14,911


Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to higher spend in the Marketing Funds, higher payments of certain employee-related liabilities, a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, and timing differences on various operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by lower interest payments.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the change in cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of lower spend on leased buildings other than our corporate headquarters compared to the prior year.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the change in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher tax withholding payments for share-based compensation and an increase in contingent consideration payments.

Capital Allocation Priorities

Liquidity

Our objective is to maintain a strong liquidity position. We have existing cash balances, cash flows from operating activities, and incremental facilities under our Senior Secured Credit Facility available to support the needs of our business. As needs arise, we may seek additional financing in the public capital markets.

Acquisitions

As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of REMAX Independent Regions in the U.S. and Canada as well as additional acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, services and technologies that would provide access to new markets, revenue streams, or otherwise complement our existing operations. We may fund any such growth with various sources of capital including existing cash balances and cash flow from operations, as well as proceeds from debt financings including under existing credit facilities or new arrangements.

Capital Expenditures

The total aggregate amount for purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of developed software was $3.3 million and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts primarily relate to investments in technology and spend on leased buildings other than our corporate headquarters. We plan to continue to re-invest in our business in order to improve operational efficiencies and enhance the tools and services provided to the affiliates in our networks. Total capital expenditures for 2025 are expected to be between $6.5 million and $7.5 million. See Financial and Operational Highlights above for additional information.

Return of Capital

In the fourth quarter of 2023, our Board of Directors suspended our quarterly dividend. In light of the litigation settlement and ongoing challenging housing and mortgage market conditions (as further discussed in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies), we continue to believe this action to preserve our capital is prudent. Our Board of Directors did not approve any quarterly cash dividends in the first two quarters of 2025 and 2024.

Our Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any amount of common stock and does not have an expiration date. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of our Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2025, $62.5 million remained available under the share repurchase authorization.

Future capital allocation decisions with respect to return of capital either in the form of additional future dividends, and if declared, the amount, payment and timing of any such future dividend, or in the form of share buybacks, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors who will take into account general economic, housing and mortgage market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, available cash, current and anticipated cash needs, any applicable restrictions pursuant to the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility and any other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.

Distributions and Other Payments to Non-controlling Unitholders by RMCO

Distributions and other payments paid to non-controlling unitholders pursuant to the RMCO, LLC Agreement were immaterial for the three and six months ended 2025 and 2024. Payments pursuant to the TRAs were $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for which there were no material changes, included:

  • Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions
  • Deferred Tax Assets and TRA Liability

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

We have operations within the U.S., Canada, and globally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate, foreign exchange and credit risks, as well as risks relating to changes in the general economic conditions in the countries where we conduct business. We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of certain of our market risk exposures. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk related to receivables from franchisees. We perform quarterly reviews of credit exposure above an established threshold for each franchisee and are in regular communication with those franchisees about their balance. For significant delinquencies, we will terminate the franchise. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, bad debt expense was 1.3% and 1.0% of revenue, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility which bear interest at variable rates. On June 30, 2025, $441.6 million in term loans were outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. We currently do not engage in any interest rate hedging activity, but given our variable rate borrowings, we monitor interest rates and if appropriate, may engage in hedging activity prospectively. Up until and prior to September 30, 2023, the interest rate on our Senior Secured Credit Facility was based on LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. We transitioned from LIBOR to Adjusted Term SOFR during the third quarter of 2023 and borrowings under the term loans and revolving loans accrue interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR, beginning on July 31, 2023, subject to the same floor of 0.50%, plus the same applicable margin of 2.50%.

As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate was 6.9%. If our rate is above the floor, then each hypothetical 0.25% increase would result in additional annual interest expense of $1.1 million. To mitigate a portion of this risk, we invest our cash balances in short-term investments that earn interest at variable rates.

Currency Risk

We have a network of global franchisees in over 110 countries and territories. Fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies can result, and have resulted, in fluctuations in (a) revenue and operating income (loss) due to a portion of our revenue being denominated in foreign currencies and (b) foreign exchange transaction gains and losses due primarily to cash, accounts receivable and liability balances denominated in foreign currencies, with the Canadian dollar representing the most significant exposure. To mitigate a portion of this risk related to (b), we enter into short-term foreign currency forwards, to minimize exposures related to foreign currency. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for more information. In addition, we actively convert cash balances into U.S. dollars to mitigate currency risk on cash positions.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, a hypothetical 5% strengthening/weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar would have resulted in a decrease/increase to operating income (loss) of approximately $0.4 and $0.8 million, respectively, related to currency risk (a) above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2025 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 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

From time to time, we are involved in litigation, claims and other proceedings relating to the conduct of our business, and the disclosures set forth in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies relating to certain legal matters is incorporated herein by reference. Such litigation and other proceedings may include, but are not limited to, actions relating to intellectual property, commercial arrangements, franchising arrangements, brokerage disputes, vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of our control including franchisees and independent agents, and employment law claims. Litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Often these cases raise complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to risks and uncertainties and which could require significant time and resources from management. Although we do not believe any currently pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operations, there are inherent uncertainties in litigation and other claims and regulatory proceedings and such pending matters could result in unexpected expenses and liabilities and might materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operations, including our reputation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, please see “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Our Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There was no share repurchase activity during the three months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $62.5 million remains under the program.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

None.

Item 5. Other Information

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted, modified or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K.
