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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, MMI operates 78 offices in the United States and Canada through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, Inc. (“MMREIS”), which includes the operations of Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation (“MMCC”).

MMI was formed in June 2013 in preparation for Marcus & Millichap Company (“MMC”) tospin-off its majority owned subsidiary, MMREIS(“Spin-Off”). 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 October 30, 2013.

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 Form10-Q andArticle 10-01 ofRegulation 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, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K filed on March 16, 2018 with the SEC. The results of the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018, or for other interim periods or future years.

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.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The complete list of the Company’s accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K filed on March 16, 2018 with the SEC.

The Company generates real estate brokerage commissions by acting as a broker for real estate owners or investors seeking to buy or sell commercial properties. The Company generates financing fees from securing financing on purchase transactions as well as fees earned from refinancing its clients’ existing mortgage debt and other financing activities. Other revenues include fees generated from consulting and advisory services, as well as referral fees from other real estate brokers. The Company’s contracts contain one performance obligation related to its real estate brokerage, financing and consulting and advisory services offered to buyers and sellers of commercial real estate and provide that it is operating as a principal in all its revenue generating activities. The Company does not have multiple-element arrangements, variable consideration, financing components, significant noncash consideration, licenses, long-term contracts with customers or other items affecting the transaction price. Accordingly, the Company determined that the transaction price is ~~generally~~ fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue in principally all cases at the close of escrow for real estate brokerage, close of loan for financing and when services are provided or upon closing of the transaction for other revenues.

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recorded at fair value upon acquisition of the servicing contract. The estimated net cash flows on the contracts are discounted over the estimated life of the underlying loan. The life of the underlying loan is estimated giving consideration to the prepayment provisions in the loan. The Company’s model assumes full prepayment of the loan at or near the point where the prepayment provisions have expired. The MSRs have principally similar risk characteristics.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of MSRs are based on internal models and are periodically compared to assumptions used by other market participants. Due to the relatively few transactions in the MSR market, we have experienced little volatility in the assumptions we use during the periods presented. Additionally, we do not expect to see much volatility in the assumptions for the foreseeable future. Management actively monitors the assumptions used and makes adjustments to those assumptions when market conditions change or other factors indicate such adjustments are warranted. We carry MSRs at the lower of the amortized cost or fair value and evaluate the carrying value for impairment quarterly. We engage a third party to assist in determining the estimated fair value of our existing MSRs quarterly.

All MSRs are amortized using the interest method over the period that servicing income is expected to be received. MSRs are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 5 – “Selected Balance Sheet Data” for additional information. Amortization related to the MSRs are included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income.

We recognize mortgage servicing revenues upon the acquisition of a servicing obligation and at the time services are rendered, provided the loans are current and the debt service payments are made by the borrowers and when new servicing rights are acquired. The Company records servicing fees when earned. MSRs and related servicing fees are recorded in financing fees in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income.

Certain costs related to the development or purchases ofinternal-use software are capitalized. Internal computer software costs that are incurred in the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. Direct consulting costs and certain payroll and related costs that are incurred during the development stage of a project are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years. Capitalized costs are recorded in the property and equipment, net caption and amortization is recorded in the depreciation and amortization caption in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Amortization begins for software that has been placed into production and is ready for its intended use. ~~Postimplementation~~Post-implementation costs such as training, maintenance and support are expensed as incurred. The Company evaluates its capitalized software costs for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, due from independent contractors (included under other assets, net current and other assetsnon-current captions), investments in marketable securities,available-for-sale, security deposits (included under other assets,non-current caption) and commissions receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with high-credit quality financial institutions and invested in high-credit quality money market funds and commercial paper. Concentrations of marketable securities,available-for-sale are limited by the approved investment policy.

To reduce its credit risk, the Company monitors the credit standing of the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. The Company historically has not experienced any significant losses related to cash and cash equivalents.

The Company derives its revenues 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 requires collateral on acase-by-case basis. The Company maintains allowances, as needed, for estimated credit losses based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of collection. For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, no transaction represented 10% or more of total revenues. Further, while one ~~or more transactions~~transaction may represent 10% or more of commissions receivable at any reporting date, amounts due are typically collected within 10 days of settlement and, therefore, do not expose the Company to significant credit risk.

During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s Canadian operations represented less than 1% of total revenues.

During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, no office represented 10% or more of total revenues.

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, under which the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. The Company recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (both specific and contingent) at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs, such as due diligence, legal and accounting fees, are not capitalized or applied in determining the fair value of the acquired assets. The excess of the purchase price over the assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with corresponding adjustments to goodwill in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. After the measurement period, which could be up to one year after the transaction date, subsequent adjustments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income.

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 currently has only one reporting unit; therefore, all goodwill is allocated to that one reporting unit.

The Company’s intangible assets primarily includenon-compete agreements and customer relationships that resulted from its business combinations. These intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis using a useful life between one and six years. The Company evaluates its intangible assets for impairment at least annually, or as events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired.

The Company follows the guidance 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 its customers including real estate investment sales, financing 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.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)~~No.~~ 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU2014-09”), which supersedes virtually all of the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP, and requires entities to recognize revenue for the transfer to a customer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU2014-09, the FASB issued ASU~~No.~~ 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, ASU~~No.~~ 2016-08,Revenue from Contacts with Customers: Principal Versus Agent Considerations, ASU~~No.~~ 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASUNo. 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts withCustomers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The additional ASU’s clarified certain provisions of ASU2014-09 in response to recommendations from the Transition Resources Group established by the FASB and extended the required adoption of ASU2014-09 which is now effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective application method.

The Company assessed the impact of the standard and determined that its contracts contain one performance obligation related to its real estate brokerage, financing and consulting and advisory services offered to buyers and sellers of commercial real estate and provide that it is operating as a principal in all of its revenue generating activities. The Company does not have multiple-element arrangements, variable consideration, financing components, significant noncash consideration, licenses, long-term contracts with customers or other items affecting the transaction price. The Company determined the transaction price is generally fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue was and will continue to be recognized in principally all cases at the close of escrow for real estate brokerage, close of loan for financing and when services are provided upon closing of the transaction for other revenues. Accordingly, the adoption of ASU2014-09, as clarified, ~~does~~did not have an effect on the manner or timing of the recognition of the Company’s revenue.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU2017-01 changed the definition of a business in an effort to assist entities with evaluating whether a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. ASU2017-01 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU2017-04 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The qualitative assessment remains optional and is unchanged. The Company prospectively adopted ASU2017-04 in the second quarter of 2018. There was no impact to the Company as the Company was not required to measure a goodwill impairment charge.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2018-02,Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU2018-02”). ASU2018-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. ASU2018-02 permits Companies that elect to make the reclassification adjustment the option to apply the guidance retrospectively or to record the reclassification as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 and elected to make the reclassification adjustment pertaining to the stranded tax effects resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period presented in the amount of $13,000.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02,Leases, to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the new standard and has begun evaluating the population of all leases and related systems and internal control considerations. The Company will be required to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019, and the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets will be impacted by the recording of a lease liability and right of use asset for virtually all of its current operating leases. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company has remaining contractual obligations for operating leases (autos and office) that aggregate approximately ~~$83.6~~$88.3 million. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount of which and the potential impact on the condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows has yet to be determined.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-13,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses(“ASU2016-13”). ASU2016-13 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. For the Company, the new standard will be effective January 1, 2020. Under ASU2016-13, the Company will be required to use an expected-loss model for its marketable securities,available-for sale, which requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as an impairment write-down.

Reversals of credit losses (in situations in which the estimate of credit losses declines) is permitted in the reporting period that the change occurs. Current U.S. GAAP prohibits reflecting reversals of credit losses in current period earnings. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company had ~~$130.4~~$117.4 million in marketable securities, available for sale which would be subject to this new standard. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, these marketable securities, available for sale have an average credit rating of AA and no impairment write-downs have been recorded. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its investment policy and investments.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2018-7,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting(“ASU2018-7”). ASU2018-7 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For the Company, the new standard will be effective during the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted and will require equity-classified share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees to be measured based on the grant date price, instead of the previous requirement to remeasure the awards through the performance completion date. All liability-classified awards that have not been settled and equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has not been established by the adoption date would be remeasured at fair value as of the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and potential implementation timing of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

During the second quarter, the Company completed two related acquisitions for approximately $6.2 million, net of cash received, plus contingent consideration which may be paid over the three-year or five-year period after the acquisitions based on achievement of certain EBITDA targets. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration was $1.7 million using a probability-weighted, discounted cash flow estimate based on achieving EBITDA targets. See Note 9 – “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information.

The acquisitions expand the Company’s network of loan originators and provides further diversification to its loan origination platform and financing services. The operations will be merged into the Company’s existing operations.

The acquisitions were accounted for as a business combination, with the results of operations included in the Company’s consolidated results from the acquisition date through June 30, 2018, which were not material. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, $2.0 million, net, was allocated to mortgage servicing assets ($2.1 million) and liabilities ($0.1 million), $1.6 million was allocated to the fair values of intangible assets, $0.1 million to acquired working capital, with the remainder of $4.2 million allocated to goodwill.

The net change in the carrying value of other intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisitions arose from the acquired assembled workforce and commercial lending platform. The Company expects all of goodwill to be tax deductible, with thetax-deductible amount of goodwill related to the contingent consideration to be determined once the cash payments to settle the contingent consideration are made. The goodwill resulting from these acquisitions is allocated to the Company’s one reporting unit.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company adjusted the contingent consideration by an immaterial amount and did not make any cash payments related to the contingent consideration.

The net change in the carrying value of MSRs consisted of the following (in thousands):

See Note 9 – “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information about MSRs.

Deferred compensation and commissions consisted of the following (in thousands):

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.~~ 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 the10-year treasury note plus 2%. The rate resets annually. The rates at January 1, 2018 and 2017 were 4.409% and 4.446%, respectively. MMI recorded interest expense related to this liability of ~~$225,000~~$224,000 and $233,000, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $449,000 and $466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Estimated payouts within the next twelve months for participants that have separated from service have been classified as current. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company made total payments (consisting of accumulated interest) of $1.5 million classified as an operating cash flow in the deferred compensation and commissions caption in the accompanying condensed consolidated ~~statements~~statement of cash flows.

Certain investment sales professionals have the ability to 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 has the ability to defer payment of certain commissions, at its election, for up to three years. Commissions payable that are not expected to be paid within twelve months are classified as long-term.

A select group of management is eligible to participate in athe Marcus & Millichap Deferred Compensation ~~Plan.~~Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). The plan is anon-qualified deferred compensation plan that is intended to comply with Section 409A ~~plan~~of the Internal Revenue Code and permits the participant to defer compensation up to limits as determined by the plan. Amounts are paid out generally when the participant is no longer a service provider; however, anin-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, ~~as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan,~~ in which case the trust assets are subject to the claims of MMI’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 have been classified as current. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company made total payments to participants of ~~$193,000.~~$387,000.

The net change in the carrying value of the assets held in the rabbi trust and the net change in the carrying value of the deferred compensation liability, each exclusive of additional contributions, distributions and trust expenses consisted of the following (in thousands):

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company considers the declines in market value of its marketable securities,available-for-sale to be temporary in nature and does not consider any of its investments other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities, and its investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The policy generally requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss and matching long-term liabilities. When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, changes in market interest rates and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. The Company has no current intent to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. The Company may sell certain of its marketable securities,available-for-sale prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated liquidity and capital requirements, anticipated credit deterioration, duration management or when a security no longer meets the criteria of the Company’s investment policy.

In conjunction with theSpin-Off and IPO, notes payable to certain former stockholders of MMREIS were issued in settlement of restricted stock and SARs awards that were redeemed by MMREIS upon the termination of employment by the former stockholders (“the Notes”). Such Notes had been previously assumed by MMC, and were transferred to the Company. The Notes are unsecured and bear interest at 5% with annual principal and interest installments with a final principal payment due during the second quarter of 2020.

During each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company made total payments on the Notes of $1.5 million, including principal and interest.

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 the value of the investment carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. The Company uses various pricing sources to 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: 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.

Investment in marketable securities,available-for-sale and assets held in the rabbi trust are carried at fair value based on observable inputs available. All these securities are measured as Levels 1 or 2 as appropriate. ~~The Company has no investments measured as Level 3.~~

The Company values its investments including assets held in rabbi trust, commercial paper, money market funds and investments in marketable securities,available-for-sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.

Assets carried at fair value are categorized into one of the three categories described above and consisted of the following (in thousands):

The Company values contingent consideration from its acquisitions at fair value on a recurring basis and is a Level 3 valuation. At June 30, 2018, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $1.7 million using a probability weighted, discounted cash flow estimate based on achieving EBITDA targets.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, from time to time, the Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include MSRs. MSRs are recorded at fair value upon initial recording and the Company has elected the amortization method for the subsequent measurement of MSRs. The Company’s MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. The estimated fair value of the Company’s MSRs, which are considered Level 3, were developed using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model considers contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service, and other economic factors. The Company periodically reassesses and adjusts, when necessary, the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model to reflect observable market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing an MSR asset. MSRs are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The fair value of the MSRs approximated the carrying value at June 30, 2018.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were ~~38,578,834~~38,621,712 and 38,374,011 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, issued and outstanding, which includes unvested restricted stock awards issued tonon-employee directors, respectively.

The board of directors adopted the 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”), which became effective upon the Company’s IPO. In February 2017, the board of directors ~~approved an amendment to~~amended and restated the 2013 Plan, which was approved by the shareholders in May 2017. Grants are made from time to time by the Company’s board of directors at its discretion subject to certain restrictions as to the number and value of shares that may be granted to any individual. Upon adoption of the 2013 Plan, 5,500,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for the issuance of awards. Pursuant to the automatic increases previously provided for in the 2013 Plan, the board of directors approved share reserve increases aggregating 3,300,000. Pursuant to the amendment toand restatement of the 2013 Plan referenced above, the automatic share increase provision was removed. ~~At March 31,~~As of June 30, 2018, there were ~~5,502,845~~5,472,696 shares available for future grants under the Plan.

Under the 2013 Plan, the Company has issued restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) tonon-employee directors and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and independent contractors. RSAs vest in equal annual installments over aone-year or three-year period from the date of grant. All RSUs vest in equal annual installments over a five-year period from the date of grant. Any unvested awards are canceled upon termination ~~of service.~~as a service provider. Awards accelerate upon death subject to approval by the compensation committee. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, there were no issued or outstanding options, SARs, performance units or performance shares ~~awards.~~awards under the 2013 Plan.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, ~~258,930~~274,740 shares of RSUs vested of which ~~252,930~~274,740 shares of common stock were delivered and ~~48,107~~52,919 shares of common stock were 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 2013 Plan.

In 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP Plan”). The ESPP Plan qualifies under Section 423 of the IRS Code and provides for consecutive,non-overlapping6-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 10% discount based on the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of the offering period, subject to IRS limitations. The Company determined that the ESPP Plan was a compensatory plan and is required to expense the fair value of the awards over each6-month offering period.

The ESPP Plan initially had 366,667 shares of common stock reserved and 233,867 and 246,895 shares of common stock remain available for issuance for each of the periods at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The ESPP Plan provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP, equal to the least of (i) 366,667 shares, (ii) 1% of the outstanding shares on such date, or (iii) an amount determined by the board. Pursuant to the provisions of the ESPP Plan, the board of directors determined a share reserve increase was not required in the prior years. ~~At March 31,~~As of June 30, 2018, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP Plan was ~~$19,000~~$55,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~0.12~~0.38 years.

In connection with the IPO, the ~~formula settlement value~~Company entered into sales restriction agreements with certain of its executive officers. The sale restriction agreements provided for vesting acceleration as to all outstanding shares of ~~stock~~restricted shares held by the ~~plan participants was removed,~~executive officers and ~~all~~termination of certain existingBuy-Sell Agreements entered into between the Company and such ~~shares~~executive officers prior to the IPO in exchange for the executive officers’ agreement to limit their ability to sell, transfer, hypothecate, encumber, or in any way alienate any of ~~stock are subject to~~their shares. Such sales restrictions ~~that~~ lapse at a rate of 20% per year for five years if the participant remains employed by the Company. In the event of death or termination of employment after reaching the age of 67, 100% of the shares of stock will be released from the resale restriction. Further, 100% of the shares of stock will be released from the resale restriction upon the consummation of a change of control of the Company. Of the original 3,689,326 shares subject to resale restriction, 732,020 shares remain subject to sales restriction at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018.

Prior to the IPO, certain employees were granted SARs. As of March 31, 2013, the outstanding SARs were frozen at the liability amount, and will be paid out to each participant in installments upon retirement or departure under the terms of the revised SARs agreements. To replace beneficial ownership in the SARs, the difference between the book value liability and the fair value of the awards was granted to plan participants in the form of DSUs, which were fully vested upon receipt and will be settled in actual stock at a rate of 20% per year if the participant remains employed by the Company during that period (otherwise all unsettled shares of stock upon termination from service will be settled five years from the termination date, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company). In the event of death or termination of service after reaching the age of 67, 100% of the DSUs will be settled.

On December 22, 2017, the Act was enacted, which significantly changed the U.S. corporate income tax laws by, among other items, reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% starting in 2018, ~~further limiting~~eliminating certain exceptions to Section 162(m) ~~deductions~~of the Internal Revenue Code and expanding the employees, companies and types of compensation covered by Section 162(m), and creating a territorial tax system with aone-time mandatory tax on previously deferred foreign earnings of U.S. subsidiaries. As a result of the Act, the Company revalued its deferred taxes, net due to the changes in the U.S. corporate statutory federal income tax rate and recorded a net charge of $11.6 million in the provision for income taxes during the fourth quarter of 2017. Although the Company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act is incomplete, it was determined that the $11.6 million charge is a reasonable estimate of those effects. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, this amount continues to be our best estimate of the impact of the Act in accordance with our understanding of the Act and the related guidance available.When the IRS issues additional guidance and regulations enabling the Company to finalize certain tax positions, the Company will be able to conclude whether any further adjustments are required to be made to its deferred tax assets, net balance as of December 31, 2017. Any adjustments to this provisional amount will be reported no later than the fourth quarter of 2018, as a component of the provision for income taxes in the reporting period in which any such adjustments are determined.

On June 18, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Bank”), dated as of June 1, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $60.0 million principal amount senior secured revolving credit facility that is guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Facility”), which, as amended, matures on June 1, 2020. 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 Agreement are available for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Credit Facility includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit of which $533,000 was utilized at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the (i) Base Rate (defined as the highest of (a) the Bank’s prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5% and(c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.5%), or (ii) at a variable rate between 0.875% and 1.125% above LIBOR, based upon the total funded debt to EBITDA ratio. In connection with executing the Credit Agreement, as amended 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 0.1% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the amount of unutilized commitments under the Credit Facility. The amortization and commitment fee is included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income and was $26,000 and ~~$27,000~~$28,000 during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $52,000 and $55,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of ~~March~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2017, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including financial and other covenant reporting requirements and events of default. Financial covenants require the Company, on a combined basis with its guarantors, to maintain (i) an EBITDAR Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25:1.0 as of each quarter end and (ii) total funded debt to EBITDA not greater than 2.0:1.0 as of each quarter end both on a rolling4-quarter basis. 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). As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all financial andnon-financial covenants.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount. Most of these litigation matters are covered by insurance, which contain deductibles, exclusions, claim limits and aggregate policy limits. While the ultimate liability for these legal proceeding cannot be determined, the Company reviews the need for its accrual for loss contingencies quarterly and records an accrual for litigation related losses where the likelihood of loss is both probable and estimable. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of the legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The Company accrues legal fees for litigation as the legal services are provided.

In connection with certain agreements with investment sales and financing professionals, the Company may agree to advance amounts to its investment sales and financing professionals upon reaching certain performance goals. Such commitments as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 aggregated ~~$1.4~~$1.5 million.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the words “Marcus & Millichap,” “we,” the “Company,” “us” and “our” refer to Marcus & Millichap, Inc., Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, Inc. and its other consolidated subsidiaries.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. The results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018, or for any other future period. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Form10-Q and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2018, including the “Risk Factors” section and the consolidated financial statements and notes included therein.

We are a leading national brokerage firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing, 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 over the last 10 years.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we had ~~1,769~~1,841 investment sales and financing professionals that are primarily exclusive independent contractors operating in 78 offices who provide real estate brokerage and financing services to sellers and buyers of commercial real estate. We also offer market research, consulting and advisory services to our clients. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we closed ~~2,085~~2,357 and 4,442 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total volume of approximately ~~$9.8 billion.~~$11.4 billion and $21.1 billion, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we closed 8,979 sales, financing and other transactions with total volume of approximately $42.2 billion.

We generate revenues by collecting real estate brokerage commissions upon the sale, and fees upon the financing, of commercial properties and by providing 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. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, approximately ~~93%~~91% of our revenues were generated from real estate brokerage commissions, 6%8% from financing fees and 1% from other revenues, including consulting and advisory services. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, approximately 92% of our revenues were generated from real estate brokerage commissions, 7% from financing fees and 1% from other revenues, including consulting and advisory services. During the year ended December 31, 2017, approximately 90% of our revenues were generated from real estate brokerage commissions, 7% from financing fees and 3% from other revenues, including consulting and advisory services.

We divide commercial real estate into four major market segments, characterized by price:

Our strength is in serving private clients in the$1-$10 million private client market segment, which contributed approximately 65% and ~~71%~~69% of our real estate brokerage commissions during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and approximately 65% and 70% of our real estate brokerage commissions during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The following tables set forth the number of transactions, sales volume and revenues by commercial real estate market segment for real estate brokerage:

We continue to increase our presence in the United States and Canada through execution of our growth strategies by targeting markets based on population, employment, level of commercial real estate sales, inventory and competitive opportunities where we believe the markets will benefit from our business model. In the second quarter, we completed a transaction to acquire Pinnacle Financial Group and a related company PFG Servicing, Inc. These acquisitions expanded our presence in the financing market in themid-west and added commercial mortgage servicing to financing services available to our clients.

The following charts set forth the percentage of transactions by region for real estate brokerage.

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 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 those that need financing and refinancing. We principally monitor the commercial real estate market through four factors, which generally drive our business. ~~These~~The factors are the economy, commercial real estate supply and demand, interest rates, availability of financing, capital markets ~~and~~conditions, investment sentiment and investment activity.

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 a negative impact on our business. Economic indicators and projections related to job growth, unemployment, interest rates, retail spending and confidence trends can have a positive or a negative impact on our business. Overall market conditions can have an effect on investor sentiment and, ultimately, the demand for our services from investors in real estate. ~~Elevated~~In the wake of tax reform at the end of last year, consumer and business confidence ~~in the first quarter, likely invigorated by the new tax law,~~levels have surged to record levels. We believe this broadly held positive outlook has supported ~~steady economic growth. Consumption,~~increased consumption, business investment and ~~hiring all maintained a sound pace of growth in~~economic growth. Job creation through the first ~~quarter, pointing~~half of 2018 has been markedly stronger than during the same period last year, while the total number of available jobs is at record levels and the unemployment rate has been flirting with20-year lows. Though these trends are favorable, they also raise inflation risk, causing the Federal Reserve to ~~a positive outlook for the year. Risks~~tighten monetary policy resulting in some risk to the longer-term growth outlook. Trade tensions are another area of risk to the generally favorable economic outlook, ~~include stock market volatility, prospects of~~and although a trade war ~~and rising geopolitical risk, all of which~~would likely have ~~the potential to disrupt confidence levels and~~nominal direct effect on commercial real estate performance, negative economic ~~growth. While the stimulus of tax reductions has begun to fuel spending,~~ripples from a trade war could potentially weigh on commercial real estate space demand. Despite these risks, we believe additional gains could be impeded should additional clarification of the tax law not emerge soon. Congress’ inability to pass needed technical corrections to the tax law and the slow emergence of guidance from the IRS could erode some of the potential lift. It is widely anticipated that the new leadership of the Federal Reserve will continue to cautiously exert upward pressure on interest rates to contain inflation risk. We believe sentimentremain optimistic about economic expansion inthrough the remainder of 2018, ~~remains conservatively optimistic.~~and the benefits this momentum will bring to commercial real estate investors.

Our business is dependent on the willingness of investors to invest in or sell commercial real estate, which is affected by 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. ~~Despite the generally moderate~~The strong pace of economic growth ~~over the past eight years, we believe~~so far this year has reinforced demand for all types of commercial real estate ~~offers a compelling option for investors, as~~space, sustaining positive real estate ~~fundamentals generally~~fundamentals. We believe these trends should remain ~~balanced. Theslow-but-steady~~in-place ~~economic gains generated~~for the remainder of 2018 as the strong economy supports elevated hiring, wage growth, consumption and household formation. Although construction remains elevated for apartments, self-storage facilities, hotels and industrial properties, demand ~~while keeping construction levels limited for most property types~~has largely kept pace on a ~~national scale, although construction is elevated for~~macro level.

Rent growth has begun to flatten for several property types, but the overall momentum continues to be positive. The extension of the positive outlook should enable commercial real estate investors to advance their ~~underwriting models with greater confidence, supporting investor demand for the sector.~~valuation models.

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. Changes in interest rates, as well as steady and protracted movements of interest rates in one direction, whether increases or decreases, could adversely or positively affect the operations and income potential of commercial real estate properties. These changes also influence the demand of investors for commercial real estate investments. We believe that indications from the U.S. Federal Reserve of future interest rate increases and a reduction of the Federal Reserve balance sheet could place upward pressure on interest rates. This, together with uncertainty ~~as to the impact of new fiscal policies,~~created by trade tensions, stock market volatility and ~~rising longer term interest rates~~questions regarding international monetary policy remain a short-term headwind for real estate transactions. ~~In addition, a recent change of the Chairperson of the Federal Reserve~~These risks could ~~alter Federal Reserve policies and have a meaningful impact on~~intensify if short-term interest rates ~~and investor activity. We have continued~~rise above long-term interest rates, creating an inverted yield curve, an event commonly perceived to ~~see~~precede a recession, as negative media coverage could potentially erode the current economic strength. However, lenders continue to offer ample capital supply while maintaining disciplined underwriting ~~from lenders, who have tightened their underwriting standards modestly, as well as ample~~granting the investment market strong liquidity ~~in the market.~~and balanced lending resources.

We rely on investors to buy and sell properties in order to generate commissions. Investors’ desires 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 are often motivated to buy, sell and/or refinance properties due to personal circumstances such as death, divorce, partnership breakups and estate planning. WeIn contrast to the early part of 2017, when uncertainty weighed on investor activity, we are seeing a modest increase in both investor sentiment and activity levels. Though current transaction counts are below the peak set in 2016, they remain strong by historical standards, offering a very active and dynamic sales climate. Still-strong occupancies and rent gains, together with positive momentum from the new tax laws, economic growth, comparatively low interest rates and broad capital availability are all favoring the investment market. By the same token, we believe that ~~we are in a maturing real estate cycle. During the last two years, the sales transaction market has continued to step-down from peak levels set in 2015. We believe~~ the maturing cycle, combined with volatility in financial markets, inflation trends and rising interest rates ~~have caused~~are still causing some investors and lenders to ~~assume~~apply more cautious underwriting assumptions, resulting in the slowdown in sales. Furthermore, although investor sentiment has risen since the new tax law was enacted, many investors are still grappling with the complex new rules, further delaying transactions. We believe the boost to investor sentiment generated by the new tax law, together with the healthy property fundamentals and lackmodestly restraining sales activity. The convergence of over-leveraging during the past several years should likely manifest in rising transaction activity as additional guidance from the IRS emerges and as tax professionals provide investors with more guidance on how the new rules can be applied. We believe that thesethis array of factors should continue to support ~~long-term~~ commercial real estate investor demand and, therefore, demand for our brokerage and financing services.

We follow the guidance for segment reporting, which requires reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. Substantially all of our operations involve the delivery of commercial real estate services to our customers including real estate investment sales, financing 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 only one operating segment for financial reporting purposes.

Our revenues are primarily generated from our real estate investment sales business. In addition to real estate brokerage commissions, we generate revenues from financing fees and from other revenues, which are primarily comprised of consulting and advisory fees.

Our business is transaction oriented and, as such, we rely on investment sales and financing professionals to continually develop leads, identify properties to sell, 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-$10 million private client market segment. 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 market segments, we have seen our overall commission rates fluctuate fromperiod-to-period as a result of changes in the relative mix of the number and volume of transactions closed in the middle and larger transaction market segments as compared to the$1-$10 million private client market segment. These factors may result inperiod-to-period variations in our revenues 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 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.

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. Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions are typically recognized at the close of escrow.

We earn financing fees by securing financing on purchase transactions or by securing refinancing of our clients’ existing mortgage debt. To a lesser extent, we also earn mortgage servicing fees and ancillary fees associated with financing activities. We generate mortgage servicing fees through the provision of collection, remittance, recordkeeping, reporting and other related mortgage servicing functions, activities and services. We recognize financing fee revenues at the time the loan closes and we have no remaining significant obligations for performance in connection with the transaction. ToWe recognize mortgage servicing revenues upon the acquisition of a ~~lesser extent, we also earn ancillary fees associated with financing activities.~~servicing obligation and at the time services are rendered, provided the loans are current and the debt service payments are made by the borrowers and when new servicing rights are acquired.

Other revenues include fees generated from consulting and advisory services performed by our investment sales professionals, as well as referral fees from other real estate brokers. Revenues from these services are recognized as they are performed and completed.

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.

The majority of our cost of services expense is variable commissions paid to our investment sales 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, there are some who are initially paid a salary and certain of our financing professionals are employees and, as such, 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 also have the ability to earn additional commissions after meeting certain annual revenue 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 the Company’s election, and paid at the beginning of the fourth calendar year. Cost of services also includes referral fees paid to other real estate brokers where the Company is 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.

The largest expense component within selling, general and administrative expenses is personnel expenses for our management team and sales and support staff. In addition, these costs include facilities costs (excluding depreciation and amortization), staff related expenses, sales, marketing, legal, telecommunication, network, data sources and other administrative expenses. Also included in selling, general and administrative are expenses for stock-based compensation tonon-employee directors, employees and independent contractors (i.e. investment sales and financing professionals) under the 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“2013 Plan”) and the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“~~2013~~ ESPP Plan”).

Depreciation ~~and amortization~~ expense consists of depreciation ~~and amortization~~ recorded on our computer software and hardware and furniture, fixture and equipment. Depreciation and amortization are provided over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years for owned assets or over the lesser of the asset estimated useful lives or the related lease term for leasehold improvements. Amortization expense also consists of amortization recorded on our mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) using the interest method over the period that servicing income is expected to be received and amortization recorded on intangible assets amortized on a straight-line basis using a useful life between one and six years.

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of interest income, net gains or losses on our deferred compensation plan assets, realized gains and losses on our marketable securities,available-for-sale, foreign currency gains and losses and othernon-operating gains and losses.

Interest expense primarily consists of interest expense associated with the stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) liability, notes payable to former stockholders and our credit agreement.

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 the change in the mix of our activities in the jurisdictions we operate due to differing tax rates in those jurisdictions. Our provision for income taxes includes the windfall tax benefits, net from shares issued in connection with our 2013 Plan and ~~2013~~ ESPP Plan.

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. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted, which reduced the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018.

We have a long history and significant expertise in our core property types of multifamily, retail, office and industrial. We have expanded our expertise in the specialty property types by hiring and assigning specialty directors to coordinate our national presence in these property types and expand our market share. The following tables set forth the number and sales volume (dollars in billions) of investment sales, financing and other transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 by property type:

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. During ~~each of~~ the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, we closed ~~nearly~~more than 2,300 and 2,100 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total volume of approximately ~~$9.8~~$11.4 billion and ~~$8.5~~$11.3 billion, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we closed more than 4,400 and 4,200 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total volume of approximately $21.1 billion and $19.8 billion, respectively.

Our total revenues were ~~$174.5~~$199.4 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to ~~$153.2~~$180.4 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of ~~$21.3~~$19.0 million, or ~~13.9%~~10.6%. Total revenues increased primarily as a result of ~~an increase~~increases in real estate brokerage commissions and financing fees, partially offset by ~~decreases~~a decrease in ~~financing fees and~~ other revenues.

Real estate brokerage commissions. Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions increased to ~~$162.5~~$181.6 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 from ~~$140.1~~$162.6 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of ~~$22.4~~$19.1 million, or ~~16.0%~~11.7%. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in ~~sales volume (22.0%) and~~the number of investment sales transactions ~~(6.4%~~(7.9%) and increase in average transaction size (14.0%). These factors combined to generate the increase in sales volume of 23.0%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in average commission rates ~~(11~~(21 basis points) due to a larger proportion of our transactions that closed in the>~~$20 million larger~~ Middle and Larger transaction market ~~segment,~~segments, which generate lower commission rates.

Financing fees. Revenues from financing fees ~~decreased~~increased to ~~$9.7~~$15.6 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 from ~~$10.1~~$12.7 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $2.9 million, or 22.5%. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the number of financing transactions (6.1%) and increase in average transaction size (11.0%). These factors combined to generate the increase in sales volume of 17.8%. In addition, the average fee rates increased on average by 1 basis point due to overall improved rates across all loan types.

Other revenues. Other revenues decreased to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $5.1 million for the same period in 2017, a decrease of ~~$0.3~~$2.9 million, or ~~3.3%~~56.8%. The decrease was primarily driven by a ~~decrease~~large consulting and advisory fee earned in ~~sales volume (13.8%) due to an outsized growth in refinancing transactions during the three months ended March 31,~~ 2017 with no such ~~similar growth during the three months ended March 31,~~fee in 2018. ~~This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average fee rates (7 basis points) due to overall improved rates across all loan types.~~

~~Other revenues.~~ Other revenues decreased to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $3.0 million for the same period in 2017, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 24.1%. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in consulting and advisory services during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Our total operating expenses were ~~$151.1~~$170.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to ~~$134.2~~$155.4 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of ~~$16.9~~$15.1 million, or ~~12.6%~~9.7%. The increase was primarily due to increases in cost of services, which are variable commissions paid to the Company’s investment sales professionals and compensation related costs in connection with our financing activities, selling, general and administrative costs and to a lesser extent depreciation and amortization, as described below.

Cost of services.Cost of services increased to ~~$101.6~~$119.9 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 from ~~$89.6~~$110.4 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of ~~$12.0~~$9.5 million, or ~~13.4%~~8.6%. The increase was primarily due to increased commission expenses driven by the related increased revenues noted above. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues decreased to ~~58.2%~~60.1% compared to ~~58.5%~~61.2% for the same period in 2017 primarily due to a decrease in the proportion of transactions closed by our more senior investment sales professionals who are compensated generally at higher commission rates. Traditionally, cost of services as a percent of total revenues is lower during the ~~three-month periods~~six-month period ended ~~March 31~~June 30 as certain investment professionals may earn additional commissions later in the year after meeting annual revenue thresholds.

Selling, general and administrative expense.Selling, general and administrative expense increased to ~~$48.1~~$49.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 from ~~$43.2~~$43.7 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of ~~$4.8~~$5.4 million, or ~~11.2%~~12.3%. Increases in our selling, general and administrative expense have been driven by our growth plans and investments in technology, sales and marketing tools and marketing and expansion of our services supporting our investment sales and financing professionals. These initiatives have primarily driven (i) a $1.8 million increase in sales operations support and promotional marketing expenses to support sales ~~activity,~~activity; (ii) a ~~$1.7~~$1.1 million increase in other expense categories, net, primarily driven by our expansion and growth; (iii) a $1.1 million increase in stock-based compensation driven by fluctuations in our stock price and incremental stock-based awards since the second quarter of 2017; (vi) a $0.9 million increase in compensation related costs, including salaries and related benefits and management performance compensation primarily due to changes in bonus accruals and ~~(iii)~~(v) a ~~$0.6~~$0.7 million increase in facilities expenses due to expansion of existing offices. ~~In addition, selling, general~~These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in legal costs and administrative expense increased due to a $0.7 million increase in stock-based compensation driven by fluctuations in our stock price and incremental stock-based awards since the first quarter of 2017.accruals.

Depreciation and amortization expense.Depreciation and amortization expense increased to ~~$1.4~~$1.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million, or ~~6.0%~~15.3%.

Other income (expense), net increased to ~~$1.2~~$1.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 from ~~$0.8~~$1.0 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest income on our investments in marketable securities,available-for-sale, partially offset by a decrease in the value of our deferred compensation plan assets held in the rabbi trust.

There were no significant changes in interest expense for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

The provision for income taxes was ~~$6.3~~$8.2 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to ~~$7.5~~$10.1 million in the same period in 2017, a decrease of ~~$1.2~~$1.9 million, or ~~16.0%~~18.9%. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 was ~~25.9%~~26.9% compared to ~~38.5%~~39.2% for the same period in 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the decrease in the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21%. Permanent items and other increased in 2018 compared to the prior year period due to changes in tax laws under the Act, primarily relating to ~~additional limitations for deductions under IRC~~changes to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and ~~deduction disallowance for~~the tax rules regarding the deductibility of entertainment expenses.

We calculate our provision for income taxes using an annual effective tax rate based on projected taxable income for the year adjusted for the effects of permanent and discrete items. Deferred taxes are adjusted for significant changes in temporary items in the period in which they occur. The future effective tax rate may vary from this estimated annual effective rate due to several factors, including but not limited to, the level of state and foreign jurisdiction activity, future changes in tax laws, the amount of future book versus income tax items that are permanent in nature and changes, if any, in a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.

The provisions for income taxes includes the difference in book and tax deductions associated with the settlement of shares under the Company’s 2013 Plan and certain disqualifying dispositions of shares issued under our ESPP Plan.

Below are key operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 (dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Our total revenues were $373.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $333.6 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $40.4 million, or 12.1%. Total revenues increased primarily as a result of increases in real estate brokerage commissions and financing fees, partially offset by decrease in other revenues.

Real estate brokerage commissions. Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions increased to $344.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $302.7 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $41.5 million, or 13.7%. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the number of investment sales transactions (7.2%) and increase in average transaction size (14.3%). These factors combined to generate the increase in sales volume of 22.5%. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in average commission rates (16 basis points) due to a larger proportion of our transactions that closed in the Middle and Larger transaction market segments, which generate lower commission rates.

Financing fees. Revenues from financing fees increased to $25.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $22.8 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $2.5 million, or 11.1%. The increase was driven by growth in sales volume (3.4%), which was generated by an increase in average transaction size (9.1%) and an increase in average fee rates (4 basis points). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the number of financing transactions (5.3%).

Other revenues. Other revenues decreased to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $8.1 million for the same period in 2017, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 44.6%. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in consulting and advisory services during the six months June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Our total operating expenses were $321.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $289.5 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $32.0 million, or 11.1%. The increase was primarily due to increases in cost of services, which are variable commissions paid to the Company’s investment sales professionals and compensation related costs in connection with our financing activities, selling, general and administrative costs and to a lesser extent depreciation and amortization, as described below.

Cost of services.Cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately $21.5 million, or 10.8% to $221.5 million from $200.0 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to increased commission expenses driven by the related increased revenues noted above. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues decreased to 59.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 60.0% for the same period in 2017 primarily due to a decrease in the proportion of transactions closed by our more senior investment sales professionals who are compensated generally at higher commissions rates. Traditionally, cost of services as a percent of total revenues is lower during thesix-month period ended June 30 as certain investment professionals may earn additional commissions later in the year after meeting annual revenue thresholds.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $10.2 million, or 11.8%, to $97.1 million from $86.9 million for the same period in 2017. Increases in our selling, general and administrative expense have been driven by our growth plans and investments in technology, sales and marketing tools and marketing and expansion of our services supporting our investment sales and financing professionals. These initiatives have primarily driven (i) a $3.6 million increase in sales and promotional marketing expenses to support increased sales activity; (ii) a $2.5 million increase in compensation related costs, including salaries and related benefits and management performance compensation; (iii) a $1.8 million increase in stock-based compensation expense due to fluctuations in our stock price and incremental stock-based awards since second quarter of 2017; (iv) $1.3 million increase in facilities expenses due to expansion of existing offices (v) a $1.2 million increase in other expense categories, net, primarily driven by our expansion and growth. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in legal costs and accruals.

Depreciation and amortization expense.Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.6 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $0.3 million, or 10.7%. The increase is primarily driven by our expansion and growth.

Other income (expense), net increased to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.8 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest income on our investments in marketable securities,available-for-sale and value of our deferred compensation plan assets held in the rabbi trust.

There were no significant changes in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

The provision for income taxes was $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $17.6 million in the same period in 2017, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 17.6%. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was 26.4% compared to 38.9% for the same period in 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the decrease in the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21%. Permanent items and other increased in 2018 compared to the prior year period due to changes in tax laws under the Act, primarily relating to changes to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the tax rules regarding the deductibility of entertainment expenses.

The provisions for income taxes includes the difference in book and tax deductions associated with the settlement of shares under our 2013 Plan and certain disqualifying dispositions of shares issued under our ESPP Plan.

In this quarterly report on Form10-Q, we include anon-GAAP financial measure, adjusted earnings before interest income/expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, or Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest income and other, including net realized gains (losses) on marketable securities,available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents, (ii) interest expense, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, ~~and~~ (v) stock-based compensation ~~expense.~~expense and (vi) othernon-cash MSR activity. 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 an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We find Adjusted EBITDA as a useful tool to assist in evaluating performance because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items related to capital structure, taxes andnon-cash stock-based compensation charges. 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 income, operating income or any other measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income, to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in thousands):

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, marketable securities,available-for-sale and, if necessary, borrowings under our credit agreement. In order to enhance yield to us, we have invested a portion of our cash in money market funds and in 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 fees on redemptions and/or gate fees. 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 and cash equivalents, proceeds from the sale of marketable securities,available-for-sale or availability under our credit agreement.

Cash held in our Canadian operations aggregated ~~$296,000~~$251,000 and $421,000 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Our total cash and cash equivalents balance ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$21.4~~$19.2 million to ~~$199.4~~$240.0 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to $220.8 million at December 31, 2017. The following table sets forth our summary cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

Cash flows ~~used~~provided in operating activities were ~~$13.0~~$23.0 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to ~~$37.1~~$0.5 million for the same period in 2017. Net cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities is driven by our net income adjusted fornon-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The ~~$24.1~~$22.6 million improvement in operating cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily due to increases in our volume of real estate brokerage and financing activities, the reduction in our effective income tax rate, differences in timing of payments and receipts, a decrease in advances to our investment sales and financing professionals, a change in bonus accruals and a lower proportion of operating expenses compared to revenues. These improvements in operating cash flows were partially offset by a decrease in the deferral of certain discretionary and other commissions. We traditionally experience net cash used in operating activities during the three-month periods ended March 31 since bonuses and certain deferred commissions related to the prior year(s) are typically paid during the first quarter of the new year.

Cash flows used in investing activities were ~~$6.8~~$1.4 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared ~~$19.9~~to $22.0 million for the same period in 2017. The ~~improvement~~change in investing cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily due to ~~$5.3~~$7.6 million in net purchases and proceeds of marketable securities,available-for-sale for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to $18.3 million ~~in net purchases of marketable securities,available-for~~ ~~sale~~ for the same period in 2017. This change was partially offset by business acquisitions in 2018, which resulted in a $6.2 million use of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2018. See Note 3 – “Acquisition” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Cash flows used in financing activities were ~~$1.7~~$2.4 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to ~~$1.4~~$2.0 million for the same period in 2017. The change in cash flows used in financing activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was impacted by taxes paid related to net share settlement of stock-based ~~awards.~~awards with no such activities in 2018 due to the adoption of ASU2018-02,Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. See Note 1011 – “Stock-Based Compensation Plans” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

We believe that our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, cash flows expected to be generated from our operations, proceeds from the sale of marketable securities,available-for-sale and borrowings available under the credit agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. 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, among other factors, to fund acquisitions or to otherwise finance our growth or operations. In addition, our notes payable to former stockholders and SARs liability have provisions, which could accelerate repayment of outstanding principal and accrued interest and adversely impact our liquidity.

There have been no material changes in our commitments under contractual obligations, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Our commissions and other variable costs related to revenue are primarily affected by real estate market supply and demand, which may be affected by general economic conditions including inflation. However, to date, we do not believe that general inflation has had a material impact upon our operations.

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 material changes in our critical accounting policies, as disclosed in in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 except for the following:

The Company generates real estate brokerage commissions by acting as a broker for real estate owners or investors seeking to buy or sell commercial properties. The Company generates financing fees from securing financing on purchase transactions as well as fees earned from refinancing its clients’ existing mortgage debt and other financing activities. Other revenues include fees generated from consulting and advisory services, as well as referral fees from other real estate brokers. The Company’s contracts contain one performance obligation related to its real estate brokerage, financing and consulting and advisory services offered to buyers and sellers of commercial real estate and provide that it is operating as a principal in all its revenue generating activities. The Company does not have multiple-element arrangements, variable consideration, financing components, significant noncash consideration, licenses, long-term contracts with customers or other items affecting the transaction price. Accordingly, the Company determined that the transaction price is ~~generally~~ fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue in principally all cases at the close of escrow for real estate brokerage, close of loan for financing and when services are provided upon closing of the transaction for other revenues.

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 – “Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We maintain a portfolio of investments in a variety of fixed and variable debt rate securities, including U.S. government and federal agency securities, corporate debt securities, asset backed securities and other. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the fair value of investments in marketable securities,available-for-sale was ~~$130.4~~$117.4 million. The primary objective of our investment activity is to maintain the safety of principal, 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 and when a security no longer meets the criteria of the Company’s 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 rating (exclusive of cash and cash equivalents) was AA as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. 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 market risk. 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 the variable rate debt securities as the income produced may decrease if interest rates fall. The following table sets forth the impact on the fair value of our investments as of June 30, 2018 from changes in interest rates based on the duration of the securities (dollars in thousands):


Change in Interest Rates	Approximate Change in Fair Value of Investments Increase (Decrease)			Approximate Change in Fair Value of Investments Increase (Decrease)
2% Decrease	$	3,928		$	2,833
1% Decrease	$	1,972		$	1,416
1% Increase	$	(1,972	)	$	(1,415	)
2% Increase	$	(3,942	)	$	(2,830	)

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. To date, realized foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses have not been material.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated by and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The design of any system of control is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all future events, no matter how remote, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may not deteriorate. Because of its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 insurance 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 proceeding cannot be determined, we review the need for our accrual for loss contingencies quarterly and ~~records~~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.

For information on our legal proceedings, see Note 1314 – “Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2017 other than the new risk factor below.

Our existing goodwill and other intangible assets could become impaired, which may require us to takenon-cash charges.

In the second quarter of 2018, we made certain acquisitions that resulted in the recording of intangible assets and goodwill. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisitions arises from the acquired assembled workforce and commercial lending platform.

Under current accounting guidelines, we evaluate our goodwill and other intangible assets for potential impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. We perform the required annual goodwill impairment evaluation in the fourth quarter of each year. Any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets would result in anon-cash charge against earnings, such charge could materially adversely affect our reported results of operations and the market price of our common stock in future periods.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
